Section XXXVI

Li Yuntao would not let Chen Daniu's stupid behavior continue after all, and persuaded him to give up the idea of self-harm by finding a reason casually.

Although Li Yuntao is also very curious about whether the Yin and Yang people practicing swords are really as powerful as in the novel, but there will be a chance to see the eunuchs in the palace in the future, anyway, there are a lot of empires in this world.

After listening to Guo Huchen's adventures during his travels at night, and learning a few effective ways to deal with powerful ghosts, he received two sets of Edgeworth Sect apprentice clothes to replace the tattered old clothes, and the night was spent peacefully in a tired sleep.

Until he went to bed, pinching the muslin lining on his body, Li Yuntao still felt as if he was in a sweet dream, and the life he dreamed of really fell on him, which seemed a little unreal.

The next day, Li Yuntao woke up at the greeting of Chen Daniu, the bright sky was just a little white, the mountains and forests were filled with a thin morning mist, and several buildings dotted in the palace of the Imperial Sword Gate turned the woodland into a hazy fairyland.

Although it is early summer, the mountains and forests in the morning are still a little cold, and the air is moist and cool, and only one puff is refreshing. After a hasty wash, Li Yuntao joined the children's busyness.

Today's assignment to Li Yuntao was to carry water with Chen Daniu, first pouring out the remaining water in the large water tank used by the three people for the kitchen and canteen, and then carrying the wooden bucket with a flat pole to the canal on the other side of Lingtian, four miles away, to fetch water and fill it.

It's the pool where the children bathed yesterday.

Of course, you won't use the water from the pond that the children have bathed in, but the canal above the pond communicates with the mountain spring, which is clear and sweet, and is a good choice for cooking and making tea.

It is several times better than the slightly bitter well water that Li Yuntao is used to.

It took two trips back and forth with Chen Da Niu to fill one water tank, and when the three water tanks were filled, the sun had already peeked out from the woods of the hills surrounding the Imperial Sword Gate, and the pale golden sunlight sprinkled on the broad leaves of the maple trees, gilding them into pieces of gold leaves.

The morning mist gradually dissipated under the drive of the sun, and the mountain forest where the Edgeworth Gate was located became clear again, and fell back to the human world.

Finishing chores is just a warm-up activity for children's morning exercises.

After breakfast, led by Chen Daniu, the junior began to practice swordsmanship, because there was no master to supervise and assign homework, the children preferred to catch and fight each other, after all, it was just boring to swing the sword is too boring.

This time, there were eight people, and finally someone no longer had a bye, and the children played the game of promotion, two by two, the winner to win, the loser to lose, to determine who is today's champion.

He Xunyi was like an ordinary old man who got up early and had nothing to do, happily squatting on the wooden stake next to him and watching.

For this kind of game, the little characters of the Edgeworth Gate can be described as enthusiastic, because there are still fights if they lose, and they don't have to wait by the side with the sword, and the fight is even more energetic.

But Li Yuntao also saw the problems of the children, although they practiced hard, such as Chen Daniu, a few children who entered the door earlier, the basic sword posture can almost be regarded as carved into the bones, but few can use sword moves, and the fight comes and goes, that is, the upper, middle and lower sword postures.

When it comes to sword moves, he is the one who is erudite, and he uses a few sword skills, and he takes a lot of advantage. But he also discovered his own shortcomings, although he had the advantage of crushing the version in technology, but the children were faster and more powerful, and often used what they thought was a subtle sword move, which only brought them some trouble, but could not win with it.

Sure enough, the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, and sword skills can only make up for the gap in their basic training, but they cannot become the key to determining victory or defeat.

The morning sparring ended with Chen Daniu's victory, and Li Yuntao took advantage of his age and skill to barely take third.

The second place is Ye Lin, a girl of the same age as herself.

After the first battle, the distance between him and his friends was shortened again, and the little ones were quite curious and envious of the swordsmanship skills he used, and they all asked for advice, he naturally had no reason to hide it, and generously shared some of the swordsmanship moves that his father taught him with his new friends.

As for the experience, Li Yuntao used a sniper crossbow to participate in the battle before, so naturally there is nothing to share.

He Xunyi never opened his mouth to criticize from beginning to end, nor did he stop Li Yuntao from sharing sword moves with his partners, just smoking the dry tobacco in the old cigarette stick without a mouthful, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

The bell rang, and the morning class was the forging of Professor Chen Zhen. Everyone came to a separate stone house a little further away from the townhouse, and Li Yuntao had seen the layout inside, until this was the most ordinary blacksmith shop.

Today's content is because Li Yuntao is new to the arrival, Chen Zhen has a new talk about mineral identification, several of the most common mortal minerals Li Yuntao is naturally very familiar with, during the time when he made his own sniper crossbow, he ran to the blacksmith shop in Xiaoji Town every day, and he even knew some basic processing methods.

But what Chen Zhen talked about is naturally not so simple, gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, lead, mercury, even if it is refined from mortal iron, it is only the most basic material in his place, in addition, he also introduced star gold, flowing flame sand, mythril, pure gold, star bamboo, vajra wood, frost crystal, star silver, all things earth, living gold and other common minerals and materials for forging by cultivators.

It also briefly describes some extraordinary materials that can be encountered but not sought, such as the thunder bamboo that grows on the mysterious island in the eye of the storm in the ocean, and the thunderbolt thunder crystal evolved from minerals that are erupted by volcanoes and struck by thunder all year round, both of which are actually transcendent things that have the potential to be cultivated into spirits after reaching a certain age.

Another example is the scales of various systems of divine dragons, as divine beasts, their scales are naturally rare fried rice materials, but the natural metamorphosis of divine dragons often takes hundreds of years to make more than a dozen pieces, and they will put away their own refining treasures.

Only those who went to dig the dragon tomb for the sake of materials, so far I have never heard of a good end.

Speaking of materials, there are too many things that can be said, until the end of class at ten o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhen has not finished talking about the materials related to dragons, there are too many descendants of the Shenlong family, and the materials produced by the dragon seed grandchildren of many wurms are too complex, and each has its own wonderful use, and it is not good if you don't explain it carefully. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

At the end of the class, Li Yuntao only felt that he was still unsatisfied, but he really opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to know more after listening to some of them.

Until noon meditation, he was still thinking about the various materials on the wurm monster, and even in the inner world of meditation, there were several rivers that he had cultivated into the shape of a dragon.

As a result, the afternoon physical training class made him recognize the reality well, not to mention challenging the descendants of the dragon to obtain materials, he can't even pass the pile work now.

Standing piles is only one of the most advanced pile skills, exercising footwork on various wooden piles, moving and jumping, such as Chen Daniu, a few who have advanced to the qi and blood realm, but also bring weights, dodge the swinging mallet that will come at any time, and Guo Huchen's ruthless stick, if you can't dodge, you will be beaten, leaving bruises on your skin one after another.

Li Yuntao naturally doesn't need to practice the stake to dodge, he only needs to exercise the pace of the body on the plum blossom pile, but because he has already opened his heart, the weight must be added.

After he jumped off the stake and put down the weight, sat on the ground to rest, the breath in his chest suddenly dispersed, and then he fell to the ground and couldn't lift his legs.

And Chen Daniu, Huang Xuemei, Xiao Lingfeng, and Cheng Wuwu didn't even have the strength to laugh except humming.

Guo Huchen and several other elders came up, carried one by one, dragged them into the kitchen on the side of the townhouse, stripped them naked and threw them directly into a large wooden barrel filled with green liquid, and a fire was lit under the barrel to constantly heat the liquid.

I didn't feel anything when I threw it into the barrel, and I didn't have the strength to resist anyway, so I just let myself soak in the liquid.

After a while, there was a burning sensation all over my body, as if this was not a medicinal bath, but a pot of broth to stew myself and the herbs.

You can feel the liquid with your hands, but the temperature is only slightly warmer than the normal bath water.

"Concentrate on meditation and meditation, while the power of the medicine has not yet made you lose consciousness in pain, and the effect of active absorption is the best when you enter meditation." Liu Qingxue cut the beast meat on the side, and the kitchen knife that seemed to be the size of a small table was chopped down fiercely, and with a bang, a beast leg with meat and bones was split in half. "If you faint, you can only passively absorb it naturally, and you waste a medicinal bath."

Jing Xing lit a plate of sandalwood on the side and placed it next to the five people with a small incense burner.

Looking at the scene of blood and flesh splashing on the board, smelling the smell of blood and medicinal liquid in the air, the five of them shivered in unison, quickly closed their eyes and meditated cross-legged in the barrel.

Because of the medicinal liquid, the burning pain from the skin on the surface of the body became more and more intense, Li Yuntao gritted his teeth and lied to himself that it was not he who was hurting, the pain was all hallucinations, all hallucinations, all hallucinations, and sandalwood helped to calm the mind, so he finally gradually entered the inner world of meditation after a quarter of an hour.

When I came to the inner world, what I saw was the same as when I meditated at noon, and I didn't find any new changes, but since the elders said that they should take the initiative to absorb the medicinal power, maybe they need to attract the aura of heaven and earth into the body as usual.

So Li Yuntao mobilized the 'Spirit Lake' and the 'Sun' to start rotating, and soon the two whirlpools with huge suction power took shape in the inner world, and the invisible attraction surrendered to the void outside the sky, and the slightest spiritual rain soon became the scale of the medium rain that Li Yuntao was familiar with.

Only this time, he found that among these raindrops, there was a trace of green brilliance, and they landed on the earth with the spiritual rain, and the water formed by the spiritual rain quickly collected into the various streams and valleys, flowed into the river and finally joined the spiritual lake.

The green brilliance blends directly into the earth and disappears without a trace. However, this time, Li Yuntao could clearly feel that the speed at which the earth was adding vitality became much faster, and the land that could not be irrigated by the rivers and streams was originally full of vitality even if there were no plant roots and stems underground, and clumps of grass soon covered the mountains and rivers of the inner world, and nothing was missed.

At this time, Li Yuntao felt that there was a latent blazing flame burning underground, and with the infiltration of spiritual rain, this flame became more and more vigorous.

The fire burns the roots of trees and plants into the ground as fuel, turning the ground into a hot molten slurry that spreads, grows, and accumulates strength in the invisible depths of the earth.

Several major rivers in the inner world pass through the handsome peaks at the foot of the mountain, and as the power of the earthfire increases, they begin to shake, and the rocks at the top of the peaks crack into countless crevices, and crimson flows out of the crevices.

Rumble~!

Between heaven and earth shrouded in spiritual energy, a blazing heat came out of the sky, and the peak of this mountain peak was swept away by earth fire, and rocks flew sideways, and lava splashed down. The vegetation surrounding the mountain peaks was ignited by molten slurry and burned into handfuls of ash, while the aura rain was still watering the earth on a moderate scale.

At the foot of the mountain, near the ashes of the river, new life soon grew.

However, the molten lava continued to wash away the entire mountain, and the new life was once again reduced to ashes.

After repeating this process several times, the newly born vegetation life was no longer afraid of molten burning, and actually shimmered with a trace of crystal luster, just like the several extraordinary materials displayed by Chen Zhen that Li Yuntao had seen in the forging class.

Underground, the scope of the ground fire is still expanding, the range of burning the underground roots of plants is getting wider and wider, and the lava gradually forms a new network of rivers underground, which belongs to the network of molten lava.

Li Yuntao didn't know what was going on here, he finally saw the first circulatory system in his body that he had not been able to find, the circulatory system that his body originally had, blood.

If the qi veins are the energy transmission system formed by the meridians after cultivation, then the blood system is the original natural energy transmission network of the human body.

Just because it has been with itself since birth, it has been regarded as a part of itself by its own consciousness, which also leads to it being easily ignored by the subconscious, and in the inner world formed by consciousness, it is also hidden deep underground.

Actually, it's always there.

This time, Li Yuntao felt its presence, and he also grasped its control.

Inside the peak, the blazing heart flame deep underground began to swirl, and the molten lava formed a third vortex within him.

The upper, middle and lower dantian vortex was formed, and a strange resonance was born in Li Yuntao's body. Li Yuntao, who was sitting in the barrel, gradually formed a whirlpool invisible to the naked eye, and the surrounding heaven and earth aura was attracted by the whirlpool he generated, as if the place where he was sitting had become a hole in the aura of heaven and earth, and the endless aura of heaven and earth poured in here in order to fill this loophole.

The liquid in the barrel also began to spin, even if it was slow, but it was already visible to the naked eye. The green fluorescence in the elixir gradually dimmed, and the green in the potion also faded, and after less than an hour, the liquid medicine in the wooden barrel was already as light as clear water, and through the water body soaking him, he could see a layer of dull and dry medicine residue at the bottom of the barrel.

"Huh? Do you ever feel that the aura around you seems to be getting weird? Liu Qingxue, who was sitting next to Huang Xuemei's medicine barrel, was the first to notice the movement of the aura.

"Indeed, it seems that the aura here is becoming stronger, and this feeling is close to the concentration of aura that I felt when I practiced on the spiritual vein spiritual eye." Zhou Shoumo, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, nodded, stood up, and checked Xiao Lingfeng, who was guarding him.

Xiao Lingfeng was normal, and despite the painful appearance of gritting his teeth, he remained in a meditative state.

Guo Huchen also stood up and checked Chen Daniu, and did not find anything abnormal, Chen Daniu has experienced many medicinal baths, and his performance at this time is naturally much better than Xiao Lingfeng, who received medicinal bath cultivation for the first time, at least on the surface, except for the facial features slightly squeezed together, everything else is similar to normal meditation.

It was Chen Zhen who was in charge of guarding Li Yuntao, he sniffed the smell, opened his eyes and stood up, came to the wooden barrel where Li Yuntao was soaked, scooped up a handful of medicinal liquid, the translucent light green potion leaked from between his fingers, licked some with his tongue and tasted it, and he couldn't feel any medicinal power.

"He's already absorbed the power of a medicinal bath!"

"Is this true?" Zhou Shoumo's eyes widened in shock, and Liu Qingxue stepped over directly and made some attempts.

Goo-goo-goo

Bubbles bubbles flipped up in the constantly heated medicine barrel, and the potion was so transparent that you could see the slag at the bottom of the barrel that had been turned up by the bubbles.

"This kid is really good. Originally, I thought that he lit the Lingtai Pure Fire in such a short period of time because his innate spiritual power was different from ordinary people, and he had a little more luck, coupled with the pressure caused by the battle with the Demon Beast, but he didn't expect his own talent to be so amazing. Zhou Shoumo walked over, stirred the potion in the bucket with his hand, felt the slight rotation of water in the bucket, but didn't care for a while.

"But I've checked, not to mention the spirit lines on his body, he doesn't even have a birthmark, and he is as clean as an ordinary person." Chen Zhen recalled that he was the one who stripped Li Yuntao naked, so he naturally checked whether he had any birthmarks or spirit lines on his body.

"The last time I used up a medicinal power in the first medicinal bath, it was still Su Hong's girl, I remember that she had a spiritual pattern on her body, but I didn't hear that she had awakened any magical powers." Liu Qing Snow Road.

"Add medicine, since one is not enough, use one more, the first time the benefit is the most, no matter how poor our Yujian Sect is, we will not be stingy in this regard." Zhou Shoumo nodded, his eyes signaling to Chen Zhen.

On weekdays, Chen Zhen is in charge of refining medicinal liquids, ointments, and medicinal baths.

"How many copies did Su Hong use for the first time?" Hong Ming, who was looking at Cheng Wuwu's side, asked.

"That time, I looked at Su Hong, I used two and a half parts, and the third part was not absorbed, so I took it to fertilize the spiritual field." Liu Qingxue returned to Huang Xuemei's side and checked the medicinal liquid in her medicine barrel, the color was still green and green, and it was still early to absorb it, but this time the medicinal bath was still long, even if the absorption efficiency was poor, as long as she remained in a meditative state, a day and night would be enough for her to completely absorb a medicinal power.

Chen Zhen took a packet of medicinal powder that had been prepared a long time ago, added the medicine after several steps, and then mixed it with spiritual spring to form a viscous paste, and poured it into the medicine barrel to dilute it little by little.

This time, there were people in the bucket, so I couldn't just pour it all in and stir it as I did when I first prepared the medicated bath.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Zhen put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and Li Yuntao did not have any abnormalities during the period when he added the new medicine, so he was relieved to sit back in his previous position and meditate again.

Li Yuntao meditated on the inner world, and the green light in the spiritual rain was broken for a moment, and then reappeared, he thought that it was just because the rain in his body became bigger, so he didn't think much about it, and continued to build the rivers and mountains in his body.

That's right, after the formation of the lava vortex of the earth's inner fire, the spiritual rain in Li Yuntao's body became larger again, this time it had a tendency to move closer to the heavy rain, and the spiritual energy rain that fell by brushing and pulling down seemed to leak a hole in the sky, pouring down, and the water level of the main stream of the river was constantly rising, and the originally empty riverbed had already been filled with the spiritual energy rainwater that flowed in, and there was a tendency to rush towards the embankment.

Once the embankment breaks, isn't it the spiritual veins in the body that are damaged? In order not to happen, Li Yuntao could only try his best to control the flow of the Spiritual Qi River into the Spirit Lake as soon as possible, and at the same time develop some tributary rivers and stream channels so that they could carry more Spiritual Qi River water.

As more and more river water flows in, the area of the Reiki Lake expands and grows visibly, and even if a part of it enters the main river channel and flows out to other waterways of the body to circulate around the body, it cannot stop its expansion.

Under the irrigation of a large number of heaven and earth spiritual rain, the rainwater that has not had time to flow into the rivers and streams is absorbed by the earth on the spot, becoming the source of life for the growth of plants and trees.

In the area through which the main channel flows, the first forests have begun to form. At the foot of the peak of the volcanic eruption caused by the heart fire, the new extraordinary plants that were burned by the lava and re-grown gradually took on a scale.

The green light in the spiritual rain stopped and stopped, and after several times, a crystalline jungle had formed at the foot of the volcano, and the area around the main river channel had been occupied by woodland.

In Li Yuntao's eyes, the mountains and rivers of the vast inner world, the big rivers are rushing and roaring, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the giant trees are becoming forests, which is already a vibrant and splendid appearance.

Especially the sea of spiritual energy, at this time there are really some rudiments of the sea, if you incarnate into a specific human form standing on the shore of the spirit sea, you can't see the edge at a glance, the undulating waves like waves crashing on the shore of the sand and gravel river, this is still a large piece of fine sand and rocky reef coast specially made by Li Yuntao, in order to spiritual thoughts when they come here again, not only for cultivation, but also for a vacation, by the way, you can also take a vacation, enjoy the sun and beach, and the scenery of the waves crashing on the shore.

As the level of construction of the inner world increased, the space he could operate became much larger, and even several high mountains rose in the spiritual sea, making the peaks high above the sea as small islands to decorate the scenery.

In vitro.

Looking at the white of the fish belly gradually lit up outside the window, Chen Zhen wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and put down the medicine bowl in his hand.

"This is already the sixth medicine, our stock is used up, if we want to continue to add new medicines, I have to hurry up and configure it, you have to help me watch him."

Zhou Shoumo swallowed his saliva and waved his hand. "Go ahead, I'll watch it for you, in fact, it's the same whether you look at it or not, this kid is very stable, and there is nothing unusual at all. I really don't know how he took so much medicinal power, I remember the first time I took a medicinal bath, and at the end of the year, I felt that my whole body was swollen so much, as if I had inexhaustible strength, and I couldn't calm down at all without venting, so I just withdrew from meditation. ”

"Who knows, we're not him, how do we know how he feels, just ask him when it's over." Liu Qing Snow Road.

"That, senior brother, how many more shares do I have?" Chen Zhen asked.

"Huh? Why haven't you gone yet? ... Match more, and you will have to use it in the future. Zhou Shoumo sighed: "I hope this kid can repay more in the door in the future." We can't afford to supply him with this medicated bath alone, if we have to use so much for every medicated bath...... We have to find a way to ask for more resources from our brothers and sisters. You said that in the future, the brothers will go back to the mountain gate to exchange for pills, will they accept it if we mention some prices? He asked the others around him.

"They shouldn't have an opinion if you mention it a little, after all, the elixirs and runes in our door are all exchanged for the senior brothers at a lower price than the market price." Guo Huchen thought for a while and said, "The resources I obtained when I was walking outside are still relatively rich, and using the elixirs and spirit runes supplied in the door is indeed more reassuring than exchanging them from the Fang Market. ”

"If the uncles and uncles are still here, how can the Imperial Sword Gate be here." Hongming said.

"It's not that it's nothing, it's just that they all went to the branches, and the rest of those uncles and uncles are too extreme, since they have signed a truce and cooperation agreement, there is no need for those hatreds to continue to the younger disciples." Liu Qingxue said

"Maybe it's because they don't want to leave it to our juniors, and they really can't let go of it in their hearts, so they will establish a branch." Zhou Shoumo said with emotion:

"The swordsman has two blades, one blade to resist the enemy, one blade to deny himself, everyone has their own sword in their hearts, they can't let go, they don't follow the way of the sword in their hearts, as long as they don't do evil things, they are still the brothers of our sword gate."

"But we must always accept disciples to pass on the mantle, and that branch is destined to face our problems. You can't avoid it. Guo Huchen rubbed the black hair on the top of Chen Daniu's head, whose face was crumpled, and said softly.

"Let's take a step at a time, don't we all come here like this, if we have that majestic vision, we won't fall from the upper sect to the door." Liu Qingxue

"Zonghemen is just one word, it's just a false name for my Imperial Sword Sect, even if we call it Imperial Sword Sect, what benefits can we get? Will the dynasty outside the mountain give us an offering, or will the people give us more prices when they sell things? Zhou Shoumo shook his head and smiled.

"Not really." Hongming nodded.

"However, the dynasty will hire one of the sects to serve as the imperial worshippers, and walking in the secular world, you can get a lot of official benefits, and the sect, how nice it sounds." Liu Qingxue retorted.

Everyone nodded, it was good.

fluttering

Just as everyone nodded, a rather heroic and handsome white-feathered black-striped falcon flew into the kitchen used for medicinal baths with its wings and landed on Hongming's shoulder.

"Faith." The falcon spit out a word concisely, threw the envelope in his paw into Hongming's hand, and then jumped onto the stove by himself, stretched out his legs, and twisted to the pile of ingredients to find a spirit fruit to peck at.

"Whose letter?" Zhou Shoumo took the letter handed over by Hongming and asked the falcon.

Saker rolled his eyes: "See for yourself." ”

There was no signature on the envelope, and it was not specified who wanted to open it in person, so Zhou Shoumo checked the spirit seal, which was the sword rune seal commonly used by the Imperial Sword Gate, and according to the requirements, a trace of metallic spiritual power was introduced, the spirit seal was untied by itself, the envelope popped open, and he took out the letter paper.

Dense fly-headed letters are written all over the entire letter paper, the handwriting is clean and neat, and the pen is sharp, which is not beautiful but very easy to read.

Zhou Shoumo had a bad premonition when he saw so many words, so he hastily oversaw it at a glance and ten lines, and probably knew what was said in the letter.

"It's a receipt from the junior brother who was previously dispatched to investigate Senior Brother Song's injury," he pinched the letter and looked up at the several junior disciples present: "It can also be regarded as a letter asking for help." ”
