Do not die

There are many ground cracks in Nuanyun Valley.

Some fissures will continue to spew hot water outwards, while other fissures can see viscous liquid that changes color between dark red and black.

Meng Zhou stood on such a crack in the ground and threw Zhou Quan's body down.

"Gudong——"

With a deep sound, Zhou Quan's body seemed to be sinking into the viscous liquid, but the next moment, the scorching heat ignited his body.

Like a fat particle falling on hot charcoal, it quickly disappeared without leaving any residue.

Zhou Quan probably never figured out until his death that he, a monk at the seventh level of qi training, could be instantly killed by a pharmacist with a lower level of cultivation than himself.

Pharmacist, isn't it always a profession that harms oneself and benefits others, and lacks the means to protect oneself?

"Thank you for being so considerate for me, but if there is a next life, you'd better call me Zhou Buquan."

Meng Zhou turned and left.

If Zhou Quan was really just a patient eager to seek medical treatment, even if the method he used made Meng Zhou unhappy, he would not suddenly kill him.

But when Zhou Quan regarded himself as a rare commodity and tried every means to make a fortune from himself, he began to have murderous intentions in his heart.

When he said that he wanted to "sell" himself to He Shengtang, he didn't even want to wait for a minute and a second, vowing to eliminate this scourge as quickly as possible.

This unexpected episode aroused huge waves in Meng Zhou's heart, but he suppressed all his thoughts and returned to Zuowang Hall as if nothing happened.

After returning to the stone room, Meng Zhou took out a storage bag from his arms.

This was a trophy obtained from Zhou Zhou. Before throwing him into the ground, Meng Zhou put all the valuable items on his body into a storage bag.

As for the worthless items in the storage bag, such as certain items collected out of interest or emotional needs, or spare clothes, he also took them out and made them as burial objects with him.

Meng Zhou was not in a hurry to open the storage bag. Instead, he used his special sensitivity to breath to completely wash away the remaining comprehensive breath on the storage bag. Then he opened the storage bag with three internal spaces. , take inventory.

There are 3 medium-grade spiritual stones and 214 low-grade spiritual stones.

A first-level mid-grade shield-shaped magic weapon.

A first-level mid-grade talisman pen.

There is a spirit-sealing box, and the internal space is much larger than the one Meng Zhou bought with his fifty lower-grade spirit stones.

It contains 50 first-level low-grade completed talismans and 28 first-level medium-grade completed talismans.

As well as 200 unused first-level low-grade runes and 80 first-level mid-level runes, all of which were purchased from the True Talisman Hall.

There are also three first-level high-grade talismans, one attack talisman, and two flying escape talismans.

In addition, there are more than a dozen books and notes.

Among them, more than half are records of Zhou Quan's experience in making talismans, and most of the other classics are related to talisman making.

"Six Methods of Preparing Talisman Materials"

"Five Factors Affecting the Success Rate of Talisman Making"

"Detailed Explanation on Preparing Twenty Kinds of First-Level Low-grade Talismans"

"Detailed Explanation of Preparing Ten First-Level Intermediate Talismans"

"Detailed Explanation of Preparing Five First-Level High-Grade Talismans"

"Run Talk"

In addition, there are two classics, namely:

"Five Martial Arts Quick Methods"

"Book of Spells"

This unexpected windfall greatly enriched Meng Zhou's heritage. On the other hand, through sorting these items, he gained a better understanding of Zhou Quan, who had turned into ashes.

This person is also a talisman maker. His cultivation level is higher than that of Chu Zheng, but his attainments in talisman making are actually lower. He is at the first-level mid-level level.

Although he is a monk in the late stage of Qi training, he is not good at fighting and has few means of dealing with the enemy.

Except for a rarely used first-level mid-level defensive magic weapon, there are not even any offensive magic weapons.

Three first-grade high-grade defensive talismans, one first-grade high-grade attack talisman, and two first-grade high-grade flying escape talismans were his only means of protection.

When he came out to intercept him this time, he never thought about the possibility of a fight.

Faced with his sudden attack, he only had time to play three defensive talismans before he died.

From him, Meng Zhou got a lot of inspiration and lessons.

He took out the robe that had been hidden in the storage bag. In the past, he had always felt that his protection methods were sufficient, so he didn't pay much attention to this top-grade first-class robe and kept it in the storage bag. in the bag.

But now, he doesn't dare to think like this.

He washed away all the foreign energy remaining on it, and after refining it with mana, turned it into the most common style that could provide him with the most complete protection possible.

The sense of security it provides to oneself is much higher than a few defensive talismans, and one is not afraid of any sneak attacks at all.

If the enemy wants to hurt him, he must first pass this level.

Still not enough, he refined the first-order mid-grade shield-shaped magic weapon that originally belonged to Zhou Quan and added it to his equipment arsenal.

Looking at the shining first-class flying sword in his hand, Meng Zhou thought to himself:

"You have to learn a serious sword-handling technique."

In the past, his idea of ​​self-protection was that it was enough.

But now, he doesn't think so anymore. He can use 100% of his power, but he only uses 90%. That's because he is irresponsible to himself!

Then, he looked at the long sword that had broken through three layers of defenses at its best. There were already many cracks on its surface.

This sword is already useless.

"We need to get another high-quality magic sword."

Most of the monks in Nuanyun Valley practice martial arts. Some of them want to gain immediate combat power as soon as possible after becoming monks, and some simply change their professions as warriors.

In addition, there is no shortage of weapon refiners in Nuanyun Valley, and the magical swords used for martial arts only need to ensure that the two core data of hardness and sharpness meet the standards, so they are much easier to refine than magical weapons of the same quality.

For this reason, it is not difficult to find a high-quality magic sword in Nuanyun Valley.

After calculating all this clearly, Meng Zhou finally put down all distracting thoughts and practiced with peace of mind again.

The next day, the night of practice ended.

Cultivation progress +7, skill progress +26.

[Realm: Fifth level of Qi training: 54/100]

[Exercise: Water Nourishing Body Technique Master: 154/1200]

On this day, after practicing hard for a long time, the light body talisman, which was only one step away from the goal, finally took the final step after reading the experience notes left by Zhou Quan.

A successful introduction to the Light Body Talisman.

It only took one day for him to master the Light Body Talisman from the beginning.

Then, an unexpected surprise came to him.

Originally, he had only cracked nearly half of it. He thought that he would have to wait until the Cleansing Talisman became a master or even reached perfection before he would be able to make significant progress in the stone rubbings, so he took many steps forward.

Less than 10% of the entire rubbing stone map was still in the mist, and more than 90% had come to life clearly in his mind.

And this less than 10% mystery does not need to wait until his attainments in Fu Dao are further advanced. Meng Zhou is confident that he can solve it with a simple trial and error elimination method!

With this thought in his mind, he had already taken off the straw rope wrapped around his wrist like a wristband, and began to try and make mistakes over and over again according to his thoughts.

Finally, on the eighth try, the knot structure finally perfectly matched the appearance of the stone rubbing.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything. Without guidance, he can't even tell whether this is right or wrong.

Because when he made the straw rope look like this, nothing abnormal happened in reality.

But Meng Zhou knew that he succeeded this time.

Because in the panel information, Introduction to Knotting has finally changed from "1/100" to "2/100".

Meng Zhou let out a long sigh in his heart, "It seems that focusing on one kind of talisman is still too limiting. It requires not only depth, but also breadth."

For the first time, Meng Zhou felt that leveling was so difficult, but this small improvement also gave him great confidence.

He immediately took out another stone rubbing. Although it was slightly more difficult than the one he had just cracked, it was the simplest of the ninety-eight stone rubbings that had not been cracked.

With his current attainments in Talismans and the experience of successfully deciphering two stone rubbings, 30% of the stone engravings had been cracked without spending much time.

Meng Zhou believed that as long as he spent more time, he would have the confidence to take a few more steps forward even if his attainments in Fu Dao remained at the same level.

"The cracking of the stone carvings is on the right track."
