"This..." As a disciple of an aristocratic family, Kang Shuli naturally knew this truth. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Can I use my Kang family's unique mental skills in exchange? You must know that my Kang family's martial arts are among the best among the islands.
Yes, only the Long family can be better than my family."
When Murong Fu saw his eyes dodge, he immediately understood and said with a half-smile, "Is it true?"
Kang Shuli's face turned slightly red, "Really, look!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, gathered a force in his palm, and swung it out violently. There was a "bang" sound, and a stone bench in the courtyard fell apart.
Murong Fu was slightly startled, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. On the surface, although Kang Shuli was full of energy, he was only an upper-class person. However, the power of this palm just now seemed to be something that only a top master could achieve.
.
"Well, I didn't lie to you!" Kang Shuli glanced at Murong Fu proudly and said.
"It is indeed very powerful," Murong Fu nodded and took a deep look at Kang Shuli. He actually couldn't tell whether this man's moves were mysterious, or whether his strong inner strength was partially concealed.
"Can I change it?" Kang Shuli blinked and looked at Murong Fu expectantly.
Murong Fu secretly smiled bitterly. With his current perspective, only the Taixuan Sutra in the entire Xiake Island could catch his eye. Even though the Kang family's martial arts were somewhat mysterious, they did not arouse much interest.
When Kang Shuli saw that Murong Fu didn't reply, he became anxious and said, "Otherwise, I will add this thing again!"
As he spoke, he took out a light red jade bottle from his arms. Like some rare treasure, he held it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it gently.
"What is this?" Murong Fu looked at it curiously. This jade bottle alone gave him a rather extraordinary feeling. It was crystal clear and had a faint halo flowing around it.
Kang Shuli looked at the vial blankly, and after a long while he sighed and said, "This is an ancestral item of my Kang family. It is called the 'Blue Blood Pill'. Only those who have been selected as Blood Sword Guards in the past are eligible to receive it."
Pill, this is already the last Blue Blood Pill of the Kang family."
"What's the effect?" Murong Fu asked doubtfully, resisting the urge to snatch it away.
"After taking it, it refines the blood and cuts the marrow, removing the waste and retaining the essence." Kang Shuli explained briefly, hesitated slightly, and then said, "This product is very effective for martial arts practitioners, whether it is healing or practicing.
It is extremely precious, I would like to use it in exchange for Brother Murong's teachings, what do you think?"
Murong Fu's eyes flashed. Although Kang Shuli said it very simply, he knew that the elixir that could directly make people refine blood and cut marrow was tantamount to a treasure from heaven and earth, and his Marrow Cleansing Sutra was already close to completion.
, but it’s just a little bit off, and I can’t make a breakthrough no matter what. If this medicine helps, I might be able to make it.
"Okay, I'll change it!" Thinking of the benefits of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, Murong Fu immediately agreed.
Kang Shuli was slightly overjoyed. Although the Blue Blood Pill was extremely precious, it would be worthwhile if he could avoid the Blood Sword Guard's selection. He immediately handed over the jade bottle.
Murong Fu took the jade bottle and couldn't wait to open it, but Kang Shuli hurriedly said, "No!"
"Huh?" Murong Fu was slightly stunned, wondering if I can't inspect the goods?
Kang Shuli looked solemn, "This elixir relies on this jade bottle to maintain its medicinal properties. It is usually taken immediately after opening. If Brother Murong does not want the medicinal properties to be lost, it is best to open the bottle before retreating."
Murong Fu originally thought that Kang Shuli was deceiving him, but when he lowered his head and looked at the mouth of the bottle, he saw that there was indeed a layer of something that looked like wax but not wax, sealing the entire bottle cap, and he was relieved.
"Forget it, then I will teach you a mental technique first. You can pretend that your meridians are retrograde and you are possessed. I believe that in this case, you will not be selected again, right?"
"Retrograde meridians?" Kang Shuli looked a little confused. Although he didn't like to practice martial arts, he still knew some common sense about martial arts. After the meridians went retrograde, it was no longer a disguise, but a real obsession.
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you learn my method, you can reverse the meridians in a short period of time, and your meridians will be safe, and it will be difficult for others to notice. I think Brother Kang's wit will be enough to deal with it, right?"
Unexpectedly, Kang Shuli's face turned bitter, "It won't be possible in a short time. Not only do I have to deal with those Blood Sword Users, but I also have to deal with the people of the Kang Mansion."
"Blood Sword Guard?" Murong Fu was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized that he must be the ones who selected the Blood Sword Guards. However, he had to admit that he had a high opinion of Kang Shuli, and he said in a bad mood, "
Brother Kang, won't you be more flexible and pretend to be crazy, and then use the method I taught you when someone wants to check your body?"
When Kang Shuli heard this, he clapped his hands suddenly, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
"If you can think of it, you probably won't have to participate in the selection of Blood Sword Guards." Murong Fu muttered to himself, but said with a smile, "In that case, I will pass on Brother Kang's mind. Listen carefully, I just
Pass it on once."
After saying that, he taught Kang Shuli some of the key points of retrograde meridians in the Nine Yin Manual of Reverse Refining.
Speaking of the Nine Yin Manual of Counter-Refining, he had studied it after he got it from Ouyang Feng, but he never had time to practice it, so he put it aside. Now it can perfectly solve Kang Shuli's problem.
Murong Fu had just finished teaching the inner method, but found that Kang Shuli's face had turned pale, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he looked out of breath.
Murong Fu was shocked, this child was really crazy, right? He was about to take any action, but found that Kang Shuli's face turned sharply, a big blush emerged, the paleness faded quickly, the sweat on his forehead evaporated, and his blinking resumed.
Normal appearance.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, suddenly thinking of some possibility, he couldn't help but feel horrified, this kid's talent must be too high!
"Brother Murong, the mental method you taught me really worked. As soon as I started using it, I felt like I was about to ascend to immortality. My body was light and airy, as if I had been possessed by a demon, but my meridians were intact." Kang Shuli said.
He said happily, "Remove the power."
Murong Fu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. After a long while, he forced a smile and said, "As long as it works, it will be good."
There was no need to break his leg or join the Blood Sword Guard. The gloom in Kang Shuli's heart disappeared, and the joy on his face could not be concealed. He kept using the "Retrograde Meridian Key" and it quickly dissipated.
"Is it true that reverse refining the Nine Yin Scriptures is enough?" Murong Fu couldn't help but think so, and then he shook his head in a funny way, said, "Brother Kang, it's a good time to practice," and left.
Kang Shuli was so immersed in his retrograde meridians that he didn't notice Murong Fu leaving.
Back in the front hall, Kang Shuyan was already waiting here, "Brother Murong, my second brother didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
Murong Fu frowned slightly and then relaxed. How could the movements in the Kang family escape the eyes of the head of the Kang family? He smiled and said, "Brother Kang, you are worrying too much. The second young master Kang is smart, smart and funny.
How can I cause trouble to you?"
"Really, that's good, that's good." Kang Shuyan seemed to be relieved, and then said, "The banquet has been prepared. If you'd like, please move to the side hall. We won't return until we get drunk."
"No, no, no," Murong Fu waved his hands repeatedly, "I have to rush to Xia Ke Island today. It's not advisable to drink too much. If you don't get drunk and don't come back, let's wait until next time."
Kang Shuyan knew that Murong Fu and others were going to Xiake Island, so he didn't say much. He just gave Murong Fu a meaningful look and said, "Well, the days are long. Brother Murong can't refuse next time!"
Murong Fu nodded indifferently, thinking, "If you don't become an enemy, you can drink as much as you want. If unfortunately you become an enemy, then you will have to consider yourself unlucky."
The group of people quickly sat down at the table, and Kang Shuyan was true to his words. He prepared a large table of wine and food in a very luxurious manner, including various specialties and game only available on Yuanke Island, as well as the Kang family's treasures. They were all brought to the table one after another, making everyone very satisfied.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Murong Fu was greedy for food and drink, and he did not have the slightest awareness of the superiority of his sect.
During the dinner, Kang Shuyan also continued to show courtesy to Zhou Zhiruo and frequently brought up the subject of marriage. However, Zhou Zhiruo's face was as cold as ever. When asked about marriage, she just said lightly, "I have a fiancé."
A chill flashed deep in Kang Shuyan's eyes, but he knew it was interesting and didn't mention it again.
Everyone had a great time eating, but Kang Shuyan was the only one sitting at the table in such a large Kang mansion, so they always felt that something was missing.
After the meal, Kang Shuyan called the butler and said to Murong Fu with a hint of guilt, "Brother Murong, I was supposed to send you all to Xia Ke Island in person, but the clan is busy with trivial matters and I really can't get away, so I can only let the butler do it for me.
I’m really sorry.”
Murong Fu naturally had no objection to this, as long as he could get to Xia Ke Island, he immediately said, "Brother Kang has helped us enough, how can I start with apologizing? It's true that we have caused a lot of trouble to the Kang family."
."
The two chatted for a while, and Kang Shuyan sent Murong Fu and others to the Yuanke Island Pier and watched them board the boat and leave.
Watching the golden ship go further and further away, Kang Shuyan's face gradually darkened, and he suddenly turned his head away, seeming to say to himself, "Have you found it?"
But the next moment, a few feet away from him, where there was nothing there, there was a soft "pop" sound, and a man in black appeared out of thin air. The man bowed and said, "I found it, Second Young Master."
Give the Blue Blood Pill to Murong Fu..."
"What!" Before he finished speaking, Kang Shuyan suddenly interrupted, "He actually gave the Blue Blood Pill to the flower-picking thief?"
Seeing Kang Shuyan's ferocious expression, the man in black trembled slightly, but still said, "Yes, Murong Fu seems to have taught the second young master some tricks that can make people enter a state of obsession for a short time. I think the second young master is really unwilling to do so.
Participate in the selection of Blood Sword Guards."
"Hmph, what does he know?" Kang Shuyan's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears. "The previous Blood Sword Guards were just fine, but this time's Blood Sword Guards have to be chosen. They are really a prodigal, and they gave away the Blue Blood Pill for nothing.
