7: Yang Yuan Gong
“Let me tell you,” Pan Sheng couldn't help but interject from the side. “Besides the fixed monthly escort mission for fire crystal stones at the end of each month, the guard team also has some sudden missions on weekdays. Most of them are relatively simple, like patrolling the mountains or clearing out You.”
“As for the difficult ones,” Pan Sheng said faintly, “In the recent mission to escort treasure hunters, except for those who stayed behind at the camp, basically no one else returned.”
Wang Meng's expression was also a little dark at this moment.
The Black Rock Mountains are vast and boundless, stretching for thousands of miles without knowing where they lead. There are countless natural treasures within, such as rare mineral veins and precious medicinal materials. However, trying to discover them by luck is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack. One can only rely on treasure hunters to survey the earth's energy to find them.
But opportunities are often accompanied by various dangers. Not to mention the tribal barbarians deep in the mountains, just the wild beasts and ferocious beasts are already difficult enough to deal with.
Even more terrifying is the possibility of encountering fierce beasts and You in the mountains!
Fierce beasts?
You?
Han Yi was a bit overwhelmed and became nervous, “What should I do if I encounter them?”
“I haven't seen them either, how would I know what to do,” Pan Sheng rolled his eyes in annoyance. “I heard my father mention something like this occasionally.”
He changed the subject, his expression becoming solemn.
“Fight fierce beasts, flee from You!”
“Do not enter the mist encountered at night, there are great demons deep in the mountains!”
The atmosphere within the team immediately became a little heavy.
A light laugh broke the silence.
“Alright Pan Sheng, stop scaring the newcomers,” Li Feng scolded with a smile. “We only wander around the periphery when carrying out missions, what danger could there be?”
“Have you practiced Blade Technique before?” He turned his head and asked Han Yi.
Han Yi was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Feng shook his head, “This Instructor Lin.......”
“The eight key points of Basic Knife Technique are: lifting, thrusting, intercepting, blocking, collapsing, chopping, wiping, leading, and wrapping.” Li Feng picked up a saber and demonstrated.
“Remember, the saber should not leave your body, front, back, left, and right. Your hands, feet, shoulders, and arms should turn with the saber.......”
[Realm]: Stamina Refining (59/100)
[Martial Arts]: Mountain Shattering Fist (Mortal Grade, Trait: Stone Crushing, Minor Accomplishment 4/20, can be upgraded); Basic Knife Technique (Mortal Grade, Beginner 2/10, can be upgraded)
“Hmm, not bad.” Li Feng nodded in satisfaction after seeing Han Yi get started.
“Today, you should practice properly first. Tomorrow, gather at Room Nine to discuss the next course of action!”
Han Yi nodded and agreed.
Swish, swish, swish
Wielding the long saber, sweat poured down like rain
Let's take a break, Han Yi gasped for breath.
Let's take this time to look at the 'Yang Yuan Skill'!
Hopefully, this skill isn't as unreliable as Instructor Lin... Han Yi sat in the training ground, flipping through the simple booklet in his hand.
Five hearts facing the sky, consciousness sinking into the Dantian?
Is this posture a bit embarrassing in broad daylight, in front of everyone? Han Yi hesitated a little.
But he looked at the surrounding Disciples
Some had their hands on the ground, their chins resting on their lower abdomen;
Others had their palms and fingers facing the sky, their eyes staring straight ahead.
This doesn't seem like much.
Waves of warmth seemed to circulate in his abdomen, then slowly flowed like babbling streams into his limbs and bones.
Han Yi felt that the flesh inside and outside his entire body had been tempered by qi and blood!
[Name]: Han Yi (16/61)
[Realm]: Stamina Refining (71/100)
[Cultivation Method]: Yang Yuan Skill (Incomplete, Beginner 4/10, can be upgraded)
[Martial Arts]: Mountain Shattering Fist (Mortal Grade, Minor Accomplishment 4/20, Trait: Stone Crushing, can be upgraded); Basic Knife Technique (Mortal Grade, Beginner 2/10)
[Origin Energy Value]: 6
This 'Yang Yuan Skill' is indeed easy to learn and effective. Just over a dozen simple movements have such an effect!
However, Han Yi's gaze sharpened.
Incomplete? No rank displayed?
Never mind, that's not the point. I might have to go out on a mission tomorrow. The urgent priority now is to improve my strength!
With only 6 points of Origin Energy Value, how should I choose?
Although Mountain Shattering Fist and Basic Knife Technique can quickly increase strength, they consume a lot of Origin Energy Value. Moreover, as the Realm improves, cultivation methods clearly increase cultivation more effectively!
There's only one choice. Han Yi no longer hesitated and quickly ran back to the room.
At this time, his overall strength was '6~7'.
Add points!
As Han Yi performed the operation, strands of memories surged into his mind from the depths of his memory, and images appeared in his brain.
Whether he was out on a mission or stationed at the camp, he persisted in cultivating the skill, supplementing with medicine and food, nourishing his body through both methods.
One day, two days......
One month, two months......
Finally, after more than half a year, he successfully broke through!
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his flesh!
Han Yi's muscles bulged one by one, his veins wriggled like earthworms, as if little mice were scurrying under his skin!
Han Yi clenched the bedding in his hands tightly, his teeth gritted, not making a sound!
Gradually, the pain in his flesh began to subside, turning into a warm feeling.
He felt the qi and blood slowly circulating throughout his body with the operation of the 'Yang Yuan Skill'.
Chest, abdomen, lower limbs, torso... These parts that had not been exercised before were slowly tempered by qi and blood. His whole body's flesh, tendons, and bones felt like they were soaking in a hot spring, tingling and extremely comfortable.
The huge contrast created by this before and after difference made him cry out.
“Hmm, comfortable!”
[Name]: Han Yi (16/61)
[Realm]: Refining Skin Late Stage (89/100)
[Cultivation Method]: Yang Yuan Skill (Incomplete, Proficient 0/20, can be upgraded)
[Martial Arts]: Mountain Shattering Fist (Mortal Grade, Trait: Stone Crushing, Minor Accomplishment 4/20, can be upgraded); Basic Knife Technique (Mortal Grade, Beginner 2/10, can be upgraded)
[Origin Energy Value]: 0
“My overall strength has become '8~10', .......”
“Refining Skin Late Stage?” Han Yi was a little surprised. Is the increase in cultivation from improving cultivation methods so effective?
Han Yi suddenly remembered something and took out a short dagger.
Under the stimulation of qi and blood, his entire body's flesh became rough and tough like wood and stone!
Swish!
The short dagger sliced across his arms, but only left a shallow red mark. With a wipe of his hand, the mark was almost invisible!
Skin like wood and stone, making a sound when tapped, greatly increased defense. This is the mark of Refining Skin Late Stage!
Not only that, strength, speed.......
My overall physical quality seems to have improved a lot too!
But after the 'Yang Yuan Skill' reached beginner level, it didn't reach the minor accomplishment stage like Mountain Shattering Fist, but became proficient?
Perhaps the true rank of this 'Yang Yuan Skill' is not as bad as Instructor Lin said... Han Yi thought thoughtfully.
Let's use this qi and blood powder too.
[Realm]: Refining Skin Late Stage (93/100)
Indeed, just as Li Feng said, the qi and blood powder will gradually decrease in effectiveness or even lose its effect as the Realm increases!
I seem to have one more qi and blood powder that I haven't claimed yet. No sooner said than done, Han Yi immediately got up and took action.
Exchange Hall
It was the beginning of the month today, and the Exchange Hall was crowded. Han Yi was just about to step forward to queue and wait.
Beside him, a somewhat sarcastic voice sounded: “Are you Han Yi? I heard you're a Stamina Refining expert who just joined the Ninth Team?”
