Chen Yuan nodded and listened carefully to Zhao Nanshan's story. Although a lot of the information may be out of date, it was still of great help to him.
It was also from Zhao Nanshan that Chen Yuan learned how dangerous it was outside.
Ping'an County, a small county, is like a small place in a corner, safe and small.
Zhao Nanshan rambled on about what he knew, reminding Chen Yuan that there were opportunities outside, as well as dangers.
After a while, he stopped talking.
"How is An Jin's practice going?"
Zhao Nanshan asked after finishing speaking.
Chen Yuan did not answer, but gently placed his right palm on the stone table and patted it lightly.
"Click..."
The stone table was suddenly covered with cracks.
Zhao Nanshan's pupils shrank, and his heart was full of inexplicable horror. He was shocked that Chen Yuan's strength had reached this level at this moment, and with such understanding,
Such a talent for cultivation.
This boy is so terrifying!
But on the surface, Zhao Nanshan still maintained a calm expression and said calmly:
"It's pretty good."
Chen Yuan nodded, not thinking that his own strength could eclipse Zhao Nanshan. In Chen Yuan's eyes, Zhao Nanshan was still a person with a lot of strength and good at hiding his clumsiness.
"It's all Mr. Zhao's suggestion."
He said this very seriously, and at the same time he was very grateful to Zhao Nanshan. He was able to master the secrets of An Jin in such a short period of time, and it was inseparable from Zhao Nanshan's tips.
Without him telling him everything he had learned over the years, Chen Yuan would not have been able to practice so quickly.
"Well, of course there are also your own efforts..."
Zhao Nanshan reached out and brushed his gray beard, feeling a little ashamed. He had been practicing for nearly ten years before he could achieve such skill. How many days had Chen Yuan been practicing?
Even with his guidance and guidance, this talent is truly astonishing.
Chen Yuan glanced at Zhao Nanshan and smiled, without saying anything else.
"Come back and see me more often when you have time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, Ping'an County is the place where I grew up. Besides, Nanling Mansion is not far from here, so it won't be a troublesome thing to come back..."
"That's good."
"Mr. Zhao, we can tell you now what's going on with Xu Lingtian of Longhumen."
Chen Yuan had asked about Xu Lingtian's situation sideways before, but Zhao Nanshan obviously didn't know much about it. After all, he was already far away from there.
Even Zhao Nanshan's name may be a pseudonym.
It's not impossible.
If Zhao Nanshan had a big grudge against the master of the Dragon and Tiger Clan, why didn't Xu Lingtian eradicate it and instead let him live the rest of his life in peace and stability?
Chen Yuan learned from Zhao Nanshan that only Xu Lingtian might be at the peak of Ning Gang Realm, and he didn't know about the others.
Zhao Nanshan was silent for a long time and whispered:
"I was born in the Longhu Clan back then, and once..."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan clicked his tongue a little, it was really cliche. When he was young, Zhao Nanshan was Xu Lingtian's senior brother. He had cultivated to the realm of Ningsha at a young age and was regarded as the most outstanding disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Clan of that generation.
But later, because of a woman, Xu Lingtian turned against Zhao Nanshan. Not only did he frame him, but he also severed all the meridians in his body. Using his last strength, Zhao Nanshan fell into the river.
But Zhao Nanshan is not like the protagonist in the movie, who can rise up from a loser, pretend to be strong and slap the woman in the face, and then make Xu Lingtian kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, while twisting his mouth.
His meridians were really severed and his heart was injured. Finally, he used a secret magic technique to repair some of his meridians, but the price he paid was an instantaneous decline in body function by dozens of years.
That's why he looks like he does now, and he is only in his early forties this year!
"Is Longhumen very strong?" Chen Yuan asked in a low voice.
"If you look at Nanling Mansion, it is considered a first-rate sect."
"Mr. Zhao, you asked me to avenge you and kill Xu Lingtian. Do you want me to take back the woman you just talked about?"
Zhao Nanshan's eyes were a little lonely and he shook his head slowly.
"Have you... seen through it all, that this world is not worth it?"
Chen Yuan felt a wave of emotion and blurted out the question subconsciously.
"My body doesn't allow it anymore..."
Chen Yuan: "???"
He felt Wang Ping's feelings. He was speechless when he said unserious words from a seemingly serious person.
"Don't be impulsive when you arrive at Nanling Mansion. Think before you act. Xu Lingtian is a smart man. Don't take action when you are not sure of victory." Zhao Nanshan's face straightened and he warned solemnly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I understand."
Chen Yuan himself is not an impulsive person. Xu Lingtian, who is at the peak of Ning Gang realm, is not someone he can deal with now, and even scheming is impossible.
Conspiracies and calculations are trivial after all.
If his strength allows, Chen Yuan also likes to push him all the way.
Zhao Nanshan nodded, stood up slowly, and raised his hand:
"Wait..."
After saying that, he walked towards the room not far away.
There was some expectation on Chen Yuan's face. Zhao Nanshan seemed to have brought him good things from that hut several times before. Could it be that he was leaving this time?
Zhao Nanshan gives himself one last gift?
Not long after, Zhao Nanshan walked out of the room, holding a wooden box covered with black lines in his hand. He placed it on the stone table and pushed it in front of Chen Yuan.
"This is?"
Chen Yuan straightened his body.
"Open it and see for yourself." Zhao Nanshan said directly without any nonsense.
"Bata."
Chen Yuan opened the wooden box and found three dark brown pills inside. There was a strange fragrance that went straight to his nose. They were about the size of a thumb and had some natural lines on them.
"What kind of elixir is this?"
Zhao Nanshan sighed and whispered:
"This elixir is called Xuanling Dan. It is the body-tempering elixir I used when I was practicing. It has been kept since it was abolished. It is of no use anymore, so I will give it to you."
"Does the Ning Gang realm also require body tempering?"
Chen Yuan only knew that martial arts foundation building was the realm of body refining to prepare for receiving Qi, but he did not know much about the Ning Gang realm.
"Physical refining is different from body tempering. Body refining uses Qi and blood to refine the body, muscles, bones and skin, while body tempering uses the vitality of heaven and earth to temper the internal organs. Otherwise, how can one condense evil spirits?"
Chen Yuan nodded in understanding:
"But...can the elixirs used in the Ning Gang realm also be used to refine the body?"
"Of course, although the main function of this pill is not here, it can still be extremely effective at the bone refining level. One pill is enough to be equivalent to the medicinal power of ten tiger bone pills."
"However, this elixir is expensive and is rarely used for practicing in the foundation-building realm. I can't use it, otherwise I wouldn't give it to you..." Zhao Nanshan glanced at Chen Yuan.
It seems to say that he has no knowledge.
"And...while refining the bones, a little medicinal power will penetrate into the internal organs to nourish them, which can be considered a benefit."
Zhao Nanshan spared no effort to explain to Chen Yuan.
"Mr. Zhao."
"Um?"
"I have one more question."
"what is the problem?"
"You said this pill was the pill you used in your original practice, but it was more than ten years before you were injured. This pill..." Chen Yuan looked up and down at the pill in the wooden box, feeling a little confused.
I was attracted by the effectiveness that Zhao Nanshan said, but I was also a little confused about whether this thing had expired.
Can the current storage environment really guarantee the quality for more than ten years?
Could it be that the medicine in it is gone?
With Chen Yuan's strength, he is not afraid of getting a bad stomach, but... he is afraid of some other situations.
"The medicinal materials used in the Foundation Building Realm are different from those used in the Ning Gang Realm. The elixirs that can assist in absorbing Qi and tempering the body are mixed with elixirs and can be stored even for twenty years."
"Elixir..."
Chen Yuan heard another new term.
"All elixirs are nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth. Each one is priceless. Mysterious elixirs like this are usually only mixed with a little bit."
"But even a little bit can greatly increase the value of this elixir."
"When you join the Tianxun Division in the future, you will naturally know. It is useless to know too much now. You only need to know that this elixir is useful to you."
"If you hadn't cultivated An Jin and had extraordinary strength, I wouldn't have given you the Xuanling Pill, otherwise it would have harmed you..."
"There are countless examples of people whose own muscles and bones cannot bear it, but are instead damaged by the force of the medicine."
Zhao Nanshan shook his head slowly.
The reason why he asked Chen Yuan how his An Jin practice was before was to prepare for this elixir.
The strength shown by Chen Yuan is already extremely strong at the level of bone refining, and he can shatter a stone table with a single palm, which is enough to prove that Chen Yuan's strength and muscles are more than enough to withstand the power of the Xuanling Pill.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the gift."
Chen Yuan's face straightened, he cupped his hands and said.
Should I say it or not, Zhao Nanshan is indeed very interested in Chen Yuan. He has helped him a lot and given him many pointers. This old man is very good at dealing with things, and he has really done it in the past!
If there is a chance to find a spiritual object to repair meridians in the future, Chen Yuan will not be stingy.
"Do you know why I value you so much?"
Zhao Nanshan stared at Chen Yuan and said calmly.
"Isn't it because I am the protagonist-->>

? "Chen Yuan said something secretly.
Of course, this was just his fleeting thought.
How could he be the protagonist of the legend?
"Why?"
"Because your personality is very suitable for walking in the world, and you are much smarter than I was back then," Zhao Nanshan said softly.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much."
"Okay, these pills are the last help I can give you, let's go..."
Zhao Nanshan waved his hand.
"Farewell, I'll see you next time."
Chen Yuan stood up.
"Next time I see you, remember to get something. Every time you come empty-handed, you have to take something from me," Zhao Nanshan shook his head and said helplessly.
At first, he valued Chen Yuan, but he was more defensive.
"Definitely next time!"
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Looking at Chen Yuan's retreating back, Zhao Nanshan stared for a while before standing up, walking towards the room, opening the wooden board under the table,
Inside....empty.
This time he meant it.
There is nothing good left for Chen Yuan...
After bidding farewell to Zhao Nanshan, Chen Yuan went to Wang Ping's house with some food and wine.
He has no friends in Ping'an County except Wang Ping. As for Zhu Sihai's mutual interest relationship, let alone Tie Qinghua.
There is a brother-killing hatred between them.
Originally, Chen Yuan was thinking about annihilating the family, but looking at Tie Qinghua's appearance, he still thought that his enemies were demons from the Wusheng Cult. After thinking for a long time, he gave up his thoughts.
The Tie family has a lot of wealth. No one knows how long a woman like Tie Qinghua can keep it. Maybe the family was wiped out by other forces after Chen Yuan left?
These are not impossible.
In short, there is no relationship between them anymore, and perhaps they will never see each other again.
Not to mention saying goodbye.
Not long after, Chen Yuan came to Wang Ping's house.
Their family is much wealthier than Chen Yuan's family. It has a two-entry house and is considered middle class in Ping'an County.
"Brother Yuan..."
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Ping hurried out of the door and saw what was in Chen Yuan's hand.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Ping vaguely seemed to realize something.
"You and I are friends, it's like saying goodbye."
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows while holding the wine and meat.
...
...
On the roof of Wang's house.
Two figures were sitting, taking sips of wine from time to time. There were several empty wine jars next to them. There was a small wooden table between them with several side dishes placed on it.
Most of it has been eaten, leaving only a pile of beef and a plate of peanuts.
Wang Ping pinched a peanut and put it into his mouth. He stared blankly at the setting sun in front of him and murmured:
"Brother Yuan, once you leave, I will really have no confidant in Ping'an County."
A black line appeared on Chen Yuan's forehead. Why did Wang Ping seem to be preparing to send him away with his words?
whispered:
"Isn't there also Guo Xu? I heard that you guys have gotten quite close recently."
"Guo Xu is just a fair-weather friend. Brother Yuan, we are half-brothers." Wang Ping shook his head and muttered.
"When you gain strength in the future, just come to me again."
Chen Yuan smiled.
"Maybe that day will come, but I don't think I have much hope. I'm not talented enough, and following you will only hinder me..."
"Not really."
"It's actually quite good in a small county. It's safe and sound. In the future, we may hear about Brother Yuan's reputation spreading to our Pingan County."
Wang Ping looked envious.
He envied people like Chen Yuan, but he knew he couldn't do it.
"That day will come."
Chen Yuan looked at the fiery red sun intently, full of confidence.
People always have to be on the move.
Chen Yuan's driving force is power, strength, and awe-inspiring!
In this dangerous world, only fists are real.
"When the time comes, I will tell others that Chen Yuan is my good big brother, hahaha..." Wang Ping laughed heartily.
Although Chen Yuan had never reprimanded him since he became the head catcher, Wang Ping himself understood that the relationship between them could no longer be the same as before.
Now that Brother Yuan is leaving, he has finally regained the feeling of walking around Goulan with Chen Yuan arm in arm.
At that time...
Brother Yuan is as young as him, and he is free and leisurely every day.
"How's that marriage your father told you about before?"
Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
"It's yellow."
"Are you jealous? Don't you really like her?" Chen Yuan was a little surprised.
"I like a lot of people, who is she?"
"hehe..."
"She's a bit strong. I feel like I can't hold it back, and I can't help it..." After a moment of silence, Wang Ping suddenly said.
Since asking Chen Yuan that day, Wang Ping has also tried it, but after much thought, he decided to give up. Marrying a woman who is too strong will be difficult in the future.
Visiting a brothel was something you couldn't even think about.
He wants to marry someone he can suppress.
Of course, there is actually another very important reason that Wang Ping did not mention.
He always felt that the reason why the family approved of the marriage and the reason why the woman did not object was because she valued the relationship between him and Brother Yuan and wanted to deal with Brother Yuan through him.
After all, everyone in Ping'an County knew that Wang Ping was following Chen Yuan, and the relationship between them was very deep.
Now that Brother Yuan is leaving, Wang Ping knows that he cannot continue, otherwise it will not only cause some trouble to Brother Yuan, but he will not be able to get there.
"It would be good to find a gentle and virtuous girl."
Chen Yuan was silent for a moment and said.
In another world, he had such a dream, but unfortunately, there were too few good girls, so he could only take care of those girls who claimed to be good girls.
"Brother Yuan."
"Um?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"what is the problem?"
"Why did you change so quickly? In the past few months, you clearly..."
He had asked this question before, but Chen Yuan had not answered it directly. Wang Ping had always kept it in his heart.
"I had a dream before about what I would be like in the next thirty years. I found that there was almost no difference from now, and I lived a similar life to now."
"Later, I read a legend in the county annals,
According to legend, there are martial arts masters who can break mountains with one punch, and sword immortals who can block rivers with one sword. They have extraordinary longevity and look down on the world like immortals.
I want to be them too. "
Chen Yuan said in a low voice.
"Is there any immortal...really?"
Wang Ping stared ahead.
"I don't know, maybe there is. The county captain can jump several feet and easily break bluestone with his palm. That existence that is more terrifying than his strength may be able to do it.
I don’t want to accept my fate, I want to see what the peak of martial arts is like,
I think, eternal life..."
Wang Ping turned to look at Chen Yuan and saw that his face was calm and firm, not joking.
"Brother Yuan."
"Um?"
"I believe you can do it."
"Um!"
As the sun set, two figures pinched peanuts and put them into their mouths from time to time, chatting about what kind of existence a strong martial artist was, and whether immortals really existed?
It is said that the courtesans outside must be as beautiful as Miss Xiaoyue.
Wang Ping said that he couldn't see it himself, and hoped that Chen Yuan could.
Chen Yuan said that he is not good at women.
Wang Ping said, “I don’t believe it!”
Chen Yuan said: "How dare you believe it or not!"
Wang Ping said that when Chen Yuan becomes rich in the future, don’t forget to let him ascend to heaven.
He also wants to be a master.
Chen Yuan said, Wang Ping, don’t compare yourself too much and just be yourself.
Wang Ping said...
Chen Yuan said...
On this day, they all talked a lot, and Chen Yuan also talked the most since he traveled to this world.
After a long time, Chen Yuan left alone, leaving Wang Ping alone sitting on the roof. The wine jar beside him was tilted upside down, and the peanuts on the plate were dry.
