At the Jinyiwei General Flag Guard Station, Zhang Mingtu put aside the black paste of tiger fetus ointment on hand. Half of the tiger fetus ointment wrapped in oilcloth paper was already used.
Even for a person who is accomplished in martial arts and has entered the realm of true essence, it would take at least two months to take such a large amount of tiger fetus ointment, but Zhang Mingtu only took so much in one day.
He felt a little swollen all over his body, and his limbs and bones felt full.
Zhang Mingtu knew that such a posture and state were not a good thing.
But he also knew clearly that there was not much time left for him.
Whenever he closed his eyes, a bright sword light would appear in front of Zhang Mingtu's eyes. Under the sword light, all his flesh and blood dried up and turned into white bones in the blink of an eye.
"Blood Knife Hongji!"
Zhang Mingtu said these four words gently, feeling that the unstable momentum and state around him were two points better than before.
Tiger fetus ointment is a top-notch good thing and has miraculous effects on body and bone building, but no matter how good it is, eating too much in a short period of time can cause problems.
Zhang Mingtu now eats too much, which causes the skeletal muscles to be unable to absorb, causing Qi and blood to become deficient.
The body shape of the whole person has not changed much, but in Zhang Mingtu's own spiritual induction, his whole body expanded like an inflated balloon, like a big fat man.
There is a sense of discomfort in every move.
But Zhang Mingtu didn't show much frustration on his face. Instead, he cut his hand with the long knife next to him.
A bloody mouth appeared, but it quickly recovered at an unreasonable speed.
Gluttonous method!
The most elite among the northern border troops can practice it first, and it is one of the secret traditions of the northern border.
To be precise, it is a method passed down after the founding of the Xia Dynasty.
The so-called "first to ascend" refers to the first person to ascend the city when attacking a city.
Such characters are often the most elite soldiers in the entire army and have the most courage.
Attacking a city often requires such a brave and fearless figure, who is similar to a dead soldier.
But such characters are not born. The northern border will select the best among a large number of elite soldiers, and select a group of characters with the strongest physique and courage.
Then teach them the Taotie method.
The people who went to the border to join the army were mostly from poor families and wanted to change their destiny by fighting in the army.
They don't lack courage, what they lack is sufficient strength.
However, they have not undergone enough exercise for many years, there are no top-notch medicinal supplements, and there are no methods passed down from generation to generation in the family for them to practice.
No matter how much courage they have, it is vain without strength, so in order to quickly improve their strength, they will be asked to practice the Taotie method.
The Taotie method originated from a demonic sect at the beginning of the founding of Daxia.
It does not pay attention to various requirements such as innate character and temperament. The only requirements are willpower and cultivation resources.
He swallows a large amount of cultivation resources, accumulates them crazily in his body like gluttonous food, and then uses various powerful techniques to train himself like self-mutilation.
The Taotie swallows everything. It only eats what goes in and nothing comes out.
The same goes for the Taotie method. No matter what kind of genius treasure it is, it can be swallowed and stored in the body to become its own foundation and strength.
As long as they can persevere, as long as they can survive, those who practice the Taotie method will be able to achieve rapid advancement in strength in just one or two years.
But this method also has some shortcomings.
The glutton will eat everything, and will eventually die of abdominal distension, and will be burst by the countless food and objects.
However, no matter how hard the Xiandenjun who practices the Taotie method digests and swallows the genius treasures and related spiritual objects, enough poisons will eventually accumulate in the body, and they will be unable to advance after reaching the peak of the true essence realm.
Basically, practicing these methods is a way of severing the future. Of course, for ordinary poor people, those who can reach the peak of the true energy realm can be valued even in a prefecture or a county.
That is already an existence that ordinary people need to look up to, and they don't care about the consequences.
Zhang Mingtu does not need to use such a method in his own practice, he can go more smoothly.
But with the investigation over the past few days, they were able to confirm that Blood Sword Hongji was definitely inexplicably connected to the characters in the Land of the Rising Sun.
If he didn't improve his strength by some urgent means, after the arrival of Blood Sword Hong Ji, he might not be able to dodge that sword, and would be sucked dry of all his energy and blood by that sword.
boom!
Feeling the fullness of Qi and blood in his body, Zhang Mingtu performed another set of Dragon and Tiger Fist.
The dragon-tiger outer elixir was close to his body, and the thoughts of the dragon god and tiger demon grew wantonly in his body, and then they fought madly.
Bones, tendons, and blood vessels, every place is a battlefield, destroying his body from the smallest corners.
Zhang Mingtu improves quickly enough, but his body needs relevant warmth and nourishment and cannot be too violent.
Now that time is running out, Zhang Mingtu has no choice but to find some compromise method.
The Taotie method operates naturally, and the inside of the body seems to turn into a black hole, but the bones, meridians, and flesh and blood all contain strong life essence.
When the smallest corner of the body is damaged, it will recover naturally.
The two most difficult points to grasp in the Taotie method are that the poison is difficult to digest and will eventually lead to illness over a long period of time. Even if one reaches the peak of the True Yuan realm, one's life will not be too long.
On the other hand, it is difficult to grasp the specific degree of repair. No matter what the training method is, it is impossible to damage all parts of the body. If it is damaged, even if there is a Taotie method, it is impossible to completely damage the whole body without any flaws.
Repaired.
Over time, countless hidden wounds will accumulate inside the body.
But for Zhang Mingtu, none of this is a problem.
"The Taotie method can repair the body in the most comprehensive way. As long as there is enough essence and enough genius treasures, what I am most in need of now is the essence blood of monsters and the most indispensable thing is life essence."
"On the other hand, the difficulty is how to precisely control the Taotie method to repair the bone meridians of the whole body. I have a master level experience and know all the key points of the whole body. The most difficult point is easy for me."
"As for the poison..."
With the Dragon and Tiger Waidan, combined with the Dragon and Tiger Fist, even the most powerful poison will be mobilized and then eliminated invisibly in the battle within the body.
"call!"
Feeling that the essence in his body was gradually unable to keep up with the body's recovery, Zhang Mingtu breathed out gently, took out ten jade bottles from his arms, and swallowed the essence and blood of the demon beast in the jade bottles into his belly.
If he practiced normally, these would be enough for him to practice worry-free for several months, and with a master's level of knowledge, he would consume the three most advanced magical skills among fellow practitioners.
But now, with the operation of the Taotie Technique, all the life essence that was so huge that it could choke Zhang Mingtu to death was swallowed into his belly.
