Boom!
Black Ape flicked the horns on Zhang Xiaopou's head with his fingers, and replied to Niu Dawa: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. It's called the horns on the head. You can tell it's very powerful just by looking at it."
"..." Niu Dawa opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Hei Yuan put Zhang Xiaopou aside, glanced at Niu Dawa and the others with evil intentions, and asked, "Who's coming next?"
Niu Dawa and the others backed away in fright, shaking their heads like rattles.
"Maybe he can grow a pair of wings and walk on the street in a majestic way!" Black Ape said seductively.
Niu Dawa twitched the corner of her mouth: "I'm just afraid of growing a pair of chicken wings."
Seeing that Niu Dawa and the others were not fooled, Black Ape had no choice but to give up and return his gaze to the horns of Zhang Xiaopou's head, frowning and lost in thought.
It was trying to recall whether that man had ever said anything about the horns on his head, but it had been so long ago that it was difficult to recall.
Everyone felt that Zhang Xiaozu's breath was stable, and the anxiety and worry in their hearts eased a little. They knew that it was obviously impossible to know from the black ape why Zhang Xiaozu had horns. They could only wait for Zhang Xiaozu to wake up and ask him.
myself.
Su Hanlin and others, who were watching curiously from high in the sky, had their eyes opened. For the first time, they knew that horns can grow on the top of human heads.
More than an hour passed before Zhang Xiaozu opened his eyes and woke up.
"Boy, what's going on with the horn on your head?" Seeing Zhang Xiaozu wake up, Black Ape immediately asked with curiosity, and even raised his hand to flick Zhang Xiaozu's horn.
It never remembered whether the man had ever told it what the horns on its head were.
"I... damn, what's going on?!" Zhang Xiaozhu raised his hand and touched the corner of his head. After being stunned for a moment, he jumped up from the ground.
Obviously, he didn't know what the horns on his head were.
He observed the horns on the top of his head with a subtle state of mind, and immediately asked the black ape with a grimace: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
"The horns grow on your head, but they don't grow on my head. How can I know what's going on?" Black Ape replied irresponsibly.
"I..." Zhang Xiaozu was about to cry but had no tears.
"Pawn, apart from growing a horn, have you had any other changes in your body?" Niu Dawa asked.
"I gained a powerful force." Zhang Xiaozu replied, "To be precise, it's strength, physical strength."
As he spoke, he stepped towards the alchemy furnace, raised his hand and flicked his finger at the alchemy furnace.
when!
The alchemy furnace actually lifted off the ground and flew out, flying straight for a distance of five to six feet before landing with a thud.
"I only used less than half of my strength. I didn't use force gate or other powers. I just used pure physical strength. If I hit it with all my strength, I should be able to fly the alchemy furnace twenty feet away." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Niu Dawa and others were speechless and shocked when they heard this.
They had a rough idea of the weight of this alchemy furnace. It weighed at least five thousand kilograms. Zhang Xiaozu was able to eject a five thousand kilogram object twenty feet away with just a flick of his finger. This strength almost matched his ability.
The power of the Nine Heavens Realm.
"I feel that this body quenching is to strengthen the abilities obtained in the first body quenching, making it undergo a qualitative change.
The strange thing is that this force is not a law of power, but a simple force.
Well, how should I put it?"
Zhang Xiaozu frowned and pondered for a moment, thought of a word in his mind, and then said: "This is the primitive power of nature, yes, it is the primitive power of nature."
"Then what's going on with the horn on top of your head? Is it possible that, as I guessed, you're going to transform into a dragon and ascend?" Black Ape was only curious about the horn on Zhang Xiaozu's head.
It is not surprising at all that Zhang Xiaozu's strength has increased, because that is the normal effect of the second body tempering.
"This horn..." Zhang Xiaozu raised his hand and touched the corner of his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I don't know exactly what it is, but I feel it has nothing to do with body tempering. It may be caused by my cultivation method.
"
While he was quenching his body in the alchemy furnace, a large amount of spiritual power kept converging on his head, making him feel as if he was trying to break through the last battle gate, but failed.
He guessed that this flesh horn might be caused by the accumulation of spiritual power, but he could not feel the spiritual power contained in the flesh horn, so he was not sure what this flesh horn was for the moment.
"Sister, if I had horns on my head, a pair of chicken wings on my back, or a tail on the back of my butt, would you dislike me?" Niu Dawa asked, grabbing Jin Zhihui's hand.
.
After learning that Zhang Xiaozu's strength had increased after tempering his body, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Zhou Jianlai and everyone else were also excited.
Jin Zhihui shook his head.
"Actually, he's pretty handsome with horns on his head." Niu Dawa comforted himself, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please help me temper my body."
"Easy to say." Hei Yuan agreed happily, looking forward to what Niu Dawa would grow after tempering his body.
Zhang Xiaozu found something to collect the remaining residue in the furnace, and then cleaned the alchemy furnace.
"Wow, it feels so comfortable!" Niu Dawa moaned comfortably in the hot alchemy furnace.
The unbearable high temperature for Zhang Xiaozu was like taking a hot bath, scalding and very comfortable.
As the alchemy furnace bloomed, auspicious beasts galloped and danced, auspicious colors fell from the sky, and Niu Dawa became quiet.
"It's done!"
When Ruicai and others disappeared, Black Ape couldn't wait to open the furnace lid and looked into the alchemy furnace, with a disappointed expression on his face.
It saw that Niu Dawa had neither horns, wings, nor a tail, nor any strange things growing on it, and it immediately felt bored.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, I'd like you to temper your body." Zhou Jianlai stepped forward and said.
Although Black Ape found it boring, he did not shirk it.
Su Hanlin fell from the sky, called Zhang Xiaopeng into the room, and asked straight to the point: "Can you show me the recipe for body tempering?"
Zhang Xiaozhu did not refuse, took out the recipe from Xumi Mustard Seeds and handed it to Su Hanlin generously.
Because Black Ape did not do anything to hide it when he put the body-tempering spiritual materials into the alchemy furnace, so even if Su Hanlin didn't ask him for a prescription, he could still write the prescription based on the spiritual materials that Black Ape put in.
After Su Hanlin read it, he couldn't help but frowned, returned the prescription to Zhang Xiaozu and said, "You are really rich."
"It's not bad, thanks to the heroes from all over Jiuzhou and the Shen family for supporting me." Zhang Xiaozu said with a smile.
"Oh, I made you a fortune." Su Hanlin laughed dumbly.
Then he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The emperor plans to select a hundred top young talents from all over the country every year, temper their bodies, and cultivate talents for the empire. What do you think?"
The implication was to ask Zhang Xiaozu if he could help with this.
"The alchemy furnace belongs to Black Ape. I can't guarantee it. That guy is moody and he might take the alchemy furnace away at any time." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
"Indeed, I was severely beaten by it today. It was fine at first, but I don't know why it suddenly went crazy today and fell out of favor at any time." Su Hanlin nodded with deep understanding.
Zhang Xiaozhu lowered his head guiltily, not daring to meet Su Hanlin's eyes.
"Perhaps we can buy the alchemy furnace from it," Su Hanlin said.
"Your Majesty, you can ask me."
"This monkey is very smart. If he learns that the emperor wants to buy his alchemy furnace, he will definitely ask for a sky-high price. The empire's financial resources are extremely tight at the moment. Let's wait and see in two years."
"If you have spiritual materials and talents, you can send them to Guowei Mansion and you will help them temper their bodies.
However, this second body tempering must be based on the first body tempering, and without strong cultivation and willpower, it may be difficult to withstand the pain of body tempering and the impact of spiritual power during the body tempering process."
Su Hanlin nodded. He knew about the first body tempering process, so he didn't ask again. Instead, he changed the subject and asked: "How is half of your bandit group organized?"
"This..." Zhang Xiaozu was stopped by Su Hanlin's sudden question. The emperor was concerned about the bandits, and he knew he had bad intentions as soon as he heard it.
"The national power is extremely tight, and we need some windfall assistance. Currently, thirty colleges are preparing for construction, which has suddenly emptied the national treasury." Su Hanlin sighed.
"Aren't there some heroes from Tianlang Mountain? You can discuss it with them." Zhang Xiaozu thought of the big bandits from Tianlang Mountain in the south.
"They have gone out to work long ago, otherwise you would think that the empire would have so much financial and material resources to support this huge reform."
"As you know, there are only five of us in total right now, and I'm afraid we are too ambitious but not strong enough." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong with the five of you? The five of you can defeat the 300,000 bandits in Tianlang Mountain. After the Shen family's matter is settled, go out and do something. According to the latest laws of the empire, the bandits also have to pay taxes.
of."
"..."
"What, is there a problem?" Su Hanlin asked with raised eyebrows.
"It's all up to you."
Su Hanlin nodded with satisfaction, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "The saints from the world are coming soon, and the Shen family has also issued a hunting order against the Da Su Empire. I hope God bless Da Su and let us fight this tough battle.
.”
"Is it finally here?" Zhang Xiaozhu's heart suddenly tightened.
"Yes, it's finally here!" Su Hanlin's eyes were bright and full of fighting spirit.
"It was the last general who caused trouble for Da Su." Zhang Xiaozu apologized.
"It has nothing to do with you. Without you, I would still have this battle with them. They are the heaven of Jiuzhou, and what I do is against this heaven. Do you think they will make it easier for me?"
Su Hanlin patted Zhang Xiaopou's shoulder, then stood up and left.
With the war approaching, Zhang Xiaozu felt a little heavy, so he left the yard and went to the ancestral hall.
The old slave guarding the ancestral hall had already gone to bed, and the ancestral hall was dark and silent.
As soon as Zhang Xiaozu opened the door and walked into the ancestral hall, he stared at the altar table and frowned.
The darkness in the room could not block his sight, and he clearly saw that the butcher's soul lamp on the altar table was missing.
Suddenly, a ray of fire lit up inside the ancestral hall, and then an old man walked out from behind with an oil lamp in his hand.
Shh!
The old man made a silencing gesture to Zhang Xiaozu.
