After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 7 7. Even the smallest qualifications can bring about an improvement in status

After comprehending the complete "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique", Song Yan spent another year of his life trying out the difference between the complete version and the reduced version. As a result, he found that the amount of evil Xuan that could be absorbed into his body each year increased from "4 strands" to "20 strands".

This made him quite emotional.

The difference in the techniques alone resulted in a 5-fold difference in efficiency. This was just the most basic "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique". If it was any other secret technique, I don't know how much bigger the difference would be.

Even in the same environment and with the same root aptitude, different techniques will lead to vastly different results in cultivation.

In other words, with his inferior Ghost Xuan root, it took him twenty-five or twenty-six years in this foggy environment to raise his realm to the first level of Lian Xuan. But if he had used the complete version of the "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique" from the beginning, it would only take five years.

This is just the influence of the technique.

There must be more other influences and variables.

Maybe someone could just spend a year or even a few months to match what he spent twenty-five or twenty-six years on.

After a brief surprise after the breakthrough, Song Yan calmed down again. After a brief analysis, he thought of the deep scheming of servants like Wang Susu, and of those servants who lost their lives for various reasons, and he became more cautious.

In the Demon Sect, life is very cheap.

People die every day.

Once dead, dead.

"There are many dangers and unknowns here. If you want to survive, you have to learn more about this environment. Once you have a clear understanding, we can talk about the rest."

Song Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Yao who had returned to his seat opposite him and was working hard on leather making, and also picked up the carving knife.

Today, he decided to carve two pieces of skin, one tomorrow, and two the day after tomorrow. This way, they would not be conspicuous.

Once he has collected 30 skins, he will have 1 contribution point. When he uses the contribution point, he will be able to come into contact with new environments and learn more information.

That night
There was no moonlight, and the autumn rain fell on the mountains, filling the mountains and valleys in an instant.
In the suspended room, after the six blankets were pulled up, it was pitch black. Even though the Demon Sect had some lighting equipment, it was beyond the reach of a new servant.

While on guard, Song Yan moved slightly and made some noise, and Qi Yao's nervous and vigilant voice immediately came from the bed.

"What are you going to do?"

"itch."

"Where is it itchy?"

"leg."

"Where are the legs?"

"."

"Song Yan, let me tell you, you have read "The Art of Guiding Mysterious Energy", and so have I. What you know, I also know, so don't even think about sucking my Yin Yuan!"

"So you don't want to absorb my Yang Yuan?"

"No!" Qi Yao answered decisively, and then added, "But I know this is your only chance.

There are no black stones or elixirs on this isolated cliff, and the disciples who missed out must only have low-quality black roots.

In this case, if one wants to cultivate a ray of mysterious energy within a year, one can only rely on dual cultivation, and can only rely on absorbing Yin Yuan and Yang Yuan.

That's what the Demon Sect is like.

However, I never thought that you could successfully absorb the "Xuan Qi Guiding Technique" in the jade slip. After all, there are not many low-quality Xuan roots among the servants."

The heroic girl sighed softly, and then said, "Tomorrow, you should move out and find a woman who doesn't have the aptitude for Xuangen to live with."

Song Yan said: "What about you?"

Qi Yao said coldly: "I live alone."

In the darkness, Song Yan narrowed his eyes and moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he swallowed his words back.

Although he and Qi Yao had lived in the same room for a few days and got along well with each other, how much did he know about Qi Yao?

Qi Yao's behavior obviously made him feel weird.

No.

It's not weird, but inharmonious, inharmonious with the identity of a menial servant.

A servant couldn't even protect his own life, so he would never think "the demon sect is hateful", nor would he know so much about the knowledge of Xuangen, especially the ghost Xuangen. It is even more impossible for him to absorb the "Xuanqi Guiding Technique" smoothly. Her calm attitude seemed to be as if she knew from the beginning that she could succeed.

Qi Yao has a secret.

He also has it. It is a taboo to talk about deep things with someone you just met.

He would never commit such a taboo just because the other person is beautiful.

It would be better if we parted ways.

So, Song Yan reminded her gently: "Sister Qi, you are a good person. But you'd better not live alone. See if there is anyone else."

Qi Yao said nothing.

The two of them were silent all night. At dawn the next day, the rain stopped, and after a while, it was daybreak. After they walked out of the hanging room, they were like strangers, no longer looking at each other, and they didn't sit together in the leather workshop.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk
Song Yan lowered his head and carefully scraped the animal skin on the stone platform.

When one reaches the first level of Lian Xuan, the mysterious energy will meander through the body like a small stream, warming the flesh and blood.

He was much stronger than before, and he no longer felt any pain in his wrists and fingers when he wielded the knife.

However, he did not act easily and quickly, but was the same as yesterday.

After shaving for a while, he blew away the remaining hair. Just as he was about to proceed to the next step, he saw a tall girl walking quickly from a distance. As she was walking, a man behind her noticed her belatedly and quickly stood up and chased after her.

The tall girl quickened her pace, and the man followed closely.

The girl started running, and the man was stunned, then he also suddenly sped up.

The girl screamed and ran to Song Yan's side at the speed of a sprint for her life, then sat down. The man was stunned and glanced at Song Yan, but did not dare to approach.

The girl had a very quiet temperament, and looked somewhat well-educated. She had a delicate face and a plump butt. She did not look like someone who would have to work hard in the wind and frost. It seemed that her family had quite a bit of spare money before she was abducted here.

Song Yan had some impression of this girl. She was a new servant who came here with him.

At this moment, the girl panted and looked at Song Yan pitifully, and asked nervously and expectantly: "Brother Song, are you alone now?"

Song Yan said: "Yes."

The girl quickly picked up the black wooden sign for the errand boy and showed it hastily. It showed: Qiu Lianyue, errand boy, shadow puppet 517.

"Brother Song, I want to be with you." The girl named Qiu Lianyue said anxiously, "I'm still a virgin, I haven't let other men touch me."

Song Yan said: "Why are you looking for me?"

Qiu Lianyue said, "Yesterday, among the more than one hundred people, only five were able to successfully absorb the skills in the jade slip. Brother Song, you are one of them. You may become a formal disciple of Shadow Play Peak in the future. I... I don't have the qualifications, so I want to follow you."

She clenched her hands and her body trembled slightly.

Song Yan nodded.

He really needed a woman, otherwise he would not be able to explain "why he could successfully guide the mysterious energy" a year later.

Qiu Lianyue completely relaxed, and the other man standing next to her stopped staring and hurried away.

Having the qualifications to become a formal disciple is something that these servants cannot compare to. In terms of status, the former is already higher.

Even if someone has committed a crime, formal disciples will not care who is right or wrong, and will directly favor those who have the potential to become formal disciples.

Qiu Lianyue originally lived in the same room with him, but in the room, he tried to take her body several times, but he couldn't even get close to her. She took a sharp stone taken from the cliff and used it as a dagger, pointing it at him and refusing to let him touch her.

Before, he thought that this woman might be quite chaste, but now it seems that this woman who wouldn't let him touch her is actively seeking other men's help. This woman just wants to use her body to gain support.

When they walked away, the man cursed "bitch" under his breath.

Song Yan naturally understood Qiu Lianyue's thoughts, and he also found it funny.

This is why he actually doesn't need to practice dual cultivation. If it were someone else, wouldn't this girl be a fat sheep walking onto her doorstep, courting her own death?

But was this girl wrong?

No, she had already made what she thought was the best choice, it was just a lack of information.

Song Yan secretly sighed in his heart.

The girl didn't see the information clearly and made a wrong judgment, so it's natural that he could do the same.

The key to survival is to see more, listen more, learn more, keep more cards hidden, and make fewer decisions.

Seeing that Qiu Lianyue was still in a state of trembling and emotional ups and downs, Song Yan said, "Do it, don't delay the progress of today's shadow puppetry."

Qiu Lianyue smiled sweetly, then took a deep breath as if she had survived a disaster, took the animal skin and scraper, sat opposite Yu Songyan, and started scraping it again and again.
