In the courtyard
“Brother, I’m going to find Xiaoru. I may stay at her place tonight and won’t come back.”
Chen Yue was wearing a light purple dress, standing at the door of Chen Mu’s room, waving her little hand inside.
“Go ahead.”
Chen Mu was sitting behind a square table, holding a book and reading. When he heard Chen Yue’s words, he looked up at her and nodded slightly at her. Then he lowered his head to read again and took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him.
While he was continuing to read the book, he suddenly felt two cold little hands touching him from behind.
“What are you reading, brother… um, Daxuan Monster Chronicles?”
But it was Chen Yue who quietly came over from behind, wrapped his arms around Chen Mu’s neck from behind, and then tilted his head to look at the book in Chen Mu’s hand.
Chen Mu did not pause at all. He still held the teacup leisurely and took another sip of tea. Then he put the teacup down and said: “The Yu family has a lot of books, and there are many useful books in them. In this Daxuan Monster Chronicles, there are It records the appearance and characteristics of many kinds of monsters. You can take a look at it when you have time. It will be very useful if you are walking outside in the future. “
Compared to the Wutongli City Guards, the Yu family’s collection of books is much richer. It not only contains various annual records of Daxuan, but also similar books such as Daxuan Monster Records, which records countless monsters.
However, according to the book, there are all kinds of strange and numerous monsters in the world. The author of this book only collected part of the information to form this book. The monsters recorded in the book are less than one-tenth of the ten types of monsters in the world.
“Hehe, I don’t like reading. If I go out, my brother will protect me.”
Chen Yue made a face, then let go of his hand, ran out the door and disappeared.
Chen Mu watched her go out, shook his head slightly, and returned his gaze to the book.
Recalling the soft touch that came from behind just now, I couldn’t help but sigh, this girl has really grown up.
More than four months have passed since he came to Yu’s house. It can be said that time flies.
He has been living here for more than four months, quite peacefully, with almost nothing worth mentioning happening. Apart from practicing, he just watches Chen Yue go to the martial arts academy to practice martial arts.
He himself doesn’t go out much. Apart from borrowing some books from the Yu family’s library and reading them, he basically doesn’t have much interaction with the Yu family. He only has the closest ones and a few neighbors across the yard. Be more familiar.
Ever since Chen Mu practiced his sword skills and was favored and promoted by Xu Hongyu, he has not lived such a stable life for a long time.
certainly.
These days seemed peaceful, but to him, changes were happening subtly.
For example, now, his understanding of the world is no longer limited to one mile outside the city, but has expanded to Yu County and even beyond Yu County, and he has some understanding of the situation in the entire Yuzhou.
There are also the seven counties of Yucheng and the various monsters that haunt the world. He also knows a lot about them. Unlike in the past, he only heard the names of some monsters sporadically and knew nothing about others.
also.
It is his realm of body tempering.
Now, after more than four months, we have safely entered the stage of perfecting Yijin!
[Black Jade Muscle Relief Method (96%)]
[Experience: 41 points]
This is the data displayed on the system panel. Yi Jin itself has not reached 100%, but the reason why Chen Mu can judge that he has reached Yi Jin perfection is because all aspects of his body meet the requirements of Yi Jin perfection. characteristics.
For example, if you suddenly exert force with the trunk as the center, the big tendons of the whole body will collapse and spread from the waist and abdomen to the limbs, emitting five loud buzzing sounds, which are the so-called “five sounds”. This is one of the signs of the perfection of Yi Jin. one.
When the Yi Jin is small, the big tendons all over the body collapse slightly, making a dull sound. When the Yi Jin is large, the limbs swinging can make a clear and loud sound. When the Yi Jin is perfect, the body does not move, and just exerts force in place, you can There were five direct explosions.
and.
After he reached 90% of the Yijin method, the system’s requirements for further improvement became higher. To increase it by 1%, 50 experience points were required, which was also an obvious threshold.
When going from 0% to 30%, it only takes 10 points. After crossing the 30% limit, it becomes 20 points. After that, Yi Jin Dacheng crosses 60%, and it becomes 30 points of experience to increase the progress by 1%.
Otherwise, it would not have taken him three months to practice from Yi Jin Dacheng to Yi Jin perfection.
The medicinal power of the second Black Jade Yijin Pill that Xu Hongyu gave him has now been exhausted. Now he is using the ‘Black Jade Yijin Powder’ for practice. In fact, the prescription of Yijin Pill does not contain the black dragon. As for the blood part, the effect was a little worse than that of the Black Jade Yijin Pills, so in the next month or so, it could only push the progress of Yijin to 96%.
“90% has the obvious characteristics of perfecting the tendons. So if you practice this black jade tendons method to 100%, it may correspond to the limit of the Yijin realm, which is equivalent to the extreme skin resurfacing and extreme muscle training that I have practiced before. , are the ultimate in one realm.”
“Right now, I can’t forge my bones for the time being, so I can only continue practicing in this state first.”
Chen Mu turned the Daxuan Monster Chronicles to the last page and put it on the table after reading it.
In fact, when a warrior reaches the perfection of Yijin, he can try bone forging. However, the bone forging pill required for bone forging is a more important part. The bone forging pill is different from the Yijin pill and is not a necessary pill for guidance. Pill, but a drug used to protect the ‘bone marrow’.
Because the warrior has not experienced the cultivation of the internal organs and has not practiced Yuan Gang, he cannot protect the bone marrow by himself, and he is far from meeting the standard of ‘marrow cleansing’. Therefore, the bone forging step requires first protecting the bone body with the bone forging pill. Then use specific bone forging medicine powder to train, as long as you reach the bone forging level and develop an ‘iron bone’, you will no longer need the bone forging pill.
The bone forging method that Chen Mu wants is available in the Yu family’s library, and there are more than one types that can be obtained at will, including the bone forging medicine powder that goes with the bone forging method. Although the medicinal materials are relatively expensive, they are all Can be bought.
The only thing he doesn’t have is the Bone Forging Pill, and without the Bone Forging Pill, although it is possible to forcibly start the practice of the Bone Forging Realm, if one accidentally injures the bone marrow, it will undoubtedly be due to a small injury. Big loss.
“Hongyu hasn’t come to ask me about the progress of Yijin these days. When I improve the Black Jade Yijin method to 100%, he will take the initiative to inform me. I will also start looking for opportunities to obtain some bone forging pills.”
Chen Mu pondered in his heart.
In the past, he thought that the Bone Forging Pill was a kind of elixir that could only be used on an individual basis. However, after learning more about it, he realized that although this thing was precious, it was only based on a handful of pills. One or two pills would not have much effect, and at least one would be needed. A few dozen of them can last for several months, and their size is also very small. One is less than one-tenth the size of a little finger, like a larger grain of sand.
And there are no different types of Bone Forging Pills. There is only one kind, which is effective for any bone forging method. After all, its effect is to protect the bone body. Currently, the only channel through which Yucheng can obtain Bone Forging Pills is the city lord’s share. And…the Demon Slayer Division.
Chen Mu got up and came to the yard.
Since he came to live with the Yu family, he has never had any contact with anyone. Now Yi Jin has entered the state of perfection and has even taken a big step towards the limit of Yi Jin. What’s the point?
With a body that has been trained to the extreme, he has reached the perfection of Yijin. The strength of his body alone is not inferior to that of a person who has just entered the stage of bone forging. If Yijin has also been trained to the limit, he will probably Bone-forging little Chengdu couldn’t confront him head-on.
And he also has both artistic conceptions.
Basically, it can be said that now he has one foot on the top level among all the warriors in Yucheng.
Just as Chen Mu was thinking about it, a servant suddenly walked into the yard and reported in a low voice: “Master, someone from Master Yu’s house next door has come to invite you.”
“Oh, I see.”
Chen Mu was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that Yu Zhen, who lived next door, had a new daughter and invited him to have a full moon drink. It seemed that just today, he had forgotten about it.
Otherwise, Chen Yue should be allowed to stay and take Chen Yue over to say congratulations.
Since Chen Yue had left, he didn’t want to chase her back. Chen Mu turned around and called Wang Ni, helped him change into a luxurious and decent brocade robe, and then went out.
“Mr. Chen, please.”
The person coming from outside was Yu Zhen’s housekeeper, and he bowed respectfully to Chen Mu when he saw him.
The Yu Zhen family is not a direct descendant of the Yu family, but just a branch. However, as the Yu family, there are naturally many servants and even housekeepers. The yard is actually larger than Chen Mu’s, a spacious compound with three rooms and four rooms.
Although he was a member of the Yu family, Yu Zhen did not look down upon the newly moved Chen Mu. He came to greet him the next day. He was one of the few acquaintances of Chen Mu in this area, and he was only thirty years old. He’s not much older than him.
soon.
Chen Mu then came to the yard of Yu Zhen’s house.
At this time, various festive items have been placed in the yard, and banquets have been prepared in the house.
Yu Zhen was greeting the guests. When he saw Chen Mu coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile: “Brother Chen is here. I haven’t seen you for a long time. His demeanor has become more and more handsome. When will we make a marriage?”
He knew that Chen Mu was valued by Xu Hongyu, and if they were to get married, it would probably be with a girl from the Yu family.
“Not urgent, not urgent.”
Chen Mu smiled and followed Yu Zhen into the back room. He looked at his little daughter, who was just one month old. She was very cute. She was not timid when seeing many people. She didn’t cry or make trouble. She just blinked and looked around with her big eyes. There is a very small rouge mark.
Chen Mu praised the cuteness a few times, then took out a white and yellow jade pendant and said: “I don’t have anything rare, and this warm jade pendant is not very valuable, but it has a good meaning. Let’s give it to the little girl as a gift.” ”
“Hey, this thing is still somewhat valuable.”
Yu Zhen pushed and refused twice before accepting, then smiled and arranged for Chen Mu to sit down.
Most of the guests who came here did not know Chen Mu. After whispering with each other, they each knew that Chen Mu was brought back by Xu Hongyu from outside. He was a relatively valued young talent, so some people came forward to greet him and make friends. However, there were also some The children of the Yu family only glanced at it from a distance and didn’t care too much.
Chen Mu was not interested in making friends with anyone. For him, it would be better if no one paid attention to him. He quickly sat down at a table in the corner, ate quietly, and left quietly.
There weren’t many people at the Yu Zhen family’s banquet. After all, they were just a descendant of a branch of the Yu family, and they had a little girl. She was neither the first born nor a male. By the time it got dark, the banquet basically broke up.
This went on until nightfall.
A black shadow appeared silently on the courtyard wall and fell into Yu Zhen’s home. It reappeared a short while later, jumped out of the courtyard wall and quickly disappeared into the night.
At the same time, Chen Mu, who was standing in his yard, looking up at the dim moonlight, suddenly heard his ears twitching slightly.
