Bluestone Ridge, cold wind and bleak.

I couldn't see my fingers in the night.

Li Daochong's eyes flashed slightly, he could actually see the gray scene three or four feet away, and he already had a clear spiritual eye.

This is one of the signs of the first layer of gas refining.

Li Daochong hid behind a large bluestone, and not far away, a group of stonehorn oxen gathered together and slept cross-legged.

Although the Stonehorn is a herbivore, it is extremely violent and aggressive, and hundreds of civilians die under the horns of the Stonehorn every year.

Li Daochong held his breath, clenched his hand and held the rusty scythe, this was the only weapon he could find in the slums, which should be used for weeding, and the penniless Li Daochong could only use it.

Li Daochong's target is a stonehorn cow, and now a group of stonehorn cows are gathered together, and the movement is too big to wake them up, which is sad.

On the first level of qi refining, it would be good to be able to pass a stonehorn cow, and a group of stonehorn cows, I am afraid that the third layer of qi refining may not be able to deal with it.

Li Daochong picked up a small pebble under his feet and threw it at the smaller stonehorn cow closest to him.

Da!

The pebbles bounced off the thick hide, and the stonehorn didn't even feel it, and it didn't even touch it.

Just when Li Daochong was struggling how to seduce a stonehorn cow out.

Suddenly......

Oh!

A dull roar came from one side.

Li Daochong was taken aback, his body tightened, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly rolled into the gap under the big bluestone.

This sound is the characteristic roar of a hyena.

The sleeping herd of stonehorn cattle woke up in an instant, let out a burst of mooing screams, and panicked.

The hyena is the natural predator of the stonehorn cow and the king of the wild animals of the Blue Bay Star.

It takes at least the strength of the fourth layer of Qi refining to be able to deal with it.

The first layer of qi refining is a dish in front of the hyena.

Hions are infested, and the wind is blowing.

A black shadow jumped out from under the big bluestone on Li Daochong's right, and a hyena with a body length of more than one zhang was no more than five zhang away from Li Daochong's hiding place.

Li Daochong broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't feel that the hyena was so close to him, if the target of the hyena was himself, wouldn't this have become a Chinese meal for the hyena.

The herd scattered and fled, and the hyena was as fast as lightning, locking on to its target and pounced on it, biting it on the neck.

The stonehorn screamed and fell to the ground, and soon fell silent, and the hyena lay on top of the stonehorn, regardless of the other prey.

Li Daochong no longer had the heart to hunt the stonehorn at this time, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, and the hyena was far from being able to deal with it by himself.

Li Daochong crawled out of the gap, and with the help of the big bluestone cover, the cat retreated little by little, making sure that the hyena did not pay attention to himself, turned around and ran away.

After the upgrade, Li Daochong's running speed has improved a lot, and his sick body at the beginning actually had to run for 17 seconds in the 100-meter sprint, and even the little girl couldn't run.

The old Zhiling watch on Lee's wristband shows that he can cover a distance of 100 meters in just 10 seconds.

The improvement is far beyond Li Daochong's imagination.

Li Daochong was overjoyed in his heart.

Suddenly, moo, a cow barked.

It's right in the ear.

Li Daochong jumped out of the corner of his eyes, reacted quickly and jumped to the right, and a gust of wind passed behind him, and a huge stonehorn cow rubbed his body and crashed over.

Rumble!

The stonehorn cow that came from the sneak attack hit a large bluestone more than a foot high, and directly knocked the big bluestone over.

Li Daochong's palms were cold sweat, what kind of strange power is this, this stonehorn is obviously bigger than other stonehorns, almost the size of a hyena, with a high and bulging back, and a pair of stone horns on the top of his head are big and wide, with sharp horns.

The stone-horned ox looked restless and furious, knocked over the big bluestone without pause, turned around, accelerated, and crashed into Li Daochong even more quickly.

The stonehorn weighs more than 500 kilograms, but its huge size does not affect its speed at all, and at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, it is a galloping Lingfu locomotive in front of ordinary people.

Bah!

Li Daochong spat at the mouth, held the sickle in both hands, jumped up, and jumped more than four meters high.

Stonehorn slammed into the air, mooed, and yelled impatiently.

Li Daochong fell from the sky, took advantage of the falling momentum, and stabbed the sickle in his hand into the back of the stone-horned cow.

Whew!

The one-and-a-half-foot-long scythe sank into the back of the stone-horned oxen.

The stinging pain made the stonehorn go completely crazy, mooing, frantically shaking, bang, Li Daochong was thrown off vigorously and hit a large bluestone.

Li Daochong felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and before he could stand up, the stonehorn bull rushed over angrily.

The handle of the sickle rests on the back of the stonehorn.

Li Daochong got up in a hurry, seeing that he couldn't dodge, he subconsciously stretched out his hands and grabbed the horns.

Even if the first layer of qi refining is absolutely unable to overwhelm the stone horned cow in terms of strength, Li Daochong is completely instinctive at this time, and he can't dodge it.

Syllable!

The moment his hands touched the horns, Li Daochong was full of strength.

"Huh?"

Li Daochong made a strange sigh, why was the strength of the stonehorn so weak, he actually succeeded in intercepting the collision of the stonehorn, and he only took five or six steps back.

After a stalemate, Li Daochong gritted his teeth and slammed his hands, and the stonehorn cow was knocked to the ground by him, and the cow was panting in his nose.

Only then did Li Daochong find that the blood on the back of the stone horn cow was stabbed by the sickle like a spring, this knife seemed to stab the vital point, no wonder the strength of the stone horn cow dropped significantly, and after being knocked down, he never got up, and vaguely there seemed to be a cyan light mist from the stone horn cow's body, burrowing into Li Daochong's body.

This will Li Daochong has also exhausted his strength, the spiritual energy in his body is exhausted, he does not dare to stay here for a long time, and there is a hyena hundreds of meters away.

Li Daochong drove the dilapidated Lingfu pickup truck over, used the lever principle to get the stonehorn ox behind the car, and returned to the city with the prey.

With only a rusty scythe, Li Daochong, who had just stepped into the first layer of qi refining, slaughtered an adult stonehorn cow unscathed, which was already quite good.

When he got home, Li Daochong parked the car in the yard and fell asleep when he entered the house.

The next day, the silver bottle looked at the behemoth in the back of the car, and opened his small mouth for a long time and couldn't close it.

Li Daochong didn't explain to her, but asked her to hurry up and prepare the base and ingredients, and eat hot pot at noon.

The silver bottle is well-behaved and obedient, she won't ask much about the young master, and she will never ask unless the young master says it himself.

Li Daochong took a lot of effort to unload a corbel, the only two kitchen knives in the house and the sickle were all broken, and the hardness of the stone-horned ox bone was beyond imagination.

There is no good bone chopping knife, but I am afraid that the stonehorn ox will rot before it eats its mouth.

Li Daochong was not ambiguous, carrying a beef leg and went to Liu Butcher's shop in the East Lane next door to change a brand new bone chopping knife, in the slum Shijiao beef is a first-class goods, Liu Butcher saw that the beef leg was fresh and full of meat, and it was a wild species at a glance, so he gave Li Daochong a bone chopping knife made of pangang without saying a word.

When he got home, Li Daochong kept shirtless for a moment, dismembering, deboning and scraping the flesh of the stonehorn cow.

At noon, the master and servant had a big meal, and Li Daochong's stomach was round before he stopped.

In the afternoon, some of the offal and meat were sold at the vegetable market, which is not common in the slums, and the price was cheap, so it was sold out in a few moments.

The silver bottle happily earned more than 300 federal coins, and yesterday's sadness disappeared.

After lunch, Li Daochong opened the blood upgrader and was surprised to find that the balance of soul power value displayed on the equipment material exchange column was not 0, but 10.

Li Daochong immediately remembered the pale cyan mist that appeared when he killed the stonehorn ox.

"If you guessed correctly, kill the ghost to get upgraded soul power, and kill the beast to get soul power?"

Li Daochong muttered to himself, the preliminary judgment is so, and whether the guess is correct or not needs to be further verified.

As a programmer, Li Daochong has a rigorous and thorough style of doing things.

How exactly does the Bloodthirsty Upgrader work? How do I upgrade? What are the requirements? What kind of strength will increase with each level?

Li Daochong wants to know the answers to many questions as soon as possible.

The Bloodthirsty Upgrader shows that it is currently level 1.

Li Daochong felt that the amount of spiritual energy in his body had increased significantly, and the previous spiritual energy was completely due to the pills that his father Li Tianyang fed him at any cost.

It's a pity that the effect is very small, Li Daochong's nine basic spiritual veins, no matter what method he uses, he can't get through.

This kind of qualification equivalent to being crippled, not to mention cultivating the truth, is not as good as ordinary people.

There are nine basic spiritual veins in the human body, and the number of talented people will vary from one to the other, and there are also Xuantian spiritual veins above the five element spiritual veins.

There are very few people who have the Xuantian spirit vein, and every one of them is the pride of the sky.

If you want to cultivate the truth, you must first open up the nine basic spiritual veins, and every time you raise a layer during the Qi refining period, the basic spiritual veins will open one.

Nine layers of qi refining, nine veins are all connected, ten layers of qi refining and nine veins are one, and the spiritual root is solid, and the foundation is built.

There has always been a saying on the spiritual network, 'If you don't build a spiritual foundation, don't say that you are a cultivator.'"

"Basic Exercises" Li Daochong was very disappointed after his own practice, there was nothing surprising, they were all simple and repetitive movements, the only difference was that there were no restrictions on this set of exercises, which could be played with bare hands, or used on swords and guns.

It's too complicated, and it falls into the middle of nowhere, which is contrary to the specialization emphasized in the school.

What's even more strange is that Li Daochong has obviously refined qi by one level, but the basic spiritual veins in his body have not been opened, and the increased spiritual energy is completely fed back to him after absorbing the soul power of the blood upgrader.

There are still some questions to be solved about the blood upgrader, and what Li Daochong can do now is to consolidate the "Basic Exercises", stabilize the aura in the body, and strengthen the refining of qi.

……

The weekend passed quickly.

In the morning, Li Daochong drank five bowls of Shijiao beef soup and five large steamed buns, and set out on the way to school after eating and drinking.

Li Daochong ran all the way from the slums of Xicheng to the gate of Xuancang University, a distance of nearly 30 kilometers, and the whole process did not stop for more than an hour.

In Li Daochong's opinion, the blood upgrader is just a springboard, as for how high he can jump, he has to rely on himself, and continuous cultivation is the king.

When Li Daochong saw the magnificent gate of Xuancang University, a chuckle appeared on his face, and he ran down at a constant speed for thirty kilometers, Li Daochong gasped slightly, and did not feel tired, which was absolutely impossible before.

Just as Li Daochong stopped and walked towards the school gate, a 'Xingchen' class spirit float came and stopped beside Li Daochong.

The car door opened, and a tall and beautiful girl stepped out of the car door, which immediately attracted the attention of many students inside and outside the school gate, the envy of the woman, the straight eyes of the man, the first beauty of Xuancang University, and the first beauty of Tianyuan City, Qiao Ximo.

Li Daochong's current nominal fiancée.
