Hearing the words "two hundred thousand catties", the strong man raised his head and glanced at the one-armed monk in front of him. He looked young and didn't feel any heat in his body. Could it be that he was a monk above Middle Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm?
The strong man's attitude immediately became more respectful, and he took out another jade tablet.
"Master, room No. 8, on the right side of the corridor, a private room costs fifty yuan an hour Lower-Grade Spirit Stone."
Qin Tiexin handed over Spirit Stone, took the jade plaque and walked along the corridor, and soon came to the door of Room 8. The door was made of Heaviness bluestone, with a circle of soundproof patterns embedded on the door frame. He pressed the jade plaque into the groove on the door, and the stone door slid open silently.
The interior of the room is three feet square, and the walls and floor are all made of some kind of dark gray sound-absorbing stone. The surface is covered with dense shock-absorbing array patterns, each of which is slightly glowing. In the center stands a half-person-high force measuring column. The column body is made of multiple layers of Spirit Rune metal, and a translucent aura display panel is embedded at the bottom.
Qin Tiexin closed the stone door, took off the monk's robe, folded it and placed it in the corner, wearing only a close-fitting coarse cloth shorts. He moved his left shoulder and walked to the force measuring column.
Facing the force measuring column, clench your left fist.
The way Primordial Unity Stance Fist exerts force, the center of gravity sinks, Qi and Blood pours out from Dantian, progresses along the three joints of the waist, shoulder, and arm, and finally converges to a point on the fist surface. His left fist is covered with a layer of Blood Qi waves that are almost visible to the naked eye, and hits the sensing surface of the force measuring column heavily.
Bang!
The entire force-measuring column was knocked backwards, and a line of numbers popped up on the aura display panel at the bottom: seventy-two thousand six hundred kilograms.
Qin Tiexin retracted his fist and looked at the line of numbers. He had gained more than 20,000 kilograms compared with before the breakthrough. He remembered that when Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, the limit of his left hand was about 50,000 kilograms. Now that he has broken through in the middle, the increase in strength is within expectations.
He didn't stop, and punched three more times. Seventy-one thousand, seventy-three thousand, two, and seventy-two thousand eight. To give an approximate value, it's about seventy-two thousand jins. This level of strength is already considered high-end in the Qi and Blood Realm's physical training, and is close to the ordinary Late Qi and Blood Realm's strength.
But it is still far from the goal he set for himself. The effect of "True Fire Furnace Scripture" is less than 50%. According to the content of Cultivation Method, his [Fire of Life] can absorb a variety of Divergent Flame, Spirit Fire, thereby improving the smelting effect, but it is a pity that apart from seeing Spirit Fire "Azure Nether" from Master Luo Ling, I have never heard any news about Spirit Fire.
After testing his hand strength, he retreated to a position against the wall of the room, then leaned his back against the wall, with his left leg independent, assuming a one-legged stance. After standing for a moment to adapt, he took a deep breath and kicked out his right leg!
Hills and Ravines Thrust Kick!
The moment the sole of the foot touches the force-measuring column, it is pushed forward half an inch, and the force is poured into the sensing surface. Then switch to the left leg and pedal again with the same movement.
Two strings of numbers popped up on the display board: the right leg weighed one hundred and thirty thousand catties, and the left leg weighed one hundred and eleven thousand catties.
Qin Tiexin looked at these two numbers and was silent for a breath. Yang Qingxue said that for a qualified kicking monk, the leg strength should be more than twice the arm strength. Based on his current arm strength of 72,000 kilograms, twice is 144,000 kilograms, and 100,000 kilograms is still far behind.
However, leg strength has never been his strong point. Although he insisted on practicing Mountain Stance and Crosswise Ridge Sweep during the two months of travel, the real systematic leg training has not yet begun. At least he has not found a suitable boulder to practice on, at least the reverse step on boulders.
Then, he took out Edgeless from the storage ring.
The moment Edgeless landed on the palm of his hand, his wrist sank slightly for half a minute. The blade was still in that inconspicuous appearance, with hammer marks left from blacksmithing accumulated on the back of the blade, and the blade was dull and dull.
But he knew that this knife was wrong. Starting from Wind and Snow Pass, Edgeless kept getting heavier, or in other words, kept adapting to his strength.
Without using any force, he placed Edgeless horizontally on the sensing surface of the force measuring column. A number popped up on the display board: seventy-two thousand kilograms.
Qin Tiexin stared at that number and frowned. This number was exactly the same as the strength of his left hand. His strength increased by 20,000, and Edgeless also increased by 20,000.
It's not a coincidence. Whenever his strength increases, this sword will increase in weight simultaneously, no more, no less, exactly equal to his current ultimate strength. It has this characteristic after returning from the blood pool of Wind and Snow Pass.
Qin Tiexin held the handle of Edgeless in his left hand and looked at the dark lines on the blade. He had seen the classics in the Zongmen Scripture Pavilion and heard that some high-grade Law Artifact had spirituality and could automatically adapt to the owner's cultivation and strength, and was called [Growth-Type Law Artifact].
But those characteristics are usually only qualified for Law Treasure and above, and are extremely rare in Spirit Artifact. Judging from the current grade of Edgeless, it can only be regarded as the level of Lower-Grade Spirit Artifact at best.
"Where is your upper limit?" He asked Edgeless, wondering whether it would continue to grow as his strength grew.
Edgeless naturally did not answer, but the handle of the knife sent a very slight tremor in his palm, as if someone called him out and turned over when he closed his eyes to rest.
He put the knife into the storage ring, put the monk's robe back on, opened the stone door and walked out.
There was no one in the corridor. When he returned to the counter, the strong man was completing the procedures for a new monk. When he saw him coming out, he looked up.
At this sight, the strong man narrowed his eyes, and seemed to feel the Qi and Blood fluctuations on Qin Tiexin that had just been restrained and were still warm.
"Master's power is pretty good."
"That's good." Qin Tiexin put the jade plaque on the counter, made a Buddhist salute with one hand raised up, and turned around to leave the force measuring hall.
After measuring his strength, Qin Tiexin was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he slowly started shopping at Cloud Ford Ward. He wanted to find a shop or stall selling Cultivation Method, so he disguised himself as the monk Mingjue, also holding an iron rod, can't even use a Buddhist martial arts move. It doesn't make sense. At least buy a few simple introductory books Cultivation Method to show off, so that you can use it to deal with it at critical moments.
He did have an article on stick techniques, which was "Stone-Shattering Staff Technique" that he found in the ruins of the Iron Spine Sect. Although it was not from Buddhism, it was still enough to fill up the number. It was mainly because it was simple and direct. He had learned a rough outline of it in the past few days. Today, he mainly wanted to find a few books on martial arts such as Buddhist palm techniques and boxing techniques.
As soon as he reached the middle of the main street, he noticed something strange. There were significantly more people on the street than when he arrived at Ten Thousand Stars City half a month ago, and among the extra people, most of the young faces at the Foundation Establishment Realm were there.
There are young monks wearing gray cloth monk robes and holding Zen staffs; there are Daoist disciples with long swords hanging from their waists and Daoist bones and fairy styles; there are Aristocratic Clan boys in gorgeous brocade robes with the Lineage emblem embroidered on their chests; there are rough girls covered in animal skins riding white lions and black eagles on their shoulders;
The cultivation level of these people all fluctuated between Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but the expressions on their faces were different from ordinary Rogue Cultivator. They were not in a hurry to get goods, but with an expression of nervousness and expectation. They walked in twos and threes on the street, listened carefully, and chatted about "quotas", "prefectural examinations", "recommendations" and the like.
Qin Tiexin continued walking along the main street, and when he passed the door of a teahouse, the conversation between two young Rogue Cultivator floated into his ears.
"Star Selection heard that the number of places this year is even less than last year. Illustrious Dao Ward's internal recommendation places from a few universities account for most of them, and Rogue Cultivator still has to fight for the remaining places."
"Why are you so anxious? Star Selection is not just about cultivation. Besides, your flying sword has been cracked for three months. Can you repair it first?"
"Just make do with it. Ten Thousand Stars City It's too expensive to repair Law Artifact here. If I had known better, I would have had it repaired in my hometown before coming back."
Qin Tiexin paused for a moment.
Star Selection.
He had seen this name before in Jade Slip of Chen Xi. It was Myriad Stars Dynasty's five-year dynasty talent selection. To put it bluntly, it was the imperial examination version of cultivating immortals, targeting the whole nation. A Myriad Stars Dynasty Foundation Establishment Realm monk selects talents. The selected candidates can receive training from the resources of the dynasty, enter Illustrious Dao Ward's school for further study, and even have the opportunity to become an official.
No wonder there are so many young monks on the street. These people come from all over Myriad Stars Dynasty to participate in Star Selection.
Qin Tiexin Standing at the intersection of Cloud Ford Ward main street, looking at the young monks coming and going in front of him, he suddenly remembered something.
It seems that the eldest son and the second young lady of Lin Household are studying at the Supreme Splendor Academy in Illustrious Dao Ward, and their cultivation level is at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Star Selection is coming, so these two people should also participate.
