Chapter 5 New Discoveries
Silently feeling himself, Wei Ziqing did not notice any obvious changes. Thinking back to the feeling when I absorbed the beast this afternoon, the feeling as if the cells in my body were moaning was so real.
"It seems that it takes more life essence to have an effect!" sighed lightly, Wei Ziqing rubbed his forehead a little helplessly. He muttered in his mouth: "All souls wash their bodies, ten thousand souls wash their bodies, what are all souls?"
Time slipped away quietly in Wei Ziqing's cranky thoughts, and Wei Ziqing fell asleep on the bed at some point.
The bright moon hung high, and the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion was as quiet as ever. I don't know when, there was an extra figure in Wei Ziqing's courtyard, with his back to the moonlight, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. However, looking at his upright posture, like a green pine, the first impression is that he is a man.
The man stood quietly outside Wei Ziqing's house, as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment, not giving people an abrupt feeling at all, as if he should have been there, just there.
For a long time, the man seemed to sigh softly, but it didn't. I saw him slowly turn around and look up at the bright moon in the sky. The soft moonlight sprinkled on the man's handsome and bewitching face, not as clear as the water chestnut horns of ordinary men, and there was no so-called masculinity. The soft lines give people a kind of feminine femininity, if it weren't for the flat chest, and the Adam's apple that represents a man, I'm afraid anyone would regard him as a peerless enchantment!
"After all, I was chosen" A fresh breeze blew in the yard at some point, and a soft sigh slowly drifted away in the wind, but the man was nowhere to be found.
Early the next morning, Wei Ziqing got up early as usual to practice boxing in the courtyard. After knowing that he could have the opportunity to step into the martial arts, Wei Ziqing became more aggressive, and the strength and speed of his punches were obviously much stronger than before.
"Ziqing, rest for a while. Xia Chan came to the courtyard at some point, saw Wei Ziqing practicing boxing, and spoke.
"Huh?" Wei Ziqing stopped when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw Xia Chan. I saw that today's Xia Chan was wearing a white palace dress, her hair was pulled up high, and some gold and silver jewelry was inserted; her delicate little face was slightly powdered, and she was gently pursing her red lips and looking at herself with a pair of autumn-like eyes. For a moment, Wei Ziqing was stunned.
Being stared at by Wei Ziqing, Xia Chan couldn't help but blush slightly. Biting his lip lightly, he gave him a blank look: "Look at what, come back to your senses!"
Wei Ziqing touched his nose in embarrassment, and found that his concentration was getting worse and worse. But Sister Xia Chan is really good-looking today
"Sister Xia Chan, find me something early in the morning. Wei Ziqing looked up at the sky, as if looking at what time it was.
"Today is the qualification test meeting of the three major families of Falling Wind City, and our City Lord's Mansion was invited to go, so my father asked me to come over and ask what you mean. Xia Chan was also very speechless about Wei Ziqing, the young city lord, and I was afraid that no one knew him when he walked on the street. And he never attends any events, and stays in his yard all day.
"Sister Xia Chan, I won't go, you can go. "Wei Ziqing is really not interested in those so-called activities. If you have that time, it would be better to hurry to the guest house and slaughter a few more fierce beasts.
Regarding Wei Ziqing's answer, Xia Chan had expected it a long time ago, but she was still a little disappointed. But he didn't say much, and bowed his head slightly.
The three major families of Falling Wind City have been rooted here for hundreds of years and have deep roots. Therefore, the grand event of the three major families is almost the grand event of the entire Falling Wind City. By the time Wei Ziqing slipped out of the City Lord's Mansion and planned to go to the Yingke Restaurant, the street was already bustling, and there was a discussion of the qualification test conference of the three major families everywhere.
Today's restaurant is quite deserted, Monroe Peacock. Wei Ziqing still entered through the back door, which was the road for the handymen in the restaurant to enter and exit.
"Hey, you're here, let me tell you, today the three major families are going to hold a qualification test conference, and they are going to hold a dinner party in the evening, and they have hired our welcome restaurant. The shopkeeper has already led the big guy to prepare first, and the butcher is not manpowered, so I am waiting for you. "As soon as I entered the door, that guy found Wei Ziqing yesterday. trotted over, pulled Wei Ziqing directly and walked out, talking about the situation in his mouth.
Ah, Sister Xia Chan and her father also went
Wei Ziqing was a little stunned for a while, and let the guy pull him out. The head was chaotic, and countless thoughts flashed one after another.
The venue for the conference is located in the main square in the center of the city, not far from the Welcome Restaurant. At this moment, it was already crowded with people, and the noise was overwhelming, and the people were in a roar! The guy pulled Wei Ziqing to avoid the crowd and walked to the back of the venue.
There is a large open space at the back of the square for the guys of the restaurant to prepare the ingredients, and several pergolas have already been erected on the open space. Twenty or thirty people were busy here and there, selecting materials, washing, calculating portions, all in all, everything about the dinner party.
"Shopkeeper, I brought the people. It's him, who came to apply yesterday. Although the technique is a little rusty, it can still be used if it is improvised. The guy pulled Wei Ziqing to a middle-aged fat man in a gorgeous brocade dress and recommended Wei Ziqing to him.
"Hmm. If it works, you can take him to the back yard to help. The shopkeeper stared hard at a pair of soybean-sized eyes, and looked Wei Ziqing up and down a few times. Then he stretched out his fleshy hand and pointed to a large courtyard on the edge of the clearing.
The slaughter of ferocious beasts must not be done here. There is a venue in front of it, and if you do it here, not to mention the wails of those fierce beasts before they die, even the strong smell of blood will spread out.
When I walked into the yard, I immediately smelled a fishy smell. It was a special strange smell mixed with the internal organs of the beast and the smell of blood, and it was terrible.
"Brother, that's it. Go in yourself, I'll go back and help." The guy covered his nose with one hand and fanned hard in front of him with the other, as if he wanted to fan away the strange smell. When he reached the door, he stopped and shouted inside: "Cripple, I brought it to you, you can look at the arrangement." I'll go back and help first. After saying that, he hurriedly ran back.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, isn't it just idle? There was a disdainful taunt in the courtyard, and a figure walked slowly towards the limp.
"Boy, are you the one who came to help?" The man was a burly man, probably in his thirties. He wore a coarse cloth vest on his upper body, and an unknown animal skin was randomly wrapped around his waist, which was covered with dark blood scale. "Don't be stunned, come in and help, today's work is heavy. "The voice is rough and looks quite bold.
"Oh, okay!" Wei Ziqing nodded, quite fond of this loud voice. At the same time, I thought to myself: "I shouldn't be able to touch Sister Xia Chan and them when I help in this back kitchen." ”
When I came to the courtyard, I saw five or six people busy cleaning up the beasts, and the speed was very fast. It didn't take long for a fierce beast to be cleaned up, much faster than Wei Ziqing.
"Let's get to work! Seeing Wei Ziqing's pestle there, the lame man couldn't help but scream, and his loud voice attracted the rest of the people to look at him.
"Ahh Wei Ziqing was thinking about the essence of life of the fierce beast in his heart, and he couldn't wait.
The cripple and Wei Ziqing slaughtered and bloodletted, and the rest of the people cleaned up, and the speed was also very fast. And Wei Ziqing is even more happy in his heart, although it takes about a cup of tea to smoke a fierce beast, but we don't necessarily have to finish it. The vitality of the fierce beast is relatively tenacious, and it will generally struggle for a while after bloodletting. Wei Ziqing took advantage of the time when the fierce beast was struggling, stepped forward and pretended to hold the fierce beast down, and secretly recited the spell to absorb the essence, but he could also absorb most of it. Later, Wei Ziqing simply let the cripple just bleed, while he helped hold it down. The two of them tried together, and the efficiency really improved. And Wei Ziqing couldn't be even more happy with each other, and in less than half a day's effort, he actually absorbed the life essence of about forty or fifty fierce beasts.
After absorbing so much life essence, Wei Ziqing finally noticed the changes in himself. I only felt that there was a thin warm current flowing all over my body, and my spirit was more sufficient, and my strength was significantly improved.
In this way, Wei Ziqing's motivation is even stronger. The wails of those fierce beasts seemed to be beautiful music, and the unpleasant smell seemed to disappear. You know, there are thousands of people attending the dinner today. There are at least a few hundred beasts, and at the rate of five or six of a stick of incense, they can almost be made at the beginning of the dinner. Thinking of the hundreds of fierce beasts, Wei Ziqing's breathing became short.
As Wei Ziqing continued to absorb the essence of life, gradually, Wei Ziqing discovered a problem. It is impossible for the hundreds of fierce beasts here to be all first-order, if that is the case, wouldn't that mean?
Yes, the Ten Thousand Souls Body Washing Method only marks that it can be absorbed only if it is one level higher than itself, not that it cannot be two levels higher, but three levels!
The more Wei Ziqing thought about it, the more excited he became, after all, there were 10,000 fierce beasts, how long would it take to kill. Some can't wait to verify it. But the problem is that Wei Ziqing really doesn't know many fierce beasts, and the deer and horses last time were still famous because of their delicious meat, so Wei Ziqing happened to know them.
"Brother Cripple, what kind of beasts are these?" asked shamelessly, Wei Ziqing felt that it made sense.
"These are just some low-level first-order little guys, one, two, and three. I remember that the highest level I had slaughtered was only level seven. The movements of the cripple's hand couldn't help but pause when he spoke of the seventh-level fierce beast, and there was some smugness in his eyes.
"Oh, isn't there a second-order fierce beast?" Wei Ziqing let go of an unknown fierce beast under his hand, came to the side of the fierce beast that the cripple had just slaughtered, and pressed the wound on his neck with one hand, and pressed the other hand on his stomach. The person next to him quickly pulled the beast that had stopped struggling away and dissected it.
"Second Order? That's equivalent to a Spirit Soldier Realm powerhouse! How difficult it is to capture it alive, adventurers usually sell the corpses they kill directly. The cripple dragged him out of the herd of beasts tied to him.
I see, it seems that my guess is correct, and I can really absorb the life essence of a fierce beast that is many levels higher than myself. I just don't know if I can reduce the number of needed.
