Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 48: Bandits and Gaomen

Views:

Zhao Changhe had wanted to leave this small pond for a long time, but he had never been able to determine the point at which he would leave, because he stayed here to accumulate practice. However, he could not predict the progress of his practice before.

But this moment is certain.

When he first crossed over and couldn't even find a single skill, Zhao Changhe never expected that he would be so calm about breaking through the third level of the Mysterious Passage within a few months. It has only been more than half a month since I broke through to the second level, and I have already started to make ambitious plans for the third level...

You must know that Sun Jiaoxi and Fang Buping are only at the fourth level of Xuan Guan. They are both in their thirties and have practiced for more than 20 years. This kind of cultivation has become an elite in all the vast rivers and lakes. Fang Buping can be the leader of the branch, Sun Jiaoxi's status as the right-hand man is no worse than him, and Lin Feihu is also the leader of the fourth level.

There is one level of entrance and one level of sky. How many people in the world waste their lives without seeing the end.

Of course, this depends on the factors of each person's qualifications and skill level. Not everyone has to practice for more than ten or twenty years. Yue Hongling is already at the eighth level at the age of nineteen. He doesn't know what adventures he has had in the world before, and what kind of people he is. Can't compare.

Therefore, people in the world are busy, but the dragon lurks in the abyss.

Xia Chichi is also very talented, and his mother taught him top-notch magical skills since he was a child. At the age of sixteen, he was at the fourth or fifth level of the Mysterious Pass. After being blessed with the Azure Dragon Seal, he was fully trained by the Four Symbols Cult. When he was eighteen or nineteen, he was even on the same level as Yue Hongling. A slight victory is completely expected.

But Zhao Changhe was originally not good enough. Most people, including the master-level Suzaku, first judged Zhao Changhe's future as an older young man who had no future. I only started practicing martial arts when I was nineteen, and my foundation is too poor. It might take ten years to get to the third level of Xuan Guan, and I might not be able to reach it in my lifetime.

The Blood Evil Technique is almost the only technique that can bypass the disadvantage of age and take shortcuts through physical advantages. Therefore, no matter how many disadvantages there are, Zhao Changhe cannot give up.

Originally, if he wanted to cultivate both internal and external skills, it would be impossible to circumvent this disadvantage in internal skills. However, he encountered Xia Longyuan's inheritance, skipping the entry process, and it was still a compatible skill. Maybe it won't be able to escape the disadvantage of age even in the later stages of training, but it doesn't need to be used as the main skill to slowly grind through the Xuan Pass. If it is only used as the blood evil skill to assist in passing the level and as an extra backup blue bar, it is another shortcut among shortcuts.

With such an advantage, why not try the triple entrance hall? It might get slower in the future, never mind.

… …

The gangsters in the cottage found out that Mrs. Yazhai had run away. The village owner had a gloomy face for several days. The atmosphere in the cottage was tense, and no one dared to speak loudly.

Alas, you know that Zhao Boss Nafu Gang will not be able to control his wife sooner or later.

It’s better not to find someone so beautiful in the future. What’s the use of looking like Yue Hongling? It’s not like she really married Yue Hongling. By the way, I was reminded by the tragic example of the boss. Now no one here dares to ask for Zhenyue Hongling. Just think about it and you know how tragic it will be for the family brother in the future. When will he run away, do you have anything to do

The boss doesn't talk much these days, but he seems to have turned his grief into an appetite. He is very good at eating. He has three pounds of meat and three large bowls of rice in one meal, and he doesn't know how his stomach can hold it. If the village had not become rich recently, he would have driven the old village into poverty with the way he was eating.

After eating, I boxed, practiced swordsmanship, archery, and squatted on horseback while holding a stone lock weighing several hundred kilograms.

Then I went to the house to take a medicinal bath. In the middle of the night, I could hear suppressed screams coming from the house. It seemed that the dosage of the medicinal bath was increased.

Although he seems to be like this every day, he has really been working hard recently.

After all, my wife ran away, and I lost a place to vent my energy, so I wouldn't be overstretched.

Who dares to imagine that Zhao Changhe is frantically ingesting nutrients and converting them into physical energy and blood supplies required for the third level of Blood Evil Kung Fu? He dared to think so after only practicing for a few months!

Zhao Changhe himself felt that it was not enough. Although he felt that the third level would not be difficult, he still underestimated the strength of qi and blood required between the second and third levels. Currently, he had filled up half of it at most, and could only rely on food and medicinal baths. Over time, it becomes impossible to achieve it in a short time.

In fact, it is fitness. This thing never works in a short time.

But there is one significant difference from fitness, that is, if you have good medicine, you can directly fill the energy and blood needs, which is much more effective than taking protein powder.

"Tie Zhu, is there any news about the medicine I asked you to find in the city?"

"Boss, the Qi and Blood Powder you want is not sold in the city..."

"It's normal for patent medicines not to be sold. This is an auxiliary medicine recorded in our Blood Demon Gong. How can others sell it? Are you a pig?" Zhao Changhe said angrily: "Where are the medicinal materials I listed? We can prepare the medicine ourselves. "This is making soup and making powder, not Taoist refining elixirs. What's so difficult about it?"

"There are some medicinal materials, but not a lot." Tie Zhu took out a package: "That's all..." Seeing that there were medicines, Zhao Changhe looked a little better, but he was still a little strange: "Why are there so few?"

"Well, Captain Fang often buys this kind of medicine, and the dosage is quite large."

Zhao Changhe was startled and scratched his head.

I'm afraid this is really not what Fang Buping is targeting. If it were, then this package wouldn't be left to you. It's because those rudders are all practicing related skills, and everyone has a need for them. Naturally, the amount is not small. It's normal that there aren't many left in such a remote town.

It seems that I had no foresight and did not prepare these medicines first... But no one expected to rush to the third level of the entrance so soon. Fang Buping didn't dare to think about it, otherwise they would have been searched out...

"It's okay to have these. They'll last you a few days. Use them first. You can go to distant towns to help me look for them. It doesn't matter how many days it takes." Zhao Changhe sighed: "She said, don't be impatient when practicing. I I’ve been a little anxious these days.”

The gangsters peeked at the village leader with strange expressions, saying that the man who ran away from his wife was so pitiful, and they still kept talking to him after several days.

Zhao Changhe knew what these guys were thinking, and he had no intention of defending himself. It couldn't be said that your wife Yazhai at that time was Yue Hongling, and she would leave naturally after the matter was done? What a fool.

He picked up the medicine and silently went back to the house to prepare the mixture and let others tell him.

It feels like every separation can make people grow up a little.

In fact, after the Chinese New Year, I am already one year older and twenty...

I always feel that the few months that have passed in this world have made people grow up faster than in previous years. Is this the so-called time in the world that makes people grow old

Zhao Changhe looked at the steam on the medicine jar and suddenly laughed.

… …

"Your practice has been relatively quiet these days. You are not jumping around like a rabbit like before." Cui Yuanyong looked at his sister with a sigh: "If you could calm down and study hard, how could you still be doing it now?" Only a second-level entrance hall? You should be the most qualified genius in our family. It's a pity to waste your talent like this."

"Okay, okay, from when I was a child, I can still hear the calluses in my ears. As long as you practice well, why should I practice? It's hard, tiring and boring."

"If you are content with being a poet and scholar like other girls, it doesn't matter if you marry a good family in the future. But you also want to catch thieves and think bounty hunting is interesting, but you don't work hard... This is not appropriate. court death?"

"Who in the world dares to touch the Cui family?"

"In troubled times, the name of the Cui family may not be useful everywhere. If nothing else, the Four Symbol Cult would like to kill a Cui family member to sacrifice the flag... not to mention that father and brother cannot protect you for the rest of your life." Cui Yuanyong sighed. : "You're already a teenager, it's time to grow up."

"My birthday is at the end of the year! It's early!"

"Okay, okay." Cui Yuanyong had nothing to do with his sister. He shook his head and handed over a pill: "Your progress in the past few days is acceptable. If you can do this, you should be able to break through in another ten days. There is no need to wait for two months. This is the Qingxuan Pill. If you take it at that time, you can definitely break through the barrier."

"Stingy, just one?"

"Okay, okay, I'll give you three pills." Cui Yuanyong sighed again: "People are miserable and dissatisfied... Zhao Changhe sent people to buy medicine in the city, and they only got the low-end medicinal materials. You are sitting on the high-grade elixir. It’s not enough.”

"Why is he buying medicine? Is he sick?"

"If I'm not wrong, he is also seeking to break through the third heaven." Cui Yuanyong looked at his sister meaningfully: "He has been practicing martial arts for about three months, relying on the things in the cottage, and he once even lost a piece of meat. Everyone has to fight for it.”

The girl's eyes widened: "Impossible! I will be faster than him this time!"
