Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 176 Power
After that, Xu Gu'an stayed in the village until the early spring of March.

Accompanied by a burst of sounds like gold and iron, Xu Gu'an's fascia was strengthened again.

Body training has reached the second stage of Yi Jin.

The super-limit-level Yijin method is still so powerful, and the cultivation efficiency is outstanding.

Xu Guan let out a breath, got up and moved a little.

The body became obviously lighter, moving around like a gust of wind.

As long as he wanted to, he could easily jump onto the roof beams without making a sound.

"It is said that Yijin is more difficult to practice, but I don't feel it deeply." Xu Guan said to himself with a smile.

He really couldn't understand the hardships of cultivation.

Up to now, Yijin method has been completed, and after that, it has broken through and reached perfection, reaching beyond the limit.

The practice of ordinary body refiners is not easy, so it is not suitable for him.

Getting used to this wave of strengthened body, Xu Guan pushed open the window panel and looked at the melting ice and snow outside the house.

From time to time, you can hear the calls from the livestock in the backyard.

"It's almost time to go back." Xu Guan murmured.

I stayed at home for a whole winter, and now it's spring, and this year's military academy exam is coming soon.

If you miss it, the old dean will not be able to explain it.

With a decision in his heart, Xu Gu'an planned to go back within two days.

Put up the window panels and let the cool spring breeze blow into the house.

Xu Gu Anru leaned against the head of the bed in the past, took out his mobile phone, and opened the inventory.

"It's almost time to reap the harvest, and the blue card should be upgraded to another level." Xu Gu'an thought in his mind.

Looking at the inventory, there are piles of character cards of various colors.

Blue, green, white, gray.

Of course, there are still a few blue cards and green cards, most of which are white cards and gray cards.

Whether it was the bird plague in Donglan Town earlier and the subsequent siege battle, or the wave that destroyed the blood alliance in reality, they all contributed many character cards to him.

There are thirty or forty cards in total, but unfortunately there is not a single green card in it, only white cards and gray cards broke out, which shows that green cards are rare.

Xu Gu'an reserved these cards as experience cards, and used the recovery period of the character card's initial cultivation level to replace the Tiger King's seat when downloading dungeons on weekdays, and quickly level up one by one.

Once the recovery period of the cultivation base has passed and the accumulation of experience slows down, it will be replaced, and so on.

Thirty or forty character cards may seem like a lot, but given the huge death base, the explosion rate is still quite low.

To know the bird problem in the town that day, only the carcasses of birds that Gu An saw were too many to count, if not tens of thousands, there were thousands of them.

But in the end, there were less than [-] bird and beast cards that were released.

The rest are the human cards obtained from picking up leaks in that battle and destroying the blood alliance.

The explosion rate among them is significantly lower than when he was in the village.

In this regard, except for the uncertain reason of his bad luck, Xu Gu'an has some other guesses.

The last possibility is that as his personal cultivation level continues to grow, the burst rate of low-quality character cards that are not needed by default will be reduced accordingly.

After all, for him now, if hundreds of gray cards are really going to burst out and the inventory is full, it really doesn't help Xu Gu'an much.

This is a relatively common mechanism mode in previous life game design.

Or his personal cultivation level is not an important factor in determining the card explosion rate of real characters, it may also be the number of dungeons he has opened, or it may be adjusted according to the highest level of dungeons opened.

In fact, it's not just the character card burst rate in reality.

When you download a copy, you will have a similar feeling.

In dungeons with higher difficulty levels, the drop rate of items that have not entered the level or low-level items has been significantly reduced.

In this regard, Xu Gu'an is not unacceptable, as long as the high-quality items and the drop rate of character cards are not lowered.

Then, Xu Gu'an sacrificed the experience cards that had been practiced one by one to his Liyuan card.

Soon, when these dozens of experience cards were exhausted, Li Yuan also successfully broke through to the sixth-level cultivation level of Yijin, and there was still a lot of surplus, allowing him to accumulate the experience energy needed to finally break through the blood-refining realm. Quite a lot.

Xu Gu'an is looking forward to the moment when this blue card breaks through the blood refinement realm, and the combat power will skyrocket.

At present, he has reached the sixth stage of Yijin, and his combat power value has reached 350 points.

During this period of time, Shen Xi's training in the blood refining realm has also improved a little, and his combat power has increased to 350 five points.

Only slightly better than Li Yuan.

There is almost no difference in the current strength of the two character cards.

It is foreseeable that the title of the most powerful core card will be replaced soon.

But right now, with the continuous improvement of the blue card's combat power, it is relatively easy for Xu Gu'an to go to the core area of ​​the Donglan Mountains dungeon.

At least apart from Shen Xika, this blue card is also enough to fight against some ferocious beasts at the fourth-order blood refinement level.

And with the cooperation of two or two, some powerful creatures that could not be dealt with before can now be challenged.

Areas that were not dared to approach before can now be gradually explored in depth
In the afternoon, a long-distance caravan arrived at Xujia Village.

It was old acquaintances, Wang De and his party who came back every year.

"Hey, this Xujia Village has changed a lot in the past two years, it's almost the same every year, and even the stone walls have been built." Sun Dabao looked at the changes in front of him, and said with a click of his tongue.

"There is also this canal, which was only a small one last year, but it has so many branches this year."

Sun Dabao looked around, and suddenly his eyes fixed on a huge big hairy cow in the field.

The cow has a triangular shape, with a sagging belly, and thick gray hair like a big sofa cover. It is lazily and slowly lowering its head to eat the long grass on the ground.

He recognized that this was a domesticated animal in Xujia Village last year, so he was not surprised.

His eyes fixed on the person lying on the back of the big hairy cow.

"Brother Wang, is that Xiao An over there?" Sun Dabao couldn't help asking.

When Wang De and the others heard Xu Gu'an, they couldn't help but look.

"Really!" Liu Laosi said in amazement: "Isn't Xiaoan studying in Donglan Town Martial Arts Academy? Why are you back?"

He was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, why not come back to visit the house." Wang De laughed loudly, put his hand on his mouth, whistled, and waved to Xu Gu'an.

Xu Gu'an held a piece of foxtail in his mouth, and when he heard the sound, seeing that it was Wang De and his party, he couldn't help but waved his hands to say hello.

Soon, Wang De and his team were welcomed into the village.

It was still Xu Rushan who received him personally.

Now the village is not the same as it was back then. There are even some vacant houses and horse sheds specially built for caravans to stay in the village.

In the courtyard of the village chief's house, the wine table and food had already been set up, enough for everyone in Wang De's caravan to have a good meal.

Now it's no problem for Xu Rushan to entertain such a few tables.

"So, Brother Wang is starting his own business." After chatting for a while at the wine table, Xu Gu'an couldn't help asking.

"Hahaha, well, firstly, I can't stand the pissing behavior of the previous chamber of commerce, and secondly, I'm already in my forties, not to mention creating a great career, I have to make a difference no matter what.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will regret it when I grow old. "Wang De drank half a bowl of wine, nodded with a smile.

"Recently, I heard that there are endless wars outside. It is not easy to manage this caravan." Xu Rushan asked.

"It's really difficult, the world is like this, in some places, not only wild bandits rob the road, but even officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, I also accumulated some contacts and contacts in my early years, so I wouldn't have difficulty getting a step outside. "The smile on Wang De's face restrained a little, and he sighed. Obviously, this is also a big problem that bothers him.

Self-supporting is easy to say, but it is also difficult in practice.

After Xu Gu'an thought for a while, he mentioned that his Yuanxian Department Store in Donglan Town might be able to reach a cooperation with Wang De's caravan.

He quite recognized Wang De's business ability, and this kind of cooperation is a win-win for both parties.

After Wang De heard about it, he readily accepted it.

No matter what aspect he considers, he will not refuse.

Xu Gu'an's personal potential is there. A genius like this, as long as he doesn't die halfway, will definitely become a prominent person in the future.

A cooperation like this, in his view, must be a profitable business.

Of course, Xu Gu'an only finalized an intention, and the specific cooperation matters had to be negotiated by the butler Zhang Yang after returning home, so he would not participate in the follow-up matters.

The next day, Xu Gu'an decided to leave the village with Wang De's team and return to Donglan Town.

Both mother Feng Man and Xu Yaya seemed a little bit reluctant, like family members who saw off their children after the winter vacation and starting school in previous lives.

As a father, Xu Xinnian was better. Perhaps he knew that his son had ambitions everywhere, and it was better to keep many concerns in his heart than to speak out.

Xu Guping's injury has mostly recovered now, and he can resume his daily practice.

The serious injury this time made him want to become stronger than before. According to the agreement, I believe he will be able to train to the copper layer in a short time and go to Donglan Town to develop.

At that time, after leaving Novice Village, he will be able to get in touch with all kinds of new things, and his life journey will be fully launched.

After saying goodbye, Xu Guan rode on his Qingling horse and followed the convoy on the road.

"Although this Donglan Mountain is a bit remote and not prosperous, it is really a rare and clean place now, and it cannot be compared with this place in other places."

Wang De also rode a horse, and walked with Xu Gu'an at the front of the team, looking at the revived landscape around him, he couldn't help sighing.

It is a rare thing to be free from the flames of war.

Xu Gu'an thought so.

A few days later, when the caravan entered the town, Xu Gu'an introduced the housekeeper Zhang Yang to Wang De.

When the two met for the first time, they had a pretty good impression of each other.

After all, both Wang De and Zhang Yang are reliable people, and the conversation went very well.

When Wang De left, Zhang Yang invited Xu Gu'an to the tea room, and started his long speech again, summarizing the store's business conditions and all the big and small things in the past few months when Xu Gu'an was away.

After a long time, Xu Guan was only satisfied to let Xu Guan leave.

That night, Shen Zhongshan Luliang learned that Xu Gu'an had returned, and set a table at Baiwei Pavilion to welcome the wind.

"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for several months, I miss you so much." Lu Liang smiled.

"The big exam is about to come, and I won't do it if I don't come back." Xu Guan clinked glasses with Lu Liang.

"With Brother Xu's strength, no one can shake the top spot this year. I only hope that my Xiaoxi can compete for the top two."

When it comes to the big exam, Shen Zhongshan couldn't help but say.

Nowadays, Xu Gu'an has completely overwhelmed Shen Xi and Weng Yan in terms of talent and strength in the town's reputation, and is the only one there.

Therefore, most people agree that Xu Gu'an won the top spot again, and even in the same session, the only ones who are qualified to challenge Xu Gu'an are Shen Xi and Weng Yan, the former twins of the town.

Both of them had also been defeated by Xu Gu'an, so even if they challenged again, others were generally not optimistic about it, and even Shen Chongshan didn't have any hope for it.

In his opinion, if his little sister can beat Weng Yan and overwhelm the Weng family, that would be satisfactory.

"Don't mention it, this year my father set a goal for me to be in the top eight. If I can't achieve it, I'm afraid that the days to come will be miserable again." Lu Liang sighed and said with a bitter face.

Last year he managed to keep the top ten places. Who would have thought that his father would not be satisfied with this this year, and hoped that he would enter two more places.

"Since your father has made such a request, there must be a basis for it. Brother Lu only needs to go all out. I believe that Lu Bo sees it. Even if it fails, it will not be too embarrassing for you." Xu Gu'an comforted.

"I hope so." Lu Liang shook his head, not wanting to continue this topic, and asked Chong Shan.

"Will Brother Shen be able to get a place in the Grand Master Martial Academy this year?"

Some time ago, Shen Zhongshan's bone forging practice had reached the perfection of the Bone Nine Realm.

According to his achievements and rankings in the martial arts academy over the years, he has firmly secured a place to go to the grand master martial arts academy.

It stands to reason that you can go there this year.

Shen Zhongshan shook his head, and said helplessly: "It was originally planned like this, but now that the war outside is too serious, the Grand Master Martial Academy has temporarily suspended the recruitment of new disciples, so it is uncertain how long this matter will be delayed .”

Speaking of this matter, he is also quite uncomfortable.

The other students of each class went normally, but in his year, there were more uncertain factors in this matter.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the luck is bad.

"It's true that brother Shen's situation is worse." After hearing this, Lu Liang seemed to find comfort.

After all, this is a major event related to the future development, and the delay is really anxious.

"If you want me to say, brother Xu has nothing to worry about, and I'm very envious." Zhong Zhongshan sipped a glass of wine, looked at Xu Gu'an and teased.

Xu Guan smiled, he really didn't have these worries.

Most of his thoughts are on cultivation matters, and he doesn't think too much about superfluous things.

Get together for a while, and the banquet ends.

"Brother Lu, do you want to go to Chunfeng Yayuan for a sit down later? I heard that a wonderful woman with superb piano skills came recently." Shen Zhongshan got up and joked.

When Lu Liang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said goodbye repeatedly.

He already had a psychological shadow on that Spring Breeze Yayuan, especially when he heard about that wonderful woman, he even avoided it.

Fake, all fake.

"My father told me to practice swordsmanship, that, Brother Shen, Brother Xu, let's go first." Lu Liang quickly retreated.

Xu Gu'an couldn't help but smile when he saw it, he only hoped that Lu Liang could still believe in love in the future.

After returning to the Martial Academy, Xu Gu An basically returned to his old life.

Cultivate, brush up dungeons, and occasionally go to class to absorb the experience and insights of those older generation warriors.

Or go to Wuyuan Shuge to stay for a while, look through ancient books, and read books that interest him, he also enjoys it.

The Martial Academy does have many resources, which can help those young students grow up very well.

The growth here is multi-faceted, not just a simple practice.

On this day, the town was full of gongs and drums, and it was extremely noisy.

The annual freshman martial arts competition is here again.

After Xu Gu'an learned that among the freshmen this year, there were no amazing talents, so he didn't even have the interest to watch and join in the fun.

He is now a master of Tendon-yielding Realm anyway, it's really boring for him to spend his time watching those young people in the Strong-boned and Skin-Moulding Realm fight back and forth.

And after the freshmen's martial arts meeting, another year's martial arts college exam came.

Xu Gu'an was the top of last year's list, and there is no other student who can challenge him.

He can only sit back and wait to be challenged.

But in the same class, all the students didn't want to make fun of themselves, so he didn't receive an invitation until the moment when the freshmen's martial arts competition ended.

After a long time, he even forgot that this month was the exam month.

It wasn't until the end, when he was informed that he had won the top spot for another year, that he suddenly realized that it was a bit too simple.

In fact, it is quite rare to see him at the top of the list with his unique strength over the years.

Basically, more or less, the leader of the list will be challenged, or even defeated and replaced.

Therefore, there are not many situations where he looks like an outsider.

Afterwards, this matter quickly became a topic and was hotly discussed.

Xu Gu'an's deeds gradually became more legendary in Donglan Town.

If you want to talk about the biggest news of their big exam this year, it is undoubtedly that Shen Xi defeated Weng Yan and ranked second.

Weng Yan fell from the top of the list all the way to the third place.

In this regard, the residents of the town sparked a lot of discussions about the fact that Weng Yan lost to Xu Gu'an last year and lost to Shen Xi this year.

Some say that Weng Yan's aura of genius is no longer there, and some say that Weng Yan indulges in drinking and sex, and has become lax about cultivation.

What's more, the bad-mouthing Weng Yan has become an existence like hurting Zhongyong.

Overall, negative reviews abound.

Even with many children of the Weng family, when they go out these days, they feel a little inexplicably disgraceful on their faces.

Weng Mansion.

In a backyard, Weng Yan stood quietly in it with his hands down, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yan'er, don't worry about this matter, practice is not just about competing for a short time, but more about the achievements and heights that can be achieved in the future.

You only need to cultivate in the way you think is right, and the family will still fully support you. "Patriarch Weng Dunyuan comforted him from the side.

He could sense that Weng Yan's mood was not right after this defeat.

In his opinion, no matter how talented Weng Yan is, in the end he is just a young man under 20 years old.

Losing twice in a row under the watchful eyes of the public may be a big blow to his psychology.

He was worried that this young genius of his family would be stuck in a dead end, and his thoughts would not be able to get through in the future.

For a cultivator, if his thoughts are not going well, he keeps his diary on his mind every day, and he wakes up every night, the impact on his cultivation will undoubtedly be huge.

The reason why some geniuses in this world end up being hurt by Zhongyong is that they are still unable to get out of the haze in their hearts, and even become demons in their hearts, eventually ruining their great talents.

It belongs to the fact that he drew a good hand and played poorly.

Weng Dunyuan naturally didn't want his genius to get lost.

Weng Yan raised his hands, his eyes were a little hollow, and he was still struggling.

"Practice in the way I think is right," he muttered to himself, repeating what Weng Dunyuan had just said.

"Huh?" Weng Dunyuan frowned, only feeling that Weng Yan's condition seemed to be worse than he thought.

"Yan'er, if you feel tired, take a rest for a while."

"Ah."

Weng Yan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something.

Seeing this, Weng Dunyuan didn't let go of the stone in his heart, but became more worried, and left with a secret sigh.

Leaving Weng Yan alone, he continued to stand in the courtyard.

Several domestic servants in the distance watched this scene, only feeling strange.

"Young master, what are you doing? You have been standing in the courtyard for quite a while. Didn't you get punished?"

"How is it possible, that is the young master, the whole Weng Mansion is treasured, how could he be punished."

"Stop thinking about it, let's go, the time will make the young master angry, and we will all be finished!"

"Indeed, the young master's temper has changed a lot in the past two years."

In the courtyard, Weng Yan, who had been standing for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes regained a bit of spirit, and the traces of struggle had disappeared.

He silently returned to his residence and took out a locked black iron box.

On the black iron box, there are dense lines.

Weng Yan turned it face up, and the lines on the cover became clear at once, forming a complete pattern.

A grimace.

If Xu Gu'an was present, he would definitely recognize that this is the appearance of the Moon God statue enshrined in the evil temple back then, and it is the same!
Weng Yan's expression was as usual, obviously it had been a long time since he obtained this black iron box.

He reached out and snapped the little lock, and opened it.

Placed inside is a Luna Bead.

And Weng Yan who opened the black iron box seemed to have received an inexplicable summon from somewhere.

There were more melodious voices that seemed to exist in his ears, playing on his already chaotic heartstrings.

"The essence of power has nothing to do with good or evil. The key lies in the person who uses him. I only take that power for my own use. My heart is bright and I will definitely not fall into the abyss."

Weng Yan muttered to himself, as if trying to convince his past self.

The night passed.

On the second day, Weng's mansion was in turmoil.

Only because of Weng Yan at home, he disappeared.
