Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 47: Bandits and Gaomen

Zhao Changhe had long wanted to leave this small pond, but he had never been able to determine the point at which he would leave, because he stayed here to accumulate practice. However, he could not predict the progress of his practice before.

But this moment is certain.

When he had just traveled through time and had nowhere to look for a single skill, Zhao Changhe would never have imagined that he would be so calm about breaking through to the third level of the Profound Pass within a few months. It has only been more than half a month since I broke through to the second level, and I have begun to make ambitious plans for the third level...

You must know that Professor Sun and Fang Buping are only at the fourth level of Xuan Guan. They are both in their thirties and have been practicing for more than 20 years. This kind of cultivation has become an elite in all the vast rivers and lakes. Fang Buping can be the leader of the branch, Sun Jiaoxi's status as the right-hand man is no worse than him, and Lin Feihu is also the leader of the fourth level.

One level of entrance and one level of sky, how many people in the world waste their lives without seeing the end.

Of course, this depends on the factors of each person’s qualifications and skill level. Not everyone has to practice for more than ten or twenty years. Yue Hongling is already at the eighth level at the age of nineteen. He doesn’t know what adventures he has had in the world before. People cannot be compared.

So the world is busy, but the dragon is hiding in the abyss.

Xia Chichi is also talented and intelligent, and his mother taught him top-notch magical skills since he was a child. At the age of sixteen, he was able to reach the fourth and fifth levels of the Mysterious Pass. Even a slight win at one level is completely expected.

But Zhao Changhe was originally not good enough. Most people, including the master-level Suzaku, first judged Zhao Changhe's future as an older young man who had no future. I only started practicing martial arts when I was nineteen, and my foundation is too poor. It might take ten years to get to the third level of Xuan Guan, and I might not be able to reach it in my lifetime.

The Blood Evil Technique is almost the only technique that can bypass the disadvantage of age and take shortcuts through physical advantages. Therefore, no matter how many disadvantages there are, Zhao Changhe cannot give up.

Originally, if he wanted to cultivate both internal and external skills, it would be impossible for his internal skills to circumvent this disadvantage, but as a result, he encountered Xia Longyuan's inheritance. Not to mention skipping the entry process, it was still a compatible skill. Maybe it won't be able to escape the disadvantage of age even in the later stages of training, but it doesn't need to be used as the main skill to slowly grind through the Xuan Pass. If it is only used as the blood evil skill to assist in passing the level and as an extra backup blue bar, it is another shortcut among shortcuts.

With such advantages, why not try the triple entrance hall? It might get slower in the future, never mind.

…………

The gangsters in the cottage discovered that Mrs. Yazhai had run away. The village owner had a gloomy face for several days. The atmosphere in the cottage was tense, and no one dared to speak loudly.

Well, you know that Zhao Boss Nafu Gang will not be able to control his wife sooner or later.

It’s better not to find someone so beautiful in the future. What’s the use of looking like Yue Hongling? It’s not like she really married Yue Hongling. By the way, I was reminded by the tragic example of the boss. Now no one here dares to ask for Zhenyue Hongling. Just think about it and you know how tragic it will be for the family brother in the future. When will he run away, do you have anything to do?

The boss doesn't talk much these days, but he seems to have turned his grief into an appetite. He is very good at eating. He has three pounds of meat and three large bowls of rice in one meal, and he doesn't know how his stomach can hold it. If the village had not become rich recently, he would have made the old village poor with the way he was eating.

After eating, I boxed, practiced swordsmanship, archery, and squatted on horseback while holding a stone lock weighing several hundred kilograms.

Then I went to take a medicinal bath in the house. I could hear muffled screams coming from the house in the middle of the night. It seemed that the dosage of the medicinal bath was increased.

Although he seems to be like this every day, he has really been working hard recently.

After all, my wife ran away, and I lost a place to vent my energy, so I wouldn’t be overstretched.

Who dares to imagine that Zhao Changhe is frantically ingesting nutrients and converting them into physical energy and blood supplies required for the third level of Blood Evil Kung Fu? He dares to think so after practicing for only a few months!

Zhao Changhe himself feels that it is not enough. Although he feels that the third level will not be difficult, he still underestimated the strength of Qi and blood required between the second and third levels. Currently, he has filled up half of it at most, relying on food and medicine. Bathing can only be accumulated over time, and it is unlikely to be achieved in a short time.

In fact, it is fitness. This thing never works in a short time.

But there is one significant difference from fitness. If you have good medicine, you can directly fill the energy and blood needs, which is much more effective than taking protein powder.

"Tie Zhu, is there any news about the medicine I asked you to find in the city?"

"Boss, the Qi and Blood Powder you want is not sold in the city..."

"It's normal for patent medicines not to be sold. This is an auxiliary medicine recorded in our Blood Evil Art. How can others sell it? Are you a pig?" Zhao Changhe said angrily: "Where are the medicinal materials I listed? We can Prepare your own medicine. This is making soup and making powder, not Taoist refining elixirs. What's so difficult about it?"

"There are some medicinal materials, but not many." Tie Zhu took out a package: "That's all..."

Seeing that there was medicine, Zhao Changhe looked better, but still a little strange: "Why is there so little?"

"Well, Captain Fang often buys this kind of medicine, and the dosage is quite large."

Zhao Changhe was startled and scratched his head.

I’m afraid Fang Buping is not really targeting this. If he was, then this package wouldn’t be left to you. It's because those rudders are all practicing related skills, and everyone has a need for them. Naturally, the amount is not small. It's normal that there aren't many left in such a remote town.

It was because I had no foresight and did not prepare these medicines first... But no one thought beforehand that they would rush to the third level of the entrance hall so soon. Fang Buping didn't dare to think about it, otherwise they would have been searched out...

"It's okay to have these. It can last you a few days. Use them first. You can go to a distant town to help me look for them. It doesn't matter how many days it takes." Zhao Changhe sighed: "She said, don't practice kung fu. Impatient, I have been a little impatient these days. ”

The gangsters peeked at the village leader with strange expressions. The man who ran away from his wife was so pitiful. They still kept talking to him after several days.

Zhao Changhe knew what these guys were thinking, and he had no intention of defending himself. You couldn't say that your wife Yazhai at that time was Yue Hongling, and she would leave naturally after her affairs were done? What a fool.

He picked up the medicine and silently went back to the house to prepare the mixture and let others tell him.

I feel that every separation can make people grow up a little.

In fact, after the Chinese New Year, I am one year older and twenty...

I always feel that the few months that have passed in this world have made people grow up faster than in previous years. Is this the so-called time in the world that makes people grow old?

Zhao Changhe looked at the steam on the medicine jar and suddenly laughed.

"Your practice has been relatively quiet these days. You are not jumping around like a rabbit like before." Cui Yuanyong looked at his sister with a sigh: "If you can calm down and study hard, what will happen now?" Maybe we only have the second level of entrance hall now? The most talented genius in our family should be you. It’s a pity to waste your talent like this.”

"Okay, okay, from childhood to now, my ears can feel the calluses. As long as you practice well, why should I practice? It's hard, tiring and boring."

"If you are content with being a poet and scholar like other girls, it doesn't matter if you marry a good family in the future. But? I think the bounty hunter is interesting, but I don't work hard... Isn’t this just seeking death?”

"Who in the world dares to touch the Cui family?"

"In troubled times, the name of the Cui family may not be useful everywhere. If nothing else, the Four Elephant Sect is eager to kill a Cui family member to sacrifice the flag... not to mention that father and brother cannot protect you for the rest of your life." Cui Yuan Yong sighed: "After the New Year, I'm sixteen, it's time to grow up."

"My birthday is at the end of the year! It's early, it's only fifteen, fifteen!"

"Okay, okay, fifteen." Cui Yuanyong had nothing to do with his sister. He shook his head and handed over a pill: "Your progress in the past few days is acceptable. If you can do this, there will be ten more." You should be able to break through in just one day, and it won’t take the expected two months. This is the Qingxuan Pill. If you take it then, you can break through the barrier."

"Stingy, just one?"

"Okay, okay, I'll give you three." Cui Yuanyong sighed again: "People are miserable and dissatisfied... Zhao Changhe sent people to buy medicine in the city, and only those low-end medicinal materials were collected. You are sitting on it. There are not enough high-quality elixirs.”

"Why is he buying medicine? Is he sick?"

"If I'm not wrong, he is also seeking to break through the third heaven." Cui Yuanyong looked at his sister thoughtfully: "He has been practicing martial arts for about three months, relying on the things in the cottage. You have to fight for even a piece of meat."

The girl's eyes widened: "Impossible! I will be faster than him this time!"
