Sitting on the low stool in the room, Lu Ming opened the mini game system.
Looking at the properties panel, he saw that the Disguise and Bone Change Sutra had appeared on the properties panel.
However, this property...
[Disguise and Change the Bone Sutra (Level 6 Martial Arts) (One Star)]
[Effect of the skill: Reduce the character's health by 10 points and move the speed by 5%. 】
Yes, Lu Ming read that right.
Not increase, but decrease...
However, this attribute also has a basis in reality.
This is because the principle of changing one's appearance and bone meridian through disguise is to change the appearance and body shape through the circulation of blood and energy. This even requires the power of blood and energy to forcibly change the position of certain bones.
After using the disguise to change the description, it will affect the circulation of blood, bone position, limb length, etc. to a certain extent - in other words, the strength after the change will inevitably be reduced by a small amount.
After all, the body is still familiar and comfortable to use.
However, he did not rush to remove the Bone Change Sutra from the top ten limits, but instead used it to knock off some of his star fingers.
Because Lu Ming needs to improve his proficiency in the Disguise and Bone Transformation Sutra.
In reality, this is called small success, great success, and perfection; in the game, this is called rising star.
Moreover, Lu Ming’s current martial arts configuration cannot pass the third level, but if he wants to pass the first level and the second level, he will not be short of the debuffs of Star Finger and Disguise Bone Sutra...
Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked at other martial arts.
The three-phase demon-turning technique and the blood-killing sword technique are still one star.
But the clouds crossing the river, the dragon chanting on the iron cloth, the Bagua shaking thunder steps, and Zhou Tian's inducing orifice techniques have all arrived at the second star.
Yuanhe Yin Lei Sword even arrived at Samsung!
Obviously the frequency of use of the Blood Killing Sword is similar to that of the Yuan He Yin Lei Sword...
Lu Ming thought like this in his mind, and felt that it might be because he understood the relationship between Yuan He Yin Lei Sword's ultimate move, which caused Yuan He Yin Lei Sword's star rating to rise rapidly, reaching three stars.
Turning off the mini-game system, Lu Ming closed his eyes and kept thinking.
"Ignore the third level for now, the main thing is the second level."
"The meridion-opening reward in the second level is very useful for me to break through to the fifth level. There can't be too much of it. It's best to reach the limit."
"What's more, I still need the Kaiqiao Pill to make a deal with Bajimen."
In a previous transaction with Hong Yong, Lu Ming spent two Qi and Blood Pills, a poison-removing pill, and a resuscitation pill, in exchange for Hong Yong's move, a book of disguise and bone modification, and Wen Yu's identity.
Lu Ming didn't mention it anymore.
Because when he was traveling around the world, he was still facing a fourth-level powerhouse like Hong Yong, so Lu Ming still understood the principle of keeping wealth secret.
The single transaction volume is smaller, and with the relationship between Wei Yuan and Lu Yao, there is a high probability that Hong Yong will not act out of fear and rob Lu Ming.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Ming said "come in", the door opened, and a young novice monk in green clothes, about ten years old, walked in from the door holding a quilt.
His whole body was covered by the quilt. Lu Ming couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't see the road ahead.
He staggered and stumbled on the threshold again, and fell forward with a sound.
Just when Xuan Yi felt bad, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him and lifted him up.
Lu Ming held the little novice steady with one hand and picked up the quilt with the other. Lu Ming smiled at the little novice.
"Young Master, please be careful."
The young novice monk in Tsing Yi was confused. He was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly bowed to Lu Ming with his hands together.
"Amitabha, thank the donor, thank the donor, thank the donor."
He said this three times, then took the bedding from Lu Ming's hand, put it on the bed, and turned around to leave.
But Lu Ming said softly: "Young Master said nothing about the benefactor, just be polite."
"In Wenyu, I am a lay disciple of Faxuan Temple, and I have met my junior brother."
He joked like this with a smile, but the little novice monk froze on the spot.
He scratched his head with a confused look on his face, and seemed to come to his senses after a long time.
"Donor, aren't you still Senior Brother Wenyu?"
Just now Xuanzhen made it clear that a handyman monk would come to explain the bedding and some follow-up matters, and this handyman monk was definitely a trustworthy person.
Lu Ming's face straightened and he performed a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha, don't worry about your bones, skin, and flesh. Junior brother, you are obsessed with your appearance."
"From today on, I am your senior brother Wenyu."
The little novice monk was so naive that he couldn't figure out the relationship for a while. After a long time, he could only let out a sigh and raised his legs to leave, but was stopped by Lu Ming.
"By the way, you still don't know your junior brother's name?"
The young novice monk quickly turned around and clasped his hands together and said: "The young monk's name is Xuanyi."
Looking up again, he saw Lu Ming's smiling face.
"But I don't know. Senior brother, it will be convenient for me to drink water and eat in the future, so where should I go?"
These details of food, clothing, housing and transportation are obviously all arranged by Xuanyi... But the young novice seems a bit clumsy and naive, and his memory does not seem to be very good...
After Lu Ming finished speaking, Xuan Yi was in a daze before he remembered this matter.
"Ah, Senior Brother Xuanzhen said that I will deliver all the meals this time. You can reach the hut 30 meters left by turning left. It's quite eye-catching."
"But senior brother, it's best to stay in the house. Junior Brother Gongtong will take care of it."
After saying this, Xuan Yi seemed to finally recall Xuan Zhen's instructions.
"There is also the matter of face change. When Senior Brother Wen Yu was on the mountain, I was most familiar with him. If it is the benefactor... Senior Brother Wen Yu... no, the benefactor... it is not..."
Xuan Yi was confused for a moment until Lu Ming confirmed: "It's Senior Brother Wenyu."
Xuan Yi suddenly realized: "If Senior Brother Wen Yu has anything you don't understand, just ask me."
Lu Ming recited Amitabha: "Then thank you in advance, junior brother."
"Senior brother, don't be polite."
Xuan Yi was about to leave again, but Lu Ming spoke again: "I still need to ask my junior brother about something."
"Senior brother, please speak."
"Does our Faxuan Temple have a secret path down the mountain?"
Yes, there definitely is.
The external situation of Faxuan Temple is not good, and there must be a way out. It is obviously reasonable to build several secret passages on such a large mountain.
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Xuanyi's face immediately hesitated.
He did not hide his expression, so from Xuan Yi's expression, Lu Ming could know two things.
First, there is a secret passage in Faxuan Temple, and Xuanyi also knows about it.
Second, Xuanzhen didn't tell him about the secret passage, but he also didn't tell him not to tell Lu Ming about the secret passage, so he couldn't come up with an idea himself.
I felt that the secret passage should not be told to outsiders, but I also felt that since the benefactor assumed the identity of Senior Brother Wen Yu, he was one of our own.
Seeing Xuan Yi's troubled expression, Lu Ming suddenly smiled.
"This matter is not urgent. Does Junior Brother have anything else to do soon?"
Xuanyi clasped his palms together: "Nothing else."
The third level of martial arts requires poison to be introduced into the body. If you are too young, you cannot practice martial arts. As a handyman monk who has access to the secrets of Faxuan Temple, Xuanyi's identity is obviously not just an ordinary handyman monk.
That's why he doesn't have much work to do.
Lu Ming said again: "Why don't you talk to me?"
Xuanyi looked stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Donor, what do you want to talk about?"
He didn't even call him "Senior Brother", obviously because he was afraid that Lu Ming would trick him.
Lu Ming really wanted to fool him...
But it's not that he has bad intentions, he just wants to have a relationship with this Xuanyi, and it's good to have an informant in Fuxuan Temple, so that he won't know everything, and he won't be able to figure out the signs if something happens.
——Lu Ming has a certain amount of trust in Hong Yong and Faxuan Temple.
But how can we be completely convinced?
Looking at Xuan Yi's temperament, he seems to be quite upright and naive, and building a good relationship will bring no harm at all.
Facing Xuan Yi's guarded eyes, Lu Ming thought about it and said, "I'll tell you a story, and treat it as a greeting gift for senior brother."
"story?"
"Well, let's tell a story about Swordsman..."
…
Two hours later, Lu Ming's mouth was dry as he spoke, and a thunderous voice came from Lu Ming's belly.
He withdrew his magical power and looked at Xuan Yi, who was squatting like a puppy, staring at stars and listening to the intoxication. He couldn't help but say: "That junior brother..."
Xuan Yi was still immersed in the story and couldn't help but let out an "ah" when he heard Lu Ming's voice.
"Well, food, and water..."
Xuan Yi suddenly understood.
He stood up and walked out the door with his head turned three times, until Lu Ming's voice rang into his ears: "We can talk more after dinner later."
Xuan Yi immediately grinned with a big smile.
"Then it's settled, senior brother."
Lu Ming nodded: "It's agreed."
After about two sticks of incense, Xuan Yi brought the vegetarian food, and Lu Ming and Xuan Yi began to eat and drink together quietly.
It wasn't until he finished the meal that Xuanyi suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, senior brother, I asked senior brother Xuanzhen just now and he said there is a secret passage that I can tell you."
Lu Ming nodded, not surprised.
This identity was arranged for him by Hong Yong, and the two parties also agreed on the next transaction, so Lu Ming had to go down the mountain to get the elixir, and a safe and hidden way out of the mountain was indispensable.
This is also part of the identity transaction.
Thinking like this, he suddenly found that Xuan Yi was looking at him unblinkingly with those bright eyes.
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and heard Xuan Yi whisper.
"That senior brother is so proud of the world..."
This little monk also has some inner wisdom.
Lu Ming smiled hoarsely: "Tell me, let's continue."
"That's great, senior brother!"
Xuan Yi jumped two feet high and didn't care whether he was nourishing his energy or not.
After pouring a cup of tea, Lu Ming took a sip and rinsed his mouth, then said in a measured tone: "The book mentioned in the last chapter..."
Night is coming.
The lights were on in the room, each light was like a bean.
Lu Ming's voice rang out faintly from the room, and from time to time there were the little monk's exclamations and screams.
Xuanzhen's figure came from outside, stood by the window and listened for a while, and gradually became intoxicated.
After a long time, Xuanzhen shook his head, smiled slightly, stopped listening, turned and walked away.
…
At the turn of the sun and the moon, after seeing off Xiao Xuanyi who was yawning but still not satisfied, Lu Ming returned to bed and opened the mini game system.
The second level, start killing!
Half an hour later, he successfully passed the level and obtained the enlightenment pill. Twenty consecutive times of opening the meridians made Lu Ming feel so comfortable that he could not extricate himself!
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs.
The three-phase demon-turning skill, which had been silent for a long time, was successfully upgraded to a second star.
As martial arts insights came one after another, Lu Ming suddenly felt that the speed of the three-phase demon-turning technique had accelerated a lot, and the speed of blood energy cultivation had also increased a lot.
With the continuous opening of the meridians, Lu Ming's internal meridians are already worthy of being called a genius, and his total blood energy is no less than that of an average sixth-grade peak warrior, but it is obviously not yet Lu Ming's peak.
But it's soon.
As the martial arts insights of several martial arts were quickly digested and absorbed by Lu Ming, when it came time for Zhou Tian to use the Aperture Technique, Lu Ming seemed to have such a feeling.
——In the body, countless orifices are numb and itchy, and it is only when the sixth level peaks and the true meaning of the fifth level true martial arts is obtained that the difficulty of breaking through the orifices will be greatly reduced.
The Zhoutian Yinqiao method is indeed very cool.
Speaking of which, there is no such thing as a bad thing that can help you break through levels.
The last thing is to change the appearance and change the bones.
In his mind, Lu Ming's projected body and face kept changing, sometimes with regular features, sometimes with a ferocious appearance, sometimes with a tall figure, sometimes with a thin figure.
Moreover, the difficulty of practicing this secret method does not seem to be high. Lu Ming has a hunch that within three days, this skill can reach the star level and reach the so-called Xiaocheng state of Xuanzhen.
By then, Lu Ming would have some capital to leave the mountain.
…
On the second day, Xuanyi delivered meals and then continued to listen to stories.
It's just a little noisy outside.
Qing Yuluo was still shouting, blocking the gate of Faxuan Temple and scolding him.
However, after closing the doors and windows, Lu Ming could barely get a piece of pure land.
Telling stories to Xuan Yi, the day has passed.
This is true on the third and fourth days.
On the fifth day, as the disguise and bone sutra successfully ascended to the star, Lu Ming went to Xuan Yi to explore the secret passage.
The entrance of the secret passage is in a dry well, and the exit leads directly into the deep mountains of Faxuan Mountain. The concealment and safety are still guaranteed to a certain extent.
Lu Ming took the opportunity to go out of the mountain and walked around the town outside, pretending to retrieve the elixir.
Return to the mountain at night and return to your peaceful daily routine.
Three days later, at night, Hong Yong came to the door and started a second transaction with Lu Ming.
…
"There are some real skills that our Baji Sect will not trade, and now this catalog is what we can trade. Take a look."
Under the dim light, Hong Yong said this, and then handed over a list.
There are no real skills in the catalog, only light skills and secret sword techniques.
And it’s not the sixth grade, but the fifth grade!
At Lu Ming's request, there are some connections between these techniques, and they may be able to form combinations in mini-games.
But this is not yet certain.
Lu Ming took a quick look and saw about ten lines of text.
Lu Ming's eyes suddenly turned red.
Things, well, he wants them all.
However, the wealth is not revealed... It is not unaffordable to buy it all in one go, but if Hong Yong has a wrong idea, it will be a huge disaster.
Resisting his desire, Lu Ming looked carefully and quickly pointed to a line of words.
"Just these two sword skills."
Fifth grade swordsmanship: Impermanence Sword.
Fifth-level swordsmanship: Sword of Annihilation.
These two swordsmanships come from the same source. They were supposed to be the fourth-grade swordsmanship of the Nirvana Sword, but were split into two fifth-grade martial arts.
The power is greatly reduced, but getting started is much easier - after all, the fourth-grade swordsmanship has no intention, and you can't use it.
As for the fifth-grade swordsmanship, even the sixth-grade Lu Ming couldn't learn it.
Because the circulation of blood energy in the fifth-level swordsmanship involves internal and external acupoints, it cannot be used without opening the acupoints - but Lu Ming himself is almost at the peak of the sixth-level swordsmanship, and it is not difficult for him to attack the fifth-level swordsmanship.
This is the purpose of planning the fifth-grade skills in advance.
"Two enlightenment pills, two sets of double pills."
Hong Yong quoted the price, and Lu Ming pulled out the porcelain bottle from under the bed with a distressed look on his face.
After collecting the things, Hong Yong smiled at Lu Ming.
"Do you want anything else?"
"There aren't many pills left at the moment. It will take another month for my channels to get new pills for resuscitation."
Lu Ming said this with regret on his face, and Hong Yong looked thoughtful after hearing this.
After thinking about it, he said.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"Brother Hong, please tell me."
"The Impermanence Sword and the Nirvana Sword also have a more advanced sword technique."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "But that Sword of Annihilation and Impermanence?"
Hong Yong shook his head: "It's the Killing Styx Sword, a fourth-level sword technique."
"These three martial arts were obtained by the sect master during an expedition. They are closely related to each other, but they do not belong to the main inheritance of our Baji Sect, so they were traded."
"And these techniques have little cause and effect. Once you learn them, you can use them to your heart's content."
"I just want to say that you can also exchange for the Killing Styx Sword, but what you need is not as simple as one or two Qi and Blood Pills..."
After thinking for a while, Hong Yong stretched out two fingers: "At least twenty resuscitating pills, or equivalent Qi and blood pills and detoxifying pills."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time with an expression on his face, and then nodded through gritted teeth.
"I'll save as much as I can!"
As soon as the words fell, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at each other, Hong Yong felt that the fish he caught this time was not too small. Twenty enlightenment pills is not a small number, and it is not a worthwhile trip.
Lu Ming also felt that if he played the second level of the game twenty times and switched to a fourth-level swordsmanship, it would not be a bad deal.
It can be considered a happy ending for everyone.
