019 Blood Elixir(1/2)
"So far, no one can tell how many types of hunter breathing techniques there are. Everyone knows it differently. If you want to learn other breathing techniques, you usually find other exotic beast hunters to exchange." Baron said, stroking his beard.
“Has no one integrated all the breathing techniques?”
Zhou Jing couldn't help asking questions.
Hearing this, Balon shook his head and explained:
"The Empire of Terra has been trying, but the Hunter Breathing Technique is not that easy to learn, and it is even more difficult to master. Most people cannot practice it just by relying on written records, so most of the time it needs to be taught by hunters who have already mastered it.
But... a person's energy is limited. Generally, after learning two or three kinds of breathing techniques, you will no longer have the energy to practice new ones. Take me for example, it took me nearly fourteen years to truly master two techniques.
A breathing technique can be used skillfully. An unskilled breathing technique will not only be useless in combat, but may also disrupt one's own fighting rhythm. After all, only one breathing technique can be used at the same time.
Therefore, hunters of exotic beasts usually choose the breathing technique that suits them based on their own strengthening direction, and then find a hunter who understands it to learn it, and rely on the two or three breathing techniques they choose to hunt."
Zhou Jing nodded, probably understanding.
The enhancement of alien blood brings extraordinary power, and the Hunter Breathing Technique is a technique for hunters to better utilize this power, similar to combat skills.
There are many types of hunter breathing techniques, but due to limitations in learning ability and qualifications, exotic beast hunters all take the route of focusing on more skills and less money.
At this time, Balon put his clothes back on and said:
"When you learn this breathing technique, use it to exercise. When your body becomes stronger, you can accept the strengthening of the alien blood... It will take about two or three years."
"So long?" Zhou Jing was slightly startled.
"How long has it been?!" Balon glared and said seriously: "Do you think the Hunter's Breathing Technique is easy to master? Do you think it will take effect immediately? The training of an alien hunter is something that takes many years, no matter it's windy or rainy.
Snow, you have to practice hard every day and make progress by accumulating little things, so that you can slowly become stronger...even with your physical talent!"
Having said this, he suddenly paused, as if he felt a little harsh, so he slowed down his tone and said seriously:
"I know that you are eager for revenge against the Earth Bone Man. You need to be fully prepared before you can be strengthened by the alien blood. Otherwise, even with a body like yours, you may die suddenly during the strengthening. You have to be patient."
"Okay."
Zhou Jing didn't comment and made calculations secretly.
Judging from the current time flow rate difference, one day in the main world is approximately equal to one month in the alien world, and three years in the alien world... that is more than one month in the main world.
He has not forgotten that his goal is to clear an apostle in the main world within two months. Although he wants to develop it now, he does not plan to take that long.
'But with the practice acceleration function, this time should be shortened significantly. It won't take so much time... I just don't know how much it can be shortened.'
Zhou Jing thought about it secretly.
He didn't dwell on this issue, he would figure it out once he started practicing. At this time, he would know more about the details of the strange blood enhancement.
When the last apostle and Balon got along, Balon avoided talking about this question, but now he could ask further.
The world of alien beasts is still relatively primitive and ancient. It is not the Internet era with information explosion. Some remote villages may not know the name of the king, so Zhou Jing can feel free to ask for some information.
He carefully considered his words and asked his question about the strange blood potion. This time, Baron answered, explaining the situation of the strange blood potion in detail.
When a person drinks a different blood medicine, the effect of the medicine is released in the body, and the body will quickly strengthen. This is a painful process.
Three situations will occur at this time.
The first one is naturally to strengthen successfully, and then become a different-blood warrior and gain stable extraordinary power.
The latter two are both failures, but the form of failure is different.
One died suddenly on the spot, ascended to heaven on the spot, and was directly sent to the crematorium.
The other is "false success". It seems that you have gained strength through strengthening, but in the next few hours or days, you will experience a lot of uncomfortable symptoms, such as rejection and gene collapse, and the final result is still violent.
Death is just a matter of living a few more days, giving hope and despair.
Because the raw materials of the exotic blood medicine are different exotic animals, they have different strengthening directions according to the characteristics of the raw materials, such as strength, agility, defense, etc.
But the effect can only strengthen the body, and cannot obtain the special abilities of alien beasts such as electric discharge and fire. The effect of alien blood potions made from such alien beasts is only to enhance resistance to electric shock and fire.
"During the tribal era, there were many alien blood pharmacists trying to confer the strange abilities of alien beasts to humans through alien blood enhancement. After the establishment of the Terra Empire, it is said that many master-level alien blood pharmacists were summoned to study together.
But until today, I haven’t heard of any results.”
Baron sounded a little regretful.
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, and asked: "In this world, besides the different blood potion, are there any other ways to obtain extraordinary power?"
"Then I haven't heard of it." Baron scratched his bald head.
Zhou Jing exhaled a breath.
Well, it seems that alien blood enhancement is still the only target at the moment. Listening to this introduction, it turns out that it is a pure physical enhancement ability. Don’t even think about injecting some energy...
Zhou Jing thought for a while and asked: "How can I get the strange blood potion? Do I need to spend money to buy it?"
"You can spend money, or you don't have to spend money." Balon's answer was a bit unexpected.
Zhou Jing was stunned when he heard this.
What do you mean, are you planning to take me shopping for zero yuan?
We don't mind, anyway, if you die, you can open the next one, but you should think twice before you act...
At this time, Baron explained in a loud voice:
"Each tribe has its own hunter workshop, which is used to process exotic beast materials and make various weapons or exotic blood potions. After the establishment of the empire, workshops were opened in various towns to recycle exotic beast materials, so alien beasts
Hunters will sell the exotic beasts they hunt to workshops in exchange for some money.
The products made by the workshops using these materials are all sold, including exotic blood potions.
But if exotic beast hunters need it, the workshop can also give away exotic blood potions for free."
Zhou Jing blinked, a little confused.
Send it directly? Isn’t this a loss-making transaction?
Moreover, with the efficiency of information exchange in this era, it is easy to take advantage of loopholes. As long as an alien hunter changes to a different town, wouldn't it be easy to collect a lot of free alien blood potions?
Seemingly seeing Zhou Jing's doubts, Baron laughed and explained:
"Of course there are conditions. The number of times the workshop can give away potions is the same as the number of times the hunter submits and sells exotic beast materials in this workshop."
"I see……"
Zhou Jing understood immediately.
If a hunter submits or sells a hunted exotic beast to a workshop in a certain town, then it will be recorded in the workshop, and he will get a chance to receive a potion as a gift, and this will continue to accumulate.
But changing to another town won't work. Workshop records in different regions are not interoperable. Hunters have to "start over" when they go to another region.
Therefore, exotic beast hunters tend to stay around a certain town and do not easily change places.
‘This may be a means of competition between various towns and workshops. In this way, they try to encourage the exotic beast hunters to stay here and continue to bring exotic beast materials to the local workshops...Similar to a sunk cost?’
Zhou Jing's thoughts were racing.
In this era of inefficient information circulation, this is indeed a feasible solution.
Because it is impossible to ignore the spatial distance like in the information age, let the "database" of each workshop be common, and update the hunter's records in real time... so it can only be solved locally.
Moreover, the workshop does not necessarily lose money. If the processing technology is good, one alien beast may be able to produce several alien blood potions, not to mention that there are other body parts used to make equipment.
Baron stroked his beard and said with a bold smile: "I have been stationed in Frostwood Village for some years. I have submitted many hunting results to the city's workshops and saved some times to exchange for different blood potions. I have never used them. I am waiting for you to train.
It's almost done, I'll exchange it for you with a different blood potion from the workshop, no need to spend any money."
"Then I'd like to thank you first."
Zhou Jing smiled.
This was much easier than he expected. At first, he thought it would be difficult to obtain the alien blood potion.
Think about it, the main threat this world faces is alien beasts, so countries and tribes must hope that there will be more alien beast hunters and not set too high a threshold for extraordinary power... What they are afraid of is probably that ordinary people dare not use alien blood.
Potion.
But to put it this way, even though he didn't have to spend any money, he still owed Balon a favor. After all, it was the free potion quota that he had saved up.
——It is estimated that it is not only because he values my talent, but also has a little influence from "Will Wood" in it, so Baron decided to use this method to "compensate"?
Zhou Jing thought in his mind.
In this case, the current route is clear. As long as you increase the level of Hunter's Breathing Technique, you will be able to obtain extraordinary power. There is no need to worry about anything else.
At this moment, Baron suddenly changed the subject, pointed to the weapon rack at the edge of the training ground, and said:
"Let's not talk about the strengthening of the alien blood. It is still far away from you. Now what you have to consider is what weapons to practice."
"Knife."
Zhou Jing did not hesitate.
This time, among the qualifications of the Astral Apostle, [Sword Skills] is at the green level, and among the inherited abilities, there is also a hunting knife mastery.
Although Baron is good at axes, Zhou Jing has studied the panel and believes that it is more cost-effective to decide the direction of growth based on his own qualifications.
Normal people need to explore in person to know what they are good at. And through the ability profile on the panel, you can directly see what kind of talents this body has, and you can perform targeted exercises from the beginning, and your efficiency will be improved over time.
With such an advantage, it is natural to take advantage of it.
