Joshua was a chatterbox.

Xu Changqing rubbed his brows and sighed a little.

He had a good conversation with the young man in the tavern, and Joshua took the opportunity to ask him for some guidance on martial arts.

With an attitude of no necessity, he followed Joshua to a field on the edge of the town.

It's just that, looking at the rusty iron sword in the young man's hand and the messy swordsmanship, he really wants to tell the other party that it is better to stay in the town honestly and beg for a living.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to beat the kobold in the wilderness!

"How? My swordsmanship? ”

Joshua was very unaware of this, wiped his sweat, and asked expectantly.

"Hmm...... Average......"

Xu Changqing shook his head: "My cultivation is mainly 'Dao', and I don't have much research on this fist and foot and other kung fu......

"Knives? Actually, I can also practice knives......"

"No, it's the way!"

After correcting it a few times, Xu Changqing rolled his eyes and gave up struggling.

However, at this time, he suddenly became a little interested: 'Old man...... How do you say the people of this world are adapting to the Dao? If I create a temple here......

'The Tao of all things, you can try ......'

Sulu was watching the play on the side.

Xu Changqing then taught Joshua some methods of visualization and meditation.

This is mainly to collect the mind, hone the will, and lay the foundation for 'building the foundation and entering the path'.

"This strange cultivation method ......"

Joshua felt very strange, he often watched the training of the town's patrols, and it felt completely different.

What 'acupoints', 'tendons' and so on, I was confused.

And when he put on the posture of 'five hearts to the sky', it didn't take long for Xu Changqing to hear the sound of snoring.

'Forget it...... The barbarians of this world have a tendon, unless they are brought to my world from infancy to cultivate, it will be half the effort......

Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, and directly despaired.

He stepped forward and slapped Joshua awake.

"How? Teacher...... How am I doing? ”

Joshua asked excitedly, "I seem to have felt the kind of Immortal Realm you said just now......

"Uh-huh, so I'm going to teach you a secret method, the main purpose is to exercise your skin and muscles, and once you have a small success, you can make your body very hard, even resistant to swords...... Its workouts, which are mainly soaked in the body with different herbs every day, plus a set of movements, can quickly have an effect......"

"Teacher ......"

Joshua was so moved that he cried: "Woo...... You've been so good to me. ”

In this world, the secret method of making the skin comparable to leather armor is the preserve of high-ranking warriors and even legendary warriors.

Moreover, it can be effective in a short period of time.

Joshua felt that the lady luck who had been despising him finally smiled at him.

'The barbarians of this world...... Is it stupid? ’

Xu Changqing looked at this scene and complained to Su Lu in the sea of knowledge: "I taught him the method of entering the Dao, but he abandoned it, and the methods of refining corpses and refining bodies that he scavenged from the hands of evil cultivators were regarded as treasures...... Put the cart before the horse, as far as the ......'

It's just an ordinary person after all...... However, if you want to find someone who can understand the Dao, I'm afraid that both professionals and nobles can't, you have to be a mage, and you have to be a high-level or even legendary mage to roughly understand the introductory ......

Su Lu felt that Xu Changqing's idea of preaching had no future.

And ...... Grandpa, another batch of people! ’

Xu Changqing said in his heart: "Just now in the tavern, someone peeped at me, and now there is another one. ’

'As a strange powerhouse who suddenly appeared in the town, it was normal to receive some prying eyes...... Of course, this one has some exceptions......

Sulu replied.

'Oh? ’

Xu Changqing's expression changed, and he looked at a wooden stake not far away.

Above, a small bird with gray feathers was looking at him silently, tilting its head.

"Indeed...... Cultivators who manipulate birds and Gu worms are somewhat rare! ”

Xu Changqing bowed his head to the bird, as if to say hello.

……

Not far away in a small wood.

Druid Alley stamped his foot in annoyance: "Found ......"

As a level 6 druid, she excels at communicating with animals, as well as gaining several weak level magic from nature.

The reason why he followed Xu Changqing and Joshua was because he was curious about these two.

In the tavern, Joshua, who was babbling that he was going to exchange Baird Gavin's head for a bounty, was just adding to it.

What caught Alley's attention even more was Xu Changqing, a foreigner.

Not only does it look weird, but the name is even more weird.

But I don't know why, as a druid close to nature, she felt a trace of ancient nature in Xu Changqing.

So, she cast the spell 'Manipulate Animals', using one of her animal companions to stay close to the training ground all the time and share her senses.

At the same time, he also watched Xu Changqing's lecture throughout the whole process.

As for the content of the previous paragraph describing 'chatter', she was ignorant, and she was basically confused.

But when she heard that Xu Changqing was going to teach Joshua the secret method, Alley was still stunned.

As far as she knows, spells that can make a warrior's skin hard, there are 'petrified skins' among mages, and druids also have 'bark techniques', and their defense is equivalent to wearing an extra piece of leather armor or even armor, and their defense increases with the casting level, but these are temporary!

Spells with a constant effect are at least ten times more precious than temporary spells!

This is a hole card that can be passed on to children and grandchildren in any knight and warrior family, and this stranger did not hesitate to teach Joshua, does he have a problem with his brain?

Just then, she saw the stranger nod at his animal companion.

'Alas...... I'd better leave, it's rude......

Alley was inexplicably ashamed.

But then, through her animal companion, she took one last glimpse of the stranger.

It was at this glance that the other party in the field of vision seemed to have undergone some changes.

The scene around him became blurred, and the various colors inexplicably turned gray, as if they had lost all vitality, highlighting the brightly colored counterpart in the center.

Xu Changqing's black hair fluttered, and one by one it became thick and heavy, rippling in the void.

Beneath his skin, there seemed to be flesh and blood that was constantly gathering and wriggling.

Alley felt as if she had returned to the way she had been when she had been cultivating, when the druids were close to ancient nature.

It was as if she felt the eternal and ancient 'nature', which contained great truths that she could not reach no matter how hard she tried.

And in this state, under the robe of the stranger, a black and slippery tentacle stretched out, with an indescribable terror, swept towards her!

"Ahh

The screams of the druid maiden pierced the silence of the grove, and Alley simply fainted.
