Chen Zong doesn't like to be disturbed when he practices swordsmanship. The corner of the training ground is his favorite.
There are several large trees planted here, with palm-sized leaves and dense leaves, which seem to separate this corner from the entire martial arts training ground.
The fine iron sword's sword light shines, and the sword penetrates the air, making a harsh and sharp sound.
Chen Zong first practiced the After Shadow Sword Technique, the Willow Sword Technique and the Eagle Fencing Sword Technique ten times each, and then practiced the Eight Forms of the Real Sword Technique twenty times, and then practiced the first level of the Splitting Light Sword Technique.
There are seven sword-swinging movements in the first level, which require the coordination of the hands, body, steps, and eyes. These seven sword-swinging movements themselves do not have much power. The main purpose is to mobilize the energy and blood of the body to operate in a specific way.
Finally broke out.
Such is the practice of human-level martial arts.
Chen Zong swung his sword over and over again, repeatedly practicing the seven movements of the first level of the splitting light sword technique, striving to make each movement perfect and coherent.
"Human-level martial arts is the use of the power of qi and blood. Each human-level martial arts has its own way of operating the power of qi and blood, and ultimately produces different powers and different effects."
"For example, the seven movements of the first level of splitting light swordsmanship that I have practiced belong to the first level of guidance of this swordsmanship. The purpose is to become familiar with the operation method of this power of qi and blood until I am very familiar with it.
If you need more guidance, you can make the power of Qi and blood run like this, burst out instantly, and then perform the first level of the split light sword technique."
After practicing for three consecutive days, Chen Zong had a thorough understanding of the first level of the split-light sword technique. The only difference was his physical mastery.
This requires hard work and is inevitable for anyone.
"Spectral glimpse!"
With a low cry, seven sword-swinging movements were carried out in succession, completed in just two breaths. The power of Qi and blood surged, moved in a strange way, and then exploded.
Draw your sword!
A sword shot out, the sword light was dazzling, and it split into two in an instant, stabbing out from the left and right. Those two sword lights were both real, leaving traces of light in the air, and dissipated after one breath.
"It's still not enough. At least you have to practice to the point where you can use the power of Qi and blood when holding a sword, and you can cast a spectral shadow when you draw a sword. Only then can you be considered a beginner." Chen Zong said secretly: "It is indeed more difficult to practice than the foundation-building martial arts."
Continue to practice and let your body remember the feeling of the power of qi and blood running until your arms are sore and weak.
After returning to the house and taking a short rest, Chen Zong began to practice the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu.
The three beast blood pills have been eaten long ago. Without the beast blood pills, the power of qi and blood increases very slowly.
"I have to find a way to get more animal blood pills."
After practicing the Fierce Tiger Kung Fu, Chen Zong began to think.
After officially becoming a warrior, the contribution point system of the clan hall will be started.
Contribution points are very useful and can be exchanged for martial arts training qualifications, weapons and pills.
The contribution points required to redeem one beast blood pill are ten. The contribution points owned by those who have just become warriors and started the contribution point system are generally zero.
It stands to reason that Chen Zong tempered his blood energy seven times, breaking the Chen family's previous record and creating a new record. Such a talent should be focused on being cultivated by the family hall, but unfortunately, the Chen family's philosophy is not like this.
No matter who they are, no matter how talented they are, they will be treated equally when entering the clan hall.
The Chen family believes that a real tiger will sooner or later show its power as the king of beasts. Otherwise, it will only be lost to the public.
If a tiger wants to become a king, he must go through battles; if a man wants to become a talent, he must go through hard work.
Furthermore, Chen Zong did not tell anyone about the fact that he had tempered his blood energy seven times. Elder Xing just thought that he had tempered it six times.
"Whether you want to obtain more beast blood pills or practice better martial arts, it is inseparable from contribution points."
"There is not one way to obtain contribution points. If you have enough strength, you can hunt monsters and exchange contribution points with the clan hall. However, for me now, this is obviously a bit premature."
Now, he has just broken through to the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm, and has just started to practice human-level martial arts. Both his cultivation and strength are in a relatively rapid improvement period, and it is not suitable to go out.
"Then, the second method is to find some tasks in the clan hall."
"Perhaps I should go to the main headquarters area and have a look."
There is a task room in the main headquarters area, which will list some related tasks. As long as the descendants of the clan can take them, after completing them, they will be rewarded with corresponding contribution points.
Chen Zong carefully scanned the task panel on the wall.
"Looking for the Silver Thread Root. Note: The Silver Thread Root is a second-grade herbal medicine and can be exchanged for twenty contribution points."
"Looking for Jinluo Flower. Note: Jinluo Flower is a third-grade herb and can be exchanged for forty contribution points."
"Looking for Silver Trifoliate Ginseng. Note: Silver Trifoliate Ginseng is a fourth-grade herbal medicine and can be exchanged for 80 contribution points."
Most of them are tasks of finding medicinal herbs.
The grades of herbal medicines are divided into nine grades. First-grade herbs refer to herbs that are more than ten years old and less than twenty years old, second-grade herbs refer to herbs that are more than twenty years old and less than thirty years old, third-grade herbs refer to herbs that are more than thirty years old but not more than forty years ago, and so on.
, Jiupin herbal medicine refers to those aged between 90 and 100 years old.
When it reaches a hundred years, the medicinal properties of the herbal medicine will change qualitatively, and it will become a precious medicine.
In search of herbal medicines, one often has to go into deep mountains and old forests, which is quite time-consuming.
Other tasks are to hunt down some specific monsters and obtain certain parts of their bodies to bring back to the clan, thereby gaining contribution points.
Whether it was looking for herbs or hunting monsters, Chen Zong ruled it out for the time being.
Then, there are not many tasks left.
After much deliberation, Chen Zong finally chose a mission.
"Apprentices in the foundry, depending on their performance, can receive ten to one hundred contribution points every month."
"Are you sure you want this task?" The administrator of the task room looked at Chen Zong in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zong asked.
"There were quite a few people who accepted this task before, but they were kicked out within less than a month and could not get any contribution points." The administrator said: "I advise you to change the task."
"Is there any reason?" Chen Zong asked again.
"Haha, the elder of the foundry has a bad temper, and his requirements are relatively high and difficult to meet." The administrator smiled.
"Thanks for letting me know, I want to give it a try." Chen Zong still said, it's not his style to retreat without giving it a try.
"It's up to you." The administrator registered Chen Zong, then took out a black iron plate and handed it to Chen Zong: "This is the apprenticeship plate of the foundry. Take it with you to Elder Lie of the foundry. He will arrange it for you."
Specific tasks.”
"Excuse me." Chen Zong took the iron sign and left.
The iron plate is shaped like a shield, with the raised word "cast" engraved on one side and the image of a hammer on the other side.
"What's wrong with not having a good temper?"
"How can it be a high-level law if the requirements are relatively high?"
Chen Zong muttered as he strode towards the foundry. The foundry also belonged to the main headquarters area and was not far from the mission room.
The door of the foundry was black and tightly closed when Chen Zong knocked.
"Who?" the voice came out, and the door was opened, revealing an honest-looking face, who seemed to be in his twenties. Suspicious eyes fell on Chen Zong's face: "Who are you? What's the matter?
"
"I am the new apprentice." Chen Zong raised the iron plate in his hand to signal.
"Oh, someone else dares to take on this task." As he said that, the man opened all the doors and let Chen Zong in: "My name is Chen Wuhou, and I have been here for six months."
"His name is Chen Qi, and he has been here for three months." Chen Wuhou pointed at another person in the foundry and smiled.
Chen Qi was wiping a long knife. Hearing this, he glanced at Chen Zong, his face expressionless.
"Hello brothers, my name is Chen Zong." Chen Zong introduced himself.
"I'm not interested in knowing your name, because you will be driven away soon." Chen Qi said in a very arrogant tone.
"Haha, brother, don't mind, he just has this temper." Chen Wuhou tried to smooth things over, but Chen Zong just smiled and didn't care.
"Brother Wuhou, where is Elder Lie?" Chen Zong asked.
"Wait a minute, Elder Lie is forging swords in the forging room." Chen Wuhou pointed to the closed black heavy iron door in front of him and said.
Chen Zong waited with peace of mind. After Chen Wuhou poured a glass of water for Chen Zong, he also picked up the sword and wiped it carefully like Chen Qi, while Chen Zong watched on the side.
The swords here include both mortal iron and fine iron grades, but there is no precious iron grade above the fine iron grade.
About half an hour later, the heavy iron door opened, and a wave of heat surged out, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly. Then, a figure who was not tall but very strong strode out.
This man's skin was like bronze, his eyes were like copper bells, his black hair and beard were a little curly, his arms were bare, and his muscles were like steel poured into iron. He contained terrifying power and immediately brought Chen Zong a sense of power.
This kind of indescribable oppression, as if one look could suppress him, and one finger could blast him to pieces.
"Elder Lie, this person's name is Chen Zong, and he is a new apprentice." Chen Wuhou put down his sword and said to the people who came out of the casting room, his tone was respectful.
"Elder Lie." Chen Zong took out the black iron plate and handed it to Elder Lie.
"Little arms and legs, here comes another useless one. You'd better get out as soon as possible to avoid making me angry." Elder Lie glanced at the iron plate, and then quickly looked at Chen Zong, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong, with a very serious tone.
rush.
"Elder Lie hasn't given me a task yet, so how do you know whether I am useful or not?" Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
"Hey, I'm a little brave, good. Since you want a mission, I'll give it to you. If you do well, you'll stay, if you don't, get out." Elder Lie seemed to be amused and said in a vicious tone: "I'll give you ten days.
Time, if you hit a piece of ordinary iron, you can keep it, otherwise, roll as far as you want, Chen Wuhou, you will teach him the four key points of blacksmithing."
"Yes, elder." Chen Wuhou responded respectfully.
"Chen Qi, wipe the sword and send it to the shop." Elder Lie said and walked away.
"Sure enough, he has a bad temper." Chen Zong said to himself, but he didn't care. He had heard all the ugly words.
"It is impossible to forge a piece of mortal iron in ten days. It will take at least a month to master the four key points of blacksmithing. Brother, I advise you not to waste time. It is better to go to the studio to clear the tasks.
"Chen Wuhou persuaded.
"I still want to give it a try and ask Brother Wuhou to teach me." Chen Zong said seriously.
"Since you insist, come with me." Chen Wuhou said, leading Chen Zong into the casting room.
The casting room is very large and the indoor temperature is very high. There are a total of three furnaces placed in three directions, but only the largest one burns with blazing flames. The other two people take turns pulling the bellows and throwing in firewood to keep the fire strong.
"Brother Chen Zong, I will explain to you the four key points of blacksmithing. After you master it, you can start to make ordinary iron blocks." Chen Wuhou led Chen Zong to an extinguished furnace, picked up a piece of iron ore and began to demonstrate.
