Start from the Martial Arts

Fang Xiu walked out of the outer city slowly, turned into the woods, and ran quickly towards the shantytown.

"Hahaha!"

Thinking of the things in the storage bag, Fang Xiu couldn't help but smile, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

In fact, he had just prepared to release the talisman and escape at any time, but he didn't expect that a group of people were stunned by him.

"It seems that the power of Ghost Shura is really strong!"

Fang Xiu touched his chin.

Decided to use Lu Jin's vest only once.

After returning to the shantytown, he carefully counted the spirit stones.

A total of 812 pieces.

"How long will it take to earn so many spirit stones if you do a serious business!"

Fang Xiu picked up the spirit stones.

The net profit of his talisman making in a year is only 500 spirit stones. After deducting the cost of buying pills, his income is actually negative.

This year and a half is purely supported by Lu Jin's spirit stones.

Now that the talisman making skills have been upgraded to the first-level intermediate grade, it is estimated that the annual income can double.

After counting the spirit stones, Fang Xiu took out the black boots embroidered with cloud patterns.

"It can double the speed of Qi Refining cultivators..."

Fang Xiu put on the Cloud Climbing Boots and came to the forest behind the shantytown.

First, Fang Xiu did not activate the Cloud Climbing Boots and used the Wind Kick to run at full speed.

"A hundred meters in more than six seconds, an average speed of about fifteen meters."

"Fang Xiu stopped and looked at the clear pit marks left in the snow along the way.

In fact, he could be faster, but that was in the burst state, and his physical strength would be consumed quickly.

A normal Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator, even with the Wind Control Talisman, is not as fast as him.

The late Qi Refining should be faster, but it is not a qualitative difference.

After all, most cultivators do not practice physical training, and their body skills are all improved by mana and talismans.

The acceleration principle of the Wind Control Talisman is mainly to lighten the body and reduce wind resistance.

Many robes are sold at high prices. In addition to the instantaneous defensive spells, the most important thing is that they are engraved with the "Rapid" magic array.

The higher-level ones also have the "Transformation Wind" magic array.

Many special flying instruments are equipped with a wind-transforming array, which can reduce wind resistance by more than half during high-speed movement.

! ! !

Fang Xiu injected his magic power into the Cloud-Climbing Boots, and the cloud pattern on the boots lit up, and a faint mist appeared under the boots. He stepped forward fiercely, and during his running, small pits exploded in the snow under his feet, and snowflakes and soil splashed all around.

"So fast!"

When Fang Xiu stopped and looked back.

It only took him four seconds to cover the same hundred meters this time.

"The speed increased from 15 meters per second to 25 meters! This speed is very fast in the Qi Refining Stage..."

Fang Xiu tried again, and he ran faster and faster in the wind and snow.

Not long after, he discovered a problem.

Running like this consumes a lot of physical strength.

He has achieved success in martial arts, so it's okay. If he is a normal Qi Refining cultivator, moving at such a high speed will quickly exhaust his physical strength.

Cloud-Climbing Boots only have the "super speed" effect, a single function, and require a high level of physical strength from the user.

In summary, the Cloud-Climbing Boots are very practical, but they cannot be used as a conventional means.

Of course, this restriction has little impact on Fang Xiu.

"No wonder Fei Kang is willing to use such a fine magic weapon to deduct the spirit stone.'"

Fang Xiu's face soon showed a smile.

The next day.

Fang Xiu went to the Treasure Pavilion in the inner city.

"Fang Daoyou is here again, what do you want to buy this time?"

Yan Shou said with a smile.

Fang Xiu bowed and asked: "Fellow Daoyou Yan, I wonder if your pavilion will accept first-level middle-grade talismans?"

Last night, he had already found the place from the hunting gang and collected interest.

Fang Xiu now just wants to live a low-key life and does not want to conflict with the other party.

He plans to sell the talisman directly to the Treasure Pavilion to avoid the other party sending people to harass and make trouble.

"Of course, this will be accepted, but the price will be lower. After all, our Treasure Pavilion has its own special first-level top-grade talisman master." Yan Shou nodded.

"How much lower?" Fang Xiu asked again.

"Eighty percent of the market price. "Yan Shou replied.

"Eighty percent..." Fang Xiu frowned slightly.

This price is too low.

Yan Shou said: "If Fellow Daoist Fang is willing to become the exclusive talisman master of our Treasure Pavilion, the price can be raised to 90%. You can also purchase some resources first, such as... Melting Blood Pill."

"Forget it." Fang Xiu shook his head. If he became the exclusive talisman master of the Treasure Pavilion, although the income would be more stable and there would be benefits, there would be no freedom.

"How about this, if Fellow Daoist Fang helps Brother Wei, during the period of helping, in addition to the 10% discount on all the items you buy, we will also buy talismans at a 10% discount for you."

"Yan Shou compromised.

"This..." Fang Xiu was somewhat tempted. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "I want to watch the process of other body refiners helping before making a decision.'"

"Okay, you follow me." Yan Shou nodded, called other people to watch the store, and he took Fang Xiu out of the Treasure Pavilion.

The two came to the most central area of ​​the inner city.

A huge stone hall stood there.

Fang Xiu followed Yan Shou into the stone hall. There were not many cultivators in the hall, but all of them had high cultivation. The lowest was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and there were more than three people in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Yan Shou came to the counter, got a token from the waiter, and then took Fang Xiu to the passage on the left side of the hall.

Fang Xiu noticed that there were five entrances to the passages on both sides of the hall.

There was a translucent light film at the entrance of the passage, which seemed to be some kind of magic array.

After Fang Xiu passed through the light film, he felt a strong heat rushing towards his face. There was a smell of rotten eggs in the air, a bit like sulfur.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, down here is...:" Fang Xiu looked at the stairs leading to the underground at the end of the corridor, and he had already made a rough guess in his mind.

"Down here is the underground fire chamber." Yan Shou explained.

“When the Danxia Sect came here, in addition to clearing up wasteland, the most important thing was to take a fancy to the Xuanyang veins here.

The second-level Xuanyang formation that enveloped Fang City not only had the functions of gathering spirits and defending, but it could also trigger the fire of the earth's lungs in the Xuanyang land.

The fire of the earth's lungs is more stable and gentle than the innate true fire of the foundation-building monks. Even the Qi-refining monks can use the fire of the earth's lungs to refine elixirs and weapons.

However, the number of underground fire chambers here is limited, only ten.

The Danxia Sect occupies four rooms, and our Taiqing Sword Sect and Hehuan Sect each have two rooms.

Although the remaining four underground fire rooms are rented out, they are only rented to repairmen in the inner city.

Therefore, the only monks who knew about this matter were the family members and some late-stage Qi Refining monks. ’”

"That's it." Fang Xiu suddenly realized.

There were rumors before that Wei Jiang, the weapon refiner of Zhenbao Pavilion, had a first-level high-quality fire crow, and he relied on the fire crow to refine his weapons.

At the end of the underground steps is a closed stone room with a groove on the stone door.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, Senior Brother Wei should be refining weapons at the moment. Please don't disturb him later."

Yan Shou took out the token and reminded Fang Xiu.

"I'll remember it," Fang Xiu said, cupping his hands.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shou inserted the token into the groove on the stone door. The token soon fell completely into it and disappeared. At the same time, the stone door slowly opened.

The underground fire room is about twenty square meters.

In the middle stands a stone platform five feet in diameter and more than three feet high.

There are six red mini dragons inlaid around the stone platform. The dragon's head and mouth are downward, and it is spitting fire towards the center of the stone platform.

A white stone floats in mid-air, gradually changing its shape under the lick of tongues of fire.

At this time, a bald old man with white beard and white eyebrows stood in front of the stone platform.

He kept waving his hands, pinching the fire control technique, and adjusting the size of the flames in the mouths of the six dragon heads.

Fang Xiu felt the mana fluctuations on the old man's body and confirmed that this person was Wei Jiang.

In addition to Wei Jiang, there is also a stove placed against the wall on the left side of the room.

Two men with bare upper bodies, showing off their strong muscles, were holding up sledgehammers and striking a red iron embryo. The shape of knives could be vaguely seen.

It was an eerie red color.

The two men kept banging the iron embryo, their faces turned red, their arms gradually turned red, and there were bloodshot eyes.

"Pinghu

The two of them exerted their strength and kept breathing heavily,

However, Fang Xiu seemed to hear a weak and strange breathing sound.

He searched the entire Earth Fire Room, and finally his eyes returned to Tiejiao.

"This..." Fang Xiu's pupils suddenly dilated.

"This piece of red star iron was obtained by Senior Brother Wei ten years ago. It has the special ability to subtly absorb the energy and blood of the people in the hammer chain." Yan Shou explained to Fang Xiu through a voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you can get closer and feel it."

"Yes." Fang Xiu nodded and slowly approached the stove.

"Huh...huh..." The weak breathing sound seemed to get louder.

Fang Xiu looked at the other four people present. None of them seemed to have any reaction.

I don't know if I'm used to it or...

Can't sense it at all?

After getting close to Red Star Iron, Fang Xiu felt that the energy and blood in his body were much more active.

"You can stop."

At this time, Wei Jiang on the side suddenly spoke.

The two men who were forging Red Star Iron quickly put down their hammers as if they had received an amnesty.

Fang Xiu noticed that after the two people put down the hammers, they quickly moved away from the stove. Their originally flushed cheeks gradually lost their redness and became a little pale.

The two of them were sweating profusely, sitting cross-legged on the ground, each taking out a scarlet pill and swallowing it.

Smelling the spicy and pungent aroma of the medicine, Fang Xiu felt that the qi and blood in his body were becoming more active.

He guessed that this elixir should be the blood-melting elixir.

Fang Xiu turned to look at Red Star Iron.

Not long after, he felt that the energy and blood in his body became more and more active, and the red iron embryo in front of him seemed to have some strong attraction to him.

"Fellow Daoist Fang can try forging red star iron. If you can adapt to this strength, you can come to help once every seven days and get the benefits I just mentioned."

Yan Shou said in a message.

Fang Xiu paused, pondered for a moment, and then picked up the hammer beside him.

clang!

With one hammer blow, Fang Xiu felt as if the blood and energy in his body had been ignited. The blood and energy surged up, and his body fell into a strange state.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

Fang Xiu used the Divine Ape Hammer Technique to speed up the forging.

Not long after, he felt the energy and blood gathering towards his hands. As he forged, the energy and blood slowly drained along the hammer and was absorbed by the Red Star Iron.

Just when Fang Xiu was about to stop, he found that the energy in his body seemed to be stimulated.

"kindness?""

After a short pause, Fang Xiu used the Ape Hammer Technique again for the sake of testing.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

As Fang Xiu forged the red star iron rhythmically, his strength became more active.

clang!

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Fang Xiu slammed the hammer down. His whole body felt dizzy and he took a few steps back.

Slumped on the ground.

[Sacred Ape Hammer Technique: Limit Breaking (100%) → Grandmaster (1%)]

Fang Xiu shook his hands, feeling weak and his muscles sore.

The Divine Ape Hammer Method, a mortal martial art that had been stagnant for three years, has now entered the next stage, the Grandmaster.

[Skill: Three Absolute Pill Power·Mastery (66%)]

The progress of the Three Absolute Pill Power has also increased by 1%.

Wei Jiang was surprised to see Fang Xiu working so hard just after he arrived, and looked at Yan Shou: "Junior Brother Yan, this fellow Taoist is..."

"This is fellow Taoist Fang, a first-level mid-grade talisman master, and also a body refiner." Yan Shou explained.

"Give him a bottle of blood-melting pills." Wei Jiang nodded.

"Uh... yes." Yan Shou was stunned, then took out a porcelain bottle from his bag and threw it to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and saw three scarlet pills inside, with a spicy taste that stimulated his blood.

He did not take the pills, but put them in the storage bag.

"Fang Daoyou, the matter of helping..." Yan Shou asked for his opinion.

"If it's once every seven days, I have no problem. "Fang Xiu nodded.

"That's great!" Yan Shou said with a smile.

The two left the Earth Fire Room, and Fang Xiu followed Yan Shou back to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Friend Yan, do you have any robes with the 'wind transformation' array engraved on them?"

"Wind transformation array?" Yan Shou smiled, then nodded and said, "Yes, but the defensive ability of this robe is a little worse, not as good as the snow silk robe I recommended before."'

"Show it to me." Fang Xiu replied.

"Okay."

Not long after, Yan Shou took out three robes of similar styles, divided into three colors: blue, white, and black.

"This first-level middle-grade wind spirit robe also comes with a first-level middle-grade magic golden light shield, but it can only be activated once a day.

In addition, the robe is engraved with three arrays of light body, wind transformation, and spirit gathering. ',

"How many spirit stones?" Fang Xiu had already decided in his heart.

Yan Shou said, "Five hundred and sixty spirit stones, I'll give you a 10% discount as I said before. In addition, I'll give you a 0.5% discount, only this time."

"I want it!" Fang Xiu took out the spirit stones.

"Are you sure? The Wind Transformation Array is not very practical. I still recommend the Snow Silk Robe." Yan Shou confirmed again.

"Sure." Fang Xiu nodded and bought the black one with 476 spirit stones.

At night.

In the forest behind the shantytown, a dull explosion came from the snow, and a figure flashed by, leaving deep footprints in the snow.

"Forty meters per second!!"

Fang Xiu stopped, his eyes full of excitement.

With Dengyun Boots and Fengling Robe, this speed is absolutely the best in the Qi Refining Stage. If he encounters a situation where he can't beat them or is fighting more than one, he can run away.
