Chen Li returned home and placed the things he bought one by one.
Then I poured a glass of boiled water, sat comfortably on the chair, took a breath of pleasure, and felt relaxed all over.
A good day is when there is no stress in life.
Not long after, the voices of the female neighbor and his man were faintly heard next door.
There was something in his mind and he wanted to go out and have a chat.
But he moved his buttocks, thought about it and sat back down.
Forget it.
He is not such a superficial person. He no longer cares about the female cultivator's mean and sinister words. He is not as knowledgeable as women.
…
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
At this time there was a knock on the door.
'Who comes to see me again!'
He put down the tea cup without being nervous, checked the lancet on his waist, calmly stood up and went to open the door.
Sometimes people really can't bear to talk about it. Just when they are thinking about their female neighbor, she will automatically come to the door.
"Hey, you are really at home." She stretched her neck and looked inside, and choked when she spoke: "I haven't seen you open the door these days, I thought something happened to you."
Chen Li felt suffocated at what he said.
"I've been in retreat these days to draw talismans..." Chen Li said with a faint smile.
"Hehe, I can't live any longer. Okay, don't hold on."
Can you let me finish?
Chen Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something...
"Hey, I'm going to give you something good to replenish your health. This is authentic monster meat. The man, Lao Wangtou, and Lao Sun and I laid a trap and laid an ambush for three days and three nights before we finally killed it."
As she spoke, she smiled and handed the meat in her hand over.
"This... this is too expensive." Chen Li was stunned for a moment and refused again and again.
Monster Meat Chen Li knew that even the most common monster meat was almost the same price as low-grade spiritual rice.
"What's the price? I've harvested a lot this time. I'm afraid it won't fetch much in the market. Just remember to give us a few guiding signs next time." The tired female neighbor said generously with the joy and satisfaction of the harvest.
.
"Then...okay." Chen Li took the meat from the other party's hand.
It is obviously inappropriate to refuse the kindness shared by others. Alas, I will return it later when I find an opportunity.
Watching the female neighbor go away, he closed the door and weighed it in his hands. Such a large piece of meat probably weighed ten kilograms. He walked to the kitchen, put the meat on the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife, and chopped it hard.
"chop!"
"chop!"
"chop!"
"chop!"
…
The muscle fibers of the monster beast are very strong, like rubber, but fortunately they are not invulnerable to swords.
As Chen Li chopped violently, he quickly chopped the meat into a pile of small pieces, then put it into a clay pot, sprinkled it with salt, and marinated it.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and it will go bad quickly if not treated.
Can't eat for two days.
After doing all this, Chen Li washed his hands, poured another glass of boiled water, and sat on the chair.
I found that the plain boiled water that I originally drank had become bland and tasteless.
"Stop drinking, practice swordsmanship, practice swordsmanship!"
…
The swordsmanship book Chen Li bought is undoubtedly much simpler than the "Escape Technique of Feigning Death" that he still hasn't figured out yet.
The first part is about training methods and some basic moves, while the latter part is about fighting methods and some tips and countermeasures that need to be paid attention to in battle.
Supplemented by various real-life experiences of narrowly avoiding death and various powerful enemies that have been killed or defeated, it is like a personal biography and can almost be read as a story.
If the author does not brag about himself, it is obvious that he is a quite powerful mortal swordsman.
Perhaps in the eyes of some immortal cultivators, the swordsmanship of mortals is simply dismissed.
But Chen Li still values it very much. There is no hope for cultivation and he is in a dangerous world.
Now he wants to learn any skill that can protect himself.
Don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills. Learning more can save your life at critical moments. What's more, even ordinary skills can show extraordinary effects when they are high level.
For example, ‘spiritual snap of fingers’
Now it has become second only to Liuye Dart's trump card, and even has a tendency to catch up.
With the game panel, this kind of practice CD is not long and does not consume spiritual energy. As long as you get started, you can practice it much faster than drawing symbols.
…
At noon, Chen Li was still stiff when practicing his sword, his movements were rough, and every move was precise.
It's impossible to look straight at.
However, in just one afternoon, his swordsmanship has become smooth and natural, and his body is as flexible as a vigorous cheetah. Every movement he makes is full of force, and every time the sword is thrust out, the air makes a "squeaking" sound.
He looks like a seasoned swordsman who has practiced for more than ten years.
At this time, there was a "clang" sound.
The arm finally gave out and could no longer hold the sword. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"hiss!"
At this moment, Chen Li felt that every part of his body was sore and limp, and his naked upper body felt as if water had been splashed on him, making him wet all over.
Feeling the unnatural twitching of muscles all over his body, he walked to the table with empty steps, picked up a clay pot, and drank the boiled salt in small sips.
"How did the intensity of this exercise become so intense?" Chen Li thought to himself.
It was okay at first, as his body, which was at the third level of Qi training, seemed to be able to handle it with ease.
But wait until the skill reaches the proficiency level.
After spending a lot of time practicing, my body formed a preliminary body memory.
The intensity is completely different. Every move and every posture needs to be exerted throughout the whole body, fingers, arms, chest, waist, legs and hips, and even the tips of the toes, no one stops exerting force.
The physical consumption of each movement is several times higher than before.
"It's quite a workout." Chen Li glanced at his eight-pack abs that were obscured by his belly with disdain:
"I don't know what will happen if I master the swordsmanship?"
He is now becoming more and more interested in this mortal swordsmanship.
…
Time passed day by day, and the days were dull but fulfilling.
Every five days he goes to the market to sell talismans, and each time he harvests at most three low-grade spiritual stones, and at least two. After excluding the cost of buying 'talisman skin' and 'blood ink' in the rune shop, the income is still considerable.
The days are getting more and more nourishing.
At the same time, his body is getting stronger day by day, and his appetite is getting better and better.
The body that was originally slightly chubby now begins to look more muscular, and his eyes are bright and lively.
As he actively contacted the outside world these days, he gradually collected some information about this area.
First: This is located at the westernmost point of the Immortality Sect, and beyond is the wild and primitive endless forest.
Second: In addition to the Immortality Sect, there are also some other sect forces scattered around, and it is said that they have been in peace with each other for decades.
Third, there are very few mortals here. It is almost the norm to be uninhabited for thousands of miles.
As for these low-level casual cultivators, they are dependent on this local market, like rootless duckweeds, and most of them make a living from various resources in the endless forest.
This made him more determined to leave here after making enough money.
This kind of new land that has not been developed much is not safe no matter how you look at it.
