Chen Xuerong had mentioned to Zhao Hongming before that it was too early for him to refine the wish stone.
What she said was correct.
Wish stones can generally be refined only after the veins are successfully opened.
In her opinion, it would take at least several years for Zhao Hongming to refine the wish stone because of his special status and his choice of difficult-to-practice exercises.
But I didn't expect Zhao Hongming to break through so smoothly and quickly.
In just a few days, Zhao Hongmingji broke through to the second level of Kai Mai, and already had the ability to refine wish stones.
If she knew about it, she would probably be shocked and call her a monster.
In fact, Zhao Hongming had "self-awareness" and was already making relevant preparations after receiving the wish stone.
To this end, he also checked a lot of information and constantly quoted from the warriors around him to confirm each other.
After several rounds of understanding and preparation, Zhao Hongming felt that he could make his first refining attempt.
The wish stone is a spiritual weapon condensed from the power of wish. Compared with the panacea, although both are refined through swallowing, there are still some differences in the specific subsequent usage of the two.
First of all, some elixirs will dissolve themselves after being swallowed, and the medicinal power in them will also flow out and be absorbed by the flesh and blood.
The wish stone is different.
After swallowing the wish stone, the user will not have any reaction unless he actively uses his true energy to activate it.
Zhao Hongming picked up the wishing stone and put it in his mouth, feeling a slight chill.
Even if it is swallowed, Zhao Hongming can still feel its specific location through the coolness.
Without any further hesitation, Zhao Hongming mobilized the longevity energy in the two meridians of his body to move closer to Yuan Shizhong.
Then the immortal energy is like a stream, constantly flowing through the wish stone, refining it in a 'washing' way.
At the moment of refining, Zhao Hongming seemed to hear the murmur of thousands of people.
This is the wish and belief condensed in the wish stone.
After being refined by the craftsmen of Wei Dynasty, this power has become extremely pure and can be used to summon the essence in the body.
Zhao Hongming held his nerve and used the method of fantasy to expel the distracting thoughts in his mind, leaving only one pure thought.
After a while, he felt a force starting to move within his body.
That is the essence contained in flesh and blood.
At this time, the essence in the body was inspired by Zhao Hongming's thoughts, and all the energy seemed to have found the coordinates. It was affected by the power of faith in the wish stone and began to gather towards the location of the wish stone.
He usually practices the Ageless Breathing Technique. While mobilizing the essence, he is also responsible for converting the essence into the true energy, which is equivalent to 'doing two things at once'.
At this time, the longevity energy seems to have been freed from both hands, constantly absorbing the essence attracted by the wish stone.
The speed of the immortal energy is growing much faster than before.
Zhao Hongming glanced at the martial arts panel in his sight and found that the progress of his Eight Desolations Eternal Kung Fu was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the past hour, 12 points of progress could be added.
Now it has doubled three or four times.
Zhao Hongming was very excited after feeling the magical effect of the wish stone.
With the help of the Wish Stone, martial arts can be improved very quickly.
The difference between using wish stones and not using wish stones is almost like the difference between high-speed rail and green cars in the previous generation.
No wonder all the warriors in the world want to use the wish stone to practice.
It's really kind of magical.
Zhao Hongming also asked about the method of making the wish stone, which is related to luck, and only the royal family in the world can make it.
In this way, the royal families of various countries in the world and their domestic sects and famous families formed a delicate balance, allowing the royal family and martial arts forces to rule the world together.
However, in this balance, the royal families of various countries are in a relatively weak position.
Once the country's monarch or royal family is incapable of governing the country, it fails to bring stability or higher benefits to the major martial arts forces.
Their royal status will be shaken by these martial arts forces.
Under such a premise and background, it is a test of the ability of emperors to govern the country.
This is another reason why the royal family focuses on the art of the emperor and palace studies rather than martial arts.
In the final analysis, martial arts are the most important weapon and confidence in this world.
There is a huge difference between mastering force and not mastering force.
Zhao Hongming doesn't want to live in a fiefdom with such a big mountain of "martial arts power" on his back.
This is inconsistent with his pursuit of freedom and carefree life.
An hour later, the wish stone that Zhao Hongming took into his belly had been completely refined and consumed.
He glanced at the attribute panel of [Tiandao Rewards Qin]:
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu - Second level of pulse opening (122/300)]
[Breaking through techniques: None]
[Today’s practice time: 3 hours]
[Physique: Good]
[Root bone bonus: 1.2]
At this time, the progress of the exercises has reached more than 100.
One hour of using the wish stone was worth his nearly four hours of effort.
This is an improvement based on the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel.
If placed on an ordinary martial artist, one hour of using the wish stone would be worth dozens of days of hard training.
Zhao Hongming couldn't help but feel excited.
According to this progress, if he has enough wish stones, he can break through again in just one day.
But soon, he calmed down again.
Man is the spirit of all things, and his body is a treasure house that can capture the creation of heaven and earth. Theoretically, the energy contained in it can be endless.
But the human body is only that big, and there is an upper limit to the amount of energy it can contain within a period of time.
If it is not replenished, the energy will be depleted.
Even if the immortal energy can nourish the energy and blood, it cannot compare to the domineering power of the wish stone.
So we still have to find ways to replenish more energy and blood.
Zhao Hongming restrained the restlessness in his heart.
The remaining wish stone was kept and not refined.
The sun is tilting to the west.
Chang Wubing, who was sent out by Zhao Hongming to buy supplements, came back to life.
He did it very secretly. He was empty-handed and did not bring any packages or luggage to make him suspicious.
Chang Wubing stood outside the door and said, "Your Highness, Wubing is lucky enough to live up to his mission."
"come in."
"yes."
Chang Wubing entered the house, walked up to Zhao Hongming, then bowed and took off the handle of the long knife, and poured out more than ten pills and three medicinal herbs.
"This is a small Huandan that my subordinates bought outside. It is a good medicine for replenishing energy. There are also three sacred trees of Ganoderma lucidum, which are spiritual herbs for replenishing energy. The effect is equally good."
Chang Wuyi offered elixirs and spiritual herbs with both hands.
The aroma of medicine comes to your nose, refreshing your heart and mind.
Zhao Hongming looked down and saw that there were not many clues to the elixir inside, but the sacred tree Ganoderma lucidum grass was somewhat magical.
Extending upward along the leaf stems, each Zhicao tree will grow three small leaves, which are as green as if they were carved from jade.
Even after being picked, it is still very fresh and has no signs of wilting.
Zhao Hongming accepted the elixirs and herbs, nodded and said: "Guard Hardworking, did you not attract any other attention?"
"I am very careful when I am outside. I go to different stores to buy medicine. This is the bill for buying medicine this time. Your Highness, please take a look."
Chang Wubing took out a piece of paper from his arms, which listed the prices and corresponding effects of different elixirs and spiritual herbs.
In addition, there is also the address and store name of the specific pharmacy, which is very detailed.
He glanced briefly and found that the price of these elixirs and spiritual herbs was really not cheap.
After buying these things for three hundred taels of silver, there was basically not much left.
Zhao Hongming was not worried that Chang Wubing was greedy for his money in this matter.
He could get a rough idea of the price by simply consulting with other people.
If he discovers something fishy, Chang Wubing will lose his trust.
As a guard with no foundation, if he loses his trust, his career in the palace will come to an end.
Maybe their lives are in danger.
Zhao Hongming believed that Chang Wubing would not be so stupid.
He confessed: "You should keep this matter to yourself, Guard Chang, and don't make it public."
"This subordinate must keep his mouth shut."
"This time, Guard Chang has worked hard and should be rewarded. I remember that Guard Chang is also a martial artist. Xiaohuan Dan and Shenmu Ganoderma Grass are also of great use to Guard Chang."
"I don't have any other good things around me." Zhao Hongming picked up a pill and a medicinal herb and said, "I'll give this small pill and the sacred tree Ganoderma lucidum to Guard Chang."
Chang Wubing was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came to his senses and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
He picked up the Xiao Huan Dan and Shenmu Ganoderma Grass, with an excited expression on his face, and swallowed the Xiao Huan Dan directly in front of Zhao Hongming.
Then he picked up the sacred tree Ganoderma lucidum grass and started chewing it, which made his mouth feel fragrant.
After swallowing the pills and spiritual herbs one after another, his face turned red, and his whole body was like a ball of fire, radiant.
While silently stimulating the continuous refining of the technique, he said respectfully: "This medicine has great medicinal properties. Only those who are humble and have a certain level of cultivation dare to do this. Your Highness does not need to imitate humble people. If you take this kind of medicine, you still have to take it step by step. , too much is not enough.”
"Yes, I have taken note of it."
"If there is nothing else to do, I will resign first."
Zhao Hongming had no expression on his face and said nothing more, watching Chang Wubing leave the main hall.
Wang Bao, who was guarding outside the door, saw Chang Wu Bing's face turned red and was surprised: "Guard Chang, why are you so red?"
"Refreshed."
Chang Wubing's figure flashed and quickly disappeared from Qingfeng Pavilion.
He hurriedly found a deserted corner and used his energy to digest the powerful medicine he had just swallowed.
The reward mentioned by His Highness the Fifth Prince just now is fake, but the test medicine is real.
So after he understood Zhao Hongming's intention behind it, he took it in front of Zhao Hongming without any hesitation.
As a personal bodyguard, if you don't have this bit of vision and responsibility, then you probably won't be able to wear this brocade uniform for long.
In fact, Chang Wubing didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, but was actually a little pleased.
He is not afraid of a master who has a strong government, because having enough city often means that he has the ability to protect himself, has his own opinions, and will not be led by others.
Following such a master, they can live longer with less worry as personal bodyguards.
Maybe in the future we will have the opportunity to follow the rising tide and take a walk upwards.
I'm afraid that if I follow a 'frank and sincere' but incompetent master, I will be led into a pit if I'm not careful, and I will follow behind to wipe my butt from time to time.
If you don’t say it, you may have to take the blame and pay for your life.
The Xiaohuandan and Shenmu Ganoderma grass he bought are among the best among all tonics, and the prices are also very expensive.
Therefore, it contains full medicinal properties.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chang Wubing exhaled, and after refining all the last medicinal properties in his body, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "In the past few months, His Highness the Fifth Prince has finally grown up."
Suddenly, he felt that there was still some hope in the future, and he would not continue to be so mediocre.
The setting sun outside the window has sunk below the horizon.
Eunuch Wang Bao and several young eunuchs lit candles for Zhao Hongming.
The weak candlelight swayed in the darkness, dispelling all the darkness in the room.
After the eunuchs retreated, Zhao Hongming sat on the sandalwood chair, put his hands on the table, and tapped his fingers on the table in turn, making a regular tapping sound.
Just now he asked Chang Wuyi to try the medicine in the name of reward.
He didn't expect Chang Wubing to be so decisive, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Zhao Hongming felt that although it was unbenevolent and righteous to do so, he should not have the intention to harm others and the intention to guard against others.
Even if Chang Wubing has been following him, he can't be careless because of this.
People always change.
Now it seems that there should be no problem if Chang Wubing buys this medicine.
Zhao Hongming picked up a small Huan Dan, looked at it a few times, and the corresponding introduction to the elixir came to his mind.
Xiao Huan Dan can restore qi and blood, cure diseases and prolong life. It is a treasure of tonic medicine, seventeen taels per piece.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Hongming put the elixir into his mouth.
