Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 89 Spirit Upgrade
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, don't worry, he has been waiting here."

He raised his voice and shouted: "Golden Paotou!"

"Treasurer Gu, he's here!"

A man wearing a sheepskin waistcoat, not tall, but with a simple appearance came over.

The shopkeeper introduced the two of them respectively: "This is the funder who contributed the money, and this is the gold hunter. You two discuss how to pick up the goods and pay them."

Jin Oreru didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so young, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "The leopard is now in Hejiatun, the master will come with me to get it?"

Zhao Lin said straightforwardly: "It's not too late, let's go now!" After speaking, he asked again: "Is the leopard alive?"

Golden Orion immediately patted his chest and said, "It's alive, it's very vigorous!"

……

"What's your surname?"

After leaving the medicine hall, Jin Orion asked.

"Let your surname be Lin."

Zhao Lin replied with a smile, "Golden Orion, as far as I know, leopards are not easy to catch. How did you catch them?"

The corners of Golden Orion's mouth turned up, and his face showed a smug expression, "As the saying goes, three tigers make a leopard, and three spots make a harrier. Although this golden leopard is not big in size, it is the most fierce and swift. I'm not bragging..."

Zhao Lin secretly sighed, he understood a truth very early on: Whenever someone says "I'm not bragging", that is to start bragging.

Golden Orion spit and talked for a long time, but never got to the point.

Zhao Lin was a little impatient, glanced at him inadvertently, and suddenly felt that his speech, demeanor and tone were exactly the same as Zhou Paotou.

I couldn't help but feel very kind, and my mood calmed down, and I even hoped that he would continue nagging.

"Chicks don't pee, each has its own way. In fact, it's nothing new. Our village happened to play Qiuwei a few days ago, and we saw traces of leopards..."

Golden Orion finally remembered Zhao Lin's question, and said, "We saw your notice, and set up ambushes with live sheep in places where it often haunts."

"There are a lot of hunters in our village. We set up five spots and sent people to guard them every day. After half a month of tossing around, we finally caught one."

"That's not easy..."

The two talked all the way, and arrived at Hejiatun not long after.

Walking not far from the village, Zhao Lin saw a lot of people gathered at the head of the village. He stopped and said, "I don't like crowds, so I won't enter the village. Brother Jin, please help me bring the leopard over here."

On the one hand, he did this to protect himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to avoid causing trouble to the villagers.

"Good to say."

Golden Orion promised, walked over quickly, talked to the villagers for a few words, and then called a man in his thirties, and the two of them, one in front of the other, came over carrying a leopard tied to a wooden stick.

Zhao Lin came closer to watch, and saw that the leopard's limbs were tightly bound, and even its mouth was strangled with a hemp rope, and it let out a violent growl from its throat.

To Zhao Lin, the roar sounded like the chug of a motorcycle starting.

This leopard has a head and body length of about 1.3 meters, and a tail of nearly one meter. Its body is well-proportioned, its limbs are slender, it presents a perfect streamlined shape, and its muscle lines are extremely obvious.

The whole body has bright coat color, brownish yellow, covered with black spots and ring patterns, like copper coins printed on the body.

"It's an animal made for running!"

Zhao Lin praised in his heart, took out two ingots of 20 taels and one ingot of [-] taels of official silver, and handed them to the gold hunter.

"This is the reward, Brother Jin, take it."

The golden hunter was overjoyed. He took the silver in his hand and examined it carefully. He gritted his teeth and weighed it with his hands. Finally, he remembered and asked Zhao Lin, "This leopard is heavier than a human. How do you get rid of it?"

Zhao Lin smiled, grabbed the wooden stick with one hand, and easily picked up the leopard.

"Don't let it go, there will be a period later!"

……

Leaving Hejiatun, Zhao Lin walked far to the northwest, came to a wild and hilly area, and found a hidden woods to get into.

Putting down the leopard and looking it over carefully, he found that it was a male, so he couldn't help being more satisfied.

I don't know whether it's luck or coincidence, the old scalpers, bears and black-horned antelopes that Zhao Lin absorbed were all males.

Only the chrysanthemum bat can't tell the difference between male and female.

Generally speaking, males in the animal world are larger and more athletic than females.

Zhao Lin is not sure if this will affect the quality of the spirit, but as a man, it is always easier to accept the spirit of male animals psychologically.

"Don't blame leopard, leopard. You are born to be a dish in the world. I will kill you this year, and you will come again next year."

Zhao Lin muttered in a low voice while taking out a cooked copper stick.

People in the village often use this chant when killing chickens, and Zhao Lin also imitated it, but replaced the chicken with a leopard.

boom!
Zhao Lin raised the stick and dropped it with a muffled sound, and the leopard fell to the ground without any pain.

After a while, a piece of silver light emerged from the corpse, rose, gathered, and gradually took shape...

The picture of the spirit beast in Zhao Lin's mind began to shake, and the head of the black-horned antelope in the second grid was looming, as if calling.

As I expected, it is also a speed-type talent, and the leopard's spirit level is higher.

Can be replaced!

Zhao Lin took a deep breath, and all the silver light entered his body.

"hiss……"

He felt his scalp go numb, and a shiver ran up his spine.

The pain of cramping and peeling skin reappeared.

He originally thought that he had absorbed the spirit of the impala, and this time it would be "smoother", but he didn't expect the reaction to be so intense.

The pain is mainly concentrated in the trunk such as the neck muscles, back muscles, armpit muscles and lumbar muscles, constantly pulling and twisting!
Fortunately, this is not the first time, Zhao Lin has honed his tolerance for pain, persisted for about a quarter of an hour, and finally absorbed the spirit.

After Zhao Lin rested for a while, he ate up the meat pie he brought with the water in the water bag.

Looking at the picture of the spirit beast again, the portrait in the second grid has been replaced by a leopard from an impala.

Zhao Lin moved around on the spot, and the effect was immediate!

The body is full of vitality, and the fascia tendons are more resilient and elastic, which can be felt without running.

After the physical activity started, Zhao Lin did two tests: jumping in place and short-distance sprinting.

The jumping ability has been further improved, and the distance can be more than two feet in one easy jump, just like springs on the legs.

However, the change in the sprint speed is more obvious. It is only a moment to truly "catapult start" from standing still to galloping.

Zhao Lin even had an experience similar to "pushing back" because he started too fast.

"Hehe, I don't know what my zero-hundred acceleration is?"

Zhao Lin was in a good mood, and felt that he was one step closer to training his tendons.

If you only talk about speed, no one can be faster than you even if you are in aura.

……

In the afternoon, Zhao Lin returned to Qinghe County with the leopard.

Although he doesn't have to worry about money now, leopard bone is a good medicinal material, and its efficacy is similar to tiger bone, it can dispel wind, relieve pain, and strengthen bones.

Master is getting old, so it's good to make wine with it.
