Meng Xiang held the fire spirit bead in one hand and a blood-red round bead with the other hand, and a sudden look appeared in his eyes: No wonder Shi Zhutian said that he could sense the fire spirit bead was on him. It turned out that he was using the help of this round bead.

The round beads are only the size of an egg, with a fine texture, somewhat like jade, but also appear coarse than jade. If you are a person who doesn't know anything, you will only treat it as a ball made of defective jade.

At first, Meng Xiang thought so, but when he approached it, it changed strangely, not only the color became extremely bright red, but also had a bright luster. The closer it was to the Fire Spirit Bead, the darker the color and the higher the brightness. On the contrary, the farther the distance, the lighter the color and brightness.

Meng Xiang tried it and found that the round bead had sensed to the Fire Spirit Bead by 200 feet. After more than 200 feet, it had no response at all. It looked just a white, dull little round bead.

At this time, Meng Xiang could roughly infer that Shi Zhutian's rough process of finding him: either in Guyang City or at the gate of Guyang City, he sensed the existence of the Fire Spirit Pearl through the round bead, and then confirmed that the Fire Spirit Pearl was on him. Then he stopped him in a remote place and prepared to snatch the Fire Spirit Pearl by force. As a result, the Fire Spirit Pearl did not snatch it, but instead lost his life.

For a moment, Meng Xiang could not speculate on the function of the round bead, but he decided to keep it, at least there was no lamp oil, which could be used for lighting.

After returning to Longzhao Beach, Yan Shi was very excited. He first kept spinning around him until he was sure that there were no parts on his body, and he completely relieved. However, he quickly asked endless questions about all kinds of experiences after going to Guyang City.

Meng Xiang did not hide it and told him what happened in Guyang City. However, he did not say a word about some things like him killing people and catching treasures and killing Shi Zhutian. Even so, Yan Shi's face turned red, especially when he knew that the entire Huang family was burned, he even shouted that he was happy.

After resting for a night, after breakfast the next day, Meng Xiang found Yan Shi and told him his plan, saying that he had obtained a martial arts secret book in Guyang City. After practicing, he could be strong and physically strong, tearing a tiger and breaking a bear.

In fact, the so-called martial arts secret is a kind of body refining technique he practiced in his previous life. It is very ordinary. Almost half of the residents living in Tiemu City have practiced this technique as long as they are men.

The name sounds quite majestic, called "Copper Skin and Iron Bone Kung Fu". It is said that when you practice to the extreme, your skin is as thick as copper, your bones are as iron, and it is difficult to hurt your sword. However, there are not many people who can practice to the extreme.

The process of cultivation is quite painful and requires various blows. First, you use various sticks made of wood to hit the body. After you have a certain level of skill, you will continue to hit it with an iron stick. If you can withstand the piercing of the iron sharp weapon, it will be a small success.

Regardless of the pain you need to endure during the cultivation process, it will cause great harm to the body. Even in the process of tempering the body, there will be many dangers. Skin ulceration is still a small matter. Once an internal organ is damaged and internal injuries are caused, it is really dangerous. In places like Tiemucheng, once a person loses his ability to work, he will often be able to starve to death unless someone provides for it.

There is another more important reason why people are unwilling to practice it all the time, because its cultivation effect is too poor. A slightly more advanced technique can be as effective as it for several days after practicing for a day, and it is not as harmful to the body.

Therefore, only the poor at the bottom of society can practice it, because it is the cheapest and can be bought for a meal, which is almost a free gift, and is essentially different from those advanced techniques that can often cost thousands of taels of silver per copy.

This is not to say that the managers of Tiemu City are kind-hearted. In extremely realistic and cruel places like Tiemu City, kindness is too rare. The reason why the managers of Tiemu City are willing to provide "Copper Skin and Iron Bone" to residents living in Tiemu City at a price that is almost free of charge is completely unwilling to do it.

Meng Xiang was originally in a difficult situation with the living conditions of Dragon Claw Beach. When encountering some bad years and cold winters, people will starve and freeze to death. However, compared with Tiemu City, it can be considered a paradise. In Tiemu City, people who die every day can definitely be included in the top three.

Of course, that is for those poor people who are not capable and struggle at the bottom. If you are strong enough, Ironwood City is paradise, you can find the most beautiful women, taste the most delicious food, drink the most vigorous wine, and get the sharpest sword...

If you don’t have a certain strength in Tiemu City, as long as you leave Tiemu City and escape the protection of Tiemu City barrier, even if you don’t encounter all kinds of terrible beasts, ferocious beasts and monsters, it will not be easy to survive alone. Regardless of the other thing, it is the black wind that blew from time to time. If the resistance is not strong, it will tear the skin apart. Once the black wind invades the body, even if someone helps it, it will be a life-threatening death.

Even in Tiemu City, complete safety cannot be ensured. Except for the core area of ​​Tiemu, which supports the entire city, the living environment in other places is not particularly superior. The one that bothers people the most is a kind of bug - a mosquito.

It is called a stinger mosquito, which is very different from ordinary mosquitoes. Not only is it two or three times larger in size, but it is also very toxic. Once you are bitten, a red bump as big as an egg appears. In addition to the scorching pain, it is also accompanied by a strange itch, which is unbearable. Some people with poor resistance will even fall ill due to this, and in severe cases, they may even lose their lives.

The senior management of Ironwood City distributed "Copper and Iron Bone Kung Fu" at a price that is almost free to deal with the black wind outside the city and the stinger mosquitoes in the city. Although these two things are a big trouble for ordinary people, only by being able to practice "Copper and Iron Bone Kung Fu" to a certain level can you basically ignore them.

Yan Shi read the handwritten and copied "Copper and Iron Bone" by Meng Xiang, and was very excited and couldn't wait to practice, but Meng Xiang stopped him.

The experience of his previous life and the old man's teachings told him that he must be fully prepared for everything he does so that he can achieve twice the result with half the effort, otherwise, he will definitely achieve half the result with twice the effort.

Speaking of preparation, we have to mention another criticized part of "Copper and Iron Bone" that consumes a lot of resources. Not to mention anything else, as long as a person starts practicing, his appetite will suddenly increase many times, and his stomach seems to have become a bottomless pit, which cannot be filled no matter how much.

However, after Meng Xiang explained the reason to Yan Shi, their first thing was not to prepare food, but to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Although the mysterious middle-aged man who gave him the prescription did not specify the effect of the prescription, he could still guess from its name. As the name suggests, the main function of the hair-pulling and marrow-cleaning soup should be to improve physical fitness.

If his guess is correct, the effect of the medicine soup, coupled with "Copper Skin and Iron Bone", or even the effect of the leakless real body, can achieve good results in a relatively short period of time, improve strength, and increase the capital for survival.

When the time comes, the golden seed grew into a giant vine. After they climbed along him to another world, they would not have lived as hard as his previous life. They could only struggle hard at the bottom, do the dirtiest, tiring and dangerous work, but live the worst life.

Although the mysterious middle-aged man gave Meng Xiang only the name of the medicinal material on it and there were no graphics or specific introductions of the medicinal material, it was not difficult for him, which was naturally due to his experience in his previous life.

At that time, he worked hard to survive, and his main job was to hunt various wild beasts outside the Tiemu City. Natural ferocious beasts and monsters were afraid to touch, although their value was dozens or hundreds of times higher than the former, or even more.

It is naturally impossible to avoid being injured when hunting, but the so-called doctors in Tiemu City are all veritable vampires. As long as you go to find them, no matter how small the injured one is, they will suck blood dry. If they do not squeeze the last copper plate in the patient's pocket, they will not let anyone go no matter what.

Therefore, people living in Tiemu City dare not get sick at all. Regardless of whether they can be cured in the end, even if they are cured, the whole family can only drink the northwest wind.

But you can't leave it alone if you are sick. Of course, some minor illnesses and people with better physical fitness can survive. Unfortunately, not everyone has such good luck, so the disease still needs to be treated. Naturally, it's not about finding those unscrupulous doctors to treat it.

For thousands of years, those poor people who have no money to cure diseases have paid various prices, even after their lives, and have made them summarize many so-called folk remedies. Although not all of them are useful, they have actually saved many lives.

Once, out of kindness, Meng Xiang helped a barefoot doctor who relied on folk remedies to treat people. In return, he allowed him to stay by his side for the first half of the year and he did not teach him anything, but no matter what disease he cured, he could stay by his side. As for how much he could learn, it depends on his ability.

Half a year, whether it is long or short, he knew that the opportunity was rare, and he studied hard within half a year. When he had to leave the barefoot doctor, some common problems were basically impossible to deal with. However, what made him feel that the biggest gain was that he had learned a lot of herbs, their medicinal properties and approximate effects.

Since then, after he left the city, in addition to hunting, he would also collect some medicinal materials and sell those unscrupulous doctors and equally unscrupulous pharmacies. Although the price is very low, it is still an income. It is precisely because of this extra income that he saved enough tuition fees for studying in the ancient arts museum.

Meng Xiang carefully studied the prescription that recorded the Maozhuxie Decoction and found that the medicinal materials on it were not very rare. There were thirty-six medicinal materials in total. Except for five or six more precious, the others were still ordinary.

What’s more important is that he knows all other medicinal herbs except the three types, and at least he won’t miss them after seeing them.

Originally, he was still worried about the three medicinal herbs he didn't know, but later he received a strict reminder. They found Mr. Li. He had been an apprentice in a clinic in Guyang City for ten years, but was later fired for some reason and returned to his hometown, Longzhaotan. The villagers usually went to him if they had any headaches and fever.
