From this day on, Xiao Ziyang lived in Longkou Town with peace of mind, he seemed to have forgotten the ghost house around him, forgot the family feud, and never went to the house that was close at hand, and he didn't even want to look at it more.

The hatred in his heart has not been forgotten because of time, but has fermented in his chest like old wine, and it is precisely because of the bitter hatred that he has become calmer and more careful.

He stopped pursuing the truth, because he knew that when his strength was insufficient, approaching the truth meant approaching danger and death.

In the days that followed, Xiao Ziyang began a period of arduous cultivation that he didn't even want to recall.

There are dozens of sets of movements in the nine chapters before and after "Purple Jade Smoke", which are entirely created for the purpose of exercising the body, without any attack and fighting function.

These movements, combined with some special breathing techniques, have magical functions, they can tap the potential of cultivators at an incredibly fast speed, and in the process, they will also produce suffering that ordinary people cannot bear! The longer a cultivator persists in this kind of inhuman suffering, the more obvious the effect will be.

Xiao Ziyang's cultivation of the second and third chapters of "Purple Jade Smoke" was no longer than that of the first chapter, but the hard work in it was far from being comparable to the first chapter, and the results obtained were far from being comparable to the first chapter.

When cultivating the second chapter, in addition to the same medicinal diet as in the first chapter, it is also necessary to take specific decoctions before and after cultivation to better stimulate the body's potential and repair the damage caused by the body's rapid force.

Chapter 3: In addition to the combination of medicinal diet and decoction, it is also necessary to take a medicinal bath. Because taking the decoction internally is no longer enough to repair the damage of the body under great pressure.

When cultivating in the second chapter, Xiao Ziyang found that his body had undergone some changes that he couldn't understand, his weight was constantly increasing due to his daily high-intensity cultivation and large intake of meat, but his body did not become more burly. Every muscle in his body is slowly becoming as solid as steel cast iron!

This change was even more pronounced when he practiced the third chapter, his weight was constantly increasing, but his body was gradually losing weight! At the same time, his dark and rough skin became white and soft with the daily medicinal bath!

When he finished cultivating the third chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke", his appearance changed dramatically again!

If Xiao Ziyang was like an iron tower half a year ago, now he is like a straight steel gun! tall and slightly emaciated.

When the rough and dark skin on his face receded, he finally revealed his true face, a pair of eyebrows showed his heavy true color after his face was white and soft, and a pair of large eyes that were slightly sunk into the sockets were deep and impressing.

The straight, tall and slightly hooked nose made his already hard lines, like a knife and axe cutting face, and a slightly wide mouth with thin lips made him look steady and majestic.

Even if his face was white and pink like a baby, it couldn't dilute half a point of the strength on his face like a northern snowstorm!

At this time, Xiao Ziyang's slightly emaciated body contained a huge amount of strength far beyond people's imagination, and there was actually 4,000 catties of strength between his arms at this time! The small tree with a thick bowl mouth in the courtyard could be uprooted with a little force! This kind of strength has surpassed the extreme that can be achieved by foreign kung fu.

At the same time, his weight did not match his appearance at all, and his slightly thin body weighed five hundred pounds!

The big tree hugged by one person couldn't help him hit it with all his strength, and with such a huge impact force, if ordinary people had broken their tendons and fractures, he was unscathed.

The trees were so thick that he couldn't help but sweep his legs, and such a large kick force would not cause any damage to his leg bones.

He once slashed at his chest with a chopping knife, and even if he used 500 catties of strength, it would only leave a white mark! If it was a stabbing blow, it would only be able to penetrate the flesh by an inch, and his steel-like muscles would naturally be caught and unable to go deeper.

Different from ordinary horizontal kung fu, Xiao Ziyang's body is essentially stronger, rather than like horizontal kung fu that needs a breath to support, and he must be prepared before accepting attacks, and those who practice horizontal kung fu are actually the most afraid of sneak attacks. Xiao Ziyang's body will not change in the slightest even in his sleep.

The huge change in Xiao Ziyang's appearance made him complacent in the mirror, but also brought him a crisis. Now rumors about him are spreading in Longkou Town!

At the beginning, in order not to attract the attention of others, he bought a carriage, and every few days, he drove the carriage to Zhongshan City to buy medicinal herbs and meat, and the townspeople did not notice that it was wrong.

But when his appearance changed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and attracted people's attention, his actions could not be concealed from suspicious people.

Soon, everyone knew that he would buy back more than a dozen medicinal herbs and dozens of catties of various meats from Zhongshan City every few days!

Some people speculated that Xiao Ziyang had an incurable disease, and the reason why he came here was probably because this incurable disease might be contagious, and in order not to harm the villagers, he chose Longkou Town!

And some people speculate that Xiao Ziyang is probably a monster, how can a person eat more than ten catties of meat every day!

The rumors caused panic in the town of Longkou!

Xiao Ziyang, who had already noticed it, left Longkou Town in a carriage late at night after practicing the third chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke".

............

Chunan County is a well-known poor mountain and bad water in Chuzhou, and even the entire Xiliang, and the entire Chunan County has no flat land except for the Shangyuan Basin where the county seat Shangyuan City is located.

The Shangyuan Basin is not large, with a radius of only 300 miles, but it is very famous here because it is rich in a kind of excellent rice called "Shangyuan Zhu".

Shangyuanzhu is known as the first fragrant rice in Xiliang, and its rice grains are round, which is completely different from the long strip shape of other rice, and this kind of rice is as crystal clear as it is washed after washing.

No matter whether this kind of rice is made into porridge or cooked, it has a very special sweetness, and it has a smooth and slightly tough taste, which is highly sought after by the rich and powerful in Xiliang.

Shangyuan Zhu has always been an indispensable tribute on the table of the Xiliang royal family, so it has the title of "Tribute Pearl".

I don't know why, once the "Shangyuan Pearl" leaves the Shangyuan Basin and is planted elsewhere, the shape and taste will immediately change greatly, and the original fragrance will not be restored, which makes this tribute even more valuable.

There is such a saying in Chunan County, "One hundred taels of silver in Chunan, ninety-nine taels in Shangyuan!"

Southern Chu is barren and famous for Xiliang, but this by no means includes the land of the three counties of Shangyuan.
