Chapter 99 Inquiry
"I...I lost." Jing Yan looked at the sword he dropped in disbelief.
"Wow! Look! That tiger lady lost!" Someone gloated.
"What, the hall master clearly said that within the ninth rank, Jing Yan should be hard to beat!" Jing Yan's subordinates seemed a little unimaginable, and they were all dumbfounded.
"It's rare to meet an opponent, but it's not like there are no opponents. I think Li Shaoxia is a great master. This journey is safe!" Some people were already on Li Qi's side and applauded.
It is estimated that Jing Yan often takes care of her.
As for Shen Shuibi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although Li Qi is a big idiot, he is still very powerful. As long as he does as he says, even a pig can beat that arrogant woman to pieces.
Hum!
Shen Shuibi put her hands on her hips happily and proudly, with words like "come and praise me" and "come and praise me" all over her face.
It's a pity that Li Qidu didn't look at her, and her proud chest no longer felt like accomplishment.
On the field.
"Promise." Li Qi took back the long knife and took out a roll of cloth, which was the weakness picture drawn by Shen Shuibi last night: "Then, according to the bet, I will offer the weakness that my little sister saw with both hands to help the elder sister. My martial arts skills have improved to a higher level..."
"Wait a minute, Li Qi, you said before... your little sister is actually quite capable, but she is not good at fighting, so she only looks weak, but in fact she can see through my weaknesses." Jing Yan stopped. Li Qi, however, was not in a hurry to get the roll of cloth.
"That's right." Li Qi replied.
Jing Yan nodded, picked up his sword, and sighed: "I didn't lose to you... I lost to your little sister, and my arrogance."
Then, Li Qi saw her put away her sword, walk to Shen Shuibi, knelt down on one knee, and apologized to her with her hands in hand.
Shen Shuibi was at a loss, so Li Qi had to step forward and help her up instead.
"Sister Jing, why are you doing this? We are not saints, and no one can do anything wrong. There is no need." Li Qi helped Jing Yan up and said so.
Jing Yan shook her head: "I have done it, so I have to correct it. I was so arrogant that I almost made a big mistake and almost ruined my own path. Your little sister woke me up. She is my benefactor." "
"Now, with the weaknesses you pointed out, I can better understand how I can improve. It is difficult for me to repay such a great favor. Just thanking you is definitely not enough. I hope you two, brother and sister, can accept this to make up for it. Jing Yan said, taking out a red stone.
Then, she said to Li Qi: "I don't know what your little sister needs, but I see that Li Qi, the tempering of your five internal organs has not been completed. Your heart is weak and cannot bear your qi and blood. It is extremely difficult to transport the qi and blood. The heart attribute Fire, I got this stone by accident. Although I don’t know what it is, I asked an expert and they said it contains a trace of pure fire energy. If you find a Taoist master and extract it to temper your heart, it may be able to help you. make up for this shortcoming.”
"Just like you are making up for my shortcomings." Jing Yan said.
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi looked at each other.
Jing Yan... is too upright.
Things went smoothly after that.
Jing Yan took the volume of weak point diagrams, but did not practice it because she still had a mission and needed to protect the caravan.
As for Li Qi, he naturally had to do something. After all, one gold a day was equivalent to ten thousand dollars a day. This salary was not just free money for him. Naturally, he also needed to protect the caravan with Jing Yan.
As for the other people in the caravan, after seeing the excitement, they went about their own business.
Everything is back on track and peaceful.
There were also some wild beasts attacking on the road, but under the guard of Li Qi and Jing Yan, some of the wild beasts were easily taken care of, and extra meals were given to everyone. The fur and bones were collected by the caravan and treated as cargo.
At the end of the day, during the evening repairs, Li Qize returned to the oxcart with Shen Shuibi.
"Li Qi, Li Qi! This is the essence of a burnt stone!" Shen Shuibi pulled Li Qi, looking very happy.
"What is that?" Li Qi looked at the red stone and couldn't understand.
"The so-called function is beyond question. The stone is successful when it is burned. That is to say, after the stone is burned, it will have its magical effect." Shen Shuibi immediately began to explain.
"Alum appears in the shape of five golden colors, and sulfur is the general of stones, all of which are transformed by fire. Some alchemists know how to burn stones, and use the 'burning' technique to refine the stones. After they are made, it is recorded in ancient books. After being refined by fire, it will never be broken when put into water.' With these properties, burnt stone can be used in many ways."
"Although this stone is not the burnt stone itself, it is the remains of a large number of burnt refining methods gathered together. It is the condensation of the remaining fire energy from the alchemist's refining of countless stones. With this, I can help you Temper the heart, and then all you have left is the spleen." Shen Shuibi said while holding the red stone.
"Is it really useful?" Li Qi picked up the stone and felt it was just a red stone as it was cold.
"Okay! I'll help you temper your heart!" Shen Shuibi began to pull up her sleeves.
"Wait! Don't take off my clothes!" Li Qi panicked.
"How can I use it without taking off my clothes!"
"I will do it myself!"
——————————
The night passed.
Li Qi only felt his heart pounding, extremely strong.
Now, only the spleen is missing, but Shen Shuibi said that this will naturally be tempered after a while.
Because the spleen belongs to earth, it seems useless among the five internal organs, but it can assist the operation of the other four internal organs.
As the earth element, this is something that can participate in the other four internal organs at the same time, just like the earth contains all things.
Gold can be hidden in the ground, water can flow on the ground, trees can grow on the ground, and fire can occur underground.
Correspondingly, the liver generates blood and the spleen stores blood. The yang energy of the heart can be used by the spleen. The spleen transports and transforms the essence of water and grains, which can benefit the lungs. The spleen and kidneys work together to transform water and dampness.
When the other four internal organs are intact, the spleen will naturally become stronger after a period of time.
Therefore, as long as he waits, Li Qi's ninth level will be able to reach the true level of ninth level martial arts in half a year at most.
Feeling all this, Li Qi continued to start the next day's work.
He Jingyan patrolled near the caravan, looking around as he moved forward.
When he passed by someone during a patrol, Li Qi suddenly thought of something and called Jing Yan.
"Respect to elder sister." Li Qi shouted.
"What's the matter?" Jing Yan turned her head, wondering what Li Qi wanted to do.
However, her attitude was still very good. Brother and sister Li Qi were kind to her, and she always remembered their kindness.
"The Jing family is from the Song Kingdom, right?" Li Qi asked.
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Jing Yan didn't know what to say.
"What's the situation in Songguo now?" Li Qi asked again.
He wanted to learn about the situation in Song Kingdom from Jing's family.
Song State was at war with the Tang State and became the bridgehead of the Tang State, a country that confronted Wushen Mountain.
