Chapter 1: Crossing the Legend
Marfa Continent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ginkgo Valley in the southeastern part of the province of Beach.
The havoc of the orc invasion decades ago has left its legacy to the present day. The chaos and decay brought about by the war, as well as the growing demon tide, made the valley more and more desolate and dilapidated. The short-lived civilization brought by the immigrants of the Shenlong Empire in the north of the snow-capped mountains quickly dissipated before they could shine here.
Time seems to be frozen in the distant Middle Ages, backward, ignorant and wild.
Only the three major professions of warrior, mage, and Taoist priest have been inherited with the long legend of Sanlongwei to this day, and have become the most brilliant crystallization of the Ginkgo Valley within a radius of hundreds of miles.
If the fate is predetermined, the seemingly eternal peace here will continue for a few more years, until the cataclysm that engulfs the whole of Marfa comes. However, the will of the Marfa world was not willing to be destroyed, and it found the only coincidence from the endless time and space, and began to attract a steady stream of visitors from other worlds.
………
Time: 61st day since the crossing.
Location: Near the entrance of the Ginkgo Valley, home of the junior Taoist.
It was still a routine morning class, and during a break in cultivation, Shen Xia, who was a little irritable, slowly opened his eyes.
Feeling the barely noticeable growth in the power in his body, he frowned and opened the mysterious system in his mind again. Compared to a few days ago, the cultivation progress bar at the back of the level seemed to have moved forward a little invisibly, but it was still far from filling the progress.
He had to sigh, it was really difficult to rise from [LV0: Civilian] to [LV1: Daoist]!
However, just when Shen Xia was distressed by the stagnation of his cultivation, someone suddenly shouted at the door of the dojo: "Yuwen Palace is here!" It's time to hand out the elixir again! ”
The originally quiet Taoist temple suddenly became lively.
Many traversers who had not finished forging their bodies had stopped one after another when they heard the words, and rushed over in a hurry.
For this scene, Yuwen Palace, the aboriginal Taoist disciple of the Marfa world, seems to have become commonplace, from the earliest anger to resignation. With a cold snort, he went to the center of the dojo surrounded by a group of traversers, and began to release the medicine without saying a word.
Because he knew that everyone had it, and it was a fixed amount, Shen Xia was not in a hurry to squeeze in, but there was also joy on his face. The reason is very simple, relying on one's own cultivation alone, without the help of external forces, it takes too long to want to change jobs.
With the [Deer Blood Pill] issued by the Daoist Academy, it is different.
As you can guess from the name, this elixir is made with deer blood essence as the main ingredient, supplemented by several herbs. After taking it, it can replenish qi and nourish blood, subtly strengthen the body of the user, and increase the effect of body forging by at least 30%!
Although due to the simplicity of materials and refining methods, the Deer Blood Pill is only effective for civilians and quasi-professionals. But it is precisely for this reason that it is possible for the traversers to use it, rather than an elixir that cannot be expected!
Of course, even if it is relatively cheap, the Taoist Academy still only distributes one free deer blood pill every week.
After waiting patiently in line for a while, Shen Xia successfully received this week's elixir.
Looking around, some seniors who are close to changing jobs often do not take it immediately because of their own strength. Instead, use it when the state is adjusted and the forging efficiency is the highest. Or build up and take several capsules in a row for maximum results.
Shen Xia is different.
Once you get it, you take it almost immediately.
In the dojo, there were also many traversers like him, as if they were afraid that they would be snatched away in a few moments.
The Deer Blood Pill is a longan-sized, vermilion pill with a slightly pungent smell. Although it didn't smell good, Shen Xia, who had taken it more than once, knew that the effect of this deer blood pill was indeed very good. After a lower belly, he put on a posture and practiced the twelve forms of forging body handed down by the Taoist Academy.
Don't underestimate it because of this seemingly big name, according to the records of the Taoist Academy, this forging body twelve styles are inherited from the method of the Three Dragons!
On the Marfa Continent, the inheritance of the three major professions of war, law, and Taoism is very long, and it existed at about the same time as the emergence of the Zuma Sect. But the one who really inherited, perfected and carried forward the three major professions was none other than the Three Dragon Guards during the Shenlong Empire. What Shen Xia and the others cultivated was the most classic body forging method that had been perfected by the three dragon guards and was also shared by the three major professions before they changed jobs.
Single-style movements may seem simple, but it is difficult to achieve the standard. If you get out of shape slightly, the effect will be greatly reduced. But if you want to do enough standards, continue to boil your body, muscles and bones, and extraordinarily consume physical strength.
The complete twelve movements are down, and the burden on the traversers is no less than running a thousand meters!
Because of this, in the past body forging, Shen Xia often couldn't practice a few times because his physical strength and blood were exhausted, and he couldn't continue. But a deer blood pill fell into the stomach, and the warm medicinal power quickly dissolved, scattering into the limbs and hundreds of remains. After another set of movements, not only did the body not appear tired in the past, but there was a feeling of endless energy.
The faint flow of heat gushing out of the body flowed throughout the body with the twelve-style forging movement, constantly strengthening and transforming the physique.
Maybe you can't see the effect once or twice, but after five or ten times, it adds up to a lot, and there will naturally be an amazing improvement.
After a day's forging, even though the effectiveness of the Deer Blood Pill had only just been more than halfway played, Shen Xia had already felt a significant strengthening. This mesmerizing feeling is in stark contrast to the stagnation before taking the pill.
"Knock knock!"
Not far away, the bronze bell at the door of the dining hall rang in the twilight, and dinner was finally about to begin.
As Yuwen Palace, who was supervising their training, left with a cold face, the traversers dispersed from the dojo in twos and threes, ready to go to dinner. However, there are always some people who move very fast. It's obviously in the safety of the Dao Courtyard, but it's like being chased by some terrible monster. If you look closely, you will find that almost all of these people took it immediately after receiving the Deer Blood Pill before.
Shen Xia and the small young man who followed closely was also one of them.
This unattractive guy is called Fang Jin, his distant cousin, and the relationship between the two is not bad. Before the crossing, Shen Xia was named together under the prodding of this cousin.
It's just that I didn't expect that trip to make them suffer so much......
However, although the two ran fast, they still didn't get rid of the people who had been eyeing them for a long time. Not long after leaving the cultivation ground, five or six ill-intentioned guys chased after them and stopped them. The man at the head was a head taller than Shen Xia, hugged his arms, and said with an unkind face: "I was accidentally slipped by you at the end of last month, count you lucky." What do you say this time? I don't believe you can escape! ”
Shen Xia and Fang Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw that they were helpless.
While slowly retreating, he said: "Jiang Wenshan, we are far from resentment and no hatred, and you are a senior who entered the Taoist Academy two months early, why bother to make it difficult for us several times?" ”
His words reminded Jiang Wenshan of something, his face was unhappy, and he snorted: "What is so embarrassing!" It's clear that you don't know what to do! What did I say at the beginning? As long as you hand over the Deer Blood Pill, our brothers will cover you. In the future, you will have to eat and drink spicy food, and you will be helped to get ahead in trouble. Is this called embarrassing? Do you want me to say that it's just taking care of it? Everyone else knows how to appreciate it, but you two boys are too ignorant! ”
The more he talked, the more annoyed he snapped his fingers and surrounded him with a few accomplices.
There is a posture that you have to do it on the spot.
