Chapter 14: Careful Calculation
The desert wind and sand are like knives, and the sand grains in this red sand land are more like fine soldering irons, the kind of soldering iron that has been burned red, and only thin clothes cannot isolate its heat.
And because of the high-pitched terrain, gusts of wind kept blowing in the face, all of which turned into hot air waves, and the pavement hit, making people's most basic breathing extremely difficult.
But this is not the saddest, those fine grains of sand like a soldering iron, wrapped in the air by the gale, rampage, like frying chestnuts in an iron pot, the sand grains act as iron stones, and Shen Chai is the chestnut to be ripe in it.
The reason for such a terrifying and extreme environment may not only be the special geographical topography, but also the sun of Tianchen, focusing on a subtle point on the continent for a long time, like a candle refracted into the room, there must be a point, which is the brightest in the room.
Less than half a moment after entering this red sand land, Shen Chai's whole body was already red, like cooked dried shrimp, and his eyes had begun to blur, and he might soon be dizzy, or even faint and fall.
Feeling that he was on the verge of collapse, Shen Chai immediately made a decision, immediately retreated, turned over the rock behind him, sat down at the edge, and took out a bottle of secret medicine, half of which was taken orally and half evenly applied to his body.
In the blink of an eye, those red skin "cooled" down and became normal, and it seemed that the muscles and bones were also slightly strengthened, and Shen Chai could faintly feel this change.
After meditating and absorbing for half a moment, Shen Chai did not hesitate and stepped in again.
Repeatedly, step by step, little by little, to adapt to the temperature inside, there will be no great danger, and the effect of the secret medicine can be completely volatilized.
The so-called refining of the body, naturally, is to pay attention to breaking and standing, or to exhaust and continue, every time you reach the limit of the body, and then break through, and keep grinding and tempering, in order to produce results.
Undoubtedly, a person who can achieve great success in physical refining must be a person with a strong mind and perseverance, and Shen Chai in his previous life was not only talented, but also far superior in character, otherwise how could he win the name of the first person of his generation.
Therefore, even if the pain of being burned is unbearable every time, and the blood of the outer skin cut by the sand and gravel is like an infusion, it is still stepping into it again and again, which is indomitable.
Two hours have passed in a blink of an eye, the sun above his head is still fierce, the red sand is still hot, and Shen Chai's thin body has been able to stand steady in the back and forth grinding.
Then the boy firmly set up his horse in the heat wave rolling stones, so as to resist this extremely evil realm, and finally entered the right path of this journey.
......
The Desert Sword City in the distance seemed to be getting more and more lively, and as the date of the trial conference advanced, more and more people poured in, making this remote cultivator holy place almost overcrowded.
It stands to reason that even if there are many young people who come here for the Sword Saint, or want to participate in the trial meeting, or come to see the excitement, they should not be so loud. After all, in the final analysis, this is just a competition for the Sword Emperor to recruit his own disciples, and it is neither a happy birthday nor a grand event with great influence.
From this point of view, those adults who have emerged one by one, the adult generation, and even many familiar faces who have been famous on the mainland for a long time, are mixed in, and their purpose is unpredictable and interesting.
And on the street, some people who covered their faces, covered their figures, and didn't dare to reveal their identities unconsciously increased.
The undercurrent under Desert Knife City is getting more and more turbulent, invisible and inaudible, but like the sultry heat and tranquility before the storm, but the signs can be felt.
"Shh
On Chengxi Street, on the second floor of a teahouse with a width of two feet on the side of the road, a man with clear eyes looked at the bustling crowd outside the window and spit lightly.
"Sure enough, it's still so annoying here. ”
The woman sitting across from her was closing her eyes and recuperating, as if she was waiting for something, and when she heard his words, she said indifferently: "So what, this is the holy place in his heart, and it is also the place where he became famous, remember to try to avoid conflict with him this time, just find the little fish and bring it back quickly." ”
Hearing this, the man by the window clenched his teeth, and his hands under the table involuntarily clenched, as if he had some deep hatred with that person.
Sensing his abnormality, the cold woman who covered her face with a light veil frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
There are a few people standing behind each of them, who seem to be their subordinates or disciples, all of whom are dressed in green clothes and blue belts, with delicate eyebrows and good temperament.
And among the people in this group, the breath revealed by any one made passers-by shocked, causing the entire second floor to be empty, and no one wanted to sit with them, or dare to listen to anything, which was really a taste that could not be avoided.
The Sword Emperor left mysteriously, I don't know what to do, and the nameless shop on the other side has long been closed.
The black-faced shopkeeper was sitting in a secret room in the middle of nowhere, his shirt was faded, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down, and next to him was a basin of pale green liquid.
What was frightening was that the bare chest, nay, the entire exposed upper body, was covered with all kinds of hideous and terrible scars, twisted and criss-crossed, innumerable, all old scars, but extremely red, like mottled red plum roots.
That basin of liquid should have been soaked, otherwise it wouldn't look so light.
However, the beads of sweat on Xiong Yan's head became more and more during the condensation exercises, and they were like rain, until half an hour later, a mouthful of blood finally couldn't help but spurt out, and then he stopped.
"No, even if it's a spirit jade liquid, it won't help. Xiong Yan yelled, looking a little angry.
"I've said it a long time ago, this is just the basic quenching fluid of the Barbarian Star Palace, even if it fits your exercises, it won't be able to repair that kind of injury. A tall and thin man walked in from outside the secret room, looked at Xiong Yan and shook his head and said.
"Unless the kid who gave you the medicine can still refine a higher-order ten thousand secretions!"
Xiong Yan looked up at the man and smiled, "Don't worry, he will come to me in two days." ”
......
Two days passed quickly, and there was still no figure in the desert, and the scorching heat of the red sand was gradually overcome by the young man, and even the sand and gravel that flew in the air, hitting everywhere with the hot air waves, could no longer cut through the surface of Shen Chai's tempered skin.
The boy had been able to stay in it for a long time, but he had to leave and return, because the secret medicine in his body had been depleted, and it would be useless to hold on any longer.
That's right, Xiong Yan introduced Shen Chai to an excellent place for refining bodies, but the ferocity of this extremely evil place has far exceeded the endurance of ordinary body refiners, so the secret medicine is consumed extremely quickly, and this also happens to fall into Xiong Yan's calculations.
He is the only one in the city who can gather the medicinal materials for refining the spirit jade liquid, because as early as a few years ago, Xiong Yan had collected most of the medicinal materials for refining this medicine in the Desert Sword City, so Shen Chased back and would inevitably look for him, and he could only look for him.
As for why Xiong Yan was able to see Shen Chai so thoroughly in the first time he saw him, there were nothing more than three points: first, he was familiar with the materials needed for the spiritual jade liquid, second, he knew the purpose of the spiritual jade liquid, and third, he made delicate and meticulous observations.
All of the above is indispensable.
