Chapter 18: Refining the Body
A clearing the size of two medicine valleys, in the middle is a large slope, the feet are covered with scattered stones, and in the middle there is a road that goes straight up the slope, judging from the large stones that have stepped into the dirt on the road, it should have taken hundreds of thousands of turns to step to this level.
On both sides of the clearing, there were thick wooden stakes, as well as stone piers that had been hewn flattened, of different sizes, which seemed to be Qin Hu's usual practice.
Qin Wen walked up the slope along the gravel road, and there were all kinds of irregular and huge stones scattered under the slope in front of him, like a stone henge laid down, and the road in the middle of the stones was also smoothed, and there were traces of being chopped by knives and axes on each stone, and various fragments of weapons that had been broken were scattered around the stones.
"Qin Wen, Ah Xiao, you are here. At this time, Qin Hu's voice came from the bottom of the slope.
Qin Wen turned around and saw Qin Hu covered in blood, still carrying the corpse of a wind wolf in his hand, and one was also tied to his back, the wolf's head hung down along Qin Hu's shoulder, and at a glance, it seemed that there was another wolf head on his shoulder.
Qin Wen nodded and said, "Ah Xiao and I have just arrived here, and you usually practice here?"
Qin Hu threw the wind wolf in his hand to the ground, and then untied the one on his back and said: "Yes, these are all figured out by myself, physical cultivation and qi cultivation are different, only when my physical strength is squeezed dry, the realm can be improved quickly." ”
Speaking of this, he beckoned Qin Xiao and said: "You go and clean up these two wind wolves, get some dry firewood, the place at home is small, let's roast wolf meat under this slope today." ”
Qin Xiao agreed, then dragged the corpses of the two wind wolves and walked towards the well outside the courtyard, Qin Hu looked at Qin Wen and said, "I'll accompany you everywhere." ”
Qin Wen shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'll come over today to take a look, I also have a set of physical cultivation exercises, I think it's quite appropriate to cultivate here." ”
Qin Hu grinned and said, "As long as you don't break through to the Xuan Sect Upper Rank, your physical cultivation can be cultivated in this Broken Stone Valley." As he spoke, he took off his blood-soaked clothes, revealing his dark upper muscles, kicked his feet at will, and his shoes made of animal skins fell to the ground.
Walked straight to a half-human-high stone stacked on the ground, hugged the stone with both hands, firmly planted the horse under his feet, and as soon as his arms were forced, the muscles on his shoulders were raised, and the stone was violently lifted above his head, and he lifted it up and down more than a dozen times before it was put on the ground with a "bang".
Immediately, Qin Hu walked to the small stone next to him, saying that it was small, one of which weighed 100 catties, and grabbed the deep finger hole left on a stone with both palms, and suddenly picked it up, and then ran towards the slope barefoot, not caring about the sharp stones under his feet, and ran dozens of times before putting the stone back to its original position.
With a blushing face and panting, he walked to the wide wooden stake planted again, and practiced his steps from inside, Qin Wen saw that although he was big, he was not bulky, and his steps were dexterous like a butterfly running back and forth on the stake.
Qin Wen remembered the Canglong Jue he had cultivated at this time, and he also untied the robe outside, and first tied up his horse next to a relatively small stone, and now his body has been quenched by the body refining potion to the realm of acquired perfection, and it should not be a problem to lift this stone.
Then he shook his arms, hugged the stone, and then raised it violently, Qin Wen felt the muscles on his arms keep shaking, he gritted his teeth, supported three or four breaths, and then put it down, and then raised it again, he didn't use the vitality in the dantian, he used the liliang of the flesh itself.
After putting down the stones, he also grabbed the stones with his hands and ran towards the slope, running three times in a row, feeling that the feet were in pain, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
By the time the sun had set in the west, Qin Wen was already exhausted, and at this time, he still did not stop his physical cultivation, but followed the route of Canglong Jue's exercises, and at this time, he felt that a cool feeling was transmitted from his skin to his bones, and the soreness on his body was reduced by more than half.
Then he continued to walk towards the half-man-tall rock.
For a stick of incense, for half an hour, Qin Wen has been running the Canglong Jue, and whenever he can't support it, there will always be a cool feeling wandering through his body.
The sky was already completely dark, Qin Wen listened to the cultivation, and as soon as he put down the stone and turned around, he saw the stunned eyes of the two Qin Hu brothers.
Qin Wen looked down and saw that the clothes on his whole body were already soaked with sweat, so he directly took off all the clothes on his upper body, and then put on the long shirt on the ground.
Qin Hu motioned for Qin Xiao to take the clothes, and then he also walked forward and said in appreciation: "Qin Wen, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, my realm has not passed the innate time, and I will be tired after cultivating like this for two hours at most every day." ”
Qin Wen smiled and said: "Maybe it's because I use the body cultivation potion every day, you are still in the realm of the lower level of the Xuan level, and you can just use the potion I configured, in this way, tomorrow I will ask Qin Xiao to get you some back, you can also fry it, soak it for an hour every night, you can warm your bones." ”
Seeing that Qin Hu still wanted to excuse himself, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will come here often in the future, don't be polite to me, by the way, I can smell the fragrance, the meat is cooked." ”
Qin Hu also said happily: "It's baked, it's just right to eat now, you wait, I'll go and bring some fruit wine, and drink it happily today." ”
The night is vast, the stars are shining, a bonfire is burning in the gravel valley, the aroma of barbecue is wafting in the wind, drops of grease fall into the bonfire, making a "crackling" sound, and the fruit wine poured out of the dark yellow gourd is passed among the three of them.
Qin Wen drank a few sips of wine, felt that his appetite was much better, and ate a lot of roasted wolf meat, zuihou Qin Xiao took out a few more cakes from his home, and baked them under the wolf meat, and the fat was mixed with seasonings and was followed by the cakes, and after a while, the cakes were also baked golden brown, with an attractive fragrance.
After eating two cakes, Qin Lu came to look for Qin Wen to go home, and Qin Wen waved goodbye to Qin Hu, who was already slightly drunk.
After returning to the courtyard, Qin Wen drank two sips of the decanting soup sent him, wiped his face with a cold towel, and then asked the two maids to give him the medicinal juice for refining his body.
In the steaming wooden barrel, Qin Wen closed his eyes slightly, silently carrying the Canglong Jue, the cool breath with medicinal properties gradually penetrated from his skin into the bones, although the feeling of alternating heat and cold was a little unbearable, but every time the medicinal properties passed, all the soreness and fatigue were swept away.
For a whole hour, when Qin Wen stood up from the wooden barrel, it was already the middle of the moon, and the water in the wooden barrel was already a little cold, Qin Wen looked at it carefully, the medicinal soup was already colorless, and after smelling it, the medicinal taste was also a lot lighter, and he knew that this was the medicinal property that had been completely absorbed.
Satisfied, he returned to his room, stretched his warm body, began to calm down, sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Nine Turns of the Burning Sun Technique.
Early the next morning, Qin Wen arranged for Qin Xiao to cultivate in the wing, and then came to the Gravel Valley with ease.
Lift the stones, thirty times, and then turn back on the slope with a load, fifteen times, under the nourishment of Canglong Jue again and again, Qin Wen, who was soaked all over, still felt energetic.
When he reached the limit of his physical strength again and again, the realm of Canglong Jue was also slowly improving.
In the afternoon, Qin Wen found a spear on Qin Hu's weapon rack and practiced the Canglong Eight Styles, and he also found a suitable place for cultivation in the stone formation under the slope according to the requirements of the marksmanship posture, and each style just pierced the stones in the direction, which also ensured that he practiced the marksmanship accurately.
In the evening, when he returned to his courtyard, he bathed in the medicinal soup of refining his body, and then practiced the Nine Turns of Flame Yang Technique when he rested at night.
In the past three months, Qin Wen has been cultivating day after day, the amount of food has also increased, his physique is much stronger than before, and the muscles on his body have gradually become as good as Qin Hu's.
The foundation of the Canglong Jue has been completely consolidated, and the first three styles of the Canglong Eight Styles have also been perfected.
With Qin Wen's body refining medicinal soup, Qin Hu's cultivation is also a thousand miles a day, and he has broken through to the middle level of Xuantu, although what he has obtained is only a mutilated exercise, but judging from Qin Wen's experience, there is no problem with the cultivation of this set of exercises to the Xuanshi period, and at that time, it will depend on whether he has the opportunity to make up for the follow-up of the exercises.
At the east gate of Luming City, a long smoke billowed from the official road, and two red wind horses galloped into the city gate quickly, and the soldiers guarding the gate just wanted to curse a few words, but when they saw the clothes of the knights on the horses, they couldn't help but swallow their words mixed with the wind and sand.
In the time of a stick of incense, dozens of black-armored knights in Luming City galloped out of the city gates in all directions, the heavy city gates slowly closed, the city lord guards wearing black armor began to impose martial law on the road, and a temporary tent was also erected on the training ground in the east of the city, and then every pedestrian on the road was stopped and questioned.
On the official road leading to the major families in Luming City, billowing smoke and dust instantly swayed.
A black-armored knight went straight to the door of the council hall of the Qin family's manor, and as soon as he got off the horse, the Great Elder who got the news had already greeted him, and the knight took out a letter from the letter bag behind him and handed it to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder saw that his color changed slightly, and then he said to the steward behind him: "Ring the nine-fold long bell and gather all the Qin clan people and families to worship." ”
The steward quickly ran into the courtyard, and the rapid sound of the copper bell suddenly resounded throughout the Qin manor, and the Yinxia Mountain not far away also faintly echoed.
