Chen Jianghe pushed open the fence gate and stepped into the courtyard.
He stopped in the courtyard, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and remained silent for a long time.
What happened tonight was like a nightmare.
He reached into his arms and took out the small porcelain bottle found from Mo Wen.
Then, he turned around and pushed open the door of the quiet room.
Chen Jianghe sat cross-legged on the couch, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a moment. When his mind completely calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes.
He reached into his arms and took out the small porcelain bottle found from Mo Wen.
Blood Essence Pill.
Chen Jianghe stared at these three elixirs, his eyes slightly condensed.
The record in "The Record of Good and Evil a Hundred Years Ago" comes to mind. "Blood Essence Pill is made from the essence and blood of alien beasts and refined with the secret method of the Demonic Sect. Taking it can greatly improve your cultivation." Because, the drug has violent properties, and you have to endure the pain of backlash of Qi and blood. Moreover, the elixir contains the residual ferocious nature of alien beasts, which can easily corrode the mind, causing the user to lose their mind and become a bloodthirsty maniac. People in the right way regard it as a forbidden drug and dare not use it lightly. "
He remembered that when he was reading this book, he just regarded it as a historical anecdote and glanced at it hastily.
But he never thought that one day, these three pills would actually be held in his hands.
Chen Jianghe stared at the three Blood Essence Pill in silence for a long time.
In the body, <Vajra Skill> has reached the state of "Silver Viscera".
And the wood attribute Gang Qi built on the third layer of <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> Mysterious Insight" is mainly vitality, recovery and durability.
That light blue power, like the roots of an old tree, is firmly rooted in the depths of the Dantian, warming and nourishing the meridians throughout the body day and night.
In terms of suppressing the backlash, soothing the violent medicinal properties, and protecting the mind, these two techniques are a perfect match.
But even so, the risk of swallowing Blood Essence Pill is still extremely high.
But tonight, if Liu Shuling hadn't arrived in time, he would have died.
Mo Wen's playful eyes when chasing him, Zhao Li's indifference when he killed Zhu Jingyi and then casually threw his head away, and the two Demonic Sect guardians' posture as if they were overlooking all living beings -
These images were engraved in his mind like imprints that could not be removed.
Grandmastery of Gang Force.
The real Grandmastery of Gang Force.
In front of those powerful men, he tried his best, but could only manage a few moves.
If the senior sister hadn't fought tooth and nail to save him, if it hadn't been for that last shot to seize the fleeting opportunity, he would have been a cold corpse at this moment.
Demonic Sect has already set his sights on him.
This time, he was lucky enough to survive.
What about next time?
How many Grandmastery of Gang Force will be chasing him next time? What level of strong men will they be?
If there is such a desperate situation again, can senior sister arrive in time?
Even if senior sister can come, how many times can she save herself?
Chen Jianghe Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Chen Jianghe opened the bottle cork, took out a Blood Essence Pill, stared at it for a moment, showed a fierce smile, and then put it into his mouth.
The elixir melts as soon as it enters the throat, turning into a violent and overbearing stream of heat that pours into the stomach and explodes.
Thousands of blood-colored trickles spread wildly along the meridians like poisonous snakes. The tearing pain wherever it passed made Chen Jianghe groan, veins popped out, and his fists were clenched so tightly that blood oozed from the palms of his hands.
This quick-fix drug that Demonic Sect is pursuing is simply out of control.
It is not based on warmth and nourishment, but on plundering, actively tearing and eroding every inch of the meridians and acupuncture points, and forcefully pouring power into it.
Chen Jianghe gritted his teeth and endured, his mind sinking into his Dantian.
The cyan Gang Qi in the Dantian boils instantly, and <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> runs on its own.
Cyan Gang Qi gushes out like spring water. Wherever it passes, the violent blood-colored medicine is suppressed and gradually becomes docile.
Wood represents vitality, and its gentle power is like a mother comforting a child, making the severe pain gradually lessen.
But this is just the beginning. The soothed blood-colored medicinal power gathers outside the Dantian, forming a strange vortex that rotates at high speed. Each rotation releases huge power into the Dantian.
The Gang Qi in Chen Jianghe's body began to surge at a speed visible to the naked eye, 10%, 20%, 30% - surging like a tide, almost bursting the Dantian.
His face turned red, and the aura around his body fluctuated violently, but he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to suppress it.
<Vajra Skill>Silver Viscera" The strong internal organs brought about by the "realm" played a key role at this moment, otherwise the impact of Qi and blood alone would be enough to cut off his meridians.
Time passes in agony.
I don't know how long it took, but the bloody whirlpool finally dissipated, turning into the purest power and integrating it into the dantian.
Chen Jianghe was shocked, and his breath suddenly rose!
[Fate: Heaven Rewards Diligence, you will succeed]
[Current skill: Withered Wood Meets Spring Art(Mysterious Insight 67%)
[Current skill: Nine Heavens Flame Prison Art(Return to Origin 83%)]
[Current skill: Mystic Sea Return to Origin Art(Return to Origin 81%)]
Chen Jianghe opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
In the palm of my hand, the light cyan Gang Qi was much more solid than before, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder as it circulated.
The meridians in the body are nearly 30% wider than before. Qi and blood are rushing like a river. Every time you take a breath, you can feel the surging power.
One Blood Essence Pill is worth half a year of his hard work.
Chen Jianghe took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, looked at the two pills left in the bottle, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He did not continue taking it.
After all, haste makes waste.
The reason why I can suppress Blood Essence Pill's backlash tonight is because <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> is full of vitality and <Vajra Skill>'s internal organs are strong.
But if you are greedy for too much and take it one after another, once the potency is superimposed, the backlash will exceed the limit of suppression----
Chen Jianghe put the porcelain bottle into his arms, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.
The next day, Chen Jianghe was practicing shooting in the courtyard when a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
He put away his gun and stood up, looking towards the fence gate.
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the fence door.
"Soaring Wood Court disciples Chen Jianghe, Sect Master Hall are here, please accept the reward!"
Chen Jianghe was slightly startled, then pushed the door open and walked out.
Outside the courtyard gate, there were three people standing.
The person leading the charge was none other than Elder Meng who was on duty at the Sect Master Hall last night.
Behind him stood two disciples in Tsing Yi, each holding a tray covered with red silk;
The other person is holding a silk scroll with a gold edge. It is the official award document of the sect.
When Elder Meng saw Chen Jianghe coming out, he nodded slightly and glanced at him, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.
But after not seeing each other for a whole night, the aura around this kid has become a little more solid.
But he didn't ask any more questions, he just cleared his throat and said loudly, "Soaring Wood Court, disciple Chen Jianghe, accept the sect's reward!"
Chen Jianghe clasped his fists and saluted. "Disciple is here."
Elder Meng took the silk book handed by the disciple behind him, unfolded it, and read, "Last night the remnants of the Demonic Sect sneaked into the Green Rock Mountain Range with the intention of planting Blood Sacrifice Array and extracting the essence and blood of Hunting Grounds alien beasts. The leader Cen Qianfan personally led Golden Pivot Court, Shen Hao, Cangming Court, Liu Tinglan, and Thick Earth Court, Shi Zhenyue, intercepted and killed the remaining Demonic Sect at the bottom of Soul-Severing Cliff. After a night of fierce fighting, Demonic Sect Left Protector Quan You and the right protector Fu Yi were seriously injured and escaped, and the thirty-seven followers accompanying them were all killed. Blood Sacrifice Array has been destroyed, and the Green Rock Mountain Range crisis has been resolved."
He paused, his eyes fell on Chen Jianghe, and continued to read, "Soaring Wood Court's disciple Chen Jianghe, stayed calm when Demonic Sect was chasing him, used Initiation of Gang Force's cultivation to cooperate with Liu Shuling, and killed Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force Mo Wen and Zhao Li rescued the body of Cangming Court disciple Zhu Jingyi. They had outstanding military achievements and were awarded 99
"Gang Origin Pill ten bottles!"
"Granted Martial Pavilion to enlarge and print one skill for free!"
"An additional five thousand taels of gold will be given to show his merit!"
After Elder Meng finished reading, he closed the silk book and looked at Chen Jianghe: "Chen Jianghe, accept the reward."
Chen Jianghe took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his fists. "Disciple Chen Jianghe, I would like to thank the master and all the elders for this generous gift!"
Elder Meng looked at him, stroked his beard and said, "Chen Jianghe, I have seen countless disciples receive rewards in the Xingyi Sect for more than forty years. You are the first one to receive such a heavy reward as Initiation of Gang Force."
He paused, with a hint of meaning in his eyes. "Practice well and don't let down the master's high expectations."
Chen Jianghe cupped his fists. "Disciples should remember the elders' teachings."
Elder Meng nodded, turned around and left with his two disciples.
After the three figures disappeared at the end of the bamboo forest, Chen Jianghe took the tray and turned back to the courtyard.
He placed the tray on the stone table in the courtyard, glanced at the ten bottles of Gang Origin Pill, and then looked at the gold-edged silk book in his hand.
Free enlargement of one exercise method.
This is a real reward.
Xingyi Sect Martial Pavilion Three levels, hundreds of various exercises.
To enlarge the printing of a skill, it can range from a few thousand taels to tens of thousands taels.
Free printing saves you a lot of money.
Chen Jianghe put the silk book in his arms and was about to turn around and go back to the house when suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard door.
He frowned slightly and looked up.
Outside the fence gate, more than ten people had gathered at some point. They were all disciples of Soaring Wood Court, both male and female. They were currently looking out into the courtyard, their eyes full of envy and awe.
Seeing Chen Jianghe looking at him, everyone clasped their fists in salute and started congratulating each other.
"Senior Brother Chen! I heard that you killed two Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force last night? That's amazing!"
"Grandmastery of Gang Force! Senior Brother Chen You are just Initiation of Gang Force, and you can kill Dacheng. If this spreads out, the whole Changxi Prefecture will be shocked!
"That's not true! Those Golden Pivot Court people brag about how powerful they are every day, but among them Initiation of Gang Force, which one can kill Dacheng?"
"Senior Brother Chen, with your record, I'm afraid you will be as good as Heavenly Pride and Earthly Hero Rankings!"
Chen Jianghe listened quietly, his expression unchanged, but he nodded slightly. "Junior brothers and sisters, you are serious. Chen is just a fluke, and he should not be praised like this."
"A fluke?" A round-faced disciple said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, you are too humble! Then Mo Wen and Zhao Li were Demonic Sect Grandmastery of Gang Force. They died in the hands of you and Senior Sister Liu. This is a real military achievement! It has spread throughout the sect!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Chen Don't be so modest!"
Chen Jianghe was about to speak when a burly figure suddenly separated from the crowd and strode into the hospital.
Liu Shuling.
She was dressed in dark black clothing, her arms were still exposed, her complexion was much better than last night, and her injuries were obviously no longer serious.
She glanced at the group of Soaring Wood Court disciples and grinned. "Why, what are you doing here? Do you want to take advantage of your Senior Brother Chen rewards?"
Everyone hurriedly saluted and let him retreat with a smile.
Liu Shuling waved his hand. "Okay, okay, let's all disperse. Go and do whatever you need to do, don't hang around here."
Everyone dispersed knowingly, and only Chen Jianghe and Liu Shuling were left in the courtyard.
Liu Shuling walked to the stone table, glanced at the ten bottles of Gang Origin Pill, and then looked at the gold-edged silk book in Chen Jianghe's hand, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Ten bottles of Gang Origin Pill, free expansion of a skill, five thousand taels of gold." She counted the numbers on her fingers and said with a smile, "The leader is really generous this time."
Chen Jianghe clasped his fists. "Senior sister's life-saving grace last night, I will remember it in my heart. If there is any need for these rewards, senior sister."
"Stop it." Liu Shuling raised his hand to interrupt him, "This is your military exploits. What does it have to do with me? The master has already rewarded me for my share."
Liu Shuling suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer. "By the way, I heard that the leader and the others killed them very hard last night. Not one of the thirty-seven Demonic Sect believers escaped. Of the two guardians Quan You and Fu Yi, one was shot through the left shoulder by Shen Court Master, and the other had his right arm shattered by Master Shi's palm. They fought for their lives before escaping."
She paused, and a coldness flashed in her eyes. "If they escape with serious injuries, they will not be able to make it out of trouble in a short time."
Chen Jianghe listened quietly and suddenly asked, "Senior sister, what is Blood Sacrifice Array----?"
Liu Shuling shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. I just heard Elder Meng mention that the essence and blood of the alien beasts were extracted to refine the Blood Essence Pill formation. If they were really allowed to set it up, most of the Green Rock Mountain Range alien beasts within a hundred miles radius would be killed or injured."
Chen Jianghe pupils shrink.
It's Blood Essence Pill again.
It turns out that Demonic Sect infiltrated this time for this purpose.
He was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Demonic Sect has targeted Xingyi Sect, I'm afraid there won't be peace in the future."
Liu Shuling nodded and patted his shoulder. "So, practice hard. Initiation of Gang Force can kill Dacheng, which is indeed powerful, but it is not enough. If it was Quan You or Fu Yi who came last night, it would be in vain for you and me to join forces."
She turned around and walked towards the courtyard door, and her voice came from far away. "I'm going back to recover from my injuries. You should refine those rewards and strive to achieve a small success as soon as possible."
Chen Jianghe watched the burly back disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, withdrew his gaze and landed on the ten bottles of Gang Origin Pill on the stone table.
He did not enter the house immediately.
Instead, he took out the gold-edged silk book from his arms, unfolded it, and his eyes fell on the small words "Granted Martial Pavilion free enlargement of one exercise".
Free enlargement of a skill.
What to choose?
He pondered for a moment, put the silk book in his arms, turned around and entered the house, took out a stack of banknotes, and pushed the door open.
In the afternoon, Chen Jianghe was alone and stepped into the Martial Pavilion.
Chen Jianghe handed over the scroll. The elder on duty checked that it was correct, handed it back, and said calmly, "Go in. Remember, you can only enlarge the first three layers of a skill. After you have selected it, come to me to register."
Chen Jianghe nodded and stepped into the Martial Pavilion.
The first floor still contained those entry-level exercises. He went straight to the second floor without stopping.
The light on the second floor is darker than that on the first floor. Rows of bookshelves are arranged neatly, and each book is sealed in a crystal box.
Chen Jianghe did not stop in front of those familiar exercises, but went straight to the depths where the internal training methods of each academy were displayed.
He stopped in the Golden Pivot Court area and scanned the rows of crystal boxes.
<Heaven Pivot Breaking Formation Spear> He already has it. It is the true understanding of marksmanship given by Shen Hao, which is different from the internal training method.
What he is looking for is Golden Pivot Court's internal training method - a method that uses metal Gang Qi to temper the meridians and temper Spear Intent.
<Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art>.
Chen Jianghe stopped in front of a row of crystal boxes, and his eyes fell on the crystal box with the words "Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art" engraved on it.
He reached out, took off the crystal box, and opened it.
On the title page, there is a line of small words. "Heaven Pivot Golden Gang, with the sharpness of metal, tempers the tenacity of meridians. After cultivation to great perfection, Gang Qi is so sharp that it can break metal and crack stones."
Chen Jianghe has read it word for word and already has concerns in mind.
He closed the crystal box and did not decide immediately, but continued walking inside.
Thick Earth Court area.
<Ten Thousand Mountains Suppressing Earth Art>.
He took off the crystal box and opened it. "Wanyue Zhenkun uses the thickness of the soil to solidify the stability of the foundation. When it is completed, Gang Qi is as solid as a mountain, and its defense is unparalleled."
Chen Jianghe compared the two exercises repeatedly in his mind.
Metallic, sharp, mainly killing.
Earth attribute, thick, mainly defensive.
If you can gather all the five elements----
This thought flashed through his mind, and he did not hesitate for long.
Chen Jianghe took two crystal boxes, walked to the row of bookshelves deep on the second floor, and took down another one - that was Soaring Wood Court<Withered Wood Meets Spring Art>
The middle and third layers are in his hand, but he only has the first three layers in his hand.
Then, he walked to the counter.
The elder on duty saw him coming with three crystal boxes, and frowned slightly. "Chen Jianghe, didn't I say that you can only expand one branch for free? You are a disciple of Soaring Wood Court. <Withered Wood Meets Spring Art> When you get to Initiation of Gang Force, you can indeed expand to the middle and third floors for free. What about the internal training methods of the other two houses?"
Chen Jianghe nodded, placed the crystal boxes of <Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art> and <Ten Thousand Mountains Suppressing Earth Art> on the counter, and took out fifty thousand taels of silver notes from his arms.
"Elder, I use my free qualifications to expand the first three layers of <Heaven Pivot Golden Gang Art>. In addition, I am willing to expand the first three layers of <Ten Thousand Mountains Suppressing Earth Art> at my own expense."
The elder nodded, took the banknote, took out two blank jade slips, and began to rub the skills for Chen Jianghe.
After about a stick of incense, the rubbings on the two jade slips were completed and handed over to Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe took it, put it into his arms solemnly, held his fists in his hands and thanked him.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the elder suddenly spoke, "Chen Jianghe, I have to ask, if you choose these two skills, do you want to practice multiple Gang Qi at the same time?"
Chen Jianghe paused slightly and looked back at him.
The elder stroked his beard and said, "I have worked in the Martial Pavilion for more than thirty years and have met many disciples. You are not the first one who wants to practice multiple internal training methods at the same time. But I have never seen anyone who can succeed."
He paused, with a hint of admonishment in his eyes. "Gang Qi, this thing is different from strength. Strength is just the release of the power of qi and blood. If you practice more, you will bite off more than you can chew. But Gang Qi, that is the same thing as strength. The power of the fusion of mind and heart. Two Gang Qis coexist in the body, just like water and fire in the same furnace. If you are not careful, it will backfire. You are young, don't covet those fancy things, and cultivate one of them to the extreme in a down-to-earth manner, that is the right way."
Chen Jianghe was silent for a moment and slowly clasped his fists. "Thank you, elder, for your advice. I just want to see the methods practiced in each academy so that I can draw parallels and break through as soon as possible Minor Mastery of Gang Force. But I just want to take a look."
The elder looked at him, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
After a long while, he sighed and waved his hand, "That's all, since you are sensible, I won't talk too much. Go ahead."
Chen Jianghe nodded, turned and left.
