Lord of the Desert

Chapter 59 Cracks
"What's the explanation for Master Qian's talent and opportunity?"

Hearing the words, Hong Ming got excited, spread his five fingers and shattered the seal of another jar of wine, offered to pour wine for Qian Hong, and said curiously.

"Talent is divided into civil and military, and everyone has their own value. I won't talk about it."

Qian Hongda Lala accepted the service of King Huo Xuming and replied.

"Brother Hong Xian is highly valued by Duke Zhuang, how can we miss the opportunity?"

"Just this time, the congratulatory gift that came with the letter included four Bailu Pills, worth [-] silver!"

As soon as he blurted out his words, except for two or three people including Hong Jian who had been reported by Hong Fan yesterday, the rest of you were suddenly at a loss for words.

Hong Ming, who was pouring wine for his eldest brother, didn't even notice that the wine glass was full, and didn't react until the wine splashed all over the place.

"Bai Lu Dan...is it produced by the Haizhou Xinsheng Sect, which ranks at the forefront of the second rank of the Martial Arts Academy?"

Zheng Zhun asked in surprise.

"Fan'er is indebted to Mr. Zhuang's love, indeed."

Hong Jian nodded in reply.

"I know the Heart Sacred Sect, one of the four major martial arts sects in the world, and a martial sage sits in it."

Uncle Hong Cheng sitting beside Hong Fan asked curiously.

"But what does Bailu Dan say?"

He is one of the six Hunran Realms of the Hong family and works in the City Defense Department.

As soon as this question was asked, everyone looked at Hong Fan.

"I haven't used it yet. It is said that it is to assist the penetrating realm warriors to open the meridians, but the effect is better. It is essentially the same as our Tuigong pill."

Hong Fan returned in an ordinary manner, showing no composure.

"Ha, don't listen to him pretending to be modest."

Wen Zhongguan waved his hand and said.

After he entered Jinhai, things rarely went his way, but when he met his opponent in wine today, he had to take advantage of it.

"When I was in Xijing back then, did I hear that the refining of Bai Lu Dan was closely related to the "Da Meng Wujue Sutra" of the Xinsheng Sect."

The warriors present were all moved when they heard the words.

The martial arts that can be named after the word "jing" in Dahua are all recognized as being able to directly point to the realm of martial saints.

"According to Mr. Zhuang, a person can use up to four Bailu Dans in a lifetime, and it can be used regardless of the type of skill used by the user."

Wen Zhongguan continued.

"As for the entry after taking the medicine, it should be related to the talent of the user."

"In short, with Hong Xiandi's excellent talent, if you use the four pills for two months at a time, at least..."

He made a fool of himself and pointed to the empty cup in front of him.

Hong Ming immediately realized the interest, snatched the flagon from Qiude's hand, and stepped forward to pour the wine like a hot wheel.

The wine glass was full, Wen Zhongguan drank a mouthful, and then spoke again.

"At least the four principles!"

As Qian Hong cooperated with the master to expel four fingers, there was a sound of inhalation at the wine table.

Among the crowd, Hong Sheng reacted the most.

When he heard "Two months and four ways are serious", he couldn't help but cast a deep glance at Hong Fan, and then quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

At first, the eldest son of the Hong family didn't care about his younger brother Xianyu's turnaround, and even after Sha Shijie was exposed, he still remained calm.

Because his lead in martial arts is too great.

"Second brother is really happy to have this opportunity!"

After taking a deep breath, Hong Sheng took the lead in raising his glass to congratulate each other.

"Thank you brother!"

Hong Fan replied, seeing the other party's abnormality in his eyes.

Seeing his concubine's very measured smile, Hong Sheng couldn't control his thoughts more and more.

He first thought of Jiang Youde and Sha Shijie, and then Hong Fan's response after Fang Zhiwu's case happened.

In the end, He Shengjie's encounters also came to mind one by one, which made him feel like he was in the urn.

The strong wine is like a fire, burning all the way to the heart.

Hong Sheng emptied the empty cup, hastily put on a smiling face, only to feel that the lacquered chair under his buttocks suddenly became bumpy.

After the rest of the people were pleasantly surprised, they turned to sigh.

"It's a gift of a thousand taels of gold, and my annual salary is only four hundred shi! One elixir is worth 15 years of hard work, and the supervisor is the supervisor..."

Hong Cheng sighed, looking at his nephew Hong Fan with envy.

He is Hong Fu's biological father, he has all three veins, and he works in the City Defense Department.

For the people of Jinhai City, Dajianzao is too high and too far away, like the sun in the sky; they don't really have a concept of how much light and heat it has.

Now with this gift as a comparison, everyone in the Hong family vaguely knows what kind of thick leg their nephew is holding.

······
September 23, late at night.

Outside the remote courtyard of the Hong Mansion, the night watch team carrying lanterns made their way around the third time conscientiously.

Hong Fan in the back room heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and further away, immersed in peace.

It has been a month since the Battle of the Golden Sea Desert. Although the prison disaster has involved a few days of energy, his progress has not been slowed down too much.

There are a total of [-] major acupoints connected to the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming, and now it has been connected to [-] points, which is only a step away.

Take freshly cut cistanche hot tea and replace it with a piece of unused blood-inducing incense.

After getting rid of distracting thoughts, Hong Fan entered the internal viewing state again.

Yanliu Kung Fu revolves like a wheel, and the true energy with real feeling is constantly surging, squeezing towards the final threshold.

With the help of the power of Tui Gong Wan, after continuing to practice for half an hour, Hong Fan suddenly felt his strength loosen.

Afterwards, the wind on the head and face disappeared, and the cold on the top of the head returned to spring, and the breathing through the nose orifice felt smoother than ever.

He knew that this was the last acupuncture point of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, and the "Yingchun Point" next to the nose was penetrated.

"The cultivation base of the four disciplines is at an average level in Zhu Yiqi."

Hong Fan withdrew from the inner view, and slowly clenched his hands into fists, feeling the solid increase in strength.

Then, he quickly cleaned up his overly relaxed mood and entered today's topic.

From the jade box beside him, the first Bai Lu Dan was taken out.

Putting it in the mouth and putting it on the tongue, Hong Fan could feel the warm jade texture on the surface of the elixir, and with the secretion of body fluid, the original longan-sized pill quickly melted and spread along the esophagus into the body, turning into Heavy medicinal power.

As the last bit of weight on his tongue disappeared, there was only one thought in his mind.

[The 3000 taels of silver are gone. 】

At the same time, the inner viewing state that has already entered seems to be attracted by the vortex, and it is transformed into a deeper direction.

The passage of time gradually blurred.

Numerous fuzzy and distant fighting roars sounded in Hong Fan's ears, and scattered and indistinguishable battle scenes floated before his eyes.

When he turned around, he found himself in a wide and messy river.

The river channel is semicircular, and its sides are full of cracks, as if it has been dry for a long time.

A large number of hard-to-recognize gray-black thorns, wood and stone obstacles are growing and stacking in it.

【Where am I? 】

Hong Fan thought about it all his life, and suddenly he responded.

[This is the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian in my hand, and the first big acupoint in front of me is Guan Chong. 】

After the first autonomous thought appeared, he quickly recovered his thinking.

【I have just taken Bailu Dan and am performing exercises...】

As soon as the thoughts left, countless emptiness and hazy dews fell from the sky all at once, converging into a raging fire in the river, surging forward.

Hong Fan took a closer look, and found that the fire was like a wall like a forest, and its appearance was exactly the same as the Fire Cloud Palm that Hong Li demonstrated before, burning the ailments in the valley at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fire is raging, and the time is endless.

When Hong Fan was exhausted and woke up from the illusion, he found that it was dawn outside the window.

However, the first acupoint Guanchong and the second acupoint Yemen of the Sanjiao Meridian of Hand Shaoyang were penetrated overnight.

Martial arts improved greatly overnight, but Hong Fan felt a sense of loss.

"Bai Lu Dan, Xin Shengzong, the Great Dream Sutra..."

He sat on the bed and murmured, unconsciously reminded of the world-famous general outline of martial arts of the Heart Sacred Sect——There is nothing outside the heart.
