Chapter 4: The "Side Effects" of the Divine Seal
"Whew!"
Slowly putting away his fist, Su Qin let out a long breath.
Since he promised Su Gu that he would not go out, he has been living in his small courtyard for this time, devoting himself to practicing martial arts.
Just now, he had completely and coherently beaten the quenching body five times, and it was already the realm of the fivefold quenching body.
Most of the progress he made in just one month was due to the brand-new body that had undergone the transformation of the Thunder Divine Seal, and of course, a small half was due to his own unremitting efforts.
However, Su Qin is not satisfied with this, because his current cultivation is only about the same as that of other peers, although he has jumped up from the triple quenching body in a very short time, but there is still a long way to go before defeating the great enemy Su Mutian in his mind, and he must not slack off.
It's just that there is a special thing that has been bothering him, making Su Qin's cultivation not feel at ease.
Since he suffered a thunderbolt and opened the Thunder Divine Seal, although he will no longer be affected by thunderstorms and become "sick", as long as he cultivates for a long time, it will start to affect the weather, sunny days will become cloudy days, cloudy days will become rainy days, and rainy days will become rainstorm days.
And no matter what kind of weather changes, it will inevitably be accompanied by thunder, even on sunny days.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but after more than ten days, Su Qin knew that it was definitely related to the Thunder Divine Seal in his body.
"Grandpa told me not to use the power of the Divine Seal without authorization until Master came, but I can't do it if I don't want to!
Looking at the dark clouds that were rapidly gathering overhead, Su Qin muttered to himself depressedly in the courtyard.
If it's an ordinary thunderstorm, it's okay, he can still pretend that it's okay and continue to cultivate himself, but every time there is a thunderstorm, the sky above the Su family, or more precisely, over his small courtyard, must be the most concentrated place for thunder.
In the long run, it will be strange not to be noticed that there are ghosts!
What if you attract outsiders to watch?
"Alas, I haven't had time to practice cutting strength today, forget it, anyway, I haven't touched the way after practicing for six or seven days, I've been holding back at home for a month, so it's better to go out and take a walk. ”
Interception is a way to exert force in the body boxing, and if it is practiced, the power is at least equivalent to the seven-grade martial arts.
Martial arts are divided into nine grades, the first rank is the highest, the second grade is the second, and the ninth grade is the lowest, but it is also the most common and has the most types.
The seventh grade is already the highest-grade martial art that the three major families in Wushan Town can master, and from this we can see how powerful the interception strength is.
In contrast, the ordinary quenching boxing, for the majority of martial artists, is just a boxing method used to practice in the quenching realm, and it is not suitable for actual combat, and it is not even a nine-rank martial art.
However, how to practice the interception strength, only Su Qin himself knows the entire Su family, because this is what is recorded in the "Southern Xinjiang Miscellaneous Records" that grandpa said.
The book was found by him from the Book Pavilion early in the morning, and as for why it was in the Book Pavilion and not in the Martial Arts Pavilion, Su Qin didn't have to think about it and knew that it was for secrecy.
According to the book, the more proficient the cultivation of the Quenching Fist, the higher the grade, but he still doesn't know what height he can reach in the end.
It's a pity that such a powerful interception force is not so easy to practice, and after Su Qin reached the fifth level of quenching the body that is suitable for cultivating actual combat martial arts, he practiced for six or seven days in a row, but he didn't even touch the doorway.
Coupled with the troubles caused by the Thunder Divine Seal, he had the idea of going out for a walk, and he was out of control.
However, Su Gu's order to be grounded has not been withdrawn, so he decided to take Su Meng'er out with him, and he will explain more when the time comes.
"Brother Su Qin will actually take the initiative to invite people to go shopping?
For his invitation, Su Meng'er's heart was full of joy as a young girl, and she agreed without too much hesitation.
However, when the brother and sister quietly left through the back door of the Su family and came to the most lively street market in the town to hang out, Su Qin did not know that the news of his going out had already been transmitted back to the Lin family's house by the Lin family's secret whistle that was spread outside the Su family's mansion all the time.
......
Lin Hong, Lin Shan's father, was standing in his son's room with a sad face at the moment, watching a few subordinates change his son's medicine.
Although a month has passed, Lin Shan was really struck by lightning that day, even if his life was not lost, the injury was unimaginably severe.
Not to mention that his meridians and viscera were destroyed in a mess, and his cultivation was completely abolished, and he didn't know how long it would take to heal just the dense layer of burning bubbles on the surface of his body.
If it weren't for the fact that someone was staring at changing dressings and bandages day and night, I am afraid that even the skin ulcers would rot to him.
It's worse than death!
And for Lin Hong, who is a father, of course, this is a great torment, but he can't complain about anything, because it was obviously his son who wanted to kill Su Qin, and finally got to the top of the mountain and was struck by lightning together, which is to blame.
However, when he heard the news that Su Qin had recovered from his injuries and could walk on the streets, Lin Hong's anger exploded: "Fuck! Why is it that Su Qin's little beast can be raised by lightning strikes, but my son is still lying on the bed! Call Old Tang to me and ask him if he didn't care to treat my son!"
The old Tang he said was the doctor specially hired by the Lin family, and his identity as the Su family's doctor was the same.
"Second Elder, I, Old Tang, have also served your Lin family all my life, Young Master Shan has been injured so badly, can I not use my heart to treat it? I have simply searched through the medical books these days, and I have not found a good cure, so I can only let him raise it so slowly. I dare to say that it is impossible for Guan Ze of the Su family to heal such an injury, if Su Qin really heals, he will definitely not treat it. ”
As soon as Dr. Tang entered the room, he tried to defend himself.
"Nonsense...... Huh, isn't it Guan Ze's cure?" Lin Hong was originally furious, and he was about to reprimand when he opened his mouth, but he suddenly came to his senses halfway through speaking.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, his feelings calmed down a lot, and he said slowly: "Yes, he was struck by lightning, normal medical skills are indeed not curable, and Guan Ze will not have this ability, I am afraid that Su Gu's bastard used the elixir treasured by their Su family to cure Su Qin's little beast." No, I have to find my eldest brother to ask for another elixir, Shan'er's injuries can't be healed slowly!"
The elixir is not from the hands of a healer, but a kind of thing refined by an alchemist, which is usually used to assist in cultivation, but there are also many that can cure diseases and save people.
Lin Hong misunderstood Su Qin's situation as taking the pill, so he naturally would not be reconciled, and immediately went out to find the patriarch of the Lin family and his eldest brother Lin Tai.
It's a pity that it backfired, and when he said his thoughts in an almost pleading tone, Lin Tai shook his head very dryly and said: "No, the Replenishing Yuan Pill is extremely precious, and one has been used up in order to hang Shan'er's life, and it can't be moved anymore." ”
"Big brother, Shan'er is your own nephew, you can't bear to see him lying on the bed like this?" Lin Hong was not lightly distracted.
"Brother, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't feel sorry for the mountain, but the replenishment of the Yuan Pill is too precious, how much money did our Lin family spend to only ask for three, that is to prepare for a large-scale conflict with the Su family in the future, a pill can make you and me in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm directly recover from the state of exhaustion of strength to perfection, it is the killer weapon of our Lin family, how can it be spent more at this time?" Lin Tai was also helpless, and said with a sigh.
"There are still two Replenishing Yuan Pills left, just use one more, just one. Lin Hong spread his hands and continued to plead.
"No, I can't. Lin Tai still shook his head, "Shan'er's injury, I will find a way to find someone to treat it, but the pill must not be moved." I know that you have been worried about him these days, and you don't have the heart to take care of the family's affairs, so it is better to divide the matter to Lin Chi and Lin Chang first, including the matter of connecting with Qingfeng Village, you can accompany the mountain yourself, and it can be regarded as letting you rest and rest. ”
"I ......" Lin Hong wanted to refuse, but he knew that he was indeed powerless to be distracted, so he hesitated.
However, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and said: "Big brother, I won't care about business matters first, but over there in Qingfeng Village, I don't worry about leaving it to others, so let's do it myself, after all, I have been in contact with them a few times, so I'm familiar with them." ”
"Alright, that's it!"
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Tai agreed to his younger brother's request, but he didn't know what Lin Hong was really thinking in his heart.
......
What happened to the Lin family, Su Qin naturally didn't know about it.
At the moment, he was picking up fresh pastries in a pastry shop and bringing them back to Su Meng'er to eat.
"Yo! Isn't this Young Master Su Qin, with Miss Su Meng'er! Miss Meng'er is really getting more and more beautiful! You two haven't been here for a while, how about it, why don't you buy some pastries back this time? It's just that it has rained a lot in the town recently, and the weather is humid, so the pastries are not big to hold, so you have to eat them early when you go back, don't let them go bad. ”
The guy who greeted them was sharp-toothed, and he was very familiar with the two of them, and he coaxed Su Meng'er into a smile with a few words, shook Su Qin's arm and said, "Brother Su Qin, let's buy more, you eat with me, and bring some for my godfather." ”
Smelling the strong aroma of the pastry, Su Qin also smiled and nodded: "Okay, then weigh a catty." ”
"Okay! A pound of pastry is fifty silver coins, you go to the account office to pay the money, and the small one will be weighed and sent directly to your home. ”
The guy moved very quickly, and as he spoke, he had finished weighing the pastry and began to wrap it in oiled paper.
While Su Qin took Su Meng'er to pay the bill, he thought of other things in his heart: "Dude said, the weather has been humid recently, and I can't even put away the pastries here, it seems that I have been cultivating diligently recently, and it has such a big impact on the weather, I just don't know, will several industries in the clan also be affected?"
As the young patriarch of the Su family, although he is still young, he has also developed the habit of thinking about the family in everything.
Although the Su family has opened many shops in the town, the foundation of the family still lies in some places where raw materials are produced, such as forest farms and mines, and the amount of income is naturally related to the weather.
"Yes, the thunderbolt wood planted by the second uncle is responsible for leading people to grow the fastest under the moisture of thunderstorms, this kind of weather should be beneficial, but I don't know if there is any harm to the fourth uncle's mine and the bone-tailed cattle raised by the fifth and sixth uncles. In this way, I should go to the second uncle to practice more, and I don't know how much good wood I will produce every day. ”
He thought about it, but he didn't know that the continuous thunderstorms in recent days had already brought huge benefits to the Su family's forest farm, the thunderbolt wood grew rapidly, and it was growing taller and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and the logging workers were not even willing to cut down, because every time a tree was left, it would grow several catties of wood the next day, and it would be sold to Liucheng for twenty silver coins, what a fortune it would accumulate!
In contrast, the medicine garden planted by the Lin family is unlucky, where the herbs are most afraid of waterlogging, and when there is too much rain, large areas of land are waterlogged, and there is no way to save them.
And it just so happened that Lin Hong was in charge of the medicine garden, and he focused all his energy on his son these days, how could he have the kung fu to care about that.
Roughly calculated, the money that the Lin family lost from the medicine garden during this period has reached thousands of gold coins, and the Su family is on a downward trend, which is also one of the reasons why Lin Tai asked Lin Hong to unload the family affairs.
And neither of them knew that the root of the matter was Su Qin, who suffered a "thunderbolt" with Lin Shan.
When the "innocent" Su Qin left the pastry shop with Meng'er, intending to wander around for a while and then go home, four or five people suddenly turned out from the corner of the street, blocking their way head-on, and a young man who was slightly older than him came out, sneered, pointed at Su Qin's nose and said: "Sick seedling, I didn't expect you to go out shopping, my brother is still lying in bed, this is all your fault!"
