We are poor in literature but rich in martial arts. If we want to practice martial arts quickly, we need not only superior talents, but also panacea, a two-pronged approach.
Pills, secrets, and weapons are always indispensable things for a warrior.
In the land of China, everyone practices martial arts, and the consumption of elixirs is very serious. Therefore, the supply of elixirs seriously exceeds the demand, and the price is quite high.
Before reaching the seventh level of martial arts, a warrior's training focused on refining the body and only needed to take one type of elixir: the body tempering elixir.
There are three types of body tempering pills: low grade, middle grade, and high grade. The lower grade tempers the skin and flesh, the middle grade tempers the muscles and bones, and the high grade tempers the internal organs. They respectively correspond to the training of warriors at the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth levels of martial arts.
A low-grade body-tempering pill is worth 300 taels of silver, a medium-grade body-tempering pill is worth 600 taels, and a high-grade body-tempering pill is worth 900 taels.
Taking elixirs can speed up cultivation several times that of direct cultivation. A disciple with ordinary qualifications can practice at a speed no slower than a genius disciple by taking elixirs. This shows the importance of elixirs.
One body tempering pill is enough for a warrior to practice for about three days. There are so many outer disciples of Tianjian Sect that each person is barely given three pills per month, which is only enough for nine days of practice.
The rest of the time, if you want to take the elixir for practice, you must spend money to buy it from the sect. If it is given out completely free of charge, it will be a very huge consumption for the sect. The development of the sect will take hundreds of thousands of years.
It cannot be consumed for a long time.
Lin Dong's family is a small and unworthy family. His cultivation is only at the third level of martial arts, so he is not taken seriously. The money provided by the family every month is only two thousand taels.
Two thousand taels of silver can only buy three middle-grade body tempering pills, which are enough for Lin Dong to practice for nine days. Plus the three pills given out for free by the sect, Lin Dong only has eighteen pills to take and practice in one month.
God, so 100 taels of silver is very precious to him.
10,000 taels of silver is equivalent to five times the monthly training fee provided by the family. It is enough to buy 16 middle-grade body tempering pills. Together with the free pills distributed by the sect, it is enough for Lin Dong to take the pills for more than two months continuously.
"Brother Ma Huang, 10,000 taels of silver, hehe...!" Lin Dong rubbed his hands, his eyes forming a line of laughter.
Ma Huang has a cultivation level of the sixth level of martial arts. He has been in the sect for more than five years. His qualifications are ordinary, but his family has a long history. It is an eighth-level family. The monthly expenses for his training are 10,000 taels.
However, apart from the cost of purchasing the elixirs required for monthly cultivation, there is not much left.
Only outer disciples who have reached the seventh level of martial arts are eligible to accept sect missions, go out to practice, and earn money and sect merit points. Before the seventh level, the only way to make money was to mentor some new disciples from wealthy families.
Practice.
Generally, only disciples at the fifth or sixth level of martial arts have this opportunity. After all, their cultivation level is too low and they are not much better than new disciples. New disciples will not be stupid and have too much money and no place to spend it. They just ask for guidance.
.
Although he could usually make some money by guiding new disciples to practice, losing ten thousand taels was enough for him to lose a lot of money, and he almost stopped buying elixirs for half a month.
Ma Huang felt a pain in his heart, scratched his head, and said: "Junior brother, this...are the odds a bit too high?"
"What? Brother Ma Huang, you just said you would lose a hundred for each one. All the brothers nearby heard it with their own ears. Don't you want to cheat?" Lin Dong couldn't help but raise his voice a bit and asked.
Several disciples of the fifth and sixth levels of martial arts nearby laughed happily and said: "Junior brother Ma Huang (senior brother), we all heard it with our own ears just now. You are relying on a junior brother of the third level of martial arts for money. Will you still be embarrassed in the future?"
A row of black lines suddenly appeared on Ma Huang's forehead, but if he was asked to give 10,000 taels of silver to his junior martial brother who was at the third level of martial arts, how could he be willing to do so?
Ma Huang said: "Nonsense, how could I rely on this junior brother? Junior brother, you are giving me 100 taels of silver? How about I return the 100 taels to you... or I will give you 200 taels."
?”
Seeing the disdainful looks from the disciples nearby, Ma Huang quickly changed his mind to 200 taels, but the disdainful looks became even more intense.
However, compared to 10,000 taels of silver, contempt is contempt, Ma Huang thought to himself, anyway, the other party is just a young disciple of the third level of martial arts. If he doesn't give it, can he still cause trouble for him?
"Junior brother Lin Dong, why are you here, where is Huangshi?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Ma Huang. Ma Huang turned around and forgot, and was startled. It was Xuantian.
The scene where Xuan Tian slashed out his sword energy and knocked Niu Zhigao flying across the ring just now was still lingering in Ma Huang's mind.
"Is this junior brother familiar with senior brother Huang Tian?" Ma Huang suddenly had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
In Tianjian Sect, senior fellow apprentices are not judged by their age or year of entry, but by their level of cultivation.
Xuantian entered the school later than Ma Huang and was two years younger. However, his cultivation level was higher than that of Ma Huang, so he was Ma Huang's senior brother.
"Senior Brother Huang Tian... I heard about the duel between elite disciples, so I ran over to have a look. Senior Brother Huang Shi was injured and was inconvenienced, so he did not come. This is Senior Brother Ma Huang, he..."
Lin Dong explained what Ma Huang had just asked people to bet on who would win and who lost, and how he owed him 10,000 taels of silver.
After hearing this, Xuantian's eyes fell on Ma Huang and said, "I'm very sorry, Junior Brother Ma Huang, I've let you down."
Although the words were casual, his eyes were cold and clear, which made Ma Huang shudder. He quickly shook his head and said: "I'm not disappointed, I'm not disappointed..."
Xuantian didn't say a word, but looked at Ma Huang coldly, which made Ma Huang's heart tremble. He suddenly woke up, hurriedly took out a handful of banknotes from his arms, counted ten of them, and each one
They were all large silver notes of one thousand taels, and he said: "I, Ma Huang, am willing to admit defeat. All the brothers and sisters who are familiar with me know that I, Ma Huang, have the best gambling products. This junior brother, here are the 10,000 taels of silver notes. Please accept it."
Down!"
With that said, he handed over the 10,000 taels of silver note to Lin Dong.
"Thank you, Brother Ma Huang." Lin Dong accepted it without ceremony.
Looking at the large amount of banknotes in his hand, most of them were 100 taels of banknotes. However, there were only three of the 1,000 taels of large banknotes left. Ma Huang's heart was bleeding, but it was painful.
On his mournful face, there was a tragic smile: "It should be, it should be!"
Seeing Lin Dong collect the banknote, Xuan Tian was about to return to his residence with him to see how his cousin Huang Shi was doing, when suddenly there was a commotion in the square.
"Senior Brother Zhang Long!"
"Senior Brother Zhang Long!"
…
…
The shouts are endless.
The densely packed outer sect disciples in the square actively retreated to both sides, including the elite outer sect disciples who were above the seventh level of martial arts realm.
Zhang Long, one of the most influential figures among the outer disciples and ranked among the top three among all the outer disciples, appeared.
If the inner sect disciples are existences in the clouds to the outer sect disciples and are impossible to see, then among the outer sect disciples, the top ten masters are the divine dragons who can only see the beginning but not the end.
We meet, but no matter when, we will never know where they are.
Zhang Long, ranked among the top ten in the outer disciple ranking competition last year and won eighth place. This year, the top five outer disciples last year have all entered Xiantian and entered the inner disciple. Zhang Long is sure to become the leader this year.
The existence of the top three.
Zhang Long is seventeen years old this year and has reached the tenth level of martial arts. He is only one step away from entering Xiantian.
He was wearing a green shirt, with the shape of a dragon embroidered on his neck and sleeves faintly visible. At this moment, he was striding forward with his head held high and his chest high.
Behind Zhang Long, there were more than ten disciples, all of whom were elites among the outer disciples. Their cultivation level was at least the seventh level of martial arts, and even some of them were at the eighth or ninth level of martial arts.
Wherever Zhang Long passed, the outer disciples in the square took the initiative to move aside to make way for a passage.
Soon, the passage that retreated to both sides spread to Xuantian.
Xuantian did not step away from either side. He knew that Zhang Long's target was himself.
Niu Zhigao, who fainted, had already been given healing elixirs by the previous people. Under the leadership of Zhang Hu, everyone carried Niu Zhigao's body and walked over.
"Brother, Senior Brother Niu was severely injured by Huang Tian. You must avenge us. Beat Huang Tian to death and beat Huang Tian into a cripple." Seeing Zhang Long, Zhang Hu shouted as if he had seen a savior.
Zhang Long is a head shorter than Zhang Hu, but his upper body is straight, with his head held high and his chest held high. He does not bend even when walking, like an unsheathed sword. In terms of momentum, he is much taller than Zhang Hu.
Take a piece out.
When two people stand together, it will give people the illusion that Zhang Long is taller and Zhang Hu is shorter.
Seeing the unconscious Niu Zhigao, Zhang Long frowned a little, forming the character "Chuan".
Zhang Long walked ten feet in front of Xuantian and stopped. His eyes were like daggers, staring at Xuantian's face, and said: "Huang Tian, you are very good!"
It sounds like a compliment, but the tone is not that and makes people feel chilling.
Xuantian's breathing was calm, his mood was natural, and he was not affected by Zhang Long at all. He said: "Senior Brother Zhang Long, do you also want to challenge me and fight with me?"
Although Xuantian is now able to release sword energy, and is almost equivalent to a warrior at the eighth level of martial arts, his strength is still somewhat inferior. After all, all Xuantian has practiced are middle-level Huang-level martial arts.
After successfully cultivating the high-ranking Xiantian Kung Fu, Leopard Shadow Technique, and Jue Ying Sword Technique of the Heavenly General Huang Rank, when the time comes, I am afraid that warriors at the eighth level of martial arts may not be his opponents.
However, Zhang Long has reached the tenth level of martial arts and has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. He is only one step away from entering the innate realm. At this moment, Xuantian is currently unable to match him.
There was a trace of disdain in Zhang Long's eyes, and he said: "It's just you? You're not qualified enough!"
Xuan Tian knew that Zhang Long really wanted to get into the ring with him and beat him upright. Why didn't he want to beat Zhang Long up too?
It's just that it's not now. The time is not right at this moment. The white jade sword in the center of his eyebrow has made Xuantian's cultivation increase by two levels in a row, and his strength has increased explosively. Xuantian is very confident that as long as he is given time, he can defeat Zhang Long.
, it’s not a problem at all, and it doesn’t take too long.
