Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 43 Test
  After Jia Qiang's spirit increased to 30 points, she stopped improving her spirit.

His mind is particularly clear now. Some aspects of knowledge that were not very clear before were now understood by just going through them in his mind.

He looked at the '↑' number after the four attributes, which suddenly increased his spirit by 10 points, but still did not consume the increase in attributes brought by the nine-level improvement.

He tried to increase his agility attribute by 10 points, making his agility 21 points.

Finally, he looked at the physical fitness item, and after thinking about it, he started to improve the physical attributes again.

This time, after improving the physical fitness by 5 points, the '↑' sign disappeared.

He calculated and found that a total of 40 attribute points were added, from level 1 to level 9. The 40-point attribute increase was equivalent to a 5-point attribute increase for each level.

Jia Qiang looked at his game character status bar, and an illusory panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Jia Qiang [Level 9]

Occupation: Taoist priest

Power: 60
  Constitution: 35.1
  Agility: 21
  Spirit: 30
  Life: 351
  Mana: 30
  Skill: Healing [Elementary]

Mental Warfare [Elementary]

Although his strength has not changed, he has a feeling that if he fights against that fifth-level master again, this time he won't have to use any cheating methods at all, and he can beat that fifth-level master to the point where he can't even recognize his mother.

Life and mana have increased, and the number of 'healing spells [primary]' he can cast has increased from 10 to 15 times.

Fortunately, 'Spiritual Warfare [Elementary]' does not require mana to be used. This passive skill works automatically.

In the next few days, Jia Qiang did not change in any way because he became a lord. He even did not put on official robes, but went to the Imperial College wearing the same Confucian shirt as before.

This time, the emperor's reward did not go through the court's yamen, so it did not spread.

Of course, there were some reasons for this, because the Supreme Emperor slapped Emperor Jingwen in the face again, and the eunuchs in the palace kept their mouths shut, not wanting to get into trouble because of this incident.

The most important thing is that Jia Qiang's identity is somewhat special. He has lost contact with the Jia family, has no other close people, and no one he knows in the court. All these made his entry into the nobility calm.

Finally, it was time to rest, and Jia Qiang went out alone without letting Lao Shuntou follow.

He was going outside the city, and a good horse suddenly appeared in the city, which might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Walking on the street, he soon spotted a carriage soliciting customers. He waved to the carriage and ordered the driver to take him out of the city.

After a few days, his mood calmed down.

It's not that he didn't want to check earlier what kind of good horse the horse brand [Good Grade Three] is, but he found that there were some spies around his yard.

This is thanks to his improvement in spirit. The 30 points of spirit allow him to feel the hidden sight.

For example, there is a candy seller's stall diagonally opposite the courtyard. It looks very normal. This kind of small business can be seen everywhere in the capital.

But the candy seller looked at him covertly a few times when he was going out, especially behind his back, paying more attention to him.

There were two others, further away than the candy seller's stall, but they also paid more than normal attention to him.

Although Jia Qiang didn't know whose people were spying on him, these happened after he was promoted to an official position. It is conceivable that this was probably the palace's method.

This discovery made him act more cautiously. This was the capital, a place full of spies.

In the past, Jia Qiang did not have enough status to be paid attention to by intelligence agencies, but now it is different. He has come into the sight of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Jingwen. Among them, the Supreme Emperor's special attention has attracted more surveillance.

That's why Jia Qiang went to school with peace of mind for a few days. After several days of observation, he found that the people under surveillance had no other actions, and there was no tracking.

This gave him the choice to leave the city. Maybe he would need to get used to being watched in the future.

On the carriage, he paid attention to the coachman. This could not be blamed on him being suspicious, but it was the first time in his two lives that he enjoyed the treatment of surveillance, which made him suspicious of everyone.

After leaving the city gate, he got off the carriage.

Like a student on a trip, he walked all the way to a deserted place.

When he was sure that there was no one around, he put the 'Horse Card [High Quality Third Level]' in the horse card position in the equipment column with a slight thought. Then he activated the 'Horse Card [Level 3]', and his body suddenly shot up, and an all-white war horse appeared under him.

"Why did you forget the riding gear?" He couldn't help but patted his head and said to himself.

Since this is a fusion of four good horses pulling a carriage, it is not saddled, so the white horse also has no saddle.

However, the saddle only made him ride more comfortable. As for his riding skills, as long as he was not fighting, ordinary riding would not be affected much.

"Drive!" He gently took the reins and shouted.

The white horse started to trot very obediently. As he drove it, the white horse ran faster and faster.

According to his estimation, the speed is almost more than 70 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than Xiao Hei before.

As Jia Qiang's mind moved slightly, armor appeared on his body.

This armor weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and combined with Jia Qiang's own weight, an ordinary war horse can only ride it for a short time.

But after he rode the white horse for an hour, he found that the white horse was not burdened by the armor. The speed remained at about 70 kilometers per hour for an hour.

If this speed can be maintained for four hours, it can travel a thousand miles in half a day, which is stronger than those so-called thousand-mile horses.

He suddenly thought about it, maybe the first-level good horse is a thousand-mile horse. He had the strength to surpass the thousand-mile horse by fusing four good horses at the first level.

A good horse will be of great help to him.

At this time, Jia Qiang's location was already in the mountains a little further out of the suburbs.

He made an archery target, and with a slight movement of his mind, the 'Zhentian Bow' appeared in his hand.

This time he did not use metal arrows. He did not buy metal arrows recently. There were many wooden arrows in the inventory.

Although the power of wooden arrows is not as good as that of metal arrows, metal arrows cannot be manufactured on a large scale. Even if he orders them, he can only buy them in small quantities.

Jia Qiang put away the white horse, but this time he did not give it a name.

He had named his first war horse 'Xiao Hei' and developed some feelings for it. However, after Xiao Hei died in battle, he was sad for a long time.

After he discovered that the horse cards could be fused, he could no longer put his emotions into the war horse.

Because even if the war horse is not killed in battle, it may be fused into a new war horse.

He came to a place five hundred steps away from the target, where the bull's-eye was somewhat difficult to see clearly.

Relying on the feeling of practicing archery before, he drew the 'Zhentian Bow', put the arrow on it and aimed it at the target. When he loosened the bow string, he had a clear understanding in his heart that the arrow missed.

He judged this from the flight trajectory of the arrow. After two years of practice, he still had a feel for it.

But something beyond his expectation happened. During the flight of the arrow, it seemed to be affected by some unknown force. The arrow actually adjusted its direction in mid-air.

Jia Qiang saw the arrow sinking into the center of the target. Although it was a little far away, it could still be seen that the arrow hit the target.

"Is this the effect of 'Spiritual Warfare [Elementary]'?" He looked at it from a distance and murmured.

At a distance of five hundred steps, even if he used a treasure bow such as the 'Zhentian Bow', he was not sure of hitting the target directly.

Not to mention that after shooting, he felt that the arrow missed the target, but the final result was that it hit the bull's-eye. If it were not for the reason of "Spiritual Warfare [Elementary]", he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

He nocked his bow again and shot an arrow.

The arrow still hit the bull's-eye steadily, and then he shot ten arrows in a row, the same thing every time.

With his current results, anyone who sees him will say "Archer".

But he knew his own strength. Except for the two arrows that were particularly lucky, the rest of the arrows were a little off, but even so, they still hit the bullseye.

'Spiritual Warfare [Elementary]' forcibly corrected the arrow's landing point, thus making him a master archer.
