one's door

In addition, Zhou Yun also noticed that with the gradual improvement of his own skin toughness and endurance, many details of the medicinal bath have changed accordingly, so that the speed of his skin gain has not slowed down due to the elevation of the foundation.Even in Zhang Yan's words, where is this?

If it is the kind of serious physical cultivation on earth, the medicinal bath will almost accompany their entire growth period of cultivation until they can no longer make any progress.

Zhou Yun is naturally excited, but not all excited, but also deeply apprehensive and fearful.

The negative emotions did not come from the more or less malicious eyes of those outside who envied Zhou Yun's good luck.Rather, it came from the medicated bath itself.

The pain of the medicated bath is accompanied by the improvement of the toughness and endurance of the skin and flesh.At the beginning, Zhou Yun felt that there is always a limit to pain, and when he got used to that limit, he would take it calmly.But he was still too young, too taken for granted.

Pain is not necessarily a simple "pain", it can also be soreness, itching, fatigue, convulsions, or even a mixture of all these.The taste is simply indescribable.In addition, the medicated bath will be accompanied by beating. Zhang Yan said that it is "massage", and equipment will be used.At first it was an ordinary wooden stick, then a sawtoothed wooden stick, and then an iron stick... Now it is an iron stick full of protrusions.Going down with a stick will cause the body's own pain to burst out several times at once.

Zhou Yun didn't say anything to anyone. Recently, he was so painful that he cried every time he took a medicinal bath.

"The toughness and endurance of your flesh and blood are reaching the limit of the Body Tempering Realm. One final push will help you fill up the state of your flesh and flesh. After that, you can safely improve the strength of your muscles and bones to cultivate your realm. Wait until you reach the Kaiyuan Realm. Medicine bath." Zhang Yan explained a few words.In fact, I was also shocked by Zhou Yun's sensitivity to medicinal baths. If this kid takes the path of physical training, he must be a once-in-a-century genius.

"Oh." Zhou Yun shrank his neck and swallowed, a little afraid to look at the fragments of medicinal herbs floating in the bucket.Even when I heard that I could take a break for a while, I was a little happy in my heart.

"By the way, teacher, it is rumored that you can also forge soldiers, and what you forge is a big weapon. Can you sell me one?" Zhou Yun asked tentatively.This incident was mentioned when he listened to some students chatting at the same time in the martial arts academy the day before yesterday.Be careful, try to ask today to see if it works.

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "You can't use those things. If someone finds out, they will kill you when you go out. Do you understand if you kill someone? Or do you think that no one will touch you because your father is Zhou Cang?"

For Zhou Yun, Zhang Yan really likes this kid.Polite, able to endure hardships, intelligent, without losing the ambition and innocence that a young man should have.That's fine.He didn't want the other party's mind to be tied up and be led astray by some unnecessary troubles, and the good time was wasted for nothing.

But Zhou Yun shook his head again and again and said, "No, teacher. I don't dare to run around with the sword you forged at my level. I'm also afraid. But next month is my father's birthday, and I'm going to prepare a gift for him. His long knife is not good. It was damaged when he was fighting with others a few years ago. He wanted to ask for a good one, but he never had a chance to get it.

Teacher, if it is convenient for you, can you leave one for me?Don't worry, I have money. The old man at home gives me a lot of money every year, and I save it.If it’s not enough, I can ask my mother for it, she has it. "

"Huh? Master Zhou's birthday is coming?"

"Well, the sixth day of next month."

Zhang Yan nodded.Zhou Cang is a friend.Not the kind of friends who only exchanged benefits at the beginning, but the kind of friends who are closer to Zhang Yan now.Therefore, Zhang Yan had to remember this matter.But is the little brat spending money so lavishly?

So Zhang Yan said: "No, I will take care of sending the weapon. It is my gift to your father. You can think about your gift separately. Also, keep this matter secret, otherwise I will give you a double dose next time." massage. Do you understand?"

"Ah?! Teacher..."

"Understand?"

"Understood." What else could Zhou Yun say?In front of the bathtub, if he dared to say a word more, he would be punished miserably.The teacher is definitely a narrow-minded person, Zhou Yun has already discovered this.

The morning class ended with Zhou Yun crying louder and worse than yesterday.And in the afternoon, because Princess Qingling hadn't come back yet, it was still time for Zhang Yan to enrich his skills.He enjoyed this state of quietly studying the vast knowledge of Taoism.In addition, he will not be hungry, thirsty, or tired now, forgetting that the passage of time is always inadvertent.

"Although Zhou Cang didn't go to the front line, as a military officer, he can't carry a sword, right? It has to be a knife, long enough and heavy enough!"

There are not so many bells and whistles for you to play on the battlefield, and the dexterity of the sword is more displayed in one-on-one or small-scale fights.On the military battlefield, the heavy machete is the protagonist who will always be loved by soldiers.

Chapter 238

In Zhang Yan's mind, Tang Dao was the most suitable heavy knife for chopping on the battlefield.The appearance is domineering and rigid, and the practicality is full, and there are no fancy parts. Every point is designed to facilitate the knife holder to kill the enemy more smoothly.

From the corner, find the remaining refining materials brought over last time.Zhang Yan started to get out the main part of the knife.

Iron essence, like gold essence, is the essence, it has the hardness and toughness of iron, and it is even more outstanding.More importantly, it is easier to conduct energy.Including aura and vitality.This has already been tried by Zhang Yan repeatedly.What's more, the method he envisioned to set up transmission channels for vitality can really achieve or even exceed his expected effect.It is also one of the fundamental reasons why there is such a commotion outside that even Zhou Yun knows that he can forge powerful weapons.

This is something that Zhang Yan wants to give away. In addition, Zhou Cang is a master of Tongqiao Realm, and he needs higher conductivity in the use of vitality and combat skills, so he put more thought into it.After melting the iron essence with his own pill fire, he pulled out the shape of Tang Dao, and before the temperature dropped, he used his spiritual energy to carve out invisible energy channels in the main body of the blade.

After that, iron crystals are added to increase the sharpness and hardness of the blade, and then some gold essence and other auxiliary materials for refining equipment recently discovered by Zhang Yan are added to form a blade that takes into account both super hardness and sharpness as well as toughness and impact resistance. main body.

To be honest, this rough and ferocious Tang Dao has already taken shape if it comes here.Some of the remaining corners are trimmed in appearance and are just stubs.But Zhang Yan didn't stop there.After all, he has a lot of scrap materials for magic weapons these days, and it's not just staring at this kind of unpopular magic weapon, but to make progress.

Where does progress come from?For example, engrave some of the simplest formations.

Arrays need energy to function.Either the monk's aura is used to supply energy or the spiritual stone is used to supply energy.Or use the spirit gathering array to be self-sufficient.All three ways are fine.But the effect is diminishing backwards and forwards.The spirit gathering array has the worst effect.

But for Zhang Yan, Juling Formation is the most suitable and most suitable choice for multiple applications.So he has been tossing around the spirit-gathering formation and some related small formations these days.

Although it is not familiar now, but it is not impossible to get a little way.

But the good news is that this Tang Dao is big enough, and Zhang Yan has enough space to engrave the lines of the magic circle with aura on it.If one spirit-gathering formation is not enough, then two or three can always engrave some of the simplest practical magic formations on it.

After a while of busy work, Zhang Yan carved a full three spirit-gathering formations on the knife body, and then used a basic magic formation he knew now on the knife body.

Gusts of wind.A basic formation that is often used on weapons.The texture is simple, and it is most suitable for monks like Zhang Yan who are just getting started with formations to practice.

The effect of Breaking Wind Array is not that kind of direct buff, but similar to auxiliary buffs.It can make the blade suffer from less wind resistance during swinging, so that the speed is faster, and the sound of breaking the wind is also smaller.

Simply put, it is "swing speed +1" and "silence +1".

Although this explanation is a bit of a drama, it is also the most intuitive.It is in line with Zhang Yan's expectation of the effect after portraying this formation.

Of course, there are not no more powerful formations.But Zhang Yan couldn't carve it, and couldn't use three crude spirit-gathering arrays to drive it.At least for now, this is the limit of what Zhang Yan can do.

"So be it!"

The moment the last line of the magic circle was completed, a strange stream of light suddenly appeared on the Tang Dao, as if it was reborn.Then all the details of the whole seemed inexplicably harmonious after this stream of light.It doesn't feel like the "ordinary things" before, but has an inexplicable "spirituality".

"Huh? This is... a product?!"

Zhang Yan was very surprised.In the past few days, he has been ups and downs in the scope of the unpopular magic weapon. Sometimes he can feel "just a little bit", and sometimes he feels "not far away".I thought that there was at least half a year before I could refine a high-end magic weapon by myself.

Now I prepared a congratulatory gift for Zhou Cang as if I was practicing, but I accidentally planted willows and willows into shades, so this is a good thing?

Magical artifacts without grades are "not popular".According to the records of the legendary era on the earth, only those who have entered the grade are eligible to be sold in magic weapon shops.

And the grade is divided into four grades.The lowest, that is, the Tang Dao in Zhang Yan's hand at this time belongs to this grade, that is, the lower grade.

Up is the middle and top grade, and then up is the ultimate magic weapon.And the ultimate magic weapon also has another name called "magic weapon".

If there is one, there are two. There will be no success without a reason in the world. If you find the reason, you can improve your craftsmanship later.

In the next few days, Zhang Yan groped to improve his refining skills while comparing it with the Tang Dao, which he named "Zhanfeng".Finally, after the fifth day, he refined a high-grade magic weapon again.And this time, although it is still low-grade, the difficulty of refining is definitely not comparable to that of "Zhanfeng".Because this time the magic weapon that Zhang Yan made was a pendant less than three inches in size.

The pendant is also inlaid with a longevity stone of more than one inch.This is the smallest longevity stone in Zhang Yan's hands now.In this way, the magic circle on the pendant is supplied with energy to achieve the state of keeping the magic circle close to activation.

And the magic circle on this pendant is a rudimentary magic circle that is specially used to store wood lightning methods, and only the simplest lightning methods can be stored.It can be activated instantly when the wearer is attacked, and a thunderbolt will be sent out.Because it is not "thundering", but directly attacked by the lightning stored in the formation, it has no effect even in the house or even underground.

However, because it is not "calling thunder", the power of the thunder must all come from the power of the five-element wood attribute thunder that can be drawn out by the spells stored in the formation.

Zhang Yan tried this formation once before refining.If it is actively activated, an ordinary thunderbolt will directly take out nearly half of the aura in a large-sized spirit stone.But now the longevity stone inlaid on the pendant is so small that a thunderbolt can directly drain it dry.

Although this is a little weak, it is the best and most suitable magic weapon that Zhang Yan can make so far.It can be used by family members, as a means of self-protection to deal with ordinary ghosts or warriors of Yuan Kai and below.

After successfully making the first piece, Zhang Yan continued to make it.It's just that the size of the longevity stone is not so small, and the ones made are relatively large, which is not very beautiful.However, wearing it close to the body without showing it should have no effect.

Chapter 239 Leaking

I don't know when a very weird news spread from the Eastern Army's camp. Because the content was too horrifying, it spread to the top circle of the entire Beijiang County at a terrifying speed.After that, it overflows outward at the same time, and passes it down at the same time.

A new word was mentioned in this shocking news, called "Dan".

It is said that Shi Xuan, commander of the Eastern Army, suddenly sped up the time for accumulating muscle and bone strength that should have been silent for several years or even longer because of this thing called "Dan", and then immediately reached the opportunity to seek a breakthrough, and finally stabilized The breakthrough successfully entered the middle stage of Duanshan Realm.

How did the news get out?No one knows.Where is the source?Not sure either.

In short, this incident was unusual from the beginning.At the same time, it is accompanied by overwhelming doubts and speculations.

Although I don't know what that "Dan" looks like, and I don't know how to use it.But relying on just one thing can send a warrior who has just touched the bottleneck of a realm directly to the next realm?is it possible?What's more, that's a majestic warrior in the mountains!Can break through so easily?

So although the news came out quickly, almost no one took it seriously.Because this news is contrary to everyone's common sense.It's like a completely illogical joke.It's just that the joke was made up in style, and Shi Xuan, the commander of the Eastern Army, was used as the topic, so it spread quickly.

But later, many people keenly discovered that the Eastern Army had no explanation for the news at all.Someone poured dirty water on Shi Xuan, yet Shi Xuan didn't explain?Disdain or another reason?

The reaction of Shi Xuan, commander of the Eastern Army, made many people who hadn't taken the news about "Dan" seriously feel weird, and began to pay attention to this matter secretly.I think there should be a follow-up to this matter.

However, after waiting for more than half a year, the news did not come from the Eastern Army barracks, but from Yuanding Imperial City.

It is said that the Ministry of War ordered Shi Xuan to report the details of his practice three times, and used it as a reference for the warriors of the Ministry of War to break through the Duan Mountain Realm.This is what the Ministry of War Yamen has been doing for a long time, and it is also a benefit for the officers and generals of the Ministry of War Yamen.You can learn some of the most authentic and practical experience in practice as a reference.

Of course, access to these experience descriptions requires some military merit and authority restrictions.Not everyone can watch it, just watch it if you want.

In the military department, there are only a handful of end-mountain warriors like Shi Xuan, not to mention that from the early breakthrough to the mid-term, such precious detailed information is extremely rare.

Therefore, the Yamen of the Ministry of War has been urging.It took almost a year to get Shi Xuan's statement officially.In addition to the various wonderful feelings of breaking through the realm and the problems encountered, etc., there is another eye-catching description: Dan.

The news in the Ministry of War is like eggs in a dustpan.It looks tight, but it actually leaks everywhere.In addition, this news is really scary, and it directly confirms a piece of news that has been circulated more than half a year ago and has been regarded as imaginary.

There really is such a thing as "Dan" in the world!

And at least [-]% of the reason why Shi Xuan was able to break through so quickly was due to "Dan".

What followed was Shi Xuan's detailed description of the thing called "Bone Strengthening Pill", including the reasons why it could help Shi Xuan.

When these news came out one by one from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the momentum could no longer be stopped.

There was news from the military office, and rumors that had been laughed at as jokes for half a year, and when the two sides were put together, the context immediately became clearer.

The key is not only the "Bone Strengthening Pill", but also who gave it to Shi Xuan.Ask Shi Xuan?No one has the guts.Maybe someone in the Ministry of War knows, after all, since Shi Xuan has said the cause and effect of his breakthrough, there is no reason not to mention the key points.It is very likely that this key information was choked.

But how long can this information last?And it is absolutely impossible to be leak-proof, but how can anyone who has a heart and power fail to find out if they spend a little effort?

At worst, you can watch all directions and listen to all directions to see how and where other forces with connections and means are moving.This kind of thing can only be hidden from the prophet and the hindsight.

As a result, all kinds of news from various channels gradually began to converge towards the same place: Langyuan City, Beijiang County.

Huh?Is it Langyuan City again?There's been a lot going on in this place recently!

First, Beijiang County Sheriff's Office took over the local yamen of Langyuan City.This matter is not a small matter in the entire Nanyuan country, but those who were shocked were the top figures in the official and business circles, and ordinary people would know it if they knew it, and would not take it too seriously.

Then Princess Qingling brought Nanyuan Kingdom its first victory over Huayue Shang Kingdom in more than a hundred years in the ring.After receiving the Ruyi Order, she became the first princess of Nanyuan Kingdom.Then a key to the victory of the first princess was discovered: it was because Princess Qingling participated in a new course taught by a guest teacher named "Zhang Yan" in the martial arts academy of Langyuan City, and got a higher score than her. The strength gain of one's own realm.

Afterwards, before the person named Zhang Yan was contacted by everyone or any family, he emerged with a new identity: a master caster who can forge powerful weapons.

The news about Zhang Yan put the eyes of countless forces on Langyuan City.Now the matter about the "Bone Strengthening Pill" is in Langyuan City again?

How is it such a coincidence?

What a coincidence?What's more coincidental is still behind: the bone strengthening pill is also made by Zhang Yan.

This news is far more difficult to hide than anyone imagined.Because as long as you move, you will be noticed.But what if you don't move and others move first?Willing to be second to others?So this kind of suspicion directly lifted all the veils.

The "Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine" that helped Princess Qingling win; forging powerful weapons; and a scholar of miscellaneous studies; now there is also a miraculous method that even warriors in Duanshan can get great help and effect "Strong bone pill".

Any of these abilities can make a person a scarce talent that is looted by all parties.Now gathered on one person, besides being shocked and lamenting that God treats this person too favorably, there is only one thought: to win over to one's own influence!

But when he wanted to make physical contact or use the old methods to win him over, he couldn't help but stop his hands and feet.Because apart from these astonishing abilities, Zhang Yan also has an identity over his head: the guest teacher of the Wuyuan Academy.

Even if it is a guest teacher, it is still a person who teaches martial arts!Use strong?This... I'm afraid no one would dare.Even getting in touch with Zhang Yan has become a need to be cautious, for fear of being misunderstood as disturbing the people in the martial arts academy.

Lecture on Martial Arts Academy...it is really too tricky...

Chapter 240

After the news of Zhuang Gu Dan broke out, the superimposed influence brought Zhang Yan's reputation from "famous" to "famous".

Some of them had expected it but failed to fully anticipate it, and some were even more caught off guard.

The most unexpected thing is actually the attitude of the martial arts academy.

Just like Zhang Yan was on guard from the beginning.He didn't believe that Shi Xuan, who helped him enter the martial arts academy, really had no selfishness at all.Because of empathy, if he is in Shi Xuan's position, if he meets a person who can refine such a rare treasure as the bone strengthening pill, he will not let it go easily. Some methods are convenient for proper "handling" in the future.

But now, no matter how much Shi Xuan left behind at that time, he knew that he couldn't handle this magical young man who kept throwing out the same ability.

With just a Bone Strengthening Pill, Shi Xuan might be able to rely on his influence and power in Beijiang County to force the Martial Arts Institute, and use "protection" as a condition in exchange for Zhang Yan's intimacy with the Bone Strengthening Pill in the future.But when there was an additional subject of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh with Medicine", Shi Xuan understood that his idea was useless.Otherwise, maybe the news of Zhuanggu Pill can be kept hidden for a longer time.

And there are soldiers casting methods emerging from behind.Talking back and forth that the Martial Arts Institute will let others handle Zhang Yan?

Impossible.

And once the Academy of Martial Arts is watching, or notices, Zhang Yan has a very powerful amulet in Nanyuan Kingdom, or in the entire territory of the human race.Not to mention invulnerability, but at least few people dare to mess with it.

The reason for this is actually that the three words "martial arts academy" carry too much weight, and they cannot be shaken by Nanyuan Kingdom or the so-called forces in the period.

The origin of the martial arts school runs through most of the history of the human race.Even many historians of later generations regard the emergence of the Kobu Academy as a historical watershed in the true rise of the human race.

Before the appearance of the Martial Academy, the life of the human race was a hundred times worse than it is now.Regardless of whether it is a big or small country, all the fish and meat on the chopping board are left to be slaughtered by the monster clan.It is even like the livestock enclosed by the monster clan. Not only do they have to grow food to survive, but they also have to accept the looting and slaughter of the monster clan.Even the monster race's favorite is the flesh and blood of the middle-aged and elderly people of the human race, who think it is chewy and delicious...

At that time, the human race was so weak compared to the monster race that it was a joke.Even if the signs of warriors had begun to appear at that time, it could not change the general trend at all, and could only show their existence in some painless places.There is no way to face the Yaozu organization to effectively resist.

Until Xu Fengyang, who was honored as a martial artist by later generations, appeared.The highest state recorded so far by human warriors is the late stage of the Nine Gates Realm.With this strength, he wrote the book "The Essence of Martial Arts" and established a martial arts school in the rear of the human race, and began to systematically impart various knowledge of martial arts to people with martial arts talents in the race.

Even for a long time, the Academy of Martial Arts will participate in the specific military and government affairs of various countries.It's just that when the monster race and the human race finally reached a relative balance, the Jiangwu Academy pulled back its hands and feet in all directions, and guarded the most fundamental and original will of the Jiangwu Academy with peace of mind.Until today.

So if you want to say which force in the human race is the most powerful, the most feared and relied on by people, it must be the Martial Arts Academy.This is also the reason why the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom has the right to appoint the judges of the Martial Arts Academy, but not the president.Because the daily chores in the martial arts academy of various countries are taken care of by each country, and even some of the expenses involved are borne by the national treasury of each country.The purpose is to use the martial arts academy to train qualified martial artists for their own country.However, the independence of the Military Academy is not something that countries are qualified to interfere with.

It is precisely because of the huge and profound strength and heritage of the Martial Arts Institute that those forces who are eager to take Zhang Yan away at this moment are a little helpless.

Come hard?Leaving aside whether Zhang Yan is really as easy to deal with as the rumors say, do you dare to touch his identity as a guest teacher in the martial arts academy?

Then there are only two options left: overcast and soft.The order of priority should be courtesy first and soldiers later, so that the opponent will not be driven in the opposite direction as soon as they come up.

This also caused Zhang Yan's house to be bustling like a city near the door.There were as many gold-plated invitations as there were snowflakes.In the words of my younger sister Zhang Huiyuan, these bronzing invitations, scraping off the gold powder on them, probably made more money than the woodware shop she worked in in a day.
