Chapter Fifty-Four: The Toad Palace
"Stacking" is the basis for dividing the level of Zhongchen, and after several foldings of martial energy, it is several stacks of strong people.
Every time Xiao Chenwei breaks through the realm, he will open up a big vein and increase one-ninth of his martial energy.
And the stack of Zhongchen directly doubled the total martial energy of Xiaochen Jiuming.
Xiao Chen's martial arts strength has increased by one-ninth, and the difference in strength is huge, not to mention that it has been doubled?
Therefore, it is often said that Xiaochen Jiuming is not enough to mention in front of Zhongchen, which is reasonable.
Now, Lu Qingchen has broken through the Zhongchen position.
Because there were ninety-nine small veins that had an additional store of martial qi, in fact, his martial qi had increased by a full two times.
In terms of the total amount of martial energy, it is equivalent to the middle of the two assimmies.
In addition, Lu Qingchen's martial qi in the past has been tempered by Lingmi, which is quite pure.
Therefore, in terms of martial qi strength, there are very few Zhongchen Rank Permian that can be compared to Lu Qingchen.
Coupled with the body technique and the yellow-level high-grade martial arts, he fought each other, and no Zhongchen Rank Stack was his opponent.
Even if it is the third stack of Zhongchen, it may not be able to help him!
The only drawback is the strength of the bones, which has not changed significantly with the improvement of the realm.
His bone strength at the moment is only stronger than the Zhongchen Position, far less than the Zhongchen Position.
It is a slow process for the Imperial Bone Vein to nourish the bones, unless, according to the introduction in the "Hundred Veins Secret Codex", a secret medicine called "Iron Bone Paste" is configured with special materials to accelerate the operation of the Imperial Bone Vein, so as to speed up the refining of the bones.
It's just that the main material for boiling iron bone paste must be the essence of the bones of the middle-level brute beasts, bone crystal!
The so-called bone crystal is the crystallization unearthed after the entire skeleton of the brute beast is coated with special materials, and then thrown into a simmer to roast for seven days and seven nights.
Bone crystal contains the essence of brute beast bones, and is usually used to treat bone-related diseases, prepare secret medicines, refining tools, etc., with various uses, and the higher the bone crystal level, the better the effect.
But brute beasts are extremely scarce existences, they grow in distant wilderness areas, each strength is extraordinary, and it is extremely difficult to hunt them.
A complete skeleton of a brute beast is hard to come by, and money can buy it.
Lu Qingchen has been in Guzhou City for more than ten years, and he has only heard the news of bone crystal two or three times.
If you are deliberately looking for it now, can you find it in a short time?
Refining bones is not in a hurry, so you can only slowly figure it out.
Now that half a month has passed, I believe that Yumen Pass has already relaxed its vigilance, and it is time to return to Lonely Boat City.
Open the stone door, re-swipe it in the groove, and retrieve the remaining silver, and the card will be missing 36,000 taels of silver.
The cost is staggering, but it's worth it.
"Congratulations on breaking through the Zhongchen position." The middle-aged man in the martial robe walked from a distance, with a smile in his eyes, but there was unspeakable suspicion in his eyes.
The movement caused by Lu Qingchen's breakthrough two days ago was quite large, and the essence of the entire Concentration Cave Heaven was completely sucked away.
That level of movement will only appear if the first stack of the middle stage breaks through to the second stack, right?
Lu Qingchen clenched his fists: "Thank you seniors for letting go of the secret room." ”
Without his nod and permission, Lu Qingchen might not have been able to break through in such a suitable place.
"I'll sell you and buy it, fair trade, no thanks." The middle-aged man in the martial robe waved his hand lightly, secretly guessing Lu Qingchen's strength at the moment.
It was close to the Zhongchen Rank Stack before, and now that the martial arts have doubled, it should be able to barely fight with the Zhongchen Rank Stack, right?
He was wrong about something.
Lu Qingchen's martial aura skyrocketed not by double, but by two times!
Zhongchen is a two-fold position, and no one should be his opponent.
"Then I will say goodbye." Lu Qingchen hugged his fists gratefully, his heart was like an arrow, and he was anxious to return to Lonely Boat City.
The middle-aged man in the martial robe said with a smile: "In such a hurry, is it to catch up with the Toad Palace?" Rest assured, it's not time yet, and you should be in a hurry. ”
Lu Qingchen was slightly stunned: "Toad Palace is a laurel?" ”
Now, it was the turn of the middle-aged martial arts robe to be surprised, as a Dengfeng person, he didn't know that Toad Palace was crowned?
"Oh, I have been cultivating with my master in the mountains all year round, and I don't know much about the outside world." Lu Qingchen noticed the strange color in the other party's eyes, and immediately made up a reason.
The middle-aged man in the martial robe suddenly made sense, no wonder he was extremely unfamiliar with the rules of the Concentration Cave.
"I see!" The middle-aged man in the martial robe smiled and said: "I can only say that it is very good for you to get out of the customs, and today is the annual Toad Palace." ”
"This activity is sponsored by Feng Manlou, every year will take out a hundred treasures, hanging on the laurel tree on the roof of Feng Manlou, Dengfeng Tianjiao teenagers as long as they pay 10,000 silver, they are eligible to participate, through each other, according to the ranking of the competition, you can get the corresponding ranking of treasures."
Lu Qingchen asked, "How many people usually participate?" ”
"A thousand." Martial robes are middle-aged.
Lu Qingchen smiled dumbly: "Feng Manlou will do business, a thousand people, one person ten thousand taels, a total of ten million taels of silver, the total value of the one hundred treasures, the total value is estimated to be less than five million, this activity, earning five million out of thin air, is really a good business." ”
The middle-aged man in the martial robe said approvingly: "You can see it thoroughly, yes, this is an activity where most people give money and a few people make a profit!" Feng Manlou can make a profit of five million, and top martial artists can harvest treasures worth millions of silver, as for most of the rest, the focus is on participation! ”
Dengfeng is a land of abundance, and 10,000 silver is not an unbearable price for many young warriors.
Take the opportunity to witness the strong people of the same generation learning from each other, and 10,000 silver will not be lost.
"What treasures do the top players get?" Lu Qingchen was a little curious.
The middle-aged man in the martial robe said: "The reward of this Toad Palace's laurel has increased a lot compared to the previous ones, and the first place is a yellow-level high-grade martial arts fragment, and there is only one style that can be cultivated. ”
Lu Qingchen's eyes were flat, and he remembered so many yellow-level high-grade martial arts that he had long since stopped looking at them, let alone a fragment?
"Second place is a dark iron knife."
"Third place is half a bone crystal."
"Fourth place is ......"
Suddenly, Lu Qingchen's eyes flashed: "Wait, bone crystal?" ”
The middle-aged man in the martial robe had been paying attention to Lu Qingchen's expression, and when he found the reward of the first place, he was not moved at all, and secretly understood.
Surprisingly, he was actually interested in bone crystal.
"Yes, half a bone crystal of the Zhongchen Five-Stack Brute Beast, the reward for the third place."
This half bone crystal fully meets the requirements of iron bone paste!
"In this case, Lu wants to participate in the trial, I don't know how long it will last?" Lu Qingchen secretly thought, how could it take more than two days for a grand event attended by 1,000 people to complete the competition, right?
The middle-aged man in the martial robe intended to make friends, and pointed out: "It won't be long before you have the cultivation of the middle stage, and you don't need to compete with a thousand people at the same time. ”
"The Toad Palace is divided into four sub-fields, of which the first field is specially prepared for the strong people in the Zhongchen position, and there is an age limit, not more than twenty years old, and there should be no more than seven eligible people."
"The ranking of the first game is directly used as the total score, after all, there is no second one like you who has played the strength of the middle position." The young man in the martial robe said with a smile.
Also, the first game is all in the middle position.
Even if the other three games are the strongest Xiaochen Jiuming, can he be the opponent of Zhongchen?
Therefore, they can end the game early and take away the prizes, and the rest of the contestants have no opinion.
"Thank you!" Lu Qingchen hugged his fists in thanks, and immediately came to the roof of the Fengmanlou.
The expansive rooftop, which is already overcrowded, surrounds the four venues.
One of the venues was a spacious bell tower on which six young men already sit.
"The dragon and phoenix of the previous session and the previous session have gathered!"
"Just looking at them from afar, 10,000 taels of silver is not a waste."
"Yes, the two Dragon and Phoenix Tianjiao are usually cultivating separately, and only the Toad Palace can get together, and the annual gathering is to learn, but you have to keep your eyes open."
In the bell tower, six people talked and laughed.
The strongest cultivator is the oldest wheat-skinned young man Wu Jingyun, who is higher than everyone else's Zhongchen rank two-fold cultivation, making him the focus of the most attention.
On the left side of it, there is a girl in brocade with a weak expression, slender as a willow, sitting quietly and weakly, which is endearing.
She is the second place in the last year's dragon and phoenix, Ran Xiaofei!
On the right side is a scholar sitting in a precarious position, the third place in the same class, the scholar of Guyun.
The three of them sat side by side, and the three people opposite them were juniors who were one year below them.
The woman in the center is as beautiful as a pearl, radiant, and the beautiful women who are carefully dressed up become a foil in front of her.
She is none other than Nalan Ruoshui.
On the left and right sides sat a nineteen-year-old man, Xiao Qianjun, who was the second place in the same class, and Mo Heng, who was the third place.
Wu Jingyun is the dragon head of the six, and he presides over the topic.
"The strong ones who compete for the dragon and phoenix are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the first field of each Toad Palace, it is not surprising that our dragon and phoenix lead the top three to occupy." Wu Jingyun sighed, and there was a sense of superiority and pride in being a genius of the dragon and phoenix.
The scholar of Guyun bowed his head slightly, glanced at the ordinary young men and girls who threw jealousy, envy, and admiration at them, and thought deeply: "The big waves sweep the sand, and the dragon and phoenix are the best screening, and all the gold like us is screened out......"
As soon as the words fell, the quaint wooden staircase of the bell tower creaked.
A young man wearing a brocade robe with a standing collar climbed the stairs.
The appearance is handsome and dusty, the temperament is elegant, gentle as jade, and the eyes are clear and deep.
Walking up to the bell tower, as if there was no one beside him, he randomly picked a seat at the end and sat down lightly.
The six people present looked at him puzzled.
The Lone Cloud scholar glanced at him and reminded: "This place is a field, and idlers are not allowed to enter. ”
Lu Qingchen saw his words and responded indifferently: "Then I didn't come to the wrong place." ”
Hey? Everyone was immediately curious.
Could it be that he is a genius in the middle of the world?
