Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 70: Secretly Engraved Pendant, Rain Flower Seal
"It seems that it won't work without a teacher." Tang Zheng could only open "The Art of Dagger" again and read it.
He bought a hand-copied martial arts book with a guide, but problems arose one after another. If it was a martial arts book from a random roadside stall, he couldn't imagine how he would practice without a teacher's guidance.
In the past, in the game, you could ask a skill instructor to demonstrate any skill, no matter how many times you wanted.
By observing the details of the skill instructor's movements, Tang Zheng can always improve his skill proficiency faster and better.
However, the martial arts of Xingyao Continent are too complicated, and it may not be easy to find a teacher who can demonstrate many martial arts.
"The martial arts guidance in the book only comes once..." Tang Zheng concentrated his mind.
With the coverage of star power, some subtle light appeared on "Dagger" again.
The power of the two stars in Tang Zheng's body began to surge.
The two stars' power collide violently!
The flow of star power extending from the opening move was no different from what Tang Zheng had just done. Then, the power of the moon quickly gathered the star power, and there was no problem. The star power was like a spring that was pushed back and bounced out, extending rapidly and explosively...
"There is still no problem!" Up to this point, everything was still the same as Tang Zheng himself understood.
However, when the star power expanded, Tang Zheng noticed something wrong.
What exploded and extended was not the power of the sun, but the power of the moon!
"Why?" Before Tang Zheng had time to think clearly, the surging power of the sun burst out, impacting the power of the moon and splitting it into two sides, and then formed a star power circuit.
I see!
It turns out that the second move of "Dagger Secret" "Chongguan" is a two-step martial arts technique.
The power of the moon and the power of the sun cause damage to the target twice continuously and quickly, and then immediately form a star power cycle through the star power circuit created by the latter's impact on the former to end the move.
"I seem to understand." Tang Zheng closed the "Dagger Technique" and did it again himself.
Although there were hand-copied martial arts guidance and hands-on teaching, Tang Zheng still felt that the skill instructor NPC from his previous life was more useful.
The second attempt was still a failure. After the moon power was taken back, it was immediately released like a spring. Because the nature of the extension of star power was very different from the sun power, although he could take back the "Crown-strike" he launched this time, the force he exerted could only be said to be equivalent to the starting move, and was far less powerful than the impact he had just exerted by directly using the sun power.
"Wow, this is much harder than practicing skills in the game!" Tang Zheng tried several times in a row, but still couldn't master it completely.
Either the force of the attack is not enough, or the formed star power circulation is very scattered. After a lot of star power has been dissipated, the attack cannot be retracted, resulting in the flaw that the old power has been exhausted and the new power has not yet been generated.
Without a skill instructor, Tang Zheng's martial arts practice was not very smooth.
Fortunately, he got an unexpected surprise somewhere else.
When practicing "Chongguan", it was possible to cause the star tide to rise one after another, generating two strands of star power at a time!
After these dozen or so attempts, the one-star power in his body has increased by twenty strands.
Almost every one or two "championship" attacks, two new strands of star power can be stacked above the star tide.
"My skill proficiency is increasing slowly, but my mana is increasing very quickly!" Tang Zheng smiled and muttered to himself in words that only he could understand, and swallowed another brown pill.
With the help of the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant and the Brown Ze Pill, his star power regeneration speed increased again...
After Tang Zheng practiced the opening move and the crown-crossing move seventy or eighty times, the star power in his body increased by more than a hundred strands!
The only problem is, I'm too tired.
After about every five or six reps, he would feel exhausted and would have to stop and rest for a while before continuing.
"Okay, one hundred times!" Tang Zheng practiced "Chongguan" a hundred times before wiping the sweat off his face and putting the dagger back into the scabbard. He sighed and said, "I have medicine, accessories, and good martial arts, but I'm still a long way from the second star!"
…
The next morning, the purchasing continued at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion.
Ban Yiluo also became excited. He actually moved a small stool to the door and sat there, talking excitedly about promoting the goods that his friend had entrusted him to sell over the years, which he had forged Tang Zheng's sword and dagger.
Tang Zheng ignored him and walked straight into the Jubao Pavilion. He handed the three account books he had received from Lan Yanyi yesterday directly to Tang Xiaotang.
He didn't say anything extra.
From Lan Yanyi's mouth, Tang Zheng has indirectly understood Lan Shaoze - this person is meticulous and very rational. When encountering things, he can quickly sort out the priorities and perfectly handle all factors that are not in his favor. Except for the only flaw of being too proud, it can be said that there is nothing else to complain about.
Therefore, the few scattered so-called "one-pot plan" that he heard from Lan Yanyi and Feng Le in the compartment would definitely be overturned by Lan Shaoze after something went wrong.
"Uh, Master..." Tang Xiaotang and the others were looking through the accounts in the Treasure Pavilion. The more they looked, the more frightened they became. Finally, they closed the accounts and could not even breathe steadily. "Where did you get such an important thing?"
Tang Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Is it something very important? The person who lost it must be very anxious!"
"He must be anxious and angry!" Tang Zixie could no longer hide the gloating smile on his face.
Two of them are the transaction records between Yinlan Villa and two sects.
The other one covers real information about all the shops on West Street!
"But." Tang Xiaotang looked at the cover of the account book, "Why is there blood?"
"Well... there was indeed a small conflict." Tang Zheng touched his nose.
"A little conflict?" Tang Xiaotang asked suspiciously.
"If you don't believe me, ask Azhi?" Tang Zheng pointed at the grandfather and grandson who came in from outside the door.
Azhi frowned, snorted and ignored Tang Zheng.
The ghost grandfather behind Ah Zhi smiled and greeted Tang Zheng: "Did you have a good time last night?"
“Ahem…” Tang Zheng didn’t know what Ah Zhi said to Ghost Grandpa, so he could only answer, “It’s just so-so, it’s OK.”
"Are you still in the mood to joke?" Ah Zhi rolled his eyes at him, "Do you know that the blood guide left on our star sign yesterday is not only approaching..."
"Hahahaha..." Ghost Grandpa reached out and pressed Azhi's shoulder. Azhi looked back at Ghost Grandpa, snorted again, and didn't say anything else.
Tang Zheng only knew that Feng Le used his astrological talent and left behind a blood sign that said "My father is Li Gang", which could allow people from the Qintian Sect with the same astrological sign to get within a hundred steps of them, and they would know that they were the ones who killed Feng Le.
But, from what Azhi said, it seems that there is more to it than that?
Tang Zheng turned his gaze to Ghost Grandpa.
"Haha..." Ghost Grandpa laughed again, "Come to me in the evening!"
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment: "But, I have to go back to Tangjiabao in the afternoon. I have something to discuss with the owner of the fort. I don't know when I can return to Wulong Town in the evening..."
"Do you want to find my dad?" Tang Xiaotang asked, "You don't have to go back. He will come to Jubao Pavilion tomorrow morning!" Then, she moved closer to Tang Zheng and asked, "Hey, what's the matter?"
Tang Zi smiled evilly and said, "Are you going to propose marriage to our little Tang sister?"
Tang Xiaotang pushed Tang Zixie hard: "You're looking for death! I said I will never marry before Qixing!"
"I'll be an old lady by the time I get to see you, Qixing."
"I am an old lady, so what?"
"Who would want to marry you then?"
Tang Zheng rubbed his forehead. He wanted to find Tang Boyuan because he wanted to tell him that he had killed Feng Le, but why did the topic go so awry?
Tang Xiaotang and the others were chatting and laughing in the Jubao Pavilion, so Tang Zheng simply walked out.
In his pocket, he also had a list.
It's funny to say that most of the items on Lan Yanyi's shopping list are from the Jubao Pavilion. That is to say, if Tang Zheng hadn't killed him last night, he would have come here today to do some business with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had also seen that list on the way here in the carriage this morning. He had seen many of the items on the list in the cabinet, but he had no impression of a few of them.
"Mr. Ban..." Tang Zheng found Ban Yilou as soon as he went out and pulled him aside from his enthusiastic sales pitch. "Help me see what's written on this list?"
"Go away and don't disturb my business. Blocking someone's path to wealth is as deadly as death..." Ban Yilou's beard started to blow again.
"Buy, buy, buy, buy them all!" Tang Zheng stopped Ban Yilou's complaints, "Hurry up, take a look at this list! Are all of them available in Jubao Pavilion?"
Ban Yilou then pulled over the list...
As soon as he saw the items above, his eyebrows raised.
Tang Zheng looked at his puzzled expression and asked, "No?"
"Yes, and no. The items at the top, such as the Double Core Dew and the Finely Polished Eye Stone, all need to be purchased from different places of the Treasure Pavilion!" Ban Yilou handed the shopping list back to Tang Zheng, "But whose shopping list is this? Why do you need these things?"
"Oh, is there any problem with these things?" Tang Zheng smiled. He was not afraid that there was something wrong with these things, he was just afraid that they had no problem!
"When used together, they have only one purpose..." Ban Yiluo said.
"What's the purpose?" Tang Zheng guessed that this list should be the one that Lan Shaoze bought for Lan Yanyi. Knowing their purpose, he might know what Lan Shaoze was planning to do recently.
"They are all restoration materials!" Ban Yilou answered seriously, "To repair a kind of secretly engraved ornament called 'Rain Flower Seal'!"
