Chapter 114: Method of Refining Strength
"Ahem, sir, let me see her..." Liu Xiaoqiang looked uneasy.
Although Liu Xiaoqiang is now a martial arts apprentice of the Niubi level, he is still not as knowledgeable as Cui. In his eyes, the Taoist nun is naturally a first-class figure like a fairy.
"One day, if you have cultivated your martial arts to an extremely high level, you will also be able to ride a strange beast and perform tricks like her!" Qin Ziling interrupted.
"Is that a strange beast? Not a fairy beast?" Liu Xiaoqiang looked surprised.
"Its eyes don't even have any spirituality, how can it be called a fairy beast? It's just a tamed beast!" Qin Ziling curled his lips.
After that, Qin Ziling suddenly sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it. In the eyes of ordinary people, Qi Refiners are not much different from Immortals. Let's not talk about this issue. Go on."
"Yes, sir." Liu Xiaoqiang bowed slightly and continued, "Miss Ran Yue naturally refused, saying that her Qi Refining Method was taught by you, and that she was yours, and she knelt down and begged the fairy... that woman not to take her away.
The woman refused at first, but then the lady was also alarmed and came out to beg. The woman agreed to wait for you to come back and see if you have spiritual roots. If you do, she will take you and your wife with her because the Qin family raised Miss Ran Yue. What happened next is what you saw, young master. "
After Qin Ziling finished listening, the scene of Yin Ranyue and her mother begging for mercy emerged involuntarily in his mind, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a while, Qin Ziling calmed down again and asked, "What's the situation in the backyard?"
"Everything is fine. Three phantom lizard beasts have hatched from the three eggs. The three cubs are currently the size of mice. In the first few days after hatching, they did not run around and followed the mother beast closely.
But in the past two days, when I opened the door to feed them, they tried to jump out several times, but they were taken back by the mother. I am worried that if they grow bigger, it will be difficult to control them. "Liu Xiaoqiang replied.
"Don't worry about that. I will find a way to tame them. Just remember to feed them every day. I will go check on them now. You can go practice martial arts. You don't need to help the lady.
Ran Yue was suddenly taken away, and she needed to do something to distract herself, and also needed to be alone for a while. "Qin Ziling said a few words, and then went to the backyard alone.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Qin Ziling saw three mouse-sized phantom lizard cubs staring at him, with a hint of murderousness and bloodthirstiness in their eyes.
"Strange beasts are strange beasts, and it's hard to change their vicious nature. Fortunately, I will be back in ten days or so this time. Otherwise, when they grow up a little bit, their mother will not be able to control them. If they escape, they might cause trouble!" Qin Ziling thought to himself. He turned into a shadow and flew across the backyard. In a blink of an eye, he caught the three cubs one by one.
The mother beast was very anxious when she saw this, but she didn't dare to move.
The young beasts did not have much strength yet, and Qin Ziling was too lazy to wait for them to fall asleep, so he knocked them out one by one, and then used the method of sending the soul into dreams, sketching out in the dream that there were Eight Desolate Green Pythons guarding outside and some other scenes.
The cubs' minds were still almost blank. Qin Ziling didn't spend much time to end his method of sending his soul into a dream, and then returned the three cubs to their mother.
The mother beast then calmed down, and the three cubs woke up.
This time, they looked at Qin Ziling and the courtyard gate with fear.
After this operation, Qin Ziling's depressed mood was relieved a lot.
That night, after dinner, Liu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to take on Yinyanyue's work, while Qin Ziling tried to teach Cui's "Green Wood Evergreen Skill".
Although Cui is old and has long passed the age for practicing cultivation, it is difficult for him to sense the energy of heaven and earth, but the breathing method of "Green Wood Evergreen Technique" is still quite helpful for self-cultivation, nourishing energy and mind.
Originally, this matter was not urgent. Qin Ziling was planning to wait until Yin Ranyue had made some progress in her practice so that it would be more appropriate for her to guide her mother.
But Yin Ranyue was suddenly taken away by the Taoist nun. Qin Ziling was worried that his mother would feel lonely and have unhealthy thoughts without Yin Ranyue's company, so he decided to teach her the "Green Wood Evergreen Skill".
Firstly, it can divert her attention and give her something to do, so that her life will be more fulfilling and she won’t be thinking about all sorts of things; secondly, it can also help her to maintain her health and mind.
Cui was a smart woman. She knew her son's good intentions. In addition, she had seen the "fairy" with her own eyes today, and she had developed some desire to seek immortality in her heart. So when her son wanted to teach her the "Eternal Green Wood Skill", she really took it seriously and learned it.
After all, Cui was an educated woman born into a wealthy family. She understood things even faster than Yin Ranyue, but her memory was much worse. She needed to spend more time memorizing the meridians.
On the second day, Han Tie was in charge of the inner courtyard of the academy.
Qin Ziling sat upright, listening to Zuo Le explaining the secrets of blood circulation to condense strength with blood and impact the realm of a strong martial artist.
"The stronger and purer the blood and qi are, the easier it is to condense strength. But in order to condense strength, you need the help of secret medicine. The secret medicine can be the blood and flesh of exotic beasts, or it can be a secret medicine made with the blood and flesh of exotic beasts as the main medicine. The better the quality of the secret medicine, the easier it is to condense strength, and the quality of the condensed strength will be relatively higher.
Why can the wealthy and powerful families prosper for many years and have so many strong people? A big part of the reason is that they not only master the method of refining secret medicine, but also have the ability to buy or hunt high-quality wild animals. Unlike us, who were born as commoners, even if we have worked hard to practice and reach a level that can be broken through, it is already a great thing to have the money to buy domesticated animals. How can we have the money to buy or hunt high-quality wild animals?
Therefore, it is destined that it is much more difficult for common people to produce martial artists than for wealthy families. Even if they can barely enter the realm of martial artists, they are inferior to them in terms of strength quality because they only use ordinary domesticated beasts. At the same realm, their strength is generally inferior to theirs. "Zuo Le said this, sighed deeply, with a look of bitterness and helplessness on his face.
"Master Zuo, there should be restrictions on martial artists taking secret medicines made from the blood and flesh of exotic animals, right?" Qin Ziling asked the question that concerned him most.
Just now, Zuo Le had explained to him the method of condensing strength, and he already understood it clearly. In fact, for him, as long as he was willing, he could start to make efforts to reach the martial artist level now.
But Qin Ziling didn't want to attack so quickly, he firmly believed that a tall building starts from the ground, the more solid the foundation, the further he can go in the future. What's more, he has unique conditions for laying a foundation that others don't have, so he wants to train his whole body to the level of iron sheet and then condense his strength.
Another reason why he didn't want to attack so quickly was the secret medicine of the exotic beast's flesh and blood.
Since the secret medicine of exotic beasts' flesh and blood is related to the quality of strength, it is naturally better to have less than enough . You cannot just kill a random exotic beast and eat it.
To hunt and kill the right exotic beast, not only strength is needed, but also time!
"Of course. Generally speaking, martial artists can only take first-grade exotic beasts. If conditions permit they can take second-grade exotic beasts, that would be the best. However, when it comes to third-grade exotic beasts, ordinary people can't bear it. Only those with strong blood and a solid foundation, such as Pang Qiwei, can bear it, and the quantity needs to be strictly controlled. As for the flesh and blood of fourth-grade exotic beasts, martial artists can't bear it. Only strong martial artists can eat it." Zuo Le replied.
“I see, no wonder Liu Xiaoqiang had such a big reaction after eating such a small bowl of Eight Desolate Green Python Soup. Fortunately, the essence had been absorbed by the three-headed bronze corpse, otherwise there might be a big problem. It seems that medicine cannot be taken randomly!
But I seem to be fine after consuming a lot of it, and I can defeat Jiang Yue with my blood and qi strength. I wonder if I can bear the blood and flesh of a fourth-grade exotic beast? If I can bear it, I will naturally choose the blood and flesh of a fourth-grade exotic beast.
However, the flesh and blood of a fourth-grade exotic beast is equivalent to that of a great bone-refining martial artist. It is very difficult to hunt it. Unless my entire body is refined into iron skin, the four heads are restored to the silver zombie state, and the strength of the ape and the ape two is further improved, there may still be some hope. "Qin Ziling's mind turned when he heard this, and he thought a lot in an instant.
"Just focus on practicing martial arts. You don't have to worry about the exotic beasts and secret medicines. I will prepare at least two carefully fed Xuanhan Iron Chickens for you. If you work hard, I will also consider spending a lot of money to invite a few friends to the Wuyang Mountains to see if there is any hope of helping you catch a wild Xuanhan Iron Chicken or a first-grade exotic beast that is suitable for your breakthrough." Zuo Le saw Qin Ziling suddenly silent, with a thoughtful look on his face, and thought that he was worried about the exotic beasts and secret medicines, so he said with a smile.
Fortunately, Zuo Le didn't know at this time that his disciple was thinking about the possibility of eating and hunting the fourth-grade exotic beast, otherwise, it is hard to know what his mood would be.
You have to know that when he asked for help to hunt a wild first-class exotic beast, it could be said that he was risking his life!
"Thank you, Master Zuo. I will definitely not let you down!" Qin Ziling came back to his senses from his reverie and quickly stood up and bowed, still feeling quite moved.
Zuo Le's character cannot be said to be very noble. He even seems a bit stingy towards those ordinary apprentices.
But he is still very principled, and deep down he has a chivalrous heart!
This can be seen from the fact that he introduced Qin Ziling to the job at the escort agency and gave Qin Ziling some money after Liu Xiaoqiang was injured.
"I trust you, unlike Nangong Yue. I nurtured him sincerely, but he wanted to bite me." Zuo Le waved his hand to signal Qin Ziling to sit down, and then said: "By the way, I heard from Xinghan that Liu Xiaoqiang has recovered now. I didn't expect you to pay such a high price for Liu Xiaoqiang.
This Liu Xiaoqiang is from a poor family, and his comprehension is a little bit low, but his other conditions are all OK, especially his physique, he is naturally strong, and his frame is broad and strong. If he was born in a good family and spent a lot of money to cultivate him, he would definitely be a fierce general! "
"Liu Xiaoqiang's natural physique is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people." Qin Ziling nodded with deep feeling.
"If you become a martial arts master in the future, you will definitely need a few trusted followers to help you with things. I think Liu Xiaoqiang is a good choice. Since he has recovered, you can let him come back and I will waive all his tuition fees." Zuo Le said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Zuo. I live outside the city, and the world is a bit chaotic now. I am not at home most of the time, and I feel at ease with Liu Xiaoqiang helping to look after the house.
So after Liu Xiaoqiang recovered, I let him continue to practice martial arts at my house. I arranged all the equipment, meat and medicinal materials for him to eat, and now he is making fast progress. "Qin Ziling declined politely, but did not mention that Liu Xiaoqiang was already at the level of a cowhide, otherwise it would be a bit scary.
"You are gifted and have great comprehension, perseverance and determination. There is a high probability that you will become a martial artist in the future. It is truly a blessing for him that you are willing to teach him and provide him with tonic meat and medicinal herbs. It is much better than being a bodyguard for a wealthy family." Zuo Le nodded.
He is an old hand and has understood that Liu Xiaoqiang is repaying his kindness and from now on he is a member of the Qin family.
Qin Ziling smiled and did not respond, but suddenly asked: "Master Zuo, have you heard of Jiuxuan Mountain?"
