Chapter 15 The Price of the Inner Mind(1/2)
"Brother Chu, are you kidding me?"
Li Man scratched his head and looked confused.
"I'm not joking with you! Forget it... let's go, take me to see your mother."
I'm too lazy to explain to a fool like Li Man.
Li Man's mother, Mrs. Jin, was born in a noble family. Although she was not proficient in martial arts, she managed the household well and was intelligent.
"Man'er, didn't you go to patrol the door?"
"Brother Chu is here too?"
In the hall, Mrs. Jin, who was in her early thirties, smiled and asked the two of them to sit down quickly.
"Aunt Jin, you'd better go to Linwucheng for a few days to take shelter. Until Uncle Li comes back safely to find you."
Chu Ren carefully explained the matter.
From what Zhang Captou said before his death yesterday, he had already guessed that Li Long's trip this time would be extremely dangerous.
There is even a possibility of not coming back...
Unless Gu Qiankun gets the stuff from the secret place, even if Li Long comes back, he will end up like Father Chu.
"Brother Chu, are you serious about this?"
After hearing what Chu Ren said, Mrs. Jin, who had just sat down, stood up in shock.
"I'm going to save my father!" Li Man was anxious.
Chu Ren grabbed Li Man and said, "Do you know where they went? Besides, with your strength, going there will only cause chaos."
"Actually, before he set off, he said there might be danger. But I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
"Man'er, go to the inn and make an itinerary to Linwu tomorrow."
Mrs. Jin took a deep breath, looked worried but not panicked, and immediately started making arrangements.
She looked at Chu Ren: "Brother Chu, please come with us, it will be more dangerous if you stay here."
"Aunt Jin, don't worry, I have my own arrangements. You should leave as soon as possible."
Chu Ren shook his head, he couldn't leave now.
First of all, his current strength is enough to save his life in the border town, and secondly, he has to wait until Li Long comes back.
At the very least, we have to wait until Gu Qiankun comes back, and the matter must come to a conclusion.
He couldn't just run away. He had just become a white seal patrol officer and had reached the end of his mental cultivation. He had to plan the next step.
In the afternoon of that day, news came out from the Li family that Mrs. Jin was going back to her natal Linwucheng to visit relatives.
The next day, the Li family said goodbye to their neighbors and left the city in a carriage team.
"This way, even if we break up in the end, we will have nothing to worry about."
Chu Ren also breathed a sigh of relief as Li Man's family, the only one he had anything to do with, left safely.
"It's time to prepare for a retreat."
Starting from this day, Chu Ren began to collect information on several major surrounding counties and cities.
There are three counties closest to Linhai County. Among them, Ziyun County and Longling County are said to have a bad relationship with Linhai County.
This information is very important to him. The Gu family is a giant that covers the sky with only one hand.
If you are an enemy of Gu Qiankun, you must be prepared to leave your hometown and stay away from Linhai.
The snake-tailed snapping turtle returned to the swamp lake and spent about six days eating up all the flesh and blood of the crocodile king and the giant snake king.
The degree of evolution has also been increased from 0% to 2%.
Three days can only increase the clone's progress by about 1%, and half of the flesh is still the giant snake king with blood.
Obviously, the middle-level monsters can no longer satisfy the improvement in the evolution level of his high-level monsters.
"The growth is too little. If this is low-level monster meat, I'm afraid there may not be a 1% growth in a month."
The snapping turtle evolves for the first time and becomes a pet in itself. The progress will be obvious regardless of the meat it eats.
In the second evolution, although I eat monsters of the same realm, I still have the blood of the great monster, and the progress is not bad.
Now the snake-tailed snapping turtle is a high-level monster.
Chu Ren circled the entire swamp lake and couldn't find a third mid-level monster, let alone a high-level monster.
Linhai County is one of the most remote counties to the north of Shu Kingdom, and the border town is the most remote small town in Linhai County.
This remoteness is not only for humans, but also for monsters.
"Wait a few more days and if there's still no movement, go to Daze to see the big demon first."
After finishing a set of ancestral sword skills at home, Chu Ren let out a sigh of relief.
There is no further progress in his mental skills, so he can only devote himself to practicing sword skills.
[Family sword technique progress 9%, current progress: perfect 9%]
With extremely strong energy, combined with the flesh and blood of monsters, and practicing for more than ten hours a day, I finally reached perfection.
In the Jingyuan realm, it is quite good to achieve great achievements with non-entering skills.
Those who can cultivate their skills to the perfect level must have practiced hard for more than several years, and are at least thirty-year-old warriors.
Sometimes it doesn't all depend on hard training. It's not surprising that the soul is weak and the understanding is poor, and it can be stuck at the pass for months or years.
How can there be anyone like Chu Ren, whose soul, body, and energy far exceed those of his peers, and who can still consume the flesh of an intermediate level monster beast that sheds bones every day?
His current state is like a body-tempering master practicing low-level skills, and his speed is naturally extremely fast.
"Zhang Captou has not been seen for so many days, which means that the patrolling sect leader is not here, otherwise the city would have been in trouble."
After washing up and leaving the small courtyard, he came to the patrol gate at Dianmao as usual.
The patrol patrol is relatively free. If you don't have a mission, you can just patrol every day. It's okay if you don't come occasionally.
Patrolling is not like a police officer. It relies more on consciousness and is driven by contribution value.
After finishing the order, Chu Ren came to the Gongfa Pavilion.
"Inspector Chu, do you want to redeem your skills?"
The patrolman on duty nodded when he saw the visitor.
"How can I make so many contributions? Let's take a look first and set a goal for myself."
Chu Ren smiled and shook his head.
"Then take a look, the catalogs are all here. Even if you really want to exchange them, most of them have to go to the county town to pick up the goods."
The patrolman on duty threw a pamphlet to Chu Ren.
In a small place like Border Town, the Kung Fu Pavilion can only contain some low-level Kung Fu that are not of high quality.
For example, the family-inherited mental skills cultivated by Chu Ren are already the best things that border towns can buy. They are among the most advanced skills.
It can be regarded as the accumulation of two generations of father and grandfather.
In fact, there is nothing we can do. Put better skills here. Not to mention the danger, the patrol can hardly afford to redeem them.
Opening the book, it contains various categories including mental methods, exercises, etc.
Kung Fu is divided into physical, physical, attack and special categories.
But what Chu Ren is most concerned about now is his mental state.
Skip the exercises directly, jump to the heart method redemption catalog, and turn directly to the entry-level exercises page.
Forging Fire Heart Technique, low-grade yellow level, with six levels in total, can be practiced to the middle stage of body tempering, and the price is 2,000 contributions.
Aoki Heart Technique, a low-grade yellow grade, has six levels in total and can be practiced to the middle stage of body tempering. The price is 2,500 contributions.
The entire book only contains these two top-grade exercises, and the price alone made his eyes twitch.
"For our border patrol officers, this kind of skill is just a matter of seeing it. You can't afford to change it in a lifetime."
"In our small border town, most of the tasks are white-level tasks, and there are very few green-level tasks. Where can we get so many contributions?"
The patrolman on duty shook his head. He knew the exercises and mental techniques in this booklet by heart.
He knew the exchange price of each skill clearly, but the clearer he became, the less he dared to expect.
An ordinary white-level patrol officer can only accumulate less than 1,000 contributions in a lifetime in a border town.
There is hope for the Green Seal Patrol, but you can't just change your mindset for the rest of your life.
If you don’t learn Kung Fu and ordinary mental skills, how can you practice and be promoted to Green Seal Patrol?
Moreover, the contribution mechanism of the patrol sect is extremely strict, and it is not allowed to be passed on to future generations, and the contribution will be cleared after death.
"For those like Inspector Chu who were born as patrol officers and have family-passed martial arts, there is hope that they can acquire a top-notch mental technique in the future."
Glancing at Chu Ren, who was silent, the patrolman on duty felt a little envious.
