In his left hand he held a wooden cup filled with prepared milk tea, while his right index finger tapped the armrest of the rocking chair.
A black spot the size of a fat soybean appeared on the back of my right hand.
"Courage accumulates too slowly." Chen Mu shook his head.
In order to increase the speed of nourishing his soul, he combined meat and vegetables every day, ate a lot of high-nutrition food, and used cooking skills to make it easy to absorb.
During this period, various soups and medicines are also taken in a fixed amount to replenish vital energy.
But after half a year, the strength of the soles of the feet has increased by less than 10%. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see the change!
"Something's wrong." Chen Mu frowned.
"Why is it that when you succeed in practicing the form technique, a large amount of spirit suddenly appears?"
“Subsequent expansion, however, requires nurturing bit by bit.”
"The speeds of appearance of these two are different!" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
If you can figure out the principle behind it, maybe you can find a way to quickly develop Armor Soul!
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Just practice with peace of mind first."
The history of the practice of body shape has been unknown for many years. If there really is such a secret method, even if it is very secret, you will have heard of it.
"It's a pity that old man Jie is not here." Chen Mu missed the old man again.
Although he is a money-grubber, he knows a lot.
……
Lijiang Tower.
Zhuo Yinghai stood at the window on the third floor and looked out at the vast Li River.
"Master Zhuo, long time no see!" A short, fat, dark-faced man in his forties walked into the private room with a loud laugh.
"Master Li." Zhuo Yinghai responded with a forced smile.
This person is Li Jun, the leader of the Fuhai Hall of the Jinghong Gang. He is one of the leaders sent by the Jinghong Gang to take charge.
"I heard that Feng'er was in trouble?" Li Jun asked with concern.
"So I came here." Zhuo Yinghai said solemnly.
Li Jun frowned, "Is the murderer in Lijiang City? Do you have his identity information?"
Zhuo Yinghai nodded, and one of his men immediately took out a scroll and unfolded it.
Li Jun took a look at it, took it and handed it to his men behind him: "Go check this person."
"Thank you!" Zhuo Yinghai clasped his fists and bowed.
Li Jun waved his hand: "You are just an outsider. Given our friendship, it's just a piece of cake."
"Don't worry. I, Li Jun, still have some face in Lijiang City. As long as this person comes to Lijiang City, I will definitely find him for you!"
"Go and settle down at my place first. When we find out about this person, I'll go with you to meet him!" Li Jun said in a deep voice.
Zhuo Yinghai clasped his fists again to express his gratitude.
……
Chen's House in Yongtongfang.
While Chen Mu was practicing the White Ape Shape Training Technique, he began to take stock of his assets.
"There are still 5,329 taels of silver and 11 gold cakes left. They are going away so fast."
"It's not my own money, so I don't feel bad about spending it." Chen Mu curled his lips.
Renting a large amount of houses is secondary. The biggest expense is medicinal materials, secret medicines for body training, and various tonics.
A piece of hundred-year-old Thousand-bearded Grass costs more than one hundred taels, so two hundred years would cost three hundred taels.
In order to replenish his energy and nourish his spirit, Chen Mu consumes two to three portions of 200-year-old Thousand-bearded Grass every month.
"It really costs money to cultivate courage." Chen Mu sighed.
It is hard to imagine how many resources those Jiapo masters put into it.
He felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as massive.
"The hidden dangers of the Dragon Transformation Pill really cannot be eliminated?" Chen Mu couldn't help but waver.
"Forget it. I can't be too eager for quick success and ruin my future." Chen Mu shook his head.
He is still very interested in the opening of the Heavenly Gate after Jiapo.
After putting away the silver bills and copper coins, Chen Mu moved a long table under the pavilion, picked up the paintbrush for the first time in a long time and started painting.
After a while, the abstract pattern connected by spots and silk lines was completed.
"It is said that the divine intention is the core of the form training technique, but what exactly is this divine intention?"
He also drew the divine intention of the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's shape-training technique. Chen Mu looked at the two meaningless abstract paintings and pondered them.
After a long while, Chen Mu sighed, "I really can't see anything."
"It's better to just eat and nourish your soul."
My eyes habitually glanced at the proficiency.
I found that my drawing ability improved by two points.
What does that mean? Chen Mu was confused.
In the past, when you were brushing up on image proficiency, even if you just casually drew a big cartoon head, you could get five or six points of proficiency.
"You said my painting doesn't look like it?" Chen Mu stared at Shen Yi thoughtfully.
“That’s a bit interesting…”
……
In a large house with five courtyards by the river, Li Jun was drinking tea with Zhuo Yinghai in the living room.
Zhuo Yinghai looked listless and had no interest.
Five days passed without any news, and he was about to give up.
Well, how could someone who could endure the pain of having his bones cut and flesh filled leave such obvious flaws?
They said they came to Lijiang City, but they might leave immediately after getting off the boat.
Li Jun didn't know what to say. His old friend's son had died, so he could only intensify the search.
Unfortunately, the results were unsatisfactory.
At this time, a subordinate rushed in, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Master, I found it!"
"Hurry up and speak!" Zhuo Yinghai stood up.
He thought he was looking for a needle in a haystack, but he actually found it.
"Xiao Wu from the county government office said that a scholar named Chen Jia rented a yard in Yongtongfang more than a month ago."
"The information was registered by the clerk at Xue's Dental Clinic."
“That person is also from Liangpu County.”
Zhuo Yinghai's face was filled with excitement.
It matches. The name, ancestral home and time all match!
He got up and went to Yongtongfang.
Li Jun quickly stopped him.
"Even if you want to go, you can't go now. You're really not in the right condition." Li Jun said, looking at the other person's bloodshot eyes.
"It's been over a month. If that person is still here, he will continue to be here."
"What you should do is get a good night's sleep and conserve your energy. This will also be convenient for me to gather experts and ambush that person from all sides."
Zhuo Yinghai took a deep breath and stopped: "You are right. We must not alert the enemy. We must conserve our energy and strike hard!"
……
Yongtongfang, Chen’s house.
Chen Mu stared at the long table intently.
"The freehand painting method is not right either." Chen Mu was puzzled.
He originally thought that mysterious things like God's will should focus more on meaning than form.
So I changed the way I painted it.
He felt that his painting was very good and that he clearly expressed the vague, hazy and dynamic feeling.
But it didn't increase his proficiency at all.
"It's becoming more and more interesting." Chen Mu became interested.
Drawing ability comes from the earliest self-portraits. Improving proficiency involves many aspects, such as drawing skills, paper, and pigments.
But the most important point is the similarity, which is related to the original intention of Chen Mu's portrait.
He wanted to draw a picture that looked like a three-dimensional photograph, the more realistic the better. Therefore, drawing skills are linked to similarity.
The more realistic the drawing is, the more your proficiency will improve.
"Could it be that my divine intention is a fake?!" Chen Mu felt a little numb in his head.
"What's up with the divine intentions in the secret book?"
He immediately took out the Green-Eyed Golden Ape's Shape Training Technique and copied the tangled pattern at the end of the secret book.
"Only a little more?"
"Good guy."
"This is also a fake one!"
