Jiuxuan, in Qian Chao's small courtyard.
"Hey, this is it, help me refine it."
After taking a sip of the hot tea served by Qian Chao, Senior Sister Luo took out a stack of paper and handed it over.
The first piece of paper was drawn as a disk with some vertical and horizontal lines on it. Qian Chao didn't recognize the object, so he continued to look at the paper at the back.
Qian Chao finally understood the second piece of paper. It turns out that the disk can be taken apart according to the zigzag patterns on it. When put together, it becomes a disk, but it can be refined separately during refining. Made. The paper at the back shows what kind of runes will be used on each part of the disk when it is disassembled and where each rune will be. It seems that there must be no deviation in these positions. Senior Sister Luo emphasized on the paper. Write these down.
After careful calculation, there are as many as thirty-two runes used on this disc, and they are all unknown to me. However, Qian Chao is not in a hurry. Senior Sister Luo asked me to refine it. Then these runes will naturally be taught to myself.
"How's it going? How long will it take to refine it for me?" Senior Sister Luo asked after seeing Qian Chao finish reading the pieces of paper.
"Senior Sister Luo, it seems that refining is not difficult, but these runes above..."
Before Qian Chao could finish speaking, Senior Sister Luo took out another stack of paper and handed it to him.
This is strange. The last time I refined the spirit locking stake for Senior Sister Luo, I didn’t know the runes on it. Senior Sister Luo gave me two books to read. Those two books made Qian Chaohao Very beneficial. But this time there were so many runes that I didn't recognize, but I only gave myself a few pieces of paper to read. Could it be that... the book that records these thirty-two runes or the book that records the use of this disc is very important to Senior Sister Luo, so I can't Show off easily? Or is it that Senior Luo behind Senior Sister Luo doesn't allow her to do this?
After reading that book, is it possible to have an introductory mastery of the art of formation?
"I know what you are thinking. The last time I showed you those two books, I was taught a lesson. You little guy is too smart. My family's knowledge cannot be easily passed on to others, let alone stolen. , this time I ask you to refine this thing, all you can see is on these pieces of paper, don’t think about anything else. It will naturally be beneficial to you if you help me refine it properly."
"Yes, yes." Qian Chao said, focusing on these pieces of paper.
"Tell me how long it will take to refine it. I'm still waiting to use it."
"Senior Sister Luo, if it is really refined, it is not difficult. The difficulty is that I have to memorize the runes used, Junior Brother. Only in this way can I properly refine them for Senior Sister."
"Is ten days enough?"
"almost."
"Okay, then I will come find you in ten days."
…
In the Houtu Temple, Lu Pingchuan sat on a futon with his upper body bare and meditating. At this time, the red color on his skin had not faded, and steam was rising, as if he had just been lifted out of a steamer. But now Lu Pingchuan looked tired, as if he was too tired to even sit upright, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and he was breathing heavily.
His senior brother Xi Kan arrived at the gate of Kang Fu's cave at some unknown time, and was patting Lu Pingchuan's back with both hands from behind. Kang Fu was sitting on a chair opposite Lu Pingchuan, looking at him with a smile and a cigarette in his mouth.
"It's okay, kid. It's much better than I thought. Not bad."
It turned out that after Lu Pingchuan drank the blood soul wine, his whole body was red and he was extremely strong. There was always an urge to try in his body. Fortunately, his mind was still clear. Although the master asked him to hit him, it was the master after all. At first, Lu Pingchuan Pingchuan still couldn't let go. Later, under Kang Fu's scolding and teasing, he used all his skills. He thought that even if he couldn't hurt his master, he would be able to make him take a step back. Unfortunately, in In front of Kang Fu, Lu Pingchuan's figure was blurred like a storm of punches and kicks, but each time Kang Fu caught him gently and deftly with one hand, without even touching the edge of his master's clothes. This made Lu Pingchuan Pingchuan was surprised and excited, and worked harder and harder. As a result, a sudden emptiness like ebbing tide came over him while he was typing. Lu Pingchuan lost all his strength for a while, and he couldn't even stand steadily. He fell to the ground. Only then did he know that Master The weakness mentioned after the Liquor Soul Technique is true. Even if an uncultivated mortal wanted to kill him at this time, it would be easy.
Just when Kang Fu was nonchalantly blocking Lu Pingchuan's attacks, Xi Kan came back to find his master. When he saw the scene between his master and his disciple, he was immediately surprised. The crimson color on his junior brother's body naturally made Xi Kan know what was going on. It's true, he naturally also has the technique of wine soul, but he didn't expect that his master would teach this method to his junior brother so early. He has only just reached the third level of Qi refining. Can his body and bones bear it?
"Well, it's not bad, it's enough to take two cups of tea, and the strength of your attack just now is at least the quality of the middle-level Qi refining..."
"What, Master, are you only at the intermediate level of Qi refining?"
Xi Kan stood behind Lu Pingchuan and continued to help him circulate Qi and blood around his body while saying: "Junior brother, it is your first time to use this wine soul method. Do you think how strong you can be? Is it possible that you are still thinking about yourself? Did every punch just now reach the level of foundation building? It’s already very good. Senior brother, my master only taught me this method when I was in the advanced stage of Qi refining. I drank this blood soul wine for the first time and barely persisted. It only takes a cup of tea.”
"Your kid's qualifications are much better than those of your senior brothers, so this method can be passed on to you now, but again, don't use it indiscriminately, let alone use it twice in a row. You know, using it in succession is a big mistake. court death!"
"Yes, I understand, Master."
"I just told you what kind of blood can be used. Now let me tell you about the wine. My wine was brewed for me by that old man Tang, as was your senior brother's. But since you are with that girl Tang, Well done. Just go find that girl for the wine you want. Let’s just say it’s the wine used in the Liquor Soul Technique. It’s not something you usually drink. She should know that. If she doesn’t know how to brew it, let her go find it. Old man Tang goes to learn it, and then he can prepare a few bottles and take them with him in case of emergencies."
"Well, okay Master, I will go find her later."
Xi Kan stopped his hand behind Lu Pingchuan's back. After a while of slapping and kneading, he found that his junior brother had gradually regained his strength in such a short period of time. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, secretly thinking that his excellent qualifications were indeed extraordinary. After drinking the blood soul wine for the first time, the weakness lasted for nearly an hour before it slowly dissipated. Now this junior brother seems to have recovered to some extent.
"Junior brother, you guys need to practice quickly. I know a few good places outside the sect, but you have to pass at least the fifth level before you can go there. It's still not possible now. It's dangerous. When you break through the fifth level, I’ll tell you those places, maybe you can find something good there.”
"okay!"
…
Mu Xiufeng, purple bamboo forest.
In the purple bamboo forest, black smoke filled the air and there was a loud "buzzing" sound. Naturally, Li Jian went to the bamboo forest in the morning without anything to do and aroused the wild bees inside. Groups of them flew out from their hiding places, trying to Drive this guy out again who is causing trouble again.
Although Li Jian, the wild bee in the bamboo forest, is ferocious, it is much different from the bamboo-piercing wind and greedy ants he saw outside the sect. With Li Jian's current cultivation level, if it is really When they encountered Zhuan Zhufeng and Greedy Ant, they had no choice but to turn around and run away.
If Li Jian was still using these wild bees in the forest to hone his sword skills as before, then he would be able to deal with these wild bees with ease now, but now he has other uses for these wild bees.
Li Jian's bamboo forest is very vast. From the mountain ridge over there, the entire hillside belongs to him. However, there are clusters of purple bamboos in the bamboo forest, and old and young bamboos are clustered closely together. The paths in the forest are also winding and narrow. It would be fine to walk in this forest on weekdays, but Li Jian's eyes were covered at the moment. A piece of cloth was used to cover his eyes. Not only that, Li Jian also used two broken pieces of cloth, rolled them into small balls and stuffed them into his ears. Now he could neither see the swarms of bees surging around him, nor hear the buzzing and noisy swarm of bees flapping their wings. He relied only on his own senses and did not draw his sword, fighting among the bees. He flashed past in the fleeting gap among the flying crowds. In the darkness and silence, he smelled a slightly sweet breath between his nose. Alas, he still had to breathe after all, but he had a way. He closed his breath for a while and isolated the sweet fragrance.
A drop of wild honey accumulated bigger and bigger from the bright yellow honeycomb, and finally it dripped down as it couldn't bear it anymore. Under the stone wall, Li Jian had placed many bamboo tubes made of old bamboo in advance. Not only the drop of wild honey, but also A lot of wild honey dripped in drop by drop, but the bamboo tube under this drop of wild honey was almost overflowing.
Li Jian quickly stretched out a finger to catch the drop of honey that was about to fall into the bamboo tube, and then put his finger into his mouth for a sip. Well, it was really sweet. Although his eyes were still covered with cloth, he seemed to be able to Seeing the many bamboo tubes in front of me, I stretched out my hand to pick up the tube that was about to overflow with honey, and placed a diabolo tube steadily in its original position with the other hand. Then Li Jian quickly bent down, turned sideways, and stepped to avoid the attacks of several groups of wild bees, and then fled back to the forest path, twisting and turning to avoid clumps of bamboo, and from time to time, he was in the right place among the wild bees. He either leaned over to the side or jumped up high. In short, he turned out of the bamboo forest without any danger.
After leaving the bamboo forest, the swarm of wild bees stopped chasing him. Li Jian, still blindfolded, came to the stone table in front of his bamboo room and put the bamboo tube in his hand on the stone table. During the whole process, almost all the bees in the bamboo tube were Not a drop of the overflowing honey was spilled. At this time, Li Jian took a long breath, stretched out his hand to untie the cloth strips on his head, and took out the cloth balls in his ears. He looked back at the bamboo forest behind him and couldn't help but laugh.
He couldn't do this at first. After blindfolding his eyes and plugging his ears, he ran into walls one after another in the forest. He either hit bamboo or was almost injured by a wild bee. Therefore, he was always hit by wild bees in the beginning. The wild bees were driven out, and he also found that his induction would easily tire him out if he maintained it for a long time. However, he is a perseverant person after all. He often does this several times a day and is now considered proficient. Even his own sense of touch feels a bit stronger than before.
