In the following days, Chen Li finally began to concentrate on cultivation.

The quiet room was turbulent, whistling, and occasionally accompanied by a bang.

It's like a firecracker going off.

The wind suddenly stopped.

Chen Li gasped and plunged his sword into the mud, a large amount of sweat sliding down his smooth and tight muscles like a stream.

The floor of the ashram was originally paved with a layer of stone slabs to prevent moisture, but these stone slabs were obviously not very durable, and under Chen Li's countless violent trampling, there is no trace of the stone slabs that have been paved now.

It completely turned into a pile of stone powder mixed with dirt, and the ground was unusually tamped.

Chen Li walked to the small table in the quiet room, picked up a clay pot, and poured a belly of salt to replenish the salt lost by his body.

He opened the game panel and took a look.

"Basic Swordsmanship: 781/800"

"It's not far from the advancement, it's only about ten days."

The speed of swordsmanship cultivation was extremely fast at the beginning, but the further you go, the higher the requirements for completion, almost harsh, and the progress has become slower and slower, and now you can have 3 points of progress every day.

can surprise Chen Li for a while.

Most of the time, two-point progress is the norm.

If you are not in good shape and your mind is restless, it is not uncommon to practice for a day and make only a little progress.

But fortunately, the skill of swordsmanship is quite special.

Even if skill progress stalls.

Just keep practicing.

The strength is still improving.

The strength continues to increase, and the body reacts faster and faster.

Chen Li had long felt that swordsmanship was not like skills such as spells, the core of the pursuit was not power, even if the strength was improved, the agility of the reaction was only a by-product of the cultivation process.

It seeks total control over the body.

Repeated polishing of the power technique, the integration of the whole body strength, is so.

Consciousness induction refines muscles, even more so.

"Next, it is estimated that the same is true!"

Chen Li picked up a piece of demon beast meat from the sea bowl and ate it in a big gulp.

He now has to eat five meals a day, one and a half catties of demon beast meat per meal, in addition, there are two Qi and Blood Pills a day, otherwise he can't make up for such a big consumption every day.

"I'm getting more and more like a rice bucket!" Chen Li sighed.

……

"Today, someone from a gang came to the door and informed us that we would pay the security fee, and our family needed to pay two lower grade spirit stones!"

At dinner in the evening, Zhou Hong said.

Chen Li was stunned and asked, "Is it so high, is it like this in every family?" ”

"Pay per capitation."

"I don't have a lot of money, just pay it, and I don't expect them to keep one side safe." Chen thought for a while and said.

With the appearance of the ancestor of the Yu family, these gangs have obviously become a lot more active.

Like before, there was no 'security fee' here.

……

Chen Li had dinner, thought about it and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, someone outside was scolding and scolding on the street, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

"God damn it, it's really eating people without spitting out bones, and giving birth to a child without an asshole. One person and one lower grade spirit stone, why don't you grab it, in the past, whether it was the Immortal Sect or the artifact gate, it was not so high! ”

"Be quiet, you won't be afraid that the Heavenly Fortune Gang will retaliate against your family."

"What are the old ladies afraid of, if their helper dares to be here, I will scratch his face on the spot and slap him in the mouth, do you believe it or not?" A middle-aged female cultivator said with a spicy face: "Where is this asking for money, this is asking for my life!" ”

"Alas, the way of the world...... Bear with me, it's over, it's not the same as before. One person kindly persuaded: "Now some people have more fierce hearts than demon beasts." ”

Chen Li stopped, silent in his heart.

One or two lower-grade spirit stones, for him, it was not enough to even buy a Qi Replenishing Pill.

But for the low-level casual cultivators who can only barely make ends meet now, they can get their lives.

At the current market prices.

A low-grade spirit stone can buy ten big fish of more than ten catties, fifty catties of ordinary meat, if you save a little frugality, you can even last for two or three months, and the purchasing power is not low at all.

If you had changed before, you would have collected security fees here and moved elsewhere.

There is not much difference between shantytowns, there are many vacant houses, and many casual repairers who live alone die outside, and the houses are directly vacant.

But now every house has dug holes.

How can you find such a house in a short time?

"This damn, what are you talking about all day long!" A middle-aged man with a weathered face ran out, looked up deeply with a deep look of sorrow, dragged her home, and reprimanded:

"It seems that you can, I'm not dying fast enough, right, there are many people, don't talk about it, I'll find a way to find a way to Lingshi!"

"Think of a way, think of a way? What else can you think of to sell the artifact at a low price? ”

"Don't worry, don't sell, you can always think of a way, go back and talk about it!"

The two of them drifted apart, their voices getting quieter and quieter.

……

Early the next morning, several people from the Tianyun Gang went door-to-door to collect spirit stones.

After Chen Li paid the money, he was not in a hurry to return.

He sat on the rock in the doorway.

Watch these people collect money, family by family.

Although reluctant, due to the gang's obscenity, every family in the neighborhood still paid honestly.

When it was the turn of the middle-aged nun's family yesterday.

It was her man who came out.

He smiled and took out two lower-grade spirit stones, and also paid the money.

But Chen Li keenly noticed that there was an extra bloody wound on the other party's face, which was not available yesterday, and in addition, there was a trace of ruthlessness that was not available yesterday.

He re-stuffed the two lower-grade spirit stones he was playing with in his hand into his sleeve pocket.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Stand up.

seemed to be aware of Chen Li's gaze.

The middle-aged man smiled at Chen Li and gestured to him.

The smile is still honest and honest, and the deep forehead tattoo has a sad color.

Just like yesterday!

……

It seems to be on the verge of qualitative change.

The contours of the muscles in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the skin layer, fat layer, muscle layer, and even the large and small dense blood vessels that ran through it became vivid.

Even this mapping begins to spread like a viscera.

Like an infection, it spreads little by little, looming and vague.

A few more days passed.

This mapping has spread to most of the internal organs, and it is still ongoing, looming and becoming stable, and blurring into clarity......

The advancement of swordsmanship seems silent and unwavering.

It's a matter of course.

Chen Li came out of his wonderful state, opened his eyes, and exhaled.

This breath was incomparably smooth, as if the lungs were actively cooperating with the breath, exhaling all the turbid qi in the body in one go.

At this point, he felt a cough in his throat.

Some itching.

Chen Li coughed vigorously.

Suddenly, a thick black and sticky phlegm spat out of his mouth.

"It's ...... Is the dirty dust accumulated in the lungs automatically expelled by the lungs? Chen Li was a little surprised at first, and then thoughtful in his heart.
