Chapter 249 Another World
Chapter 249 Another World
Health stove!
The fog dissipated, the dragon stele disappeared, and Li Yuan opened his eyes in the courtyard, but he was certain in his heart.
In the past few months, thanks to the spies from the Zhaixing Tower and the Evil God Cult in the city, many Dragon and Tiger disciples came to him to repair their weapons, and he knew some information of all kinds.
For example, there are other opportunities and fortunes for the top 100 dragons and tigers. He had previously guessed that it might be related to the secret realm of the health furnace. Now it seems that it is true.
As for the evaluation of "the best among men", Li Yuan estimated that this did not take into account the blessing of his own military skills.
Otherwise, even if he is not 'unparalleled in the world', he can at least be called a 'peerless talent', right?
"Dao Zong is really magnanimous. That's right. Even if they knew that the health furnace was in Longhu Temple, who in the world could snatch it away?"
Li Yuan let out a long sigh and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, because he had already seen the familiar light of weapon.
"Gong Jiuchuan is back!"
Li Yuan stood up and walked back to the house slowly, guessing that it was caused by the change in ranking on the Dragon Ranking.
But he was not surprised. The Dragon Ranking ultimately came from the Health Furnace. At least in the inner gate of the Dragon and Tiger, where the true energy was shrouded, it was impossible to hide the fact that someone had broken through.
Inside the house, Li Yuan changed his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror, and felt quite satisfied.
During these four months, the various things he controlled had not changed much, but the outfit he was wearing was no longer the same as before.
The heavy hammer, inner armor, outer coat, boots, belt, ring, and brass knuckles are all top-grade sharp blade-grade items, and they have all been forged on the Divine Fire Forging Platform and have various characteristics.
The resources of Daocheng are incomparable to those of Fucheng. Although he did not search for it on a large scale, what he found was surprising enough.
"I have seven special characteristics, although they are only at the third level, but this is a blessing beyond the control quota!"
Li Yuan squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the mirror, where he could see his own shining body.
From Taoist robes to inner armor, from brass knuckles to boots and belts.
[Features: Level 3 (dark blue): sharp eyes and ears (bone ring), calming the mind (brass knuckles), light and agile (boots), tough (inner armor), able to avoid water and fire (Taoist robe), keen (belt)]
With just these characteristics, Li Yuan felt that he was comparable to a shape-changing warrior who was proficient in light skills, horizontal training, and keen perception.
"If an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts wears my outfit, can he... probably not, but killing Cao Yan... well, I guess Cao Yan can't do it either?"
Li Yuan murmured in his heart.
Although Li Yuan thought that the special features of this outfit were no less powerful than those of a shape-shifting warrior, this was only for himself.
Ordinary people don't know martial arts and lack courage. Even if they put it on, they can only bully strong warriors and may even capsize.
"Well, even if this set of third-level characteristics is only considered internal strength, the fourth-level, even if it can change its shape, what about the fifth and sixth levels? The Divine Fire Forging Platform is indeed a surprise!"
After stopping for a moment, when he heard a knock on the door, Li Yuan picked up the top-quality pure steel octagonal hammer beside him.
Now, all the objects he controls are at least fourth-level, so the third-level heavy hammer that he has no use for is naturally used for daily practice.
The characteristic of this hammer is simple: [heavy].
As the name suggests, this heavy hammer, which originally weighed only over 100 pounds, now weighs no less than 1,000 pounds in his hand.
"It's a little light..."
Li Yuan weighed it.
He jumped from thirty-eight forms to forty-five forms in one go, and one of the forms was the form of a spiritual elephant, which was renowned for its power. His physical strength grew extremely rapidly.
At this moment, I stretched my muscles and felt so energetic that I felt like I was about to explode.
"Bai Xing, not far away."
As he stepped out of the door, Li Yuan felt eager to give it a try. Fighting was popular in the Dragon and Tiger Temple, especially among the top 100 on the Dragon and Tiger lists, who would be invited to fight from time to time.
If someone invites you to a fight again, why not give it a try yourself?
……
As soon as he went out, Li Yuan was shocked.
He thought that his rising ranking might attract a lot of attention, but he didn't expect that there would be hundreds of people gathered outside the courtyard, making it a huge crowd.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. After welcoming Master and Apprentice Gong Jiuchuan in, he closed the door decisively, so he was not drowned in the crowd.
"You have quite a good relationship with people."
In the courtyard, Gong Jiuchuan had a strange look on his face. Behind him, Yu Xuanji suppressed her shock and looked Li Yuan up and down, feeling a faint sense of oppression in her heart.
"It's OK."
Li Yuan closed the gate. He had repaired at least two hundred weapons in the past few months. With his skills, and for free, how could he not be popular?
Gong Jiuchuan glanced at the dozens of weapons of various kinds piled in the corner and said nothing.
"Brother Gong, please come in and sit for a while."
Li Yuan invited the two into the house and took out the herbal wine to entertain them.
"You, you are already 56th on the Dragon Ranking, how come it's so fast?"
Gong Jiuchuan was very patient because he knew that his disciples would not be able to help asking questions, and Yu Xuanji naturally could not help it either.
She was fully aware of the difficulty of being on the Dragon and Tiger lists.
She is the most talented among several generations of the Yu family. She has been taught by her elders since she was young and has all kinds of elixirs and martial arts. However, she has only managed to make it into the top 150.
As for the more than one hundred people before them, they were all geniuses among millions of people. They had excellent physique and talents, no shortage of elixirs and resources, and they had been practicing for longer years.
She really couldn't figure out how Li Yuan did it.
"Well, there has been a breakthrough in martial arts."
Li Yuan naturally had an excuse in his mind, which was nothing more than the Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra and the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer. If he asked further, he would not know the answer.
Although his performance was amazing, with the example of Long Xinglie before him, he thought that it was okay for him to be a bit high-profile.
Those who can inherit the skills from the ancestor's will will be more eye-catching if they remain silent.
"Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra... well, it took me four months to master it. Well, that's not fast. But I have some impression of the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer."
Gong Jiuchuan seemed to accept it easily.
"Six-Shaped Hammer?"
Yu Xuanji was slightly startled. The difficulty of practicing a martial art is related to the number of forms that can be changed after it is perfected.
Normally, a hammer technique that combines the six forms must be at least a top-level secret technique, and a mid-level one...
"This is an ancient hammer technique. It is said that the person who created this technique was a serial killer in the Zhaixing Tower more than 600 years ago. It is difficult to learn and master, and compared to ordinary mid-level martial arts, its power is not outstanding, so there are very few people who practice this martial art."
Gong Jiuchuan obviously had no intention of digging deeper, so he just gave a casual explanation and then passed over the topic.
Yu Xuanji's eyes were full of suspicion, but she kept her mouth shut.
"Since you have entered the top 100 of the Dragon Ranking, then you should have seen the real dragon tablet, right?"
Gong Jiuchuan picked up a cup of herbal wine.
"Did you see it?"
Li Yuan was being very conservative.
The main reason was that he was not sure about the evaluation of "the best among men". If it was high, it would be fine, but if it was low, it would be a bit troublesome.
"It looks like a blue dragon, and the inscriptions are like scales. There are many names written on it, as well as the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace's evaluation of you!"
Gong Jiuchuan put down his wine glass, his eyes dim.
"Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace!"
Yu Xuanji's heart was shocked.
The news that the Dragon-Tiger Health Care Furnace was in the Dragon and Tiger Temple had been circulating for many years, but the truth was never explained within the sect, so even she had only heard about it vaguely from the elders.
"The health-preserving furnace is the treasure of our Dragon Tiger Sect, but only those who have ranked in the top 100 of the Dragon Tiger List are qualified to know about it and enter the 'Health Preserving Secret Realm'."
Gong Jiuchuan transmitted the secret message:
"This is a sect secret. Although many sects in the martial arts world know about it, please do not mention it proactively..."
Gong Jiuchuan was very careful and subconsciously scanned the room, pausing for a moment on the kitten lying on the windowsill, which was basking in the sun lazily with its tail wagging.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."
Li Yuan had no objection, he had always kept his mouth shut. "The Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace is one of the twelve Heavenly Prosperity Mysterious Weapons. More than two thousand years ago, the two ancestors worked together to refine it thoroughly and used it as the foundation to establish the Dragon-Tiger Temple."
Gong Jiuchuan spoke lightly about the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace.
Li Yuan and the other person listened quietly to the message.
What Gong Jiuchuan said was basically the same as the rumors in the martial arts world, except for some minor differences. For example, according to the rumors, the health-preserving furnace was passed down from generation to generation by Taoist masters and was never shown to anyone.
But in fact, the health-preserving furnace is the Longhu Temple, which has always been in front of everyone.
"The reason why our Dragon and Tiger Temple has been able to remain undefeated for more than 2,000 years is precisely because of this Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Weapon. The other major Taoist sects are also similar..."
The rumors were confirmed.
Li Yuan's eyes flickered. Each of the five major sects had one, he had one, and the imperial court had about one or two. There were not many that were ownerless...
"As for the secret realm of health preservation..."
Gong Jiuchuan changed the subject, and only Li Yuan could hear what he said next:
"The secret realm of health preservation is the real inner gate of Dragon and Tiger. Only those who are in the top 100 of the Dragon and Tiger list can enter."
"Master..."
Yu Xuanji pitifully grabbed her master's sleeve, but Gong Jiuchuan just glanced at her:
"If you want to know, then be more diligent and enter the top 100 of the Dragon Ranking as soon as possible."
"Disciple knows."
Yu Xuanji was a little depressed, but she could only turn her head away: "Oh, what a beautiful kitten."
"do not move!"
Li Yuan was quick to grab Yu Xuanji's arm.
"Not even a touch?"
Seeing his big reaction, Yu Xuanji put her hand down.
"This cat is a bit wild."
Li Yuan snapped his fingers and the kitten on the windowsill jumped out of the window.
'So stingy.'
Yu Xuanji complained in her heart, but she didn't take it too seriously. She also had several cats of her own, and she just wanted to touch this cat because it was cute.
"Go out."
Gong Jiuchuan drove her out.
"Brother Gong, what would be written on the dragon stele? I was a little shocked and dazed at the time, so I couldn't see it clearly."
Li Yuan closed the window and asked curiously.
"Divine weapons have spirits, and mysterious weapons have even more spirits. When you first entered the top 100 of the Dragon Ranking, the Dragon and Tiger Health Furnace gave you some comments."
Gong Jiuchuan was still transmitting the secret message:
"This is not a secret. As far as I know, this is related to the talent of the people on the list. From the bottom up, they are 'outstanding', 'one in a million', 'a rare talent', 'unparalleled', and 'unparalleled in the ages'."
"so much?"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
His original physique was naturally very poor, but now his physique has been improved many times and he possesses forty-five forms. He believes that he can surpass the vast majority of Dragon and Tiger disciples.
It’s only in third gear?
"It's hard to say whether 'Unparalleled Through the Ages' is true or not. At least there is no record of it within the sect. It was only mentioned in the founder's diary."
Gong Jiuchuan paused slightly:
"Since you can attract the will of the ancestor to pass on your skills, then your aptitude must be peerless level one. Daozi, Uncle Long, Uncle Nie, and my master are all at this level."
"The so-called peerless talent is the ultimate talent that can become a land immortal."
Gong Jiuchuan drank several glasses of wine in a row. Although there was no change on his face, he was indeed touched in his heart.
The vision of the Dragon and Tiger Health Preserving Furnace is obviously extremely high. What it evaluates as "outstanding" and "one in a million" are recorded based on the Dragon and Tiger inner disciples.
His talent is top notch in the state, but can be evaluated as only 'one in a million'.
"Unparalleled talent?"
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly. With the support of so many heavy hammers, should he be considered as peerless level one?
Master Li Dao is very aware of his own talent, but he doesn't care too much about it. If he doesn't have enough talent, he can make up for it with his military skills. If he has the support of seven seventh-order heavy hammers, he may reach the level of "unique throughout the ages".
"Talent is just talent. You don't have to be too proud. There are many great masters throughout history who have ordinary talents."
Gong Jiuchuan put down his wine glass and warned.
"That's what senior brother said."
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, agreeing with it deeply.
"As for the secret realm of health preservation, well...it's still early. If you have nothing to do, I will take you there."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Li Yuan had no objection, he was very interested in the health-preserving furnace.
According to legend, the health furnace has no ability to kill or protect oneself, but it has the ability to consolidate the foundation and prolong life.
"Where's your ID token?"
Gong Jiuchuan took out his identity token.
Do I need this to enter the secret realm of the health furnace?
Li Yuan was surprised and quickly took out his token.
"When entering or leaving the Health Furnace Secret Realm, you must carry your own badge, otherwise it will alert the Law Enforcement Hall."
Gong Jiuchuan stood up.
When the two of them went out, most of the crowd outside the yard had already dispersed, and the remaining ones were forced back by Gong Jiuchuan's eyes.
"You are extremely talented, but don't be careless."
Gong Jiuchuan glanced at Li Yuan, who lowered his head slightly. He knew he was talking about blacksmithing, but he couldn't agree to it.
"It's up to you."
Gong Jiuchuan didn't say much, he quickened his pace, and soon arrived at a dragon stele.
"here?"
There are many dragon steles in Longshan, and Li Yuan has seen them many times, but this time he sensed a different aura.
The energy of the health-preserving furnace suddenly became strong.
hum!
When Li Yuan took out the token, he heard a loud bang, as if the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened and then suddenly closed.
Swish!
In just a moment, the fog in front of me dissipated instantly.
High mountains, dense forests, streams, big rivers, dragon tablets, palaces...
The scene before him looked very much like Longshan, yet it also seemed to be somewhat ambiguous. Li Yuan was a little dazed.
“This is the secret realm of the health furnace.”
Gong Jiuchuan raised his head slightly:
"This is another world, different from the present one."
"This……"
Li Yuan did not pretend to be surprised. He looked around and was quite shocked.
Compared to the Black Whale Secret Realm, this health-preserving secret realm is much more vast and gives him a different feeling. If the former is a bit lifeless, here, there is a sense of vitality.
It even gave him a feeling that was more alive than the outside world.
"How does it feel?"
Gong Jiuchuan asked.
Li Yuan put his hands on the pergola and looked towards the distant mountains, where the dark light was shining brightly:
“A great place…”
