Unintentionally, he became the first founder of blowgun in the Silver Continent. For Yan Liqiang at the moment, this feeling was just like a person with only 100 yuan in his pocket buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, thus emptying the lottery pool.
On the way back to Wuyang Village from the National Martial Arts Hall, Yan Liqiang walked lightly and felt a little dizzy. The four words "Heavenly Dao Infusing the Body" made his little heart beat with excitement all the way.
According to Master Song, the number of times the founder of a fighting skill or secret technique received Heavenly Dao Initiation is the highest level that the fighting skill or secret technique can reach. For example, the Tiger Roaring Serial Fist that he practiced has only five levels at most, which means that the first founder who created this boxing technique received Heavenly Dao Initiation five times in total. Another example is the Nine Palaces Wind Shadow Step, which has only six levels at most, which means that the first founder who created this step received Heavenly Dao Initiation six times in total.
As for other more advanced secret techniques and combat skills, their creators received more Heavenly Dao Initiations, which was why those who were called ancestors were so awesome. Because every Heavenly Dao Initiation was equivalent to an extra opportunity for the person being initiated to improve his or her own abilities. With more such opportunities, those ancestor-level figures would stand out and become the people that people in the entire Silver Continent looked up to.
How many levels can this skill of blowing arrows eventually reach? Yan Liqiang didn't know. He only knew that if he wanted to change his fate and prevent those tragic things from happening again in the future, he had to seize this opportunity...
At noon, Yan Liqiang had already returned to Wuyang Village. After eating a bowl of noodles and buying a few steamed buns, Yan Liqiang returned to his courtyard, took the blowgun he had made, and went to the mountain to find a place to practice blowing it.
After advancing to the first level of the blowgun skill, Yan Liqiang's lung capacity increased greatly, and both his inhalation and exhalation were longer than before. In particular, the explosive power of his lungs when he exhaled allowed the blowgun darts he blew to reach a longer range, with their power remaining undiminished over a distance of more than twenty-five meters. The length of the courtyard was no longer sufficient for him to perform, so he went to the mountains to find a place to train.
There is a mass grave on the back of the hill where Wuyang Village is located, so you can see the other side of the mass grave from the top of the hill. Even in broad daylight, people in the village who are herding cattle and chopping wood are reluctant to get close. In addition, the top of the hill is covered with dense trees and weeds, making it a great place to practice blowgunning.
…
Just one day later, on September 2, at a secluded place on the top of a small hill in Wuyang Village, Yan Liqiang was once again surrounded by red light and received his second initiation from the Heavenly Dao…
Four days later, on September 6, the third Heavenly Dao Initiation came as scheduled…
…
On September 7, Yan Liqiang got up early in the morning. After finishing his morning lessons and having breakfast at a small noodle restaurant at the bottom of the village, Yan Liqiang returned to the courtyard.
Yan Liqiang did not continue training after returning to the courtyard. Instead, he took out the black-ringed viper he had bought, extracted the snake venom again, and smeared the black-ringed viper venom on the dart he had made to ensure the efficacy of the dart.
After the snake venom on the blowgun dried, the protruding needle tip on the surface of the needle at the tip of the blowgun, when facing the light, had an extra layer of dark blue glow.
Out of caution, Yan Liqiang had tried the venom of a black viper two days ago. A wild civet in the woods on the mountain was only stung by the flying needle he blew. The body of the civet was anesthetized and stiff for a whole night. It only regained its ability to move the next day.
After extracting the snake venom, Yan Liqiang went up the mountain, released the black-ringed viper, brought back the bamboo cage, and burned it into ashes directly in the kitchen in the courtyard, eliminating all traces.
Then, he wrapped the blowpipe and blowgun he had prepared densely with several layers of waterproof oilcloth, and put them together with two sets of clothes and a dagger in a leather bag that he had carried with him to Pingxi City. After carefully sorting them out, he carried the bag, left Wuyang Village, and entered Pingxi City.
Yan Liqiang did not go to the National Martial Arts Museum, but went directly to the Plum Garden in Pingxi City.
Plum Garden is a scenic spot in Pingxi City. It is close to Wanshou Lake in Pingxi City. The Plum Garden is full of flowers and pavilions. It is an extremely elegant place in Pingxi City. Young men and women, literati and poets in Pingxi City like to stay here. Of course, the consumption of these places in the Plum Garden is also very high. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. The most they can do is take a walk and look at the plum blossoms and waterscape...
After walking around the Plum Garden and visiting all the places he needed to see, Yan Liqiang left the Plum Garden and came to a street on the other side of Wanshou Lake.
There are inns and restaurants on both sides of this street. It is also a lively place in Pingxi City. After walking along this street twice, at noon, after having lunch, Yan Liqiang went directly to an inn called Tingtao Yayuan on the street.
"Welcome, welcome. I wonder if this guest would like to stay in the hotel or eat something. The fish in our hotel are all caught in Wanshou Lake. They are guaranteed to be fresh..." As soon as Yan Liqiang entered, the waiter of the inn came out to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Well, I'm staying at the hotel. I wonder if your hotel has any private courtyards near the lake?"
"Yes, yes, of course. The small courtyard near the lake is not only quiet, but you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wanshou Lake, especially at night. The lights of the lake on the other side of the plum garden, the water and the sky are connected, and you can see it here. It has a unique artistic conception and is considered a unique place in Pingxi City. I'm not bragging. There are hundreds of inns, restaurants and other courtyards along the entire Wanshou Lake, but our courtyard is the most distinctive and can best let people appreciate the beautiful scenery of Wanshou Lake. It's just that the price of this lakeside room is a little more expensive than ordinary rooms, eight cents a night, but this price is not expensive. It is the price in the recent off-season. In the peak season, this price is at least one cent..."
Yan Liqiang acted like he had no shortage of money. "Well, eight cents is eight cents. I just heard that the view is nice here at night, so I wanted to come and see it. Take me to see the yard..."
"Okay, sir, please follow me..."
The waiter took Yan Liqiang to look around the small courtyards near the lake in the inn. Yan Liqiang chose a small courtyard, paid the money, and stayed in the courtyard, waiting for nightfall...
