Chapter 19 Sitting on the Mountain and the First Hunt
The true meaning of painting and painting is to pursue a means of creation originating from human beings and transcend human beings. The master's mind and ability can be seen from it.
But putting aside this secret method, other methods of practicing the way of life may also rely on live experiments, just like Master Lei, who is also using sword cultivators to practice martial arts.
Most of the sword cultivators and sorcerers are hostile to the Yan people, believing that they do not care about production, ignore people's livelihood, and only for personal transcendence.
These are the sources of disputes between Taoism and good and evil.
Li Chen looked at Shi Jia in front of him for a long time, but finally shook his head, not thinking so much, but continued to practice his skills.
This time, he used the outer skin of large animals such as cowhide to put a layer of painted skin on it.
Since the materials used to draw are ordinary animals, there is no means to inject magic power into it, and special effects such as nourishing the energy and enhancing defense are not to be thought of.
But Li Chen still did very seriously. He took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the skin characteristics of human-shaped puppets, so as to lay a solid foundation for truly creating a painted skin that can operate Gangyuan in the future.
His goal is to imitate human skin with cowhide and achieve vivid results.
If you can put it on the armored warrior and make others mistakenly think it is true, it is successful. Perhaps it will have a different purpose when you go to the world in the future.
...
Li Chen has been staying in this house, almost devoted himself to studying it day and night.
Before we knew it, it was late March.
Li Chen went to the lobby in front of the inn again, ordered three kilograms of barbecue and a bowl of fragrant soup, and also called Xiaoer and a plate of green vegetables. He saw the shopkeeper who was settled the accounts and took off the vermicelli from the wall behind him, and said with a little emotion: "Lao Huang and the others have not come back until now, and the house money has not been settled."
A guest said, "Didn't you hunt rare beasts outside and run to another city?"
Another smiled and said, "You are really a different person. You charge us your house money in advance like a death-seeking ghost every day. How could you let Lao Huang and the others owe it?"
The shopkeeper said annoyedly: "Isn't it the house price for the past few days? They paid the house until March 18th. I thought that the business was finally settled and I couldn't break it for one day, so I didn't expect it to have been several days."
"Come on, you are a broken store. I have never seen you for so long. Who else can I leave it for?" The guest who spoke before said smiled.
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "That's the case, but when we open the door to do business, we can't break the rules."
The guest was too lazy to argue with him, so he ate the beans and ate the wine.
A human-shaped combat puppet was wearing a coat, cloth bag and head, sitting next to her like a real person to help peel the shell. It was obviously a two-point purpose, and she didn't forget to hone her acting method when drinking.
The shopkeeper curled his lips, lowered his head, and flipped through the account book with a sad look on his face.
It was the 23rd again, and Li Chen was still having a meal in this lobby. When he heard the shopkeeper sigh: "It's been broken for five days..."
Another day, he continued to lament: "I haven't paid the house in six days."
After that, I never heard the shopkeeper mention this group of people with the customers in the store.
People in the world come and go, and there will always be guests leaving, and the rooms will be cleared out, and new guests will always come. Perhaps the shopkeeper arranged the rooms of Huang Yuan'an and others to the new guests.
Li Chen didn't bother to think about them at this time, because he had a lot of experience in practicing shading and painting recently, and he realized that he was growing rapidly, but suddenly realized that he was just sitting in vain and had no money left.
"It's really like a flow of money. I spent almost all my savings on buying skins and eating and drinking these days. Although the biggest cost in this month is still on the parts of the machine beast, the transformation of rings and the making of rotary discs, the cost of practicing shaping and painting skins has unknowingly reached thousands."
In the past few days, Li Chen has bought a large amount of animal skins, and also various spiritual materials and potions that can benefit the vitality and restore magic power, and unknowingly spent thousands of talismans.
Although these things will not be consumed in a short period of time, thinking about it, in the future, it may involve purchasing the monster skin, and the expenses will only be greater, and he can no longer take it lightly.
Learning arts and growing up is indeed a very costly thing, and these can be regarded as the resources required for cultivation.
"It seems that we have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
"It just happened that in the past few days, I heard that the demon tide was surging, and even the suburbs of the city were starting to appear in various wild animals. Why not take advantage of the weather and try your luck out of the city?"
Li Chenjing was extremely moved, and she had already made preparations before, so she just walked away and ran away from her own way to a barren mountain five miles away from the outskirts of the city.
Next to the road, Li Chen jumped off the back of the beast-toothed tiger in the mechanism, looked at the flat road of the road and the berths piled with earth and stones on both sides, and then looked at the wasteland full of weeds and thorns outside the berth, and couldn't help but think.
Dongshengzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and all major cities and markets are connected by roads. Such traffic flows are endless.
This road connecting the human strongholds in all sides is the lifeblood of the connection and exchanges between cities and towns, and represents the hub of the entire civilization. If there is no road, the human strongholds in the wilderness will be just an isolated island in the sea and will sooner or later be defeated by the wilderness.
You can see wild forests everywhere here. Looking around, giant trees stand tall. The deep mountains and forests where spiritual energy is accumulated, the thicker miasma and clouds are shrouded in. Various long-distance communication methods and remote sensing technologies will fail.
Therefore, even if Li Chen made up his mind to embark on the road of hunting demons, he would not dare to rashly penetrate these mountains and forests for a while.
With his current experience and strength, it is very likely that he will not be able to get out if he goes in.
But Li Chen also knew one thing, that is, close to Chidao, which can ensure safety.
"There is still a safe place near the Chidao, because this kind of thing was built at a high cost by cities and the Chuangshi Sect to maintain rule."
"Most of the Chidao choose to build natural places with thin spiritual energy. The road surface is not ordinary earth and stone, but the magic array base, which has the opposite effect to the spiritual gathering array, and can drive out various spiritual energy and evil spirits. Over the years, plants and trees do not grow and thorns do not grow. Most monsters and monsters do not like to reproduce near such places."
"This also leads to the fact that the nearby ones are basically weak monsters and monsters forced to survive in a place with thin spiritual energy, and even ordinary beasts without extraordinary power at all."
Stop and stare for a while, Li Chen stretched out his arm, slightly hooked his knuckles, and a buzzing sound came out of thin air while the mana was circulating.
