Chapter 120: Qi Observation Technique

"The bow frame of this bow is made of a thousand-year-old bloodwood species, and the bowstring is made of five-hundred-year-old beast tendons mixed with other materials. Both are hard to find on the market."

Fifty stones.

When converted, the pulling force is less than ten thousand pounds.

For martial artists who practice internal cultivation, they can naturally pull away.

Chen Sanshi squatted down, used tools to assemble the bow and arrow, and then held it in his hand to calibrate it. Even the leather on the handle was probably made of exotic animal skin, and it felt comfortable in his hand.

When it was almost time, he slowly pulled the bowstring with the coordination of his qi and blood, and shot an arrow at the trunk of a pine tree with a diameter of about 20 centimeters two hundred steps away.

"Om-"

"boom--"

The sound of tearing air whizzed past my ears, but in a moment the arrow pierced through the trunk of the first tree, then the second, and finally the third tree. A glaring transparent hole was left on the first two pine trees.

"Good arrow!"

The higher the bow tension, the greater the power and the faster the arrow can shoot.

With this fifty-stone bow, even for a martial artist who practices internal refining, it is absolutely impossible for it to take as long to fire as it did when dealing with Luo Dongquan and the others. If the opponent does not get close to him quickly, he will definitely be exposed within fifteen arrows!
Fifteen arrows, for him, it only takes five seconds!

Chen Sanshi was like a swordsman who had obtained a peerless sword. He was much happier than getting gold, silver and other treasures.

He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Buqi, thank the commander-in-chief for me."

"Why are you being so polite? At least you saved his son and daughter."

Sun Buqi said: "This is nothing. If it were you, he should just accept you as his true disciple instead of choosing a striker. It's just that he is too rigid and doesn't want to break the rules."

"No weapon."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Can this bow release power?"

"No way."

Sun Buqi said: "This bow seems to be the one my father used when he was young many years ago. He didn't use bows later, so although it is precious, it is just that valuable. You can just accept it.

"As for the matter of strength, I asked about it for you at home.

"My father said that there are some special materials that can temporarily store energy, but they cannot be bought and need to be collected by ourselves."

Chen Sanshi nodded: "Okay, I'll remember that."

That being said, there is still hope.

Of course, this fifty-stone bow is enough for the time being.

We will talk about the matter of Hua Jin after we have achieved Hua Jin.

The most urgent task is to catch the exotic beast quickly and improve your cultivation as quickly as possible.

Chen Sanshi doesn't think that he can just sit back and win because he saved the commander-in-chief's children and that he has done a favor.

True.

With this relationship, he will definitely receive some care in the future.

However, whether you can get the true teachings depends on your ability.

After all, if you don't have the ability, even if it is taught to you, you may not be able to learn it. At least you have to prove that you are qualified before you have the opportunity to get in touch with it.

"Go up the mountain!"

Chen Sanshi was in a good mood holding a fifty-stone bow.

The Luotian Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles. You can only experience it firsthand when you walk in. Looking around, you see mountains stacked on top of each other, as if endless and without boundaries.

It also snowed in Liangzhou, but it was a light snow, covering the mountains and forests with a light layer. It would not affect hunting in the mountains, but the number of animals going out would decrease in winter.

Although Chen Sanshi could search slowly, the Luotian Mountains were so vast that he would have to find a time to go there.

"General, please take this path!"

Bai Tingzhi led the way in front.

Chen Sanshi and Sun Buqi followed behind.

Along the way, he was honing his skills in tracking and hiding.

It has to be said that there is indeed an abundance of prey in the Luotian Mountains.

Basically, there is at least one large animal every two miles.

"Poisonous beast!"

Sun Buqi shouted, pointing at a pile of rocks a hundred steps away.

Looking in the direction of the finger, I saw a wild wolf.

This wolf was twice as big as an ordinary wolf, and its pupils were red, as if blood would ooze out at any time. It was lying on the ground eating a recently dead roe deer.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move!"

Sun Buqi picked up the fifteen-stone bow that was eliminated by Chen Sanshi, and took aim for more than ten breaths. He let go of the bowstring only when he was confident. However, the bow was still terribly tilted, and was almost ten steps away from the target.

Bai Tingzhi said bluntly: "Master Sun, you are too bad!"

"Ow!"

"Be careful, this beast is coming!"

Normally speaking, unless it is a large animal such as a tiger or a bear, the first thing it will do when it encounters humans is to run away.

But the wolf in front of them did not run away. Instead, it rushed towards them.

"I come!"

Sun Buqi kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows.

Until the wild wolf was only twenty steps away from him, he still failed to shoot with his arrow. Bai Tingzhi, who was standing next to him, had already taken out the broadsword from his back and was ready to attack at any time.

"Give it to me!"

Sun Buqi became furious and raised his spear to perform the Flying Snake Technique. He stabbed the wolf to death with one shot and finally felt satisfied.

He held the corpse in front of him and said, "Sanshi, look, this is the poisonous beast."

Chen Sanshi leaned over to check.

Apart from its size, the most distinctive feature of this wild wolf is its blood-red eyes. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it.

"Just look at the eyes."

Bai Tingzhi took over the conversation: "The difference between poisonous beasts and strange beasts lies in their eyes. The eyes of these poisonous beasts are all red and glow at night. Their meat cannot be eaten. Eating it will cause poisoning."

"What causes it?"

Chen Sanshi, who was born into a hunter family, was really curious.

"do not know."

Bai Tingzhi shook his head.

"Just keep going."

The group continued to cross mountains and hills.

Chen Sanshi's proficiency in [Tracking and Hiding] continued to rise. He could see the surrounding scenery more and more clearly, and it was not just the hair. Later, he even felt that he could see through the bodies of creatures and see what was going on inside.

A moment of trance.

The panel floats.

【Searching for the missing trace (Dacheng)】

[Progress: cannot be upgraded]

[Effect: Qi-observation Technique]

[Qi-Observation Technique: Observe the Qi of Heaven, Earth, and Man, leaving them with nowhere to hide]

Somehow, Chen Sanshi felt a mysterious power surging into his body and finally gathered in his eyes.

He looked at everything in the world again and saw a sense of energy!

Gray rabbits in the snow, falcons passing by in the sky, black bears hibernating in tree holes, ground squirrels hiding in caves, and more!
including people!
This energy seemed very ethereal in Sun Buqi, but very strong in Bai Tingzhi, and himself was the most powerful.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the level of cultivation.

Chen Sanshi looked at the dead wolf again and saw that the aura on it was different from that of all other creatures or humans. It was blood red. Although the color was very light, one could still feel something strange from it.

Where are the strange beasts?
What is the aura of strange beasts like?
What is the principle behind this Qi-observing technique? Why does everyone have Qi?

Even the earth has it!

Chen Sanshi looked at the earth, and it was clearly filled with a complex atmosphere.

Is the reason why people can practice martial arts and break the limits of their physical bodies related to these energies?
He immediately adjusted his breathing method.

really!

By practicing standing meditation and blessing breathing methods, you can absorb the complex energy between heaven and earth into your body, and then use this energy to transform your body.

That's it!

The function of [Qi-Observation Technique] is not limited to this.

Within a certain range, Chen Sanshi can detect the aura of all living things, which naturally prevents anyone from hiding and attacking, and also allows him to find their traces.

It really takes [Searching and Hiding] to the extreme!
Unfortunately, it can’t be improved any further.

"Sanshi, what are you looking at?"

Sun Buqi waved in front of him: "Let's go, it's still far away."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi came to his senses and continued on his journey with the two men.

On the way, he noticed a flash of air on his right.

The Luotian Mountains are so vast that I don’t know how many people they can support. Naturally, they are not the only ones who go up the mountain to hunt.

"just in front!"

Around dusk, Bai Tingzhi stopped.

"A while ago, I saw a saber-toothed tiger preying on a white deer from a distance nearby, but I don't know exactly where its nest is. I'd like to trouble you to help me look for it."

"enough."

Chen Sanshi's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he could take in all the "qi" around him. Within two hundred steps, he was basically immune to any sneak attacks!
In addition, previous effects like [Insight] and [Light as a Swallow] have not disappeared, but have become stronger.

He quickly located the saber-toothed tiger's daily hunting range through traces left by wild animals when they fled in fright, and then found a cave that was not too hidden.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Sanshi squatted in the nearby jungle.

Sabre-toothed tigers are different from ordinary insects. They are extremely ferocious beasts, and their fighting power is comparable to that of internal organ warriors.

As a professional hunter, he planned to find other prey to lure the saber-toothed tiger out.

"Sir, I will be your vanguard!"

Who would have thought that Bai Tingzhi would take off the broadsword from his back and rush straight into the tiger's den, and no one could stop him.

"Roar--"

Followed by.

It was a roar and a sound of fighting that made people's hair stand on end.

"This beast is really powerful!"

Bai Tingzhi was seen running out from the depths of the cave in a panic, with his clothes torn into several strips. It was obvious that he had fought with a saber-toothed tiger and had resisted several attacks with his strong body.

"Roar!"

Another tiger roar was heard, and a huge black shadow rushed out from the depths of the cave.

What a beast!
This beast-toothed tiger was eight feet tall at a glance, and one and a half feet long. Two sharp fangs protruded from its bloody mouth, as if it had two long swords. Its forelimb claws were also like steel blades, and could even shine red in the sunset. Its huge size was not enough, its explosive speed was terrifying, even reaching the level of a minor success in refining the internal organs. It could leap more than ten feet in one step, and slammed into Bai Tingzhi's back with its sharp claws.

"Bah-"

The King Kong body was unleashed, and a harsh sound of metal friction was heard.

Bai Tingzhi flew forward several feet and fell into the jungle.

"Shhhhh-"

Sun Buqi pulled the bow randomly and finally hit two arrows, but neither of them hit the vital points. Instead, it made the saber-toothed tiger even more angry.

"Hoohoho!"

The saber-toothed tiger furiously pounced towards its target from the top of the slope, like the incarnation of the god of death descending from the sky, unstoppable!

"boom--"

Until an arrow as powerful as a cannon pierced its heart with unerring precision.

The God of Death suddenly fell, falling straight down from mid-air, and rolled several times before stopping.

Fifty stone bows!

Animals are different from humans.

As long as you don't have intelligence and don't know how to dodge, being hit by an arrow basically means death is not far away.

"It's really awesome."

Chen Sanshi sighed.

After being shot in the heart by an arrow, the saber-toothed tiger was not yet dead. It lay on the ground and struggled to get up. Its vitality was terrifying.

"Bang bang bang-"

Without hesitation, he shot two more arrows, finally killing the tiger completely.

"Good archery!"

Bai Tingzhi stood up, covered in dust and dirt, and admired him very much.

What kind of archery skills does it take to hit the saber-toothed tiger's heart with one arrow at such a fast speed!
"Within three hundred steps, three stones can penetrate poplars and willows. It's amazing!"

Sun Buqi was not surprised: "He also taught me archery himself."

Bai Tingzhi couldn't help laughing.

Chen Sanshi didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, but walked towards the huge saber-toothed tiger corpse, thinking about something.

He just saw it clearly.

The aura of the saber-toothed tiger is light blue.

How does it manage to absorb the light blue air?
All kinds of energy between heaven and earth must be closely related to immortal traces.

Unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who know this.

Master Sun, whose realm is above that of a Martial Saint, may have studied Qi, and may even have made a breakthrough beyond that of a Martial Saint, which requires him to understand and use different kinds of Qi.

What kind of aura does Governor Sun have?
Up to now, Chen Sanshi has never met the old man.

But it's soon.

During the selection and assessment, not only the commander-in-chief, but also the governor, the military supervisor, and many prestigious figures in the Liangzhou army would come to watch. It is said that some of them would become the sons-in-law of generals because of this.

It is the same reason as the dignitaries in the capital city who like to choose their son-in-law from among the top scholars in the imperial examination.

"Master Chen, there are still poisonous beasts!"

Chen Sanshi was planning to move the saber-toothed tiger's body when Bai Tingzhi's voice rang in his ears again.

He also noticed movement in the woods to the east.

It was a little monkey, brown all over except for a tuft of white hair on its head. Its eyes were red and it was covered in blood. It was seriously injured.

When he came in front of them, he staggered and fell to the ground and died.

"Where did this little beast come from?"

Bai Tingzhi went over to check: "Why is he still injured?"

"No, leave quickly!"

Sun Buqi reminded loudly: "It is the cub of 'Soldier Ape'. These monkeys can imitate humans in using weapons. There are many of them in Luotian Mountains. Their strengths vary. They have a strong desire for revenge at critical moments!

“No matter who kills their cubs, they will come in groups to take revenge. I don’t know how many warriors who went up the mountain to hunt were besieged and killed.

"Later, these soldier apes were poisoned and turned into poisonous beasts, and no one wanted to mess with them anymore!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"

Before he could finish his words, he was surrounded by the cries of monkeys from all directions.

One gibbon after another was either running and jumping or floating among the treetops. Within a few breaths, they densely packed together and blocked the way. They held all kinds of weapons in their hands, some old, some new, some broken, and some exquisite. It was unknown how many warriors who went up the mountain to hunt died in their hands.

Leading them was an old white-haired ape holding a Mo Dao in his hand.

Without exception, they all have blood-red energy flowing in their bodies.

The white-haired old ape has the strongest aura, and its strength is probably one level higher than that of the saber-toothed tiger. The most important thing is that it seems to have judgment and thoughts. At this moment, it looks at the corpse of the baby ape on the ground, and then looks at several people, grinning and swinging the blade in anger.

"Ow!"

A swarm of monkeys attacked the crowd.

"Damn it, why would this monkey die in front of us?"

Sun Buqi's face was grim: "Besides, this is not the habitat of the soldier apes. Why did they come here?"

Why else...

Because someone did it on purpose!

Chen Sanshi noticed the flash of air again, and also heard some movement in the dense forest. However, his vision was blocked and he couldn't see who it was.

Stronger than my qi.

It is probably the great achievement of refining the internal organs.

"It's them……"

……

"Sir!"

Yin Hanwen hid behind a tree, quietly watching the besieged people, and said with gloating: "They have been disrespectful to you time and time again, especially the kid named Bai, teach them a lesson!"

Based on the direction the men left, they judged that they were hunting in the mountains, so they had some evil ideas.

Since private fighting is not allowed within the eight camps, they will do it outside.

Moreover, they don't do it themselves, but take advantage of the habits of poisonous animals. Even if something happens, no one can contact them.

"Yeah. Anyway, Chen is from the Yan Party, so there's no need to win him over."

Cao Fan said in a deep voice: "It's okay if the others died. Sun Buqi is also here, so he will be alright, right?"

"Don't worry, Prince."

Yin Hanwen said: "Let's keep an eye on it here. If something happens, it won't be too late to rescue Sun Buqi later."

"Brother Yin, are you guys going a little too far?"

Tang Yingke frowned and carefully advised: "They are disrespectful to the prince, but their crime is not punishable by death..."

"The surname is Tang!"

Yin Hanwen cursed in a low voice: "We are together!"

"I am worried."

Wen Qiushi took over the conversation and said, "Are these soldier apes enough to surround and kill them?"

Yin Hanwen said while lying on his stomach, "Who knows? This is a good opportunity to try out what they are capable of."

"Eh!"

I watched as a few people started fighting with the soldier apes.

Tang Yingke couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked up his sword and ran out: "Brother Buqi, I'm here to help you!"

"Mr. Tang, do you want to die?!"

Wen Qiushi wanted to catch it, but it was too late.

"Let him go! I don't think he would dare to say that it was our plan."

Yin Hanwen cursed and said, "His father was a fence-sitter in the court, and he is the same. I will punish him severely when I get back! It would be best if he died here! Hmm?"

The three of them were shocked by the scene before them.

Facing the siege of the soldier apes, the bowstring in Chen Sanshi's hand kept ringing like thunder. Every time an arrow was shot, a soldier ape would fall to the ground. In less than a cup of tea, more than thirty soldier apes were shot and killed.

Even the old ape who served as the leader was shot through the head by an arrow after he only blocked five arrows with his weapon.

"This bow is over thirty stones!"

Cao Fan could see it and said, "How come this man is so good at archery!"

"You don't have to worry, Prince. Archery is not a test for the selection of warriors. After all, archery is not very useful for warriors at a high level."

Yin Hanwen clenched his fists: "It's just hateful. I can't count on these beasts."

"Then leave quickly!"

Wen Qiushi was a little nervous: "If they find out and report it to the Governor's Mansion, Sun Xiangzong will not care about our status."

"go!"

"careful!"

As they stood up.

Chen Sanshi shot another arrow.

On the surface, he was shooting at a soldier ape, but in fact, it was aimed at them.

"boom--"

The arrow actually shot directly through the tree trunk and then pierced Yin Hanwen's shoulder. If it had been an inch off, it would have hit the heart!

"what!"

"Shut up!"

Cao Fan covered his mouth to prevent him from giving birth, then carried him on his back and walked away.

"He definitely did it on purpose!"

After running two miles, Yin Hanwen could no longer hold back and began to howl like a ghost: "Prince, he...he dared to shoot me!"

If he hadn't been hiding behind the tree and the other party had no sight of him, wouldn't he have died on the spot?

"Then what can be done?"

Cao Fan gnashed his teeth and said, "Who told you to come up with this idea? We can't stand it. Wait until the selection of the vanguard begins, and then teach him a lesson in the martial arts arena!"

"I... I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the selection..."

Yin Hanwen screamed continuously.

Before the selection of forwards even started, they were forced to withdraw one of their players. They were unable to make any statement and had to swallow this loss.
