The nine horses went through the second trial, and all the horses were promoted one after another. Now, only the Luma was left. The Hua family now had one Divine Colt and eight BMW horses.
After a busy day, Hua Kai was either upgrading the horses in the [Family's Secret Territory] or lying in bed to recover his mental strength. At night, the mission was completed. Hua Kai went to the garden and saw Han Jinsheng and Tang Lei sparring.
Han Jinsheng was on the verge of a breakthrough. Ever since Tang Lei had the cultivation method and martial arts, he had improved rapidly. He was now at the eighth level of the Qi Transformation Realm. As long as he could eat his fill, he would have endless energy every day. He would pester Han Jinsheng to spar.
Han Jinsheng was also annoyed these days. Tang Lei was born with great strength. As long as he was not seriously injured, he could recover quickly in half a day. However, Han Jinsheng's arm was still swollen. Tang Lei knew that his martial arts were not as good as Han Jinsheng's, so he used his strength to suppress it. This made Han Jinsheng miserable.
"You two, stop practicing. Come here!" Hua Kai said to the two of them.
Han Jinsheng hurried over when he heard this. Tang Lei seemed to want to continue, but he still put down his weapon and walked over to Hua Kai.
"Tang Lei, you have improved well these days. However, your cultivation method and spear skills are improving too slowly. From now on, you have to practice your spear skills and martial arts for at least two hours every day.
If you only rely on your strength, you won't even have the strength to beat an opponent who is much stronger than you. Moreover, the more you practice, the more vital energy you will need. If your cultivation method is too low, you will be at a disadvantage. "
Hua Kai said to Tang Lei. Tang Lei scratched his head when he heard this. He liked heavy weapons. This [Space Splitter Spear] focused on moves, which did not match his personality.
Moreover, as for the cultivation of mental cultivation methods, because he had an S grade aptitude, his cultivation speed seemed to be okay, so he didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, Hua Kai finally realized one thing.
It was better to nurture a genius from a young age. All of his strengths and specialties would be guided to be consistent with his family's mental cultivation method and martial arts. This way, when he grew up, he would have a better understanding of his family's mental cultivation method and martial arts, and it would be easier for him to cultivate.
For someone like Tang Lei, whose personality and habits had already formed, if he wanted to learn the Hua family's mental cultivation method and martial arts, even if Hua Kai, who was at the Peak of Perfection, taught him diligently, the results were still not satisfactory.
"Go to the side and meditate by yourself to practice the 'Meditation Technique'!
If you haven't reached the Great Perfection Realm at least three times, you can forget about having dinner tonight! "Hua Kai said to Tang Lei furiously.
It had been almost half a month since he had such a good aptitude, but his mental cultivation method and martial arts techniques were still at the entry-level. Even some of the hard work he put in when he returned to Fort Wah Ka from the grasslands had made greater progress than him.
Tang Lei lowered his head and went to the side to practice his heart sutra. Hua Kai looked at Han Jinsheng and motioned for him to follow him into the room.
"You've been practicing with Tang Lei these few days, and your strength has improved very quickly. You've already mastered the 'Space-Splitting Spear', and this is all thanks to the pressure Tang Lei gave you.
"I see that you've already reached the Peak of Qi Transformation Realm, and you're just one step away from breaking through. Go to the 'Heaven Seeking Stone' secret realm and find out where your shortcomings are. When you come out, I'll help you break through."
Hua Kai had just checked that all of Han Jinsheng's attributes had exceeded 40 points, and he was now at the Peak of Perfection, unable to break through. He had already taken the 'Barrier Breaking Pill', and if he took it again this time, the effect might be much worse. Therefore, he planned to enter the 'Alchemy Room' to refine a furnace of 'Rising Dragon Pills'. This way, his chances of breaking through would be much higher. Hua Kai had not used his family's luck points in the past few days other than upgrading the horses.
Since the last time he upgraded the 'Meditation Technique' to the Intermediate Profound Level, he had accumulated 714 family's luck points. These few days, the prosperity and business points of the family's attributes had increased very quickly, and the family's luck points had also increased a little.
This was mainly because of the expansion of the Fort Wah Ka. Therefore, Hua Kai concluded that the fastest way to increase the family's overall strength and luck points was to expand the family. This method was simple and effective, and there were no side effects.
One furnace of [Rising Dragon Pills] made four pills. Not long after Hua Kai left the 'Family Secret Realm', Han Jinsheng also came out. Hua Kai gave him a [Rising Dragon Pill], and within ten minutes, he had broken through.
Han Jinsheng: Mortal Realm Level 1
Potential: A-
Vitality: 43
Strength: 41
Will: 46
Mental Cultivation: Meditation Technique (Intermediate Mystic Mental Cultivation)
Martial Skills: Space Splitting Spear (Intermediate Mystic Spear Art)
Loyalty: 95
Han Jinsheng had broken through to the Mortal Realm, and the Hua family's battle power had increased by another 20 points. With one more Mortal Realm warrior, the Hua family's battle power would reach the standard of a rank 7 family. That moment did not seem so far away.
Han Jinsheng was very happy that he had broken through to the Mortal Realm. He was no longer afraid of Tang Lei coming to challenge him.
The difference between the Mortal Realm and the Qi Transforming Realm was like heaven and earth. He could now beat up four Tang Lei without a problem.
At night, Hua Kai entered the family's space [Weapon Shop] and forged a [Bright Silver Spear] for Han Jinsheng. The [Bright Silver Spear] seemed to have become the standard weapon for Mortal Realm warriors in Fort Wah Ka. It cost very little to forge, and it could be used until the early stage of the Higher Heaven Realm. With one more [Bright Silver Spear], one's battle power would increase by at least half.
The next day, when Hua Kai woke up, he heard screams coming from the yard.
He walked over and saw that it was Han Jinsheng beating up Tang Lei.
Tang Lei was holding a Black Scale Solid Wooden Spear in his hand. It was a black spear that weighed over 140 pounds, and it was barely enough for Tang Lei to use.
Every time he attacked Han Jinsheng with the spear, he would use all of his strength, as if he was facing a ferocious beast.
However, every time his attack was only an inch away from Han Jinsheng, his long spear would be blocked by an invisible True Qi. Han Jinsheng only needed to slightly dodge and he would be able to quickly leave his attack range. Moreover, he had no way to defend against Han Jinsheng's attacks, and could only exchange injuries with him.
The [Innate Divine Strength] was so powerless in the face of absolute strength. Every time Han Jinsheng whipped him with the spear, Tang Lei's whole body trembled. Finally, after more than ten minutes, Tang Lei lay motionless on the ground. Han Jinsheng helped him up and sent him back to his room.
Today, the horse was still recovering and could not go through the third secret realm trial. Hua Kai went to the medicine shop to ask if the Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower had been found.
The shop owner said that it required luck to find special elixirs. Hua Kai added 500 gold coins to the reward and wandered around An Yi City.
As one of the most important cities in Wei State, An Yi City had a much smaller population than Handan. The people here were swift and fierce. There were many restaurants on the street, but only a small teahouse.
Hua Kai did not see his novel in the bookstore here, nor did he see the "Hua Paper" here. It should have not been delivered from Linzi City.
Two days later, Hua Kai rode all the horses into the [Family Secret Realm] again. His Luma was finally promoted to a divine horse. Most of the other BMW's attributes were above 45%, which was already a rare BMW.
Early in the morning of April 29, Hua Kai heard screams coming from the courtyard again.
In the past few days, Han Jinsheng had learned about Tang Lei's abnormal recovery speed. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as the muscles and bones were not hurt, Tang Lei would challenge him again with his black-scaled solid wood spear after being carried to bed for half a day.
Today, Han Jinsheng did not hold back. He used many martial arts skills. Genuine Qi flashed on the [Silver Bright Spear], which made Tang Lei spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Even so, Tang Lei still rushed forward with his black-scaled solid wood spear. However, he also learned to dodge. It was not easy to take a blow from a Qi Realm warrior.
At this time, Hua Kai heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard. He asked the two to stop the competition and opened the door. It was a shop assistant from the medicine shop. He had been meeting him in the medicine shop these days.
"Sir, the Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower you wanted has been found!" The shop assistant looked at Hua Kai and said.
"Found it!
That's great!
Where is the spiritual herb? "Hua Kai asked happily when he heard that the Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower had been found.
"It's in our medicine shop. A villager from outside the city just sent it here. I heard that they suffered a great loss for this Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower," the shop assistant said.
It was dangerous to collect spiritual herbs, not to mention this kind of special fourth-grade spiritual herb. These spiritual herbs were usually accompanied by powerful savage beasts. But no matter what, as long as the villager could bring this spiritual herb back, it was a success.
"Thank you so much!
I want to buy some more spiritual herbs. I wonder if your medicine shop has them! "
Hua Kai took out a list of spiritual herbs. On it were the names of spiritual herbs that could not be found in Handan City's Jishi Hall.
However, there was not a single spiritual herb on the list in An Yi City. Hua Kai estimated that he would not be able to refine those elixir recipes that he lacked in the future.
In the end, he chose more than 160 spiritual herbs from the medicine shop to replenish the stock of the Alchemy Room. He also bought a lot of the most commonly used elixirs such as the Peiyuan Elixir and the Elixir Of Spring. When he paid the bill, Hua Kai knew that the 1,500 gold coins for the Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower was only the reward money. In the end, he still had to pay 1,200 gold coins for the Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower.
As long as he could find the last Bone Corroding Spiritual Flower, Hua Kai was willing to pay any price. When he returned to the inn, he asked Han Jinsheng and Tang Lei to get ready. They would set off for Xiongnu Country to meet Hua Jia Caravan the next morning.
In the evening, it was time for the secret meeting of the family's core members, which was held once every three days. The caravan was about three days away from entering the rocky beach. This year, the caravan led by the Hua family moved much faster than last year because of the new carriages.
The closer they were to the rocky beach area, the more horse bandits there were on the road. Today, Grandpa led the caravan to chase down several groups of horse bandits, but there seemed to be more and more horse bandits monitoring them. Compared with last year, the number and strength of the horse bandits seemed to have increased.
Hua Xing was very worried about this. The rocky beach was the last and most difficult barrier to enter Xiongnu Country. Hua Kai could only rely on the defensive formation of the new carriages, which could effectively resist the attack of the horse bandits.
Hua Zichen was now idle in Leling City. The armies of Qi and Yan had made small contact and probing attacks these days. Recently, Hua Zichen had been arranged to rest in the barracks. It seemed that everyone was preparing for the final battle to determine the final ownership of Leling City.
