Deep in the Xing Family Mansion, there is a martial arts arena where the children of the Xing Family practice their martial arts. It has always been very lively in the past.
But now, Xing Nan is the only one left in the Xing family, and this martial arts arena seems too quiet.
However, in the past few days, no matter day or night, the Xing family's martial arts performance field has always been filled with banging and banging sounds from time to time, and sometimes there is also a soft drink.
There are only two people in the Xing family now, and one of them is Uncle Chen, who doesn't understand martial arts or martial arts at all. The noise in the martial arts arena was naturally caused by Xing Nan.
At this moment, Xing Nan was in the forest of wooden stakes in the martial arts arena, constantly waving his fists and feet, hitting the wooden stakes, with a vaguely childish face, full of seriousness and perseverance.
The wooden stake is not made of ordinary wood, but is made of very hard golden iron wood. It is difficult to be damaged by fists or feet, even ordinary sharp swords.
Xing Nan is a third-level warrior. His fists and feet can easily break bluestone slabs, but hitting these wooden piles can only make a dull thumping sound.
He wandered among the dozens of wooden stakes, with his upper body naked, regardless of the sweat on his back and the scars on his palms and soles, practicing as if he was forgetting his feelings.
This is just the introductory practice of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu. You must complete this step of practice to make your body, which has become much weaker due to injuries, stronger and stronger, and then you can touch Dragon Elephant Kung Fu.
Those who practice a discipline, fight against the will of heaven, endure hardships, and blindly opportunistically seek to take advantage of the situation will definitely achieve nothing in the end. Even if they are geniuses, they will be able to shine brightly for a short time like a shooting star at most, but they will never shine brightly forever.
The most important requirement for entry-level practice of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu is to be able to endure hardship. Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can you face the even more unbearable suffering that practicing Dragon Elephant Kung Fu brings.
In the words of the shadowy old man, if you can't bear even this little pain, you might as well just sit there and wait to die.
First, he exercised like this, and then under the instructions of the old man Xuying, Xing Nan tied sandbags and heavy iron blocks on his body. He had to persist for at least ten hours every day, every day without interruption, and at the same time, he had to continue to increase his strength.
Bear weight.
A few days ago, Uncle Chen occasionally came to take a look, but later he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he stopped coming and just silently prepared food for the young master.
Every time Xing Nan came back from the martial arts field, he would first rinse his body with clean water, then eat a lot, then dance in the yard with a set of boxing techniques that made Uncle Chen look a little weird, and finally lie down and fall asleep, but just two hours ago
If you pass, you will be awakened by the phantom old man.
This level of training intensity would be too much for even some accomplished martial artists. After all, Xing Nan had just recovered from his injuries, and he was only a third-level warrior. After persisting for a full month, his energy and spirit were no longer sustainable.
.
If you continue to practice like this, I am afraid that you will train yourself to death before you can see the hope of becoming a strong person.
"Can't stop!"
Seeing that Xing Nan showed signs of slacking off, the old man Xuying said firmly: "The reason why warriors can exert extremely powerful power with their physical bodies is because their bodies have endless potential, and the best and most effective way to tap their own potential is
That is, when your body’s endurance has reached the critical point, you are still persisting!”
Although Xing Nan was a little depressed, he still nodded solemnly.
The old man Xuying continued: "Don't worry, you won't torture yourself to death, because your innate soul is strong enough to sustain you!"
Xing Nan gave up his plan to slack off, and with the mentality that dying from exhaustion is better than dying from being useless, he persisted in practicing in a state of self-paralysis and madness.
When he was still young in his previous life, Xing Nan knew the simplest truth——
No pain No gain!
But after three more days, Xing Nan finally couldn't hold on any longer. After punching a wooden stake, his eyes blackened and he passed out.
The phantom old man floated out from Xing Nan's sleeves, looked at him who fell into a coma, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Although this boy has strong perseverance, his current physical condition is a little worse. It seems that the last time he was attacked by the sword spirit, it is really bad."
It was because he was injured too badly that he managed to save his life, but he only had a few more years to live. He had to cultivate at least to the realm of martial arts in these limited years, relying solely on his own efforts.
, this task is really too difficult, it seems that we have to think of other ways."
Xing Nan fell into coma again, but it scared Uncle Chen quite a lot. Fortunately, he only woke up after being comatose for a day and a half, and his face was just a little pale.
"Uncle Chen, I have made you worry so much." Xing Nan said with a look of shame.
"Young Master, what are you talking about? This old slave has grown up in the Xing family since he was a child, eating and living in the Xing family. This old slave's life belongs to the Xing family. As long as the young master is fine, I will let him
Even if you die, I will never hesitate!" Uncle Chen said very sincerely.
Uncle Chen's loyalty to the Xing family is unquestionable. If not for this, even Xing Nan wouldn't know where the Silent Shadow Sword is hidden, but Uncle Chen knows it.
Speaking of Silent Shadow Sword, it is indeed a pity. After the sword spirit was absorbed, it also became a pseudo-spiritual sword, but it was tougher and sharper than ordinary swords in the world.
"Young Master, please rest first while I prepare some food for you."
As Uncle Chen said this, he was already heading out the door.
After Uncle Chen left, the shadowy old man came out of Xing Nan's sleeves again. He said solemnly: "Your body is indeed in a bad shape now, so in addition to continuing the original training plan, we have to go a little further."
There are other ways."
"Oh? Which way to take?" Xing Nan asked curiously.
"Take drugs!" Xuying old man said with narrowed eyes.
Hearing these two words, Xing Nan subconsciously thought of ecstasy first, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy all over.
After some explanations by the old man Xuying, Xing Nan understood what it means to take drugs, which means supplementing with various elixirs for support in the process of cultivation.
"In your current state, you don't need any powerful elixirs, and you can't get those powerful elixirs. You only need two kinds of elixirs. One is to strengthen the body, and the other is to quickly recover from physical wounds.
of."
The old man Xuying continued: "Even for these two kinds of elixirs, you only need the lowest grade one now. I don't understand the methods of refining medicines in this world and the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, and I have no interest in understanding them, so I am refining them.
Regarding elixirs, I have nothing to teach you. You can either understand it yourself, or go out and buy the finished product."
Xing Nan seemed a little embarrassed.
Alchemy requires a lot of talent. His talent in this area is very poor, and he is one of those people who can hardly achieve anything no matter how hard he works.
The most important thing is that understanding the method of alchemy requires a lot of time and a lot of financial support.
Therefore, if he expects himself to realize it, this path will not work. Even if he can get through it, he will not have so much time to realize it.
Then you can only buy finished elixirs, but finished elixirs are often very valuable, and given the current situation of the Xing family, they may not be able to maintain them for a long time.
In order to purchase a body-tempering pill from the Luo family, Xing Hao spent almost all the remaining savings of the Xing family. Even the large palace of the Xing family would have to return to the Luo family sooner or later. The financial resources that the Xing family now has are also
All we can do is let Xing Nan and Uncle Chen have enough to eat.
"If you have difficulties, you can only solve them yourself. I will only tell you how to go."
After saying this, the old man Xuying returned to the nine-ring reincarnation bracelet.
Uncle Chen walked in with a hot meal and placed the wooden tray directly on the bedside cabinet.
"Uncle Chen, does our family have any large hidden treasures?"
Xing Nan picked up a piece of light bamboo shoot with his chopsticks and chewed it carefully while asking.
Uncle Chen said without thinking: "This shouldn't happen. I didn't mention it to my slave before I passed away."
Naturally, Xing Nan would not doubt Uncle Chen, so he seemed a little disappointed.
Uncle Chen then asked: "What, does the young master need any expenses?"
Xing Nan put down his chopsticks, took a big gulp of the porridge, nodded, and said, "I need some, maybe there is more."
Uncle Chen pondered for a while and said: "The land deeds and even the land deeds of our mansion have been exchanged for the body tempering pills. If we need to spend a lot of money, we can only sell some antique calligraphy, paintings and furniture in the house.
"
Xing Nan frowned slightly, his pale face a little gloomy. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Then let's sell some."
What you have lost now, you will have to fight back sooner or later with your own pair of iron fists!
In order to be able to continue practicing and stay alive, Xing Nan couldn't care less. After all, if he died, everything would belong to others.
Following Xing Nan's instructions, Uncle Chen secretly moved the valuable items of the Xing family out of the back door and sold them, which actually got Xing Nan a lot of gold coins.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Xing family has been in decline for many years, it is still a family that has existed for hundreds of years. Naturally, there are many precious collections in such a large mansion.
Ordinary elixirs can be bought with gold coins. Only some elixirs that reach the spiritual level need to be purchased with spirit stones, such as the body tempering elixir.
What Xing Nan needs now is ordinary non-spiritual elixirs, so he did not take those gold coins, but told Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, help me buy two kinds of elixirs from Chengzhongfang City. One is
The solid elixir is, first of all, the best gold-creating medicine."
Uncle Chen didn't ask any questions about the young master's instructions. After nodding, he left the Xing Family Mansion and went to Fangshi in the city.
When Uncle Chen came back, he first gave Xing Nan a small baggage, and then went to prepare food.
With solid elixirs to nourish and strengthen the body, as well as good gold medicine to restore the damage caused by excessive practice, Xing Nan's abnormal practice that almost destroyed himself was able to restart under the guidance of the old man Xuying.
Even with the help of elixirs, the pain during the cultivation process continued to increase. He continued to reach the limit of his body's endurance, breaking through the limit again and again, and he knew the pain best in his heart.
However, the effect is very obvious. In just three months, his physical strength is no weaker than that of a ninth-grade warrior, and is only one step away from being comparable to a first-grade martial artist.
However, what he never expected was that after Uncle Chen once again took the gold coins to the city, what he brought back was not the solid elixir and gold medicine, but blood and serious injuries all over his body.
