Chapter 15: Breakthrough
It was just getting dark.
The mist that fell from the mountains lingered, enveloping the entire city in a vast white.
Wei Tao came out of his home, and now he bought bread and boiled eggs at the mouth of the alley, and walked towards the martial arts hall while eating.
It's been a while since the last time wolf meat was supplemented.
In addition to hard cultivation and hunting in the mountains, he also had to devote part of his energy to various chores such as the purchase of materials for the martial arts hall, the repair of equipment, and the bookkeeping and write-off, and he was basically busy every day.
In a few days, it will be the day of the martial arts hall's semi-annual school examination.
At that time, the registered disciples of the outer court who have reached the age of three months will be cleaned up in large quantities.
And for the official disciples of the inner court, the results of the examination are also very important.
Because this is related to the arrangement of follow-up practice, as well as the distribution of a blood invigorating pill.
The raw materials of the blood pill are difficult to find, it is not easy to make, and it takes a long time, and it requires a large amount of medicinal essence to be condensed and boiled over a slow fire.
Except for the senior brother Tan Pan and the second senior sister Wang Yingxue, who had already stepped into the blood coagulation level, they all had a certain tonic effect on other formal disciples.
Especially for newcomers who have not yet reached the level of refining muscles, it is equivalent to a rare medicine.
This year, however, the situation has taken a new turn.
Because the martial arts hall has obtained more red-topped gray wolves, the number of blood pills boiled has also risen, even if it can't reach the quota of one person for each disciple, at least it is much more generous than last year, which was only one copy.
In Wei Tao's opinion, he should be able to get a blood invigorating pill at the bottom.
If you're lucky, you might even get more.
Then the next plan is well arranged.
First take the blood invigorating pill to strengthen qi and blood, nourish yourself, and use the medicinal effect as much as possible to improve the level of Red Line Fist cultivation.
Then you can open the status bar and use the gold you have accumulated so far to carry out the next stage of "cultivation".
This is called the rational use of allocated resources, the optimal choice of good steel on the cutting edge.
The corners of Wei Tao's mouth curled slightly, thinking silently, he suddenly stopped at an intersection, turned around and looked at the long stone road on the side.
With the sound of light footsteps, a slender and toned figure slowly walked out of the depths of the fog and approached.
"Second Senior Sister is so early today." Wei Tao said hello.
Wang Yingxue said, "I've been waiting here for a quarter of an hour. ”
"Oh? Could it be that the second senior sister made a special trip to wait for me here? ”
"I'm just waiting for you."
Wang Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the man in front of her, "Three days later, it will be the examination school of this sect, how is Senior Brother Wei's preparation?" ”
"There's nothing to prepare, it's just a step-by-step training every day." Wei Tao remained silent, analyzing her intentions.
Wang Yingxue nodded, "Yes, that's good, there is not much hope, and there will be no deep disappointment." ”
"What does the second senior sister mean?" Wei Tao frowned slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Wang Yingxue combed the hair scattered next to her ears, and her expression was calm and peaceful, "We discussed it yesterday,
This time, I won't organize the assessment of my own disciples, and the three blood invigorating pills that were refined, except for one for the six junior disciples,
The rest is all given to the eighth junior disciple who is the latest to get started, which can be regarded as the best choice for this sect to maximize the effect. ”
"How many of you have discussed?" Wei Tao's eyes sank slightly, and fell on the heroic and beautiful face.
"That's what the teacher mean, too?"
Wang Yingxue smiled, "The teacher had an urgent matter the day before yesterday and went out of the house, so before leaving, let me discuss the specific operation with the senior brother and them." ”
Wei Tao was silent for a moment, "Second Senior Sister came to wait for me so early, and she was also asking for my opinion?" ”
"No, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm here to inform you of the final result." Wang Yingxue smiled leisurely, her tone was calm and indifferent, as if she was saying that the weather was good today.
"Okay, I see, is there anything else that Second Senior Sister has to do?"
Wei Tao finished speaking, but he didn't get any response at all.
The slender figure was no longer visible in front of him, and only a cloud of white mist remained, still surging there.
Coming out of the martial arts hall in the evening, Wei Tao returned home with a stack of meatloaf.
His mother and eldest sister lived in the jade workshop, and his father Wei Rongxing also stayed in the courtyard of the patron to catch up with the work, leaving him alone in the family.
Gobbling up the meatloaf, the night was already dark.
The dim moonlight shone down, painting the chaotic buildings on the edge of the outer city a hazy dusk.
Wei Tao blew out the oil lamp, and a faint glow slowly appeared in front of him.
He sighed secretly.
Originally, I wanted to wait a while, first take the Blood Activating Pill to improve a wave, and then activate the status bar to move to a higher level, but now there is no need for this.
Name: The method of internal practice of red line boxing.
Progress: Just getting started.
Status: Beginner.
Whether or not to consume a gold coin to increase the progress of cultivation.
He concentrated and slammed down on the "yes" button.
Swish!
A gold coin vanished.
The aura of mystery reappears.
The qi and blood in the body began to grow stronger and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon broke through the restrictions of the palm and quickly spread to other parts.
His hands were hot, his head was swollen, and his eyes were black.
After a few breaths, when it's all over.
Wei Tao got up from the wooden chair, came to his humble courtyard, and slowly hit a few red jade hammers.
He could clearly feel that the previous sluggish flow of qi and blood had become a little smoother, and even the movement of the playing style had become much smoother and smoother.
Next, Wei Tao did not hesitate or hesitate, and put the second gold coin into it.
And then the third.
When the third gold coin is invested, the cultivation progress reaches 30%.
His heart suddenly moved, and it felt like a switch had been turned on somewhere, and the flow of qi and blood in his arms and fists suddenly became different.
Looking down, Wei Tao suddenly showed a long-suppressed smile of joy on his face.
"As soon as my mind moved, my complexion was like blood and hard as stone, which meant that I had broken through the forging skin and stepped into the level of refining tendons."
"From the beginning to thirty percent of the progress, it corresponds to the level of forging skin, so is the progress from thirty to sixty corresponding to the level of refining?"
Little by little, time passed.
Silently, the final fourth gold coin disappeared from the status bar.
Wei Tao closed his eyes and endured the huge impact that appeared in an instant.
When everything calms down.
Name: The method of internal practice of red line boxing.
Progress: 40 percent.
Realm: Refining level.
Status: Slightly successful.
Wei Tao stared intently at the virtual state bar, perceiving the flow of qi and blood in his body, and once again put out the red line fist and slowly practiced in the courtyard.
Fortunately, on the night of the capture of the red-capped gray wolf, Master Zhou drank happily and taught the internal practice method of refining tendons in advance with the intention of drinking.
Otherwise, now that his eyes are black, he just has an extra gold coin, and he may not be able to use it for the cultivation of the Red Line Fist.
Of course, the results of his cultivation that have been somewhat successful today are inseparable from his own efforts.
After all, without the foundation laid at the beginning, the four gold coins accumulated so far would be useless.
Thinking about it further, even if he uses the status bar to improve, it is the gold he has worked hard to wait for, and it has nothing to do with other people.
It's just a pity that one of the blood pills.
Originally, he had kept the gold coins all the time, just to get the blood invigorating pill in his hand, first use the medicinal effect to increase as much as possible when the cultivation was low, and then maximize the effect of his cultivation through the status bar.
But now that the blood booster pill has been lost, there is no need to wait.
Wei Tao put away his fist and slowly exhaled a scorching breath.
His mood was very calm now, neither the arrogance of not making much progress during this time, nor the arrogance of the rapid progress of his cultivation under the moon.
Because he knows very well that he has now encountered another bottleneck.
It may take a month to settle down, and wait for the next gold coin to break through again.
From forging skin to refining tendons, it is a big leap.
It gave him a completely different and new feeling.
Then on the progress bar of the Red Line Fist, if you want to step into the blood coagulation level, it is very likely that it corresponds to more than sixty percent of the progress.
As long as you reach the level of 60% of the people who have entered the hall, it is possible to naturally break through the refining tendons and step into the realm of blood condensation.
So before that, it's best to find a way to get the follow-up practice.
In order to avoid a situation where there are no gold coins but cannot be improved.
Before you know it, it's late at night, and the fog hasn't cleared yet.
It even became deeper and heavier over time.
Wei Tao wiped his body with a little water and changed into clean clothes.
Then find a blackened piece of charcoal, draw circles on the ground, and connect them separately.
The circle in the center represents the red line door.
There are also four circles around it, representing the Silver Wolf Gang, Changle Fang, Fushun Dart Bureau, and Iron Alley.
The adopted daughter and son of the Silver Wolf Gang Leader, the nephew of Suo Qi, the stall head of Changle Fang, the son of Fushun Dart Bureau, and the granddaughter of the head of Iron Lane are likely to be added in the future, all of whom are official disciples of the teacher.
Forces that didn't have much intersection before were linked together in such a way.
Wei Tao stared at the charcoal drawing on the ground for a moment, and then reached out to draw a larger circle a little farther away.
Then two words were written in it.
One big character is yellow, and the other small character is Tan.
The Huang family, one of the three major families in the inner city, has three sons and four daughters, among which the second daughter of the concubine Huang Jiaoyun has appeared in the inner courtyard of the martial arts hall many times recently, and has a close attitude with the senior brother Tan Pan, which has to make people think deeply.
Several circles form a large net, encompassing an unknown number of people.
He also unknowingly became an inconspicuous node in this net, not only being left with a unique mark, but also deeply influenced by other nodes.
Silver Wolf Gang, Wang Yingxue, Wang Lianshan.
These three names are highlighted and marked.
For Wei Tao, a blood invigorating pill is useful, but it is not an irreplaceable and indispensable necessity.
However, it doesn't matter if you get the thing or not, what really matters is the information that comes out of this incident.
He didn't believe that if Wang Yingxue was facing Tan Pan, Suo Yunhai, or even Peng Yue, who also had no background, she would still dare to turn around and leave with a sentence like today.
The moon was dark and windy.
Wei Tao smeared the marks on the ground one by one, and was about to get up and go back to the house, but he squatted down again and picked up the branch.
Youth Alliance.
He wrote three words on the ground, recalling the scene of the meeting with the backbone of his gang not long ago, thinking of the other party's eagerness to find a backer, and standing alone in the courtyard and thinking for a long time.
