Chapter 17 Revenge (Cultivation)
The method of conquering Qi can only be used after entering the spiritual transformation realm.
Chu Zheng's current cultivation level is far from enough. Although the Qi in the medicinal materials was aroused by him for a moment, it soon returned to its original state.
The decoction sent by Song Lingxue has a lot of ingredients, including velvet antler, licorice, sheep spine, tiger bone powder, and most of them are materials that strengthen muscles and bones.
According to the normal method, it needs to be boiled in water for half an hour, morning and evening.
This is just to lay the foundation for the dragon-tiger body, not to formally practice the dragon-tiger body.
To get started with Dragon and Tiger Body, you need to constantly take bone-strengthening decoctions, and at the same time, you need to strengthen your body, supplemented by medicinal baths. Even those with good bones and bones will need to spend several months before they can get started.
Chu Zheng's situation is completely different. Since he started refining Qi, his body has been continuously strengthened under the baptism of the essence of the sun and moon, and his foundation has already been doubled than that of ordinary people.
Even the initiates of the Dragon and Tiger Body are far inferior to him in terms of physical fitness alone.
This introductory chapter of the dragon and tiger body sent by Song Lingxue has been cultivated to perfection, and the body can have the strength of a thousand catties, but Chu Zheng now has more than a thousand catties of strength.
Seeing that the method of conquering Qi didn't work, Chu Zheng couldn't help but rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he started trying again.
To put it bluntly, taking Qi is no different from eating. If you can’t eat it in the normal way, there will always be other methods.
Chu Zheng opened the two sets of decoctions, kneaded them slowly, and kneaded all the miscellaneous medicinal materials into a ball. The Qi in the various medicinal materials gradually mixed together and began to bump around. .
Then he placed the pill in front of his mouth and nose, the Qi in his body automatically circulated, and he inhaled suddenly.
Sporadic medicinal powder entered his body, followed by a strong energy of vegetation.
The dust of the medicinal materials temporarily built a bridge between these medicines and Chu Zheng's body. He relied on the pure Yuan Qi in his body to successfully attract the essence of the plants and trees.
The Yuan Qi in the two decoctions was not much, and Chu Zheng quickly drank up all of it.
This is the first time Chu Zheng has absorbed Qi other than the essence of the sun and moon, and his feelings are very different.
The essence of vegetation has a unique warm and moist smell, which is much softer than the essence of the sun and moon.
After savoring it for a moment, Chu Zheng suddenly realized something was wrong. The energy of these plants and trees were all Yang in nature, and they were extremely domineering.
If it is boiled into a decoction and mixed with water and air as a buffer, it will be fine. However, if the essence is inhaled directly, the effect of the medicine is too strong.
The young man was already strong in blood, and as the yang energy in his body rose and the qi and blood surged, Chu Zheng's complexion immediately turned red, his energy sank, and he was like a pillar holding up the sky.
After a long while, the fiercely rising Yang Qi slowly calmed down, flowing to the limbs and bones, and the large acupuncture points all over the body began to stimulate the physical body.
An hour later, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes. The medicine ball in his hand had turned into a pile of black dust.
The fabric of the clothes was a little tight. Chu Zheng subconsciously stretched out his hand to rub it, then got out of bed and walked out of the room.
Now that he was only wearing a single suit, he could no longer feel the chill of the winter night. He only felt like a hot spring was rushing through his body. He couldn't help but stretch his muscles and practice his boxing skills.
Whoosh——
As the fist wind roared, Chu Zheng felt that his breathing became smoother, wisps of hot mist evaporated from the top of his head, and the sound of blood rushing through his body , clearly audible.
After a long while, until midnight, Chu Zheng slowly stopped his hand, his pupils overflowing with light, as sharp as a tiger.
Taking the decoction like this, the effect of two doses is stronger than ten doses. With two more doses, his dragon and tiger body will be ready.
When the two are superimposed, his strength will further increase. With every increase in strength, Chu Zheng will feel more secure in his heart.
Clenching his fists, Chu Zheng's eyes suddenly froze slightly. Although his muscles and bones were as strong as a tiger's, he could not rely on his fleshy palms to forcefully receive weapons. This was too unwise.
The situation is unclear now, and there is no telling when the Song Mansion will be attacked. Before fighting with others, he needs to find a weapon that he can use to defend himself, so that he can cope with all changes with stability.
After making some calculations in his mind, Chu Zheng raised his head and glanced at the sky, sat down on the ground, and began to move the sky to absorb the moonlight.
…………
…………
At noon the next day, after a sumptuous lunch, Chu Zheng went to the treasury.
As a martial arts family, in addition to powerful crossbows and heavy armor, the Song family has all kinds of weapons in its arsenal.
Stepping into the arsenal, you will see a dazzling array of weapon racks.
On the wooden frame, there are no fewer than a hundred items of swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, heavy hammers and long sticks.
If you are looking for a handy weapon, this is the perfect place.
Chu Zheng has done a lot of research on ancient weapons. If the distance is far, the first choice is naturally the bow and crossbow. There are no other two, but what he has to consider now is hand-to-hand combat.
Besides, the accuracy of a crossbow cannot be achieved in a day or two.
The current world is different from the feudal dynasties in his previous life. There are real martial arts masters and even immortals.
Their strength is incomparable to ordinary people, and they must be more careful in choosing weapons.
Swords are too fragile, and long weapons such as spears, spears, and spears require months and months of practice before they can be effective.
The Chu government spent a long time selecting in the treasury before choosing a weapon that was barely suitable.
Two short sticks, about three feet long, are quite heavy to hold, weighing at least twenty kilograms each, and they look unattractive.
[Double Cold Iron Mace (Level 0): Cast from Thousand Forged Cold Iron, a slight waste of materials. 】
Buzz——
Chu Zheng tried waving twice, and when he heard the sound of breaking through the air, he couldn't help but nod.
This kind of iron mace is easy to use and powerful. Especially because he is good at strength, he has an absolute advantage when facing weapons like swords.
The most important thing is that it does not need to practice swordsmanship or swordsmanship.
The Song family is very strict about the supervision of weapons, but Chu Zheng’s current status is different from before. After the treasury was emptied, the defense was not as good as before. He took these cold iron maces smoothly. Returned to the residence.
In the next few days, Chu Zheng's life became quite regular. He practiced Qi in the morning, repaired equipment in the treasury during the day, and went back to read some books in the treasury to pass the time at night.
Wait until the night is quiet, then take out the mace and practice dancing for a while to get familiar with it.
Song Lingxue would visit him from time to time and give him some soup and medicine.
Chu Zheng accepts everyone who comes. Now is not the time to be pretentious. The more strength you gain, the easier it will be to respond, and you will have the opportunity to return Song Lingxue's favor.
With the blessing of the decoction, Chu Zheng's dragon and tiger body almost changed every day. His muscles and bones stretched out and he grew taller. His originally well-proportioned figure gradually became wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. It's a bit of a tiger's back.
…………
…………
Within the treasury.
Chu Zheng leaned in front of the case, carefully holding a jade pendant in his hand. There were faint cracks on the jade pendant, which had been broken into three petals.
After a while, a reminder sounded in Chu Zheng’s mind.
[You spent some effort to repair a broken jade pendant, and your skills have improved a bit. 】
[Qingguang Jade Pendant (Level 0): It was once used as a token of love. Later, the man broke his oath and broke the alliance, and was broken into pieces by the woman's own hands. It is entangled with a trace of resentment. If worn for a long time, it will damage the blood. . 】
Chu Zheng frowned slightly and summoned the panel.
[Name: Chu Zheng]
[Cultivation: Level 0]
[Gong Technique: Great Zhou Tianqi General Principle (Level 6/Incomplete), Dragon and Tiger Body (Level 4/Incomplete)...]
[Repairer: Level 0 (298/1000)]
[Remaining number of repairs on the day: 0]
[Currently repairable: The Great Zhou Tianqi General Outline Part 1 (0/1000), Dragon and Tiger Body Part (40/100)]
Panel given The repair times were all used by Chu Zheng on Longhu. Under his efforts, the repairer's experience has also increased a lot, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the thousand mark.
But if you give him some time, he will be upgraded.
"See Miss." Chu Zheng was about to start repairing the next appliance when there was movement outside the house.
Song Lingxue stepped into the room slowly. Seeing that Chu Zheng was still repairing things, she frowned for a moment:
"I told you, there is no need for these days. Come to Fu Ku, focus on practicing and condense Qi as soon as possible.”
Naturally, it was impossible for Chu Zheng to tell the real reason, so he could only bow his head and say:
"Chu Zheng has not forgotten the eldest lady's instructions. I, the dragon and the tiger, have already entered the door."
>"Have you started?"
Song Lingxue was startled. After looking carefully, her eyes couldn't help but flashing with excitement:
"It seems that you have some special talents in the field of external arts."
Looking at Chu Zheng's increasingly generous shoulders, Song Lingxue's eyes flashed slightly.
In just a few days, the dragon-tiger body has already entered the realm of master. If he is given a few more years with this kind of bones, he may not be able to enter the realm of a master through external skills in the future.
After regaining consciousness, Song Lingxue remembered the purpose of coming today, and immediately said:
"Don't leave the house in the next few days, stay at home peacefully, and don't go anywhere."
Chu Zheng's heart moved, and without saying anything, he nodded and said, "Chu Zheng will remember this."
Song Lingxue would not come and say this for no reason. She obviously got some news secretly. Whether it was good or bad, it was impossible to know for the time being.
…………
…………
Changes came much faster than Chu Zheng expected.
At midnight the next day, when Chu Zheng was about to start practicing Qi and moving the heaven and earth, a cry of killing suddenly came from his ears.
The dark sky reflected the light of the fire, and the figures flashed up and down. It was impossible to tell how many people there were at a glance.
Chu Zheng immediately turned around and returned to his room, pulled out two iron maces, held them tightly in his hands, and began to consider advancing or retreating.
…………
…………
The backyard of Song Mansion.
In the side room, Song Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and when he heard the shouting of killing coming from his ears, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately forced his luck and stood up from the couch.
Zhi——
The door of the room was pushed open. Xiaocai entered in a panic. When he saw Song Yun standing barefoot on the ground, his expression suddenly changed:
“䱱You can’t move now, go back and lie down!”
She has been taking care of Song Yun’s daily life these days. No one knows Song Yun’s injury better than her. If he is not careful, his heart will collapse. If it's broken, that's a fatal thing.
"What's the situation now?" Song Yun looked calm and showed no sign of panic.
"The middle courtyard has been blocked by several bodyguards. There will be no danger here for the time being. You can rest assured."
After saying this, Xiaocai stepped forward quickly and wanted to take the place. Song Yun helped him back to the bed.
“Where’s the lady?” Song Yun pushed Xiao Cai away and started to get dressed.
“Miss is also in the middle courtyard.”
Xiao Cai reluctantly took back his hand: "The master of the house is beside the young lady. The young lady's martial arts is even better than yours. You don't have to worry too much."
Song Yun pondered for a while, and his eyes suddenly focused: "That side of the treasury Is anyone there?”
“The treasury is already empty, so it doesn’t matter if it’s lost. Naturally, no one will be there to guard it.”
Listening to Xiao Cai’s words, Song Yun remembered. Chu Zheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, he opened the door, raised his sword and strode away.
…………
.........
Chu Zheng leaned against the courtyard wall and stared at the treasury door not far away, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound behind him. Chu Zheng looked back and happened to catch Song Yun's eyes.
"Follow me, and I will escort you out." Song Yun said in a deep voice, turned around and walked towards the treasury door.
"Are you coming to save me?" Chu Zheng was confused for a moment.
Song Yun's face was as pale as snow, and his tone became more and more urgent: "Don't talk nonsense, I force my luck, I won't last long, leave quickly!"
If Chu Zheng dies, the eldest lady will definitely be sad.
Bang——
Before Song Yun could finish his words, the door of the treasury collapsed and dust flew everywhere.
A figure slowly stepped into the courtyard. He was dressed in night clothes and had a medium build. Only his narrow eyes were exposed. He was holding a long sword and his eyes were full of fierceness.
On the edge of the sword, there is a gray sword light visible to the naked eye.
Song Yun's face became paler and he subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.
The inner energy is revealed. This is a martial arts master who has achieved great success in condensing energy. If he takes one step further, he will be able to reach the level of master.
Even when he was in his prime, he was just the next best thing to him.
He was now seriously injured and it was difficult for him to escape, let alone take Chu Zheng away.
“Let’s go!”
Song Yun suddenly turned around and shouted angrily, but there was only an empty courtyard wall behind him, and Chu Zheng had disappeared.
For a moment, Song Yun looked dazed, turning his head to look at the treasury door, when a familiar yet unfamiliar back came into view.
The moment the gate collapsed, Chu Zheng ran out like a tiger and a leopard, and within a breath, he was already standing in front of the man in black.
Now that he is almost finished, his back is as broad as a mountain, and he is more than a head taller than that man. He is condescending and has a terrifying sense of oppression.
"You..."
The man in black was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took half a step back.
Woo——
The next moment, the shrill sound of breaking through the air was like thunder on the ground, exploding in his ears, and a bad wind hit him from the side.
In a hurry, he could only raise his sword to parry.
Cang!
The iron mace hit the spine of the sword, and the inner energy wrapped around the sword instantly collapsed. Under the fierce force, the sword bent at ninety degrees, and its power continued unabated. It hit his body.
Crack——
With the crisp sound of bones cracking, the body of the man in black was thrown up high, collapsing half of the courtyard wall, and was buried in a cloud of dust, life or death unknown.
Chu Zheng didn't stop, he stepped forward to catch up, swung the mace in his hand again, and smashed it head on!
Poof!
For a moment, what seemed like a rotten watermelon exploded, with red and white things mixed with bone fragments flying everywhere.
After confirming that the person in front of him could no longer stand up, Chu Zheng took back his mace.
Although he had simulated it many times in his mind, Chu Zheng still felt a little nauseous.
Fortunately, the problem is not big.
During the time when he was studying Chinese medicine and studying meridians and acupuncture points, he had come into contact with many corpses of all kinds, and he had already developed some resistance.
"Chu Zheng...you...this..."
For a moment, Song Yun was a little confused. He killed a master of Qi Condensation in two blows. The grandmaster is afraid that this is nothing more than this. Well, even ordinary masters don't have such fierce strength.
And when Chu Zheng took action, he clearly did not feel any fluctuations in his inner energy, which was incredible.
"When did you become a grandmaster?!"
Hearing this, Chu Zheng wiped off the blood stains on his mace and casually replied: "I am born with divine power."
