Chapter 181 Bone Refining Secret Method
After a long while, Zuo Le calmed down, sat back in his seat, and said solemnly: "I have the bone refining method of the Cold Iron Palm. Even if I don't have it, as long as I am willing to spend money, I can find a way to get it by going to Xiyunzhou City.
In martial arts, only the part of refining internal organs is the secret technique of each sect and family. Even if we can get it, the price will be sky-high, which is not something we can hope for.
I have strayed off topic, let's get back to bone refining. For bone refining, the secret of the technique is not a big problem. For martial artists like us who don't have much experience, the biggest problem is the secret medicine for bone refining.
Back then, Xujiabao was considered powerful and well-established, but they did not have the secret medicine for bone refining. It was hard to say whether the other three of the four major families in Fangqiao City, except for the Pang family, had any secret medicine.
Because the bone refining secret medicine needs to be prepared with the flesh and blood of a fourth-grade exotic beast. A fourth-grade exotic beast is equivalent to a great bone refining martial artist, and at least the strength of a great martial artist is required to be able to kill it.
There is no great bone refining martial artist in the family or sect. Unless it is passed down from ancestors or they are lucky, it is impossible to have the bone refining secret medicine made from the flesh and blood of the fourth-grade exotic beast. Because relying on themselves, the martial artists of the poor families simply do not have the strength to hunt for the bone refining secret medicine.
Because of this, some poor martial artists were willing to join some big families and sects to work for them in order to obtain the bone-refining secret medicine. Some martial artists took a different approach and tried to get some secret pills with serious side effects.
This type of secret elixir can usually only be refined by people in the Qi Refining Sect. It does not require the flesh and blood of a fourth-grade exotic beast, but the probability of success is generally very small. Even if it succeeds, the power of this secret elixir will be refined into the bones, which often has great side effects.
The Nine-transformation Blood Essence Bone Strengthening Secret Pill you gave me last time is this kind of secret pill. Xinghan and I used it to strengthen our blood essence and condense our strength, but we didn't see much side effect. But once it was refined into the bones, it was completely different, and there would be no hope of a breakthrough in the future.
Of course, it is a great blessing for me to reach Hua Jin in my lifetime, and it is definitely impossible to reach Bone Refining. But Xing Han still has a glimmer of hope. After he got rid of his mental knot, he was like a reborn person. He really has accumulated a lot of experience and achieved great success late in life. With the blood and flesh of exotic beasts as a supplement, he is expected to reach Hua Jin soon.
As for you, there is no need to say more. As long as you have the real secret medicine for bone refining, you will definitely be able to break through and become a great bone refining master. At that time, with your solid foundation, even Pang Qiwei will not dare to touch you again!
So, when you feel you can refine your bones, we will go deep into Wuyang Mountain to look for fourth-grade lower-level exotic beasts. You have the strength comparable to that of a great martial artist in the early stages of bone refinement. With me, Master Shaowu, and Xinghan, who will probably be at the Huajin level by then, if we are lucky, we may be able to give it a try. If we can invite Miss Qingzhu, our hope will be even greater.”
As he spoke of the latter part, Zuo Le's eyes showed anticipation. He did not consider at all that with his old bones, if he really went into Wuyang Mountain to hunt the fourth-grade lower-level exotic beasts, he would most likely be the first to die.
"Master Zuo, you don't have to worry about the secret medicine for bone refining. I already have a clue about it." Qin Ziling said.
"What do you mean don't worry about it!" Zuo Le's face darkened, and he said, "The secret medicine for bone refining is related to your bone refining. How can I not worry about it? I know that you like to handle many things by yourself, but you can't do this. You raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a moment. You have spent such a huge price, and you have to use those of us you should use, and you have to sacrifice those who should be sacrificed.
Besides, I am old, and Zuo Cong has you as my master. If I can really help you achieve the Bone Refining Realm, I will rest in peace even if I die."
"Master Zuo, what are you talking about! All right, I'll tell you the truth. I've already got the secret medicine for bone refining. Now the key is to accumulate strength and the bone refining technique." Seeing that Zuo Le mentioned death, Qin Ziling had to reveal some news to him.
Of course, the matter of transformation into a Chi cannot be revealed now.
"What?" Zuo Le was stunned when he heard that.
After a long time, Zuo Le started walking around the room excitedly again. This time he was no longer rubbing his hands, but was pulling at his beard.
"Haha, good, good! I never thought that I, Zuo Le, could bring up another person in my lifetime..." Zuo Le was so excited that he almost blurted out something. Fortunately, he was an old hand after all, so he stopped and said in a low voice, "Great Bone Refining Master!"
After saying that, Zuo Le seemed to be finally satisfied. He stopped and said to Qin Ziling, "Wait a moment, I'll get you the bone refining secret method. Although the bone refining secret method of Han Tie Zhang is not as precious as those of the big sects, I was lucky to get it."
After saying that, Zuo Le hurriedly left the study, and soon hurried back with a yellowed book in his hand.
"Please keep this secret bone refining method. If Xinghan has hope in the future, you can pass it on to him. I have no use for it." Zuo Le stuffed the secret bone refining method of the Cold Iron Palm into Qin Ziling's hands and said.
"I'll keep this bone-refining secret method for now. As for you, Master Zuo, don't give up too early. You were just born poor and lacked opportunities before. Now that you have a chance, you can also improve like Senior Brother Zheng, so you still have to practice diligently every day." Qin Ziling put away the bone-refining secret method and said with a serious face.
"You know, if you keep practicing diligently, there will be no need to waste time. My family has received such a great favor from you, and I want my old bones to be able to make more use of them. I dare not slack off." Zuo Le said.
Qin Ziling smiled upon hearing this, took out a brocade box from his bosom, handed it to Zuo Le and said, "That's good, this is for you and Senior Brother Zheng. You should take one pill every three to five days."
This brocade box contains pills that can enhance qi and blood and condense strength.
This time Qin Ziling killed so many people in the Dragon Vein Land, and each of them had this kind of pill on them, totaling hundreds of them.
Qin Ziling was a person who had eaten the meat of Hua Chi. Except for the elixirs collected by the great bone refining masters such as Long Xiaotian, Mao Zongjun and Pang Tianpeng, these elixirs still had some tonic effect on him. The other elixirs no longer had much effect and it would be a waste to eat them.
But these pills are treasured by martial artists, some of them are even treasured by powerful Hua Jin martial artists. They don't have much effect on Qin Ziling, but they are truly tonic for Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan, and are just right for speeding up the improvement of their cultivation.
"This is the Clouded Leopard Blood Strengthening Pill! This is the Tiger Elephant Strong Secret Pill! This is..." Zuo Le took the brocade box, opened it, and was so shocked that his hands couldn't help shaking, and he cried out in low voice.
These pills are all precious and famous pills in the martial arts world. Only truly wealthy martial artists can afford them, and they can only be purchased in large counties like Qinghe County. In small counties like Fangqiao City, only large families like the Xiao family have treasures and will not sell them.
"Master Zuo is the best one who knows these pills. You can take them first. Tell me if you're out of them. Try to cultivate your strength to the level of bone refining as soon as possible." Qin Ziling said.
"Zi Ling, this..." Zuo Le's whole body trembled, and his voice became hoarse and trembling.
"As for Sister Pastor, Senior Brother Shen and others, you should also try your best to find ways to nourish them and let them become martial artists as soon as possible. Don't feel sorry for the medicinal herbs and exotic beasts. If they are gone, we can spend money to buy them. The key is to cultivate people as soon as possible. Our foundation is still too weak. If we want to get up as soon as possible, we have to invest a lot of resources and money." Qin Ziling didn't wait for Zuo Le to finish speaking, and continued speaking with an attitude of being rich and powerful.
There is no way, there are still 400,000 taels of gold notes in the storage ring!
These gold notes are useless if not used!
Qin Ziling now has neither the time nor the energy to train his own team.
But as someone from another world, Qin Ziling knew deeply that the power of one person was ultimately limited, and cultivating a strong team was absolutely necessary.
For a hunting operation like this one in the dragon vein area of Panchi Mountain, the defeated Jinjian Sect and Cui Family can only have their sect leaders and family heads personally take action, while other major forces only need to send their subordinates.
Qin Ziling naturally didn't want to do everything by himself in the future, and as his cultivation strength improved, there would be some things that he would not be able to do personally.
So at present, Qin Ziling can only train and develop people through Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan, whom he can truly trust.
Zuo Le is experienced and Zheng Xinghan is a loyal person. The old and the young are a perfect match.
As for Zuo Le, he is a little older and it is not easy for him to break through, but this is not a problem for Qin Ziling.
He doesn't have much else now, but he has a lot of resources for cultivation and money!
The key is to be trustworthy!
Zuo Le was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then he came to his senses and asked, "Do you mean that as long as Mu Xuan and others can absorb it, we should not save it?"
"That's right!" Qin Ziling nodded.
"If that's the case, I don't think you can keep hiding behind the scenes. At least, in addition to me and Xinghan, you have to let some of the real backbones know of your existence, let them know who is their leader." After getting a positive answer, Zuo Le pondered for a long time, looked up and said.
"I've been thinking about this. I'll find time after the New Year." Qin Ziling touched his chin and said when he heard this.
He now has the strength to kill a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining. It is time for him to show his abilities a little. There is no need to keep hiding.
Of course, being high-profile is not his style, so Zuo Le suggested letting some key members know of his existence, which was exactly what Qin Ziling wanted, but he still wanted to wait for a while.
"Okay!" Zuo Le nodded.
"By the way, there is some progress on the matter concerning Master Zuo Cong." Qin Ziling changed the subject.
"Really? Which sect?" Zuo Le asked with surprise.
"The Golden Sword Sect of Qinghe County." Qin Ziling replied.
"Golden Sword Sect? I seem to have heard someone mention it, but I don't know the details." Zuo Le frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look.
Qin Ziling was not surprised by Zuo Le's reaction.
The Jinjian Sect has been on a downward trend. After being attacked by the Demon Sect 20 years ago, it has been dormant ever since, and the activities of its disciples are basically limited to Jinliao County.
Therefore, among people from other counties, except those in the Qi Refining Taoist world, few have heard of the Golden Sword Sect.
Qin Ziling gave a brief account of the situation of the Golden Sword Sect.
“According to what you said, the Golden Sword Sect has a very strong foundation, and the strength of the sect’s supreme elder is almost comparable to that of a master. Sects like this are very strict in selecting disciples, and they have fixed times for accepting disciples. We are just from a small place, and we don’t have much fame. If we take Zuo Cong with us, I’m afraid we may not even be able to enter the mountain gate!” After hearing this, Zuo Le was both happy and worried.
"Don't worry. I have acquaintances in the Golden Sword Sect, and Zuo Cong is a genius with a single gold spiritual root. They will definitely cultivate him with all their heart." Qin Ziling said.
"That's great!" Zuo Le was delighted when he heard that he knew someone in the Golden Sword Sect.
Zuo Cong is still young and comes from a small place without much background. He is really afraid that he will not be taken seriously and will be bullied after joining the Golden Sword Sect.
Now that Qin Ziling said that there was someone he knew there, Zuo Le finally felt at ease.
"Then when will we send Cong'er to the Golden Sword Sect?" Zuo Le asked quickly.
"There's no rush. Let's talk about it after the New Year. Let Zuo Cong spend more time with you." Qin Ziling said.
The incident at Panchi Mountain has just passed, and the storm is not over yet. Feng Ziluo must be busy with that piece of Panchi meat and has been in seclusion without seeing anyone.
Moreover, we should always be on guard against others.
This time, Qin Ziling accompanied Zuo Cong, not only did he want Zuo Cong to become his disciple, he also wanted to ask for a set of gold-based skills.
The Golden Sword Sect's Grand Elder Jian Bailou is a powerful figure whose strength is almost at the Grandmaster level. He is definitely no match for him now.
He still needs to wait for the Great Ape and the Second Ape to break through to become the middle-level Silver Corpse, and for his own strength to improve a little, and then it will be safer to go.
Two days ago, in the land of dragon veins, he just quickly ate half of the meat of a Huachi, and then broke through to become a Huajin martial artist. He hasn't had time to refine it properly, and there are more than three Huachi in the corpse-raising ring, so he must continue to swallow and refine them.
"Well, this is the best. Although I also want Cong'er to succeed in his cultivation as soon as possible, but when I think about him leaving us at such a young age and going far away, I still feel reluctant, not to mention your master's wife!" Zuo Le said.
Next, the master and disciple had a secret conversation in the study for a while. Then Qin Ziling stayed with Zuo Cong for a while and then left Shuiyue Villa and returned to his home.
At the Qin family, this morning, Qin Ziling had already given some of the elixirs that he didn't need to Shao E and Liu Xiaoqiang. He also left a small bag of Qingwu Lingmi bought from Zhanjian Town for his mother, so that she could eat some every day.
So after returning home, Qin Ziling met Cui, then gave a few words of advice and encouragement to Shao E and Liu Xiaoqiang, then left home alone and headed towards Xisheng Mountain.
Xisheng Mountain is only ten miles away from Anhe Village. He chose Xisheng Mountain to practice in seclusion, and traveled back and forth with Qin Ziling, and also observed the situation in Fangqiao City with him.
The affairs of Pang Tianpeng will sooner or later reach the ears of Pang Qiwei. It is hard to guarantee whether Pang Qiwei will be mentally stimulated and do something extreme and reckless after losing his beloved son.
Therefore, during this period of time, Qin Ziling must not leave Anhe Village.
Otherwise, Wuyang Mountain is the most suitable place for cultivation. It is hidden and no one can find it. If he wants to kill one or two exotic beasts to replenish Xiao Qing and Xia Yan, it would be convenient for him to change his taste at the same time.
With Qin Ziling's speed, he quickly arrived at the foot of Xisheng Mountain.
In the snow and wind, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan were already standing at the foot of the mountain waiting.
Both of them were carrying a large package, obviously preparing for a long period of seclusion.
Seeing Xiao Qing and Xia Yan standing in the snow from afar, Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of the more YY urban novels in his previous life, such as a plane crash, surviving on a deserted island with a flight attendant, or a man surviving in a primeval forest with a group of women...
"Maybe I can also write a book about my happy life and practice in the primeval forest with two beauties!" Qin Ziling amused himself as he walked towards Xiao Qing and Xia Yan.
As he became more and more integrated into this world, many memories of that world became increasingly distant, like a long dream he once had.
Moreover, Qin Ziling had no way to discuss the things of that world with the people in this world.
Therefore, most of the time, Qin Ziling could only entertain himself in his mind. This was his remembrance of another world and himself who once lived in another world.
“Brother!”
"Mr. Qin!"
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan came over with joy on their faces. They didn't seem to have the slightest idea of living a hard and simple life with a man in a cave in the mountains. Instead, they seemed to be going on vacation with a man, or eloping with a man...
"It's really two different worlds. How could I have been so glorious in the last world?" Qin Ziling looked at the two beautiful girls who came to greet him with joy, and he secretly sighed in his heart, while stretching out his hands and said: "Give me all the luggage!"
"No! It's not much!"
"How can I trouble Mr. Qin with such a thing?"
The two of them shook their heads and refused without hesitation, looking at Qin Ziling with more joy and tenderness.
"This is not a matter of weight or trouble. This is what a man should do. Bring them all to me." Qin Ziling said "domineeringly".
Seeing this, Xiao Qing stopped being polite to Qin Ziling and handed the bag to Qin Ziling with a happy face, but Xia Yan was still a little hesitant.
She is a maid, and will be a girl warming the bed for the young lady and her husband in the future. How can she be so disrespectful!
Qin Ziling saw this and stretched out his hand to forcibly take the bag from Xia Yan's shoulders without saying anything. Then he put one bag on each shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded and walked forward side by side with Qin Ziling.
Xia Yan fell behind by a step, her curved eyes staring at Qin Ziling's well-proportioned back in a daze, her heart surging.
All three of them were martial artists. Although the mountain road was difficult to walk on in the wind and snow, it was nothing to them. Soon the three of them arrived at a cliff on the east side.
Qin Ziling led the two of them and nimbly climbed up the cliff about a hundred meters above the ground along the vines, then pushed aside some cover and crawled in.
Qin Ziling had been practicing in this cave in Xisheng Mountain for nearly half a year before he went to Qinghe County.
As a person who came from the modern civilized world, Qin Ziling was quite particular about the place where he lived for a long period of time.
So he arranged the cave neatly and tidyly. It was equipped with not only a fire rack, pots and pans, but also stone tables, stone benches and stone beds, all covered with tanned animal skins.
Oh, and there is a big wooden barrel.
This large wooden barrel was originally used by Qin Ziling to soak medicine. Later, he replaced the medicine with the method of refining Qi, and the large wooden barrel was transformed into a bathtub specially used for relaxation.
The bathtub is big enough for three people to bathe together.
But he had never thought of bringing two women to live in this cave, so he didn't carve out a special stone chamber, only a "large room".
"Hey, it's pretty nice here!" After Xiao Qing and Xia Yan came in, their eyes lit up slightly, with a hint of joy on their faces, and they looked at Qin Ziling differently.
No woman likes a sloppy man!
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan were no exception.
Because she liked it, Xia Yan, out of professional habit, went to the stone bed and stroked the fur on it to make it smooth.
Qin Ziling's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xia Yan bending over to make the bed with her back to him, her curves so graceful and attractive.
Miss Xia Yan, what do you mean?
Am I going to start living a shameless life with beautiful women like the protagonists in many novels?
"Brother, do you usually practice in seclusion here by yourself? Are there other people coming here?" After all, Xiao Qing was used to being a young lady, so she wouldn't start busy tidying up the cave like Xia Yan did. She looked at Qin Ziling and asked.
"Here is my secret! You are the first group of friends to visit me." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
Xiao Qing was very satisfied with Qin Ziling's answer. She glanced at the stone bed and blushed slightly as she said, "Xia Yan and I came here suddenly. Will we disturb Big Brother?"
Qin Ziling wanted to say "You are welcome to harass me at any time" after hearing this, but he didn't dare to say this "famous saying" after all. He smiled and said, "I will practice with you here during the day and return to Anhe Village at night."
"Ah, what if a powerful person finds this place? Once the young lady's power is dispersed, her strength will be greatly reduced. I'm afraid I can't do it alone..." Xia Yan was slightly startled when she heard this and blurted out.
"Don't worry, I have my own ways to monitor the surroundings. You just need to practice and rest here with peace of mind." Qin Ziling interrupted with a smile.
His soul can be divided into forty-nine parts, and the separated souls can leave the main body twenty miles away.
Xisheng Mountain is only ten miles away from Anhe Village.
And now he has an additional Dark Blood Soul Refining Flag.
The Nether Blood Soul Refining Flag houses the soul of an Anti-Tien, whose combat power is not inferior to that of a great martial artist in the middle stage of Bone Refining.
Therefore, as long as Qin Ziling left, he would separate a part of his soul and wrap the Nether Blood Soul Refining Flag to guard outside, and he would not be afraid of anyone discovering this place.
"Will it be too troublesome for you to travel back and forth like this, brother? And will this distraction affect your practice?" Xiao Qing asked.
"No problem." Qin Ziling replied.
"Okay then!" Xiao Qing nodded and glanced at Qin Ziling with her pretty eyes, which seemed to have a different feeling.
Qin Ziling's heart skipped a beat, and he recalled some of the experiences and words of some veteran drivers in his previous life. He wanted to change his words, but out of caution, he thought that maintaining his virginity for the time being would be beneficial to his practice.
In his previous life, he had read in "Su Wen" that it was mentioned that the kidneys store "innate essence", which is the basis of the yin and yang of the internal organs and the source of life, so it is called "the innate basis" .
Some martial arts often require the person to be a virgin.
Qin Ziling's intuition told him that even if he wanted to lose his virginity, he should do so after he had refined his five internal organs.
"Alas, I read too much Chinese medicine and martial arts novels in my previous life. But no matter whether it is true or not, I'd better be steady first. Once this virgin body is broken, there is no way to repair it!"
Qin Ziling secretly sighed with regret in his heart, and then said to Xiao Qing: "You take a rest first, I will put up the firewood."
"Mr. Qin, let me do it, let me do it." Xia Yan rushed to do it, leaving Qin Ziling speechless.
Such a beautiful and charming woman...
But in the end, Qin Ziling couldn't persuade Xia Yan and gave in to her.
The bonfire started burning, and the cave suddenly became warm and bright.
It's still snowing outside.
Xia Yan is indeed a very good girl.
She is beautiful and charming, with a plump and graceful figure. She works diligently and carefully, and speaks very gently and considerately.
After the bonfire was lit, she quickly made some tea and placed some cakes and snacks that she had brought with her on the table.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing sat opposite each other drinking tea and watched Xia Yan busying herself nearby. The bonfire made her face glow red. It really felt like they were on vacation in a cave with Xiao Qing and enjoying life.
"The life of rich people is luxurious and decadent!" Qin Ziling sighed in his heart.
