Chapter 5: There is no good feast
Xu Yan glanced at the dishes on the table, and finally found that something was wrong, although the dishes on the table were delicious, they were all just ordinary dishes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the world of Xianwu, people who practice martial arts are very particular about ingredients.
The same is meat, ordinary domestic animals can only satisfy the appetite, only wild beasts, their flesh and blood with herbs cooking can have the effect of nourishing qi and blood, thereby promoting cultivation.
"No need. Xu Yan shook his head, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat the food.
The attitude of the Great Xia Kingdom could not be more obvious, if Xu Yan was just full of warm thoughts, they would definitely be doubly satisfied, but anything related to martial arts cultivation would not be provided.
Including the prescription prescribed by the old lady doctor to Xu Yan, the selected medicinal materials are all ordinary herbs, and they do not contain the slightest effect of nourishing qi and blood.
Not to mention changing one table of food, even changing another hundred tables is the same result.
Xu Yan ate to his heart's content, since he crossed over to the Sky Continent, he hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, and the dishes in front of him still tasted very good.
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Yan looked at Xiao Dezi and asked, "How much silver do we still have in our hands?"
Xiao Dezi spread his hands and replied: "The prince goes in and out of various places in the Imperial City of the Great Xia Kingdom, and all the bills are free, where can I use the silver." If you really want to say how much, we really don't have a few taels of silver, and aren't they all with you, Childe?"
Xu Yan's eyes darkened, and it was as expected.
The so-called free bills in various places mostly refer to restaurants and Qinglou and other places, as for pharmacies, treasure pavilions, etc., they will definitely not buy it, and they can't get anything without real money.
In short, the Great Xia Kingdom is happy to let Xu Yan be a prince who does not learn and has no skills.
"That's all it takes for the Great Xia Kingdom, after all, I am the prince of the Wu Kingdom, but the queen of the Wu Kingdom is difficult to target everywhere. Under the internal and external troubles, I have a dozen taels of silver in the hands of a dignified prince, who will believe it?"
In martial arts cultivation, in addition to exercises, resources such as pills are very important.
With the prescription attached to the internal strength of "The Thirteen Palms of the Dragon", if you bathe in hot water with special medicinal herbs every day, your cultivation speed will be increased by more than 50%.
In addition, in terms of diet, the more qi and blood nutrients you eat with three meals a day, the better the cultivation effect.
The price of high-quality herbs and ingredients is expensive, and the use of them day in and day out is undoubtedly a huge expense, which is not something Xu Yan can afford now.
If you can't keep up with the resources, no matter how high your qualifications are and how good your exercises are, your cultivation speed will definitely be greatly reduced.
"Go down first, and I'll call you when there's something." Xu Yan asked Xiao Dezi to step down, and without his summons, no one should be disturbed in the hospital.
Xu Yan calmed his mind and quickly entered the cultivation state again, and in just half an hour, the meal he had just eaten was digested and turned into a small amount of qi and blood.
Although the amount of qi and blood transformed by ordinary meals is small, before Xu Yan stepped into the inner breath realm, adding a few more meals a day can have a good starting effect on cultivation.
For seven or eight days, Xu Yan closed his door and practiced hard in the "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon".
Generally speaking, even if a genius is just getting started, he should be guided by his master to avoid getting mad. Xu Yan has the Daoyuan Heavenly Book, but he is not subject to this restriction, and he is very familiar with the cultivation of the "Thirteen Palms of the Wandering Dragon", and his strength has improved very quickly.
The early morning sun shone into the room, and Xu Yan, who had been practicing all night, made a few closing movements, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and slowly opened his eyes.
After a sleepless night, Xu Yan did not feel tired at all, but was full of energy.
Feeling the abundance of qi and blood in his body, Xu Yan showed a smile, and punched his robe with a casual punch, and a stream of internal breath flowed in his arm.
"At the current rate, it is estimated that it will take two or three months before I can step into the early stage of the Inner Breath Realm. ”
According to Xu Yan's estimate, the power of his current punch is about five hundred catties, and there is still a considerable distance from the early stage of the Inner Rest Realm.
When the internal breath is connected in a line in the meridians, a punch is at least a thousand catties of power, and only in the early stage of the internal breath realm can the power of the "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon" move be truly exerted.
"In addition to the thirteen palm moves and internal strength and heart method, "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon" also contains a set of corresponding body techniques, and now that the injuries in my body are almost healed, I can give it a try. ”
The mansion arranged by the Great Xia Kingdom for Xu Yan is not small, and it is divided into two courtyards, inside and outside.
Xu Yan usually lives in the inner courtyard, without his order, people dare not trespass, in the quiet courtyard, rockeries, flowers and plants have a unique scenery.
"In addition to not being free to cultivate, this identity is enough to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world. ”
Xu Yan couldn't help but think about it, such an arrangement of identity and status, I am afraid that there is a deep meaning in the Star Academy.
A teenager born in the Great Wilderness has been born with his back to the loess and facing the sky, struggling in the harsh living environment, and suddenly being in the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food, how many people can adhere to the heart of martial arts?
"Since I have set foot on the martial arts, only by sticking to my heart can I climb all the way to the top!"
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Xu Yan slowly walked to the center of the courtyard, and the content of the body mantra of "Thirteen Palms of the Swimming Dragon" flashed quickly in the sea, and he rose from the ground with his toes, and moved quickly from side to side like a spiritual snake.
I saw Xu Yan skillfully borrowing his strength, flashing his figure quickly in the courtyard, dragging a string of afterimages behind him, and the speed was extremely fast.
Xu Yan jumped a few times in the air very smartly, and finally landed firmly in place, quite a bit of a master's demeanor.
"This set of body methods is simple, direct and very practical, if combined with the moves of "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon", it is extremely powerful between moving and jumping, which can be described as both offensive and defensive. However, a few movements just now are not perfect enough, and I have to practice a few more times. ”
Xu Yan silently recalled the actions just now, summed up a few key points, and rose again to turn into an afterimage.
If the others were present, they must have been shocked by Xu Yan's performance, and they would never have imagined that this was the first time he had cultivated this body method.
Although "Thirteen Palms of the Wandering Dragon" was only assessed as a first-order lower-grade exercise method by the "Daoyuan Heavenly Book", it is quite famous in various countries, and it is a martial arts inheritance that is not passed on in the martial arts, and ordinary people cannot reach this level even after a few years of hard practice.
"Childe, the four princes of the Great Xia Kingdom sent an invitation. Xiao Dezi waited outside the courtyard gate and reported softly.
There are a total of nine princes of the Great Xia Kingdom, except for the eldest prince who was sent to the Wu Kingdom as a proton, and the two young princes, among the rest of the princes, only the fourth prince, Murong Yan and Xu Yan, have some contacts.
"Bring the invitation. Xu Yan made a few moves neatly, took the invitation and opened it for a closer look.
In the invitation, Murong Yan greeted him, since Xu Yan fell from his horse and fell off the cliff and was injured, he was very worried about Yunyun. Knowing that Xu Yan's injury had almost recovered, nine days after meeting, a banquet was held for him in Jinkui Tower to celebrate.
Xu Yan touched his chin, with a playful expression, and said:
"The predecessor fell off the horse and fell off the cliff, which was an accident when he went to hunt with the four princes. There was already something strange about this matter, and now Murong Yan has specially set up a banquet for me, but I am afraid that there will be no good banquet. ”
Even so, Xu Yan still asked Xiao Dezi to reply to a letter, promising to go to the banquet on time.
"Let me see, what tricks did Murong Yan play this time?" Xu Yan crumpled the invitation into powder.
should make an appointment to go to the banquet, Xu Yan did not waste half a minute of time, and alternately cultivated internal strength and body method.
Three days later, Xu Yan's injuries were completely healed, and even the slight dark injuries left before were completely removed after some recuperation, and his physical condition reached an unprecedented peak state.
According to Xu Yan's arrangement, more than a dozen wooden stakes and sandbags were erected in the courtyard to set up a simple martial arts training ground.
Smack!
Xu Yan deftly shuttled between the wooden stakes, and his right palm turned into three afterimages in a row, and slapped on the three sandbags, and the three coarse linen sandbags weighing two or three hundred catties shattered in response.
"This sandbag is still too light. Xu Yan showed a dissatisfied expression.
Now the power of one punch has reached six or seven hundred catties, and ordinary sandbags can't be satisfied at all, and the "Thirteen Palms of the Dragon" move has been cultivated to the realm of Xiaocheng, and it is best to use an iron sand bag weighing eight or nine hundred catties.
This kind of iron sand bag specially made for the cultivation of palm art costs nearly a hundred taels of silver each.
If you cooperate with the cultivation of the body method at the same time, you will need at least a dozen iron sand bags, which alone is nearly a thousand taels, not to mention, as the realm increases, the weight of the iron sand bags needs to be increased accordingly.
Xu Yan rubbed his palms, although the conditions were difficult, the cultivation effect was quite satisfactory to him, a pair of jade palms were rigid and flexible.
Travelers, unpredictable.
Dragons, mighty and unmatched.
"Thirteen Palms of the Dragon" has a total of thirteen styles, the moves are rigid and soft, complement each other, the body is elegant and smart, once you fight with people, the change of moves is continuous, and the internal force is endless.
Seven days passed in a flash, Xu Yan left the mansion for the first time, boarded the carriage in front of the door, and went to the Jinkui Tower to make an appointment with the fourth prince Murong Yan.
When Xu Yan arrived at Jinkui Tower, Murong Yan and his party also happened to be there. Murong Yan was dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a jade crown on his head and gorgeous clothes. Beside him, there were several children of the Great Xia Kingdom family with him.
"Brother Xu Yan, I haven't seen you for more than ten days, I miss it very much. Last time, I asked you to go hunting in the back mountain, but I didn't expect an accident, but fortunately you are not in trouble, otherwise I would not be happy. ”
Murong Yan looked Xu Yan up and down carefully, and while saying with a smile on his face, he muttered to himself in his heart:
Strange! Why does this kid look full of energy, where does he look like he is recovering from a serious injury?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Murong Yan looked casual on the surface, hugged Xu Yan and the accompanying group of people and laughed and entered the banquet room of Jinkui Tower.
The banquet room was set on the third floor of the Jin Kui Building, which was also the best room, and when Xu Yan followed Murong Yan to the pavilion, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the venue in the middle.
The structure of the Jinkui Building is special, each floor is only surrounded by rooms and corridors, and a large piece in the middle is completely hollowed out, and a martial arts platform with a length and width of several zhang is built in the air.
"Come on, come on, sit down and have a drink. Later, there will be a wonderful program. Murong Yan pulled Xu Yan to sit down in the banquet, and when he turned around, he showed a sneer.
