The explanation of Qi Force was very detailed, and he had looked up many ancient books, from which he found the allusions. The internal strength of Jin Yong and Gu Long was not groundless. The description of the bronze sword in Emperor Qin's mausoleum was also true, and there were experts who had verified it.
…
Not long after, the majestic walls of the base city and the towering buildings in the city were in sight. Ye Chen sped up and rushed into the city, leaving footprints on the ground with every step he took.
As Ye Chen got closer and closer to the city gate, the number of people in the surroundings gradually increased. When these people saw Ye Chen running while holding an extremely large monster, they were so scared that they all moved to the side to make way for him. While they exclaimed in admiration, they also couldn't help but feel envious.
The guards at the city gate all moved aside, not daring to block his way and check his residence permit.
After Ye Chen entered the city, he went straight to the place where Xu Tianguo and the others lived. He threw the body of the Iron Mastiff under the building, then went up to Xu Tianguo and the others to come down.
"You killed this?" Xu Tianguo looked at the body of the Iron Mastiff and asked in surprise.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "This monster's flesh is very nutritious. It's enough for you to eat and drink. The skin can be made into leather armor. Monsters over Level 10 can't tear it open. From now on, it depends on your own development. Work hard and don't let me down."
Xu Tianguo and the others looked at each other with heavy hearts.
"How's the collection of the body?" Ye Chen looked at Xu Tianguo and asked.
Xu Tianguo smiled bitterly and said, "Recently, we've found the warehouse and negotiated the price. We also recruited a group of ordinary people to advertise in the city. In the past few days, many people have come to sell the body, and the momentum is very fierce.
I'm worried that if this continues, we won't have enough money! "
"Don't worry, just collect as much as you want," Ye Chen said indifferently, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me. I'll find a way."
Xu Tianguo nodded slightly.
After giving some instructions, Ye Chen left and walked towards the general's barracks.
Along the way, he saw many people walking on the lawn. They were quite relaxed. In fact, after an intense battle, most people would find a place to relax. Some people liked to enter luxurious places, while others liked to rest in quiet places.
"Look, is that Ye Chen?"
"Oh, look at his sorry state. His clothes are all gone."
"How dare you challenge Yun So-kyung? Look at yourself first. Even a general is like a dog in front of Yun So-kyung."
Many people looked at Ye Chen with disdain and disdain.
Ye Chen's expression was calm. He didn't pay attention to these people's words. In the eyes of others, he was a brute. This was the result he wanted.
After arriving at the residence, he picked up a towel and walked into the public bath.
There was a public bath in the general's barracks. It used to be a large pool, but it had been remodeled later on. The underground water intake system was connected to the production department. The production department would extract water from the nearby river. After the research department tested it and confirmed that it wasn't harmful to the human body, the water would be poured into the bath.
When Ye Chen arrived, there were already many people in the bath. Some were swimming in the pool, while others were smoking leisurely on the side. There weren't any women.
Female generals were rare in the barracks. Most of them were evolvers and had set up a special bath.
Ye Chen walked over in a pair of large underpants. He washed his body by the side of the pool and rubbed off a lot of filth.
"Eh, the person who challenged Yun So-kyung?"
"Yun So-kyung isn't here these days. Otherwise, he would be in the ground by now."
"Fighting for a woman's affection. This kind of man is really trash."
Many discussions broke out, but Ye Chen acted as if he didn't hear them. He finished washing with a calm expression. Afterward, he lazily soaked for a while under the gazes of the people around him. Only when it was late at night did he leisurely get up and leave.
In the following two days, Ye Chen would occasionally go out to hunt monsters.
Ever since he had gained control of his energy, Ye Chen didn't sleep at night. Instead, he cultivated. This energy was called the aura of life. It existed in thin air and was breathed into the body along with oxygen. It could nourish the soul!
The soul was an even more mysterious existence.
No one could deny its existence, but no one could see it. There was once a scientist who did an experiment to test the weight of a person who was about to die. At the moment of death, the person's weight decreased by one gram!
In the field of super natural science, it was proven that the soul really existed. It was not beyond the scope of science and technology. Just like light, sunlight, and temperature were all energy, the soul was actually a kind of energy, but it was more mysterious.
The soul was burning all the time, and the fuel was the aura of life. When the fuel ran out, the soul would be extinguished. Therefore, the ancients said, "When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out!"
The lamp was equivalent to the soul, and the lamp oil was the aura of life.
He sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees. This was the posture of Buddhist meditation. Many ancient books described this posture. Whether it was Taoist or Buddhist, they all sat cross-legged. This posture was particular. There were many meridians and acupoints in the human body. Among them, the five most suitable acupoints for absorbing the aura of life were the heart of the foot, the heart of the palm, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head. It was called the Five Hearts Towards the Sky. It formed a cycle of aura from bottom to top!
Some people who slept in bed for a long time or did not walk for a long time would feel weak in their legs. Moreover, their mental state would not be good. This was because the acupoints on the soles of the feet had not absorbed the aura of life from the earth for a long time. As a result, their mental state would be low, and their body would gradually deteriorate. This would lead to various diseases.
Therefore, people who exercised and ran often had a very good mental state and body. The first was the blood circulation during running, and the second was the aura of life that the soles of the feet absorbed from the earth.
After sitting cross-legged, Ye Chen's mental state entered a state as calm as water. His whole body began to heat up from the soles of the feet. As time passed, the heat began to move up from the soles of the feet to the lower abdomen. His whole body had a warm feeling. It was not dry heat. If it was dry heat, it meant that he had a side effect when practicing Qi. He had to stop immediately. Otherwise, he would lose control of the flow of Qi in his meridians, causing irreparable damage.
Ye Chen could almost feel the thin aura of life being absorbed from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, the soles of his feet, and the palms of his hands. It circulated throughout his body. His whole body was in a state of floating, as if he was sitting on clouds. It was extremely comfortable.
After one night, Ye Chen felt that the strength in his body had increased by one percent. He needed to increase it by at least three hundred percent before he could reach the second stage of strength. According to normal practice, it would take about a year.
… …
Early in the morning, the sun shone from the horizon.
Ye Chen got out of bed and moved his legs that were a little numb from sitting cross-legged. Then he got out of bed to eat breakfast. For breakfast, he had a heart. He did not know what kind of monster it was. It was fried to medium well, and he ate it like he was eating steak.
Dong dong ~ ~
There was a knock on the door.
Ye Chen got up from the dining table and walked over to open the door. He saw a brown robe blocking his view. Then a bell-like laughter sounded from behind the robe. She smiled and said, "My skills are not bad, right?"
The robe was put down. Murong Xue's beautiful face was a little mischievous.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's so early. Have you eaten breakfast?"
"I ate long ago."
Murong Xue did not think much of it. She handed the robe to Ye Chen and said excitedly, "What do you think? Does it look good?"
"It looks good."
Ye Chen said sincerely. The robe was about the same size as him. For a rich young lady like Murong Xue to be able to sew a piece of animal skin to fit her body, it was indeed very rare.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen suddenly glanced and saw Murong Xue's fingers. He saw that there were a few small blood spots on her originally white and tender fingers. He could not help but be shocked. He slightly tightened his grip on the robe and looked at her in a daze for a while. His eyes gradually softened.
He still remembered that when he was young, only his mother sewed clothes for him. In the middle of the night, she would sit under the light and sew the needle and thread. Sometimes she would have to swat the mosquitoes flying around her feet.
From then on, only his sister and him were left. They depended on each other. They had many friends, but no one was a true friend. In his memory, except for his parents, no one was so good to him!
Never!
Obviously, Murong Xue was not born with the ability to sew. In the process of sewing, her little hand was pricked many times. This needle was made of a special metal and was extremely sharp. Otherwise, it would not be able to pierce through the animal skin.
There was no conspiracy, no exploitation, just pure help.
For Ye Chen, Murong Xue, who had not experienced any danger, was like a piece of pure white paper that he could not bear to tarnish.
… …
He went to look for information about how to meditate, which acupuncture points were involved, etc. Huhu, huhu, it was even later. In a few days, on September 1st, it would be on the shelf and ready to explode.
