Whether it was a rural banquet in his previous life, a hotel wedding banquet, or the current banquet, Lin Zheyu found it boring.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some time to drink some wine with your friends, listen to a ditty, and watch the dancer twist her waist as soft as a snake?
Soon, the banquet began. After some polite words, the dishes began to be presented one by one.
As a Songyicheng family, the Xu family has an extremely rich banquet menu, all of which are high-end food and taste great.
It's a pity that I sat with Qiu Gaoxuan and others and couldn't enjoy the meal.
If he were with Jia Yanyong and the others, Lin Zheyu could be more relaxed.
After dinner, there were performances such as plays, dances and songs.
The opera troupe was the one that often performed for Xu Jingwu, and they sang very well. Lin Zheyu listened with great interest below.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xu invites you." At this time, the maid came over and said.
"Xu Qinyi, Mr. Xu?"
Lin Zheyu asked, in the Xu family, the only Mr. Xu he was familiar with was Xu Qinyi.
"Yes, you come with me."
"Okay."
Lin Zheyu stood up and followed the maid to the back garden.
Funing Garden is very large, with corridors and several turns, and you arrive at the back garden with rockeries and pools.
In the pavilion, there are several young men and women sitting.
In addition to Xu Qinyi, Chen Xihong and Ren Qingfeng whom he met last time, there is another woman he knows, who is Ren Qingfeng's sister Ren Qingying.
Ren Qingying is dressed in purple clothes, with a round face and a small dimple at the corner of her mouth.
The face is like the morning glow, the eyes are like autumn water, the skin is like gelatin, the smile is like a flower, the skin is white and pink, the skin is rosy, and the smile is charming.
In addition to Ren Qingying, there is also a woman I have never seen before, who is also extremely beautiful.
"Brother Lin is here, please sit down."
Xu Qinyi said with a smile and asked Lin Zheyu to sit down aside.
"You've already met them two, so I won't introduce them."
"The girl next to Ren Qingfeng is his sister Ren Qingying. She is well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"The girl next to Miss Ren is my cousin Xu Yuxiang. She and Miss Ren are good sisters. They are both well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Xu Qinyi introduced with a smile.
"I'm Lin Zheyu, I've met two girls."
Lin Zheyu greeted the two of them with a smile.
Ren Qingying smiled slightly at him, with curious eyes flashing in her eyes. Xu Yuxiang, on the other hand, grimaced and rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Zheyu looked a little confused and didn't know where he provoked this young lady from the Xu family.
"Yu Xiang must not be rude, call her Brother Yu." Xu Qinyi glared at her.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Zheyu." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
He seemed to understand the situation. The woman named Xu Yuxiang should have been arranged by the Xu family to contact him.
He is a good-looking person.
But there are so many good-looking girls these days, Lin Zheyu doesn't pay much attention to them. He has seen many prettier ones than Xu Yuxiang in Baihua Tower, and their lives are pretty good.
"Yes, Brother Yu."
Xu Yuxiang shouted reluctantly.
"Well, Yuxiang is in a bad mood today. Brother Lin, don't be surprised. She usually has a good personality. You will get to know her after spending more time with her."
Xu Qinyi said awkwardly.
If it weren't for the fact that among the young women of the Xu family's age who were unmarried and beautiful, only Xu Yuxiang was more suitable, and he didn't want Xu Yuxiang to come.
This girl is so uncooperative.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Lin Zheyu waved his hand and looked at Ren Qingying aside.
"I finally met Miss Ren Qingying. If I hadn't drank the porridge given by Miss Qingying, I would have died outside the city."
"This glass of wine is for Miss Qingying, thank you for your life-saving grace."
Lin Zheyu raised his glass and said.
Ren Qingying was a little stunned when she saw this. She remembered that Qingfeng had said that Mr. Lin came to Songyi City from Jiannan City.
With a slight smile, Ren Qingying revealed the dimples on her cheeks, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
She raised her wine glass magnanimously and said: "Young Master Lin, you are so polite. Without me, Mr. Lin would definitely be a good person and have his own destiny."
"No wonder I stared at my sister when I saw you coming over. I thought you were attracted to my sister, but I didn't expect this to be the reason!"
"Brother Lin, do you think my sister is pretty? Are you interested in being my brother-in-law?" Ren Qingfeng said with a black smile, looking at Xu Yuxiang provocatively.
He felt that this girl was very uninterested, and she could not look down on someone as talented as Brother Lin.
In Ren Qingfeng's view, Lin Zheyu is much better than the young men from aristocratic families in the city, so it would be a good choice to recruit him as his son-in-law.
"Ahem."
Xu Qinyi coughed lightly and gave Ren Qingfeng a sharp look. He knew that this guy brought his sister Ren Qingying here with bad intentions.
"Young Master Ren is joking. Miss Qingying is a kind-hearted person, but I'm afraid I won't be able to climb up."
"Moreover, marriage is a major event in life. Parents order a matchmaker, but now that parents and relatives are gone, they have no time to think about marriage."
Lin Zheyu politely refused.
"Qingfeng, didn't you say you wanted to take Miss Qingying to enjoy the flowers? Xiaoxuan, take Young Master Ren and Miss Ren over to enjoy the flowers."
Seeing that Ren Qingfeng still wanted to say something, Xu Qinyi hurriedly said.
Ren Qingying couldn't help but smile. She knew that Xu Qinyi wanted to bring Yuxiang and Mr. Lin together, so she didn't get in the way.
"Yes, Qingfeng, I'm going to enjoy the flowers with my sister."
Ren Qingying stood up and pulled Ren Qingfeng up.
"Brother Lin, next time we meet up, next time I will make a date with my sister alone, hehe."
Ren Qingfeng turned around and said to Lin Zheyu with a black smile, making Lin Zheyu dumbfounded.
"Yuxiang, this is Brother Lin's first visit to Funing Garden. Please show him around."
Send away that boy Ren Qingfeng, Xu Qinyi said, and create opportunities for Lin Zheyu and Xu Yuxiang to get along.
"Yes, cousin."
Xu Yuxiang said reluctantly. She stood up and looked at Lin Zheyu and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around."
Lin Zheyu took care of himself and followed Xu Yuxiang while walking in Funing Garden.
"Brother Xu, I feel like there's no chance for them both."
After the two left, Chen Xihong said that he had been watching the show from the sidelines just now.
"Oh, I feel like there is no chance. If Yujun is not married yet, her temperament will be much more suitable." Xu Qinyi sighed.
"Drinking and drinking depends on their own luck." Chen Xihong said with a smile.
……
Walking in Funing Garden with Xu Yuxiang, the scenery of Funing Garden is good, each courtyard has been carefully decorated, each has its own beauty.
Xu Yuxiang had no expression on her face the whole time and walked silently in front. Lin Zheyu didn't care and just pretended to be wandering alone.
After a long time, Xu Yuxiang finally spoke.
"I'm not interested in you. You should give up." Xu Yuxiang said.
"What a coincidence, me too." Lin Zheyu responded with a smile.
"Huh, that's the best!"
Xu Yuxiang snorted coldly and seemed to be even more unhappy.
The two wandered around for about an hour before returning to the pavilion.
Seeing Xu Yuxiang's cold and disgusting face, Xu Qinyi couldn't help but sigh. She had to talk to her fifth uncle when she got back and take care of this girl's temper.
When I got home, the sky was a little gray.
Along the way, there was the sound of firecrackers, and the children were chasing each other, making it very lively.
Lin Zheyu practiced martial arts for more than an hour as usual, and then went to sleep using the Turtle Breathing Technique with all his strength.
Early morning
Wake up from deep sleep.
I have to say that the Turtle Breathing Technique is particularly miraculous. After working at full power, Lin Zheyu felt as if he had fallen into an animal's hibernation state.
The body's metabolism and heartbeat are reduced to an extremely weak level, and the mind enters a deep sleep.
The quality of sleep in this state is very good.
Lin Zheyu stretched and walked out of the hidden space in the firewood pile in the kitchen.
In a state of deep sleep, his sensory response to the outside world will be reduced.
To be on the safe side, he returned here to sleep at night.
I got up, washed myself briefly, and started exercising in the yard.
After a few days of training, his energy and spirit returned to its peak, and he was able to break through the limits again.
The medicinal fragrance of Yixuezhuanggu Decoction floats in the yard.
Lin Zheyu was sweating like rain.
After exercising continuously for more than an hour, his face turned a little pale, and he was almost reaching his limit.
After more than half an hour, he once again experienced the energy and spirit knitting into one, and his whole person seemed to be sublimated.
"Huh..."
Let out a long breath.
"Hey, two units of source power have been added this time."
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and was a little surprised.
This time, the source of power actually increased by two units.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:2
Skills:
Man Niu Fist (Perfect)
Jin Yan Gong (4th level 67%)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 1%)
Liuhe Knife (88% proficiency)
"Breaking through the limit four times, the first three times increased by 1 unit, and the fourth time increased by two units of source power."
"In other words, the average source power increases by 1.25 units each time."
Lin Zheyu did some calculations and calculated the approximate source power gained after each breakthrough of the limit.
But this is only for now. As your strength increases, you will gain more and more power every time you break through the limit.
It is estimated that when the strength reaches the third or even fourth change of Qi and blood, the source power obtained each time the limit is exceeded will be two units.
Lin Zheyu guessed that when breaking through the limit, the strength of the spirit is related to the amount of source power obtained.
When he was exhausted once before, he tried to break through the limit, but failed to gain source power. That was because his energy and spirit were too weak, and the source power he gained was less than 1 unit.
If it is less than 1 unit, it will not be displayed.
Lin Zheyu was lying on the ground, breathing heavily and not wanting to move.
After breaking through the limit, my body became extremely weak and exhausted.
He stared at the sky in a daze, his thoughts divergent.
"What exactly is source power? Why can I obtain source power when I break through the limits of my body?"
"Is this really the energy that comes from the condensation of essence, energy and spirit?"
Lin Zheyu thought about it, he often thinks about this problem.
He really doesn't believe that the energy of essence, energy and spirit can be twisted into one to give birth to such a miraculous high-level energy as source power.
"Could it be that there is something mysterious hidden in my body, which contains magical energy like Yuan Li?"
"And every time I break through the limit, my energy and spirit are twisted into one, and when I enter a state that is like spiritual sublimation, my spirit can break through that thing and obtain the source energy inside?"
Lin Zheyu thought wildly for a while and regained some strength.
He sat up with difficulty, walked slowly into the house, and took out three more sets of medicinal materials for the blood-boosting and bone-strengthening soup.
Use source power to improve Jin Yan Gong. One unit of source power requires three doses of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction to meet the energy requirements.
Now that two units have been added, six doses of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction are needed.
Before, he thought that as usual, breaking the limit would only increase one unit of source power, so he only made three sets of blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup herbs.
"Two units of source power are enough for me to break through Jin Yan Gong to the fifth level." Lin Zheyu secretly said.
During the previous upgrade, each unit of source power could almost increase the progress of the fourth level by 18%, and two more units would be enough.
Put the medicinal materials into the medicine pot and start boiling.
After controlling the heat, Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on the ground to refine his energy and blood.
Although when you push your physical limits, you exhaust your physical energy.
But squeezing and squeezing can still squeeze out some qi and blood energy.
Every trace of qi and blood power was extracted under his squeezing.
The effect of qi and blood is extremely miraculous. It can quickly recover from physical fatigue and injuries, and burst out with more powerful power.
With the help of qi and blood energy, muscle soreness and fatigue can be quickly relieved.
Lin Zheyu refined it continuously for half an hour, but only squeezed out a small amount of Qi and blood.
Just breaking through the limit consumes too much. No matter how hard you squeeze it, you can only extract a small amount of qi and blood power.
But this is enough.
With these traces of qi and blood energy, Lin Zheyu's body pain has been relieved a lot.
The energy of qi and blood flows with the blood to the body, limbs and bones, overflowing into the cells and dispelling physical fatigue.
With the help of qi and blood energy, my body has recovered somewhat, but my spirit is still very tired.
Breaking through the limits is the most draining of energy.
Time passes slowly.
The blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening soup is finished.
Pour out the blood-reinforcing and bone-strengthening soup from the medicine pot and pour it together with the previous one.
Picking up a large bowl of medicinal soup, he drank it all.
As the power of the medicine dissipated, Lin Zheyu felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
Under the influence of the huge medicinal power, qi and blood energy was automatically born in the body without him having to work hard to refine it.
‘Use 2 units of source power to improve Jin Yan Gong.’
Lin Zheyu's thoughts came out.
In an instant, mysterious energy surged out from his cells, pulling the medicine in his belly to nourish and strengthen his body.
His spirit entered a strange spiritual space, and he began to exercise crazily in that space.
In the endless practice, Lin Zheyu's understanding of Jin Yan Gong has rapidly improved, and his strength has grown steadily.
The qi and blood in the body began to grow crazily under the stimulation of mysterious energy and medicinal power.
A steady stream of qi and blood energy overflows from the blood, filling the blood vessels in the body in an instant.
The proficiency of Jin Yan Gong increased rapidly, and the blink of an eye increased to 100%.
Lin Zheyu's blood vessels were filled with extremely rich qi and blood power, so rich that he could not hold any more qi and blood energy, reaching the limit of his body.
After Qi and blood reach the body's limit, it cannot continue to improve.
If you want to continue to improve your strength, you need to purify the qi and blood, remove the impurity energy in the qi and blood, and make the qi and blood more pure and powerful.
This is the change of Qi and blood quality!
Lin Zheyu's chest moved up and down.
Dramatic changes are taking place in his body.
Qi and blood flowed out continuously, making bursts of rumbling sounds as the blood flowed in the blood vessels.
With every blood circulation, Qi and blood will escape, strengthening his body.
After reaching the fifth level of Jin Yan Gong, the qi and blood all over the body reached the limit, but there was still a steady stream of qi and blood flowing out.
Through the action of mysterious energy, these qi and blood begin to be optimized, purified, and become purer, and the energy contained in them becomes more powerful.
But after only a small amount of purification, it stopped.
The effect of source force ends.
Lin Zheyu broke away from his mental state and opened his eyes.
There was a bloody light in his eyes.
This is caused by excessive qi and blood energy overflowing.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:0
Skills:
Man Niu Fist (Perfect)
Jin Yan Gong (5th level 1%)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 1%)
Liuhe Knife (88% proficiency)
The fifth level of Jin Yan Gong!
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness. Jin Yan Gong had been promoted to the fifth level, and the first qualitative change of Qi and blood had officially begun.
