Chapter 9 Secret Medicine
The mist dispersed and the stars gathered.
Karl’s figure appeared on the mysterious stone seat engraved with ancient patterns.
Excitement, anxiety, urgency...all the emotions were suppressed by absolute reason in an instant.
His expression was indifferent, his brown eyes were calm, and he took out a book from his arms slowly.
"Poisonous Wolf Breathing Technique"!
Breathing methods are divided into two types: ordinary and esoteric.
Anyone can practice the ordinary breathing method. As for the level of achievement, it all depends on the talent and luck of the practitioner.
The secret breathing method is also called the bloodline breathing method. Only those with a specific bloodline can practice it.
The guardian knights of the Holy See and several ancient families in the kingdom all have their own secret breathing methods.
Generally speaking, those who practice ordinary breathing methods will have far lower future achievements than those who practice esoteric breathing methods.
Practice ordinary breathing techniques to become a knight. Your talent is outstanding, and it is almost impossible to become a great knight.
Not to mention the legendary knight!
The family that practices the secret breathing method never lacks top experts.
This is why the top level of the kingdom has been firmly controlled by several ancient families for hundreds of years.
The Holy See with its holy guardian knights is even more superior.
From ancient times to the present, top knights have never been commoners.
"Seed of life!"
"Secret medicine?"
Opening the book, with the help of exaggerated understanding ability under absolute rationality, Karl quickly absorbed the essence of the Poison Wolf Breathing Method , and also confirmed that there is generally no problem with the breathing method.
The principle of breathing method is to condense the seeds of life in the human body through various means.
The vitality contained in the life seeds feeds back into the physical body, allowing the practitioner's strength and speed to far exceed the limits of ordinary people.
In the end, it reached the point where it could withstand tigers, tear apart jackals with its hands, and even rival the legendary ancient ferocious beasts.
The secret medicine is a means to assist practice.
Karl is not sure about other breathing methods, but the Poison Wolf Breathing Method cannot even be started without the secret medicine. However, once you get started, the reliance on the secret medicine will be greatly reduced until it is no longer needed.
Turn to the record about the secret medicine.
“A pair of fresh wolf eyes, fifty grams of wolf brain, serpentine grass, the venom sac of a ruby spider...”
“No wonder it’s so cheap!”
< br>"Although these things are not rare, they are almost impossible to collect in the black city where entry and exit are prohibited. Naturally, there is no way to practice the breathing method."
Close the book, Karl thought, and his body gradually Disappear and return to his residence in Signuo City.

The things needed for the secret medicine are not uncommon. You can buy them all in Rouen Street, but they are very scattered and you need to go to many shops. .
And things like wolf eyes and brains are also very weird when purchased separately, and they easily attract attention.
By the time Karl had gathered everything, he had been busy for a long time, and the sun was gradually setting in the west.
"Bang..."
"Poof!"
"Add water, wait until the poisonous sac of the ruby spider melts, put in a wolf eyeball, and use a needle to Puncture..."
In the kitchen.
Karl held the book in one hand, opened the part about making the secret medicine, and cooked it according to the instructions on it.
Various grass stems and special parts of unknown creatures are mixed together, rolling back and forth in the boiling water.
A pungent smell filled the air.
Especially after the poison sac melted, thick smoke rose and the whole kitchen seemed to be shrouded in fog.
Karl concentrated his attention and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
He is not a qualified chef, nor does he know how to mix medicines, so he can only follow the instructions.
"That..."
At this moment, a small voice sounded from behind:
"Baron Karl?"
"Mrs. Mary. "Karl paused, turned around and looked over:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Oh!"
Looking at the surrounding environment, he suddenly realized:
"Did I disturb you?"
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do with it." Landlady Mary waved her hands hurriedly and said with some embarrassment:
"It's just... Jenny is about to take the exam for the singing group. Can you please keep your voice down?"
He then said:
"If you want to do anything, just leave it to me. . ”
The messy sounds, pungent smell, and thick smoke in the kitchen make it difficult to calm down.
“That’s it.” Karl patted his forehead:
"It's my fault that I forgot this, so..."
He thought for a while and said:
"I'll finish what I'm doing first, and I'll change places next time. Don't worry. It will disturb Jenny.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Mary thanked her hurriedly: “If it’s cooking, just leave it to me. You don’t have to do it yourself.”
"It's not cooking." Karl shook his head and refused the other party's help:
"It will be ready soon."
"Then... okay."
Seeing that the other party had a firm attitude , Mary had to retract her move into the kitchen and retreat to the room.
Mary's husband died early, she did not take her husband's surname, and her family relatives were all lower-class commoners.
Living alone with my daughter for many years has been a difficult life.
Now Jenny has the opportunity to be admitted to the Barrow Singing Group, and may even integrate into the aristocracy in the future.
I definitely don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Karl's thoughts started to change. Seeing that the secret medicine was about to be finished, he hurriedly took out the prepared glass bottle and poured it into it.
The dark red liquid is rolling in the glass bottle. If you get closer and smell it, it has a distinct smell of blood.
Secret medicine!
Done.
And such a large amount is enough to be divided into three parts, which should be more than enough for getting started with practice.
Mysterious place.
Karl crossed his legs together, twisted his body into a weird posture, and adjusted his breathing according to the method.
"Gulu..."
A portion of the secret medicine was poured into his mouth.
Not long after.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on the surface of his skin, veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and his breathing became rapid.
Karl felt as if his blood was boiling, and his heart was beating like it was breaking through the limitations of his chest.
The blood is surging in the body, and you can even hear a "swishing" sound.
Hungry!
Hungry!
So hungry!
Opening his eyes suddenly, he stopped his movements and quickly picked up the milk, meatloaf, and jam prepared aside.
Under absolute rationality, even if every cell in his body was rebelling, his expression still only changed.
With the intake of food nutrients, hunger gradually subsides.
“The amount of three meals!”
“It seems that when practicing breathing methods, the digestion capacity of the gastrointestinal tract will be greatly improved. After swallowing a large amount of food so quickly, there is no stomach bloating. I feel and my spirit has become more active.”
Standing up, Karl picked up the broad sword and waved it, feeling a sense of relaxation that had always surpassed his previous feelings.
Strength,
increased!
Just one attempt, the first time to practice, and you can clearly feel the changes in your body.
“Shua!”
Vertical chop!
The broad sword stopped steadily.
Karl charged forward with swords in both hands, and the broad sword whipped up a strong wind.
Angry attack!
Iron door style!
Combat skill - Gale Slash!
Three afterimages emerged out of thin air, crisscrossing the void in front of them, faintly emitting the low whistle of the sky-piercing sword.
“Three afterimages?”
“My grandfather was born with supernatural powers. He could kill the knight’s attendants without practicing the breathing method, but he could only cut out three afterimages.”
"The person I am now shouldn't be much different than he was back then."
Putting away the broadsword, Karl touched his chin.
Under absolute rationality, he would not have an ecstatic expression, he would have calculated everything clearly.
But this time I practiced Gale Swordsmanship, it was obviously much smoother than before.
In the past, performing swordsmanship was like a child wielding a broadsword. Although it could be performed, it was too difficult.
It always feels a bit forced.
Now.
This feeling no longer exists.
"Knight Squire!"
"Now I can be considered a Knight Squire!"
