Chapter 15: Ah Xiong

After entering the Qinling Mountains again, Tian Xu first came to the cultivation cave that Aunt Xu gave her, and continued to cultivate in it for three days. During these three days, he barely rested, cultivating day and night, until the aura in his body went up a step again, and then it came to an end.

After a few days, he was already a little tired of this place, facing the same hillside every day, and the aura fluctuations in the air had never changed, it was really a boring thing. After finishing his cultivation that day, he went to the outside of the cave and made himself a hearty dinner.

After eating, Tian Xu closed the cave and set off at night.

Before entering the mountain this time, Tian Xu considered that his combat skills were too lacking, and there were almost no effective methods except for a sneak attack of the Qingyu Soft Sword, so he made a batch of flying knives for himself. The flying knife is cut from a spring steel plate wire and is 5 mm thick, 2 cm wide and 8 cm long. The front end of the knife body is open, the back end is similar to the swallowtail shape, and a round hole is opened in the middle of the rear to facilitate the knife. It is said to be a flying knife, but in fact it is more like a shuttle.

The saber that his father had given him had already been discarded in the process of fleeing, and even if he did not discard it, it would be difficult for him to use the Tai Chi swordsmanship he had practiced to meet the enemy. He simply gave up his swordsmanship and used Wen Yihe's thin knife instead.

Wen Yihe's knife technique using the thin knife is light and fast, and the moves are weird, so that the opponent can't scratch his head. Especially when it comes to sneak attacks, it's even more powerful. Tian Xu didn't have such a knife technique as him, so he tried to use it according to his own understanding.

This thin knife is extremely lightweight, only a little more than half a catty, but it is extremely sharp. Tian Xu's usage is to infuse the aura in his body into the knife, and directly slash out with one knife, so that the speed of the attack can reach the fastest. He believed that as long as his attack was sharp enough, the other party would definitely not ignore it.

He created this set of "knife techniques" with a total of five moves, namely up chop, horizontal slash, down pry, straight stab and cross cut, each move has not changed, just go all out, attack one point, five moves alternately. There were no defensive moves in it, and he believed that with his reflexes and the strength of this fluttering thin knife, defending was no different from seeking death.

It is worth mentioning that he practiced this thin knife with his left hand. During this time, his right arm was injured and he had gradually become accustomed to using his left hand. And his speed is too slow, and there will be no advantage in using his right hand, it is better to use the more stupid left hand directly, and his "knife technique" that does not pursue change is also suitable for the left hand.

Throwing knives are practiced with both hands at the same time. In the beginning, throwing knives were neither accurate nor powerful, and they often somersaulted in the air, and it was not uncommon for the blade to hit targets on the hilt or side. After a period of exploration, he switched to using his index finger and middle finger or middle finger and ring finger to clamp the knife and throw it out, so that the direction of the knife could be effectively controlled. Then he began to try to infuse the aura into the flying knife, but it was difficult to do so, once the flying knife left his hand, the aura infused on it would automatically dissipate and return to his body. It wasn't until he finally figured out a way to start the aura from the dantian part, accelerate it through the meridians to reach the fingers, and then infuse it on the flying knife, that he solved this problem.

The speed of the throwing knife infused with spiritual energy is much faster, and the power is also amazing, and it can even shoot into the rock, completely submerging. If you shoot at a large tree, you can shoot through an elm tree more than a foot thick at a distance of ten meters. With such power, it can already pose a fatal threat to the opponent of the Qi Gathering Realm.

There are just two more issues that need to be addressed. One is the problem of accuracy, no matter how powerful the flying knife is, if it can't hit the enemy, it's useless, isn't it? And now Tian Xu shoots at a target with a diameter of one foot at a distance of 10 meters, and the hit rate is only six or seven percent. If it is changed to a target of ten centimeters, the hit rate does not exceed 30%. It's a bit unreasonable.

Another problem is the issue of sound. When flying at high speed, the throwing knife emits a sharp and loud whistling sound, as a hidden weapon, is this a demonstration to people? He tried to change the method of firing and the way the aura operated, but it had no effect at all. This sound simply cannot be eliminated unless the firing speed is reduced. Even when the speed is reduced, the sound is only reduced, not non-existent. This reduced the sound in the future, and in the ears of the Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, it was also like thunder, such a slowdown was completely meaningless, it was better to ignore the howling sound and launch it directly at high speed.

Later, he tried to change the shape of the throwing knife, but it worked. Finally, when he changed the knife to resemble a fish, the sound decreased significantly. The two sharp corners of the tail were rounded, and the holes were changed to grind a smooth depression on each side, and the sound was finally reduced to an acceptable level.

Inspired by this sound, Tian Xu also figured out a rather confusing flying knife firing technique. It is to use loud low-speed knives to cover up the existence of silent high-speed knives, although they have not been in actual combat, but he estimates that this method should be effective.

Tian Xu groped for the use of flying knives in the mountains, and half a month passed unconsciously. In this half-month of practice, the accuracy of the flying knife has also improved significantly. Although it is not said that there are 100 shots and 100 hits, but if you hit a 10-centimeter target at 10 meters, you may not miss the target once out of 10 times.

In the past half a month, the twenty flying knives he had made were either damaged or lost, and only four were consumed, so he decided to go out of the mountain and process a batch of finalized flying knives. In addition, he also needs to replenish some consumables such as food.

He didn't expect that this yin and yang trick coupled with a super sense of smell would absorb the aura a little frighteningly fast. It turned out that his four senior brothers, the Qi Gathering Realm were Dacheng, Eighth Order, Fourth Order, and Sixth Order, and he still had an intuitive understanding of the strength of each stage. But now, less than a month after cultivating the Yin and Yang Technique, he felt that his strength should have surpassed the sixth order of the fourth senior brother. In other words, as long as he didn't meet a Qi Gathering Achiever like Senior Brother, he would have the strength to fight against any cultivator below Ning Dan.

However, there is another thing that makes Tian Xu feel a little depressed, his good luck seems to have run out, this time he stayed in the Qinling Mountains for more than half a month, he didn't find a single elixir, it seems that the elixir is indeed quite rare.

He had met cultivators a few times, but he had avoided them from afar, and it was the king to hurry up and absorb the aura and improve his realm, and unnecessary troubles could still be avoided.

After returning to Qin City, Tian Xu took a look at the cultivation network, and Aunt Xu really went to the Ruyi Sword Gate. The Ruyi Sword Sect invited three Ning Dan masters from the Jade Buddha Temple and the Eight Immortal Sect to help, plus the two Ning Dan monks in their own gate, they still couldn't stop Aunt Xu's spell. The Ruyi Sword Sect participated in the planning to attack a Ning Dan Seventh Order of the Tian Clan's Taiji Gate, and the four Qi Gathering Masters were killed at the same time, and the other people who did not participate were unscathed, but they could not stop Aunt Xu's attack.

In addition, the Kunlun sect issued a disciple summoning order on the cultivation network, summoning all the inner disciples outside to return to the mountain to prepare for the cultivation bazaar.

There is still no news about Tian Xu's bounty, and it is estimated that there will be no result.

In addition, these days on the cultivation network, he found a name that is often mentioned by everyone—Kitatang. This seems to be an institution specializing in dealing in various cultivation resources, everyone is more dependent on them, many elixirs or pills are sold here, and there are more weapons, talismans, array weapons and so on, it seems that they have their own sources.

There is no physical store in this Xiduotang, and Tian Xu found the phone number of the person in charge of Qin City on the Internet. The person in charge is named Ah Xiong, but he has the same nickname as one of his classmates when he was in college.

He tried to dial Ah Xiong's phone, and a familiar voice came from the phone: "Hello, this is Kitado, I'm Ah Xiong." ”

"It's really Ah Xiong, I'm Tian Xu. Tian Xu was a little surprised. When he was in college, he didn't have much interaction with other classmates in the class, only this Ah Xiong, although he was not in the same dormitory, he had a good conversation with him. At that time, Ah Xiong was the sports committee member of the class, and Ah Xiong organized the students to participate in the annual sports meeting. Ah Xiong's surname is Xiong, he is tall and strong, and his appearance is like a big brown bear, but he also deserves this nickname. And Tian Xu inherited part of his father's sports genes, long-distance running is very good, exercising every morning, the two are always together, and they become friends, but I didn't expect this guy to be a person in the cultivation world.

"Tian Xu?" Ah Xiong was also a little surprised, "Are you really Tian Xu of the legendary Tian Clan's Taiji Gate?"

"Hehe, my talent has disgraced my father's prestige in vain, and there is no one like me. Tian Xu didn't care too much about the poor talent, and asked: "I didn't expect that you are also in the cultivation world, are you in the Qin capital now? Is it convenient to meet in the past two days? I have something here that I want to sell." ”

"Which of us brothers is with whom, do we have something to meet?" So, now it's convenient for you? Where you are, I'll look for you. "Ah Xiong is still the same as when he was in college, and the intimacy of his old classmates is not at all.

Half an hour later, Ah Xiong appeared at Tian Xu's house. At that time, Aunt Zhou had just come over to do hygiene, and Tian Xu asked her to go back for some reason.

At this time, Tian Xu was no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, and after meeting, he found that this Ah Xiong had reached the realm of gathering qi at a high level, and he was definitely at least two small realms higher than himself.

Let Ah Xiong into the house, and the two talked about their recent experiences after graduation, sighing. Especially recently, Tian Xu lost his parents and brothers one after another, and then was hunted down, until Aunt Xu appeared, which gave him a backer and a temporary breather. And the elders of Ah Xiong's family are the top leaders of Kitatang, who have been serving in Kitatang since before he graduated, and now he has been promoted to the head of Qindu City.

Speaking of Kitatang, Ah Xiong was extremely proud, and introduced the business scope of Kitatang to Tian Xu, in fact, it was similar to what Tian Xu imagined, they bought all kinds of cultivation resources, and also sold these resources, and gave away the difference from them to supply the cultivation materials of the sect. The risk of doing this business is quite large, so many precious resources come and go in the hands, if you want not to make people blush, you definitely need strong strength as a backing. However, according to Ah Xiong, they buy and sell fairly, and Tong Su is not bullied, and only makes some hard-earned money. But there is no one who dares to do anything to them. It can be seen that the strength behind this Kitado should not be low, and it is estimated that it will not be weaker than the Kunlun faction.

After the greetings, Ah Xiong asked Tian Xu what he wanted to sell, and Tian Xu took out several pills that he had snatched from Wen Yihe.
