Chen Zong doesn't like to be disturbed when he practices swords, and the corner of the training ground is his favorite.
Here, there are a few big trees planted with dense palm-sized leaves, as if separating this corner from the entire training ground.
The light of the fine iron sword shone, and the sword pierced through the air, making a piercing and sharp sound.
Chen Zong first practiced the Remnant Shadow Swordsmanship, the Willow Swordsmanship and the Eagle Fencing Swordmanship 10 times each, and then practiced the Eight Forms of the Real Sword 20 times.
There are seven sword-swing movements in the first level, which need to coordinate the hands, body, steps and eyes. These seven sword-swing movements do not have much power in themselves. Finally burst out.
This is the case with the cultivation of human-level martial arts.
Chen Zong swung his sword over and over again, repeatedly practicing the seven movements of the first stage of the split-light swordsmanship, trying to make every movement perfect and coherent.
"Human-level martial arts is the use of the power of qi and blood. Each human-level martial art has its own way of operating the power of qi and blood, and finally erupts with different powers and different effects."
"For example, the seven movements of the first stage of the light-splitting swordsmanship that I practice belong to the first stage of this swordsmanship. The purpose is to familiarize myself with the operation of this kind of energy and blood until I am very familiar with it. In addition, the guiding method is needed to make the power of qi and blood run like this, bursting out in an instant, thus displaying the first level of split lightsaber."
After practicing for three consecutive days, Chen Zong had a thorough understanding of the first level of the Light Splitting Sword Technique, the difference was only in the mastery of the body.
This requires hard work, which is inevitable for anyone.
"Splitting light!"
With a low shout, the seven sword swing movements were coherent, completed within two short breaths, the power of Qi and blood surged, moved in a strange way, and then broke out.
Out of the sword!
As soon as he struck out with a sword, the sword light was dazzling, and split into two instantly, piercing out left and right. The two sword lights were real, leaving traces of light in the air, which dissipated after one breath.
"It's still not enough. At least you have to practice until you can use the power of qi and blood with the sword, and you can display the light and glare when you draw the sword." Chen Zong secretly said: "Sure enough, it is more difficult to practice than the foundation building martial arts."
Continue to practice, let the body remember the feeling of the power of Qi and blood running, until the arms are limp and weak.
After returning to the house and resting for a while, Chen Zong began to practice the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu.
The three beast blood pills have already been eaten. Without the beast blood pills, the strength of Qi and blood increased very slowly.
"I have to find a way to get more beast blood pills."
After practicing Liehu Gong, Chen Zong thought about it.
After officially becoming a warrior, the contribution point system of the family hall will be opened.
Contribution points are very useful, they can be exchanged for training qualifications in martial arts, and can be exchanged for weapons and pills.
Ten contribution points are required to redeem a Beast Blood Pill, and those who have just become warriors and start the contribution point system generally have zero contribution points.
It stands to reason that Chen Zong tempered his blood seven times, breaking the previous record of the Chen family and creating a new record. With such a talent, he deserves to be cultivated by the family hall, but unfortunately, the Chen family's philosophy is not like this.
No matter who they are, no matter how much talent they have, they are treated equally when entering the clan hall.
The Chen family's philosophy believes that if it is a real tiger, it will sooner or later show its majesty as the king of beasts, otherwise, it will only disappear from the crowd.
To become a king, a tiger must go through battles, and to become a talent, a man must be honed.
Furthermore, Chen Zong didn't say anything about tempering his blood energy seven times, Elder Xing just thought that he tempered it six times.
"Whether it is to obtain more beast blood pills or practice better martial arts, it is inseparable from contribution points."
"There is not one way to obtain contribution points. If you have enough strength, you can hunt monsters and exchange them with the clan hall for contribution points. But for me now, it is obviously too early to say."
Now, I have only broken through to the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm not long ago, and I have only started to practice human-level martial arts. No matter my cultivation or strength, I am in a relatively rapid improvement period, so I am not suitable for going out.
"Then, the second method is to find some tasks in the family hall."
"Perhaps, I should go to the main department to have a look."
There is a task room in the main area, which will list some related tasks, as long as the clan disciples can accept them, after completing them, they will be rewarded with corresponding contribution points.
Chen Zong carefully scanned the task panel on the wall.
"Look for the silver thread root. Note: the silver thread root is a second-grade herbal medicine, which can be exchanged for twenty contribution points."
"Look for Jinluohua. Note: Jinluohua is a third-grade herbal medicine, which can be exchanged for forty contribution points."
"Look for silver clover ginseng. Note: Silver clover ginseng is a fourth-grade herbal medicine, which can be exchanged for 80 contribution points."
Most of them are quests to find herbs.
The grades of herbal medicines are divided into nine grades. The first grade of herbal medicine refers to the herbs that are more than 10 years old and less than 20 years old. The second grade is from 20 years to 30 years old. , the ninth-grade herbal medicine is more than 90 years old and less than 100 years old.
When it reaches 100 years, the properties of herbal medicine will change qualitatively, so it is a precious medicine.
To find herbs, one often has to enter deep mountains and old forests, and it takes a lot of time to come and go.
Other tasks are to hunt and kill some specific monsters, obtain a certain part of them and bring them back to the clan, so as to obtain contribution points.
Whether it is looking for herbs or hunting monsters, Chen Zong temporarily ruled it out.
Then, there are not many tasks left.
After looking at it, Chen Zong finally chose a task.
"A foundry apprentice, depending on performance, can get ten to one hundred contribution points per month."
"Are you sure you want this mission?" The administrator of the mission room looked at Chen Zong with a surprised look.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zong asked.
"There were quite a few people who received this task before, but they were kicked out after less than a month without any contribution." The administrator said: "I advise you to change to another task."
"Is there any reason?" Chen Zong asked again.
"Hehe, the elder of the foundry has a bad temper, and his requirements are relatively high, which is difficult to meet." The administrator laughed.
"Thank you for letting me know, I want to try it." Chen Zong still said, it's not his style to retreat without trying it.
"Up to you." The administrator registered Chen Zong, and then took out a black iron plate and handed it to Chen Zong: "This is the apprentice card of the foundry, take it to the elder Lie of the foundry, he will arrange for you specific tasks."
"Excuse me." Chen Zong took the iron plate and left.
The iron plate is shaped like a shield, with the word "cast" engraved on one side and the pattern of a hammer on the other.
"What's wrong with having a bad temper?"
"What kind of high law is it that has relatively high requirements?"
While muttering, Chen Zong strode towards the foundry. The foundry also belongs to the main department area, not too far from the task room.
The door of the foundry was black and was tightly closed, and Chen Zong knocked.
"Who?" The voice came out, and the door was opened, revealing a very honest face, who seemed to be in his twenties, suspicious eyes fell on Chen Zong's face: "Who are you? What's the matter? "
"I'm a new apprentice." Chen Zong raised the iron plate in his hand to signal.
"Oh, someone dares to take on this task again." While speaking, the man opened all the doors and let Chen Zong enter: "My name is Chen Wuhou, and I have been here for six months."
"His name is Chen Qi, and he has been here for three months." Chen Wuhou pointed to another person in the foundry and smiled.
Chen Qi was wiping a long knife when he heard this and glanced at Chen Zong with a blank expression on his face.
"Hi brothers, my name is Chen Zong." Chen Zong introduced himself.
"I'm not interested in knowing your name, because you will be kicked out soon." Chen Qi's tone was harsh.
"Haha, brother, don't mind, he just has this temper." Chen Wuhou smoothed things over, but Chen Zong just smiled and didn't care.
"Brother Wu Hou, where is Elder Lie?" Chen Zong asked.
"Wait a minute, Elder Lie is casting swords in the casting room." Chen Wuhou pointed to the closed heavy black iron door in front of him and said.
Chen Zong waited with peace of mind. After Chen Wuhou poured Chen Zong a glass of water, he picked up his sword and wiped it carefully like Chen Qi, while Chen Zong watched from the side.
The swords here range from ordinary iron grade to fine iron grade, but there is no precious iron grade above fine iron grade.
About half an hour later, the heavy iron door opened, and a wave of heat gushed out, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly. After that, a not tall but very strong figure strode out.
This man's complexion is like bronze, his eyes are like copper bells, his black hair and beard are somewhat curly, and his arms are bare. It can be seen that his muscles are like cast iron, which contains terrifying power. This kind of inexplicable oppression, as if one look could suppress him, and one finger could smash him to pieces.
"Elder Lie, this person's name is Chen Zong, and he is a new apprentice." Chen Wuhou put down the long sword in his hand, and said to the people who came out of the casting room, with a respectful tone.
"Elder Lie." Chen Zong took out the black iron plate and handed it to Elder Lie.
"Small arms and legs, another one is useless. You'd better get out as soon as possible, so as not to make me angry." Elder Lie glanced at the iron plate, and then quickly sized Chen Zong, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong, with a sharp tone rush.
"Elder Lie hasn't given me a task yet, so how do I know if I'm useful or not." Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
"Yo, kid is a bit courageous. Very good. Since you want a task, I'll give you a task. If you do well, you can keep it. If you can't, get out." Elder Lie seemed amused, and said in a vicious tone, "I'll give you ten days!" Time, if you hit a piece of ordinary iron, you can keep it, otherwise, as far as you can go, Chen Wuhou, you will teach him the four key points of iron making."
"Yes, elder." Chen Wuhou responded respectfully.
"Chen Qi, after wiping the sword, send it to the store." Elder Lie finished speaking and walked away.
"Sure enough, I don't have a good temper." Chen Zong secretly said, but he didn't care, he had heard even the worst words.
"It is impossible to build a piece of ordinary iron within ten days. It will take at least a month to master the four key points of blacksmithing. Brother, I advise you not to waste time. It is better to go to the mission room and eliminate the mission. "Chen Wuhou persuaded.
"I still want to try it, brother Wuhou clan please teach me." Chen Zong said seriously.
"Since you insist, follow me." Chen Wuhou said, leading Chen Zong into the casting room.
The casting room is very large and the temperature inside is very high. There are a total of three furnaces placed in three directions, but only the largest one burns raging flames, and two other people take turns pulling the bellows and throwing in firewood to keep the fire strong.
"Brother Chen Zong, I will explain to you the four key points of forging iron. After you master it, you can start to forge ordinary iron." Chen Wuhou led Chen Zong to an extinguished furnace, picked up a piece of iron ore and began to demonstrate.
