Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 108 I haven't made a move yet, why did you fall down? (Three updates and sixteen thousand monthly tickets requested)
Qingcang County.

The city gate is tall and wide.

There was a steady flow of people.

Looking around, most of the people coming and going are warriors.

There are many stalls next to the city gate.

The vendors shouted loudly:

"Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are being collected in large quantities!"

"Do you have dragon scale fruit? Buy it at a high price!"

"Monster meat! Buying monster meat in large quantities! Even ordinary meat!"

……

Seeing this lively scene before their eyes, Nangong Lie and others couldn't help but look at each other.

No matter how wildly they imagined, they had never imagined that Qingcang County would be like this.

At this time, a warrior with a yellow face suddenly came forward and asked with rotten teeth:
"Hey, guys, do you have any herbs? We take any herbs, and the price is very fair. Why don't you take some out and weigh them?"

Nangong Lie asked calmly:

"Why do you set up your stalls at the city gate?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Talking about this, the jute warrior looked unhappy:
"Since the trade route was cut off, supplies in the city have become increasingly scarce. Things like oil, salt, rice and grain are not so bad. Even if there is a shortage, there are other substitutes.

However, many of those unique medicinal herbs and even expensive meat of special exotic animals originally came in with the caravan.

Now that the trade routes are blocked, those things can’t come in, and the city is in great need of them, so don’t we have to buy them from outside?”

“At the beginning, it was fine, we all set up stalls on the street and everyone was competing with each other, so it was not a big deal.

But later, some bastard set up a stall at the city gate, and directly caught all the mountain people who came into the city to sell goods and the warriors who returned from adventures, forcing everyone to set up their stalls here. "

"I heard that recently some people are even planning to set up stalls in Zhenyushi. Damn, they really don't leave any way for people to survive."

As he was speaking, he saw a few mountain people carrying mountain products walking towards this side. The Huangma Warrior no longer had time to complain and hurriedly rushed over with a group of people.

Seeing this scene, Junior Brother He Xu snorted with disdain:

"Qingcang is indeed a small county in a remote corner. Once the only trade route was cut off, it immediately became a horrible state. If it were our Fulong County, even if three trade routes were cut off, it would not be a problem at all."

Another junior fellow apprentice, Li Jing, shook his head and said:

"Fulong has a superior geographical location and a large number of visitors. Of course, it cannot be compared with Qingcang. Take the top masters for example. Who among the powerful forces over there is not at the advanced level? The violent energy is at most at the middle level. I heard that Qingcang's violent energy is not even the number of his hands. It's so funny to tell others about it."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Nangong Lie said calmly:

"People from small places don't have any spiritual medicine, magic skills, or guidance from high-level cultivators. It's already a great achievement for them to figure out a few explosive powers on their own. If you were placed in this kind of environment, you may never be able to develop explosive powers in your entire life."

"That makes sense."

Li Jing sighed:
"If we were not independent cultivators, but came from those big forces, we would at least be the top talents now, and it would be possible for us to achieve the state of entering the realm of strength. Why would we need to follow the master like we are doing now, and collect resources everywhere with great difficulty all day long?"

When talking about the master, all three of them fell silent.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, what the master did was no different from that of an evil cultivator, but to them, he was a relative who was like a father.

Now that my master is dead, I will take revenge no matter what!
A big part of the reason why everyone previously stayed at the place where the Ghost Face Vine grew was to avenge their master.

But now the growing place has been taken away by outsiders and all the traps have been destroyed, so there is only one last way left - swallowing the elixir!
When the master was traveling abroad in his early years, he accidentally obtained a book of martial arts called "Extreme Yang True Body".

This is a great medicine technique from the Lingzhi Sect, which uses humans as medicine to nourish oneself and improve cultivation.

Take "The True Body of Extreme Yang" for example, the herb grower needs to practice the method in this chapter, while the great herb cultivator practices the medicine refining method "Flame Yang Power" attached to this chapter.

After practicing "Yan Yang Jin", the vital energy in the body will become extremely yang and strong. This kind of vital energy is extremely powerful and can often give you a great advantage in a fight.

But the practitioners of "Flame Yang Power" don't know that this medicine refining method itself has a backdoor. It's fine if it happens to outsiders, but if it happens to those who practice "Extreme Yang True Body", all their vitality will be easily sucked away by the other party.

These absorbed positive energies can not only further strengthen their physical strength, but also greatly enhance their origins, and even help them enter the violent energy realm on the spot!

This is the truth behind the violent anger of many forces. How can one absorb the power of others as quickly as practicing hard on one's own?
Even though there may be some sequelae, such as physical alienation or mental disorder.

But strength is strength.

The power of insanity is still power!

I beat all the normal people to death, and still someone says I'm mentally ill?

Qingcang County was chosen by their master as a place to grow medicine because of its poverty and backwardness, inconvenient transportation and few people coming and going.

Because they are not the only ones practicing "Extreme Yang True Body", and "Flame Yang Power" also takes a lot of time from planting to harvesting, and they cannot stay by the big medicine during this period.

In order to prevent the medicine from being taken away by other growers along the way, a remote and rare herbal medicine growing site becomes the key among the keys.

Originally, these elixirs were prepared by their master for the purpose of achieving the state of entering the realm of strength, but now that their master is dead, these elixirs naturally cannot be wasted. If they were all absorbed by them, it would be no problem for them to break through the realm of strength on the spot.

And if they had the power to be violent and combined the strength of three people, who could stop their revenge?

"Let's go! Let's go to Zhou's house first!"

Nangong Lie gave an order and immediately took He Xu and Li Jing and strode into the city.

Before coming here, Master once said that his arrangement at that time was mainly centered around the local big family, the Zhou family. Whether it was Li Yuan's corpse, the alternative corpse puppet, or the medicine refining method, all of them were based on this family.

Injecting multiple resources into one family is conducive to concentrated harvesting, while also improving the other party's ability to resist risks, such as the infighting among forces within the city, and the possible emergence of other medicine growers.

Those people who grow medicine don’t know anything about Li Yuan or even corpse puppets.

However, after asking around, the results they got left the three of them dumbfounded:
"What? The Zhou family collapsed?"

"The entire family retreated out of the city?"

"Have they teamed up with Qingyun Village outside the city?"

The three of them just looked confused.

Although Zhou Shengcai's death had made them vaguely aware that something unknown might have happened to the Zhou family, they did not expect that such a large Zhou family would actually move out.

"It doesn't matter. It's just that the Zhou family has relocated. Maybe Zhou Jingshan is still here. The great medicine technique back then was spread out with him as the core.

According to the plan set by the master, the Zhou family would select a number of people every year to practice this technique. Over the years, there were at least several hundred people accumulated, and it was impossible for all of them to disappear.

As long as we find Zhou Jingshan, we can find the gathering point of the great medicine and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Hearing Nangong Lie's confident voice, He Xu and Li Jing quickly calmed down.

But soon, they learned new bad news from an old stall owner near Zhou's house:
"What? Zhou Jingshan has already died?!"

"Duan Hua, Li Jin, Zhou Feng, and the others are all dead too?"

"After Zhou Jingshan killed them, he burned his skills and betrayed the Zhou family?!"

The three people's faces were filled with disbelief.

When he came to his senses, Nangong Lie's face suddenly turned pale:
"Zhou Jingshan, that bastard!!"

"He must have discovered the problem with the 'Yan Yang Jin'!!"

Hearing this, He Xu and Li Jing also reacted quickly.

Although the method of refining medicine "Yan Yang Jin" is secretive, some people with extraordinary talents or sensitive and suspicious minds may be able to discover the hidden problems in it.

It is very likely that Zhou Jingshan discovered the problem and tried to find a solution but failed.

Under the premise that the Zhou family had great trust in their master, in order to prevent the "Yan Yang Jin" from spreading in the family and making many family warriors and outsiders become victims, he could only wait until the master left, kill all the warriors who practiced "Yan Yang Jin", burn all the skills, and escape alone.

After figuring out the reason, Nangong Lie and the other two became furious.

Now that their skills have been burned and Zhou Jingshan is dead, they can't even take revenge on that guy.

The three of them were filled with anger and were almost about to vomit blood.

After a long silence, Li Jing left the stall and asked with a worried look on his face:
"The Flaming Sun Force has been burned. What should we do next?"

Nangong Lie took several deep breaths and barely suppressed the anger in his heart.

He said in a deep voice:
"We got all our information from that old stall owner."

"That man is old and his eyesight is dim, so his words may not be reliable."

"We can ask around to see if there is more detailed information."

"Perhaps Zhou Jingshan failed to burn all of the Yan Yang Jin, or perhaps a handwritten copy existed, so that someone could still practice it."

“It’s not time to despair completely yet!”

Hearing this, He Xu and Li Jing's eyes lit up.

Nangong Lie continued to instruct:

"In order to speed up the collection of information, we will split into three groups and search in three directions to investigate the information related to the "Yan Yang Jin". Regardless of whether there is any result in the end, we will gather here at midnight tonight."

"Understood!"

"Big Brother, leave it to me!"

He Xu and Li Jing responded in a deep voice.

The three of them each chose a direction and started searching quickly.

……

Bingliu Street.

There was constant hawking along the streets.

The streets are bustling with people and excitement.

Li Jing walked among the crowd, but only felt it was noisy.

As he pushed through the crowd and walked forward, he was thinking about his next move.

He had just found out that Zhou Jingshan was killed by the worshiper of Weiwuyuan.

Then it is very likely that Zhou Jingshan’s relics have also fallen into the Weiwu Courtyard.

Maybe the "Yan Yang Jin" exists in it.

As he was thinking about it, the vital energy in his body suddenly trembled slightly.

Li Jing's eyes suddenly focused and he turned to look at a warrior who was passing by.

A medicine cultivator who practices "Extreme Yang True Body" can sense the great medicine of practicing "Flaming Yang Power" at a close distance.

This is also a way to judge a good medicine.

But the problem is, isn’t the perception distance at least ten feet?

Why did he only become aware of this person's presence when he walked by?
Could it be that he has just started to learn the "Yan Yang Jin"?
Thinking in his mind, Li Jing had already taken a step forward and followed.

Soon we arrived at a remote alley.

Gou Jingxian turned around and looked at Li Jing, and asked in a deep voice:

"Friend, you have followed me all the way, shouldn't you tell me your purpose?"

Li Jing saw that he was discovered, but he didn't care. He smiled and asked:

"Have you practiced the "Yan Yang Jin"? "

Gou Jingxian narrowed his eyes slightly:
"What if I practiced? What if I didn't practice?"

"If you can practice, that would be great!"

"Really? I think it couldn't be better."

Before he finished speaking, Gou Jingxian had already made his move, and the extremely yang energy in his body fiercely hit Li Jing.

Sensing that familiar breath, Li Jing was overjoyed:

"Well done!"

He did not attack, but stretched out his right hand, ready to take the palm on the spot.

The great medicine practitioners who practice "Yan Yang Jin" will never know that their vitality will not harm the person who planted the medicine at all, but will only be transformed into a tonic and be swallowed up by the other party on the spot.

No matter how fierce his moves are, once the source of his vitality is devoured, all his attacks will be like rootless duckweed, completely without any killing power.

The moment the two palms clapped, the extremely yang energy suddenly rushed into Li Jing's palms.

However, just as Li Jing was ecstatically preparing to absorb it, the extremely yang and fierce vital energy suddenly exploded like a fierce fireball, igniting all the vital energy in his body.

“This… isn’t right!”

"Why is this happening?!"

"This is definitely not Yan Yang Jin!!"

"Uhhh-!!!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out in the narrow alley.

Gou Jingxian was extremely shocked to see that the warrior in front of him had scorching flames spewing out of his whole body.

In an instant, the other person was completely burned through, turning into a distorted charred corpse, emitting a strong smell of burnt and barbecued meat.

His face was still etched with a hideous expression of shock and fear.

Gou Jingxian looked at his hands, unable to believe it for a moment:
"It was clearly just a tentative strike from me, how come it was so powerful?"

Gou Jingxian fell into deep confusion.

……

Phoenix Pavilion.

He Xu, waving a folding fan, strode in with the warm welcome of the brothel owner.

People in high places are often well-informed.

The so-called upper class people most often frequent these top-notch brothels.

Therefore, as soon as he inquired about the status of Phoenix Pavilion, he immediately came over.

He casually ordered some food, left behind a purple silver ingot worth a hundred taels of gold, and asked the brothel owner to call some lively-eyed young ladies over to chat with him.

The madam was overjoyed and ran to call people, and soon a group of beautiful girls gathered around.

These beauties were not the most beautiful, but He Xu did not care. He chatted with them about all sorts of things. He mentioned the "Yan Yang Jin" inadvertently, and the news he got shocked him instantly:

"What did you say? There are a bunch of warriors practicing the 'Yan Yang Jin' in this pavilion?!"

"Isn't that right? That group of people have been gathering in the East Pavilion for quite a few days now."

A girl with eloquent words replied immediately.

Other girls nearby were not far behind:
"Yes, yes, that group of people have been here for a long time, and they have almost made this place their home."

"I heard that it's not good there. The sisters who are in charge of reception are the most relaxed. Just chat and touch each other casually."

"Oh, your news is outdated. They had problems during their practice before, but now they are all fine. Yesterday, the four sisters Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju took care of one of them. He shouted for half the night until his voice became hoarse. They kept going on and on, and we haven't seen him out all day today."

"Hiss! So scary? I really want to try it!!"

"I want to, too!"

……

After hearing all this chatter, He Xu could no longer bear it. After asking for directions, he immediately ran away like a gust of wind.

The young ladies were stunned by his hasty action - did he want to try it too?

He Xu naturally wanted to try it. Who would have thought that he not only found the great medicine for practicing "Yan Yang Jin", but also broke into the opponent's lair.

What’s the difference between this and a mouse falling into a rice jar?
Looking at the dozen or so vigorous and lively medicinal plants on the field, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind.

These are all the resources for achieving rage!!
"I'm not greedy!"

"I'll only eat one!"

“Just eat one to try it out!”

He Xu swallowed his saliva, like a wolf that had been hungry for several days, and his eyes were almost glowing green.

He walked closer and went to Zhu Jiugong, who was closest and had the best appearance.

Bian Conghu, who was sitting opposite Zhu Jiugong and discussing cultivation with him, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Seeing He Xu coming towards him like a pervert, he frowned and asked:

"Friend, are you sick?"

Zhu Jiugong turned his head away, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

He Xu laughed so hard that his mouth was almost watering:

"Two? Two is fine! Two should be enough to fill you up!"

As he spoke, he made a move as fast as lightning and grabbed Zhu Jiugong's shoulder.

Zhu Jiugong had been prepared for this and immediately dodged and stepped back.

Bian Conghu approached from the side and tried to block it.

However, He Xu suddenly took a quick step forward and pressed his right hand hard on Zhu Jiugong's shoulder.

"I suck!"

The smile on He Xu's face suddenly froze:
"Why can't you suck it?"

"Why can't I suck it?!"

"How could it be possible that I can't take the powerful medicine I promised you?!"

Before he could figure it out, Bian Conghu's right hand had already slapped him on the back.

He Xu was not worried.

It's just a mere flaming sun force, how can it cause any harm to him?

"Pfft" sound.

Looking at the bloody hand piercing through his chest, He Xu was bewildered.

Until he fell limply to the ground, He Xu still couldn't figure out how that hand could penetrate him.

Bian Conghu looked at the corpse on the ground, his face suddenly turned pale, followed by extreme pain:

"I obviously didn't mean to kill him!"

"I clearly only intended to seriously injure him!"

"Why not defend?!"

"Why don't you let me do good deeds?!"

Bian Conghu roared.

The man in his forties instantly burst into tears and cried like a child.

……

Dongfeng Restaurant.

There were crowds of people and it was very lively.

Nangong Lie sat at a square table.

The table was filled with braised beef, pig ears and other food.

There was also a jar of hot rice wine next to it.

While eating and drinking, he carefully looked around and listened to everyone's conversation.

Restaurants and teahouses have always been good places to get news.

Those ordinary diners may not be good at fighting, but their gossiping ability is top-notch.

Many unknown secrets can even be learned from them.

Sure enough, before he could take the initiative to inquire about the news, the discussion of "Yan Yang Jin" at the next table came into his ears.

Nangong Lie picked up the rice wine on the table and walked over with a smile.

After meal.

He bought a box of sleeve arrows from the weapons shop at a high price.

Be careful when applying the deadly poison.

Only then did he strode towards the Weiwu Courtyard.

According to the information he had heard, someone in the city had been practicing "Flame Sun Force" a long time ago, but it had serious side effects that Jill could not use.

Until recently, An Gongfeng of Weiwu Academy gave a public lecture and finally solved this problem for many warriors. He was revered by the public as the "Great Sage Who Can Help People Give Birth to Children."

Rumor has it that some craftsmen have begun carving his doll models and selling them specifically to infertile couples. They are said to be very popular and selling very well.

From the gossips of the diners, it can be seen that they highly respect An Gongfeng.

Nangong Lie could only sneer at this.

If others don’t know clearly, doesn’t he still know?

The genuine "Yan Yang Jin" did not originally have the side effects that Jill could not use. After all, with such obvious side effects, which pharmacist would practice it?

This is not conducive to promotion at all!

Under normal circumstances, the more powerful the medicine refining method is, the more likely it is that a great medicine practitioner will take the initiative to practice it.

Therefore, the "Yan Yang Jin" practiced by those people in the city is most likely fake, or an incomplete version.

Now, after the guidance and correction by Mr. An, it has become the normal version.

This shows what?
This means that An Gongfeng may have mastered the genuine "Yan Yang Jin"!
This means that he is most likely a medicine grower who has practiced the "Extreme Yang True Body"!
"Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise we wouldn't even know that the herbs in the herb garden were picked by wild herb growers!"

Nangong Lie sneered:
"Since you dare to steal our medicine, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With the determination to kill, Nangong Lie soon arrived at Weiwuyuan.

Weiwuyuan does not prohibit outsiders from entering.

After some inquiries, he quickly found out where An Gongfeng lived.

However, he did not act immediately, but instead found a remote corner where no one was.

He used the "Thousand Faces and Incarnations" that he had successfully mastered with the help of the Ghost Face Vine not long ago, and barely adjusted his facial features.

Only when he could no longer see his true appearance did he take advantage of the darkening sky and approach An Gongfeng's residence.

Before I got close, I saw an old man with gray hair and a strong body.

As they passed each other, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

At the same time, a long voice came to my ears:

"Are you here to visit An Gongfeng as well?"

Nangong Lie paused for a moment and responded:

"That's right. I plan to ask Lord An about the Flaming Sun Force."

"Why have I never seen you before?"

Yao Lanxi's eyes were like those of an eagle, staring at Nangong Lie.

Nangong Lie suddenly laughed:
"Does your Excellency know all the warriors in Qingcang?"

"You have a point. I was abrupt."

Yao Lanxi nodded, turned around, and reminded:

"Mr. An is not here. I just visited him. I suggest you come back tomorrow."

"Not here?"

Nangong Lie's expression froze slightly.

In an instant, a pair of skinny sharp claws, with a biting gust of wind, suddenly attacked his waist and abdomen.

The incident happened suddenly, and Nangong Lie only had time to dodge to the left. The clothes on the back of his waist were torn open, and a muscle on the side of his waist was hit by the vital energy, and blood oozed out instantly.

Seeing that only a few strands of blood were oozing from his waist, Yao Lanxi was a little surprised:

"You were able to escape unscathed after taking half of my Yang-Removing Hand. It seems like you're really capable!"

Nangong Lie was suddenly shocked and angry:
"I have never offended you before, so why did you do such a cruel thing to me?!"

Yao Lanxi sneered:

"You have too much murderous intent, and your target is directly targeting An Gongsheng. It's ok if you want to deceive others, but who do you think I am?!"

As he said this, he rubbed his body forward again, his hands like sharp claws, and pounced forward.

When it was halfway into the air, it suddenly flipped over and landed on the side.

Yao Lanxi glanced at her torn sleeve and her face darkened.

Looking forward again, the other party had taken advantage of the time to launch the hidden weapon to escape and disappeared.

……

It was dark.

Ning Yan, who had just completed a bounty mission, walked leisurely towards Weiwu Courtyard.

Ever since he decided to earn points, he started completing tasks without stopping. He had just completed a task worth 20 points and was about to hand it in when he saw a figure coming out from the corner, staggering towards him.

Ning Yan was just about to let the other person pass when he suddenly felt that the figure was quite familiar.

Looking more closely, the figure in my impression became more and more overlapping.

"Good fellow! How dare you come to Weiwuyuan!!"

"Killing Lao Hai is not enough! How dare you show up in front of me?!"

"Lao Hai! Today I will send all of that old man's disciples to be buried with you!"

Ning Yan was shocked and angry when he recognized Nangong Lie.

However, he hadn't waited for a move yet.

Then a slight "chi" sound was heard.

A wisp of hazy smoke suddenly emerged from above Nangong Lie's head.

Soon after, more and more smoke came out from his head, face, shoulders, legs and feet.

His eyes were dull, tears were streaming down his cheeks, and he cried out in grief:
"Why?!"

"Why did our great medicine turn into poison?!"

Along with this shrill cry, a raging fire suddenly burst out of his body.

In just a few breaths, he was completely burned into a charred corpse.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan was extremely shocked:
"Why did you fall down before I even made a move?"

With a loud bang, the body fell straight to the ground.

A box of brand new hidden arrows fell out.

Seeing this, Ning Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Hey, this can also drop equipment?"

……

In the crypt.

The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling continued.

Liu Jiangnan walked on the dark and narrow mountain path, his head covered with sweat.

Soon he arrived at the majestic stone hall.

The walls on both sides of the stone hall were lined with torches, illuminating the dim shadows inside.

A terrifying figure with an iron chain around his neck was lying on the ground, barking and tearing a corpse apart.

After gnawing the corpse until only the skeleton was left, he crawled back to a man in blue on all fours, opened his bloody mouth, and smiled flatteringly:

"Brother, brother, do you think I looked like a dog?"

“Yes, and no.”

The man in blue said patiently:

"Dogs don't leave bones."

The Chained Man thought for a moment and nodded.

"Brother, you are right. I will go back and eat it all."

Having said that, he turned around and ran back.

"You're here."

The man in blue turned his head to look at Liu Jiangnan at the entrance of the cave, revealing an extremely old face that formed a sharp contrast with the black hair on his head.

Liu Jiangnan's legs trembled, and he suppressed his fear and said:

"I have met the boss."

The man in blue, or the head of Qingyun Village, Gu Wanbin, asked calmly:
"Where's the stuff?"

Liu Jiangnan immediately took out the package he was carrying, but he made several mistakes in the simple action of unpacking the package.

After the package was completely unwrapped and the contents were exposed, Liu Jiangnan replied in a state of exhaustion:

"All the dragon blood ginseng in Qingcang County is here."

Gu Wanbin nodded slightly as if he didn't care:
"well done."

Liu Jiangnan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He went on to say:

"The next task is to buy enough Rotten Bone Spirit Flowers for me."

Liu Jiangnan wanted to say that this kind of precious medicinal material is almost impossible to obtain now.

But when he met those indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but tremble with fear and gritted his teeth and said:
"I will do my best!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Gu Wanbin said calmly:

"Once you have completed all the tasks on this side, I will make you the third violent person in the village."

“Real outrage.”

PS: No, no, I am almost exhausted. I will take a break after updating twice tomorrow and try to reach 10,000 words orz
