After hearing that Ning Chen planned to ask them to help arrange formations for Qingshan County.
Yun Xuanzi made an offer on the spot, five million taels, and he had to bring his own materials.
When Ning Chen heard this quotation, his face darkened on the spot: "Senior Yun, are you taking me as the leader?"
Yun Xuanzi complained: "Ning Yuan leader, you don't know that setting up formations is a very difficult task.
Especially the city defense formation, which is a chain within a chain.
No one link can go wrong. If any one link goes wrong, it may cause the entire formation to collapse.
The price I gave you, Ningyuan leader, is definitely not high.
Even if you really go to the Changsheng Taoist Sect, let alone whether the Changsheng Taoist Sect is willing to take action for you.
Even if the Changsheng Dao Sect is really willing to take action, their price is only higher than my offer."
Ning Chen understood what Yun Xuanzi said.
This little old man thinks he can control himself.
I feel that based on my relationship with the Changsheng Taoist Sect, even if I go to find the Changsheng Taoist Sect, the Changsheng Taoist Sect will definitely charge a very high price.
Of course, there may also be something to do with protecting yourself.
But could Ning Chen be easily manipulated by Yun Xuanzi?
"I really didn't expect that setting up the formation would be so expensive." Ning Chen said as if he just knew it.
When Yun Xuanzi heard this, he immediately added: "Chief Ning Yuan, setting up the formation is far more difficult than you think.
The price I quoted you for Ning Yuanshou is definitely a very conscientious price.
After all, it is a county town, and there are too many things that need to be arranged."
Ning Chen nodded and said: "Senior Yun is right. Since this matter is so complicated and the charges are so high.
I actually think that among my hundreds of academies, there should be another formation lineage."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Yun Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Ning Yuan leader, the formation method is different from Alchemy..."
Ning Chen waited for Yun Xuanzi to finish speaking, then said: "Senior Yun is right. But I have never been exposed to alchemy before. So I think if I study the formation carefully, I might gain some insights."
Yun Xuanzi immediately fell silent.
Although he couldn't see Yun Xuanzi's face at this moment, Ning Chen knew that Yun Xuanzi's face at this moment was definitely not good-looking.
Sure enough, after a while, Yun Xuanzi said: "The fee is three million taels."
"I'd better study the secrets of the formation. I think it's better for me to do this myself in the future." Ning Chen ignored Yun Xuanzi's quotation at all.
"Two million taels!" Yun Xuanzi lowered the offer again.
However, Ning Chen still insisted on opening the formation on his own.
"One and a half million taels." Yun Xuanzi continued to lower the price.
However, this time the price was lowered to 500,000 taels. It can be seen that this price has begun to approach Yun Xuanzi's psychological bottom line.
However, there is still a big gap between this and Ning Chen's psychological bottom line.
After more than ten rounds of quotations, Yun Xuanzi finally gave a sincere price.
One hundred and thirty-five thousand taels.
This is the fracture price given by Yun Xuanzi.
Although Ning Chen had to prepare his own materials for setting up this kind of city defense formation.
But when Yun Xuanzi and the others set up the formation, there will definitely be consumption.
This consumption cannot be recouped simply by relying on money.
Therefore, Ning Chen feels that the price is still a bit too high.
After several rounds of bargaining, the price was finally settled at ninety-nine thousand, eight hundred taels.
Ning Chen could clearly hear the aged Yun Xuanzi gritting his teeth at the side.
This shows that the price given by Ning Chen really broke Yun Xuanzi's psychological price.
"I didn't expect that the price and charge for setting up the formation would be so small.
I, Baijia College, should not do such a thing.
It’s better for you, Senior Yun, to do it.
Senior Yun, when will you come to Qingshan County, I will entertain you."
Having already suffered the loss, Yun Xuanzi had no choice but to admit it.
But others must go first and see if they can make up for their losses elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Yun Xuanzi also said to Ning Chen: "I will set off for Qingshan County today."
"Then the junior will be waiting for the senior in Qingshan County."
After confirming that Yun Xuanzi would come to help with this matter, Ning Chen was left with nothing to do.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chen sent a message to Fang Xiong and called Fang Xiong over.
"General Fang, I would like to ask about the fifth level of martial arts." If nothing happens, Ning Chen might as well make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
After all, Qingshan County is no more dangerous than Fengjing, and the source is not certain.
Even if Fang Xiong is protecting him, he still needs to improve in this aspect.
The Confucian cultivation level has just reached the realm of civilization, and he also has Qinglian who is comparable to the fourth-level attack.
For Ning Chen, this is completely sufficient for now.
Furthermore, Confucian cultivation is all about accumulation.
You can't go faster even if you want to.
However, Ning Chen still has a lot of room for improvement in his martial arts cultivation.
Fang Xiong is at the peak of the third level of martial arts, and matters of the fifth level are naturally not a problem for Fang Xiong.
"The fifth level of martial arts is called marrow cleansing. This process is simple to say.
It is to allow Qi and blood to enter the bone marrow,
Completely changes bone marrow morphology,
The blood produced is a mixture of Qi and blood.
In this way, even if you lose your essence and blood during the fight with others.
It will not lead to a rapid decline in strength, and it will be replenished at all times.
This allows you to continuously display the strength that a martial artist should have."
The fifth grade martial artist is just as expected by Ning Chen.
The martial artist's practice model is to constantly tap into one's own potential.
Continuously develop your own strength.
Allow yourself to always maintain a high-output state.
"General Fang, what should we do?" Ning Chen asked.
Fang Xiong took out a book made of animal skin from his storage equipment and threw it to Ning Chen and said: "If you want to follow the steps step by step, just wait for the blood to boil and slowly penetrate into the bones.
If you want to go faster, learn the Marrow Cleansing Technique. This will make the process faster and more thorough.
Both methods are recorded on the hide."
"Is the Realm Breaking Pill feasible?" Ning Chen did not immediately check the content on the animal skin, but turned to Fang Xiong and asked.
"Of course the Realm-Breaking Pill can be used. However, the fifth level achieved by using the Realm-Breaking Pill cannot be regarded as the real fifth level, but can only be regarded as a false fifth level.
And once you use the realm-breaking pill, your martial arts cultivation in this life will be unlikely to break through to the fourth level.
By then, no matter how many realm-breaking pills are accumulated, they will have no effect."
The Breaking Realm Pill also has such side effects, this is the first time Ning Chen knows about it.
"General Fang, why is this?" Ning Chen asked in confusion.
Fang Xiong explained: "Whether it is the first or the second method I give you, it is essentially a complete transformation of bone marrow.
The Breaking Realm Pill forcibly stuffs your current energy and blood directly into your bone marrow.
Use medicinal effects to blend the two together.
If this happens, the bone marrow will become very mixed.
It will be impossible to purify it again in the future.”
After Fang Xiong explained, Ning Chen understood.
Why is this Realm Breaking Pill only useful for those before the third level?
It turns out that the disadvantages of this thing are so obvious.
No wonder the required reputation points are not high.
With such obvious disadvantages, Ning Chen would definitely not choose this.
If you choose this, you will definitely not be able to defeat Bai Yaoyao in the future.
However, Zheng Da had already used a mirror-breaking pill, and Ning Chen didn't know if it would have any effect.
But when he thought about it again, Ning Chen felt that he had been overthinking this matter.
Ning Chen is very aware of Zheng Da's talent.
Coupled with Zheng Da's age, consider it comprehensively.
If he didn't have the Realm-Breaking Pill, he would just rely on Zheng Da's own words.
In this life, he is probably destined to be a seventh-grade man.
If he relies on the Breaking Realm Pill, he may still reach the fourth level.
Ning Chen is completely worried.
No longer thinking about Zheng Da's problem, Ning Chen turned his attention to the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
Glancing at the place where Ning Chen's eyes were locked, Fang Xiong said to Ning Chen: "The practice of the Marrow Cleansing Art still requires a certain amount of understanding. If the understanding is too poor, it may..."
Before Fang Xiong finished speaking, Ning Chen had already started to circulate the energy and blood throughout his body according to the techniques mentioned in the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
Comprehension?
What Ning Chen lacks most is understanding.
Ning Chen's understanding was gained with his life.
What's more, just listen to what martial artists say about understanding, don't take it too seriously.
Fang Xiong saw that Ning Chen had already activated the Marrow Cleansing Technique, and wanted to say something else.
But in the end, he didn't say anything, but sat cross-legged next to him to protect Ning Chen.
After the Marrow Cleansing Technique was activated, the energy and blood in Ning Chen's whole body began to boil.
This is real boiling.
Just for a moment, Ning Chen's whole body turned red like burning charcoal.
The sweat on the body evaporated directly before it could appear.
Ning Chen subconsciously wanted to stop, but found that he couldn't stop at all.
Glancing at Fang Xiong not far away, Ning Chen opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.
Because Ning Chen's vocal cords were completely cooked at this moment.
You probably won’t be able to speak until your cultivation is over.
"I forgot to tell you, once you start the Marrow Cleansing Technique, you can't stop until you reach the fifth level.
And when practicing, it is best to find a place that is extremely cold.
But don’t worry about practicing, I’m here to protect you, and you won’t have any problems.”
Ning Chen really wanted to scold her.
But he couldn't make any sound from his throat at all.
The talent mentioned by Wu Fu may be just talk.
But the recklessness mentioned by the martial artist is really reckless.
This cultivation method is completely "reckless".
If you don't enter the fifth level, you won't stop.
What kind of shortcut is this? This is completely reckless.
It obviously doesn't make much sense to complain about these things now.
Since there was no way to stop, Ning Chen could only win against Mang.
Ning Chen quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, and in an instant, the ground where Ning Chen sat was baked dry.
Then this dry area expanded little by little.
The leaves that came with the wind and floated to Ning Chen's side immediately started to burn before they came into contact with Ning Chen's body.
It can be seen how high Ning Chen's body temperature is at this time.
That is, the body of a martial artist, if replaced by a practitioner of other cultivation systems.
Now it's just a matter of people doing it.
Of course, practitioners of other systems would not be so aggressive.
There is such a terrifying temperature outside the body, and the temperature inside the body is even more conceivable.
Ning Chen is already a warrior with bronze skin and iron bones.
But under such a terrifying internal temperature, the iron bones were burned red and translucent.
The blood-producing marrow contained in the bones began to boil.
Refining.
This is training in the true sense.
According to the current trend, the Marrow Cleansing Technique will not stop boiling the bone marrow in your body thousands of times.
Under Ning Chen's internal vision, the bone marrow quickly turned into gas at such a terrifying temperature.
But because of the limitations of the bones, even if it turns into gas, it cannot escape.
On the contrary, the energy of martial arts is constantly pressed into the bones from the outside world.
The two qi began to merge bit by bit.
This is the true essence of the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
The essence of this is actually very simple and not complicated at all.
Of course, even the martial artist may not be able to understand the complicated meaning.
The essence is not complicated, but it does require constant effort.
Continue until the marrow cleansing is completely completed.
Ning Chen estimated that the current progress of the smelting would probably take at least ten days.
Such a training method is really a bit difficult for Ning Chen.
Fortunately, Fang Xiong is indeed a bit tough, but Guo Xin is not tough.
When Guo Xin came to report to Ning Chen, he discovered this situation.
After asking Fang Xiong, he immediately organized people to transport a lot of ice cubes to Ning Chen.
Although it is already June, where is this place?
This is the northern border, and the northern border is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.
There are many extremely cold places in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, so there is no shortage of ice cubes in the north even in summer.
Tons and tons of ice were transported and surrounded by Ning Chen.
Finally, Ning Chen felt a little more comfortable.
Nine days passed in this way.
Finally, in the early morning of the tenth day, Ning Chen completed the marrow cleansing step.
With the completion of marrow washing, the hematopoietic ability of Ning Chen's bone marrow has also increased dozens of times.
And all newly created blood is directly turned into qi and blood, eliminating the need for fusion steps.
This greatly increased Ning Chen's battery life several times.
At the same time, the attack power is also directly increased by multiple levels.
The current Ning Chen can easily erase the person he was ten days ago dozens of times.
Because the qi and blood produced by the new marrow are in conflict with the boiling qi and blood from the outside world.
The Marrow Cleansing Technique, which was originally flowing endlessly, finally stopped.
This kind of skill mechanism shows how extremely simple Wu Fu’s thoughts are.
After regaining his freedom, Ning Chen quickly covered himself with a new set of clothes.
The previous clothes had long been burned away by the boiling blood.
While practicing, Ning Chen was like a blazing flame because of the steaming energy and blood.
So people outside can't see what's inside. Now that we've stopped practicing, we still need to cover it up a little bit.
"Yes, you can complete the marrow cleansing so quickly, which proves that you have laid a very solid foundation." Fang Xiong saw Ning Chen standing up and nodded.
"General Fang, if we have anything to pay attention to next time, we can tell him first." Ning Chen said to Fang Xiong with a dark face.
"I'll pay attention next time."
After a pause, Fang Xiong said to Ning Chen: "Try punching me with all your strength."
Ning Chen also happened to want to test his strength.
After listening to Fang Xiong's words, Ning Chen stopped being polite to Fang Xiong.
Ning Chen gathered all the energy and blood in his body and punched out fiercely.
"boom!"
Ning Chen's punch hit Fang Xiong without any reservation.
There is no need to worry about hurting Fang Xiong or anything.
Fang Xiong is at the peak of the third level and will be hurt if he is punched by him.
He might not stand in front of him anymore, he might have died a long time ago.
Sure enough, Ning Chen's punch only shook Fang Xiong.
"It's very good. The marrow cleansing is very thorough." Fang Xiong gave his own comments.
"Hey, you recovered so quickly." He saw that Ning Chen's energy and blood had been completely restored while he was speaking.
Fang Xiong was also surprised.
"Shouldn't it be possible to recover so quickly?" Ning Chen was a little stunned by Fang Xiong's surprise.
With such a speed of recovery, Ning Chen felt that he should be considered fast.
But it shouldn't surprise even Fang Xiong.
In terms of sincerity and calmness, Fang Xiong still far surpasses Xu Muzhi.
If it were Xu Muzhi at this time, Xu Muzhi would definitely tell Ning Chen: "Your recovery speed is so-so."
But Fang Xiong said to Ning Chen very frankly: "Your speed is very fast. Judging from the speed, your level of marrow cleansing at this time should have reached the top level of chalcedony."
"Is there any level for marrow washing?" This is another blind spot of Ning Chen's knowledge.
Fang Xiong nodded and explained to Ning Chen: "Of course this is divided. Marrow washing is divided into five levels: iron, copper, silver, gold and jade.
The direct difference between levels is the speed of recovery after a full-force attack.
In the case of iron marrow, it will take at least a cup of tea to recover after an attack.
Copper takes half a cup of tea.
Silver needs to be divided.
Gold requires three finger snaps.
As for jade, it only takes a moment."
Ning Chen silently calculated in his mind, it took five minutes for iron, two and a half minutes for copper, one minute for silver, thirty seconds for gold, and one moment for jade, which is ten breaths.
And just ten breaths after he punched him, the energy and blood in his body was completely replenished again.
So what I have accomplished is really chalcedony.
At the same time, Ning Chen made some calculations and found that if he always maintained his full output, judging from the level of his marrow cleansing, it would not be a problem to persist for an hour.
Wufu is indeed the strongest violent output in the same realm.
However, the ten breaths between them are actually quite dangerous.
In a duel between masters, not to mention ten breaths, even one breath can change a lot of things.
Fortunately, Ning Chen is not a simple martial artist, Ning Chen has many other methods.
During the ten-breath interval during which the warrior recovers his energy and blood, Ning Chen can completely use other means to make up for the shortfall in this period of time.
Based on this calculation, my current actual attack power, even among the fourth-grade ones, should not be considered to be at the bottom.
If Qinglian is included, Ning Chen feels that his combat power is completely comparable to the top four levels of each major system.
In this case, I can barely be considered a master.
