The night wind is rustling, and the moonlight is like white frost.
Lu Chen sat under the eaves and looked at the wooden box in front of him. The lid had been opened, revealing the bright red belly of the fish and dragon inside.
It is a palm-sized mass of flesh and blood with irregular blood streaks on the surface. The cortex is smooth and the texture is light, similar to fish bubbles.
"According to Master Zheng, it needs to be integrated into flesh and blood, and you can freely choose its location."
Lu Chen used a dagger to cut open the palm of his left hand. The wound healed quickly with the sharp sting.
He quickly took out the fish and dragon belly and placed it in his palm. When it came into contact with the blood and flesh, it squirmed quickly.
Like a small beast that swallows blood, it continuously absorbs his blood. The bloodshot roots on its surface are like tree roots piercing into flesh and blood.
Gudong, Gudong~
The blood mass swallowed a large amount of blood, and instead of growing in size, it continued to shrink.
After about a quarter of an hour, the blood group shrank to the size of a melon seed and disappeared into the wound.
Without the suppression of the fish-dragon belly, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared in a matter of seconds.
Lu Chen wiped the blood clean and looked at his white palms with a look of novelty on his face.
He sensed the fish-dragon belly in his flesh and blood, and with a flick of his consciousness, he could enter a space, which was a cube about three meters long and wide.
"This feeling of portable space is really amazing."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and held the dagger on the floor. The latter disappeared in an instant.
But he could clearly detect that there was something extra in the belly of the fish and dragon, which was the dagger he just held in his hand.
With a thought, the dagger fell into the palm of his hand. It felt cold to the touch. He turned his palm over and the dagger was put into the belly of the fish and dragon, repeated three times.
After fully mastering storage and removal, Lu Chen put important items such as banknotes and black gold ritual knives into his body.
"I was originally worried about how to preserve valuables."
A treasure like this black gold sword would make him uneasy whenever it was out of sight. This fish-dragon belly solved a big problem for him.
He flipped it over casually, and the wooden box containing the source material fell into his hands. Then he took out the black gold sword and planned to let it swallow the source material.
The source matter as big as a fist was in an irregular state, with pits and pits on the surface, shining with faint starlight, and it was bone-chilling cold to the touch.
With a clang, the black gold instrument sword was unsheathed. Lu Chen pondered slightly, and brought the source material and the blade of the sword closer together. The instrument sword exuded joyful emotions.
The Noble Phantasm does not require special techniques to swallow the essence. As long as it comes into contact with the blade, it will automatically start swallowing.
Veins appeared on the surface of the instrument knife, just like the meridian skeleton of the human body. The parts that came into contact with the source material softened and began to swallow the source material.
Judging from the speed at which Black Gold Yi Dao ate it, it would take at least half an hour for Lu Chen to take out the last box.
He planned to take advantage of this time to study Liuli Hand.
Through the bright candlelight and moonlight, Lu Chenfan looked at the glazed hand. He was not a fan of martial arts, but more interested in techniques.
This difference is like the difference between the true method of melting the sun and the extreme drawing of the sword.
After reading through the glass hand, Lu Chen also roughly understood that it was indeed a very good method.
To a certain extent, even extremely tyrannical.
This glass hand needs to swallow a lot of weirdness to practice, and the strength of the glass hand is determined by the weirdness that has been swallowed.
Once you have mastered the glazed hands, your hands can be used at all times, and you can even tear apart magic spells with your hands, and even resist treasure phantoms.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen brought up the panel.
[Source: Lu Chen]
[Martial Arts: Great Sun Fusion True Technique (2/9), Glazed Hands (0/3)]
[Source species: 23 points]
Except for the remaining 6 points of Source Seeds, all the remaining Source Seeds were obtained after killing Lord Cha.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen said silently in his mind, "Add more."
[Martial Arts: Glazed Hands (1/3)]
[Source species: 13 points]
The glass hand broke through the first layer in an instant, and Lu Chen felt that his palms were like ice, with dark veins running up his fingers.
The next moment, his hands were as black as ink and textured like glass, like fine works of art.
Lu Chen was a little surprised as he turned his slender fingers. According to his perception, Liuli's hand could at least take three black gold swords.
Using only physical strength to withstand the attack of the Noble Phantasm is already terrifying.
After studying the glass hand, the black gold sword just finished swallowing the source material.
The Yi Dao exudes happy emotions, the entire blade is getting hot, and its texture becomes more delicate.
Lu Chen waved it casually, and the sound of the sword became clearer and clearer, and the veins inside became more complex, nearly tripling in number.
According to the information fed back by Yi Dao, this vein is the foundation of the Noble Phantasm. The greater the number, the better the quality of the Noble Phantasm.
In order for Yi Dao to give birth to a second treasure technique, at least three pieces of this level of source quality are needed.
Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh. To improve his cultivation level, he needed source seeds, and to upgrade his sword, he also needed source essence. He was getting poorer and poorer.
In the days that followed, Lu Shenshan no longer used the source seeds to improve his cultivation, but tried to practice on his own.
Of course, the main reason is poverty.
Time flies and it is two months.
In the evening of this day, I was walking on the street where the lanterns were first lit, heading towards the Baiwei Tower.
Commander Cheng asked him to meet there and said that Tianji Academy's first assessment task had come down and he wanted to explain the details of the task to him.
According to Commander Cheng's introduction, most of Tianjiyuan's assessment tasks are related to weirdness... Lu Chen was looking forward to it.
Ever since Master Cha was killed, it has been difficult for anyone in Liangshan County to provide him with a source seed.
During this period, he also contacted Yuanhe Martial Arts Hall and Commander Cheng, expressing his willingness to use silver to buy the source of essence, but the price was really appalling.
One tael of essence for the first level of bloodline realm actually costs three hundred taels. As for the essence of Taoism realm, there is none in the entire Liangshan County.
…
In the Baiwei Garden, the storyteller is still telling the story of "Tiger climbs up the mountain and sinks on the road".
The restaurant was no longer full of guests, but there was still an endless stream and it seemed extremely lively.
"Hey, Liang Yuan, the liar in our academy, is he going to cry?"
In the private seat near the window on the third floor, a girl with blushed face and evil eyes said with a sneer on her face.
Liang Yuan was sitting by the window, her eyes were red, and she was very angry, "Wang Zhu, are you done with it? I've tolerated you many times!"
There are ten people sitting at this table, all students of Qinghe Academy.
"Liang Yuan, you don't know that Wang Zhu likes to joke." The handsome young man sitting next to Wang Zhu said.
"Don't be so harsh in your tone. I'm inviting everyone to dinner today just to be happy. You can leave if you feel like it."
"Cheng Hui, A Yuan didn't mean it." The girl next to Liang Yuan pulled her and comforted her: "It's all small things, forget it."
Liang Yuan looked at the girl with slightly chubby cheeks and her pleading eyes, and sighed: "I don't know Lu Chen, are you satisfied?"
The reason for this conflict is that Liang Yuan and Wang Zhu didn't deal with it at all and once threw it into the lake.
Because she said she knew Lu Chen, the latter took this opportunity to attack her. Instead of calling Lu Chen out, he said she, Liang Yuan, was lying.
A woman with her kind of character has done countless bad things behind her back.
As for the so-called acquaintance, it was just a matter of forcibly building a relationship in order to reach a higher level. How could she endure this?
This was the scene just now.
And the reason why she came to this party was because of her good friend Hao Yun next to her.
The latter's family background is the worst among these people, and he wants to use Liang Yuan's identity to squeeze into this circle of young masters and young ladies.
"Am I wrong? Gao Zhi, who wants to be the leader of the road, you look like this, no one will accept your offer!"
Wang Zhu leaned back on the chair, like a victorious hen.
Cheng Jie looked sideways at Liang Yuan and said with great airs, "Liang Yuan, Master Lu is not something you can afford."
"Whether you can climb it or not, it's not you Cheng Jie who has the final say." Liang Yuan snorted coldly and glanced at the storyteller downstairs.
"Baiweiyuan used Lu Chen's name to make up some ugly stories to get the status of the No. 1 restaurant. How dare you say this?"
The latter is the young master of Baiwei Garden.
Everyone's hearts tightened, because of the popularity of Baiwei Garden, Cheng Jie had the highest status among them.
This Liang Yuan dared to refute him face to face. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him in the academy in the future.
"Hao Yun, there's no point in dealing with these crooked melons and cracked dates. Let's go." Liang Yuan stood up, but saw Hao Yun sitting still in his position.
Hao Yun did not look at her, but looked at Cheng Jie and Wang Zhu opposite. Liang Yuan felt something was wrong.
Wang Zhu ridiculed: "Liang Yuan, haven't you seen clearly? You are the only outsider here. The reason why I let you come is to tease you."
After that, she pointed at Hao Yun and said, "I asked Hao Yun to ask you to come. I promised her that as long as she cooperates with me, she will join us."
"Is everything she said true?" Liang Yuan looked down at Hao Yun.
She and Hao Yun met when they first went to the academy. At that time, Hao Yun was introverted and was often bullied, so she was the one who protected him.
After more than two years of friendship, she couldn't believe that Hao Yun would agree to such ridiculous conditions.
"Liang Yuan, apologize to Wang Zhu and Mr. Cheng." Hao Yun first bowed to Wang Zhu and saluted, then looked at Liang Yuan and begged.
Liang Yuan felt as if she was meeting this friend for the first time. She felt her heart was heavy and the tip of her nose was slightly sour. "Do you really think they will accept you?!"
"Please." Hao Yun pulled her sleeves, his eyes filled with tears, "I have been my friend for so many years, please help me."
"Apologise?" Cheng Jie sneered, "I want you to give her a slap, or get out with her."
Hao Yun looked hesitant.
Liang Yuan showed a sad smile and left the seat in despair. At this moment, a voice sounded from the side, "Liang Yuan?"
Everyone looked up and saw a young man standing not far away, wearing a slim-fitting red fish suit, holding a black gold sword, frowning and looking this way.
Liang Yuan looked at the young man, his eyes were red and a little moist.
"What happened?" Lu Chen came over. He and Commander Cheng were on the fourth floor. When they went upstairs, they heard Liang Yuan's voice and came over to take a look.
Cheng Jie looked at the red fish suit and his heart suddenly pounded. Could it be that she really knew Lu Chen, the one who went up the mountain to Hu Lu Shen? !
Wang Zhu stopped talking, realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, especially the young man's gaze, which made her soul tremble.
The rest of the people lowered their heads one after another, like trembling quails, instinctively afraid of that gaze.
Liang Yuan took a deep breath, without looking at the people behind him, and said with a smile: "I'm here for dinner, I've already finished it."
Lu Chen glanced at the rest of the crowd and asked, "Do you know the boss of Baiweiyuan? If you make money from my story, you have to pay some fees, right?"
"I don't know him, but I know the young master here." Liang Yuan listened to his words and understood that he wanted to stand up for herself.
Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Tell the young master's family to send the money to my house tomorrow morning. You know the address."
"Okay, I'll ask for it for you." Liang Yuan smiled, and Lu Shenhuai said how much she wanted. The underlying meaning was that she had the final say on the amount of silver.
Lu Chen said: "Go up first, Commander Cheng is still waiting for me."
Liang Yuan hummed and turned to look at Cheng Jie.
The latter's face turned pale, and he slapped Wang Zhu on the face, "Bitch, why don't you apologize to Miss Liang!"
Wang Zhu's face suddenly swollen, and tears fell like pearls.
Hao Yun slumped on the chair and looked at Liang Yuan, who didn't look at her and looked like a stranger.
