"...Brother, are you the posthumous son of Youzhou's luck?"
Shang Lubing couldn't help but complain.
Shang Xia discovered that Shang Lubing's personality changed greatly before and after meeting Kou Chongxue.
Before that, perhaps because as a college gentleman, he needed to maintain the dignity of being a teacher, and because he had been in charge of the merit examination department for a long time, he always gave people the impression of being unsmiling and serious.
However, ever since meeting Kou Chongxue, the character of Kou Shanchang's sworn brother has become a little out of character. Even in front of Shang Xia and others, his words are quite unscrupulous.
After Shang Xia heard Shang Lubing's complaints, he actually agreed with it.
Shang Xia didn't know much about fifth-level Gang Qi, but he could tell just from Shang Lubing's tone that these two types of fifth-level Gang Qi were probably considered to be the best among the same levels of Gang Qi.
For Shang Xia, although he has never heard of Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuangang, he has mentioned it from Shang Ke. Shouyang Xuantong itself is a fifth-level spiritual material that can be used to refine divine weapons.
Let alone the so-called "Shouyang Bronze Mother"?
Perhaps it is precisely because of these rare treasures of heaven and earth that are suspected to be of higher quality than fifth-level spiritual materials that they can breed top-notch fifth-level spiritual energy.
Moreover, this fifth-level Gang Qi is the most powerful. Once it is refined by a warrior, its combat power will be greatly increased!
Because of this, Kou Chongxue was able to single-handedly block Cangling Realm's attack from the two realms after advancing to the fifth level, and shocked the inside and outside of Youzhou, so that the ruined Youzhou with only a corner left was not destroyed.
annexed by other states.
"In that case, brother, your Youxue Sword..."
Shang Lubing naturally thought of the origin of the magic weapon in Kou Chongxue's hands.
Over the years, because Kou Chongxue has not mastered the complete fifth-level advancement formula, and because of the need to gather people's hearts, he has never told anyone in detail how he advanced to the martial arts realm. It is Shang Lubing, his sworn brother, who
He also has little knowledge about this matter.
Kou Chongxue nodded and said: "The main material of the Youxue Sword is actually the fifth-level Shouyang Black Copper. With the help of my true life power, the power has been increased by three points out of thin air. It is quite advantageous in the process of competing with others."
As for the Changchun Pure Gang, Shang Xia learned from the conversation between Shang Lubing and Kou Chongxue that the final characteristic of this True Gang is not to improve combat power, but to extend life!
This was the first time that Shang Xia heard a high-level warrior talk about longevity. Only then did he realize that although the warrior was extraordinary, in fact, the nature of his life had not changed much before he advanced to the fourth level.
Twenty years of life.
When a warrior advances to the martial evil realm, the warrior's own life essence will be improved due to the integration of his natal spiritual evil, and he can often live for more than two hundred years without any accident.
This transformation in the nature of life will not change much after a warrior advances to the fifth heaven, but it can extend his lifespan through some means.
Changchun Chun Gang is one of the most rare life-extending items. It can often allow fifth-level warriors to enjoy nearly three hundred years of life and extend their lives by nearly a hundred years!
For a warrior, the longer he lives, the more opportunities he will have to get everything he wants.
Moreover, in addition to the improvement of cultivation, the increase in combat power and the extension of life span, a fifth-level warrior who has the Changchun Pure Gang as his true destiny is more likely to heal after being injured than a warrior of the same level, and it is easier to recover after the source of the Dantian is severely consumed.
"But this is wrong!"
Shang Lubing frowned and said: "Brother, since you have refined Changchun Pure Gang, why has your injury not only not improved during this period of time, but has become more serious?
"
Hearing this, Shang Xia couldn't help but interrupt the flashing thoughts in his mind, and turned his eyes to Kou Chongxue.
At this time, Shang Xia noticed that Kou Chongxue had indeed become much more haggard.
You know, when Shang Xia saw him for the first time, although his eyes occasionally showed signs of fatigue, his whole person looked like an ordinary person.
However, now the headmaster of Tongyou Academy can no longer even hide his fatigue.
While being equally curious about the questions raised by Shang Lubing, Shang Xia could probably guess that the worsening of Kou Chongxue's internal injuries might be related to the previous continuous guidance and promotion of the five of them.
Especially for Shang Xia, whose cultivation level has jumped from the first level to the second level of the Three Talents Realm, and his martial arts will has completed the second transformation. Needless to say, it takes a lot of effort on Kou Chongxue!
Kou Chongxue smiled bitterly and said: "Because I can feel that my injury is not only due to the imbalance of the two natal true gangs, but more importantly, the Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuangang is restraining the Changchun Pure Gang!"
"ah?"
Shang Lubing exclaimed: "The two actually conflict with each other? Didn't you realize it when you refined Changchun Pure Gang into the True Gang of Life?"
Kou Chongxue smiled bitterly and said: "To be precise, Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuangang is restraining Changchun Chungang!"
Kou Chongxue further explained: "I am accumulating the vitality of Changchun year by year, and then refining it into the true life force in one fell swoop after completely transforming it into the life force. I can directly achieve balance in one step. Coupled with the interference of my own origin, it is completely possible.
Avoid Shouyang Copper Mother Yuangang’s restraint on Changchun Chungang.”
Shang Lubing said: "Then you got injured?"
Kou Chongxue smiled bitterly and said: "Yes. This injury not only damaged my Changchun Pure Gang, which directly caused the imbalance of the two true Gangs, but also caused my own origin to be damaged, and I lost the ability to interfere with the Shouyang Bronze Mother Xuan Gang to restrain the Changchun Pure Gang.
ability."
Hearing this, Shang Lubing also sighed and said: "The road to martial arts is vast and has no trace to be found. You have made it to this point on your own without the guidance of anyone before you. You are already called a legend."
Hearing this, Kou Chongxue also sighed and said with a smile: "Yes, if you don't know the martial arts, you will have to encounter this level sooner or later. It is a blessing to be able to reach this point."
Shang Xia listened very carefully to Kou Chongxue's narration from beginning to end.
Although Shang Xia was bold at first and insisted on asking Kou Chongxue about the reason for his injury.
But in fact, it was more like Kou Chongxue was taking the opportunity to tell Shang Lubing, his sworn brother, about his past experiences, otherwise he would not have started from when he advanced to the martial arts realm.
Although the causes and consequences are explained clearly, there are too many redundancies.
Shang Xia didn't understand why Kou Chongxue said so much, but he thought Shang Lubing might understand.
Therefore, Shang Xia seldom interrupted from beginning to end, but listened carefully to Kou Chongxue's story, occasionally asking Shang Lubing, and at the same time, he had his own thoughts about Kou Chongxue's injury.
Although Shang Xia's current cultivation has only reached the realm of three talents, that is to say, the realm of martial arts in this world.
But starting from the Wuyuan realm, Shang Xia had already discovered that the division of martial arts realms in this world had some connection with some of the knowledge he knew from his previous life.
Although this is far-fetched and copied mechanically, the main reason lies in the fact that Shang Xia's own knowledge is shallow, and he only understands superficially and just takes the meaning from the text.
In fact, Shang Xia has not only never had any problems with his own cultivation since he started practicing in Wuyuan Realm, but his cultivation speed can be said to be a thousand miles faster, and his personal strength has improved rapidly.
This is enough to explain the problem.
Based on the things he had in his previous life and continuing to follow the example of cats and tigers, the so-called "Wusha Realm" of the fourth level of martial arts should be called the "Four Symbols Realm", and the fifth level of "Wu Gang Realm" should be called
"Five Elements Realm"...
In this way, if Kou Chongxue's fifth-level cultivation and the two natal souls he refined are viewed according to the principle of invisible mutual generation and mutual restraint, then it is not difficult to understand that instead of being able to recover, his injuries will become worse.
.
The first natal true gang he refined was "Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuan Gang". Just by looking at the literal meaning, you can tell that it should be a Yuan Gang with five elements belonging to gold.
As for the second natal power he refined, "Changchun Pure Gang", just by looking at the birthplace of this primordial power, Shang Xia can probably confirm that it belongs to the five elements of wood.
Among the five elements, metal defeats wood!
The Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuangang itself restrained the Changchun Pure Gang. Originally, when the two true Gangs were completed and Kou Chongxue's own origin was isolated and balanced, the two were able to maintain peace and harmony.
After Kou Chongxue was injured, not only was Changchun Chun Gang damaged, but the origin of his own Dantian was also damaged. The power of balance was broken, and the power that could interfere with balance was weakened.
The direct consequence of this was not only that it was difficult for Kou Chongxue to recover from his internal injuries, but also because of Jin Kemu, Shouyang Tongmu Yuangang instinctively began to suppress or even weaken Changchun Chunang, which may further worsen the injury.
Originally, Changchun Pure Gang had a miraculous effect on the recovery of warriors' injuries. Under the current situation, not only was it difficult to heal injuries, but it also depleted Kou Chongxue's already limited Dantian, eventually forming a vicious cycle.
But at this time, Kou Chongxue was even more showy. After being restrained by Shouyang Bronze Mother Yuangang, he forcibly mobilized Changchun Zhengang to protect the five disciples who drank the Huandao tea, further weakening the path.
The already weak power of his true life force directly caused Kou Chongxue, a fifth-level master, to show signs of fatigue.
After thinking about this, Shang Xia already had some ideas in his mind.
It was at this time that Shang Lubing half-joked and half-sighed: "Boy, I've finished listening to the story. Do you think of any solution?"
Kou Chongxue also looked at Shang Xia with a smile. Obviously, this seemed to be an elder's tolerance for the younger generation's reckless arrogance, but he did not really think that Shang Xia could find any solution to his current predicament.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shang Lubing finished speaking, Shang Xia looked a little thoughtful and said with an extremely serious face: "Maybe it's not impossible!"
Shang Lubing glanced at Kou Chongxue, laughed "haha" twice, and said, "Oh, tell me what method you can use!"
Shang Xia thought for a while and said: "Disciple can think of two ways. One may be able to cure it completely, and the other may only alleviate it."
Even Ge Muchen, the great pharmacist of Tongyou Academy, was helpless with a fifth-level injury. A small third-level warrior, here, brazenly said that not only did he have a solution, he actually had two of them!
If Shang Xia hadn't been a disciple of Tongyou Academy, and if he hadn't had a grandfather who was the deputy mountain chief, Shang Lubing felt that he might have been able to grab him and throw him away.
Kou Chongxue didn't take it seriously, and even smiled with some encouragement, saying: "Speak carefully, don't be afraid of making mistakes, speak out your thoughts boldly."
Shang Xia raised his head and glanced at the two of them, but his expression was unexpectedly calm: "The radical solution is that the mountain chief can now find a Yuangang related to water for refining; and the mitigation method is that the mountain chief can find a water-related Yuangang for refining.
A place with watery veins to rest and regenerate may be able to slow down the restraining power of Shouyang Copper Mother Yuangang on Changchun Chunang."
