Just when Feng Yun's thoughts diverged, old people like Payne had already started distributing tools to Feng Yun and others, which were extremely sharp hatchets.
Not only Feng Yun and the others, but even Xiao Yan and the others each got a handful.
"The opening time of the Black Bamboo Secret Realm will be three days. The direct descendants of the Xiao family, each of you need to cut down a black-jointed bamboo as a reward for entering the secret realm. If you fail to meet the standard, you will be disqualified from entering the secret realm next time."
The leader, the unknown Xiao Family Doushi, began to tell the story.
"As for those who belong to the Xiao family's guard team, your minimum standard is four. After completing the task, you can choose to practice in the secret realm, or you can continue to cut down black-jointed bamboos. For more than four black-jointed bamboos, each tree will cost 100 yuan. The salary is paid according to the standard of gold coins, and those who fail to meet the minimum standard will lose the opportunity to enter the Black Bamboo Secret Realm in the future."
"There are also standards for the felling of black-jointed bamboo, and only those with more than 7 knots can be felled..."
Listening to his mission, Feng Yun narrowed his eyes slowly.
Four trees in three days seems easy, but will the Xiao family give them such an easy and high-paying job as guards?
Although Dou Qi Continent has become a part of the great world of reincarnation, there are many more things that are not in the original book, but if the price is the same as that in the original book, then the job of cutting down the black knotted bamboo is more difficult than imagined.
You know, in the original book, Xiao Yan's monthly pocket money is only twenty gold coins, which is enough for a commoner family's food expenses for a year.
The reward of 100 gold coins for each black knotted bamboo can be imagined in various difficulties.
The Dou Shi spoke slowly in front of him, but Payne came to Feng Yun's side and said with a smile: "How about it, do you envy the treatment of those direct descendants of the Xiao family?"
Feng Yun smiled and didn't speak. The tasks of Xiao Yan and others are probably more from the assessment of Xiao's family, while Feng Yun and others are pure laborers.
"With your talent, little brother, if you are willing to join the Xiao family, you may not be able to enjoy the same treatment as them. The difference, when you enter the Black Bamboo Secret Realm, you will naturally feel it."
Payne approached Feng Yun and whispered: "If the little brother intends to join the Xiao family, then this time in the Black Bamboo Secret Realm, you should not practice. Cut down as many black-jointed bamboos as possible to show your talent and strength."
"Everyone gains and loses, little brother, you judge for yourself."
"Thank you Captain Payne for your reminder." Feng Yun thanked.
"It's okay, just work harder."
After Payne left, a strange light flickered in Feng Yun's eyes.
If it was said that Payne had kindly arranged himself to the Black Bamboo Secret Realm out of goodwill for him, then this suggestion was a bit too deliberate.
"Now, he really wants me to join the Xiao family?"
. . . . . .
After a series of ramblings, Feng Yun and the others began to formally enter the secret realm, and saw a long queue walking towards the huge bronze gate, and the green light bloomed on the gate, like rippling water, engulfing a figure.
When his eyes moved away, Feng Yun had already come to another space. Before he opened his eyes, Feng Yun could clearly perceive the difference in the secret realm.
"It's such a strong heaven and earth aura, at least three times that of the outside world."
Feng Yun gritted his teeth, one could imagine how much his speed would be improved if he could stay in this secret realm for a long time to practice.
Opening his eyes, there is a towering mountain in front of him, with black bamboo forests growing on the mountain.
While Feng Yun was looking at the secret realm here, the others had already walked up the mountain, seeming to be quite familiar, and it was obviously not the first time they had entered this secret realm.
------off topic-----
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
Chapter 8: Treasure land of cultivation, contact with Xiao Yan
In the secret realm, Feng Yun carried the heavy hatchet and followed the path of others up the mountain.
The mountain peak became steeper and steeper as it went up, until it was halfway up the mountain, Feng Yun saw the 7-noded black-jointed bamboo growing.
The whole body of this spiritual bamboo is dark, but it is actually very slender, the black-jointed bamboo with more than 7 knots is only the size of Feng Yun's arm.
Feng Yun looked up and down, raised the hatchet and chopped it down, only heard a crisp sound, the hatchet was as if hitting a stubborn stone, but the counter-shock made Feng Yun's palms numb.
After a closer look, it was found that this knife actually only left a faint white mark on the black knotted bamboo, and did not even break through the defense.
"Damn it—!?"
Feng Yun couldn't help but gasped. With his physical strength, he could only do this. One can imagine how tough this black knotted bamboo is.
Feng Yun raised his knife and slashed again. This time, a glistening white light appeared on the blade, but it was Feng Yun who directly used his spiritual power.
With the blessing of spiritual power, both the sharpness of the blade and Feng Yun's strength have been greatly improved.
This time, the defense of the black-jointed bamboo was finally broken, leaving a shallow knife mark on the black bamboo, about 1 to 2 millimeters deep.
"I still don't believe it..."
Halfway up the mountain, a figure, like a child, started to compete with the black-jointed bamboo, and the blade gleaming with spiritual power slid down, as if to chop off the black bamboo.
After six full hours, Feng Yun's whole body was dripping with sweat, and his hands and feet were extremely sore and limp, but the firm and indomitable body of the black knotted bamboo in front of him finally broke down.
"Three days and four roots, ordinary people with seventh and eighth stages of Dou Qi, if their hands are unsteady and their eyes are not right, it will be quite difficult to complete this standard."
Feng Yun moved his sore wrist, looked at the uneven fracture, and came to a conclusion.
When cutting black-jointed bamboo, each cut must be cut within the previous cut, otherwise the cut will be useless.
And you can't rely on physical strength alone, you must use your Dou Qi, and use your Dou Qi to dissolve most of the counter-shock force. With such an action, your Dou Qi will be exhausted within a few strokes.
According to Feng Yun's estimation, for a person with a seventh-level Dou Qi, it would take at least seven hours to cut off a black-jointed bamboo without cutting the wrong way, and counting the time to recover Dou Qi.
Not everyone has Feng Yun who has practiced exercises at the initial stage of cultivation, which can greatly increase the speed of spiritual power recovery.
If it weren't for Feng Yun's unsteady hands and sharp eyes, many knives would have been cut crookedly, and it would only take less than three hours to chop off a seven-jointed black-jointed bamboo.
"It's no wonder that the Xiao family requires the descendants of the direct descendants to also chop a black-jointed bamboo. If they can't finish it, they will even be disqualified from entering the secret realm. This is not just a matter of exercising eyesight and hand strength."
"Cut down the black knotted bamboo, the Dou Qi is quickly consumed, and then it is quickly recovered by relying on the rich spiritual energy of the world in the secret realm. Repeating this will not only make the Dou Qi more pure, but also further strengthen the endurance of the meridians and increase the chance of being promoted to a fighter. .”
"Fresh blood is the top priority of every family. If a Black Bamboo secret realm is like this, how important are those stronger and more wonderful secret realms. No wonder secret realms will become an important capital for the development of a power."
After sighing with emotion, Feng Yun sat down cross-legged, and while the spiritual power in his body was active, he attacked the partially opened eighth meridian. As long as this meridian was opened, he would enter the fourth level of entraining qi.
Cutting down the black-jointed bamboo was even more effective for Feng Yun's training. The counter-shock force of the knife after knife continuously "thumped" Feng Yun's body, and quickly forced out the medicinal power hidden deep in his body.
Cooperating with the abundance of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the Black Bamboo Secret Territory, according to Feng Yun's estimate, three days is enough for him to open up as many as three meridians.
Half an hour later, Feng Yun opened his eyes energetically, feeling the eighth meridian whose development progress had increased a lot, and immediately picked up the knife to find the next black-jointed bamboo.
. . . . . .
There seems to be a difference between day and night in the secret realm. Under the starry sky, Feng Yun quickly absorbs the aura of the surrounding world, refines it, and impacts the eight meridians in his body.
At a certain moment, Feng Yun's body trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened. In the dark pupils, a white light flashed rapidly, and then a mouthful of turbid air was spit out.
As soon as the turbid gas left the body, Feng Yun's small face immediately became more energetic.
"Five layers of entrained air!"
Feeling the more substantial spiritual power in his body, the corner of his mouth twitched with joy.
Breaking through two floors in three days is a terrifying speed. The Black Bamboo Secret Realm accounted for four points of the credit, and the medicinal power accumulated in Feng Yun's body accounted for six points.
"The anti-shock power of this black knotted bamboo is more suitable for tormenting the body. Compared with the road of fighting qi, it is more suitable for the body quenching state in the early stage of Yuanli practice. If there is sufficient supply of elixir, it is enough to shorten the body quenching by nearly 3% Time, it's a pity that the Xiao family doesn't have the martial arts and martial arts of the path of origin power..."
Feeling that his physical strength had also increased, Feng Yun began to pick up the black-jointed bamboos on the ground.
With these few days of training, his eyesight and hand strength have fully improved, and the time it takes to cut down the black-jointed bamboo is getting shorter and shorter, and he already has eleven black-jointed bamboos in his hand.
After pondering for a while, he threw four black-jointed bamboos in the item column of the player's coat of arms. Maybe the people of the Xiao family would not have imagined that Feng Yun, who is of extremely low level, has a more hidden storage space than the ring.
"There are still two hours to leave the Black Bamboo Secret Realm, and it's time to meet Xiao Yan."
After judging the direction, Feng Yun dragged the remaining black knotted bamboo and ran towards the halfway up the mountain.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Feng Yun hurried all the way, but before reaching the destination, the rhythmic sound of bamboo cutting came to his ears.
Passing through a black bamboo grove, the figure of a young man came into view. Under the full moon and stars, the young man had a resolute face, and he was slashing at a black knotted bamboo in front of him.
Every time the knife falls, it can only leave a shallow knife mark on the black knotted bamboo. Under the effect of the counter-shock force, the right hand holding the knife will be knocked away.
But the young man was not discouraged, he chopped the almost endless black knotted bamboo again and again.
"As expected of the protagonist."
Feng Yun couldn't help feeling that the protagonists in Tudou's works, whether it's Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, or even other protagonists, are all top-notch in terms of mental toughness.
Before joining the Xiao family, Feng Yun inquired about the news a little, and knew that it had been more than two years since Xiao Yan fell back to the third stage of fighting spirit.
What Xiao Yan is doing now can't improve his cultivation, it can only temper his physical strength, and temper the toughness of his meridians by constantly recovering and consuming Dou Qi.
I did this just so that one day, my cultivation would no longer regress, and I would be able to recover a little faster when I cultivated again.
After two years of persistence, even Feng Yun felt ashamed.
Feng Yun was able to persist under the control of the Shadow Guild for two years because he had a system, and he firmly believed that he would be able to escape the control one day.
But Xiao Yan was different. He didn't know the future information, so he had no hope at all.
Level [-] Dou Qi, he couldn't hold on for a few cuts at all, not long after, Xiao Yan stopped his movements, his expression changed, and he looked vigilantly towards Feng Yun's position.
"Who?!"
Being a human being in two lifetimes, Xiao Yan's soul perception is far superior to that of ordinary people. This is the root of his extremely fast cultivation before, and it is also the reason why he can find Feng Yun's attention.
Of course, Feng Yun didn't try to hide it either.
"Xiao Yun, a wanderer who just joined the Xiao family's guard not long ago." Feng Yun walked out dragging the few black-jointed bamboos.
By the moonlight, Xiao Yan saw the bundle of black-jointed bamboo behind Feng Yun, and was startled. It was the first time that the Xiao family had held the Black Bamboo Secret Realm for so many years. In three days, seven black-jointed bamboos were cut down.
However, when he was looking at Feng Yun, the words of the other party made his expression change suddenly.
"You are Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family, right? I am here for you."
"what--!"
"I can cure your drop in cultivation." Feng Yun got straight to the point.
Xiao Yan took a step back vigilantly, and stared at Feng Yun with a wary face. However, Feng Yun knew that this protagonist was far less obvious than he showed.
[The character "Xiao Yan" raised the d-level affix "vigilance" of the host to 2c-level, and gained 87000 affix points. 】
[The character "Xiao Yan" produces a C-level affix "expectation" to the host, and obtains 31000 affix points. 】
[The character "Xiao Yan". . . . . . 】
"Hiss, it's cool, just a little more, just a little more!" Feng Yun looked at Xiao Yan with hot eyes, as if looking at a peerless beauty.
Chapter 9: First visit to Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan is welcome
Back then, Tao Xu, the "Editor A" utility, a b-level status affix, only contributed less than 4 affix points to Feng Yun.
But now, Xiao Yan's C-level affix is in the early 3s, and a 2C-level affix has reached the peak of 8.
Sure enough, compared to the character's strength and affix level, the character's identity is more important. If you want to get a lot of affix points, you still have to attack the protagonist like Xiao Yan!
Looking at Xiao Yan's precious mountain, Feng Yun tried his best to suppress the burning heat in his eyes, but he couldn't be scared away.
In fact, Xiao Yan wouldn't leave after hearing Feng Yun say that he could cure his backwardness in cultivation.
However, after two years of experience of being a trash, Xiao Yan did not express his inner expectations.
"Can you cure my backward cultivation? What do you want?" Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yun warily.
"I just want a favor."
"What?" Xiao Yan suspected that he had heard wrong.
"I just feel that you are tough and you are a good friend. It just so happens that I also know the solution to your problem, so I just want to make friends." Feng Yun said.
"I'm a homeless person. I plan to stay in the Xiao family for two years. While cultivating hard, I will also accumulate a little money to prepare for future wandering. If I can make friends with you, the young master of the Xiao family, I will be even better in the Xiao family." It's just convenient."
Feng Yun did not lie to Xiao Yan, he came to Xiao's house to practice hard, accumulate affix points, and find fault with the Shadow Guild.
After staying in Xiao's house for a while, he will naturally go to other places to have a look.
Seeing Xiao Yan's cautious appearance and the "vigilance" affix that didn't downgrade at all, Feng Yun also knew that he should amplify his moves.
"I see that you are in good health, and you shouldn't have any problems refining your Dou Qi, but every time you cultivate an extra wisp of Dou Qi, it will disappear for no reason, keeping you in the third stage of Dou Qi. no?"
"you--!"
Xiao Yan was taken aback immediately. Although everyone in Wutan City knew that he had a problem with his cultivation, only he and his father Xiao Zhan knew the specific reason.
He and his father made multiple investigations, and even spent a lot of money to get a diagnosis, but they failed to find out the cause, and only thought that there was an unknown problem with his body.
But now it seems that this young man who is not much older than him actually knows all the reasons.
