Chapter 2: The Mysterious Magic Stone
Qi Yue knew that the world he was in was called Great Xia Divine Continent, and Great Xia Divine Continent was divided into five small worlds.
Each of these five areas is extremely vast and vast, and many people will not be able to get out of the area for the rest of their lives!
The Snowy Night Country is located in the northern land.
This land has short days and long nights throughout the year, with snow all year round and a cold climate.
It's winter season, and there are only five hours of the day during the day.
Qi Yue had just finished picking medicinal herbs, and at this moment it was already sunset, and it was approaching dark, and the cold wind was like a knife, blowing even more violently.
Qi Yue quickened his pace and ran all the way to the south, where the outline of a huge city wall was clearly visible.
The upper and lower parts of the city wall are made of black bricks and stones, and there is Qi Yue's home, Black Cloud City.
"I've finally entered the city, it's so dangerous, if it's one step too late, I can only spend the night outside the city tonight!"
The cold wind entered his throat, and it was as painful as swallowing a sharp blade, Qi Yue gasped heavily, and after nearly half an hour of running, he finally entered the Black Cloud City in the evening.
And at this moment, the city gate guards have closed the gate of Black Cloud City.
"When I came back so late, Xiao Zhao and He Bo must be very worried about my safety. Thinking of this, Qi Yue's heart felt sour.
Qi Yue has relied on the two of them since he was a child, all the chores at home are taken care of by Uncle He, and Xiao Zhao has to do laundry and cook every day for several years.
The whole family treated Qi Yue very coldly, and the monthly distribution of silver was pitiful. This made Qi Yue and the three of them struggling to make ends meet, and they still couldn't make ends meet.
There is no way, He Bo and Xiao Zhao can only go out to work often to supplement their families with their meager income. But even if they are subordinates, the two of them, like Qi Yue, are often looked down upon and treated unfairly.
Qi Yue ran all the way to his courtyard, looking into the distance, his heart suddenly tightened, and the two figures stood outside the gate against the cold wind and looked here, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Qi Yue and the two returned home and put down the basket.
Xiao Zhao is one year younger than Qi Yue, with delicate facial features, a delicate face, bright and moving eyes, a weak body, and two ponytails combed on the left and right, looking a little pitiful.
"Childe, the dishes are almost cold, let's eat them quickly. ”
Xiao Zhao stretched out his hand to pat off the snowflakes on Qi Yue's body, and took off the thick deerskin coat for Qi Yue.
"I'll do it myself. Xiao Zhao, Uncle He, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together. Qi Yue said.
He Bo and Xiao Zhao were both hungry, the two looked at each other, and said in unison: "Childe, we are not hungry." ”
"I'm Childe, you all have to listen to me and eat together. Qi Yue's tone was unquestionable.
The two nodded and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
After a day's long journey, Qi Yue was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and after seeing the dishes on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he devoured his hands left and right.
"Childe eat slowly, there are quite a few. Xiao Zhao smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescent moons.
The fire in the house was booming, although it was snowing heavily outside, it was very warm inside, and when they saw Qi Yue's eating appearance, the two finally showed a smile.
"I have harvested a lot of Xuanyin Grass today, plus the herbs accumulated before, I should be able to go to the medicine shop to exchange for a Quenching Pill. ”
After dinner, Qi Yue fell into deep thought, and then returned to his room.
The fire in the room was blazing, and there was a large bowl of hot mare's milk, which He Bo and Xiao Zhao had prepared for themselves.
This season is very cold, there is a fire to have warmth, drink a cup of hot mare's milk, can also make the body warmer, play a role in the effect of driving away cold, supplement nutrition, improve physical fitness.
But mare's milk is not cheap.
He Bo and Xiao Zhao always believed that their son-in-law would always have a blockbuster day, and the warrior could not be too poor in nutrition, so the two always insisted on preparing mare's milk for Qi Yue every day.
Qi Yue took out the black stone in his arms, put it in the firelight and looked at it carefully, looking around.
The black stone is simple and unremarkable, like a goose egg, except for the appearance of translucent, nothing else, like stone not stone, like jade not jade, like wood not wood.
"It's strange, it doesn't look like anything special, why does it emit black light? And those tall shade grass ......"
Qi Yue was skeptical.
"Shhh
Qi Yue's palm inadvertently touched the fire, and he suddenly shivered, and the next moment the stone was accidentally thrown out and fell into the bowl.
"Boom!"
There was a dull sound, Qi Yue felt distressed for a while, and the black stone fell into the bowl, splashing a lot of milk, and losing half a bowl of mare's milk.
The price of mare's milk is not low, but now it has become dirty, Qi Yue secretly said that it was a pity, but he was very reluctant.
Then Qi Yue picked up the mare's milk and drank it all.
After a busy day, Qi Yue felt very tired, and he didn't have the energy to study the black stone anymore, so he hastily took off his coat and fell on the bed to prepare for sleep.
"It's so hot......"
Time passed little by little, Qi Yue fell on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, his body was suddenly extremely hot, he could bear it at first, but then it became more and more serious, and he was miserable.
Qi Yue kicked off the thick leather blanket, tore his shirt, and naked, his upper body was naked, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his breathing became more and more rapid.
"What's the matter? This mare's milk ...... It must be the black stone!"
"Save ...... Save ......"
Qi Yue's consciousness gradually blurred, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that he wanted to scream, but he felt like he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
That extremely hot and violent force invaded his whole body, and Qi Yue's chest seemed to be about to explode!
If someone saw it now, they would definitely be horrified to find that on Qi Yue's chest and back, black vein lines actually appeared densely.
These lines have the thickness of blood vessels, like spider webs, like black meridians, floating in Qi Yue's body, and then gradually bulging, and the next moment it will break out.
"Roar!"
There was a dull vibration from Qi Yue's chest, it was a violent struggle from the depths of his soul that Qi Yue couldn't roar out.
Heart-rending pain!
It's like the soul is going to explode!
This terrifying frenzied violence filled Qi Yue's limbs, bones, flesh and blood, and Qi Yue's whole body was covered with black lines, about to explode!
"I can't die! Qi Yue, if you can't even bear such pain, how can you hope not to be bullied!"
Qi Yue used a roar from the depths of his soul to resist this violent energy, which was about to tear apart the meridians of his body.
But Qi Yue was born with broken veins, broken meridians, nothing left, and was bullied and ridiculed, what could be more painful?
Thinking of his countless desperate cultivations, countless times he was beaten and still resisted, Qi Yue felt such pain, what was he afraid of!
Little by little, time passed.
Qi Yue's eyes were bloodshot, and he fell on the bed without moving, and his whole body was as if he had been washed with sweat, and he was extremely wet. The thick leather blanket was also bitten and scratched by Qi Yue, and everything was as if nothing had happened.
The pain became lighter and lighter, Qi Yue gradually breathed steadily, and without any strength, he fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, Qi Yue woke up and opened his eyes.
He was surprised to find that not only did he not feel any tiredness, but he was full of vitality and energy, as if everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.
Qi Yue looked at the head of the bed, which was still dark and dark, exuding a black light.
He picked up the black stone, noticed a small pattern on the stone, and mused, "It must be because of this mysterious magic stone, otherwise I would not have suffered such pain after I drank the mare's milk." ”
Qi Yue looked around, and suddenly found that his eyesight had become clearer, his body had become lighter, and his Xuan power had become more abundant and abundant.
"Fourth Profound Force, this is a sign of a breakthrough! How is it possible? I have actually succeeded in breaking through to the fourth level of the Quenching Body Realm!"
The amount of Xuan power is the criterion for distinguishing the realm of martial artists in the quenching realm.
A martial artist who has a heavy body has a heavy Xuan power and only has a hundred catties of strength, while a double martial artist has a double Xuan power and can burst out with a strength of two hundred catties.
The triple warrior has a strength of 300 catties, and the quadruple warrior has a quadruple internal strength, which can explode with a strength of 400 catties.
In addition, as the cultivation realm of a martial artist increases, the speed, agility, visual and auditory abilities of a martial artist will also increase accordingly.
In the past six years, Qi Yue only had three levels of Xuan power, but now, Qi Yue clearly felt that the Xuan power was growing.
Qi Yue was pleasantly surprised!
From the time he entered the martial arts at the age of eight, for a full six years, Qi Yue's cultivation had been stuck in the triple level of quenching the body, no matter how much Xuanyin Grass he took, no matter how hard he tried to forge his body, it would be useless.
But now, just one night has passed, Qi Yue has actually succeeded in reaching the quenching quadruple!
Six years of desperate cultivation have finally not been in vain!
How does this make him not excited!
"What the hell is this black stone, and it can actually help me break through my cultivation when it is used to soak in the soup?"
Qi Yue felt scared for a while, if he hadn't insisted desperately last night, I'm afraid he would have been blown up to death by this violent force!
Qi Yue knew very well that if people knew that they had such an artifact on their bodies, they would definitely lead to death, and this black magic stone must not be known to anyone.
"Childe, are you up? Hobo's voice came from outside the door.
"Got it, Uncle He, go get busy first, I'll come right away. Qi Yue's thoughts were interrupted, and then he answered. He didn't plan to carry it with him, but put the black magic stone in the house and hid it, and then opened the door and walked out of the room.
After breakfast, Qi Yue packed the Xuanyin grass and prepared to leave for Fang City.
"Childe, are you planning to go to Fang Market to sell medicinal herbs?" Uncle He suddenly said: "These Xuanyin grasses weigh a hundred catties, let me accompany Childe." ”
"No, I'll just go alone, a hundred catties of Xuanyin grass is not a problem. Qi Yue said.
He Bodao: "Childe, there are some quenching pills in the market that are not pure, although I am nearly sixty years old, I still have some experience, no matter how I say that I am also a martial artist with a quenching body, go together, and have a good response." ”
"Childe, Xiao Zhao is waiting for you to come back at home. Xiao Zhao said as he cleaned up the table.
Qi Yue nodded, so Uncle He carried the flat burden and walked towards Fang Market with two large baskets of Xuanyin grass.
