Chapter 108: Jin Changguo
In addition to daily practice, in terms of swordsmanship and boxing techniques in the past, Liu Lu spent less time, but turned into another kind of cultivation technique.
Previously, on Wu Zhiji's body, he got a fragment, and through this period of research, Liu Lu found that it was a fragment of a body refining exercise, called the Yijin chapter.
What is tendon, outside the marrow bone, inside the skin and flesh, the limbs are hundred, everywhere is not tendon, useless is not tendon, no strength is not tendon, contact the whole body, pass qi and blood, help the spirit, carry and use, mainly to exercise the body.
Today's immortal cultivators focus on realm cultivation, the improvement of spiritual power and soul, and the means of attack also rely on secret art treasures, so under normal circumstances, they will not deliberately polish and strengthen the physical quality, after all, with the posture of immortals, relying on physical combat is quite inferior.
And what kind of strong body is needed to resist the attack of spiritual weapons and spells, although the way of refining the body has a strong power that cannot be broken after the completion of the later stage, but because of the slow progress and huge consumption of resources, it has slowly become a niche, and in the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few people who specialize in this way.
Liu Lu was also a little hesitant when he saw the fragment of this body refining technique at the beginning, after all, it was just an easy tendon chapter, strengthening and refining the body, one could not improve the realm of cultivation, and the other could not immediately enhance the strength, as for the extent to which the body would be strengthened after refining in the later stage, how much it would help to improve the strength, just with a fragment, there was really not much confidence.
But in the end, Liu Lu still decided to give it a try, first, there are no good exercises at present.
In addition, with his qualifications, in terms of cultivation realm, he will not go to the front no matter what, and there is no such thing as delaying cultivation.
Moreover, it is precisely because of his slow improvement in the cultivation realm that this shortcoming will always affect the improvement of his strength, so it is even more necessary to make up for it from other places, and what will not be affected by the realm is only his own physical body at present.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, as long as it can improve his strength, Liu Lu is willing to take the time to do it, so since he was not out of the Zhaoming Kingdom, he has already begun to cultivate the Yi Jin Chapter, and now, it has been three months, except that his body is indeed stronger, he can't feel any changes.
Liu Lu has a very good mentality, perhaps because he has experienced too many good things and many grinds, and he has not experienced quick-acting things except for unlucky things, so he can also stabilize his mentality when dealing with anything, and he will not give up easily halfway, nor will he be too anxious and aggressive.
Again, it takes ten days and a half month to peel off the skin, and it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones.
Jinchang Guoduo gold, this gold does not specifically refer to gold, but gold and stone fine iron and other metal objects are collectively referred to.
Therefore, in addition to the majestic armor of Jinchangguo, the country is also prosperous in martial arts, taking Liu Lu's personal experience along the way, the rivers and lakes of Jinchangguo are indeed much stronger than the rivers and lakes of Zhaomingguo.
Along the way, Liu Lu did not bully ordinary people in the rivers and lakes with the cultivation of the Qi refining period, but hung the spirit snake sword and walked in Jinchang Country as a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and he also encountered a lot of battles because of this.
And this is all regarded by him as a kind of grinding.
A spirit snake sword and a through-arm fist have made Liu Lu famous, and he can be regarded as a well-known rising star in the rivers and lakes of Jinchangguo.
Wuwei City is the capital of Jinchang State.
Listening to this name, you can feel the sword light and sword shadow rushing to your face, iron-blooded Jinge.
Listening to the name, you may think that Jinchangguo is a warlike country, but in fact, this generation of Jinchangguo is not a person who pays attention to martial arts, and Jinchangguo has not had a war for decades.
Just like Wuwei City, before entering the city, Liu Lu was already ready to fight at any time without saying a word, and he was ready to be chased and killed at any time and run away, but after entering the city, he found that he was completely overthinking, this is a capital city that does not lose to Star City, with a large population, prosperous commerce and trade, and there are not so many official soldiers on the street, as long as you don't kill people and break the law, even if you are from a foreign country or a country, no one cares about you or anything.
Liu Lu spent a few days in Wuwei City, and in addition to replenishing some rations and drinks, he also bought more than a dozen weapons of rare and rare materials.
It's not that it's bought for your own use, it's going to be sold elsewhere. In addition, he also collected some ores and iron things in various corners of Wuwei City, anyway, they all looked strange, and he couldn't recognize the reason, so he bought them all, thinking that when he had the opportunity, he would find someone who knew the goods to see, anyway, as long as there were one or two valuable ones, he would not lose.
Jin Changguo's martial arts are prosperous, with Liu Lu's current identity and strength, he naturally has no interest in participating in some grand events in the rivers and lakes martial arts, he hopes to see other immortal cultivators, but unfortunately, like Zhaomingguo, Jinchangguo's immortal cultivation is also declining and withering, plus he is not familiar with life, so he has no chance to meet Jin Changguo's immortal cultivators.
Of course, the famous Jinting Cave Heaven, Liu Lu not only had no intention of going to see it, but even deliberately bypassed the area where the Golden Ting Cave Heaven was located.
Not to mention that the killing of the black-clothed young man in the Fengling Mountain Mine Cave had been detected and suspected by the people of Jinting Dongtian in the battle of the White Dragon Gang, even if there was no such thing, he did not dare to go, judging from the style of Jinting Dongtian in the Liuyun Sect, he really couldn't believe the character of the people of Jinting Dongtianmen.
There are two ways for Zhaoming Kingdom to go east, one is to go directly east to the country, through the vast wasteland and grassland to Dongou Kingdom. This road is sparsely populated, but the road is relatively close, so many people choose this road.
There is also a detour to Jinchangguo, this road is farther than this, because Jinchangguo is in the northeast of Zhaoming Kingdom, so if you want to go around from Jinchangguo to Dongou Kingdom, you can only go to the southeast direction, and then cross the vast prairie in between.
After Liu Lu left Wuwei City, he first began to go south, anyway, this way was mainly to see Jin Changguo, and now that Wuwei City has seen it, he can start to continue to the east.
A month later, three or four days away from the border, Liu Lu stayed overnight in a remote town called Xingkang Town.
While eating in the town, I overheard the legend of the haunted house at the end of the town.
Liu Lu has never seen a ghost when he is so big, so he decided to see it because he was bold.
The so-called haunted house, in fact, is a long-abandoned and dilapidated school, has been more than ten years, listening to the residents of the town, there used to be a shabby scholar who settled in the middle of the school to open a lecture hall, the children in the town will go there to study, because of the invasion of the rogue, the reader was killed, and the school was abandoned.
The reason why the school has not been moved since then is because of the haunting.
According to the residents of the town, in the abandoned school, I have seen the ghost of the scholar many times, and the residents of the town think that the scholar is unwilling to die, so he has been nostalgic and does not leave, so he later invited several exorcists to send it away, but it has not been satisfactory, and this matter has been dragged down like this, because the ghost of the scholar has never been harmful, and the residents of the town have let the school dilapidated until now.
Because of the taboo, basically no one wants to approach it on weekdays.
When Liu Lu walked into the abandoned school, it was the time when the sun set for the last rays of afterglow.
The sky has darkened, in a broken wall and ruins, in the barren grass, a few crows still startled Liu Lu for a while, this kind of scene really has nothing to do with strength, no one will be too easy for the first time.
"Hmm!"
Liu Lu was suddenly a little stunned, the ghost said that he originally thought it was just a rumor, who would have thought that as soon as he came in, he saw a vague figure.
The figure disappeared again in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't see the face clearly, but the basic human form couldn't be wrong, and Liu Lu didn't think he was wrong.
Liu Lu was a little unsure if it was the scholar or the ghost that the townspeople were talking about.
The figure appeared under an old tree under the dilapidated courtyard, and new shoots had begun to sprout from the branches.
Liu Lu was bold, pulled out the sword at his waist and walked over slowly, but he didn't notice any abnormality and danger, and the figure did not appear again.
Standing in the place where the figure appeared in front of him, there was nothing, except for a black triangular arc of iron that looked like a plowshare hanging from the branch next to his head, and he didn't know what it was used for.
Liu Lu knocked it with his sword.
It was not a dull sound, but a very clear and transparent, gold-like voice, Liu Lu knocked a few more times under curiosity, and the jingle was quite pleasant.
"I guess it's used as a notification bell to ring at the end of school and the beginning of school."
Liu Lu guessed a rough idea, because many places like schools and academies will have this kind of notification ringtone. There were small bronze bells or copper bells in the better places, planks and clay pots in the worse places, and anyway, he had a clear voice, and the one in front of him was like a plowshare, or like something that was removed from the shoulder pads of his armor and knocked flat, and he couldn't think of anything else.
It is worthy of being in Jinchangguo, you can see strange gold and iron things anywhere, Liu Lu suddenly became interested in this triangle, thinking if it was some kind of alien iron or something.
I don't know if it's because there is more jade in Zhaomingguo, or the experience of picking up stones on the road to Zhaomingguo, when Liu Lu was in Zhaomingguo, when he encountered all kinds of good-looking or strange stones on the road, he couldn't help but pick them up and take a look, or keep them, not that he liked all kinds of stones, but he thought about whether he could exchange some money.
After leaving Zhaoming Kingdom, this problem was brought to Jinchang Kingdom, because Jinchang Kingdom has a lot of gold, naturally all kinds of metal ores are indispensable, and it is also a kind of stone, when he was in Wuwei City, he has already seen it, some cherished ores, fists can be worth a lot of money, but it is not worse than jade at all, if it is that kind of strange iron or strange ore, it is even more valuable, in Wuwei City he has collected a lot of himself, and he is ready to go to a big place and sell it to make a fortune.
I didn't see the so-called figures and ghosts anymore, so I had to leave, of course, Liu Lu didn't forget to pick up the triangle hanging on the tree when he left.
