Chapter 7: Strengthening
Ling Hao left the Feng family's medicine store with a large bag of blood thorns on his back, and it didn't take long to feel that the gaze behind him disappeared, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It seems that Feng Tao thinks that there is a certain pharmacist behind me, so he doesn't let the people from the Feng family's medicine store offend me. Ling Hao said secretly in his heart.
This Feng Tao is also very cautious and knows how to advance and retreat. Anyway, it's not bad that Dong Lisan's prescription can be given to such a smart person.
Forget it, it's useless to think so much, it's true to improve your strength first.
According to the memory in his mind, about half an hour later, Ling Hao returned to his home in the northern city of Xuanyan City with a large bag of blood thorns on his back.
There is no one in Ling Hao's family, only an older sister who works as a maid in the Zhang family, and an elder dumb uncle who took care of their sisters and brothers who grew up, but now they are bedridden all the year round.
The Ling family's siblings were raised by the dumb uncle alone, and they have always treated the dumb uncle as their biological father.
Eight years ago, the reason why one of the sisters and brothers became the maid of the Zhang family and the other became the medicine slave of the Zhong family was to make up for the dumb uncle's life-saving money.
Pushed the door into the small courtyard, looked at it carefully, and saw that the small courtyard was very clean, Ling Hao knew that this was done by his sister Ling Wan, and smiled faintly.
Six hundred years ago, Chen Xiaoyue was an orphan and had no real relatives.
Now that he has come back to life as Ling Hao, he has an older sister, which is not bad.
Sister Ling Wan usually comes back in the evening, and it's still early.
When I pushed the door and entered the main room, I heard a violent cough.
On the bed in the room was lying a middle-aged man with a sallow face, poor spirits, and a very thin body. As if sensing that someone was coming in, the middle-aged man tried to sit up, but because the movement was too big, he coughed even more.
Taking a deep breath and recalling the memories of Uncle Dumb in his mind, Ling Hao said loudly, "Uncle Dumb, I'm back!"
Walking to the bed, the dumb uncle was stunned for a moment when he saw Ling Hao coming back, and then his face was full of surprise. But because I couldn't speak, I could only scream "ah, ah", and I was very excited.
It's no wonder that Ling Hao, who is the medicine slave of the Zhong family, although he is in Xuanyan City, can only go home for one day every year during the Chinese New Year, and he is not allowed to visit him at ordinary times, which is no different from squatting in prison.
In the past eight years, Uncle Dumb could only see Ling Hao once a year on the day of the New Year, and every time he saw Ling Hao, he was very excited.
"Dumb uncle, don't get too excited. Ling Hao sat down in front of the dumb uncle, "I am no longer the medicine slave of the Zhong family, now that I have regained my free body, I can always live at home in the future." ”
When the dumb uncle heard this, the surprise on his face became even stronger, and he wanted to speak, but because he couldn't say it, he trembled in a hurry.
"I know what you're trying to say. Ling Hao looked at the dumb uncle with a guilty look on his face and comforted, "You are my family, and I have never regretted the decision to sell myself to the Zhong family in order to save you." ”
When the dumb uncle heard this, he trembled and stretched out his hand to touch Ling Hao's head twice, tears welling up.
"Okay, okay, I'm home, it's a happy event, you can't cry anymore. Ling Hao smiled and said, "I'm very lucky, not only was I able to continue cultivating, but I also got the guidance of a pharmacist. Maybe I'll be able to become a pharmacist in the future. ”
"In the future, our family of three will be able to live a good life together. ”
Listening to the good news that Ling Hao said, the dumb uncle was extremely relieved, and his smile became more and more happy, and he seemed to be full of expectations for the good days to come.
"Come, dumb uncle, I'll diagnose you first. Ling Hao stretched out his hand and grabbed Uncle Dumb's wrist, "The pharmacist who instructed me has taught me a lot, I should be able to see what kind of illness you have." ”
The dumb uncle was stunned for a moment, and then went crazy and wanted to avoid Ling Hao's hand.
He kept screaming "ahh
Seeing that Uncle Dumb was so excited, Ling Hao could only withdraw his hand first, and said with a smile: "Okay, since you don't want me to diagnose you now, then let's talk about it later." How have you been eating lately, and are you still drinking medicine?"
The topic changed very effectively, and after the dumb uncle's mood gradually stabilized, Ling Hao chatted with the dumb uncle for a while, and then returned to his room.
Although he didn't understand why Uncle Dumb was so resistant to letting him diagnose it, Ling Hao was not in a hurry, he had already returned home anyway, and he would definitely have the opportunity to diagnose and treat Uncle Dumb.
The room was very clean, and it was obvious that even if Ling Hao was not at home, Ling Wan was cleaning every day. Ling Hao reached out and touched the clean sheets, smiled, and immediately began to prepare to use the Blood Thorn Enhancement Method to strengthen the flesh.
As Feng Tao knew, the Blood Thorn was the most suitable medicinal material for Body Refining Realm cultivators to strengthen their physical bodies. But because the process is too painful, and the consequences of failure are also very serious, no one dares to use this method, and there are very few pharmacists who know this method.
But if it is successful, the strengthening of the physical body of a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm will not be as simple as a star, and the effect will be extremely solid.
Ling Hao took out a large vat for pickles from the storage room where the miscellaneous items were piled up, poured out the contents of the house, carefully cleaned them, and then moved them back to his room.
I added a whole jar of cold water, took out a third of the amount of blood thorns, and carefully checked it.
The quality seems to be pretty good.
All he had bought were dried bloodthorns, purple-red thorns, thick with fingers, now completely devoid of toughness, like wooden sticks, and all the thorns on the surface had softened. In this state, the medicinal power of the blood thorn can be preserved to the maximum.
After putting those bloody thorns into the water tank filled with cold water, Ling Hao did not hesitate, directly stripped off his clothes and entered the water tank.
When the bloodthorns come into contact with the water, they begin to return to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye. The one-foot-long blood thorn can swell to more than five feet after being wet, and the thickness of the thorn gradually begins to change from the thickness of a finger to the size of an arm.
The spines on its surface also began to become hard and sharp.
The speed at which the blood thorns returned to their original state was very terrifying, and in a short time, the huge water tank was covered with dense purple-red thorns, except for Ling Hao, who was half-squatting.
When the blood spurs squirmed, the spikes on its surface kept scratching and piercing into Ling Hao's skin, and after those thorns were stained with blood, they would begin to give birth to barbs and wriggle inside the wound.
It's okay to say that this is the case all over the body, and the pain is no less painful than someone taking a knife and constantly stabbing and cutting on the body.
Ling Hao only snorted when he felt the pain at first, and then he remained calm and a little frighteningly quiet.
Six hundred years ago, the pain he experienced when he was used by Li Tianqing and Huang Chuxue to extract the origin of the martial soul by using the evil secret method I don't know how terrifying it was, it was an extreme pain that even the soul was being distorted and squeezed.
In comparison, the pain of being pierced all over his body by blood thorns may be unbearable for others, but for Ling Hao, it is only a small meaning.
After a while, Ling Hao's whole person was completely entangled in purple-red blood thorns, and at first glance, it looked like a large purple-red cocoon full of sharp thorns had grown out of a large vat.
The first step of "cocooning" had been completed, Ling Hao took a deep breath and began to reverse the Five Elements Technique.
Even if an ordinary pharmacist knows this Blood Thorn Strengthening Method, he doesn't know that when he uses this method, he must wait for the cocoon to be completed, that is, when the Blood Thorn entangles itself impermeable, and starts to run the technique, so as to maximize the effect.
With the continuous operation of the Five Elements Formula, on the surface of the Great Five Elements Yin and Yang Wheel in the dantian, the five ancient characters of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth lit up again, and with the slow rotation of the roulette, the five-colored vortex once again appeared around Ling Hao's body, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi began to be continuously sucked into Ling Hao's body.
The bloody thorns that wrapped around his body began to writhe wildly, and with each twist, drops of dark cyan liquid overflowed. It's fine if the liquid drops on the surface of the body, but if it is dripped into a wound, it feels like hot oil is dripping into the wound.
Ling Hao's breathing became heavier and heavier, but he remained silent throughout the whole process.
Not long after, Ling Hao's body shook, and internal strength once again emerged in the dantian, and spread to all four limbs.
Fourth Order of the Body Refining Realm!
The body that had absorbed the internal strength began to heat up for a while, and the frequency of the blood thorns that entangled the body became more and more crazy, and the dark cyan liquid that overflowed became more and more numerous, and it was constantly absorbed by Ling Hao's body.
Ling Hao clearly felt that his body was constantly getting stronger at a speed that he could clearly feel, and the speed at which his body was getting stronger and faster to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was also getting faster and faster.
The whole process lasted almost three hours.
Three hours later, twilight fell, and Ling Hao slowly finished his work.
Cultivation, has been steadily promoted to the fifth order of the body refining realm.
The bloody thorns that had wrapped around the body had turned into a pile of rotten leaves, and the long sharp thorns of the steel needles had also fallen off at this moment. Ling Hao saw that there was not a trace of wound on the surface of his body, and nodded with satisfaction.
He clenched his fists, and all he felt was full of power.
Now let him face Zhong Long, he no longer needs to use his martial arts to enhance the power of his martial arts with the characteristics of the five elements of the Great Five Elements Yin and Yang Wheel and the five elements. All it takes is one hand, and the strength of the flesh alone can cripple it.
The effect is so remarkable!
"It's a pity that this method can only be used three times at most, and after three times, the body will become resistant to the medicinal power of the blood thorns, and it will have no effect. ”
"However, while strengthening the body with blood thorns, the cultivation has also improved by two small realms. Ling Hao muttered, "And this flesh-strengthening effect is much stronger than expected." ”
"Could it be because of the Great Five Elements Yin Yang Chakra and the Five Elements Formula?"
Although thinking about this matter in his heart, Ling Hao's hand movements were not slow at all.
Counting the time, it's almost time for my sister to come back. Gotta clean up the room before she comes back.
After washing his body briefly, he moved the water tank back to its place, and was cleaning up the long thorns that had fallen off the bloody thorns, when he heard a loud "bang" in the yard, followed by a noise.
"That's where the waste lives, right?"
"That's right, Brother Pan, I've inquired, this is it. There is only one crippled mute in their family, and his sister works as a maid in the Zhang family and has not yet returned. I heard that his sister is beautiful. ”
"Ling Hao, you shit, hurry up and get out of here to see Brother Pan!"
"Hahaha, I guess I know that Brother Pan will be coming, and he is hiding in the house to pee his pants, right?"
......
Ling Hao's face turned cold all of a sudden.
He heard Zhong Bin and Zhong Li's voices.
These two doglegs not only didn't clamp their tails properly, but found someone to deal with me?
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer appeared on Ling Hao's face.
But what if you find someone?
I've just been strengthened by the Blood Thorn Enhancement Method, so I'm just going to try the effect with you!
Now that his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm, and his physical strength has also reached the requirements, he should be able to try the combat methods exclusive to the pharmacist!
Thinking of this, the corners of Ling Hao's mouth lifted a very cold arc and walked out of the room.
