Under the strong opposition of Xiao Menglong, Russell’s proposal to “eat only the Ice Soul Beads and not the Ice Grain Beads” was aborted without any accident.

Little Menglong is not really stupid. He wants to eat thigh meat like Bingpozhu, and he also wants to eat mosquito legs like Bingxuezhu.

“Quack, quack, quack!”

“Okay, okay, stop howling, I’ll eat everything for you!” Russell surrendered helplessly.

The dark dreamland has indeed expanded, but unfortunately, there is no new magical light blooming around the manor.

On the other hand, in the Nether Light River, there would occasionally be a trace of magical light, but it soon returned to calm. It can be seen that there is indeed a treasure in the river, but it is difficult to find this treasure because the flow of the Youguang River in the warm season is too large.

Russell also stopped at several mussel ponds to see if the mussels had given birth to pearls.

However, after looking at it for a long time, the clam pond was also completely dark, without any light at all.

“There’s no rush.”

Russell comforted himself: “As long as the mussels are still alive, it’s fine. Pearls are not so easy to conceive… By the way, are the mussels in the pond still alive? Forget it, I’ll call Jimmy the Ribs tomorrow to ask.”

After leaving the clam pond, Russell did not stay any longer, but decisively rode the little Dream Dragon and flew beyond the border.

Hula.

After crossing the border, the front suddenly fell into deathly darkness.

Russell looked back and could see that although the dark dream was dim, it seemed so bright and warm in this world that could be so dark that it could make people mad.

Fortunately, the sword butterfly’s light illuminated the way forward, and it was brighter than before.

“Three meters!”

“Haha, the Dark Dream clone has also expanded!”

Russell is particularly happy tonight. This is the joy of harvest: “Before, the sword butterfly and amber worm alone could only illuminate a radius of two meters. Now with the addition of thorn amber worms, it can illuminate a radius of three meters!”

A sphere within the range of three meters is not that big.

But in any case, it is equivalent to the scope of a large living room. Being in this bright area, I feel much more at ease than before.

“Gah!” Xiao Menglong was also happy.

One person, one dragon, one butterfly and one flower, walked forward in the darkness like this, flying to a place far away from the manor’s courtyard.

Nothing was gained, but I felt a full sense of accomplishment tonight.

“Gah.”

“Okay, let’s say goodbye here.” Russell waved his hand and everything turned dark.

……

Next day, the last day of August.

Russell continued to wield the stainless steel sword boringly in his sweat, and used the skill of “Yuangguang Sword Technique” that he had practiced for many times.

Suddenly, as the stainless steel sword slashed forward, he felt the fighting spirit surging all over his body, rushing towards his arms like two tides, then all the obstacles in his arms were washed away, and finally rushed into the palms of his hands.

That moment.

Russell had a trance-like feeling. He felt that as long as he pierced the skin on his palm, he would be able to circulate his fighting energy and pour it into the stainless steel sword in his hand.

“call!”

The feeling receded as quickly as it came, and Russell let out a long breath. He knew that this was just an illusion, and he still had a long way to go before he could release his fighting spirit.

But the harvest watered by sweat has already been collected in his arms.

Hold a sword flower.

He stuck the stainless steel sword on the ground, then looked at his hands happily, feeling the meridians running through his hands, and the fighting spirit running through the meridians, a smile couldn’t help but bloom at the corners of his mouth, and fainted.

“I succeeded… I successfully penetrated the main meridians of my arm!”

In mid-April, the seeds of Dou Qi bloomed successfully, brewing Dou Qi and running in the meridians of the trunk. At the end of August, the meridians of both hands were broken through, allowing the main meridians to connect with the meridians of the arms, and the Zhoutian where Dou Qi circulated was successfully expanded.

“This feeling…the feeling of becoming stronger is really good!”

The pain and numbness of wielding the sword thousands of times are no match for the pleasure of getting stronger at this moment. Russell loves this feeling deeply! “Sir!” Eric noticed the abnormality, quickly stopped practicing, and came over, “What’s wrong with your practice?”

“Congratulations, sir.” Eric’s eyes lit up and he held his hand in a muffled voice.

The four knight followers, Tom, Jack, John and James, also stopped practicing and came around to flatter him.

“Congratulations, sir, on your success in cultivation!”

“Sir, you are really a genius for penetrating the meridians of your arm in such a short time!”

“The meridians in your arms have been opened. Are you still far away from the Great Zhoutian? Your Excellency will soon be promoted to a Great Knight!”

“Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!”

Facing the compliments from his subordinates, Russell smiled proudly, stretched out his hand to press down, and said humbly and sincerely: “Calm down, calm down, it’s just a little breakthrough. It doesn’t deserve such praise. Treat it with a normal heart.”

In fact, this is indeed a bit of a breakthrough.

In addition to the trunk meridians that come with the Little Zhoutian after the seed of Dou Qi blooms, the human body also has the main meridians of the arms, the main meridians of the legs, the main meridians of the neck, the main lumbar meridians, the main meridians of the back, and the most difficult to excavate the main meridians of the head and face. meridians.

After the seven main meridians in total are connected into one, the Dou Qi movement is still only a small Zhoutian.

It is necessary to penetrate more small meridians in the body to form a great circulation route, so as to be promoted to a great knight, and can achieve effects such as releasing fighting energy and enchanting.

all in all.

Russell’s fighting spirit cultivation still has a long way to go.

certainly.

If you can contract a dragon, you don’t even need a giant dragon. Just a two-legged flying dragon can immediately penetrate the meridians of Russell’s body, and then the fighting spirit will be covered by the dragon’s breath, becoming an incredibly powerful flying dragon knight.

Russell has a dragon, but unfortunately he is not an adult…

After a moment of pride, Russell waved Tom, Jack and others to disperse and stop flattering them – the education level of these people was too low, and they only had a few lines over and over again, which really had no new ideas, and it was boring to listen to.

Ram, the valet, handed over a towel, and Russell wiped his sweat.

At this time, Fishman Pork Ribs Jimmy was also brought over by Old Hans. As the head of the court, Old Hans didn’t have much to do, so most of his work was running errands for the manor’s courtyard. After all, he knew most of the serfs in the entire territory.

“Jimmy Spare Ribs, how are the mussels doing in the pond?”

“Sir, out of the four mussel ponds, only two of them have a lot of surviving mussels. The other two ponds have almost all the mussels dead.” Jimmy Pork Ribs replied, “I planted crushed clam shells and River clams with clay residue are not easy to die, but others are easy to die. “

Crushed clam shells, clay slag, gemstone chips, and jade powder, these are the four types of pearl cores chosen by Russell that are related to magic.

Experiments have shown that planting gem chips and jade powder is not effective, and almost all the river mussels die.

The survival rate of planting clay residue and crushed clam shells is pretty good, but a large number of river mussels also died, and some of them are still alive and well.

“I have opened them all and found that these river mussels have not grown pearls. But sir, I saw that there seemed to be very small protrusions on the mantle of several river mussels where we planted the pearl cores… I don’t know if it’s a pearl or a healed scar.”

“You touch a few river clams and I’ll take a look.” Russell became interested. Although there was no magic light in the dark dream, it might be that the pearls were too small and could not shine with magic light.

Jimmy Pork Ribs quickly found a few river clams and placed them in a basin of clear water, waiting for the river clams to open their shells on their own.

After opening it, Russell looked over carefully.

Sure enough, there was a slight bulge on the mantle where the pearl core had been planted. It looked like a pearl was growing, but there was a scar like a wound healing.

It was his first time cultivating pearls, and Russell couldn’t recognize them either.

So after observing for a moment, he waved his hand calmly and said: “We still need to continue to observe, Jimmy Spare Ribs, put them in the pond and raise them… In addition, you can lead someone to catch a batch of river mussels, and then plant them with crushed clam shells and clay residue.” , raise them all in the pond.”

“Okay, sir.”

“Old Hans, whatever Jimmy Chops needs, you are responsible for arranging it. If you need money, you can get it from Butler Morris.”

“Old Hans will help me take care of mussel farming.” Old Hans promised, patting his chest.

At this time, Charles also came to the manor with several officials. Russell directly invited everyone to sit down in the living room, and then started a meeting to arrange the construction of the manor in his absence for more than a month in the future.
