Chapter Forty-Nine: Winter is Coming

At night.

Chen Li uncorked the bottle, poured out a Qi and Blood Pill, and swallowed it with water.

Soon there was a feeling of heat in the abdomen, and then the heat sensation became stronger and stronger, and gradually spread all over the body, and the whole body became red.

"Whew!"

He let out a long breath of white air.

Although the Qi and Blood Pill had only been taken for a few days, he clearly felt that his body's strength was accelerating, and it was many times better than the effect of demon beast meat.

The only downside is probably that it's expensive.

The price of a Blood Qi Pill is the same as that of a Qi Replenishing Pill.

He takes 1 capsule a day.

Plus 2 Qi Replenishing Pills per day.

The cost of the pill alone alone is 4.5 low-grade spirit stones.

This is not counting the share of the elixir he gave to Zhou Hong, if it is counted, it is 7.5 lower-grade spirit stones per day.

In fact, the cost of one hundred and fifty spirit stones per month that Zhou Hong said during the day was completely underestimating the current price, and he thought that the Qi Replenishing Pill was still a spirit stone, but he didn't know that it had risen by fifty percent.

However, it is really no problem to hold on for half a year.

There are also fifty-four bottles of Qi Replenishing Pill and ten bottles of Qi and Blood Pill at home, which alone can be used for three or four months without having to buy pills, plus the seven spirit stones on hand, as well as the income from his usual talismans.

It's more than enough to last for half a year.

As for half a year later, he has already entered the fifth layer of Qi training, and there is a high probability that the 'Light Body Talisman' has also been learned...... At that time, the income was not what it used to be.

Feeling that the qi and blood in his body were already boiling, Chen Li got up and picked up the sword and began to temper his body.

Since the basic swordsmanship has entered the expert level, the improvement of swordsmanship proficiency has become more and more difficult, the requirements are becoming more and more stringent, and the failure rate is extremely high.

However, the proficiency of the exercises does not affect the improvement of the body in the slightest.

"Smack!"

Chen Li's whole body strength runs through, and the muscles of his whole body are like gears that closely bite and coordinate with each other, mobilizing most of the muscles of his body, glaring angrily, and stabbing out a sword.

There was a crunch in the air.

A small insect a few inches away from the tip of the sword was hit by a turbulent air current, blowing away without a trace.

"It seems that the speed of sound is not far off!" He thought to himself.

He then continued to practice his sword with his head covered.

……

Early the next morning, the sky was still bright, and before Zhou Hong got up, Chen Li went straight to the wilderness.

All the way to no man's land, before stopping.

He looked around, and saw that there was no figure as far as he could see. He took out the flying sword from his waist and shook it casually.

Still in mid-air, the flying sword quickly enlarged, turning into a two-meter-long giant sword, and finally suspended at a distance of one foot from the ground.

These days have been busy, Chen Li has been pressing for a few days, and today he finally can't hold it anymore.

Chen Li's heart beat faster, he took a deep breath, stepped forward and stretched out a foot, stepped on it tentatively first, and before he could use much force, the flying sword sank violently.

"The levitation power is completely insufficient...... It is estimated that the output of spiritual power will be increased! Chen Li muttered to himself.

Sure enough, with the input of a large amount of spiritual power, the power that the flying sword could withstand quickly became stronger, and he stepped on it hard, feeling that the strength was almost there, he stepped on it lightly, and his feet were all off the ground.

The flying sword sank slightly, and then slowly stabilized.

"Then next, it should be flying."

As Chen Zhi's head moved, the flying sword finally moved slowly.

"Accelerate!"

With the frantic input of Chen Li's spiritual power, the speed of the flying sword began to increase little by little, from squirming like a snail, and finally increased to ...... Ordinary people walk slowly.

But he didn't care at all.

What do you want speed?

This is flying, what kind of bicycle do you need?

He began to make the flying sword rise slowly.

One meter, two meters...... Five-meter ......

After about ten meters, he stopped rising, and no matter how high he was, he felt a little dizzy, and it was too dangerous.

And ten meters, he felt that even if he fell, it should only be a minor injury.

It's just that this sword flight is really a bit too consuming of spiritual power, and in less than a minute, only one-third of his spiritual power is consumed.

He quickly landed and jumped down.

His feet were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.

"It's a little exciting, but it's really cool." Chen Li was still excited: "It's just that my current cultivation is still a little low, and I can't last too long!" ”

……

Since moving to a new home, Chen Li has stayed away from conflict and has lived a peaceful life.

Practice every day, and occasionally go to the uninhabited wilderness to fly around.

Although when he went to Fang City, he would meet some of his original neighbors from time to time, but at most he would talk a few words and greet him for a while, and everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about his new residence.

In winter, the weather gets colder and colder day by day.

More and more people went to the forest to cut firewood, and under Zhou Hong's reminder, Chen Li also prepared a large amount of firewood, almost filling the kitchen, and purchased enough food in advance to eat for two or three months.

But he still doesn't have an intuitive understanding of the cold winter here.

Lead-gray clouds covered the sky for more than ten days, until I opened the door early one morning to find that there was heavy snow outside, and the ground was covered in silver.

As a southerner, he had never seen such a heavy snow, and the novelty was endless, but by noon, the novelty was gone, and the snow outside was knee-high, but the snow still didn't stop.

……

In the kitchen, the stove was burning, the soup in the pot was gradually rising and rolling, and bursts of mist were rising, Zhou Hong added firewood, and her face was red from the warm flame.

"I don't know how many people will die this winter!" Zhou Hong said while chatting.

Chen Li was silent when he heard this.

There are many shanty towns, which are desolate and scattered.

Some people's cultivation is pitiful, and coupled with their physical decay, they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

Perhaps when they first came here, they were still full of ambition and dreamed of success, but the reality ruthlessly shattered their dreams, and these people became numb and depraved day by day, but they still couldn't get going.

And this year's living environment is obviously worse than in previous years.

The snowstorm lasted for three days before it stopped.

At this moment, the heavy snow outside has reached Chen Li's waist, and even the door door is blocked, and several unknown birds are jumping in the snow, seeing Chen Li pushing the door out hard, and flying without a trace.

A bitter chill hit his face, and even he couldn't help but shiver.

"This damn snow!" He rubbed his hands together and cursed.

Turning back to the house, he picked out a larger log from the firewood pile in the kitchen, cut it into a shovel with a flying sword, cleared a road in the yard, and then removed the snow from the roof, and as for clearing the street outside, think about it.

He put his shovel in the doorway and looked at the white world in front of him.

"This winter, it seems that a lot of people are really going to freeze to death!"
