Lu Cheng returned to the cave, rested for the night, and got up early the next day for morning exercises.
He tried to hold the copper ball, and found that his strength had increased a lot, and he was able to hold a 3,000-pound copper ball.
The seventh uncle Beimi came over, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "You have made a lot of progress, and you have accumulated a lot. Holding a 3,000-pound copper ball is a sign of entering the fourth level of martial arts. I will teach you another move.
It's called 'Carrying the Cauldron', practice it for half an hour in the morning and evening, and take 'Strengthening Bone Pills', one pill per month."
Lu Cheng asked: "Uncle Qi, what is Zhuanggu Pill?"
"Zhuanggu Pills are made from tiger bone paste, plus psoralen, and are carefully cooked. You know the tiger bones are obtained by the tribesmen after hunting tigers with great difficulty; psoralen is a kind of herbal medicine that grows on the other side of the mountain.
A large piece, but you need to select herbs that are more than ten years old to be effective. I don’t have many bone-strengthening pills in my hand, so I can only give you three. After you finish eating, go to Elder Bai Hu to get it. With your identity and
You can only receive one pill every three months for your contribution. You can think of ways to make up for the shortfall."
"Any ideas? Please give me some advice from Uncle Qi."
"Either participate in the competition among the clan, or hunt tigers yourself. A tiger can be exchanged for 30 bone-strengthening pills. In addition, I heard that if you are appreciated by the great witch, you can ask him to give you elixir."
Lu Cheng learned the "Carrying the Cauldron" and received three "Strengthening Bone Pills". He immediately took one and felt warm all over his body. His bones were itchy and numb, like countless bugs burrowing around. He quickly practiced "
"Carry the tripod" to absorb the medicinal power.
After practicing for an hour, he followed Bei Mi and a group of teenagers to hunt antelope and elk in Beiwu Valley, dozens of miles away in the south.
They were not the main force in hunting. They were mainly responsible for guarding the antelope and elk at the mouth of the valley. They saw a group of tall and tall tribesmen rushing in, killing the elk one by one, carrying them out and throwing them at the mouth of the valley. Then these young men and old men,
Carry the elk and antelope back.
Lu Cheng discovered that the elk and antelope here were both larger than those of later generations. The elk were three to four meters long and weighed three to four thousand kilograms. The antelope was stronger than the North American bison of later generations, weighing three to four thousand kilograms.
A huge prey like this is usually carried back by two teenagers or two old men.
Lu Cheng carried a smaller elk on his shoulders and walked back little by little with a "clop, clatter, clatter".
An arrow as thick as an arm was inserted into the elk's neck, and the deer's blood was flowing down drop by drop.
Lu Cheng dipped his fingers into the deer's blood and let the jade ring absorb the spiritual energy in the blood.
After the spirit deer was carried back, specialized people bled it, dismembered it, made it into dried meat, and threw it into a huge brine tank to make bacon.
The Yi people are blessed with a small salt lake in the southeast corner of the Yiyu Mountain. The brine is salty and bitter, so it can be used to marinate meat. When it is time to eat, the meat must be soaked in the stream and washed away.
of magnesium chloride, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow.
The work of curing meat is mainly done by women, and there are also some old people who take charge.
Lu Cheng left Linglu behind and went to fight against new prey in the Poyew Valley.
After carrying it like this for three days, the blood groove on the jade ring gradually increased.
By the evening of the third day, the hunting in Yaowu Valley was almost over, and the adults came back, carrying a full load on their shoulders.
According to the elders of the tribe, this year's harvest is not bad. Next, we will go hunting in the Wumulberry Forest in the east. There are herds of bison there, as well as many tigers and cheetahs.
There may be no need to go to Gaiyu Wasteland.
After a night's rest, Lu Cheng followed many young people to the Wumulberry Forest fifty miles to the east.
There are large areas of grassland in the sycamore forest, covered with the sweet and fragrant bamboo grass that bison love to eat.
Lu Cheng saw that the emperor bamboo grass had grown to a height of seven or eight meters. It looked like a sugar cane, with lush branches and leaves, green and tall, with one section after another. Each section had an axillary bud and was wrapped by leaves. The middle and lower stem nodes were growing.
The upper stem can grow branches, the grass blades are linear, the leaves are curved and drooping, and there are white short plush shapes on the back of the leaves that are shaped like needles.
Hunting bison is a relatively dangerous thing, especially bison in groups, which can cause great harm to people.
Fortunately, the people of the Leiyi tribe are very strong, and there are many masters of the sixth and seventh levels of martial arts, as well as tenth level martial arts, and even innate masters.
Despite this, Lu Cheng still saw many people injured.
Especially the next day, he saw the corpses of more than twenty tribesmen being carried out at once. It was said that they were attacked by cattle and tigers!
Later, tall bison were carried out, as well as several huge tigers.
Lu Cheng went up to help, but he couldn't carry the huge bison, so he could only carry the calves and spotted leopards.
After working hard for a few days, the blood groove of the jade ring was filled up.
On the last day, the elder Pei Hu came over, patted the exhausted teenagers one by one, and gave each of the people who were in the fourth level of martial arts bone refining a bone-strengthening pill.
At this time, the young master of the Beiyi tribe, Bei Kuang's eldest brother, a man named "Bei Chi" came over and touched "Bei Kuang's" head and gave him two bone-strengthening pills.
"Okay, go back and rest. You have nothing to do next."
Lu Cheng asked: "Brother, don't you need to go to the plowing valley in the west?"
Yan Chi sighed: "I still have to go. There are some medicinal herbs there that will help improve the state of refining the internal organs. If you don't go, you won't get the medicinal herbs."
Lu Cheng knew in his heart that the Yi tribe occupies a hundred miles radius, and the output of this area is limited. If you just feed yourself, it may not be a big problem, but if you want to grow the tribe, you have to go out and take risks.
Li Chi said: "Go back and practice hard. By March next year, you will be an adult."
Here, thirteen is considered an adult. Adults must take responsibility. If you don’t work, you won’t have food to eat.
It was rare for Lu Cheng to say a few words to this elder brother, and then he saw Bei Chiang leading a group of people and leaving with a huge tiger on their shoulders.
In addition to the killed tigers and bison, there were also people who led several live calves back, preparing to take them back to the tribe to raise.
Next, Lu Cheng remembered another thing and went to the hillside to dig a bunch of spiritual grass called "Psoralen" and put it into the jade ring.
He wanted to get some tiger bones, but tiger bones with bone marrow were controlled by the clan. He was not qualified to obtain high-quality tiger bones, so he could only go to the market to buy some small pieces of tiger bones.
Aura, but cannot make tiger bone paste.
Lu Cheng asked clearly. As a large ethnic group as the Poyi tribe, only a few people can get the bone strengthening pills. And for those young people who can't get the bone strengthening pills, if they want to strengthen their muscles and bones, there are other ways, such as beef bones.
, leopard bones, antelope bones, deer bones, all have a nourishing effect.
So, Lu Cheng went to the market every day and bought some tiger bones, leopard bones, antelope bones and deer bones. They were all fresh animal bones, with tendon fascia and a little lean meat on them.
He put these things into the jade ring, and then at noon, he lay on the stone bed, touched the jade ring, recited the incantation, and returned to the modern world.
