Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty

"The freshest spiritual fruit from Monkey Mountain, the Blood Flower!"

"Fire Control Jade Bracelet and Diamond Bracelet Style! If you have a water-attribute magical tool of the same level, come and have a look!"

"Imperial Flower, Forget-Sorrow Wine!"

The tribes united, and the market had everything: exotic flowers and plants, humanoid creatures with animal ears and heads and tails, magical instruments that controlled fire and water like magic, and even people selling body-building exercises.

On the blue stone slab, there is a short paragraph written in ancient mysterious hieroglyphics, which is a part of the whole exercise method. Next to the blue rock is a white jade bamboo slip.

"Jiushui, the Body Forging Technique?"

Yan Fang was quite curious about the skills sold in the market. Looking at the words on the stone slab that were 70% similar to the Taoist texts he had seen before, he couldn't help but stop and try to translate and read them.

He had no money on him, so how could he buy anything? But when he saw the words, the desire to read arose in him.

This technique utilizes the characteristics of evil water and combines it with secret medicine to strengthen the body. It starts with the mild red evil water. When the body turns red, it is considered a major success. Then look for the second level of cold water... The higher the grade of the evil water, the better the body-building effect. When all nine levels of water evil are present and the body turns golden, it is considered a major success.

"I'm afraid these nine kinds of evil water are difficult to collect, right?"

After reading the preface, Yan Fang became curious about the various evil waters, so he asked the seller. He remembered that it would take thousands of chapters for the protagonists in the novels of his previous life to collect various evil waters. How could an ordinary person collect them all?

"The first few kinds of evil water are relatively easy to collect. As for red evil water, it is usually produced in places with underground fire. There are many places near bears where it can be produced. The second kind of cold water...you can go to some icy and dangerous places to look for it."

The seller was of sturdy build, with dark skin, muscular body and a very tough look. Judging from his appearance alone, he was even stronger than Xuan and seemed to be able to beat ten Qings.

"Isn't that hot spring water? Hot spring water can strengthen the body?"

Yan Fang knew a little about underground fire, it was nothing more than a volcano. He didn't expect that the hot spring water in the ancient times could be used to strengthen the body, and there were many volcanoes near the tribe, which was terrifying no matter how he thought about it.

"Hot spring water? Even if it's a weaker kind of Red Fire Water, ordinary people can be cooked if they stay there for more than ten minutes."

When the sturdy man saw Yan Fang's surprised expression, he was delighted inside. It was obvious that the person in front of him was not knowledgeable, and he liked people who were not knowledgeable.

"Boy, are you interested? As long as you give me 100 pieces of Qingshen Flower, Chilian Grass, or a fire-attributed magical weapon, this mysterious technique obtained from the ancient immortal ruins will be yours!"

"No, I'm just taking a look."

Yan Fang glanced at the burly man, narrowed his eyes slightly, expressed his refusal, and turned around.

"Aren't you going to buy anything? I can pay for you!"

After leaving the stall, Qing saw that Yanfang did not buy anything, so he enthusiastically wanted to help Yanfang.

"There's something wrong with this strong man. He looks strong on the outside, but he's weak on the inside. His energy and spirit are weaker than a normal person. I'm afraid he's gone astray. His life span will only last for a short time."

Yan Fang shook his head and told the two people around him about his previous observations.

Those who practice the Dao of Painting are the best at observation. Although Yan Fang does not know too many methods of body building, the gap between the sturdy man's appearance and his spirit is too big, so he can see it at a glance.

"I'll go check it out. Qing, you and Yan Fang are waiting for me here."

Upon hearing this, Xuan turned around and went back to the stall selling martial arts techniques, and looked carefully at the burly man and the contents on the stone slab. He himself had his own body-building techniques, so he just took a casual glance and didn't see many problems.

Now looking closely, he was surprised at first, and then solemn. Before the sturdy man could speak, he walked back to Yan Fang and the other man with a gloomy face.

"That person's mental state is indeed a bit problematic. If you hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to see."

“However, the bigger problem is the technique.

This technique is not ordinary. Just looking at the brief introduction, it is quite exquisite, no less than the advanced techniques of the tribe, but it is unsafe and experimental in nature, with high risks. The person behind it must be extraordinary. Qing, go find the guards here to identify it."

In less than a moment, Xuan returned to Yan Fang and told him about his previous observations with a serious expression.

There are bear clans like Qing, and the young patriarch is just

"Ok."

Qing was quite serious when he heard this, and walked towards the guard who was observing not far away. This time, the Six Tribes Fair was held near the Youxiong Tribe, and it was hosted by the Youxiong Tribe. If something went wrong, it would not be good for the Youxiong Tribe.

"Is there something wrong with the technique?"

Yan Fang had read the preface of the technique before, and the overall logic was correct. The method of drawing evil spirits into the body was also very methodical, and there were many safety measures. If he were not currently suffering from cysts, he would have wanted to buy it. Even if he did not practice it, he could still refer to it and lay a foundation for the future.

"Human blood and evil spirits conflict. Moving blood with all your strength may be able to resist the evil spirits, but the external evil spirits cannot be avoided. If you practice, your spiritual orifices will most likely be affected by the evil spirits, causing you to fall into evil ways. There must be something wrong with the preface that completely avoids this point."

Xuan knew that Yan Fang did not understand the knowledge of body building, so he patiently explained it, and then sighed:

"Hey, that person is just a body-building warrior, he can't get the cultivation jade slips, there must be a cultivator behind it, just bullying us humans because we don't have powerful cultivators, and always likes to use us humans to test the skills."

Xiang Xuan was very sad and angry about the current situation of the human race, but he could do nothing about it. Yan Fang also learned a lot from their previous conversations.

In the ancient times, human beings had three ancestors, namely Youchao, Suiren and Ziyi. They were the first group of human beings and lived near Mount Buzhou. They were innate human beings with long lifespan and strong bodies. They had few requirements for food and could eat wind and drink dew.

In the beginning, there were powerful wild beasts all around, and some flowers, plants and trees were also extremely strong, so humans could not use them.

Youchao led the innate human race to repel the powerful wild beasts around them, and moved from primitive "cave living" to "nest living". At that time, the surrounding houses relied on trees and leaves to create canopies, and they also lived in trees.

As time went by, the environment in the prehistoric world gradually changed, the air in the earth became more turbid, the innate human race did not know how to protect themselves, their physical fitness gradually weakened, and they needed to eat more.

However, various foods contain toxins that are harmful to the human body. The air, water, and soil also have more or less evil spirits and magical powers that humans cannot resist, causing humans to develop various diseases.

At this time, Suiren left the tribe to seek a solution, and then learned the method of drilling wood to make fire from Suiniao in Tongming State.

The flames roast the food, the earth, the air, and eliminate the disaster, thus avoiding a disaster.

As for the Ziyi clan, they taught humans to use animal skins to keep warm, use leaves to cover the body, and make grass clothes.

The stories of the first two human ancestors are not too miraculous as Yan Fang, a person in later generations, has heard of them. However, the ancestor of mankind, Ziyi, who existed in the ancient times but was not recorded in ancient books, is more fantastic and mysterious in the ancient times.

Ziyi was the first human being created by Nuwa herself. She was the most beautiful woman in the human race, extremely intelligent, talented, and had a special physique, the Nine Yin Body.

It is said that in those days, a demon general whose name cannot be told saw her and was infatuated with her, causing a lot of trouble. If it were not for the Ziyi clan's clever response, the human race would have been in great trouble.

The human race is born with a Taoist body and is coveted by all parties, but they have no way to practice cultivation. Compared with the various tribes in the prehistoric times, they are abnormally weak. Their members are often devoured by monsters or studied. Therefore, many humans leave their tribes and go to various famous mountains in an attempt to seek a trace of inheritance for the human race.

Xuandu and Ziyi are among them. They are the first ancestors of the human race, the first creatures in the prehistoric world who are born without supernatural powers that mark the boundary between innate and acquired nature. They also have many merits and good fortune.

However, there was no news about the former after he entered Shouyang Mountain. The pessimistic view is that Xuandu had already died of old age. The optimistic view is that Shouyang Mountain is a blessed place, a place for saints to practice, and if you stay there, just breathing will make you live longer. However, Xuandu is still in the saint's test and has not come out yet.

No one knows where the latter went and there has been no news since.

As for the more pessimistic and resentful view, it is believed that those who leave and successfully become disciples will betray the human race and only care about their own freedom.

However, few people think of the ancestor of mankind, nor do they dare to think so. They are all looking forward to the human race having a powerful successor.

Unfortunately, each tribe sent people out generation after generation, only to be disappointed. Until now, the human race has only figured out some body-building methods on their own, but is still weak and bullied by all other races.

If Nuwa had not set up restrictions in this area before she became a saint, forbidding strong people to come here, and if the human race had not been protected by human fire, the human race would have ceased to exist long ago.

Just as Yan Fang and Xuan were talking, Qing also led a team of people in neat leather armor over. These people were the guards arranged by the Bear Tribe.

"bump!"

"clang!"

"Hey, hey, hey! This is a normal transaction! What are you doing?!"

A noise came from the stall, and it turned out that the sturdy man was knocked down and tied up by the guards in silver leather armor in a few moves.

"These people have great physical strength!"

Yan Fang looked at the guards who were coming over. Each of them was more muscular than Xuan, and their movements were quick and decisive. It was obvious that they were all masters, much stronger than the two guards who claimed to be masters during his time in the Western Han Dynasty.

"Well, why didn't Brother Chuan come?"

Xuan looked at the guards for a moment and didn't find any familiar figures, so he asked Qing.

"I don't know. I didn't see him just now."

Qing shook his head. Chuan was a well-known powerful guard in the tribe and he was also very righteous. To be on the safe side, Qing had tried to look for him but couldn't find him.

"what!"

At the same time, a woman's scream was heard from the other end, attracting everyone's attention.

"A body? A guard's body?"

Yan Fang also looked over there. With his eyesight, he saw the situation over there earlier than others. He was slightly shocked. The Youxiong tribe was the largest tribe around, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to kill the Youxiong guards in the market of the six major tribes.

The man lying on the ground looked ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he seemed to be righteous. Apart from the dust and mud covering his face, he seemed not to have taken care of himself, as if he had not washed his face for several days. His body was as burly as the other guards, and there were faint purple-red marks on his dark skin.

"Life spots? On the front of the body?"

Yan Fang remembered that livor mortis would only appear about 4 hours after a person's death, because the blood would accumulate in the blood vessels at the bottom of the corpse due to its own gravity.

Although this is a primitive world, general physical laws still exist, and some of the laws summarized on Earth can still be used here. Even if there is an error in time, the difference will not be too big.

Normally, whichever side is facing down will have corpse spots on it. It is impossible to see corpse spots on the front, so this body must have been moved by someone and hidden for a while.

"The other party is deliberately taking it out to divert attention!"

Yan Fang noticed the differences on the corpse and quickly looked towards the martial arts booth.

The burly man had a bloody mark on his neck and the jade tablet in his hand turned into pieces.
