Chapter 17 Green Cow
Xin Yan went into the secret room and studied the "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" given by the sect. Although the exercise tips of "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" are not long, they are extremely mysterious and difficult to understand, and it took Xin Yan half a day to understand this exercise word by word.
"Could it be that this meditation recipe is really a high-end product?"
To his surprise, the exercise route of "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" is very simple and clear, and the practice method is not as ferocious and violent as ordinary meditation exercises, and even seems to be a little "neutral and peaceful".
This made Xin Yan breathe a sigh of relief, he was worried that his body was too weak to bear the pain of cultivation, but when he fully understood the method of cultivation, all his worries disappeared.
However, for the sake of prudence, after repeated scrutiny, he was convinced that he was familiar with the operation of the exercises, and then he began to cultivate.
Xin Yan stood in the courtyard almost naked, standing with his feet apart, palms facing the sky, closing his eyes and concentrating, running the jade alchemy body, and gradually he sensed a trace of extremely weak earth qi.
Xin Yan ran the exercises with all his might, inhaling the earth qi into the spring points on the soles of his feet.
The earth qi was extremely violent, although the earth qi he pumped out was only a trace of incomparably subtle, but when they drilled into his body, they still violently tore Xin Yan's fragile meridians, destroying his body, and his whole body was in tearing pain, and at the same time, his soul was also suffering from great pain, and the torn pain tormented his fragile nerves, endlessly.
"Ahh At this moment, the jade plate in his sea of consciousness emitted a burst of soft green light, moistening his damaged tendons and veins, protecting his heart.
Xin Yan came to his senses in an instant, he endured the severe pain, tried his best to keep his mind, and controlled the extremely violent earth qi according to the requirements of the operation of the exercises, running through the meridians to all parts of the body, entering the five internal organs and four remains, and finally scattered into every trace of flesh and blood.
Slowly, his whole body emitted a faint dark golden light.
But the exercise is only half run, and it is only when the earth qi in the flesh and bones is withdrawn back to the dantian that it is completed.
Xin Yan took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and began to reverse the jade alchemy body, a suction force suddenly appeared in his body, and the earth qi that had just penetrated into his body was like a school of fish attracted by bait, seeping out from every trace of flesh and muscle in his body. This suction force was extremely powerful, regardless of his body's instinctive resistance to the departure of the earth qi, the earth qi continued to converge towards the suction force and returned to his dantian.
There was a painful look in his eyes, every muscle in his body trembled, and even his soul trembled in pain.
He only felt that his whole body was like a pinprick in the needle, and every piece of flesh and bone was aching. This process only lasted half an hour, but he felt that half a century had passed.
The whole process is a kind of torture that ordinary people can't bear!
Finally, after an hour, all the earth qi scattered throughout his body returned to his dantian, and the exercises were completed.
"Your sister-in-law, who created this brain-dead exercise. Where is this practice, it is clearly fatal!" Xin Yan couldn't stop wailing in his heart.
If it weren't for his firm will just now, and with the help of Nirvana, he would have gone mad and fallen into a state of no return.
Only then did he know that behind the "peace and tranquility" of "Jade Alchemy Body", there was such an unpredictable danger hidden.
Compared with the current popular meditation exercises, "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" is more dangerous, more radical and violent, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a fiery and fall into a state of no return.
However, Xin Yan still decided to continue cultivating. Because he knew very well that without changing his weak constitution, he would hardly be able to survive the long and difficult journey.
For more than 20 days in a row, Xin Yan closed his door, worked hard to cultivate, and refined all kinds of talismans in his spare time to prepare for the journey that was about to begin.
After these days of cultivation, his spiritual power cultivation has improved a lot, and he has entered the twelfth layer of qi cultivation a few days ago, if he goes further, he can build a foundation.
The "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" exercise has also begun to have a small success, although he still looks so thin, but in fact, he himself knows that he has changed his previous weakness, and his gestures are full of strength.
However, Xin Yan was not blindly happy because of this, but was faintly worried.
The biggest problem with "Jade Alchemy Golden Body" is that the cultivation is too fast, at least several times faster than ordinary meditation exercises, which means that he has to practice for a year, and others have to practice for several years.
But cultivation is the same as farming and doing business, the higher the profit, the greater the risk.
On this day, Xin Yan cleaned up a little and walked to the Fang Market at the foot of the Sect Mountain.
He was going to Shuinan Lingyuan, which was 100,000 miles away, and there were many poor mountains and bad rivers along the way, inaccessible places, and it was extremely inconvenient to buy goods, so he couldn't help but be prepared.
Xin Yan decided to go to Aoki Merchant first, and before he could enter the door, a man greeted him and led him into the secret room in the inner room with great enthusiasm.
"Xin Shaoxia, wait a minute! The shopkeeper will come over in a while. ”
Xin Yan is now a distinguished guest of Aoki Trading Company, and the guys don't dare to snub him at all.
After a while, the shopkeeper opened the curtain and entered, and as soon as they met, he sighed slightly and said, "We have also heard about Xin Shaoxia." But after all, this is a matter for your Lingxiao Sect, and there is nothing we can do about it. But if Shaoxia needs help, as long as he can, I will never stand idly by. ”
Xin Yan said: "Shopkeeper Hu is polite. I came this time to ask for the help of Shopkeeper Hu, and I want to buy a Tsukidan in your firm. ”
Shopkeeper Hu pondered slightly, and said: "Okay! Originally, the sale of pills like Zhuji Dan required approval from above, but in order to make a friend of Shaoxia, my surname Hu was released." ”
"Xie Hu shopkeeper!" Xin Yan solemnly saluted to Hu shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Hu thought about it again, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Xin Yan, and said: "My sister is in the Shuinan branch of my Aoki firm, and the young man is going to Shuinan, if you have any difficulties, you can go to her." ”
Xin Yan got up again and saluted the shopkeeper Hu and said, "Thank you shopkeeper Hu! If I, Xin Yan, can get ahead in the future, I will not dare to forget the kindness of the shopkeeper." ”
Coming out of the Aoki Trading House, Xin Yan went to Fang City again, and as in the past, he directly found Hou San.
Xin Yan didn't talk nonsense, and handed him the list of items to be purchased: "Can you help me see how many spirit stones are needed for these?"
Hou San looked at the jade slip handed over by Xin Yan, and couldn't help frowning, the things that Xin Yan wanted to buy were very miscellaneous, but most of them were common on the market, and they were not difficult to find, he said to Xin Yan: "You go and get busy, I will definitely be able to find it for you before the middle of the day." ”
Xin Yan nodded and said, "Okay." You help me prepare first, I'll go around the Spirit Beast Bazaar and come back to you. Bidding farewell to Hou San, Xin Yan walked towards the Spirit Animal Market. He was going to Shuinan, the road was far away, and he wanted to find a horse to ride.
As soon as he reached the bazaar, he found a large crowd of people gathered around to watch the excitement.
In the center of the crowd, a cultivator was beating a green ox, and he scolded as he beat it: "Fuck your ancestor, Lao Tzu spent a lot of money to buy you, you are good, just don't do any work, and you will cause trouble for me, see if I don't kill you." ”
The green ox was scarred and very pitiful, but it still raised its head angrily, and wanted to hit the cultivator with the top of its horns, but it was locked by the black iron chain and couldn't break free.
This angered the cultivator even more, and he flicked his whip desperately and whipped it towards the green bull, leaving a trail of blood on the green bull's body with each stroke. Qingniu still refused to give in, his eyes were red, and he stared at the cultivator, and let out a low roar from time to time.
"Alas, with such a green cow on the stall, Feng Laosan can be regarded as having fallen blood mold!" sighed an old man in the crowd.
Xin Yan was interested, and he asked the old man, "May I ask what is going on?"
Seeing Xin Yan's sincere attitude, the old man told the whole story. It turned out that Feng Laosan spent a lot of money to buy a green cow, who knows how to train it, this guy just refused to pull the cart and didn't let people ride, and two days ago, he also seriously injured the animal trainer. Feng Laosan really had no choice but to send it to the slaughterhouse.
The green ox is a mounted spirit animal, the warmer the temper, the better, so that it is good to make a royal envoy, all the grumpy, can not be sent to the slaughterhouse by the owner of the green bull can not escape the fate of being sent to the slaughterhouse.
Looking at the green cow that was about to be sent to the slaughterhouse, Xin Yan suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. He went to Shuinan here, and it sounded good to go there to take over the Lingyuan, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that his trip to Shuinan Lingyuan is simply unlucky.
"Buy this cow!" a thought suddenly occurred to him.
Xin Yan thought about it for a while and felt that this idea was feasible. This green cow has a strong physique and extraordinary appearance, and if it makes a good fuss, it may be able to rise to the third grade. As for the temper, it's not a big deal, just be patient.
The most important thing is that he had just spent more than 800 top-grade spirit stones to buy a Zhuji Dan, and there were less than 400 top-grade spirit stones left on his body, and after the expenses required on the road, there were not many spirit stones left in him.
And a green cow also needs at least two or three hundred high-grade spirit stones, and he can't afford it at all.
He blinked, and soon had an idea. He didn't rush up to buy cattle, but followed Feng Laosan and walked towards the slaughterhouse.
Feng Laosan looked at the beaten and scarred Qingniu, and regretted it in his heart, he just cared about venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, and beat the Qingniu too hard. It's not that he feels sorry for the green cow, but he feels sorry that the skin of the green cow has been damaged, and its value will shrink significantly.
Green cowhide is a good material for making war drums, and for slaughterhouses, the quality of green cowhide is the only criterion to measure its value. Now the green cow has been beaten all over its body, and the skin is no longer usable. He was so angry that he waved his whip and wanted to smoke the green ox to vent his anger.
Xin Yan seized this opportunity, stepped forward, and bowed, "This big brother, may I ask how the road to the slaughterhouse goes." ”
Feng Laosan asked angrily, "What are you doing in the slaughterhouse?"
Xin Yan replied: "Shizun asked me to go to the slaughterhouse to buy a yellow horse with a strong temperament and feed it to the golden retriever!"
"Then you might as well buy this green cow!" Feng Laosan's eyes flashed.
Xin Yan pretended to hesitate and whispered: "This green cow has been injured like this, I'm afraid it won't be used!"
Feng Laosan laughed and said, "Little brother, I don't understand! The reason why this green cow was beaten like this by me is all because it is too fierce and does not obey discipline. Don't look at it hurt like this, as long as the chain is loosened, ordinary Qi cultivators can't control it at all. If you want, I can sell it to you cheaper. ”
Xin Yan thought for a while and asked, "How many spirit stones are you willing to sell?"
Feng Laosan said: "Four hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
Xin Yan said categorically: "At most, two hundred and fifty pieces, you can sell them if you want to, and pull them down if you don't want to sell them." ”
"You're too ruthless, aren't you? I used more than nine hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy this green cow!" Feng Laosan pursed his lips.
"Don't go that far. If it's a man, be happy, sell it or not!" Xin Yan was not moved at all.
Feng Laosan looked at the green cow with bruises all over his body, knowing that the green cow was like this, it would be good to be able to sell more than two hundred high-grade spirit stones when sent to the slaughterhouse, he gritted his teeth, and finally nodded: "Deal!"
Feng Laosan grabbed the spirit stone, handed the reins to Xin Yan's hand, turned around and left.
Xin Yan looked at his distant back, let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly said that he was lucky.
