After walking out of the forest path, Yiran subconsciously resumed his normal walking style. I just violated the taboo of not showing off my wealth today. I can't violate the taboo of keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile again.
If you can violate any taboo, then why should you practice? If you encounter a disaster, you will die if you go to the battlefield. It is better to just breathe in and out and live a long life without cultivating.
Walking into the dining hall, there were already many people inside. However, most of them are freshmen accompanied by their elders. Many of them are just ordinary people, and the meals they choose rarely even contain meat or oil. But the more this happens, the more difficult it is for martial arts cultivators who need to work hard. On the other hand, although the older children were alone, their food was all kinds of delicious.
Goode left a lot of money in the space ring. If he didn't buy precious treasures of heaven, materials and earth, the money might not be used up until the end of his studies in five years. Therefore, Yiran was not stingy with food and chose three or four delicious dishes to enjoy. After a delicious meal, Yiran quickly left the dining hall, leaving many envious looks.
Returning to the forest path, I saw that there were still no pedestrians on the road. Yiran continued to move forward quickly on the Seven Stars, and this time he used a little bit of Qi. The wind was already blowing under my feet, and at this moment, the wind was even making "whooshing" sounds. The speed was actually more than ten times faster than without the use of infuriating energy. It took only dozens of breaths to walk out of the path, and not a single leaf was touched on his body.
After returning to the dormitory, Yiran began to study the physical training method, because the offensive method was really difficult to perform in the small dormitory. If this kind of attack spell is used, the dormitory will definitely be completely destroyed.
So Yi Ran searched in his mind for the records of body-building methods in Tao Zang, and he was dazzled in just a moment, including "Battle Heaven Demon Body", "Burning Saint Demon Body", "Xuan Jia Gong", "Tian Xin Xuan Ti", "Immortal Immortal" "Body" and dozens of other names that I once felt were extremely popular, but I hesitated on how to choose.
Although the names are different, the realm of the body is roughly the same. Most of them are the first level of mortal body, the second level of leak-free body, the third level of diamond body, the fourth level of pure yang body, and the fifth level is the immortal body. Just like the nameless mind, there are also only five levels. Regardless of how high the physical intensity corresponding to these realms is, practicing is definitely better than not practicing!
The Zhan Tian Demon Body uses demonic energy to temper the body to make it stronger. Since it is about cultivation rather than demon cultivation, this body training method is naturally not suitable.
The Burning Saint Demonic Body not only needs demonic energy to temper the body, but also needs to be forged with strange flames. The body forged by this is as strong as fine gold and is indestructible, but Yiran is also unable to cultivate.
Then we looked at Xuanjia Gong. As the name suggests, Xuanjia Gong can cultivate a layer of soft armor on the body surface. This kind of soft armor is extremely flexible but indestructible, which is a good choice.
Tianxin Mystic Body is a more orthodox body-building method, which uses true energy to slowly forge the body, making the body gradually become stronger.
Yiran, who was dazzled and unable to make a decision, finally chose Tianxin Xuanti. After all, Yiran, who has no teacher and no one to guide him, relies solely on his own cultivation. Orthodoxy represents the foundation and the least detours.
Even if the physical body is not as powerful in the end, it is the most balanced.
After making the decision, Yiran used the magic formula to induce the true energy to slowly penetrate into the physical body from the meridians. The true energy was washed in the physical body, and a feeling of itching spread throughout the body.
The true energy is continuously washed and purified in the flesh and blood, and at the same time, a trace of the true energy remains in the flesh and blood, constantly being tempered.
As he vomited, the slight itch became stinging and sometimes nothing felt. While insisting on running the entire method, two hours had passed. Standing up slowly, a different feeling suddenly appeared. Yiran could clearly feel that his body had become awake and his strength had grown significantly.
While meditating and exhaling, you can also practice physical exercise, which is a double benefit. The Tianxin Mystic Body Technique also records many heavenly materials and earthly treasures and panaceas that can quickly improve the effect of body training.
In the past, it was these heavenly materials and earthly treasures that made Yiran shy away from the body-building method when he tried to practice various magic arts.
It starts with medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old, and they often come from the bones and blood of spiritual animals. Although he didn’t know the price of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, what Goode left for Yiran in the space ring were several century-old ginseng, century-old Ganoderma lucidum and ten-leaf green grass, as well as bones, blood and magic cores that exuded powerful elemental auras. .
Although the aura it exudes is similar to that of a green-eyed poisonous python, it is a first-level monster. Yiran is no stranger to these things. He has already learned a lot of medicine refining techniques while helping Yudie make medicine in the mountains. These things have a huge impact on Yiran today, and they are enough to practice for a long time. This is a huge resource that would make even a samurai jealous!
After classifying the treasures of heaven and earth according to the pharmacology he learned, Yiran flipped through the alchemy part in his mind.
Alchemy was a very popular secret technique even in the era of the end of the past life, especially among the top circles in ancient times.
There are records in history that many emperors were obsessed with alchemy in order to seek immortality. He even went to sea to visit immortals, but in the end most of them killed themselves while refining elixirs, and failed to develop a single elixir that could lead to immortality. It’s a strange thing to live a long time if you swallow a pill containing mercury! However, alchemy still left an indelible mark on the development of chemistry.
It cannot be denied that alchemy does have its value. Although it cannot live forever, it is still of great use in healing and health care. Moreover, the records of alchemy in Yiran's mind are real alchemy, which has transcended the scope of chemistry and surpassed the alchemy technique that Goode has studied all his life.
Low-level alchemy skills only require grinding the materials, adding them to the medicine furnace in proportion, and boiling them. After boiling to a certain level, they can be kneaded into pills or condensed into liquid medicine. This is the most basic alchemy skill. When the art of alchemy reaches a high level, you need to invest your own energy and spirit, and use your own perception to control the combination and refinement of various medicinal materials.
Regardless of the depth of alchemy, the first step is to use the true energy to control the flame to refine the medicinal materials, so the medicinal cauldron is indispensable. The refined medicinal materials are fused through a certain medium and under the control of true energy, which requires the control of flames and the condensation of elixirs, which requires great cultivation and control.
Therefore, the art of alchemy is much more difficult than the art of alchemy in this world, not to mention that the alchemy technique is the most precious thing.
Check out the lowest-level elixirs, the first-level Qi Refining Pill and the first-level Body Training Dan, and compare them pharmacologically with the elementary alchemy techniques. In alchemy, magicians can use magic pills, while warriors can use strengthening liquid. From a pharmacological perspective, alchemy and alchemy have the same medicinal effects and the same medicinal materials are naturally the same, not to mention that many of the medicinal materials used in alchemy do not belong to this world.
Substituting alchemy materials for alchemy, the only thing missing is a fusion medium, and the medium for this primary elixir is just water. It’s just water!
After studying for a long time, Yiran had no idea of taking action because he was missing the most important thing, the Danding!
Looking at the sky outside, there was already a ray of afterglow in the sky. The red sun had long been obscured by black clouds, and it felt like it was already past midnight.
There was no curfew in the city, so Yi Ran slowly walked out of the academy as the cafeteria in the academy was closed. After entering college, I have already adapted to life alone.
We found a small inn and cooked two side dishes and ordered a bowl of rice. Although we were just a single child, no one dared to disturb and provoke us. In the capital, children who are alone are the hardest to mess with, because there is a high probability that they are either warriors or magicians.
After a simple meal, Yiran wandered around the city. The entire Wind and Fire City has not yet recovered from the excitement of the talent test, and the entire street is brightly lit and crowded with people.
The test bench in the central square has been closed, and it is surrounded by various stalls. These vendors are also the characteristics of each place, that is, the traditional night market.
Now that she is here, Yiran will naturally not miss it. When her family was not rich, she would buy many things at second-hand markets or similar night markets. This is how Daozang got them. Generally, the price for setting up a street stall like this will be very high, but the repayment can be very low, depending on what you can afford. The prices in the store are not low, but the quality can be guaranteed, so you can’t bargain too hard.
Looking at the central square covering several acres, it was now filled with various stalls, which made Yiran extremely happy, as if he had regained his old life. Slowly looking at the stalls one by one, there are all kinds of gadgets. Children's toys, trinkets carved from the bones of exotic animals, and even some brightly colored stones.
There are also those who sell ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and the introduction is the paintings and calligraphy of a certain great magician, or the manuscripts of the art of war by a certain senior military commander, and there are also those who write letters on behalf of relatives in distant places. As for books, they are Yi Ran's favorite. The books here are all engraved poems and paintings. There are almost no cultivation classics or books worth collecting.
There are also some game booths, such as answering cards, pot throwing, archery, juggling, etc.
Of course, there are also many mercenaries who came from various places. They have just finished their adventure in the World of Warcraft Forest or just completed their missions. They have harvested a lot of things that need to be sold or exchanged. They were not interested in the talent test, but this meeting was a must. Because this kind of activity takes place only a few times a year within the entire principality, a large number of monks gather every time. Many monks from many families are stationed at the border or performing tasks all year round. Only when there are children in the clan participating in the test, can they still Will come back to congratulate you.
They will definitely bring a lot of treasures when they come back. Even if they don't have treasures, they can sell their earnings to them in exchange for money to buy what they need. All the difficult years are for the purpose of improving strength and holding up a sky for mankind.
It's just that the prices of the items here are not low. In this area, I saw many children of my own age looking at the stalls. There are also children who are even in the team setting up stalls here. Just like adults, they go out on adventures and gain something. When they come back, they convert all the gains into the resources they need, and finally turn them into their own strength.
But now Yiran doesn't care about these. Although the treasures of heaven and earth left by Gude are not very high-level, there are quite a lot of low-level ones. Most of these materials on site are available in the space ring, so Yiran feels the most. What I am interested in are those books.
Walking past a dozen book stalls, each stall owner greeted Yiran warmly. The children who don’t know their origins are the most ignorant here, which means making good friends with these children is the biggest investment.
"Hello boss, how do you sell these books here?" Yiran picked up a hardcover ancient book and asked casually while flipping through it.
"Little brother, the books I have here are all hardcover. Look at the paper and the illustrations. If you really want it, how about ten copper coins like this?"
"Boss, I've been shopping around. There are all these books in the stalls here. Your price is a bit high. I want to buy a few more books. Please tell me the price sincerely."
"Small business, small business. Little brother, the cost of these books is ten copper coins. If not, I still have to support my family. Well, let me give you the lowest price of twelve copper coins."
Yi Ran slowly put down the book, her eyes filled with sincerity.
"Then I'd better go to the next stall and have a look."
The stall owner's urgent voice came from behind, "Don't leave, little brother, we can negotiate the price again."
But Yiran didn't look back and walked directly to the next stall. This kind of hard-to-get bargaining technique was perfected in the second-hand market. In Yiran's opinion, no matter where he goes, it is inevitable to open the door to do business and bargain. The quoted price of fifteen copper coins should be only about five copper coins in Yiran's opinion. The stall owner said that the cost was only ten copper coins. If I believed this, it would not be worthy of my experience in the second-hand market.
When I came to the second stall, the books here were not much different from the previous stall. The stall was occupied by an old man of half a hundred years with white hair. The old man himself was holding a simple book in his hand and reading it. Seeing the guests coming, the old man quickly stood up, slowly put down the book in his hand, and looked at Yiran.
"Little brother, feel free to read the books I have here. If you are satisfied, we will talk about it. You can read slowly."
Looking at the old man's slightly hunched back, his face is full of wrinkles, and it's hard to find a single green hair in his pale hair. But the energy in his eyes is still enough, and his face is full of red.
After replying "Okay", Yiran slowly started to look through the books.
Many of the books are poems and paintings, recording where a certain great magician or great martial artist killed a powerful monster. There are also some great monks who were buried in the belly of the monster in what year and where. Although the books were highly exaggerated, Yiran, who already had a fairly good understanding of the distribution of the continent, was able to confirm that these places were real, so he kept them in his mind.
He was already able to achieve photographic memory before he entered the Qi refining stage, not to mention that his cultivation level has greatly increased now. After flipping through it for a while, I memorized the names of each place, because some kind of magical beast may appear in this area, but it is impossible to read the entire book in one time.
In addition, Yi Ran also read some poetry scripts. Although they are not as essence as Tang poetry and Song poetry, they are still interesting to read.
I hurriedly browsed through a dozen books, and all of them were quite informative and useful, so I asked about the price. As expected, as Yiran thought, the cost of books was not that high at all. The old man's price was only ten copper coins. After Yiran decided to buy more than ten books, he made some counter-offers and finally settled the deal with eight copper coins. Yiran, who had bought fifteen books, only paid one silver coin and twenty copper coins. .
For the first time, Yiran lived a life where he didn't have to worry about money and could "squander" money at will. He was very happy looking at the books piled half as high as a person in his hands. Then he went to a nearby grocery stall and bought a wooden book box for ten copper coins. He picked up the books and walked towards the college. In fact, the moment the books were put into the book box, all the books entered the space ring.
Returning to his dormitory, Yiran continued to sit cross-legged and meditate. According to Daozang's records, his cultivation is already at its peak in the early stages of Qi refining, and he should be able to break through in the near future.
After a night of meditating, it was already dawn before I knew it. Now that I meditate instead of sleeping, I feel more energetic.
A new day has begun, and the study life at the First Martial Arts Academy has officially begun!
