Chapter 117 Three Choices! Blacksmith Riot!
In the courtyard.
Gu Sheng is trying to temper his bones. It seems that he is standing still in the courtyard, but in fact the power of Qi and blood in his body has begun to surge. However, Gu Sheng controls it very carefully, and the power of Qi and blood passes through the flesh and blood. Wrapped around the bones.
"Ugh!"
With a muffled groan, there was a sharp pain in his body. This feeling was even more intense than the pain of skin refining and blood refining.
It was like tiny nails piercing the bones and constantly rotating; it was also like an unprotected flesh and blood body falling into hot grease.
Beads of sweat fell on Gu Sheng's forehead, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Bone refining is to use the power of Qi and blood to vibrate the bones, thereby causing their strength to change, which can support flesh, flesh and skin to a greater extent, and there will be a huge leap in strength!
Sizzle!
As the power of Qi and blood slowly tempered, Gu Sheng seemed to hear the subtle vibrations of his bones.
A quarter of an hour later.
Gu Sheng's body was already covered with a layer of sweat. He took a long breath, his face turned pale, and he stopped tempering his bones.
There was helplessness in his eyes.
"Without the Bone Protection Pill, this tempering is really too slow!"
This is Gu Sheng's third attempt at bone tempering.
You can also temper your bones by practicing alone without taking elixirs, but there are several problems.
First, it is very painful. It is no exaggeration to say that the pain of tempering bones is several times that of tempering flesh and blood!
Second, you need to be careful. If you accidentally influx too much energy and blood, it will damage the bones. At least it will affect the continued tempering, and at worst, you will be severely injured. If someone does not know how to mobilize the power of energy and blood, then the second The next day is the end of the banquet!
The first point is that Gu Sheng can endure it. Years of hard training has made his willpower much stronger than ordinary people. His determination to reach the peak of martial arts is also very strong. It would be okay if this is the only thing. The key point is the second point.
With Gu Sheng's advanced level of martial arts, his control over the power of qi and blood is better than that of ordinary people. He can control the influx of qi and blood not to be too much at one time.
But here's the thing.
This is really too slow!
He can't even take advantage of his abundant energy and blood. He can only use a few tenths of his energy and blood to temper his bones at one time. At this rate, Gu Sheng feels that it will take him four to five years to achieve this. Successfully broke through the bone refining realm!
For others, this speed is quite good.
But Gu Sheng couldn't bear it.
Not to mention the fight between Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie in front of him, just thinking about spending several years in a realm slowly made him feel that suffering was a waste of time. He wanted to see the scenery at the peak, and his life span was limited, so he had to hurry up. .
"I have reached the realm of special effects through the transformation of bones. It is already helpful for bone refining. If ordinary people don't have the help of bone protection pills, it will take at least ten years to reach the limit by themselves. If you also include breaking through the bottleneck You may not be able to become a bone refining master in just a short time or even a lifetime!”
Gu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.
The bone refining realm can be regarded as a small watershed to some extent, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Thinking about the huge Canghe County, there are at least a hundred people in the Blood Refining Realm, or even more, but there are only a few in the Bone Refining Realm.
This requires excellent talent or a large accumulation of resources.
"It seems that we must go to Alchemist Ge Qing."
Gu Sheng's eyes flickered. With his current strength comparable to that of the Bronze Bone Realm, he also had the ability to protect himself. At least the flying thunder kicks of the Perfect Realm gave him a great advantage in speed, allowing him to fight and retreat.
"Alchemist Ge Qing's status in Canghe County has always been relatively aloof. Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie have never dared to challenge him, and they have never heard of any bullying. There should be no big problem."
Thinking like this, he had already made up his mind.
I must go there tomorrow, otherwise the efficiency will be too low.
…
It was not difficult to meet Ge Qing. After expressing his wish to purchase bone-protecting pills to Ding An, Gu Sheng was respectfully invited to a manor outside the city by Ding An.
Alchemist Ge Qing does not live in the city.
"Master Li Hu, Alchemist Ge Qing is very busy. You can just tell me your needs when I see you later."
Ding An's attitude towards Gu Sheng was very respectful. At this time, he changed his identity again and showed a perfect cultivation level in the Blood Refining Realm. This was one of the mandatory conditions for purchasing the Bone Protection Pill. Ding An had no idea that Gu Sheng I have contacted him under several identities.
Gu Sheng nodded slightly and looked at the manor quietly.
The manor is large and quiet, but there don't seem to be many servants, which shows that Master Ge Qing is a quiet person.
As for defensive strength.
Doesn't it seem that he is strong on the surface?
Gu Sheng was a little curious, but it was hard to tell secretly. He always felt like he was being watched.
"I understand. Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ding. I understand the etiquette."
Ding Anxin calmed down a little and pointed to the yard in the distance.
"Master Alchemist is waiting for you over there."
Gu Sheng responded and walked towards that direction.
Where he entered his sight, he saw a cluster of flowers, full of vitality. Different from the image of the alchemist in Gu Sheng's imagination, Ge Qing in front of him was wearing brown clothes and trousers, with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, and he was watering and cultivating the soil with great interest.
He doesn't look like a high-ranking alchemist, but a leisurely and contented flower farmer.
Ge Qing turned around and said with a gentle smile:
"I happen to have something on hand, wait until I finish this."
Gu Sheng nodded quickly, surprised in his heart. Ge Qing looked quite old, with white hair and beard, but surprisingly there were no wrinkles on his face, and he was well maintained.
He stepped forward and took the small hoe in Ge Qing's hand, and said with a smile:
"Let me help you."
Ge Qing smiled and nodded. The two of them did not say anything extra, but unexpectedly got busy harmoniously.
Not long after.
Ge Qing stopped and apologized:
"Thank you for your hard work. Let me change clothes."
Gu Sheng waved his hand and said respectfully:
"I disturbed the alchemist's interest."
He felt vaguely that Ge Qing in front of him seemed like an ancient mountain, unfathomable and unpredictable. The shape-shifting and snake-breathing techniques were subconsciously operated more secretly.
Gu Sheng was invited to the quiet room, and the tranquilizing incense rose.
Ge Qing pushed the door open and entered. At this time, Ge Qing changed into a green robe, and his eyebrows were kind and gentle. Even if he did not deliberately show it, he had a transcendent demeanor.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
After he sat down, he seemed to look at Gu Sheng for a few times, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Gu Sheng smiled:
"It is Li Hu's fault for coming here in a presumptuous way and disturbing the alchemist's interest."
Ge Qing shook his head and smiled.
"We are doing this business, so there is no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing. I heard from Ding An that you want to buy bone protection pills?"
Gu Sheng's face became serious.
"That's right, please help me, Master Ge."
Ge Qing took a sip of tea and pondered:
"I believe you have also heard from Ding An that buying bone protection pills from me is not something that can be bought with money alone."
"Please let the alchemist know what the conditions are."
Gu Sheng was already prepared in his heart.
"Then I just said, if you want to buy bone protection pills, it's not difficult, there are three choices."
"The first one, I will support you to practice all the way to the bone refining realm, and the bone protection pills are enough, but you need to protect me for ten years, and the salary will not be less during these ten years."
Seeing that Gu Sheng was unmoved, Ge Qing smiled slightly and continued:
"The second choice, the materials required for refining bone protection pills are not easy. If you can send me a demon bone that meets the requirements, I can exchange it for an equivalent bone protection pill."
"May I ask the alchemist, what is a demon bone that meets the requirements?" Gu Sheng's heart sank.
Ge Qing said:
"Demon blood creatures also have strengths and weaknesses. The beasts with more than half of their blood in their bodies are demon blood that meet the requirements and can nourish such demon bones. However, the strength of such demon blood creatures is not low. Most of them are above the strength of the bone refining realm, and a few may be perfect in the blood refining realm."
Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly.
Let's not talk about whether such a monster can be found. Even if it is found, it may not be possible to kill it. How difficult it is.
Perhaps the bones of the vampire fox hunted by Liu Yuanhu last year meet the requirements, and the demon wolf hunted by Gujiazhuang before does not meet the requirements.
"What about the third option?"
Gu Sheng was ready to return empty-handed.
But Ge Qing smiled and said:
"In fact, most people choose the third option."
"The third option is three thousand taels per bone protection pill. You can buy one from me every three months. The condition is that if my men are in danger, you need to help me once."
Gu Sheng instantly understood what Ge Qing meant. This is to let all the masters of Canghe County stand up for him!
As long as they still want to buy bone protection pills, these people will not break their promises.
Even Ge Qing does not need to deliberately spread the news, these people will be eager to curry favor with him.
"No wonder Ge Qing has such a detached status in Canghe County. He has a neutral position and has the promises of so many masters. If it were me, I would not offend him easily. Maybe... more than..."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.
"Ge Qing himself is also unfathomable enough..."
Being able to stand in Canghe County for so long without being eaten by others, it is impossible without some foundation.
Although one pill in three months is a little less, and three thousand taels per pill is a little expensive, but this is the only channel now, Gu Sheng can only choose to accept it.
He clasped his fists to Ge Qing and said:
"Ge Danshi, I choose the third way. If you need me to help, I will definitely rush there immediately!"
In fact, this is a promise, the kind that is basically not used, so Gu Sheng did not hesitate, and this kind of promise is not the kind of assistance that must be paid for at all costs.
Ge Qing stroked his beard and smiled and nodded.
"Very good, in this case, you wait a moment."
He turned and left, and soon returned with a black wooden box in his hand, and Gu Sheng took out the silver bills that he had prepared long ago.
He brought four thousand taels with him, which was almost all his cash.
Last time he intercepted Han Lu and others, he got more than three thousand taels, and then he sold some of the weapons secrets he had obtained, and also got a lot of silver money.
The money and goods were paid.
Gu Sheng put the small box into his arms, and his heart was slightly excited.
After taking a bone protection pill, the medicinal power can protect the bones for a month, during which time you can fully temper the bones. After a month, Gu Sheng can just change his identity and buy pills again, but during this period he needs to think carefully about how to make money quickly.
Three thousand taels per pill is a lot of money.
Seeing Gu Sheng like this, Ge Qing is no longer surprised, but just reminds him vaguely:
"If you still need bone protection pills, you need to come back after three months."
Gu Sheng's heart suddenly trembled, and he vaguely felt that Ge Qing's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Although he has changed his appearance, this Ge Qing has an extraordinary origin and may have a special way of identification. There are not many warriors in Canghe County who can reach the perfect blood refining realm. If new faces appear frequently, it is indeed easy to arouse suspicion. Gu Sheng couldn't help but temporarily put down his previous idea of changing his identity to buy elixirs and talk about it later.
"Thank you, Master Alchemy, for your advice. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
When Gu Sheng's figure disappeared completely, the corners of Ge Qing's mouth could not help but curve slightly.
"Interesting, there is such a genius in the small Canghe County. At the age of only seventeen years old, he has already reached the perfection of the blood refining realm?"
"The art of changing one's appearance is quite clever."
There was admiration in Ge Qing's eyes.
He didn't take a closer look when he was watering the flowers and cultivating the soil. After entering the quiet room, he discovered that Gu Sheng was definitely not his true appearance. It wasn't that Gu Sheng showed any flaws, but that he had a special way of seeing Gu Sheng's bone age. Or 'spirit'.
In this way, even if the face changed, he could still recognize who it was.
It felt like the change in appearance was just a change of clothes.
"The world is so big, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Ge Qing smiled and took a sip of tea, his eyes far away.
Gu Sheng's matter was just a small episode. As long as it didn't break his rules and everything was fine, he wouldn't take it to heart at all. Quan regarded it as a small adjustment. Even Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie, who were fighting passionately, In his eyes, it was just like playing house.
"This Canghe County... has been here for a long time. Maybe it can be moved to another place. I don't know how long it will take for it to grow up."
He looked at his feet and thought silently.
…
Underground cave.
The sound of clanking is endless, the temperature in the cave is very high, and the steam is steaming.
Helian Tielan was beating the iron block in her hand silently. The Black Sand Gang was watching from a distance, and would pass behind her from time to time. Her face was blank, and she would seize the gap and silently cut a thin small The iron block is hidden.
Then he continued beating as if nothing had happened.
The secret communication was carried out silently.
: "They have recently recruited many new blacksmiths, and their defensive strength has become much weaker."
: "That's right, I don't know what's going on outside."
: "We can't wait any longer. People die every day. Who knows if we will be next!"
: "Let's do it tonight. Tonight is their usual day of drinking. Their defense will be weaker. Then we can create turmoil together!"
: "Okay! When the time comes, let's break the stove together and escape from outside!"
…
The highly skilled blacksmiths were communicating silently through the sound of forging, and the flames in the furnace were reflected in their eyes, which was extremely blazing!
Helian Tielan looked at the handsome young man in the distance, and happened to find that the other person was also looking at him.
The fire in her eyes made her turn her head shyly.
These days, she also knows the other person's name, Pei Xuanxi.
After living for so many years, a feeling she had never felt before emerged in her heart, making her feel a little unnatural.
Pei Xuanxi looked at Helian Tielan's appearance with admiration and admiration in his eyes. He had been obsessed with casting since he was a child. He never thought that one day he would be able to meet such a perfect woman.
It just perfectly fits what I have in mind.
"When we escape together, I must express my feelings to Tie Lan!"
He thought silently in his heart and concentrated on preparing for tonight's action.
One by one, the blacksmiths are gathering strength in the dark.
The members of the Black Sand Gang continued to supervise the work, and from time to time they would be whipped down, leaving the skin and flesh torn.
…
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
The atmosphere outside the cave was very lively, and most of the gang members were drinking freely. They kept using all kinds of vulgar words to vent their frustrations. Leng Yun looked at them without trying to dissuade them.
After all, stationed in this remote place with nothing, it was indeed a bit hard for these gang members.
An occasional drink is not considered indulgent.
The blacksmiths all have shackles on their feet, and some people are watching, so nothing will go wrong.
"Master, I respect you! I wish you will continue to rise in the future, and my brothers will follow you to enjoy the hot and spicy food!"
A confidant came forward to propose a toast, and Leng Yun also became interested.
"Okay! When this is done, I will definitely ask the gang leader for credit for the brothers! Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"
"It's not hard work!"
"With Boss Leng here, it won't be hard at all!"
The words below were full of heroic words, and they had completely forgotten their usual complaints. Let these lawless gang members supervise the work here, and in fact, each one of them had already become impatient.
"Drink! It's all said and done!"
Leng Yun raised his head and finished drinking, and the scene became even more heated.
In the cave.
When the members of the Heisha Gang who were still patrolling heard the vague movement, they couldn't help but look envious, but they had no choice but to come in turns. They were the ones who enjoyed it last time, so naturally they were the ones guarding it this time.
"What are you looking at? You want to drink! Get to work quickly, or be careful with your heads!"
Resentment was vented on the blacksmiths.
The frequency of the sound of whips and curses was obviously much higher.
The blacksmiths all dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Only Helian Tielan and some other highly skilled blacksmiths looked at each other secretly, silently waiting for opportunities and holding back.
Not long after.
The movement outside was much quieter, and some members of the gang had begun to get drunk.
"Ouch!"
A cry of pain suddenly sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Black Sand Gang members. A blacksmith covered his stomach with an uncomfortable expression. .
The already irritable Black Sand Gang member grinned and tightened the whip in his hand.
"Very good! Your skin is itchy, right? Come, let me loosen your skin for you!"
He was not prepared at all. He walked to the blacksmith and whipped him, but the imagined scene of skin and flesh did not appear. The whip was kicked in the hand of the middle-aged blacksmith. The blacksmith's eyes widened, and the ferocious and hateful eyes made people palpitate.
"Fuck your mother!" An angry voice sounded.
Bang!
A hammer was swung out with great force. The gang member's nose bone, eye socket, and cheekbone were instantly cracked. The hammer sank into the head and was stained with red and white liquid. The blacksmith was like crazy, swinging the hammer wildly until the gang member's head was smashed to pieces.
He and his son were captured here together, but his son was beaten to death in front of him.
How could he not hate him?
"You're looking for death!"
"You're rebelling!"
The surrounding Black Sand Gang members were shocked, and after they reacted, they were filled with endless anger. Someone dared to resist!
Shouts came one after another, trying to capture the middle-aged blacksmith.
At this moment.
Chaos suddenly arose!
Clang!
An iron furnace was kicked over, followed by a whirring sound of rising flames. Before the Black Sand Gang members could react, the iron furnaces were kicked over one by one, and the cave was instantly filled with flames. The blacksmiths who had discussed it all attacked at once.
The whole cave was suddenly ablaze with flames.
Pei Xuanxi's loud voice rang out in the cave:
"Everyone, the beasts of the Black Sand Gang won't let us live, let's kill them together!"
He took out a small piece of iron from somewhere, opened the shackles on his feet in a few seconds, and threw the small piece of iron to a blacksmith next to him.
The other blacksmiths followed suit.
They kicked over the stoves in front of them.
The blacksmiths who were close to them had even started fighting with the Black Sand Gang.
Although the warriors of the Black Sand Gang were more elite, there were also warriors among the blacksmiths, especially Helian Tielan and others. This was even more true. At this time, the turmoil continued, and the Black Sand Gang was completely confused.
Everyone was instantly surrounded by flames. The Black Sand Gang members who originally wanted to suppress the rebellion of the blacksmiths were terrified and shouted at the top of their voices:
"Rebellion! These blacksmiths rebelled!"
Helian Tielan and Pei Xuanxi and others looked at each other and saw the caution in each other's eyes. The next moment was the most critical moment.
Outside the cave.
Leng Yun, who was originally squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, suddenly shuddered. He heard the noise and had an ominous premonition in his heart. He saw a blood-stained gang member running over in panic:
"Master, the blacksmiths...these blacksmiths have rebelled!"
Leng Yun's heart sank suddenly.
The fighting had spread outside the cave.
"Damn it!"
He yelled at the drunken gang members in the distance:
"Don't lie down, come and help!"
The half-drunk gang members were awakened by the roar. Seeing the fire and fighting sounds sweeping in the distance, they sobered up instantly and began to tie their belts and rush to support with swords.
"Don't kill them, knock them out!"
Leng Yun shouted hurriedly.
No doubt.
This sentence immediately made the gang members restrained, and the blacksmiths were even more fearless and hammered hard at the vital points. Anyway, you dare not kill me.
Leng Yun gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. If all these blacksmiths were killed and the gang leader's plan was delayed, his fate would definitely be miserable.
He rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.
He kicked a blacksmith away with a casual kick and he fainted.
The cultivation of the Great Perfection of Blood Refining Realm was extremely powerful.
After all, the Black Sand Gang had stronger individual strength. After surviving the early turmoil, they began to gradually gain a foothold and slowly suppressed the blacksmiths. One by one, the blacksmiths were beaten and fainted on the ground.
Leng Yun breathed a sigh of relief, with great anger rising in his eyes, thinking about how to deal with these dishonest guys later.
At this time.
There was a commotion in the distance.
Several members of the Black Sand Gang were killed instantly, and several figures fled in all directions.
Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat.
"Not good! We must not let them escape. If this news is leaked and known by Liu Yuanhu, the consequences will be disastrous!"
His face was gloomy, and he stepped on the sole of his foot and flashed away.
