Cosmic Demon

Chapter 26: Tigers and leopards hide in the mountains, and unicorns are buried in the fields

"You have to think clearly."

Lao Liang slowly opened the 300 ml bottle of Golden Daigo, scooped it out with a spoon, placed it on a tray and roasted it with an alcohol lamp.

The golden colloid melts little by little, sizzling, forming a viscous juice that exudes a rich aroma.

"It's quite weird!"

Qin Shi's nose twitched and he was suddenly shocked.

The slight feeling of heat that you usually have to stand still and exert force to feel suddenly appeared.

"Golden Daigo is an old martial arts secret medicine, a hot-selling product in the Tianzhu Autonomous Region. The three-eyed crocodile was once hunted and killed and became a protected species. Fortunately, artificial breeding technology was developed to prevent it from becoming extinct. But the price is still high."

Lao Liang smiled. He had tried it when he was young. It hurt so much that he cried for his parents, as if a layer of skin was being peeled off alive.

"This thing has obvious side effects, and later when the new martial arts school came to power, it was listed as a banned drug. It burns the human skin and causes sharp pain to the nerves, and can even cause people to self-harm.

If you follow Lao Gu's advice, I'm afraid you won't make it."

"What's the benefit?"

Qin Shi asked directly.

In his past and present lives, he was not afraid of hardship, but was only worried that his efforts would not be rewarded.

"Tendons are distributed around the limbs and hundreds of joints, connecting and binding them. In old martial arts, there is a saying that 'if the tendons are one inch longer, the strength is one hundred kilograms'.

First of all, your strength, physical fitness, and reaction ability can be greatly improved.

Secondly, it can help you break through the tendon barrier, enter the first limit, and allow the vitality to concentrate and feed back to the body.

Simply put, it will increase your vitality by two or three points, and if you absorb it well, it may be four or five points."

Lao Liang told the truth. He knew in his heart what his new apprentice would choose.

Most of the children of workers in Jiuchang Street are tenacious and dare to fight and struggle.

The Qin Dynasty was the best among them.

That strong desire hidden in the heart for change.

Particularly outstanding!

"Then do it!"

As expected, when Qin Shi heard that his vitality had increased so greatly, his eyes almost lit up.

He is currently at around nine points. If he can add two or three points, he will directly reach the passing line of amateur level nine.

If I push on a little bit, there's a good chance I'll be promoted to the eighth dan before school starts.

Even if placed in an elite class, he would be an outstanding student!
"If my master saw your character, he would have to praise you for your strong and profound character.

He likes this kind of temperament the most. He only cares about success or failure, not whether he can or cannot do it.

I was often scolded by him in the past, saying that I was at a loss and indecisive when faced with problems. "

Lao Liang nodded. Anyway, he was there to protect Qin Shi. When Qin Shi couldn't bear it anymore, he would stop.

"Get ready, take a bath, and wait until this bottle of golden essence gets hotter, then we'll start."

……

……

"Sister Hong, is Teacher Liang here again?"

Outside the house, Yan Shuang, who was privately called "long-haired pretty boy" by Qin Shi, asked.

"Well, I didn't ask you this time, so I asked for a room and got some tools."

The big-wavy female manager said as she worked hard:

"Is that handsome boy a student of Teacher Liang? He only brought students to visit once before, and never again. This is really rare!"

Yan Shuang lowered his head and smiled:
"It means that young man has really caught the eye of Teacher Liang."

He sat neatly on the rattan chair, his legs together, looking extremely graceful, and his eyes were calm as he looked towards the room opposite.

……

……

"I'm ready."

Qin Shi took a quick shower, wrapped a towel around his waist, and looked like he had just finished something.

"sit down."

Lao Liang picked up a long spoon with a silver handle and scooped out the golden essence that had been melted by the alcohol lamp. The sticky liquid that had turned into a paste was inexplicably hot.

In fact, the temperature provided by the alcohol lamp is not high, but the old martial arts secret medicine called "Golden Daigo" has special properties. Once heated and boiled, it will boil rapidly.

"If you can't hold on, don't try to be strong."

Lao Liang gave instructions and then carefully painted along Qin Shi's back.

hiss!
The moment the sticky liquid touched his skin, the veins on Qin Shi's forehead twitched violently.

It was like pouring hot glue on my back and sticking tightly to my body surface.

Then wait for it to dry, then tear it hard, pulling off large chunks of bloody flesh.

In just a few seconds, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

"This is too much torture!"

Qin Shi's face was distorted in pain and turned pale.

By the way, I feel that everyone in the old martial arts school is simply perverted.

For such a torturous experience, people are still scrambling to spend money to enjoy it?

"Can you still bear it?"

Lao Liang's voice came from behind.

"Increase. The. Force. Speed!"

Qin Shi answered, and these words seemed to pop out from between his teeth.

"That's cruel. I've managed to get half of my back covered with the golden nectar. I don't know how far I can go." Lao Liang looked at the red and hot muscles on his back, which was subconsciously tensed and squeezed together because of the excessive pain.

Large areas of sticky juice quickly solidified, forming an effect similar to gold paint, gradually occupying one-third of the back.

……

……

Two minutes later, Qin Shi was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound.

Only by breathing in and out continuously can the pain be relieved.

As the golden essence sticks to the skin like paste, the deepest torment affecting the nerves surges.

He was like food being roasted in an oven, or like a piece of meat pressed on a red-hot iron plate without turning over.

I'm totally going to burn out!

When the physical pain exceeds the mental limit, all kinds of inexplicable hallucinations emerge one after another in the subconscious.

"Fire all around... huge explosions... men cursing... women crying..."

Qin Shi was almost fainting, and his brain was about to activate a protective mechanism to relieve him from this inhuman pain.

"No wonder some people use Jindihuo to strengthen their bodies and muscles, but they are prone to self-harm. The body's ability to repair itself cannot keep up with the speed of the secret medicine's damage.

If I sit in the tub and it heats up, the pain will be even worse... I can't bear it. How can I get through it?"

He barely pieced together his fragmented and chaotic consciousness and thought about a solution.

This is a habit developed over many years, treating every trouble as an exam question.

Think about it over and over again until you find the solution.

"Sleep! I can sleep!"

At the moment when the golden essence was all over his back, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Qin Shi’s brain, which was about to faint.

When encountering difficulties, sleeping soundly is the best way for him to solve problems!
【Deep sleep】!
【Muscle memory】!
Dual boot!

"Close your eyes, calm down, relax, and breathe..."

Qin Shi tried his best to get rid of external interference and physical torture.

Trying to fall into deep sleep and fall into dreamland.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The head is lowered, the shoulders are stretched, the straight back is bent forward, and the rapid breathing is slowed down.

In less than ten seconds, he got a good sleep like a baby!

"Fainted? Or dead!"

Lao Liang was shocked.

In his perception, Qin Shi's turbulent and chaotic breath, like a turbulent flow, suddenly calmed down.

Even exuding a very strange kind of peace?

Generally speaking, this is a sign that the elderly person has passed away due to old age.

"No, snoring? Is this kid asleep? How can he sleep?!"

The next moment, Lao Liang heard the faint sound of snoring, as if a kitten was lying in a warm nest, sleeping soundly and peacefully.

"He really fell asleep, but the strands of Qi in his body were still there. A genius, an absolute genius! What kind of a master of martial arts can practice even when he is sleeping..."

Lao Liang suddenly felt that the hard work, diligence and self-awareness that he was most proud of when he was learning from a master were completely insignificant in front of Qin Shi.

It's like a rookie soldier facing off against a military training instructor, and he loses miserably.

"There are tigers and leopards hidden in the mountains, and unicorns buried in the fields! My master told me this, but I still didn't believe it. I thought all the good talents were in the martial arts association, so how could there be a pearl hidden in the ocean that would fall into my hands!"

The smile on Lao Liang's face grew deeper and deeper. He mixed the other half of the golden essence and applied it down along Qin Shi's shoulders, covering his chest, abdomen and waist.

"In this way, we can be more certain about the matter."

……

……

"Are you awake?"

When Qin Shi opened his eyes, he saw Yan Shuang, technician No. 69 of Jinse Impression.

That handsome face filled his vision, and he leaned back in fright, almost falling off the recliner.

"Brother Shuang? How long have I slept?"

Yan Shuang, still wearing a white long-sleeved jacket, opened the curtains, and the sunlight filled the room, so bright that Qin Shi subconsciously covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

"It's the next day, eight o'clock in the morning."

Yan Shuang looked strange:
"Not only did you endure the excruciating pain of the Golden Spirit's body-refining and tendon-burning, but you were also able to keep your mind as calm as water and fall into a deep sleep.

To be honest, I have read so many autobiographies of martial arts masters, but I have never seen anyone write such a plot.

In the future, if you achieve something, remember to spread the word, so that it can become a legendary story."

After becoming the legendary King of Endurance, am I now awarded the title of the legendary Sleepyhead?
Qin Shi looked down and saw that his clothes were already on.

That endless energy filled the body.

He exerted a little force, and the tendons under his skin instantly collapsed and stretched out.
Stretching, jumping, entanglement and twisting.

Like a group of snakes, like a giant python!
In Yan Shuang's eyes, Qin Shi's back was intertwined with extremely thin blue blood vessels, and the muscles supported by the spine were connected from joint to joint, like a vivid tattoo of an angry dragon trapped in a green pond.

"I almost broke through the limit and entered the tendon barrier."

He was amazed, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Qin Shi didn't notice that his attention was all on the monument panel.

A line of text suddenly flashed by.

[Activate Primary Achievement - Overgrowth]
