chapter 8 girl's birthday

"There are actually Liuyin Jue corpses haunting Guimu Ridge..."

"So, there must be a Yin evil spirit vein buried in that place!"

"Only in this way can the ghosts on the Ghost Mother Ridge undergo a 'zombie transformation' and transform into a six-yin corpse."

"In the wilderness of Jiuzhou, Yinsha spiritual veins are rare and common, but in the Zhou Dynasty where spiritual energy is scarce, it is already a rarity..."

Ethan Knapp thought as he walked along the Dacang River towards Guangling City.

"The third level of martial arts is to nourish the furnace. Using the 'Yin Sha Spiritual Veins' to temper the five internal organs can have a wonderful effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."

"In addition, there are Liuyin Grass and Jiyang Flower on the Ghost Mother Peak, which are also treasures for cultivating the Furnace Realm."

"When I reach the level of blood-moving realm, I will go for a walk."

Ethan Knapp made a decision.

He also gained a lot from his chance encounter with Kendrick Carter and Sabrina.

Ten thousand taels of silver was enough for him to purchase various medicinal materials needed for body tempering.

At the same time, some extremely valuable information related to the Ghost Mother Peak was also deduced.

For example, the Yin evil spirit vein!

When Ethan Knapp arrived at the gate of Guangling City, he saw a forbidden army stationed there.

Wearing strong armor and holding strong, capable and capable of killing.

In front of the Forbidden Army, there were a group of important figures waiting there. They all had extraordinary bearings and had obviously been in high positions for a long time. They were far from being comparable to ordinary martial arts figures.

This kind of luxurious lineup is extremely rare in Guangling City.

The people coming and going near the city gate were all in awe and curiosity as they passed by.

"The City Lord and his 'City Lord's Palace Forbidden Army' have all been dispatched. What are they going to do?"

There was a lot of discussion.

"It turned out to be the city lord Lysander Edith and his imperial guards..."

Although Ethan Knapp was a little curious, he was too lazy to inquire and went straight into the city gate.

Faintly, the chatter and laughter of the big shots could be heard from behind——

"Look, isn't that the Alice family's son-in-law Ethan Knapp? He used to be the outer swordsman of the Qinghe Sword Mansion, a young prodigy."

"It's such a pity."

"In my opinion, it's a pity that Medusa Alice is the right one. That girl's martial arts talent is so strong that she has never seen before in her life. What's rare is that her appearance is one of a million, but she married this Ethan Knapp. How unfortunate. "

…

Ethan Knapp smiled and didn't care, and his figure quickly disappeared into the bustling street.

soon.

The figures of Kendrick Carter and Sabrina appeared far outside the city gate.

"Lysander Edith, a humble official, meets the old marquis and the princess!"

Almost immediately, Guangling City Lord Lysander Edith looked solemn, stepped forward and bowed in greeting, his voice shaking the sky.

"See the old marquis, see the princess!"

The dignitaries behind Lysander Edith, as well as the elite and fierce Imperial Guards, were all shocked and saluted in unison.

Inside and outside the city gate, there was a sudden silence, a solemn silence,

All the people coming and going were frightened and as silent as cicadas.

Not far away, Kendrick Carter clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes opened and closed, and he inadvertently showed a great majesty, which is the demeanor of a person who has been in power for a long time.

Looking at Sabrina again, she has a tall and slender figure standing upright, and her elegant and elegant oval face carries an aura of reserve and nobility that would repel people thousands of miles away.

"Lysander Edith, I am no longer the Marquis. Let everyone else step aside and stop disturbing the people!"

Kendrick Carter frowned.

"yes!"

City Lord Fu Shan responded respectfully and then waved his hand.

Immediately, all the nearby dignitaries and imperial guards took the order and left without any delay.

"uncle Lysander, please take the medicine according to this prescription. Remember, it is enough for seven days. Also, prepare a quiet room for me and grandpa where we will not be disturbed."

Sabrina stepped forward and handed over a prescription.

"In this humble position, I will obey the orders of the princess!"

City Lord Lysander Edith solemnly saluted with clasped fists.

Kendrick Carter nodded, without saying anything more, and walked toward the city gate with Sabrina.

Lysander Edith quickly followed him.

It wasn't until they all left that the people near the city gate seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they started talking enthusiastically.

Lysander Edith is the lord of Guangling City. He holds great power and covers the sky with one hand. Even the heads of the three major clans in Guangling must show courtesy.

But now, he is respectful to the old and the young and obeys his advice!

This opened the eyes of all the people, and they began to speculate on the identities of Kendrick Carter and Sabrina.

…

the Alice family.

In the room, Ethan Knapp was sitting in the bathtub.

His eyes were closed, and between his exhalations and inhalations, there were faint wisps of white air lingering, like a snake hesitating, with a strange rhythm.

This is the breath-taking method of "Songhe Body Strengthening Technique".

In the bathtub, there is a decoction of medicinal soup, which is made from more than fifty kinds of medicinal herbs and has been boiled for two hours.

These herbs are not "miraculous medicines" in the eyes of practitioners, but each one is extremely expensive, with a total value of five hundred taels!

For ordinary people in Guangling City, their annual expenses are only a dozen taels of silver.

This comparison shows what it means to be "poor in culture and rich in military affairs"!

Only rich people are qualified to practice martial arts.

Even if ordinary people want to practice, they can't afford the expenses required for martial arts training.

As one of the three major clans in Guangling City, the Alice family claims to have thousands of members, but only a small number of them are truly qualified to practice martial arts since childhood.

There is no way, practicing martial arts is too expensive!

Ordinary warriors need to take various tonics every day to meet their body's needs, and they need to buy various medicinal herbs to assist their practice. Even if they enter a school to practice, they have to pay a hefty fee.

Ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

This situation was common throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

Time passes, and the sun's shadow sets in the west.

Su Yi meditated for three hours, when suddenly two straight streams of air spurted out from the end of his nose.

The air flow is like an arrow, shooting three feet, and the air is like being cut, producing a dull sound like wind and thunder.

Breathing in and out is like practicing, the wind and thunder are roaring!

This is the characteristic of the Qi movement throughout the body when it reaches boiling point.

At this time, Ethan Knapp opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed through his deep pupils, like sharp lightning, which took a long time to dissipate.

"This morning I practiced by inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the banks of the Dacang River outside the city. I took a medicinal bath to temper my body at noon. In less than a day, my foundation in the early stages of the blood-moving realm has been completely solidified..."

Ethan Knapp got up from the bathtub, put on clothes, and went straight to the courtyard.

The setting sun sets.

The jujube trees in the courtyard cast a soft light.

Ethan Knapp stood firm, feeling the full power of qi and blood in his body. Suddenly he thrust out a finger and pierced a branch of the jujube tree next to him like a sword.

Snapped!

The branches shattered inch by inch and turned into powder.

Miraculously, the green leaves on the branches are flying intact.

Ethan Knapp put away her fingers and nodded secretly.

In the initial stage of martial arts, what is tempered is the body and blood, and when used in battle, it is reflected in the control of strength.

The powerful warrior stabbed the dates on the tree with his spear, one at a time.

There are flies on the thorn wall, and the flies fall off without leaving a trace on the wall.

This is the exquisite use of power.

This was the power of Ethan Knapp's stabbing finger before.

It looks ordinary, but in fact it moves like a bow and explodes like thunder!

And the power of that finger, while crushing the branches of the mulberry tree, left the more fragile mulberry leaves intact.

Such subtle use of power is truly superb.

However, compared to the magical power of his previous life that divided the sea with one finger and broke the mountain with the wave of his sleeve, this skill is only a minor skill.

In the next few days, Su Yi went to practice on the banks of the Dacang River outside the city in the morning, and took a medicinal bath to temper his body in the afternoon. His strength was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

During this period, sister-in Drusilla Alice returned to Songyun Sword Mansion to practice.

When leaving, she specifically reminded Ethan Knapp that her sixteenth birthday would be in a few days, and she hoped that Ethan Knapp would also attend.

Ethan Knapp agreed without hesitation.

"The initial stage of blood moving realm is complete!"

That morning, after Ethan Knapp returned home from the Dacang River outside the city, he felt the changes in his body and could not help but feel a satisfied smile on his lips.

The Songhe body-building technique is worthy of being the number one foundation-building technique in the wilderness of Kyushu!

After mastering its essence and secrets, he underwent a complete transformation in just five days, building the strongest and most solid foundation in one fell swoop!

It was even better than the same realm in his previous life!

"With my current physical strength, it is far beyond the ordinary blood-moving characters..."

Ethan Knapp has the memories and experiences of the past seventeen years in this life. After a brief comparison, one thing is certain——

Even the top disciple in the Qinghe Sword Mansion who has reached the perfect level of blood moving realm will definitely lose if he meets him!

After all, the blood-moving realm is only the first realm of martial arts. It trains physical strength. Although it is far stronger than ordinary people, it is still within the scope of "mundane" after all.

In the wilderness of Jiuzhou, the four realms of martial arts are also called the "transformation realm", which means the four realms of transformation from ordinary people.

Only by truly breaking through from the four realms of martial arts and entering the path of "Yuan Dao" cultivation can one be called an innate monk!

By that time, eating rosy clouds and drinking dew, living without grains and not eating, will be qualitatively different from "ordinary people".

What's more, in a real battle, the competition is not just cultivation, but also martial arts!

And based on Ethan Knapp's combat experience and methods in his previous life, even if he had no cultivation at all, he could kill a small character like the Blood Moving Realm in minutes.

"In just five days, it only cost 2,500 taels of silver. This is just the beginning..."

"It can be foreseen that the medicinal materials required for cultivation in the future are destined to double and skyrocket, and the money spent will also rise accordingly."

"In the final analysis, in the cultivation of the four realms of martial arts, you must consider making money for a long time."

Ethan Knapp secretly said.

The Dharma ground of a wealthy couple is the key to spiritual practice.

And the word "wealth" ranks first!

Ethan Knapp knew very well that in the future, as his Taoism gets higher and higher, the "wealth" he needs will become more and more amazing.

Of course, for practitioners, "wealth" is not just gold and silver, but refers to all resources for cultivation.

Such as elixirs, spiritual materials, sacred treasures, elixirs, etc.

"Well, if you can join a cultivation force to practice, you don't have to worry about these money and things..."

Thinking of this, Su Yi shook his head and gave up the idea.

He has not yet considered leaving Guangling City.

While thinking about it, Ethan Knapp had returned to the Alice family.

From a distance, I saw a beautiful figure standing in front of my courtyard door.

Drusilla Alice.

The girl was dressed up, wearing a deep purple dress, with her black hair tied up in a bun, revealing a delicate and exquisite little face, with bright and clear eyes like stars.

She clasped her little hands behind her back and stood there pretty, with picturesque eyebrows and bright eyes.

"Brother-in-law."

Seeing Ethan Knapp from a distance, Drusilla Alice suddenly smiled and waved happily.

At that moment, the beautiful aura exuding from the girl's body made people feel like the sun was dimming.

"Aren't you in school? Why are you back again?"

Ethan Knapp greeted him with a smile.

"Today is my birthday!"

Drusilla Alice smiled and said, "I have already booked a banquet at Juxian Tower in the city. Some of my classmates are also there. Let's go there quickly."

With that said, she took Ethan Knapp's arm affectionately and walked towards the outside.

Ethan Knapp felt a little ashamed in his heart.

These days I have only been focusing on cultivation, but I have forgotten this, which is really not the case.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the girl next to him. Her beautiful eyes were full of hope, and she was pretty and bright. She didn't mean to blame him at all.

But the more this happened, the more Ethan Knapp felt a little sorry.

After thinking about it, he finally decided——

Give your girl a different birthday gift.
