Immortal Refiner

In the borderland at night, the howling wind seemed to be going to sleep, and finally stopped rolling and gradually stopped.

In the night with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, Li Qing, who had washed the rice bowl, returned to his tent.

He held a thick book under his armpit, and only when he entered the tent did he carefully pick up a rag to wipe the dust off the surface, and then he could see the four words on the book clearly.

"Guxuan Hammer Skill"!

Guxuan?

Li Qing frowned slightly. Isn't Master Gu's name Gu Tianxing? Why is this hammer skill named Guxuan?

"Never mind, I'm going to the polar night world to comprehend and practice. This happened this afternoon, and no one should come to me at night."

Li Qing said to himself, then held the "Guxuan Hammer Skill" in both hands and closed his eyes.

After a long while, Li Qing's figure in the tent gradually became fuzzy, and then completely disappeared in the tent.

Li Qing opened his eyes after noticing the change in the temperature around him, and his face showed a tired look.

Not only the temperature changed, but also the surrounding environment and scenery, from a borderland full of yellow sand to a small town with strange customs.

"Huh!"

"It's really more tiring than forging a few swords!"

In an elegantly furnished classical room, Li Qing let out a long breath.

This place is called the Polar Night World. Of course, the name was given by Li Qing himself. Since he was ten years old and could see his life span, he accidentally discovered that he could come to this world with only darkness in the dead of night with his mind.

However, this kind of physical shuttle is very tiring, and every time it is done, it consumes a lot of physical strength.

When he first crossed over when he was ten years old, he was almost exhausted. It was not until recent years that this situation gradually improved.

Now he is sixteen years old and has become much stronger, but carrying physical objects for shuttle still creates a great burden.

After many shuttles, Li Qing has discovered some unusual things in the Polar Night World.

For example, the speed of time here is different from that in his original world. Three days passed in the polar night world, but only one day passed in the place where his original body was.

This is why his iron forging skills have improved so quickly, all thanks to the sharpening and practice in this world.

"I have nearly a whole day to speed up my understanding of the "Ancient Mysterious Hammer Skill."

Li Qing cherishes time very much. Before he had time to take a few more breaths, he opened the "Ancient Mysterious Hammer Skill" given to him by Master Gu and started reading it.

The first sentence of the opening solved his doubts.

"This hammer skill is inherited from the ancestor Gu Xuan. It is a martial art that takes into account both physical training and hammering techniques. Later, I, Gu Tianxing, became a blacksmith and modified this hammer skill, adding the technique of forging iron. While being a blacksmith, I can also strengthen my body, which is not bad."

Seeing this first paragraph, Li Qing couldn't help showing excitement on his face.

Sure enough!

His master and those surprisingly powerful soldiers in the army did practice martial arts!

Otherwise, such unparalleled power cannot be explained by common sense.

Li Qing still remembers very clearly that once, he saw a captain in the army holding a giant tripod dozens of centimeters off the ground while performing martial arts in public!

At that time, he was shocked, but the other soldiers all applauded.

And now, he finally got a martial arts secret book!

Thank nature... No, thank Master Gu for the gift!

With excitement, Li Qing began to read this hammer skill that has been passed down for generations.

Unlike what he imagined, the entry point of this martial arts is to teach people to stand in a stance, that is, the stance skill!

"... If a person leaves the ground, he is like a rootless duckweed. At the moment of exerting force, his feet must be on the ground..."

It must be said that this hammer skill has a very detailed explanation of force and leverage, which is very suitable for beginners like Li Qing.

It took about two hours for Li Qing to firmly record the basics of this hammer skill.

Then he walked out of the room, put on a cotton coat, and came to the independent courtyard outside the door, bathing in the moonlight from the red moon in the sky, and began to stand.

The air around was very cold, not because it was winter, but because it was always so cold in the polar night world.

Li Qing's first standing posture lasted only about fifteen minutes, and his feet were shaking with fatigue, as if he had run thousands of meters at full speed.

Bang!

"Hiss! Standing with the mental method in the hammer skill is so tiring..." Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead in amazement, and was shocked by the difficulty of getting started.

"Yes, it's better to practice martial arts like this since childhood. People like me who are too old can only slowly use time to endure it."

Fortunately, he didn't lack time.

After resting for a while, Li Qing got up again and started a new round of standing posture.

The second time, he lasted for nearly twenty minutes before he fell down from exhaustion.

The third time, he lasted for nearly thirty minutes.

The fourth time, he couldn't hold on for five minutes.

Too tired!

Li Qing, who was soaked in sweat, took off his cotton robe and clothes, and sat down in the courtyard with his bare chest to rest.

His muscles were clearly defined, and sweat kept dripping onto the ground.

Although the temperature around him was cold now, he felt warm all over, and white steam was coming out of his body.

Just when he rested for a long time and was ready to practice again, a clanging sound suddenly came from outside the yard.

"Damn it, Old An, don't be shameless!"

"Get out of here, you bully, tell the Yan family that my granddaughter will never marry into the Yan family in this life!" An angry old voice rang out.

"Then you two grandpa and grandson will starve to death. If you offend the Yan family, see how you can survive in Obsidian City, and don't even think about getting a rye mushroom in the future!" This sarcastic voice shouted again.

In this regard, Li Qing didn't want to pay attention to it, nor did he want to meddle in other people's business. He still squinted his eyes and adjusted his breath and exhaled according to the method of "Ancient Mysterious Hammer Kung Fu".

The polar night world is not a peaceful and peaceful place. It can even be said that it is much more chaotic than Maple Country.

Because it is dark all year round here, there is a lack of food, and the population is somewhat sparse, and it is normal for nine out of ten houses to be empty.

Laws and so on are all empty talk. Everyone has tried their best to avoid starvation, and no one is willing to spend even a little more energy on other people's affairs.

Take the independent courtyard where Li Qing lives now. In fact, this courtyard is not his, but there are not many residents on this street.

He moved in naturally, and other people didn't care at all.

Because of this situation, Li Qing disappeared for a long time from time to time, and no one cared.

Dong Dong Dong!

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Li Qing, who originally thought of turning a deaf ear to the outside world, frowned slightly.

In the end, he decided to open the door.

Zhiya~

The courtyard door opened, and a thin man with a shifty look was seen standing outside the door.

"Hey! Master Li is at home. I knocked on the door several times during this period, and finally I ran into you."

This man is called Yan San, one of the lackeys of the Yan family. Originally, his surname was not Yan, but he was appreciated by the Yan family, and he changed his surname directly to show his loyalty.

"Yan San, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush." ​​Li Qing said calmly.

At this time, Yan San saw Li Qing's state clearly. He was actually bare-chested, and his whole body was still steaming. His muscles were extremely strong and strong.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he changed to a flattering tone and said: "Master Li, the Yan family is going to make a batch of new farm tools recently, which are used to cut black rye mushrooms. See if it is convenient for you. The reward is still the same as before. Forge three cutting knives for half a pound of black rye mushrooms!"..

Rye mushrooms are a specialty species in the polar night world. On weekdays, the general public basically lives on black rye mushrooms.

Li Qing had no interest in this kind of wheat flour fungus that tasted like mold.

He pondered for a while and said, "I heard that several martial arts schools in Obsidian City went bankrupt before, and the Yan family used a little food to collect all the martial arts skills of those martial arts schools. I don't want the black rye mushrooms. Go ask the Yan family if you can let me borrow some martial arts secrets."

Yan San was stunned when he said this, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Nowadays, who still practices martial arts? It can't be eaten as food.

Those martial arts secrets that have fallen into the corner and gathered dust are no longer valuable.

People who practice martial arts have a big appetite, and even the Yan family is reluctant to spend resources to raise so many thugs. Nowadays, no one really practices the martial arts secrets.

"Master Li is interested in these martial arts. I will take care of this matter and guarantee to help you get it!" Yan San said happily.

There are not many people who can forge iron in the city now, and the output of black rye mushrooms is low. It would be best if they could take some useless things as rewards!

Immediately, Yan San left the street excitedly.

Li Qing, who was at the gate of the courtyard, couldn't help sighing in his heart as he watched Yan San leave.

"Alas, this matter is not done carefully enough. I should have used some more clever and smooth methods to exchange it."

"But the border will soon be in chaos. This is also unavoidable. In an emergency, we must make use of the right. In an emergency, we must make use of the right..."

Li Qing, who returned to the courtyard, did a deep self-reflection and constantly summarized what could be improved in this contact with Yan San.

He is a blacksmith who forges iron in the city, and few people will check his background.

It's just that in this era, someone doesn't want black rye mushrooms, but wants some martial arts secrets that few people practice, which will always cause a small group of people to think.

Although he didn't guess the secret of his ability to travel between the two worlds, it was still a bit rash.

...
