In the shed courtyard.
Gu Sheng is practicing.
At this time, his body was twisting at a strange rate, coupled with his cold eyes and the faint sound of snakes chirping, if someone were passing by outside, they would even think that a big snake had entered Gu Sheng's house!
Since Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art reached the state of perfection, Gu Sheng discovered that Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art and Snake Breathing Technique can unite to practice together, which will promote each other and save more time.
Snake Breathing Technique, simulates the breathing of a snake.
At the Xiaocheng state, one can completely restrain the aura, which is difficult to detect at the same state.
But now Gu Sheng is far beyond the realm of Xiaocheng.
I saw him moving around, occasionally twisting like a big snake, but there was no ripple at all. It was obviously an extremely powerful punch, but the strength was looming.
He was bright-eyed and completely engaged.
Imagine that you are a venomous snake swimming in the jungle, silently, suddenly rising up, showing its fangs!
Unknowingly.
Gu Sheng's breathing has completely disappeared. Jade Skin stage warriors can breathe through the pores of the skin, but now, Gu Sheng's breathing with the pores of the skin is no longer possible, and it is internal breathing.
Only occasionally would there be insignificant movements, which would not be noticed by the warrior at all. Jade Skin stage's induction was not that powerful.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The moon is at the zenith.
The bright moonlight shines through the shed courtyard on Gu Sheng's body, which is slightly mottled. The naked upper body is extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, and the sweat has perfectly outlined the streamlined body.
After being promoted to Jade Skin stage, Gu Sheng's skin became paler, and he completely lost the temperament of a farm boy like before.
If he puts aside his usual pretense, everyone who sees him will praise him for his handsome young man.
However, the state of Gu Sheng is a bit strange at this time.
He no longer practices Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art, but instead practices Iron Stone Fist, but what makes people's hair stand on end is that Gu Sheng's body is obviously constantly rushing and turning, and the visual perception should be as fierce and fierce as a tiger descending a mountain, with constant strong winds.
But the strange thing is that there is very little movement.
If you don't listen carefully, you can't even hear the occasional strong wind.
The incoordination between vision and hearing can easily make people feel ridiculous. If ordinary people see it, they may even think they have encountered a ghost!
This is Gu Sheng combining the practices of Snake Breathing Technique and Iron Stone Fist.
at this time.
His condition is getting better and better, and it took a long time to see him take a breath. The energy in his body is surging, but it has become more secretive, and it is difficult for Jade Skin stage warriors to detect it.
Suddenly.
Gu Sheng's body suddenly paused, and his breath disappeared in an instant. If he hadn't been able to see that Gu Sheng was still standing there, he would have thought he was blinded. He only saw him lunging out fiercely like a python, with extremely powerful fists, and hit the practice pile in front of him fiercely.
Bang! Snap!
Suddenly there was an explosion in the quiet courtyard, and the wooden piles turned into crushed wood chips and exploded instantly.
It was like returning to reality from a mime, and the sound suddenly penetrated into the ears, and the impact was even more shocking.
Gu Sheng looked at the broken wooden piles on the ground in front of him, wiped the sweat on his body, grinned, and felt very happy.
Snake Breathing Technique, successfully promoted to the Dacheng realm!
Gu Sheng is very exciting.
Snake Breathing Technique This martial art is indeed as easy to learn as Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art. Although it is difficult to advance to an advanced level, once it is achieved, the increase will be equally huge.
Snake Breathing Technique, who has reached the level of Xiaocheng, can already make Gu Sheng completely restrain his aura at the same level.
And after Dacheng, the effect is even better.
Not only can the breath be restrained, but one's own strength and energy and blood fluctuations can also be restrained.
This way.
Even Blood Refining Realm can't detect the convergence of Gu Sheng. Unless he is a perfect master of the Blood Refining Realm who has harmonized his energy and blood, he might be able to detect some flaws.
Not only that.
Dacheng Snake Breathing Technique is also helpful in combat.
Although it is not as good as the convergence effect in the non-combat state, it can also greatly reduce the power fluctuations of Gu Sheng's shots. In this way, it is suitable for using to trick people!
Think about it, during the battle, the power of this punch was clearly perceived to be average, but it suddenly exploded with several times the power. The enemy was caught off guard and could easily catch the flaw.
[Name]: Gu Sheng
[Age]: 16
[Realm]: Skin Refining stage (jade skin)
[Martial Arts]: Chop firewood (Tier 1 Rend), Archery (First-order Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (79% perfect), Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art (47% perfect), Snake Breathing Technique (0% successful)
Look at your own panel.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but smile.
Among the five martial arts, the last one is above the realm of Dacheng. This is something that others cannot even imagine.
Ordinary people can stand out even if they have a small level of martial arts. If they have a high level of martial arts, they can become famous masters nearby like Gu Jingang.
Today's Gu Jingang is already the veritable top master of Gu Family Village.
Since taking Blood Strengthening Pill the year before last and successfully breaking through to the minor accomplishment in Blood Refining realm, Zhuangnai has devoted a lot of resources to keep him approaching the realm of blood refining.
Although Gu Changming is refining blood faster than him and is infinitely close to the realm of Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke, but with the blessing of Dacheng Iron Stone Fist, Gu Changming is no match for Gu Jingang.
Gu Jingang's right to speak in Gu Family Village has also been further enhanced.
Many young people regard Gu Jingang as their life goal.
"Blood Refining Realm Xiaocheng, for me in the past, it was indeed unattainable, but now, I will break through the Blood Refining Realm soon!"
"When the time comes, with my perfect Iron Stone Fist, even if it is not as good as Gu Jingang, it should not be difficult to beat Gu Dajiang."
Think of this.
Gu Sheng felt a little excited.
The three former Gu Family Village masters are no longer unattainable goals, and are being caught up step by step by Gu Sheng.
Surpassing Gu Jingang is just a matter of time.
Thinking back to the time when he had to work so hard to chop firewood for a meal, Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. No one knew that the young boy chopping firewood back then had reached this point without even knowing it.
Waiting for promotion to the Blood Refining Realm.
Gu Sheng will have more confidence in his heart. Even if his strength is really exposed one day, he will not worry about being captured without any resistance, and he will just run away if it is not possible.
"Just take about three more medicinal baths and you'll reach the limit of your flesh and blood!"
"However, Blood Nourishing Powder is almost used up, and there is still one left. Tomorrow, I will be guarding the purchasing team in the village and go to the black market to buy another batch."
It was previously estimated that about forty medicinal baths would be enough to reach the limit of flesh and blood, but in fact more than two or three times is normal and not that accurate, so it is not a big problem.
these few months.
Gu Sheng After becoming a warrior, you also need to bear certain responsibilities.
Gu Family Village's fields and houses were not given in vain. While ensuring the status of warriors, warriors also need to make contributions.
One of the errands is to escort the procurement team into the city, in addition to suppressing bandits, driving away animals, patrolling, etc.
certainly.
It is not without gain when the escort team enters the city. Stone-skin warriors usually receive a symbolic two taels of silver, and Iron Skin martial artist gets four taels. Although Gu Sheng is a stone-skin warrior, he has excellent archery skills, so having three taels is also a good bonus.
Tomorrow will be his second time escorting the purchasing team into the city.
The next day.
Gu Sheng was waiting outside the village early. He has no habit of procrastination.
However, there were people earlier than him, and they were all villagers who needed to go into the city for business. It had been a long time since the attack, and everyone had gradually forgotten about it. More and more people came into the city, including many familiar faces, such as the hunters who had drank together.
Gu Sheng and a few people nodded, and the hunters suddenly showed excited expressions. They did not dare to come over to have a relationship with Gu Sheng. They just turned around and boasted softly to other familiar people.
It was nothing more than saying that he and the warrior knew each other and had drinks together.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was also one of those who had to follow Shonai's team into the city. He looked at the strong and powerful bodies of the warriors with secret envy and awe, but now, he has become one of the warriors.
The change in status made him feel a little emotional.
Slowly, warriors arrived one after another and greeted Gu Sheng with a smile.
Although Gu Sheng declined to marry the daughter of the master's family, that is something that the clan elders need to consider. For ordinary warriors, it is still necessary to make friends with a sharp archer warrior like Gu Sheng.
Moreover, when Mangniu Mountain was attacked, Gu Sheng also helped many warriors.
Gu Sheng responded with a smile, without any arrogance, and behaved very humbly.
"A Sheng!"
There were shouts of joy in the distance.
Gu Sheng turned around and saw a tall figure in blue running towards this side quickly. Gu Xiaojiang This guy has a special liking for blue clothes. Except for certain occasions, he almost always wears blue clothes.
Gu Sheng smiled and said:
"If you don't practice hard in the village, why did you come to escort the team into the city?"
He looked at Gu Xiaojiang in front of him, and could vaguely feel that his aura was much stronger. He hadn't seen him for a while, and Gu Xiaojiang was getting stronger again. This guy's talent was really good.
Gu Xiaojiang curled his lips and said:
"You have to take a proper rest every day when practicing. You should combine work and rest with relaxation. This is the right answer! It's a good time to go to the city and see the scenery."
Gu Sheng was about to speak when he saw Gu Dajiang walking over from a distance.
He will be in charge of this trip into the city.
Although Gu Dajiang was injured the year before last and his strength has declined a bit, he is still a master Blood Refining Realm after all, and there is no problem in intimidating some young people.
Gu Sheng said respectfully:
"Uncle Dajiang."
Gu Dajiang smiled and nodded. Although Gu Sheng declined to marry the daughter of the master's family, his attitude towards Gu Sheng did not change at all. He has always been very grateful to Gu Sheng for taking action that day.
"You help Uncle Dajiang to persuade him. This little brat is stubborn and puts too much pressure on himself. The key to cultivating a religion is perseverance. How can one be as reckless as him? If it goes on for a long time, if there is no breakthrough in the realm, the person will die first."
Gu Xiaojiang immediately retorted:
"Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If I don't seize the time, how can I become a strong person in the future? Asheng works harder than me. You want him to persuade me?"
Gu Dajiang suddenly became speechless, shook his head and left the whole team.
Gu Sheng I understand.
Feeling Gu Xiaojiang was captured by Gu Dajiang and went to the city together. Most of what he said to him just now was learned from Gu Dajiang.
He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, patted Gu Xiaojiang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"It's good to come out for a walk, it just so happens that we haven't gotten together for a long time."
Gu Xiaojiang nodded and said:
"If I hadn't known that Asheng was here, I wouldn't have been interested in coming out."
The two of them rode on the horses prepared in the village and ran towards the front of the motorcade.
Under the leadership of steward Gu Renbing, the purchasing team slowly left the village. The team snaked like a snake, very similar to when Gu Sheng first entered the city.
Likewise, Gu Dajiang and Gu Xiaojiang are the father and son leaders.
The difference is that Gu Sheng's identity has completely changed.
The team moved forward.
There were no disturbances. Gu Xiaojiang was always wary of his surroundings. He was completely different from the first time Gu Sheng entered the city. The experience of walking through the gates of hell when he entered the city made him change a lot, and his personality became more cautious.
Good thing.
There were no troubles along the way. Ever since Liu Yuanhu became the magistrate of Daixian County, he had everything in Canghe County, and many bandits did not dare to be too arrogant, lest they trigger a crackdown.
Gu Xiaojiang was chatting with Gu Sheng in a low voice, all about their cultivation experiences or some experiences and interesting things.
Suddenly, he sighed and said:
"A Sheng, actually I know what my father means. He doesn't want me to be under too much pressure and relax, but there is no way. If I don't work hard, how can I be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm before I turn eighteen."
Gu Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Xiaojiang, you have outstanding talent, and now Iron Stone Fist has reached the state of great success. Are you not sure?"
Gu Xiaojiang shook his head, his eyes a little dark.
"It's hard to say."
"With my talent and the tilt of the bank's resources, it is basically a sure thing to be promoted to Jade Skin stage before the end of this year. It can even be faster, but the difficult thing is to be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm."
The two of them were riding on tall horses, quietly keeping a certain distance from the others.
Gu Sheng Listen attentively.
"I told you before that if you want to be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, you need to constantly take medicinal baths to transform your flesh and blood to the limit. This is not difficult for me. I, Iron Stone Fist, can do it in seven or eight months with a lot of resources."
"The hard part is the second step."
Gu Xiaojiang rubbed his face violently, feeling distressed.
"The second step requires the fusion of strength and flesh and blood to create the power of qi and blood. It is normal for people who are not talented enough to be stuck at this bottleneck for a lifetime. Although I am confident that I can break through, it is hard to say when it will take."
He glanced at Gu Dajiang and continued:
"It took my father several years to break through the Blood Refining Realm. I want to go faster, but it's very difficult."
Gu Sheng nodded silently.
For ordinary people, this is indeed the case. It is common for a person to be stuck at a bottleneck for a lifetime.
Therefore, after many warriors are unable to break through the bottleneck, some will gradually give up and turn to enjoying themselves and striving for wealth and status, while others will continue to persevere, dripping water through stone, and finally break through the bottleneck.
Gu Sheng has known from a long time ago that practicing martial arts is hard work, and not everyone can persist for ten years.
Talent is important, but persistence is equally important.
"Let nature take its course and relax your mind. If you are too tight, it will be difficult to break through the bottleneck."
He could only comfort him like this.
Gu Xiaojiang Silence.
The convoy slowly drove past Mangniu Mountain, and Gu Xiaojiang suddenly smiled and said:
"A Sheng, do you still remember this place? If it hadn't been for you that time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be the Gu Xiaojiang we have today."
Gu Sheng also smiled.
At that time, his archery skills had just reached perfection. When he entered the city for the first time, he encountered Yunzhou's fleeing rebel army.
"Of course I remember, but to be honest, I did it more to protect myself."
Gu Xiaojiang laughed dumbly and pointed at Gu Sheng.
"You guy..."
Then, he suddenly came over and whispered:
"A Sheng, you know, that time was not just for purchasing supplies, but also for refining Blood Strengthening Pill. Not only did the village hunt a demon wolf before, but you also ate demon wolf meat..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But Gu Sheng immediately understood that he was going to the city to find Alchemist Ge Qing to refine Blood Strengthening Pill with the blood of the demon wolf. The only one in the city who had the ability to take on this kind of work and who Gu Family Village had access to was Alchemist Ge Qing.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes. No wonder Gu Dajiang and his son both left early and came back late at that time, looking in a hurry.
Blood Strengthening Pill, the price is clearly marked, at least five hundred taels a piece!
And basically they all have a price but no market.
Gu Xiaojiang was able to tell himself all this, and it was obvious that he really cared about it.
Before Gu Sheng could speak, Gu Xiaojiang sighed softly:
"Originally, my father had one Blood Strengthening Pill, but that time he was seriously injured and felt that he had no hope of martial arts, so he wanted to give me that Blood Strengthening Pill. I thought that if I could break through the bottleneck on my own, maybe my father would agree to use it myself, and it would be better for his health."
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
But Zi respected his parents and kept them in his heart.
Gu Sheng patted Gu Xiaojiang on the shoulder and didn't say much. He couldn't help with this kind of thing. After all, he didn't have a bottleneck, and he couldn't help Gu Xiaojiang break through the realm.
However, after talking like this, Gu Xiaojiang seemed to feel much better.
He glanced at Mangniu Mountain behind him and hummed:
"This guy Wang Chong injured my father and intercepted my Gu Family Village team. In the future, when I am promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, I must find him and kill him!"
Gu Sheng just smiled and nodded.
However, I feel that the chance is not great. I haven't seen Wang Chong show up for more than a year. Maybe Canghe County is no longer there.
The journey was uneventful.
Gu Family Village's convoy entered the city safely.
After a routine purchase, Gu Sheng took advantage of the darkness and went to the black market to buy more than a dozen copies of Blood Nourishing Powder. As a result, his total cash balance was only a little over one hundred taels. If he hadn't successively sold some of the medicine and weapons he had obtained during this period, Gu Sheng's wealth would have bottomed out at this moment.
Today, he has just over one hundred taels of silver in cash.
After that, there are some jewelry obtained from Li Yu, which is about more than one hundred taels of silver. After being promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, he can quietly change his appearance and sell them out.
Gu Sheng needs to save some money. After being promoted to the Blood Refining Realm, he can go to Black Market Auction to see if there is a Body Tempering Martial Arts that suits him.
The earlier you start practicing, the better the results will be.
Two days later.
The Gu Family Village team returned, but there was still no disturbance. Gu Sheng received three taels of silver, said goodbye to Gu Xiaojiang and returned home.
The mood has begun to wait.
The next step is to complete the last three medicinal baths with peace of mind and be promoted to the Blood Refining Realm!
