Do not die

In the stone living room.

Yan Xiong and Miao Lin who came to visit had already left, and Meng Zhou looked at an open long box on the table in front of him.

The long box was divided into three compartments, and the middle compartment with the largest space was filled with low-grade spiritual stones.

There are thick stacks of books and classics placed in the grids on the left and right sides.

Eight hundred low-grade spiritual stones, plus two large sets of inheritance classics carefully compiled by the two of them, were Yan Xiong's thank you gift.

Yan Xiong also explained apologetically that these spiritual stones were far from enough to match the help Meng Zhou gave him.

Not only was the erysipelas completely removed from his body, it also allowed his cultivation to rise two levels in a row in just over a month, from the sixth level of Qi training to the current eighth level, which directly transformed him from a life on the line. The down-and-out cultivator transformed into a potential new star who was qualified to peep into the mysteries of foundation building.

Compared with the kindness of being reborn, no amount of spiritual stones is enough to repay him.

But they really don't have many spirit stones, because Miao Lin, who is not very talented in alchemy, in order to seize the time to make progress, invested a steady stream of spirit stone resources into trying high-quality new elixirs again and again, and then in Earth Fire It was burned in the alchemy furnace, literally burning money.

Therefore, the two carefully compiled two sets of inheritance classics for him.

One of them is an incomplete second-level alchemy inheritance that Miao Lin pieced together from various sources.

In addition, with the cooperation of Yan Xiong's long-term elixir testing, Miao Lin, who was not very talented, made detailed records and reflections on every success and failure.

Through these records, the growth trajectory of Miao Lin, a first-level mid-level alchemist, can be clearly restored.

When introducing this part of the content, Miao Lin herself was relatively shy, because these records fully exposed the fact that her alchemy talent was average.

In popular opinion, the value of the incomplete second-level alchemy inheritance is much higher than Miao Lin's notes, but Meng Zhou's view is exactly the opposite.

He believes that the value of the latter is higher than the former.

Meng Zhou has also come into contact with many professional inheritance classics, and he has basically read through all the Talisman inheritance he received from Zhou Quan.

He discovered a big problem, and the bigger problem was that no one else, except him, realized it was a problem at all.

Those inherited classics all emphasize the conclusion but ignore the process, or even completely ignore the process.

For example, the talisman-making classics will tell you in detail how to draw a certain talisman, but there is no intermediate process at all.

Why is the structure of this part like this? Why are these lines connected in this way? What is the hidden meaning here? The similarity between these two places is so high. How to avoid confusion...

Not at all.

It's like a math problem, with only questions and answers.

In addition, there is a "Qiangqiang" mentality in inheriting classics, which is even more straightforward than in reality.

Taking the same example of Talisman, the same type of Talisman can be drawn in the hands of Talisman Makers of different levels, and the drawing techniques are also different, and they are not copied in the same way.

Then, everyone takes it for granted that the more sophisticated drawing skills mastered by the stronger ones are more qualified to be passed on to those who come after them as standard answers.

The path that those mediocre people take step by step will only look crude and clumsy in comparison.

But according to Meng Zhou's thinking, the situation is exactly the opposite.

Records of alchemy growth such as Miao Lin's notes are more valuable than those "obvious" and "well-known" alchemy methods given by alchemy geniuses.

Meng Zhou picked up a notebook and opened a page at random. It recorded Miao Lin's thirty-seventh failure in refining a certain elixir and Yan Xiong's detailed records of various symptoms and reactions after trying the elixir. He also summarized and analyzed based on Yan Xiong's feedback. Explain the reasons for the failure and the direction and specific methods for next improvement.

And such failure records can be found on almost every page of Miao Lin's notes.

"This is an alchemist with rational and scientific thinking."

Meng Zhou also diagnosed and treated many alchemists, and would chat with them during diagnosis and treatment to learn about the characteristics of each profession.

The experiences shared by those alchemists are full of various "feelings".

Not only alchemists, but also weapon refiners and talisman makers.

Even when Chu Zheng imparted his experience in making talismans, it was also within the music and rhythm. Going down to the root, it was still the "feeling".

The common impression they gave Meng Zhou was that they regarded themselves as art workers, and the magic weapon, elixir, talisman, or anything else that was to be born in their hands was a work of art that needed to be created by their own hands. .

This is somewhat contrary to Meng Zhou's idea. He believes that instead of talking about mysterious and elusive "feelings", it is better to sit down quietly and study each profession, each magic weapon, the refining of elixirs or the production of talismans. Perform standard quantification.

Miao Lin is the first professional he has met who doesn't talk about "feeling" but only talks about facts. This may be related to the fact that his talent is average and his "feeling" is too slow. If her talent was better, she would never take this path. Such an awkward road.

But facts are facts.

After briefly looking through these notes, many thoughts flashed through Meng Zhou's mind.

He truly felt that these notes were of great value, and even if they were taken alone as a reward, they would still be of sufficient value.

Then, Meng Zhou looked at another set of inheritance classics compiled by Yan Xiong.

Compared with the alchemy classics prepared by Miao Lin, the contents compiled by Yan Xiong are much more complicated.

The first is a fire-based practice method called "Fire and Fire Technique". Although this fire-based practice method is relatively popular, its advantage is that it can perfectly fit with various foundation-building practices. In addition, its power is not outstanding. Many casual practitioners regard it as a fundamental skill.

There is also a spell book that is specially designed to be used with "The Fiery Art", most of which are fire spells, and there are also some spells from other systems that can complement each other.

He placed these contents at the top, but Meng Zhou paid the least attention.

He paid more attention to the following books. One of them was the martial arts body horizontal training method that he already had in his hand. The notes were much newer than the one Yan Xiong gave him that day. It seemed that he had written them silently recently.

The next book contains some of Yan Xiong's insights into the path of poison. This is also a wonderful by-product of his long-term trouble with erysipelas.

After browsing for a while, Meng Zhou's attention was attracted by the last classic.

This is a compilation of martial arts skills compiled by Yan Xiong. Many of the martial arts skills are also in the memory of the previous master, or highly similar ones can be found.

What stood out to Meng Zhou the most were the various special martial arts that matched Yan Xiong's powerful body.

Their function is to enhance the five senses of the practitioner.

For example, position recognition by listening to sound can help you distinguish the distance and distance based on the sound in a dark environment or when your eyes are damaged. Eventually, you can even build a world purely composed of sound in your mind. Isn't this a sonic radar?

Another example is Wolf Gu Yingshi, which is all about training the eyes. The former is to increase majesty and intimidation, and has a vague meaning of mental attack. The latter is to increase long-sightedness and precise aiming ability, which is a perfect match for arrow path or hidden weapon martial arts.

Seeing these martial arts, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly brightened.

"Yes!"

"Practice this type of martial arts or spells, which is the most cost-effective and error-free option!"

Considering that practicing this type of martial arts together with Yan Xiong's physical horizontal training method can complement each other and achieve twice the result with half the effort, Meng Zhou's plan for the next stage of training gradually became clear.

I confess, I haven't even thought of a name for this martial arts horizontal training method yet.

Long before I started the book, I actually had a name in mind, "Turtle, Snake, Dragon and Elephant". The already practiced Turtle Snake Strength can be seen as its foreshadowing, but after thinking about it, I still felt that this name was too awesome and made me feel uncomfortable. It’s not appropriate to get the protagonist from Yan Xiong.

Now in the Qi training period, I am practicing such a high-end and high-end technique. How can I compile the foundation-building pill-forming Nascent Soul in the future?

You can’t have a higher realm and a more “returning to nature” name, right? The exercises in the Qi training stage are called fighting against the sky and the earth, while the techniques in the Nascent Soul stage are called plowing and hoeing the fields...

But you have to have a name, right?

When I named the character Yan Xiong, I wanted to go in the direction of Xingyi. I had a rough idea, but I felt it was a bit rough and I never finalized it completely.

Do you have any good suggestions for me to refer to?
