Back in the cottage, looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhou Chen's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a few moments, the dark pupils of the eyes deepened.

I'm going to be stronger! What happened today will never make it happen a second time, never ......

For the first time, Zhou Chen's heart had such a strong desire, everything that happened today touched his heart, and the kind of desire buried in his heart exploded at the moment when the jade pendant was about to be destroyed today.

He used to think that as long as he did not quarrel with the world and did not ask for things that did not belong to him, he could live a very happy life and live a peaceful life.

But he was wrong, completely wrong, this world is much crueler than he thought, and if he wants to live in this world, strength is the guarantee.

For a long time, Zhou Chen's eyes were firm, and the previous trace of immaturity completely faded in an instant, adding a little more tenacity of a teenager.

Three days later, in front of a hill in the cottage.

Zhou Chen opened the scroll of Qi Collapse Palm and studied it carefully.

Qi collapses the palm, the lower grade martial arts, and the cultivation method: the internal force bursts out at the palm of the palm, and the point breaks through the face and collapses the mountain and slashes the stone.

After a while, Zhou Chen took a deep breath and began to practice. Mobilizing the six internal forces in his body, he converged towards his hands, and then slapped out his palms.

Be quiet!

The palm of his hand slapped out, and the stone wall in front of him did not react at all. Zhou Chen's face was calm, and he repeated the previous action again,

No response.

No response.

......

No response.

He swung nine palms in a row, but the stone wall in front of him still did not react.

Nine consecutive palm swings were all failures, which couldn't help but make Zhou Chen frown, every time he waved his palm, the internal force condensed in his palm suddenly dispersed when it was about to explode, causing the internal force to not be able to concentrate a little.

If you want to refine your Qi Collapse Palm, you must have enough control over your internal forces.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chen did not continue to cultivate Qi Collapse Palm, but condensed his mind and practiced controlling his internal force.

At the moment when he was about to explode with his palm, he could clearly feel that the internal force was not under his control, and then the internal force that converged at one point dispersed, causing the Qi Collapse Palm to fail.

Two hours later, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he got up and slapped the stone wall beside him.

Bang!

A palm fell, only to hear a muffled sound, and a few stones fell from the stone wall in front of him.

"It worked!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and finally succeeded. Several more attempts were made, and each time a sound came out, each time louder and louder.

Looking at the stones that fell to the ground, Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction, and finally practiced, although he could not have the ability to collapse mountains and cut stones as written on the scroll, but Zhou Chen believed that as long as his internal strength was improved, the power of qi collapse would naturally increase.

Feeling the little internal force left in his dantian, Zhou Chen was a little helpless, his internal force was still too shallow, if he exerted his qi collapse palm with all his strength, he could only use it three times at most, and the internal force in his body would be exhausted.

It seems that you have to cultivate your internal strength well, and strive to reach the acquired realm as soon as possible, and then you will be able to cultivate the exercises, and it will be much easier to cultivate your internal strength.

After taking care of the essentials in the medicine garden, Zhou Chen returned to the room and began to cultivate. Zhu Lao has never come back during this time, and he is still staying in the Vientiane Sect, and as far as Zhou Chen knows, the sect master of the Vientiane Sect seems to have been seriously injured.

The time in the cottage always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month passes.

In the room, Zhou Chen's eyes were closed, and he made a virtual gesture of grasping something in his hand.

Rise!

The voice fell, and a vase placed on the table slowly rose, and staggered to him under Zhou Chen's control.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the vase suspended in front of him, his face unconsciously had joy, and he had finally practiced the Ding Technique.

The Controlling Ding Technique is a middle-grade martial art, and it is much more difficult to cultivate than the lower-grade Qi Collapse Palm, and it also has the requirement of internal force, and it must reach forty-three internal forces to cultivate.

After a month of cultivation and taking some medicinal herbs, Zhou Chen's internal strength soared to forty-three Dao, and he was one step closer to the Heavenly Realm.

Putting away the vase, Zhou Chen finished his cultivation with a satisfied smile on his face.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Zhou Chen saw Zhu Lao.

"Teacher, you're back!" Seeing Zhu Lao come back, Zhou Chen's face was overjoyed.

At this time, Zhu Lao was tired on his face, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little more, he saw Zhou Chen, smiled slightly, and said: "How is a person doing in the grass hall recently, has the medical skills fallen." ”

"Nope. Zhou Chen shook his head obediently, and then asked, "Teacher, what's wrong with you." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Chen helped the somewhat weak Zhu Lao. Zhu Lao smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "The old bones can't stand the toss, and it's only been a few days." ”

He was about to leave when he helped Zhu Lao into the room, only to hear Zhu Lao stop Zhou Chen and say, "Zhou Chen, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter, teacher?" asked Zhou Chen.

Elder Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "You have been in the Vientiane Sect for so many years, have you ever heard of the Qingteng Hunting!"

"Qingteng Hunting!"

Zhou Chen nodded, he had heard of Qingteng hunting after coming to Vientiane Sect for so many years. It was the largest competition in the entire Moyang County, a hunting competition held every three years, and all the powerful sects of Moyang County could participate.

Zhu Lao continued: "In two months, the Qingteng hunt will begin, our grass hall used to be your senior brother to participate, and now your senior brother is out to practice, and he can't participate in this Qingteng hunt, but in order to protect the disciples who are injured in the competition, we need the disciples of our grass hall to participate in the timely rescue for those injured disciples, so now we need you to participate in this Qingteng hunt." ”

After speaking, Zhu Lao looked at Zhou Chen, saw that Zhou Chen was silent and said: "Your situation is special, if you don't want to go, I won't force you." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Chen spoke: "Teacher, I'll go." ”

"You can think about it, Qingteng hunting is full of dangers. Zhu Lao reminded.

Zhou Chen nodded, his eyes were firm, and he agreed to this hunt.

I have some thoughts in my heart, and I can just use the hunting competition to train myself and improve my actual combat ability.

If this was placed before his dantian was repaired, he would definitely not agree, he heard the senior brother mention Qingteng hunting, after the hunting began, not only to guard against demon beasts, but also to guard against people from other forces, it was very dangerous.

Seeing Zhou Chen's firm gaze, Zhu Lao nodded and didn't say anything, but a trace of pity flashed in the depths of his eyes, if Zhou Chen could cultivate, he would definitely be a good seedling.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Lao took out a yellowed book and said: "There may be dangers everywhere in Qingteng's hunting, in order to let you have a means to save your life, I will hand over this poison scripture to you, and teach you the art of poison from now on." ”

Looking at the poison scripture handed over by Zhu Lao, Zhou Chen's gaze was slightly complicated, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Lao's gaze a little more.

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhou Chen nodded respectfully.

Then Zhu Lao said: "Before I teach you to use poison, you must swear that the poison art you have learned must not be used to harm people, and it cannot be used to do things that hurt nature and reason." ”
