Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 434: Fire-breathing Bird (Two in One)

In the past, the two dogs could not eat the meat of monsters, but I don’t know if it was because Song Changming had fed the two dogs too many precious nutrients over the years, or for some other reason, but now they have gradually followed their master and started to eat monster meat little by little.

Gradually, their bodies became immune to the damage caused by the remaining demonic energy. With the nourishment of demonic flesh, the two dogs' evolutionary path, which had been somewhat stagnant, continued again.

Following another dormant evolution not long ago, even if an ordinary demon general were to face these two dogs of his, he might not be able to get away with it.

In addition to the two dogs in the yard, there was also a little yellow bird lying on a rock, basking in the sun comfortably while enjoying the little white bird beside it combing its hair with its beak.

In June, the weather is extremely hot and the long-term exposure to sunlight is enough to ignite the hay. You can imagine how fierce it is.

But the little yellow bird really enjoys this scorching sunbath and often basks in the sun.

When the little yellow bird noticed Song Changming coming back, it became energetic. It flipped over, flapped its wings, glided down from the rock, flew to Song Changming's side, and circled back and forth.

This is also the reason why Song Changming changed the name of the little yellow chicken into the little yellow bird.

Xiao Huang can fly now, and his wings are no longer just for decoration.

Although it was not flying smoothly and could only get a few feet off the ground, it was still a big breakthrough.

Song Changming also confirmed that Xiao Huang is a bird and not a free-range chicken.

In fact, this is not the biggest change that Xiao Huang has experienced in the past eight years.

Xiao Huang can not only fly, but also spit fire!

This is also the first time that it has shown its magical powers since it came to Song Changming and was raised for so many years.

The fact that it can spit fire proves that it is not an ordinary bird.

This phenomenon was discovered by Song Changming in the kitchen one day.

At that time, Xiao Huang was waiting for the food in the pot, looking eagerly at the firewood under the stove. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spit out the first flame, which then burned his beak black.

But no matter what, flying is the first skill the little yellow bird learned, and spitting fire is the second ability it mastered.

Don’t think that spitting fire is nothing in this bizarre and mysterious world. Lots of monsters and strange beasts can spit fire and spray water.

But in fact, although both are spitting fire, there are differences.

Most of the monsters have acquired the magic skills that allow them to spit fire, spray water and conduct electricity. Most of the strange beasts are ordinary wild creatures that have suddenly awakened after eating exotic flowers and fruits.

Only a few monsters and beasts can acquire the innate ability to control fire and water through the growth of their own bloodlines without the need for external forces. This is an innate ability!

Often, what is innate is not ordinary water or fire!

Just like the strange thunder awakened in Xu Yuan, Kang Jinshu and Lei Lunhu, the golden flames spit out by the little yellow bird are also not ordinary flames!

It is an unknown strange fire!
Looking at the little yellow cat fluttering around him, Song Changming took out a precious material.

The precious material came from Master Bai Tian’s gym. It was a natural treasure of the fire element, and was exactly the favorite of the little yellow bird.

"If you want, just spit fire at me and see." Song Changming said with a smile.

The little yellow bird chirped loudly and flew to Song Changming's face, then opened its mouth and spit out a ball of fire the size of a palm.

The flame glowed with golden light, like a ball of flowing brilliant gold, pure and without any impurities.

The temperature of the flame is extremely high. Although it is just a small ball, its power is quite great. Ordinary internal energy may not be able to withstand the burning and erosion of this fire.

That is to say, only the innate martial arts spirit can resist a little.

Song Changming felt it briefly and found that the power of the flame had increased compared to before he left.

I don't know how this fire-breathing ability was improved, but it should have nothing to do with diligent practice.

He had never seen Xiao Huang practice the ability he had acquired diligently. He just lay down at home all day long.

With a wave of his hand, Song Changming extinguished the fire and threw the fire-attributed treasure in his hand to Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang was overjoyed, and Song Changming's mood also improved a little.

Keeping a pet is about enjoying this subtle sense of healing.

Song Changming looked at the white bird that was staring at him quietly again, and tried to pass over some precious materials.

But just like in the past, although the white bird stayed in his Song house for a long time, accompanied the little yellow bird all day long, and was not afraid of him, but the difference between it and the little yellow bird was that it almost never accepted the benefits given by Song Changming.

It also includes the precious treasures given by Song Changming.

Seeing this, Song Changming did not force it and took off his armor with the help of his maid.

After changing into a simple casual outfit, he began to practice swordplay in the yard. Two hours later, he had mastered another second-grade sword technique to perfection before he stopped.

He closed his eyes and carefully experienced all the exquisiteness of this sword technique, then integrated it into his swordsmanship, and immediately felt that he benefited greatly.

Song Changming could truly feel the improvement in his swordsmanship, and the results were almost immediate!

As his sword skills continued to improve day by day, it was becoming easier and easier for him to practice a sword technique to perfection.

Just like this set of second-grade sword techniques, it only took him three months to master it from scratch.

The speed of this liver experience was something he had never dared to imagine in the past.

But now, he is no longer surprised. If it were sword techniques or other martial arts techniques, it would not be possible to have such speed and progress.

After all, his achievements in kendo or other martial arts are far inferior to those in swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Song Changming suddenly took out another item from the Qiankun Ring.

This thing was exactly what Su Qingqing's mother, the fox demon Xi Yanxue, gave him.

The stone slabs are old, and you can feel the traces left by a long period of time on them.

Among these traces, the deep knife mark is the most conspicuous.

There is remnant of sword intent on it, which cannot be swallowed by time.

In the past, Song Changming always felt that he might be able to figure out something from it, but due to his limited vision and attainments in swordsmanship, he was never able to analyze the sword intent on this knife mark.

Now he has learned a lot of sword techniques, and his sword skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

However, he still could not comprehend the knife intent on this mark, and only felt a mysterious feeling of seeing flowers in the fog.

It is precisely this invisible and elusive mystery that makes Song Changming always itchy and unwilling to give up.

Today, Song Changming had completed a set of sword techniques. He felt that he was in good shape, so he tried again.

In fact, he possesses the physical characteristics of a Taoist thinker, so he definitely has a better chance of comprehending this sword energy than other warriors.

All I can say is that it is extremely difficult to comprehend the meaning of this stone slab knife!
It is still the same today. The enlightenment he wants has yet to appear, and it is difficult to clear away the fog.

"Maybe I am still missing something." Song Changming sighed.

In fact, he had another way that might help him understand something from the stone slab.

That is the time-limited state of "potential stimulation" obtained from the daily evaluation. In this extreme training state, his accumulated potential will be stimulated to the maximum extent in one day, just like a cheat, and he can achieve perfection in the martial arts he has practiced in one day!
In the past, every time his potential was stimulated, he would gain greatly.

It’s a pity that if you want to obtain this limited-time status, you have to risk your life.

This state can only be triggered after going through life-and-death moments and receiving daily evaluations of being surrounded by danger.

If you don't handle it properly, you may actually pay the price with your life.

Therefore, although this situation is good, Song Changming would never take the initiative to try to create such a life-and-death moment in the past.

After that, with his growing strength and his calm temperament, such life-and-death moments have not occurred for a long time.

Even though he had fought with the big monster several times and it never appeared, it can be seen how harsh the conditions for triggering this state are.

The stimulation of potential is rare and unattainable. As Song Changming has been unable to understand the stone slab, he can only wait for the opportunity to come.

This night, in the core urban area.

In the main hall of the Su Mansion, all the old men with white beards were sitting there, looking calm and composed.

There are seven in total, all of them are martial arts masters!

Each of them has a strong aura, with spiritual energy flowing in and out with their breath, and white smoke billowing, just like the ethereal figures of old immortals.

"This year, Prince Cui deducted another 20% on the grounds that the imperial banquet was held to show his political achievements." The head of the Su family, Su Gongming, said in a deep voice.

The seven old masters of the Su family present opened their eyes one after another, with expressionless faces.

“If I remember correctly, King Cui already reduced his tribute by 10% of the spiritual crystals three years ago.” An old master said.

“Not only that, in the year when the evil signs ended, King Cui also reduced the payment of materials by 10% on the pretext of reviving the Cuibai Dao, and he reduced the payment by 10% from then on.

Three years ago, the amount of spiritual crystals lost increased to 20%, and this year, it has been reduced by another 20% on this basis," Su Gongming explained.

"King Cui is testing our bottom line step by step."

"good."

"How dare he? Could it be that he has really broken through to the late Grandmaster level?"

"This is impossible!"

"What if he really breaks through to the late Grandmaster level? What should we do?"

When this question was raised, several old masters of the Su family, including the head of the family, Su Gongming, fell silent.

During the most domineering period when the Su family suppressed the local royal power of Cuibai Dao, it can be said that the treasury of the palace was the Su family's savings.

Afterwards, the Su family inevitably declined due to the loss of their ancestral land and foundation. The royal power then began to rise and gradually escaped from the control of the Su family.

At that time, the palace treasury was no longer open to the Su family to take things at will, but the Su family remained strong and made a secret agreement.

The accounts of the spiritual crystals and all materials that the palace earns every year must be reviewed by the Su family, and a portion of them will be taken away.

It's like this day after day, year after year.

Gradually, the Su family's commission seemed to become natural and reasonable.

This agreement still exists to this day!
The Su family is like a dormant evil beast, lying on the entire Cuibai Road and sucking blood for thousands of years!

After the current King Cui came to power, the friction with the Su family began to become intense.

In the eyes of the Su family, this King Cui is undoubtedly the most disobedient and the most rebellious.

Not only does he lack respect for his Su family on a daily basis, but now he even has the idea of ​​​​remembering the agreement made back then. He is really asking for more!
However, the decline of the Su family seemed irreversible, and this King Cui had unknowingly grown to a level that made them fear him.

If not, why would they have to endure this situation?

Now there was only one problem before them.

That is whether or not to completely break off relations with this King Cui. Even if they can defeat King Cui in the end, his Su family will certainly suffer losses.

If both sides were to suffer losses by accident, it would not be good news for the already declining Su family.

There are too many factors for them to consider. The Su family seems to be still powerful in Cuibai Road, but compared with the Su family hundreds of years ago, the family strength is almost only one-tenth of what it was before!
"If the Dongdan Patriarch were still alive, it wouldn't have come to this." After a moment of silence, Su Gongming suddenly said.

His unintentional words also caused displeasure among several old masters of the Su family present. Just as one of the masters was about to speak, a gust of evening breeze suddenly blew open the door to the main hall.

Suddenly, an old voice floated in with the wind.

"So what if I'm here? Do you think the family's revitalization still depends on an old man like me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. Even the seven old masters were startled and stood up suddenly, looking towards the palace door.

There, an old man in white walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Greetings, ancestor!" Su Gongming was the first to react. He hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed deeply, performing a great salute.

The person in front of him was five generations older than him. Although he was the current head of the Su family, he was truly a junior among juniors in front of the other party.

"Ancestor Dongdan, you are finally back after wandering for more than eighty years!" An old master also bowed to him.

There was only a difference of two generations between him and the old ancestor, so there was no need for him to perform such a grand ceremony with Su Gongming.

"After so many years, I never thought that my family would be so desolate. If I had come back later, would I not have been able to see the Su family?!"

Su Dongdan waved his sleeves, quite angrily.

Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the current situation of the Su family after he came back.

"Eighty years ago, it was you old bones who ran the family. Eighty years later, it's still you. In the past eighty years, not a single young person has reached the Grandmaster level?"

"Ancestor, please calm down." Faced with Su Dongdan's scolding after he came back, Su Gongming and the other seven old masters of the Su family were so scolded that they could not even raise their heads.

The lack of successors is what they worry about on a daily basis.

Just as their ancestor said, they haven't had a new master for more than eighty years.

If it weren't for the fact that their Su family is an immortal family, and their old masters have lived longer than ordinary masters, I'm afraid the Su family would be even more decadent now.

Su Dongdan’s anger is justified.

"Xiao Gongming, tell me, what's going on? Are there any other people?" Su Dongdan strode to the first seat in the main hall without any hesitation, looked at Su Gongming and asked.

Su Gongming only knew that the other old masters had been in seclusion for a long time, and unless the family was really going to be exterminated, those old masters would not interfere with the family's daily meetings and decision-making.

Even during the Black Obsidian period, not all the old masters of the Su family showed up.

No one in the outside world can know exactly how many martial arts masters there are in the Changsheng Su family.

This has always been a secret.
