Chapter 75: Cultivate a wisp of white ape power!
Chapter 75: Cultivate a trace of white ape power!
June and July are the rainy seasons.
There is also a saying in Gaoliu County that goes, "If a ditch opens in July, drizzle will continue until autumn."
But after June, Gaoliu County has not seen any rain, and many farmers are worried that their harvest will be affected.
"It's a sunny day. I wonder if it will rain today..."
In the small courtyard, Li Yuan put down the wind-breaking hammer, sweating all over.
After taking off his clothes, washing them, and hanging them on the clothes rack, Li Yuan washed his face, changed his clothes, and went out to work.
A top-grade sharp blade is not easy to make. It would take at least three months to make twelve of them. He couldn't afford to delay.
As soon as he went out, Li Yuan met the dejected Fatty Sun. He greeted him and the latter responded reluctantly.
"What are you doing?"
Li Yuan followed him into the house, still a little worried, but after a while, he heard snoring.
"Yu Zhen has withdrawn. So, there are only a dozen people led by Cao Yan left in Fajiu Mountain?"
More than three months ago, Cao Yan mobilized several nearby counties, and most of the apprentices left the city, but not long after, several forces withdrew. Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming were among those who returned.
Yu Zhen was the last one. His return meant that Cao Yan was the only one left outside the city...
"Are you really hiding?"
Li Yuan shook his head in his heart.
After a short delay, the sky brightened and there were more pedestrians on the road. Li Yuan was no longer in a hurry and went to his usual breakfast stall.
"Unfortunately, Brother Li..."
From a distance, the stall owner came over with a helpless look on his face.
But Li Yuan saw it without him saying anything.
There was a person sitting on the stall. Thick steamers were stacked more than a person high. He could stuff hot meat buns as big as a fist into one mouthful, and he drank rice soup as if it was free.
The man was about thirty years old, not tall, with a black knife hanging from his waist and a sallow face. He looked a bit like Yu Zhen.
"Knife catcher?"
Li Yuan didn't care and prepared to go to another restaurant to eat something, but he habitually moved two meters closer.
"Ok?"
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and glanced at him with a cold look.
So surprised?
Li Yuan hurriedly stepped back a few steps and left, but he was shocked.
[Human Skin Mask (Level 2)]
[A soft-bottomed mask made of hundred-year-old white cloud and white treasure mud mixed with gray spirit loach, which can be used to copy other people's faces...]
[Control conditions: Master the bone shrinking skill]
[Control Effect: Perfect Bone Shrinking Skill, Disguise, Ordinary]
The middle-aged man's sword was also level two, but compared to this mask, it was nothing. Li Yuan was instantly attracted to it.
This is not just a mask, it's a magical weapon!
Li Yuan was shocked and his eyes were filled with jealousy.
With this mask combined with the Weapon Control Talisman, he can transform into a different person in a matter of minutes!
"Wait a minute!"
A voice came from behind, and the middle-aged man walked over.
"This hero?"
Li Yuan quickly raised his head and glanced, he was surprised, at such a close distance, he couldn't tell that the man was wearing a mask.
It's simply a work of art!
"What hero?"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I am Li Ba from Zhelong Prefecture. I passed by here and heard that you have a Bodhisattva temple that is very effective?"
Your dad!
Li Yuan almost wanted to take out his wind-breaking hammer and hit him.
But he still pinched his nose and pointed the way for him: "The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is in the inner city. Just ask anyone in the city and they will know the way..."
"Thank you!"
The middle-aged man who called himself Li Ba threw two copper coins over and turned to go to the inner city.
"Where does this person come from?"
Li Yuan took the copper coin and put it into his sleeve, feeling a little confused.
Would a serious ghostwriter go out wearing a mask?
And this name sounds so fake...
"He's a notorious bandit, right?"
Li Yuan was a little curious about this man's identity, mainly because he was jealous of the mask, but he didn't think much of it and walked quickly towards the weapon forging shop.
He estimated that the White Ape's strength would only be developed in the next two days, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
……
……
"His breathing is steady and his blood and qi are vigorous. I'm afraid that boy's physique is not bad?"
The middle-aged Li Ba, wearing a sword, was thinking in his mind.
He walked very fast and soon reached the inner city. After asking a few people, he arrived at the street outside the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple.
From afar, you can see a temple with a lot of incense, and monks coming and going.
The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is naturally very popular, not only from the inner and outer cities, but also from the towns and villages outside the city. There are many people who come to worship, most of them are couples.
The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva is said to be very effective in bringing children.
"Send a child?"
Li Ba curled his lips and blended into the crowd.
……
……
Arriving at the forging shop, Li Yuan was going to go to the warehouse to select ore first. When passing by the inner courtyard, he saw Yu Zhen and Yue Yunjin, who seemed to be talking intimately.
"He wants to win over Senior Brother Yue?"
Li Yuan didn't care and went to the warehouse to select the ore and iron materials to be used today.
When I came back, I saw Yue Yunjin standing there alone, and I couldn't help but feel curious.
"Senior Brother Yue?"
Li Yuan patted his arm: "Are you okay?"
"what?"
Yue Yunjin came back to his senses, shook his head, and his face turned ugly: "He... is fine, he is fine."
"The magic of the gods?"
Li Yuan seemed to have guessed something.
"Um……"
Yue Yunjin's face turned blue.
He had not expected that the nominal second shopkeeper would actually drug him at the gate of the inner courtyard. He was caught off guard and fell for it. "Is this really a magic trick?"
Li Yuan later asked someone about the so-called method of confusing gods. It was a despicable method used in the underworld, similar to the drugs used in his previous life.
Those who take Chinese medicine will be in a trance and will answer any question. However, as long as they have a firm mind, they will not be affected, so torture will not be necessary.
"Senior Brother Yue's will is a little weak... Maybe he took too many drugs?"
This thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and he asked:
"What did he ask you?"
"he……"
Yue Yunjin looked around, his face still looking very bad:
"He asked me who stayed in the jungle the longest when we were hunting down Nian Jiu at Fajiu Mountain..."
"Ok?"
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Brother Yue, what did you say?"
Yue Yunjin frowned and shook his head:
"I do not remember……"
"..."
Yue Yunjin, who was in a very bad mood, turned and left, leaving Li Yuan, who was also in a very bad mood.
"This poisonous snake is really haunting!"
Li Yuan thought about it and realized that he came back early that day, but it was really unpleasant to be remembered by others.
"Li Yuan!"
At this time, Zhang Ben came over.
"immediately!"
Li Yuan responded and quickly returned to the forging room.
"These days, we have to hurry up and work hard. It doesn't matter if something breaks. We can try more and gain experience."
Zhang Ben was holding a blueprint. Li Yuan glanced at it and thought it looked like a hammer soldier.
"Disciple knows."
Li Yuan didn't bother to ask more questions. He picked up the forging hammer and started hammering.
Ore dressing, iron forging, quenching...
To make a top-quality sharp blade, one must start from scratch. Although Li Yuan is considered fast, it still takes him eight or nine days to make one.
Seeing how diligent he was, Zhang Ben nodded in his heart and continued to look at the drawings. Each of the top-grade sharp blades was worth a thousand taels, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Li Yuan was hammering the pig iron, but his mind was somewhat distracted:
"The boiling of Qi and blood generates internal strength, and a little strength is hidden in the Qi and blood... White Ape Strength requires the violent movement of Qi and blood, and it is best to have a powerful medicine to assist. Well, I have kept a top-grade Yuan-replenishing Pill."
……
……
At night, the sky was dark and the moon was not visible, and it seemed as if dark clouds were gathering.
call!
call!
The wind was howling in the courtyard.
Li Yuan had not slept all night. He was moving in the yard, holding a 1.8-meter-long hammer in his hand, dancing in the air with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"call!"
"Suck!"
The hammer weighing a hundred pounds moved around his body, but Li Yuan's breathing remained steady. He used the Ape Six Breathing Method one after another to move the energy and blood throughout his body.
The Qi and blood circulate throughout the body, and one circulation can mobilize more Qi and blood, leading to faster recovery and greater endurance.
Li Yuan can dance with the hammer for nearly two hours at a time.
"call!"
The heavy hammer fell down silently like straw falling to the ground. Li Yuan opened his mouth and exhaled the foul air, and sweat rose from his whole body.
But he only rested for a short while before he raised the hammer again, breaking through the air, and performing his cloak hammer moves like flowing water.
Eighteen hammers, thirty-six hammers!
When the White Ape Cloak Hammer is fully developed, it can stack the power of eighteen hammers, and when it is perfected, it can stack as many as thirty-six hammers.
Each hammer was more powerful than the last, and when the thirty-six hammers were combined, the sound of breaking through the air was like the roar of thunder, which was frightening to hear.
Kakakka~
Li Yuan didn't stop yet. He twisted his waist and moved like a whirlwind. The huge force of the hammer made his muscles and bones make a "cracking" sound, as if he couldn't bear the weight.
But he still didn't stop. Instead, when the hammer force reached its peak, he swallowed the 'Superior Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill' that he had been holding in his mouth for half the night.
"More than three months ago, my blood and qi had already matured. If I hadn't waited for the blood and qi to circulate, I would have been able to develop the White Ape Power long ago!"
"Perfect hammer technique, great circulation of qi and blood, superior root bones, replenishing essence pills..."
"Make a concerted effort and unleash the 'White Ape Force'!"
Before internal strength, there are only four steps: entry, mastery, minor success, major success, perfection and great perfection, which are not conventional realms at all.
Li Yuan already had a wasp waist and monkey arms, so there was no need for him to pursue perfection.
In other words, the acquired change of one's bones means that the hammer method has reached perfection.
Gudong!
Like a stone falling into a well.
Li Yuan only felt a heat rising in his abdomen. The qi and blood, which had already been stimulated by the hammer technique and were flowing very fast, accelerated again as if he had taken a strong medicine.
"Humph!"
Even though he was well prepared, Li Yuan still couldn't help but groan. He felt as if he was on fire and his pores were spewing fire.
The blood has boiled to an extremely high level!
Wow~
For a moment, Li Yuan even thought he heard the sound of his own blood flowing.
Click!
In the night, there was a streak of lightning, followed by a rumbling thunder.
"Wow!"
In the small courtyard, Li Yuan, whose whole body was red, was shocked and opened his eyes at the sound of a white ape's angry roar.
Strands of white sweat floated up from his body, as if the high temperature was evaporating the sweat.
"White Ape Power?"
Li Yuan spread out his palms, the red color gradually faded, but he could feel a more real force, different from blood and energy, gathering in his palms.
boom!
He suddenly bent down and slammed his sweaty fist heavily on the bluestone on the ground.
Click!
The bluestone paving in the courtyard suddenly cracked!
White ape power, it worked!
Rumble!
Li Yuan shook off his slightly aching palms, raised his head, and saw dark clouds gathering.
"It is going to rain……"
Putting the Wind-Breaking Hammer back into the military control space, Li Yuan stepped into the house.
He took out a set of gray linen clothes from under the bed,
And a rag.
