19 (Thanks to my brother for calling the Tri-fold Alliance Leader)
Inside the Qinghe Palace.
The beam of light slants, illuminating the colorful murals around it.
The gilded golden statue of the God of Wealth sits in the center, wearing a green robe, a crown on his head, and holding Ruyi in his hand.
Below, several Taoists and pilgrims knelt on futons, kowtowed gently and recited scriptures.
One of the young Taoists wrapped his left hand around his right hand, made a fist and kowtowed.
This is the gesture used by Taoists to worship gods, which means carrying the yin and embracing the yang.
"Junior brother Zhang is really pious. Every time he comes back from an inspection, he will come to the temple to pay homage."
Senior Brother Wenxiu on the side waited for him to finish praying, then smiled and said softly.
The young Taoist worshiper had a rosy complexion, a strong figure, and a slightly delicate appearance. It was Zhang Rongfang who had just snatched the man from the mountainside.
"Senior brother, you are joking. I am grateful to the God of Wealth for blessing me. If I occasionally get rich, it would be more practical to pay my respects." Zhang Rongfang said seriously.
"Did you find money?" The senior brother laughed.
Zhang Rongfang shook his head: "Just a little bit."
After worshiping the God of Wealth, he stood up, nodded to the Taoists around him, bowed respectfully to the hall master on the side, and then turned around and left.
When Zhang Rongfang walked out of the main hall, he took a quick look.
Throughout the Taoist palace, servant disciples were coming and going in a hurry.
The practicing disciples strolled leisurely and felt much more peaceful.
Most of the experienced Taoist masters and deacons have a dignified demeanor, and they often have a great demeanor when walking.
Finally, there are the pilgrims who come to the main hall to worship the gods.
From the mountain gate to the Caishen Hall, Lingguan Hall, and Xuanxin Hall, three different flows of people are formed in these three places.
Among them, Xuanxin Hall has the largest number of people.
Among the guests coming and going, there were those who were rich and well-dressed, and there were also those who were poor and downcast.
Occasionally, if a noble person appears, he will be led aside by the Taoist to receive him specially.
Most of them come to Xuanxin Hall to seek peace.
Zhang Rongfang paused for a moment, looked at the poor-looking civilian pilgrims, and understood.
Nowadays, officials all over the world are corrupt, officials and businessmen in various places collude, and landlords and officials work together to exploit the common people.
If his predecessor's sister, Zhang Rongyu, had not sought Taoist status, he would probably have fallen into the same situation as them.
It might even be worse.
With a quiet sigh, Zhang Rongfang quickly walked down the mountain.
Today's harvest is just in time to buy different other prescriptions.
First, she went to report to her master Xiao Rong. Now Xiao Qingying is more likely to be followed by another handyman disciple.
Zhang Rongfang was vaguely wary of him.
So I agreed to the leave immediately.
Zhang Rongfang didn't know what to say about this. After all, he killed two bandits with a bear trap last time, and there were too many doubts about it.
No matter how you look at it, he is not as simple and brave as he appears.
More than an hour later, Zhang Rongfang bought eight blood-tonifying prescriptions from various pharmacies in Huaxin County.
Not only did he get back his own money from that old guy Zheng Zhonglin, he also got an additional fifty taels.
In addition to the 170 taels given by the cheap sister’s husband, we have a total of 220 taels!
For Zhang Rongfang, who only had five taels before, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
He planned to turn them all into attribute points to improve himself as quickly as possible.
In a country as strict and hierarchical as Great Spirit, only when you are strong is the real last word.
After buying a large package of medicine in one go, Zhang Rongfang quickly returned to the Qinghe Palace with it and started to boil the medicine without saying a word.
Since Xiao Rong doesn't trust him much anymore, he might as well concentrate on his own business.
Anyway, as long as Xiao Rong didn't take the initiative to look for him, he would never go there again.
For more than half a month, Zhang Rongfang practiced martial arts every day. Except for morning and evening classes, the rest of the time was spent preparing medicine and practicing martial arts.
There are those that directly replenish blood, such as Jinxue Pills, those that replenish qi and indirectly replenish blood, such as Rongqi Decoction, and those that replenish the spleen and stomach to strengthen the ability to digest food and replenish blood, etc.
The formulas had different ideas. Zhang Rongfang tried them one by one and finally determined that the formula that worked best for him was a formula called Hongqi Decoction.
It mainly nourishes blood and supplements Qi, which has the best effect.
At that moment, after he tested the effect, he exchanged all his money for the medicine packet of Hongqi Decoction.
This prescription can significantly shorten the time it takes him to accumulate attribute points to about ten days.
And the red qi soup bought with all the money is enough to last three months!
Three months is enough to save nine points!
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of November.
Zhang Rongfang poured the water out of the basin.
Next to him, Dong Dafang was practicing hard in the room, and the sound of his fists and feet could be heard from outside the room.
Returning to the room with the basin in hand, Zhang Rongfang glanced at the attribute bar below his field of vision.
After these hours of training, he was quite at a loss as to where to start.
There are already a few more attribute points.
but....
The Yue type talisman can no longer be added.
He is not sure whether the next stage of the Yue-shaped Talisman requires more attribute points? Or the Yue-shaped Talisman can only be added to this level and cannot be added anymore.
The thirty-two movements of the Yue-shaped Talisman were now in Zhang Rongfang's mind, as if they had been practiced for many years and turned into instinct.
My understanding of each move is far better than before.
Moreover, the improvement of the body has also reached the level of muscle strengthening.
I just haven't competed with anyone outside, so I don't know what level my current actual combat strength is in the muscle-forging martial arts.
Zhang Rongfang thought of this and looked at the attribute column again.
The plus sign behind the Yue type talisman is still there.
He suspected that this talisman should be able to add more points, but the required attribute points were no longer one, but more.
At that moment, he walked to the bed, picked up a bowl of hot medicinal soup from the table, raised his head and drank it all.
After drinking, he picked up the coarse-grain steamed buns and dried meat he brought back from the canteen, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them up and swallowed them.
While eating, he thought that maybe he could slowly show progress now in order to obtain the training method of the second talisman.
‘The teaching of the Talisman of Rejuvenation and Purity can only be obtained from Xiao Rong. But Xiao Rong seems to have a problem with his mind. He is now suspicious of me and no longer trusts me.
I have to think of a way to see if I can get martial arts from other places.’
The strict system of the Qinghe Palace made Zhang Rongfang slightly worried, and he began to think about whether to practice martial arts in addition to the Hui Chun Jing Shi Fu Dian.
But before he could think of a way out, a sudden warmth came from his chest and abdomen.
At this critical moment, new attribute points actually condensed!
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the attribute column.
‘Zhang Rongfang—Life 13-13.
Skills: Rejuvenation and Purification Time Talisman - Yue Shaping Talisman (perfection), Observation of Void Skills (first level of essence).
Available attributes: 2.’
"The increase in the lower limit of life is the result of my self-training during this period, and the new attribute points...can it improve the current Yue-shaped talisman?"
Zhang Rongfang hesitated for a moment, tried to concentrate again, and imagined tapping the plus sign behind the Yue-shaped talisman.
laugh.
This time, there seemed to be some noise in his mind.
The words behind the Yue-shaped symbol disappeared immediately.
This time, Zhang Rongfang only felt a little tightness in his body, and Qi and blood were flowing rapidly throughout his body.
There are no other symptoms except fever.
Soon, the property bar was updated.
‘Zhang Rongfang—Life 15-15.
Skills: Rejuvenation and Purification Time Talisman - Yue Shape Talisman (Limit Breaking) (Limit Breaking Skill: Heavy Mountain), Observation of Virtual Reality (First Level of Fine Aperture).
Available attributes: 0.’
"His life increased by two points! And there is an additional limit-breaking skill!?" Zhang Rongfang opened his eyes wide.
He has never heard of it. What kind of limit-breaking skills are there?
Breaking through the limit once is considered to be a top-level martial arts, but among the top-level martial arts practitioners, neither Zhang Xintai nor Zhao Dacong mentioned any other limit-breaking skills.
Before he could calm down.
A sudden torrent of memories rushed into his mind.
Zhang Rongfang held his head with both hands, lowered his head and couldn't help but moan softly in pain.
In his memory, he frantically trained the Yue Xing Fu day and night, and finally, in an accident, he suddenly broke through and broke his own limit.
At the same time, all the moves of the Yue Xing Fu that he practiced, at that moment, were so complete and perfect that they merged into one state.
In that state, he accidentally learned a special technique called Heavy Mountain.
This technique can unleash a speed and power that is 70% to 80% higher than one's own in one move, and its power is astonishing.
After more than ten minutes, the pain in Zhang Rongfang's mind slowly subsided.
His body shape has also changed again. From being just a little strong before, he has transformed into a particularly strong upper body, especially his arms, where the muscles are knotted and look like tree roots bulging when exerting force.
'Is the heavy mountain effective at this time?'
Zhang Rongfang raised his arms and made fists, feeling even stronger than before.
But the increase is not much. The biggest change is in the skin.
He stretched out his hand and touched his skin. The surface seemed to be covered with a thin layer of cutin, which was flexible and elastic, but relatively rough.
Standing up, he faced the ground head-on and punched lightly.
No pain at all.
"Is this the effect of breaking the limit?"
Zhang Rongfang carefully checked other parts of his body, but unfortunately, there was no such phenomenon elsewhere, only his arms, knees, insteps and soles.
'Isn't this similar to the calluses that naturally covered your body after you exercised a lot in your previous life?'
He suddenly understood.
At this time, he looked at the attribute column again, and the plus sign behind the Yue-shaped symbol finally disappeared.
This should mean that it cannot continue to improve.
"Too weak..." Zhang Rongfang was slightly disappointed.
"Except for a few parts, the other parts have the same defense as ordinary people. At most, they have more muscle and fat, so they can carry more weight. No wonder high-level masters can't beat young masters when they get older."
Although the improvement was not as strong as he expected, he was promoted to the top grade in one breath, and Zhang Rongfang felt inexplicably eager to try it out.
He has been hiding his strength and suppressing himself for so long. He has never been able to use his martial arts. Now that he has finally reached the rank, he has some ability to protect himself.
He also couldn't help but want to try something.
Just no chance.
It has only been a year since he started practicing martial arts.
It took only one year to reach the top grade. This speed is even more exaggerated compared to a genius like Zhou Ze.
"I can improve my progress a little. In addition, now I urgently need actual combat training to improve my fighting experience. Otherwise, no matter how high I am in training, I will die if someone hits my weak point."
Zhang Rongfang thinks very realistically.
Without actual combat experience, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will easily suffer losses.
"Perhaps, we can go talk to Senior Sister later."
No matter what happened to Xiao Rong, Zhao Dacong was still quite down-to-earth and took good care of his junior brothers and sisters.
Soon, the lunch break was over, and Zhang Rongfang immediately went to the dojo to find Zhao Dancong.
During normal free time, Zhao Dacong would practice martial arts at the martial arts dojo in order to achieve a faster breakthrough.
She was born with great strength, and after practicing so hard, it was normal for her to reach the second level now.
When Zhang Rongfang found her, Zhao Dacong was fighting with a yellow-haired Taoist with a sallow complexion and dull eyes.
The two people were sparsely surrounded by the other Taoists in a circle, standing in the middle, their fists almost turned into shadows, and they exchanged blows very quickly.
The crackling sounds of blows continued to explode. Standing ten meters away, Zhang Rongfang could feel the breeze brought by the fists and feet of the two men.
The winter sunlight was thin and white, and the dust from the collision between the two men floated and scattered in the dry air.
It also made the two people compete fiercely.
"What's going on? Who is Senior Sister Zhao fighting against?" Zhang Rongfang saw Li Fuhua standing in the crowd, so he leaned over and asked softly.
He, Dong Dafang, Xu Mingyu, and Li Fuhua have always been a small group practicing martial arts together.
It can be regarded as a way to stay together in many small groups to avoid being bullied.
Li Fuhua is still practicing Yue Xing Fu, and she has just started. But unlike Xu Mingyu, a black man, she is usually very popular and well-informed.
