Chapter 13 Red Fruit
Early the next morning, Sun Bing still started the not-so-simple training every day. Although he didn't understand anything, his proficiency with the sword became deeper and his attack speed became faster. Even if it was just a trace, it was huge. progress.
After a whole night of precipitation, Sun Bing now has preliminary control over his own power. The wooden sword he holds can cut through ten falling leaves at the same time, and the hole pierced into the mountain wall is deeper. These all represent Follow Sun Bing's progress.
But with such progress, Sun Bing still frowned, because he knew that blindly practicing behind closed doors would not work. If he continued to practice, he would at most be able to deepen his understanding of swordsmanship.
But now, the basic swordsmanship has been perfected. At least for now, Sun Bing doesn't know how to improve it. As for the "Vertical Sword Technique", he has also achieved a small degree of success, but there is still a bottleneck before it reaches great success. Now he doesn't know how to break through it. What's more, the realm just improved yesterday, and it can't continue to improve now.
Based on this calculation, Sun Bing felt like he didn't know how to become stronger at this moment. After thinking about it, he secretly said: "It's time to go out and sharpen yourself."
After all, "How can plum blossoms smell fragrant without being chilled to the bone?" Even if Sun Bing has practiced all the swordsmanship to perfection, without actual combat experience and advanced enemy-fighting skills, everything is just talk.
When he actually encounters the enemy, he can only exert half or even a quarter of his strength. In this situation, it would be an injustice to die.
However, it is actually quite simple to increase experience against enemies. You only need to leave Luoyun Town. Not far away is the Hengduan Mountains, which contain not only precious treasures of heaven and earth, but also countless monsters.
But you must not underestimate these monsters. Because of the effect of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, they can actively or passively practice to their heart's content, until they finally break through and become monsters. Their combat power is no less than that of humans.
The first level monster is equivalent to the early stage of the body tempering realm, the second level is the middle stage of the body tempering realm, the third level is the late stage of the body tempering realm, and the fourth level monster is equivalent to the monk in the Qi training realm. The legend has developed to the end, the monster beast The ability to transform into humans is divided according to the level of human cultivation. As for what level is required to transform into humans, Sun Bing does not know.
However, there are mainly first to third level monsters in the Hengduan Mountains. Even the fourth level monsters are quite rare. Therefore, it is quite suitable for Sun Bing at this moment. It is neither too dangerous nor too comfortable. If you are lucky enough, there are still Various opportunities will surely bring Sun Bing's swordsmanship to a higher level.
Immediately, Sun Bing held the dark wooden sword, arranged his clothes, packed some luggage, and walked down the mountain.
Passing the entrance of Luoyun Town, you can see pedestrians coming and going, the most important ones are the casual cultivators. This group of people have a very difficult life because they have no disciples. The main source of income is to enter the Hengduan Mountains to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. , or hunting monsters for sale.
However, they are somewhat lacking in strength. Every time they enter the Hengduan Mountains, it is more like a struggle for their lives rather than an experience. This also creates a vicious cycle. The money for their monthly struggles is only enough for daily needs, so there is no Excess resources are used for training.
Therefore, his strength has not been enhanced and he can only survive. This is the sorrow of the weak. Compared with them, Sun Bing is at least a lot lucky. At least the starting point is different from the beginning.
Looking sadly at the casual cultivators coming and going, Sun Bing couldn't help but speed up his steps.
Although the Hengduan Mountains are right next to Luoyun Town, it only took half a day to walk. Looking from a distance, you can see the trees in the mountains. From time to time, a few birds fly by, bringing with them a breeze.
These are not ornamental birds. None of the birds that can survive in the Hengduan Mountains are good. If you ignore them, you will definitely pay the price with your life.
At that moment, Sun Bing couldn't help but become cautious. He held a wooden sword tightly in his hand. You must know that in the Hengduan Mountains, even if a monk at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm comes, there is a certain danger. What's more, you not only need to be wary of monsters, but you also need to pay attention to the same kind. If you don't pay attention, you will die without a whole body.
All the way forward, it's just that the outer reaches of the Hengduan Mountains have already been explored by the casual cultivators from Luoyun Town, so there is no oil or water at all. Instead, three or two low-level monsters pop out from time to time, even in front of Sun Bing. The sword can't stand a single move.
After walking for about an hour, the surrounding environment has changed significantly. The ground has been covered with dead leaves, and there are no traces of human actions at all. No one seems to be here, which not only represents danger, but also symbolizes opportunity.
Sun Bing closed his eyes slightly. This was his first adventure. Although he was excited, as a swordsman, he must remain calm at all times. At the same time, his vigilance was raised to the highest level.
Suddenly, Sun Bing's eyes froze, because he discovered that there was something obviously strange in the valley not far away. A plant stood quietly, but within a radius of one foot, there was no grass growing. As for the grass and trees outside it, there were no plants. Lush.
If Sun Bing hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have noticed the strangeness at all. At that moment, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward. He saw that the plant was about half a person tall, and there was a red fruit growing in it, about the size of a thumb. In an instant, Sun Bing remembered the name of this spiritual creature.
"I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity." Because that fruit was obviously the legendary Zhu fruit, and judging from its growth, it was quite old, at least thirty years old, which was already quite rare in the entire Luoyun Town.
This kind of spiritual fruit has extraordinary effects. One is to improve physical fitness. Even if an ordinary mortal eats one, he can immediately break through to become a cultivator, and directly break through to the third level of the body tempering realm. This alone makes countless people crazy.
As for the second point, it is to increase the true energy in one's body, and the thirty-year-old Zhu fruit can help people save a year of hard training. You can imagine how terrifying it is.
It can be said that the Zhu fruit in front of him is the most suitable spiritual object for Sun Bing at this moment. As long as he can get it, he is 100% sure that he can immediately break through to the peak of the fourth level of the body tempering, and even adjust for two days to reach the fifth level of the body tempering realm.
But the more this time, the more you have to be patient. Sun Bing doesn't think he is the true son of heaven. Although this place is a bit remote, he is not the first person to find this red fruit. He can't help but carefully investigate.
Suddenly, Sun Bing's foot seemed to step on something. Looking down, he saw a white skull under the dead leaves. It looked like it had been there for many years.
At that moment, Sun Bing immediately raised his wooden sword lightly. With the falling leaves flying, a shocking scene appeared on the ground. At least five white bones were piled together. Even though Sun Bing's mental will was quite firm, he took a breath.
"What is the situation here? How come so many people died here?" At the same time, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he was not overwhelmed by the interests in front of him. If he was impulsive just now, I don't know what would happen now?
At the same time, this also sounded a warning bell in Sun Bing's heart. He is far from being invincible now. No matter what situation he faces, he needs to be calm, especially when facing unknown dangers.
"Swoosh"
Accompanied by this sound, Sun Bing, who was squatting on the ground observing the skeleton, seemed to smell something. He held the wooden sword in his right hand and stabbed it backwards without even looking. Then he dodged immediately and saw the culprit who attacked him.
A three-inch long snake had its head and body separated at this moment, and even the snake's body was still jumping. The whole body of this snake was similar to the surrounding environment. Even though it was dead, the color of its body had changed from the original leaf green to the dead leaves on the ground.
"I didn't expect it to be a colorful snake." This kind of snake is only a second-level monster, but it is extremely poisonous. Even if a cultivator in the Qi training realm is bitten without any defense, he will die in the end. It can be imagined that the poison is fierce.
What's more, its hiding skills are quite profound. If it weren't for Sun Bing's amazing insight, he might have been hit today.
