Chapter Seventy-Five—Putting Stone into the Pattern

With Xu Tian's teaching, he is not only a tattoo artist, but also a tattoo doctor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the tattoo science of this world, the qi palace is the main grain force and the sea of qi. Therefore, for the tattoo master, the qi palace is the top priority. The more powerful the Qi Palace, it is almost equal to the main combat power of the Tattoo Master.

The heart palace is the body and mind.

The stronger the heart palace, the more direct the number of lines you control. The physique is a relative influence on the combat power of the tattooer.

Because the heart is the greatest acupoint, it is also the beginning and end point of the flow of qi and blood.

If the heart is broken, the flow of qi and blood in the limbs will also be weakened, and more serious heartache will even cause the qi and blood to flow to the body, affecting the operation of the body - this is Xu Yan's current situation.

Xu Yan, who was congenitally weak, coupled with the carved palace pattern that broke through the limit, caused Xu Yan's body to not run smoothly now, and the whole person has lost all his ability to act. Being able to move your fingers is already the ultimate in what can be done.

Regarding Bai Yun and Zuo Chengzhe's worries, Xu Yan comforted him instead: "It's okay, the situation is not as bad as I imagined. But I need medicine, find a big city to settle down, take medicine and gradually recover. 」

............

The situation is not as rosy as expected.

Bai Yun, Zuo Chengzhe, and Xu Yan drove into various cities in a Nauro carriage, but found that Xu Yan's prescription lacked a few medicinal materials in the key. Xu Yan was also a little speechless about this, although he had been practicing medicine for several years, it was the first time he really prescribed medicine.

As for the knowledge of medicine, he still knows the various medical books given by Xu Tian and the [Atlas of Mainland Planting Trees] in the previous volumes. It's just that some of them will specifically state the rarity.

But the few flavors he prescribed didn't say how rare they were.

Even so, if you don't have it, you don't have it.

And the medicinal herbs that lack the key flavors can still be used.

In about two weeks, Xu Yan was already able to sit up on his own. But he couldn't stand up, because the wounds hadn't healed yet. For this result, Xu Yan was also shocked in his heart.

It's just two minutes above the limit.

If it's three minutes...... Or more?

He didn't dare to imagine it, but it was also a warning to himself.

He had always wanted to challenge himself what would happen in fifteen minutes if he exceeded his limit, but now he didn't dare anymore.

When they passed through those small cities, they also tried to ask about the medicinal herbs in them, but they all said that if they wanted such rare medicinal materials, probably only the big cities would have the opportunity to find them.

Therefore, their current destination is a big city in addition to Zhinancheng - Night Lion City.

............

Xu Yan was helped out of the car by Zuo Chengzhe and sat next to the fire.

Xu Yan, who hadn't gotten out of the carriage for a long time, was suddenly relaxed.

He raised his head and looked at the night sky, a little mixed in his heart.

He was twelve years old.

It was as if in the blink of an eye, I had really come to this strange world for twelve years.

Once upon a time, I was out of place here, but I began to have feelings for the world. Xu Tian, the mother he had never met, Lan Ming, Qiao Zhigang, Baiyunyuan, Zuo Chengzhe...... Each other's lives are intertwined, and then various fates are born.

"How did you do that?"

Zuo Chengzhe suddenly spoke, waking Xu Yan up from his contemplation.

"Huh?"

Zuo Chengzhe looked at Xu Yan with a very strange gaze.

He is not an ordinary person, he is a member of the Zuo family. Since he was a child, he has seen countless geniuses and geeks. Even himself, is one of them. The Sangong Realm, which is in his thirties, is an extremely demonic existence wherever it is placed in the north and south.

But Xu Yan in front of him is not so simple.

"I'm not talking about how you learned about the [Coiling Dragon] pattern that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family...... Yes, I'd love to know. But that's not what I want to know the most. 」

"I've heard Dean Bai Yun say what happened. Are you using ore into the grain?"

Zuo Chengzhe's eyes were complicated: "Do you know, why are the north and the south so incompatible?"

Xu Yan nodded slightly, this was already the limit of what he could do: "I have read that book, [The Origin of the North-South Split]. Zuo Chengzhe glanced at Xu Yan in a little surprise, he didn't expect Xu Yan, a tiger doll who looked like a big grin, to read that kind of book. It's just that when there is too much surprise in a person, they start to normalize such things.

"Yes. The south admires nature and believes that the tattoo is a gift given by God, so the carving into the palace should also use the natural things of heaven and earth - the tattoo plant as the material, while the north has a violent temperament and thinks that the tattoo is a battle, so the tattooed beast is the material. 」

"In addition to being very particular about which part to use, you also need to use the painstaking efforts of the tattooed beast as an introduction to carve into the palace. That means you have to kill the beast. 」

Zuo Chengzhe nodded, his face very solemn: "We southerners think that this kind of killing is against heaven and peace, so we strongly oppose it. 」

"And the northern tattooed person who entered the palace with a tattooed beast is also because of the reason that the tattooed beast is used as a material, and his personality has become more straightforward...... or violent. Love and hate clearly, and disdain for the South has always been called a hypocrite and a sissy. 」

"The two sides looked at each other more and more, and after hundreds of years of fighting, it finally became the irretrievable situation it is today. 」

"And the origin is the material that is carved into the palace. 」

Zuo Chengzhe stared at Xu Yan with a dead gaze: "Do you know how much impact it will have on the world if the matter of being able to use ore into the pattern can be spread?"

............

Xu Yan wanted to shrug his shoulders, but he couldn't, so he could only say in an uncaring tone, "You think too much about this. 」

"The reason why the tattoo can enter the pattern is because the tattoo comes from nature, is gentle by nature, and it can be called the tattoo plant, which is born with a variety of patterns and has a magical effect. 」

"Minerals are also derived from nature. Where do you think the stone came from?"

Xu Yan continued, "What I used to help you get into the tattoo that day was the [Frost Dragon Stone]. 」

"That stone, according to legend, is the Tattooed Beast [Wind and Frost Dragon]...... Ahem, the feces of the Wind and Frost Dragon. 」

When Zuo Chengzhe heard this, his expression was so wonderful that he couldn't speak. And Xu Yan was also disgusted, thinking that Zuo Chengzhe, who had always been wooden, could have such a wonderful expression.

"It's just that the dung has been weathered for hundreds of years and finally turned into Frost Dragonstone. The Wind and Frost Dragon is a very powerful tattooed beast, and it is naturally able to spit out the breath of wind and frost, and its breath alone can turn a tattooed person of the Second Palace Realm into an ice sculpture. Even if it is a strong person in the fourth house, it is not possible to be careless. 」

"And the Frost Dragon Stone is also a cold attribute material. After hundreds of years of weathering, it turned into ore, and it even has its own internal pattern. 」

"Tattooed plants and tattooed beasts can be carved into the palace, not just because they have their own patterns. Ore...... I call them pattern mines, and they are naturally able to get into the grain. Of course, all this is my speculation, and you have no choice at that point. 」

Zuo Chengzhe was speechless: "What do you mean by that I am your first test subject?"

"At that time, I didn't have a choice, and I didn't have any other materials in my hands that could be suitable for the texture. 」

Xu Yan repeated this sentence very slowly, as if he wanted to use the emergency situation as an excuse.
