Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 61: Control, White Ape Fundamental Map (Subscription Request)

Qin Xiong's death shocked not only the Weapon Forge, but people in the inner and outer cities were also discussing it.

The news that the murderer Nian Jiu had reappeared spread quickly. For a time, many people were in panic, and several shifts of yamen runners from the county government patrolled day and night.

The city guards, who received the news, quickly blocked the city gates.

After that, there was another round of thorough searching, as if they would not give up until Nianjiu was found.

Li Yuan was immersed in the selection of ore. He chose soft armor as his first top-grade sharp blade. Even though he had mastered the forging technique, he still felt quite stressed.

If it's broken, half of the cost of materials is still a lot.

In the warehouse, Wang Hu accompanied him throughout the whole process. Watching Li Yuan picking out the top-quality iron materials, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. If this was wasted, all the work of half a year would have been in vain.

"That's enough, that's enough. Junior brother, try it first, and come back if you need anything, or just pass on a message and I'll deliver it to you!"

Seeing that Li Yuan still wanted to make a choice, Wang Hu hurriedly pulled him back.

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Hu!"

Li Yuan had almost finished his selection. He bowed slightly and pushed the wooden cart out of the warehouse. He saw Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming hurriedly passing by:
"Two brothers, where are you going?"

"what?"

The two of them paused slightly, with some embarrassment on their faces.

"Miss Lu's little moment?"

Li Yuan looked at the sky and understood: "I heard that people are not allowed to enter the inner city. Can you two brothers go?"

Yue Yunjin became more and more embarrassed, but Wu Ming reacted quickly, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Miss Lu is going out of town today, we will go with her."

"Oh, those two brothers, please come back soon."

Li Yuan was tactful and didn't ask any further questions.

He went once for a short visit to the inner city, but it was obvious that these two might have been there more than once.

He guessed that this was also a screening process. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the first round. He just didn't know how many rounds these two senior brothers could last?
"Is your root bone poor?"

Li Yuan scratched his palm, smiled, and went back to forging iron.

……

"Alas, Junior Brother Li..."

After leaving the weapon forging shop, Yue Yunjin couldn't help but sigh.

He had a good impression of Li Yuan, but his words carried little weight and he couldn't make any decision.

"Junior Brother Li has an average to low physique, but his talent for forging is extremely high. Perhaps it would be better for him to stay in the shop?"

Wu Ming walked quickly towards the city gate without even turning his head.

He didn't have much friendship with Li Yuan, but being able to lend a hand was enough to fulfill the relationship of studying in the same academy. Since he was in danger himself, he thought he had a clear conscience.

"Ugh……"

Yue Yunjin shook his head and quickly followed.

The tightly closed city gate was wide open today, but almost no one went in or out. Two shifts of yamen runners were guarding on both sides, but there were twenty or thirty people gathered outside the city gate, as if they were welcoming someone.

"road……"

Just as Yue Yunjin and his companion were about to get closer, they were stopped by several yamen runners. They hid in a corner with Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, and watched eagerly.

At the city gate, Lu Bailing was wearing a smart martial arts robe, and was accompanied by Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao, Wen Yida and other young ladies and gentlemen from the inner city.

At the front were officials such as the county lieutenant Liu Bin, who were surrounding an elegant middle-aged man and talking in low voices.

……

Xilulu~
At the foot of Fajiu Mountain, three riders came galloping from the official road and stopped in front of a forest. In the distance, the outline of Gaoliu County seemed to be visible.

There were three people on horseback, one woman and two men. The old man in the lead was wearing a ghost mask, so his face could not be seen, but his hair and beard were all white. Beside him was a young couple.

The men were burly and strong, while the women were cool and pretty. They all carried long swords on their backs and wore riding boots.

"Master Han, this forest is where Senior Brother Qiu got into trouble. The thieves from Qianjun Cave must have fled into this mountain."

The burly young man pointed at the distant mountains and said in a cold voice: "Gao Liu, An Xi and other county guards have been searching the mountains for many days. I wonder if they have found any trace of the thief."

"Um……"

The ghost-faced old man spoke in a hoarse voice, but he looked at the woman beside him: "Yunxiu, what do you think?"

"I think we should return to the city first."

Fang Yunxiu answered.

She was about twenty years old, had a cold voice and didn't talk much.

"Pingying, please go into the mountains and ask the city guards, then come back and report to me."

The ghost-faced old man spoke.

"Yes!"

Sha Pingying responded solemnly and urged his horse to go away.

Fang Yunxiu frowned slightly:

"Master Han, you knew that Senior Brother Qiu did not die in Nian Jiu, so why did you send Senior Brother Sha to the mountains?"

The three of them were not traveling the same way, but met on the road. When Sha Pingying arrived, she followed Han Chuijun to capture a group of Gaoliu caravans that intended to break through the pass.

One of them had a wound from a dragon knife.

"We have enough manpower, so we should definitely check a few bushes to see where the venomous snake is hiding. It can't really be Nian Jiu, right?"

Han Chuijun stroked his long beard, feeling rather bored:

"I have never wanted to fight with others, so I took on the sinecure of 'Envoy to Seek Heroes'. I never thought I would be caught up again to do this.
Alas, what a miserable life..."

Are you looking for it?

Fang Yunxiu secretly complained in her heart, but she could only lower her head and obey. She was also deeply afraid of the temper of the man in front of her.

After sighing for a long time, Han Chuijun ordered:

"The fat man that the pioneers caught on the road is back to the city to pick some grass. You follow him. Just think of him as going home and investigating Qiu Long's death. Don't worry about other things."

"Then you?"

Fang Yunxiu wanted to ask subconsciously, but immediately stopped talking, agreed, and urged her horse to rush towards Gaoliu City.

……

……

"Open the door!"

Just after returning home from the blacksmith shop, Li Yuan heard heavy knocks on the door, as if the door was going to be kicked open instead of opened.

"Why did you open the door just now?"

As soon as Li Yuan opened the door, two city guards rushed in. After giving him a cold glance, they began to search the house.

He even didn't let go of the toilet and poked it twice with the dung shovel.

"..."

Li Yuan let the two city guards turn the house upside down and leave cursing before he closed the gate.

All his important things were in the Liuhe boots, so he was not afraid of a search.

only……

"The banks, pawnshops, and jewelry stores are all closed. It's very troublesome to exchange the banknotes for cash."

Li Yuan had a headache.

After Qiu Long's death, the city guards were all furious and would explode at the slightest sign of trouble. Yesterday, three clashes broke out in the outer city, and six or seven civilians were seriously injured. In the past few days, martial law has been imposed, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave the city. There are very few pedestrians on the streets.

"Wrought iron is twenty times more expensive than pig iron. Even if you buy it from a shop, one thousand catties costs two hundred and twenty taels of silver. Ten taels of gold costs one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Adding the 100 taels of silver needed, that’s 440 taels of silver!
Not to mention the one or two ounces of pure gold!"

After thinking about it, Li Yuan felt even more headache.

He estimated that with the silver bills, small change, pearls, agates and the like on him, five hundred taels would not be enough, but four hundred and fifty taels would definitely be enough.

But how to change and how to sell is a hassle, especially when the situation is so tense.

“I guess we’ll have to wait until the big fair in June.”

Li Yuan missed Fatty Sun a little.

When the fat man was around, not only did we have good meals twice a day, but all matters concerning money could be blamed on him.

Now, I can only figure out a solution myself.

"When you fight for the inner armor, ask the master if there is any red gold."

After tidying up the room that was messed up by the city guards and washing his face with water, Li Yuan took out the three bottles of pills he got from Qin Xiong.

Among these three bottles of pills, one bottle contains seven Bone Strengthening Pills, one bottle contains three Leopard Embryo Muscle Strengthening Pills, and the last bottle contains three Qi and Blood Pills.

Just these thirteen pills are worth more than one hundred taels of silver!
"One Qi and Blood Pill is equivalent to more than a dozen Blood-Nourishing Pills, and the medicinal effect is quite mild. It's a good thing. These three bottles of pills are all internal medicines to assist in the practice of horizontal martial arts, and they are also very useful in replenishing blood and qi..."

squeak~
Seeing Li Yuan take out the porcelain bottle, the little field mouse in the corner suddenly became excited.

"The medicine is really good for you. This little thing has doubled in size."

Li Yuan casually flicked a piece of broken biscuit to the little guy and played with the pill in his hand. Every time he got a new pill, he would find this little guy to try it.

Once you develop the habit, you can use it even if you buy it from Four Seasons Pharmacy without any trouble.

"Gudong!"

Li Yuan swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill, then stood in a fighting stance with his hammer in hand. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the movement of his Qi and Blood.

The 'X'-shaped small circulation of qi and blood has spread to the torso, but it is still a long way from forming a large circulation that covers the entire body.

"Even though I lack the breathing technique, I still have this speed, which is pretty good."

Li Yuan's martial arts skills were quite proficient. He performed all 24 forward and reverse moves one by one, exhausting his energy and blood, and only stopped after breaking out in a sweat.

The growth of blood and qi is so simple and crude. If there are enough pills, the bones can be quickly built to perfection. There is no such thing as impure blood and qi.

Some of them, it's just that their strength grows too fast and their moves can't keep up, resulting in them being unable to fully display their abilities.

He naturally didn't have this problem.

"call!"

It was late at night, and Li Yuan slowly stopped. He felt a warm feeling around his body, and the slight pain left by the explosion that killed Qin Xiong a few days ago disappeared completely.

"The Blood Qi Pill still has more than 80% of its potency left. Although it's expensive, it does make sense."

He went to the yard to get a basin of water, wiped his face, lay down with his clothes on, took out a top-grade Yuan-replenishing Pill and put it in his mouth, then Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly.

In the deep and mysterious darkness, the weapon-controlling talisman emitted a faint light, and hammer shadows flickered on the two "stars".

Various weapons and other items were neatly stacked on the gray stone platform.

"White Ape Fundamental Map."

Li Yuan sensed the parchment scroll and without hesitation, he chose to take control.

He had been thinking about it for many days. If he hadn't been injured after the explosion that killed Qin Xiong that day, he would have given it a try that day.

"Replacement, Jade Bronze Hammer!"

hum!
Almost as soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Yuan felt as if something suddenly disappeared from his body, and a great sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.

The huge gap made him feel so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.

The blessing and departure of the Jade Bronze Hammer are many times stronger than those of other controlled weapons.

Woo!
Enduring the discomfort, Li Yuan quickly felt the changes after controlling the 'White Ape Fundamental Map'.

Boo!
In a trance, Li Yuan seemed to hear the angry roar of a white ape.

A burly and majestic white ape, holding a hammer to the sky, let out a sharp, high-pitched, and angry roar.

"Great perfection, cloak hammer method!"

Posture training, fighting methods, training methods and breathing methods!

The complete White Ape Cloak Hammer unfolded before his eyes in the clearest and most intuitive way. Li Yuan concentrated on sensing it and couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

There is also a perfect-level hammer technique on the Master Craftsman's Hammer, but although the two overlap, they have clearly different styles.

The former comes from Zhang Ben, and is peaceful and solid, the result of decades of hard training, while the latter has a strong taste of fighting, as if it was achieved by someone who had fought hundreds of battles.

The two different hammer techniques collided before his eyes, and finally turned into a trickle, flowing into his heart.

Then, Li Yuan felt that the medicinal power in his stomach was diverted, and the blood in his body became agitated. The warmth turned into dry heat, and he couldn't help but turn over and sit up.

"Is this about to break through?!"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he almost swallowed the Bu Yuan Dan in his mouth, but soon he realized something was wrong.

This restless blood did not rush into the heart, but instead circulated around the limbs, waist and abdomen in an 'X' shape.

Gradually, he felt his legs, waist and abdomen getting hotter and hotter, and the medicinal power of the elixir in his stomach was being consumed at a very fast rate.

The blood energy pills that were supposed to be enough for him to consume in seven or eight days quickly dissipated at a noticeable speed!
"Ape arms and wasp waist!"

Li Yuan shuddered, realized something, and quickly swallowed the Bu Yuan Dan.

For fear that they might not be enough, he took out the remaining bottles of pills.

[Ape arms and wasp waist: The root bones are innate, and can be changed later. Those who have cultivated the White Ape Cloak Hammer to perfection all have wasp waists and ape arms. This is,
The body shape is like an ape...】

"Superior root bones!"

Li Yuan's heart beat faster. He had had such associations before he took control of the fundamental map, but he still felt excited when it became a reality.

Gudong~
When the top-grade Buyuan Pill entered the stomach, the warm and mellow medicinal power spread from the stomach, increasing the blood circulation speed to an extremely high level.

This pill, which is worth fifty taels each, is the best pill for when one's Qi and blood have reached a peak and one has broken through internal strength. It has a powerful medicinal effect that lasts for a long time.

Li Yuan only felt his hands, feet, waist and abdomen burning hot, and numbness deep in his bones. He gritted his teeth and held on for a few seconds, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he groaned and jumped out.

Without even putting on shoes, he took out his training hammer and started practicing the cloak hammer technique.

call!
call!
The tingling and burning sensation made Li Yuan swing his hammer faster. A strong wind seemed to blow up in the room, causing the candlesticks on the table to fall and the window paper to rustle.

“So strong?!”

After using three sets of cloak hammers in a row, Li Yuan could hardly bear it anymore and could only relieve it by hammering the ground hard.

The burning is fine, but this is too itchy!
"hiss!"

Li Yuan staggered, sweating profusely, rushed out of the house and jumped into the large water tank in the corner, only then did he feel better.

"Huchi~"

"Huchi~"

After soaking for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan felt almost exhausted. He climbed out of the vat with difficulty and lay on the ground with his limbs weak.

"I haven't finished changing my bones yet. I have enough pills, but I can't hold on any longer..."

The numbness and burning sensation between his legs, waist and abdomen gradually faded away. Li Yuan was too tired to move. All the blood and energy in his body, including the top-grade Yuan-replenishing Pill, were exhausted.

"But, as long as the transformation of my bones is completed, I will be able to 'cultivate internal strength' immediately!"

Li Yuan looked up at the four large moons hanging in the night sky, breathing heavily, but his heart was burning:
"Controlling the fundamental diagram can change one's fundamental bones?! The White Ape Hammer can, so can the Green Snake Spear and the Tiger Roaring Knife?!"
