Chapter 35: Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas
"Are we all different?" Huo Wushuang couldn't help asking.
"Who asked you to do this? Don't you want to grind?"
The two eyes looked at each other. Seeing Li Jiu's strange eyes, Huo Wushuang pursed his lips.
Has she been making mistakes all these years?
A black robe fell on his shoulders, Huo Wushuang raised his head, and then quickly lowered it.
After a while, Huo Wushuang was wrapped in a black robe, handed the inner armor to Li Jiu, and whispered: "I'm a little sweaty, go back and wipe it off."
Li Jiu took the inner armor and tried to put it into the cloth bag. He tried twice and failed to put it in, so he had to tie it with a rope outside the cloth bag.
Huo Wushuang ran to feed the two guards with healing elixirs. After checking, she was sure that the two guards would not die. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
If two guards died because of her, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
"I will have the three thousand catties of iron mother delivered to you as soon as possible. I don't know if there are three thousand catties at home. If not, I will ask someone to buy it from outside. You will need to wait for a while."
"Okay." Li Jiu nodded.
Iron mother is different from elixirs. Pills are hard currency. Every warrior will use elixirs. Iron mother's biggest use is to make weapons. It is not a consumable like elixirs, and its value is not as high as elixirs, so almost no one will Large collection of iron mother.
"By the way, what's your name? My name is Huo Wushuang, from the Huo family."
"Li Jiu."
Huo Wushuang turned his head and found it difficult to look directly at Li Jiu, "Thunder Monkey Fanning Jiang may produce inner elixir, which is good for warriors who practice thunder attribute skills. It can also be used to refine medicine. It is of high value. It can be sold on the black market." It’s worth a lot of money, so you can go and see if this Thunder Monkey has produced any inner elixir.”
"Can it have inner elixir?" Li Jiu asked.
He hasn't developed the inner elixir yet. Can the Fanjiang Thunder Monkey who was killed by it have the inner elixir?
"Monsters are different from humans. Human warriors need to have perfect Qi and blood, break through the first limit, cultivate extraordinary Qi, and reach the level of inner strength before they can sense the Dantian in their bodies.
Demons are not that troublesome. Qi-level demons can also condense the inner elixir. It is mentioned in Shan Hai Yi Zhi that the earlier the demon condenses the inner elixir, the higher its potential is.
The River-Banner Thunder Monkey is a special species of the water monkey family. It has been blessed by Hongze and Zhenlei at the same time. It can swim like a fish in the river and stir up thunder on land! The powerful Water Monkey can reverse the flow of rivers, summon thunder from the sky, and rival great monsters. "Huo Wushuang explained.
Strange mountains and seas
Li Jiu silently remembered the title of the book, walked quickly to the body of Fanjiang Thunder Monkey, and found the inner elixir in it.
The inner alchemy is not big, a little smaller than a pigeon egg. The surface is pitted and surrounded by a blue light.
Holding the inner elixir in your hand, you can vaguely feel the special power contained in it.
"Do you want it?"
Huo Wushuang was surprised, "You want to give it to me?"
"I'm selling it to you. What I'm practicing is not a thunder attribute skill. It's useless. If you want it, I can exchange it for longan grass." Li Jiu said.
You can’t buy longan grass in pharmacies, but Huo Family should have it.
The Huo family controls the herbal medicine and pill business in Qinghe County.
If there wasn't even the Huo family, there probably wouldn't be one in the entire Qinghe County.
Huo Wushuang thought for a while, "How about twenty longan grasses in exchange for the Jiang Lei Monkey Neidan? I swear I didn't cheat you. The selling price of longan grass has been rising since the year before last, and it has nearly tripled now. Twenty longan grasses have The longan grass is the limit I can give, no more, the old man will not agree. "
"make a deal!"
Li Jiu said solemnly, pointing to the body of Fanjiang Thunder Monkey, "Do you want its meat?"
Huo Wushuang shook his head, "No, most of the flesh of low-level demons contains filth. Ordinary people will die suddenly if they eat it. Warriors will be polluted with Qi and blood, causing body distortion. Only the flesh and blood of high-level demons are good for warriors." "The Fanjiang Thunder Monkey is a special species, and its flesh and blood contains more filth than can be eaten. Don't get greedy and get yourself into trouble."
"Can't you eat it? I remember that the first step in the Demon Swallowing Technique is to swallow the demon's flesh and blood."
"Ten people practice the Demon-Swallowing Art, and nine of them will die. The remaining one has to exercise his power every day to suppress the filth, otherwise there is a risk of being contaminated. This means that after practicing the Demon-Swallowing Art, you cannot change the technique. There is only one way to get to the dark side, and the Demon Swallowing Art has no follow-up, and inner strength is the end.”
The Demon Swallowing Technique, the most common demonic technique, is also collected by the Huo family, but no one practices it. At most, they only take a look at it to expand their knowledge.
Through the conversation, Huo Wushuang probably saw that Li Jiu lacked knowledge about spiritual practice.
Although casual cultivators know little, they shouldn’t be so little.
Li Jiu is not a warrior who has just activated his qi and blood. He has also practiced the body tempering technique in the late stage of qi and blood, and his training time is not short.
In such a long time, Li Jiu has not learned about the common sense of the spiritual world?
"In addition to practicing, you usually don't do anything else? For example, read a book?"
"No time." Li Jiu said casually.
He really didn't have time to read, and he kept running on the road to becoming stronger without stopping.
Huo Wushuang thought Li Jiu was the kind of ascetic monk who practiced day and night, and suddenly he felt enlightened.
No wonder his combat power is so high, he turned out to be an ascetic monk.
At this time, the healing elixir Huo Wushuang took took effect, and she regained some strength.
After thanking Li Jiu again for saving her life, she told Li Jiu that she had seized the opportunity for a breakthrough and needed to retreat for a few days. After she came out of seclusion, she would visit Li Jiu as soon as possible.
Speaking of breakthrough, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Do you know? I have been stuck at the peak of my energy and blood for nearly three years, and now I am sure to break through. Do you think it will be soon? Many warriors in Qinghe County only break through to their inner strength in their thirties. , I'm not yet twenty, but it's slow for me!
Bai Longjiao, who is as famous as me, broke through to the inner strong realm in just one year, and made rapid progress in the inner strong realm.
Before this, I always thought that Bai Longjiao was just lucky and was chosen by a big man to go to the battlefield to hone his skills, so that he could surpass me. After walking through the gates of hell, I realized that I was far behind Bai Longjiao, and I was too arrogant before. "
Li Jiu was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "It's very slow."
More than two years!
He didn't dare to think about how anxious he would be if he took more than two years to break through a realm.
The immortal disease would not give him a chance to breathe. If he didn't break through for more than two months, he would find a way to force a breakthrough.
"Yes, it's very slow, I haven't worked hard enough."
Huo Wushuang helped Aju and Axiang up, "Goodbye, next time we meet, I will surpass you. If you are in danger, you can ask me for help, and I will definitely save you."
Li Jiu carried the cloth bag and said lightly: "Not necessarily."
"That's right, you are more experienced than me and are not likely to encounter danger. "Huo Wushuang said.
Li Jiu paused for a moment after hearing this, Huo Wushuang didn't understand what he meant.
He was not just talking about being in danger.
However, he didn't mean to explain, some things didn't need to be said, Huo Wushuang would understand sooner or later.
