Chapter 139 A small breakthrough
Under the strong opposition of Xiao Menglong, Russell's proposal to "eat only the Ice Soul Beads and not the Ice Grain Beads" was aborted without any accident.
Little Menglong is not really stupid. He wants to eat thigh meat like Bingpozhu, and he also wants to eat mosquito legs like Bingxizhu.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
"Okay, okay, stop howling, I'll eat everything for you!" Russell surrendered helplessly.
The dark dreamland has indeed expanded, but unfortunately, there is no new magical light blooming around the manor.
On the other hand, in the Nether Light River, there would occasionally be a trace of magical light, but it soon returned to calm. It can be seen that there is indeed a treasure in the river, but it is difficult to find this treasure because the flow of the Youguang River in the warm season is too large.
Russell also stopped at several mussel ponds to see if the mussels had given birth to pearls.
However, after looking at it for a long time, the clam pond was also dark, with no light at all.
"Not in a hurry."
Russell comforted himself: "As long as the mussels are still alive, it's fine. Pearls are not so easy to conceive... By the way, are the mussels in the pond still alive? Forget it, I'll call Jimmy the Ribs tomorrow to ask."
After leaving the clam pond, Russell did not stay any longer, but decisively rode the little Dream Dragon and flew beyond the border.
Hooray.
After crossing the border, the front suddenly fell into deathly darkness.
Russell looked back and could see that although the dark dream was dim, it seemed so bright and warm in this world that could be so dark that it could make people mad.
Fortunately, the sword butterfly's light illuminated the way forward, and it was brighter than before.
"Three meters!"
"Haha, the Dark Dream clone has also expanded!"
Russell is particularly happy tonight. This is the joy of harvest: "Before, the sword butterfly and amber worm alone could only illuminate a radius of two meters. Now with the addition of thorn amber worms, it can illuminate a radius of three meters!"
A sphere within the three-meter range is not too big.
But in any case, it is equivalent to the scope of a large living room. Being in this bright area, I feel much more at ease than before.
"Gah!" Xiao Menglong was also happy.
One person, one dragon, one butterfly and one flower, walked forward in the darkness like this, flying to a place far away from the manor's courtyard.
Nothing was gained, but I felt a full sense of accomplishment tonight.
"Gah."
"Okay, let's say goodbye here." Russell waved his hand and everything turned dark.
…
Next day, the last day of August.
Russell continued to wield the stainless steel sword boringly in his sweat, and used the skill of "Yuangguang Sword Technique" that he had practiced for many times.
Suddenly, as the stainless steel sword slashed forward, he felt the fighting spirit surging all over his body, rushing towards his arms like two tides, then all the obstacles in his arms were washed away, and finally rushed into the palms of his hands.
that moment.
Russell had a trance-like feeling, feeling that as long as he pierced the skin on his palm, he would be able to circulate his fighting energy and pour it into the stainless steel sword in his hand.
"call!"
The feeling faded as quickly as it came, and Russell let out a long breath. He knew that this was just an illusion, and he still had a long way to go before he could release his fighting spirit.
But the harvest watered by sweat has already been collected in his arms.
Hold a sword flower.
He stuck the stainless steel sword on the ground, then looked at his hands with joy, feeling the meridians running through his hands, and the fighting spirit running in the meridians, a smile couldn't help but bloom at the corners of his mouth, and fainted.
"I succeeded... I successfully penetrated the main meridians of my arm!"
In mid-April, the seeds of Dou Qi bloomed successfully, brewing Dou Qi and running in the meridians of the trunk. At the end of August, the meridians of both hands were broken through, allowing the main meridians to connect with the meridians of the arms, and the Zhoutian where Dou Qi circulated was successfully expanded.
"This feeling...the feeling of becoming stronger is really good!"
The pain and numbness of wielding the sword thousands of times are no match for the pleasure of getting stronger at this moment. Russell loves this feeling deeply!
"Sir!" Eric noticed the abnormality, quickly stopped practicing, and came over, "What's wrong with your practice?"
"There's a problem? No, no, no, it's not a problem." Russell laughed and said with a hearty laugh, "It was me who penetrated the main meridians of both arms! After more than four months of hard training, hundreds of thousands of sword-swinging Traction, finally penetrated the main meridians of both arms!"
"Congratulations, sir." Eric's eyes lit up and he held his hand in a muffled voice.
The four knight followers, Tom, Jack, John and James, also stopped practicing and came around to flatter him.
"Congratulations, sir, on your success in cultivation!"
"Sir, you are really a genius for penetrating the meridians of your arm in such a short time!"
"The meridians in your arms have been opened. Are you still far away from the Great Zhoutian? Your Excellency will soon be promoted to a Great Knight!"
"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!"
Facing the compliments from his subordinates, Russell smiled proudly, stretched out his hand to press down, and said humbly and sincerely: "Calm down, calm down, it's just a little breakthrough. It doesn't deserve such praise. Treat it with a normal heart."
In fact, this is indeed a bit of a breakthrough.
In addition to the trunk meridians that come with the Little Zhoutian after the seed of Dou Qi blooms, the human body also has the main meridians of the arms, the main meridians of the legs, the main meridians of the neck, the main lumbar meridians, the main meridians of the back, and the most difficult to excavate the main meridians of the head and face. meridians.
After the total of seven main meridians are connected into one, the Dou Qi movement is still only a small Zhoutian.
It is necessary to penetrate more small meridians in the body to form a great circulation route, so as to be promoted to a great knight, and to achieve effects such as releasing fighting energy and enchanting.
In short.
Russell's fighting spirit training still has a long way to go.
Of course.
If he could contract a dragon, he wouldn't need a giant dragon, just a two-legged flying dragon, which would immediately penetrate Russell's meridians, and then his fighting spirit would be covered by dragon breath, making him an incredibly powerful flying dragon knight.
Russell has a giant dragon, but it's a pity that he hasn't reached adulthood...
After a moment of pride, Russell waved his hand to let Tom, Jack and others disperse, and stop flattering him - they were too poorly educated, and they kept repeating the same few lines over and over again, which was really boring.
Ram, the personal servant, handed him a towel, and Russell wiped his sweat.
At this time, the fishmonger Jimmy was also brought over by Old Hans - Old Hans, the chief judge, had nothing to do, so he had more work to do, running errands for the manor villa, after all, he knew most of the serfs in the entire territory.
"Jimmy Pork Ribs, how are the clams in the pond growing?"
"My Lord, of the four clam ponds, only two have a lot of clams surviving, and the clams in the other two are almost dead." Jimmy Pork Ribs replied, "The clams planted with broken clam shells and clay residues are not easy to die, while the others are easy to die."
Broken clam shells, clay residues, gem shavings, and jade powder are the four types of pearl nuclei related to magic selected by Russell.
Experiments have shown that planting gem shavings and jade powder is not good, and almost all the clams died.
The survival rate of planting clay residues and broken clam shells is good, but a large number of clams died, and the remaining part is still alive and well.
"I've opened them all and found that these clams didn't produce pearls. But sir, I saw that there seemed to be very small protrusions on the mantles of several clams where we planted pearl nuclei... I don't know if it's a pearl or a healed scar."
"Touch a few clams and let me see." Russell became interested. Although there was no magic light in the dark dream, it might be that the pearls were too small to emit magic light.
Pork Ribs Jimmy quickly touched a few clams and placed them in a basin of clean water, waiting for the clams to open their shells.
After they opened, Russell looked carefully.
Sure enough, there were slight bulges on the mantle where the pearl nuclei were planted. It looked like pearls were being bred, but there were also scars like healed wounds.
Russell couldn't recognize it even when it was his first time to culture pearls.
So after observing for a while, he waved his hand calmly and said, "We need to continue observing, Jimmy Pork Ribs, put them in the pond... In addition, you can take people to catch a batch of river clams, and then plant broken clam shells and clay residues to raise them in the pond."
"Okay, master."
"Old Hans, you are responsible for arranging what Jimmy Pork Ribs needs. If you need money, you can withdraw it from Butler Morris."
"Old Hans will definitely help the master take care of the river clam farming." Old Hans patted his chest and promised.
At this time, Charles also came to the manor villa with several officials. Russell directly invited everyone to sit in the living room, and then started the meeting to arrange how the manor should be built in the next month or so without him.
