Chapter 29 Taking
Splash!
Zhou Shan dived into the water.
The bottom of the water was very quiet and dark.
Let alone a fisherman, even a warrior, diving more than 30 meters underwater would be like a blind man, but Zhou Shan did not need to use his eyes to see, but used his spirit to "see" the world.
Under the power of the spirit, everything was clearly visible.
The precious blood lotus exuded a mysterious light.
Zhou Shan's body was like a fish, and he easily dived to the bottom of the water more than 30 meters deep.
Sensing that a creature was approaching, the red-scaled snake opened its eyelids, and its snake eyes flashed red light.
"You feel weak, very weak."
"You need to sleep, rely on sleep to restore your energy!"
"Sleep, enter a dream sleep."
Zhou Shan did not fight with the monster red-scaled snake, but first used the soul-stunning technique to hypnotize it.
He quickly swam to the front of the red-scaled snake, and a black vortex that could devour the spirit appeared in his eyes. The spirit of the red-scaled snake was immediately attracted, and his eyes were dull.
Soul-stunning technique is a spiritual secret technique.
Its power depends entirely on whether the mental power is strong.
As Zhou Shan's spiritual attributes improve, the hypnotic effect of soul-stunning technique becomes stronger and stronger.
When used on ordinary people, the effect can last for several days.
At this time, Zhou Shan used soul-stunning technique on the red-scaled snake. Although the red-scaled snake is a spirit with a strong body, it has no power to resist the soul-stunning technique performed by Zhou Shan's powerful mental power, and it is still calculated without intention.
The red-scaled snake quickly fell into hypnosis, the snake head drooped, the eyelids slowly closed, and fell into a deep sleep.
As long as it is not stimulated by major injuries, the red-scaled snake will be difficult to wake up in a short time.
After hypnotizing the red-scaled snake, Zhou Shan came to the blood lotus.
Blood lotus is a precious plant that must be consumed within an hour after picking it.
Therefore, it is not feasible for him to transplant the blood lotus into the backyard pond, so he can only take it now.
Zhou Shan picked a blood lotus, then quickly floated to the surface, jumped out of the water, landed steadily on the black-sailed boat, and swallowed the blood lotus in his hand like a cow chewing a peony.
The effect of the blood lotus is immediate.
Not long after Zhou Shan swallowed the blood lotus, he felt a hot current rising in his stomach. This hot current instantly flowed to his limbs and bones, and his whole body was warm, as if he was in a hot spring.
This feeling is similar to eating red-backed knife fish.
However, compared with red-backed knife fish, blood lotus has the effects of nourishing internal organs, detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and treating internal injuries.
If you take more blood lotus, your internal organs will also be cleansed and strengthened to a certain extent.
Zhou Shan immediately took the standing posture of the turtle breathing skill and began to move qi and blood.
The blood and qi that originally flowed calmly in the body were like a gurgling stream moistening the land, but as Zhou Shan practiced the exercises, they instantly became turbulent, and the blood and qi surged, like waves constantly hitting the reefs, violently washing the muscles that stretched and bulged, and the blood and qi penetrated into the muscles.
"Hiss!"
A familiar feeling came.
Zhou Shan's skin membranes and muscles all felt like they were about to be torn apart.
A warrior in the Mo Skin Realm has mastered the skills of training the flesh and moving the skin. When he is hit, he can twist the muscles of his body into a ball and bulge them up, making the muscles as hard as iron and improving his ability to resist blows.
But if the skin membrane is not tough enough, when the muscles are twisted into a ball, the skin membrane will feel like it is about to be stretched and torn apart. Using blood and qi to temper the skin and flesh is to strengthen the skin and flesh and make it tougher.
However, when the heat flow in the body merged into the skin and flesh, Zhou Shan felt that the pain was immediately relieved a lot.
Zhou Shan knew that this was the effect of the blood lotus in reducing swelling and relieving pain.
This would undoubtedly allow him to practice the turtle breathing technique and use qi and blood to hammer the skin and flesh, so that he could persist for a longer time.
Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half...
In the morning, Zhou Shan only practiced for two quarters of an hour and almost reached his limit, but now that he took the blood lotus, he persisted for two hours, and he felt the limit.
After stopping the practice, Zhou Shan looked at his skin. There were red and white alternating cord-like textures on his arms, chest, back, waist, abdomen, buttocks, legs, etc., which were caused by excessive stretching of the skin and flesh, which was somewhat similar to stretch marks.
The blood lotus has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the internal organs and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and treating internal injuries, but it cannot strengthen the skin membrane and muscles. If Zhou Shan continues to practice forcefully, the skin will really tear and bleed.
If you want to strengthen the skin membrane and muscles and make the muscles tougher and thicker, you can only soak in a medicinal bath.
In a flash, Zhou Shan opened the attribute panel.
Name: Zhou Shan
Talent: Infinite Spirit (One point of Spirit attribute will be increased every day)
Strength: 20
Defense: 18
Agility: 13
Physique: 43
Spirit: 178
Martial Arts: Turtle Breathing Skill/Level 4 (4.2%), Soul-Shocking Skill/Level 2 (89%), Stone-Breaking Fist/Great Success (9%), Fish-Swimming Body Skill/Great Success (24%)
"Turtle Breathing Skill increases the progress of cultivation by 3%."
Zhou Shan's eyes gleamed.
Originally, he wanted to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique to the fifth level. It would take a hundred days to soak in a medicinal bath once a day, but now he has the precious blood lotus. He can improve his practice progress by 3% after practicing for two hours. He can soak in a medicinal bath once after returning, which means two medicinal baths a day.
If he takes a blood lotus every day, it will be enough to shorten the time from a hundred days to twenty days.
To practice martial arts, you need money.
With money, you have resources. You can buy treasure fish, precious plants and other natural treasures, and the speed of practice will naturally increase significantly.
Jiang Ting, who was in his early twenties, practiced for five or six years to reach the third level of blood strengthening. The young master of the Giant Spirit Sect, who had the support of a big force like the Giant Spirit Sect, did not have to worry about his livelihood. With the supply of the sect, he was also in his early twenties, but he had already completed the practice of the skin grinding realm and started to strengthen his bones.
The difference between the two is not small.
This is the advantage of leaning on a big tree, while Jiang Ting's cultivation speed is that of an ordinary person. He opens a fish stall to make money in preparation for the next practice of the Mo Leather Realm. Just relying on the work of the river patrol team, even if he is a small leader, he only has fifty taels a month. After daily food and drink, there is no money left, and there is no extra money to practice the Mo Leather Realm.
Therefore, it is necessary to think of other ways to make money.
It took less than three months for Zhou Shan to break through from the Zhuangxue level to the Mo Leather Realm.
Such a progress of cultivation may not be matched by the elite disciples trained by the top forces in Baisha County, and he is only seventeen years old, and he will be eighteen after the New Year. As long as the treasure fish and treasure plants are supplied, it is not impossible to complete the practice of the Mo Leather Realm before the age of twenty.
"There are still sixteen blood lotuses in total."
Zhou Shan's mental power swept across the bottom of the water. There were still sixteen blood lotuses in total, which could allow him to practice sixteen times.
He dived into the water and hypnotized the red-scaled snake, causing it to fall into a deep sleep. Even though the red-scaled snake was in a deep sleep, the aura it exuded was enough to keep ordinary fish away.
After doing all this, Zhou Shan paddled out of Jinsha Bay.
When he returned home, he asked his servants to boil the medicine and practiced soaking in the medicine bath again.
