Watching Dabai fall asleep, Bao Ding got up and walked out of the No. 7 courtyard gate, heading towards the Chief Secretary's Sutra Collection Pavilion.

Anyway, Bao Ding has zero foundation in Qinggong, so he started directly from the first floor.

As a result, it was not until he read the martial arts in the inner area on the second floor that Bao Ding chose an eleventh-level light kung fu martial art called "Cloud Ladder".

"Ladder" requires impacting three meridians on each leg. The effect is that there is a secondary acceleration in the air, just like stepping on a ladder.

Hence the name.

The most commonly used method is to suddenly rise up in the air to make a large-scale dodge; or to suddenly accelerate to advance, retreat or change direction laterally.

The advantage of practicing this light skill is that you only need to impact and penetrate those meridians, and there is no need to complicatedly circulate the true energy between other meridians.

The effect of the "ladder" depends entirely on the purity and strength of the warrior's own true energy.

Back then Qian Er could span a distance of two to three feet in one step, and he used this light skill.

For Bao Ding, this is undoubtedly equivalent to a light martial arts that can be "quickly achieved".

Bao Ding currently doesn't need the advanced Qinggong martial arts that resembles a swimming dragon.

Just unlocking "Ladder" consumes 10,000 vulnerability points, which is obviously a low-level and advanced martial arts.

Bao Ding returned to No. 7 Courtyard and rented a practice room for an hour, specifically for practicing "Cloud Ladder".

Looking inside the Dantian, Bao Ding's Jiuyang Fire Qi has grown from the thickness of chopsticks to the thickness of a finger, and the Qi has become more condensed.

In "Cloud Ladder" Qinggong, it is usually easiest to penetrate the first meridian.

Bao Ding tried it in the practice room, and with one step, the effect of the ladder was equivalent to jumping nearly ten feet in mid-air.

And if he jumped vertically upward, Bao Ding's head would almost hit the roof of the rather spacious practice room.

The most important thing is that "Ladder" currently consumes very little energy and can fully support long-term battles.

Just when Bao Ding was feeling complacent, he discovered that in the following contradictory training, there were more changes in shield and spear attack and defense, especially in footwork.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of practicing self-contradiction.

However, as his eyesight has improved to the level of order words, Bao Ding's efficiency in practicing self-contradiction at this time has actually improved a bit compared to before.

The most obvious thing is that there is no longer only one flaw that can be discovered!

Of course, the changes in footwork for spear and shield shooting are also a good thing in the long run.

After all, the opponents Baoding has encountered so far have not caused him much trouble in terms of light kung fu.

However, this does not mean that we will not encounter it in the future.

After the daily practice, Bao Ding returned to his room.

Dabai glanced at Bao Ding sleepily, turned away, and went back to sleep.

Bao Ding couldn't hide the shock on his face.

The ghostly fire in Da Bai's eyes was clearly brighter than before.

This shows that the soul energy and soul energy that can be contained in the big white crystal stone has increased a bit.

In other words, Dabai's crystal stone may have been upgraded by one or two color levels.

No wonder Xiao Fang ventured into the gray area to pick spiritual tea!

The effect of Nine Fish Spirit Tea is right in front of you.

Bao Ding was just about to clean up and continue his great work of moving mountains, when Lao Pi's lazy voice came from outside the door.

"Ding Zi, come out quickly, we have seen you come back to the house for a long time."

After getting acquainted with the team members, these people really stayed out of the way and often asked Bao Ding to borrow one or two crystal stones or a few soul-condensing pills. Apparently they regarded Bao Ding as someone who made extra money.

Among them, Lao Pi is the thickest one, always saying that he is just one crystal away from the Black Iron Brand.

After borrowing ten Ghost King crystals, Bao Ding couldn't help but ask him one time. He said that there was only one Ghost King crystal missing.

Bao Ding carefully opened the door a crack and stopped talking before saying, "Everyone, I'm a little tight on money recently, so I won't go out."

Outside the house, Lao Pi, Che Jun and other "debtors" winked at Bao Ding.

These people were all wearing regular clothes and were obviously not out on errands.

Lao Pi coughed lightly and said, "I just came back from Guigu. Everyone is not too tight lately, so you don't have to be 'nervous', Dingzi."

"Our brothers are thinking of taking you to the nearby Banri Village."

Bao Ding was stunned for a moment, looked up at the growing dusk outside, and asked, "Why are you going to those places?"

Lao Pi relied on his old man to sell his old man, so he couldn't help but pull Bao Ding and walked out.

Although there are only three majestic cities and one capital city in the Gyeonggi region, hundreds of villages are scattered in this fertile plain area.

Some of these are villages formed by spontaneous settlements, and some are just half-day villages.

One of the reasons for this phenomenon is that land prices and the cost of living are too high, making it impossible for the increasing population to continue to live in the city.

However, it’s impossible for all vegetable fields to be planted in the city, right?

Some workshops, especially weapons making, iron smelting or charcoal making and paper making, are not suitable for urban areas with extremely dense populations.

The other reason is probably less visible.

The three cities of Gyeonggi and the capital all have strict curfew systems, morning bells and evening drums, anti-theft, anti-water leakage, anti-ghost...

However, in order to enrich the nightlife of the powerful and wealthy businessmen, many of the nightclubs and snack markets were simply moved outside the city.

Some dignitaries and wealthy merchants originally owned villages and fields outside the city, but those were not in Banri Village.

In short, some of these villages that came into being are daylight villages that only exist for half a day, or nightlight villages that only exist for half a day.

The villagers of Riguang Village are usually tenant vegetable farmers, small workshops, blacksmiths, charcoal makers and other poor people engaged in so-called despicable industries.

In most luminous villages, there is little daylight.

For example, a casino.

Hearing that Lao Pi finally answered the question and mentioned the casino, Bao Ding then remembered the two assassins who were suspected of being from the Black Dragon Society.

People from the Black Dragon Society appeared in the Gyeonggi area all the way, and even pretended to be individual tea pickers in an attempt to assassinate Baoding in the Ghost Valley to complete the revenge for Shi Jin.

The Chief Photographer is naturally a well-deserved local leader in the Gyeonggi region.

It couldn't be easier for them to understand the background of a casino.

For example, the casino in front of Bao Ding, Lao Pi and others is about to open for business.

Inside and outside the casino, there are many gas lamps and oil lamps hanging on the walls, the light is as bright as day.

Lao Pi and others swaggered in, walked straight to the counter where chips were exchanged, and threw two round objects on the counter.

The items in the bag were placed on the counter, making two muffled sounds.

There was also a foul smell that kept coming out from inside.

The maid at the cash register and exchanging chips was obviously frightened by the aura of Lao Pi and others.

The accountant with a mustache, who had seen big events, waved away the cashier maid, walked up to him, and asked, "Welcome to the Half-day Casino."

"I would like to ask some of our guests, are they playing for big money or small money?"

Gambling was investigated in the Gyeonggi area. Once confirmed, all gambling equipment and gambling funds were confiscated.

Therefore, real money is not available in casinos in the Gyeonggi area.

In these casinos, what is used as gambling capital is what the bookkeeper calls big money or small money.

Big money and small money, to put it bluntly, are just a specific kind of chips.

Big money means that money can be exchanged and deposited at banks in the Gyeonggi region or even at banks across the country.

Small money can only be exchanged and deposited at certain banks.

To put it more bluntly, big money means someone with an official background; small money means someone with a mafia background.

Big money and small money respectively represent the strength of the casino.

As soon as the accountant opened his mouth, he directly asked whether he wanted to play with big money or small money. He was obviously showing off to these new faces: if you want to cause trouble, you have to look around!

Since Lao Pi is deliberately looking for trouble, he will naturally not be deterred.

He untied the bundle unhurriedly, revealing two ferocious human heads.

ah!

The maid exclaimed, covered her face and ran behind the counter.

The warriors watching the scene all had the word "half sky" embroidered on their lapels. Most of them only had silver medals with human characters, and rarely had silver medals with earth characters.

These half-day warriors separated into several people and immediately closed the door first. The rest of them pulled out all kinds of prohibited weapons from hidden compartments in the casino and slowly surrounded them.

Lao Pi chuckled and asked the accountant, whose face had turned a little ugly: "What? You didn't take a closer look at how much these two people are worth?"

"Isn't it true that everything can be mortgaged before coming in?"

The accountant tried to calm down, and first stretched out his hand to signal the half-day warriors not to act rashly, and then turned to look at a framed calligraphy and painting on the wall next to him.
