Chapter Seventy-Two: Condensing Medicine into a Pill (The First Update Seeks Attention)
"When Grandpa and I have cultivated it, sooner or later I will get rid of all you scum......" Zhong Mang's cracked and swollen lips squirmed, and as soon as he said a word, a large pool of blood leaked out.
"Since you are looking for death yourself, then you can't blame anyone else. The muscles on the captain's face twitched, and in the midst of the surge of killing intent, he slowly drew the long sword at his waist, and then quickly slashed down.
"If you dare to hurt him again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Suddenly, a voice reached the captain's ears through his psychic sense.
The captain's body stiffened, and the sharp sword came to a near halt less than an inch above Zhong Mang's head.
He turned his head vigilantly to look around, but saw that there were ordinary people all around, and the aura on everyone's body was very weak. But his heart tightened at this moment.
Being able to hide in the crowd and not be discovered by oneself means that the cultivation of the person who transmits the sound is at least a lot higher than himself. It's just that I don't know why such a master would defend Zhong Mang, a simple-minded reckless man, for no reason......
The captain was also a smart man, since he knew that he couldn't provoke the other party, he immediately slowly withdrew his long sword, and didn't care about Zhong Mang, who was still scolding in a low voice, just waved his hand at the group of soldiers, and then led the team to quickly pass through the separated crowd, and left the place in a hurry.
The onlookers were confused, wondering why the soldiers had left suddenly. However, it is naturally a good thing that they are willing to go, at least the life of this young man Zhong Mang can be regarded as being picked up.
When the soldiers were far away, a few well-wishers stepped forward boldly and helped Zhong Mang back to the edge of the medicine stall.
As soon as Zhong Mang sat down against the wall, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Then with his trembling big hands, he grabbed a few elixirs on the stall indiscriminately, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them with difficulty.
People didn't pay too much attention to the injured Zhong Mang, and the people who originally stopped to watch saw that there was no excitement to see, and they were busy with their own things.
After a while, the surrounding area was again noisy.
After sitting on the spot for a while, Zhong Mang moved his body, got up with difficulty, and limped to a deserted alley next to him.
"Ah Chong, let's go. It was getting dark, so let's go eat the noodles first, and then let's go to a farmhouse for the night. Although Fourth Uncle Li also sympathized with Zhong Mang, he didn't understand medical Taoism, and secondly, he couldn't take care of people, and he couldn't help Zhong Mang, who was covered in injuries. He saw that Shen Chong had been staring at each other, so he came over and pulled Shen Chong's clothes and reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh, by the way, Fourth Uncle, you go to the front noodle shop and wait for me first, and I'll go to the thatched house first. Shen Chong casually made an excuse and ran away.
Zhong Mang's injury was not light, and he staggered to the uninhabited alley, and when he couldn't help it, he spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood again, and the whole person sat on the ground weakly.
The setting sun shone through the low wall on Zhong Mang's face, making him unable to open his eyes. He tried to block it with his hand, but his hand only shook a little, and he didn't even have the strength to lift it.
Suddenly, a young voice rang out. "You were so reckless that you almost lost your life because of your impulsiveness. ”
Zhong Mang looked, but saw a figure blocking the sunlight and standing in front of him. But the other party's face, because of the backlight, can't be seen clearly at all.
Zhong Mang spat out a mouthful of blood foam and smiled weakly: "I know that if it is not their opponent, it may even die." But if I don't rush out because I'm scared, it's worse than killing me. You won't understand this kind of feeling......"
Zhong Mang's younger brother was trampled to death by the iron hooves of the officers and soldiers because he was playing in the street. Seeing the tragic death of their son, Zhong Mang's parents were heartbroken and grabbed the perpetrator, but were beaten to death by officers and soldiers. These experiences made him jealous and hateful, and he was desperate to become stronger.
"Are you wrong...... I understand!" replied the young voice.
When Zhong Mang heard this, his eyes flashed, and his lips squirmed for a moment, but there was no sound, as if he didn't want to talk to anyone about this issue.
"You want to cultivate the truth, but why don't you join the army, and then you can learn the method of cultivating the truth. You can also do more to protect the people as a soldier. The young voice asked again.
"I want to be strong. Zhong Mang said softly in a somewhat unanswered question: "The army's exercises are quick, but it is not conducive to the future path of cultivation......
The man nodded, as if he was very happy that he had clarified the doubts in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
The person who talked to Zhong Mang was naturally Shen Chong.
From the first time Shen Chong saw Zhong Mang, he could see that the latter's cultivation talent was not weak. Coupled with his performance in what happened just now, Shen Chong was even more determined to help him.
Xingyaomen, because of Xuanji Zhenren's conformism, withered, and even fell to the end of the Nine Gates. Shen Chong has always disagreed with Shizun's strict standards for accepting apprentices, but when he was in the nascent world, because he had to take into account the majesty of his master and the rules of the sect, he couldn't teach it privately. Otherwise, with his relationship with Jin Yan and Fu Wei, I am afraid that he would have taught the exercises of Xingyaomen to the two of them a long time ago.
After coming to the Huangquan Realm, Shen Chong was able to put aside many of his concerns. If before returning to the nascent realm, he can let the Xingyao Sect take root in the other world of the Huangquan realm, and even countless years later, it may become a pivotal cultivation sect in this realm, which has become a small expectation in Shen Chong's heart.
Zhong Mang in front of him is obviously the most suitable candidate in Shen Chong's mind.
In terms of character, Zhong Mang dared to rebel against so many cultivators who were stronger than himself, because he was righteous.
Mentally, it is meticulous not to be blinded by immediate interests, refuse to join the army, and learn the fast-track cultivation exercises.
Physically, he was beaten so violently by a cultivator in the middle stage of enlightenment, and if he was a bystander, he was afraid that he would have died a long time ago, but he was able to withstand it because of his tenacity.
Shen Chong did not hide his admiration for Zhong Mang, and with a wave of his hand, a dry herb appeared in his hand.
The spiritual power in his palm surged, and suddenly turned into a blue-blue flame, and in the whirring burning sound, the pure medicinal power of the herb continued to flow out, and finally converged into a brown round elixir.
With a wave of his hand, a soft Yuan Spiritual Power held the pill and slowly sent it to Zhong Mang.
"You swallow this elixir and meditate for a while, and you will be able to recover a little from your injuries. ”
A pure and rich medicinal power overflowed from the elixir suspended out of thin air.
"Condensing the Pill into a Pill!?" Zhong Mang looked at this scene in a daze, and after a while, he knew that he had met a cultivator, and at the same time, he completely understood why the captain left for no reason just now.
Under the emotion, Zhong Mang couldn't care about his injuries at all, and immediately fell to the ground quickly. "Zhong Mang, the original person of Taifeng in the Shura Kingdom, thank you for the life-saving grace of your predecessors. ”
"Zhong Mang, there is no need to be polite, you take the pill, and we will talk about it after you recover from some injuries. ”
Shen Chong raised his hands and helped him up with soft strength.
Hearing this, Zhong Mang grabbed the pill and put it in his mouth, and then according to what Shen Chong said, he sat quietly and breathed. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
He could feel that after some refining and pranayama, all the medicinal power in the pill had been absorbed by his body, and although the external injuries were still there, the injuries in his body had obviously improved a lot.
At this time, Shen Chong took out the jade piece that Xuanji Zhenren had passed on to him at the beginning, and sent it to Zhong Mang with soft strength: "Zhong Mang, this is my Xingyaomen's cultivation method. If you are willing to enter my Starlight Gate, you can take it. ”
"Xingyaomen?" Zhong Mang was instantly surrounded by great joy, and his whole body was shocked, and he muttered Shen Chong's words.
Shen Chong was amused in his heart, but he pretended to be majestic on the surface, and suddenly aggravated his tone. "Huh, you hesitate, are you unwilling?"
"No! no! I do!" Zhong Mang grabbed the jade piece in a panic and held it tightly in his hand, looking nervous for fear of being taken away.
Shen Chong nodded with a smile and said indifferently: "My Xingyaomen has gone through tribulations and traveled through several mortal realms to achieve today's achievements, and what is most important is the disciple's personality and heart. Zhong Mang, although you have a pure nature and a resolute character, once you embark on the path of cultivation and get the help of heaven, you also need to stick to your heart, and don't tarnish the name of your own sect. When you have made achievements, you can also choose an apprentice according to your situation, and you will definitely carry forward my Xingyaomen. ”
When the new world was born, the Xingyao Sect also paid attention to character and temperament, but took appearance and talent as the primary criteria for selecting apprentices.
Unexpectedly, Shen Chong privately taught apprentices in this other world, and even the purpose of his own sect was changed by him. However, who can say that the original criteria for selecting apprentices from Xingyaomen were correct, and Shen Chong's criteria for focusing on heart and character were wrong?
The so-called standards are just set by each Xiuzhen sect itself. After all, in the entire history of the cultivation realm, it is not uncommon for those people who are dull in talent and have no talent to rely on chance and hard work to eventually succeed in cultivation and even become a grandmaster.
"It's the master, the disciple must keep it in mind. Zhong Mang's huge body lay on the spot and kowtowed respectfully to Shen Chong.
"Alright, get up. This door only kowtows at the entrance, and there is no need to be too constrained by these red tapes. ”
After all, Shen Chong is a person from the new world, and he has never been accustomed to these rituals such as kowtowing and bowing.
"Yes!" Zhong Mangyan stood up obediently, and then finally saw the face of the master clearly.
"Ah!?Master, it turns out that you ...... You're the Master?"
Finding that this young master turned out to be a young man who was bargaining with himself in front of the medicine stall, Zhong Mang's expression was not unexciting.
Shen Chong laughed, and the fingers of his raised right hand suddenly emitted a burst of intense light, and then slowly hit the latter's forehead under Zhong Mang's gaze.
Boom! At one point, Zhong Mang only felt a roar in his head. "Walking on the Stars and Picking the Moon" body method, hidden spell ...... Countless huge pieces of information, completely ignoring the resistance of the will, instantly poured into his mind from his forehead.
