I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 12 Dragon Fruit

"Qianjiao Martial Arts School?" Liu Qiaolian's expression suddenly became a little complicated when she heard this.

"What's wrong?" Xia Daoming asked.

"Actually, Liu Zhong and I often travel between the north and the south to work as foot traders to make money. In addition to supplying Liu Zhong with the supplements he needs for his daily martial arts training, another big purpose is to save enough money for him to enter the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts under his master. ." Liu Qiaolian replied, in the firelight, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with crystal light.

"I almost forgot, you also learned the Dragon Snake Technique! But does the Qianjiao Martial Arts School charge a lot of money?" Xia Daoming was surprised at first when he heard this, but he quickly recalled Liu Qiaolian's previous moves and the fluctuation of energy and blood, I was relieved, but I was surprised by the fee for Qianjiao Martial Arts School.

"If you are just a young martial artist, you only need more than ten taels of silver a year, and the biggest expense is to buy the secret medicine for refining qi and blood in the martial arts school.

However, the tuition fee for advancing from a fourth-grade junior martial artist to a fifth-grade great martial artist is very high, because it is related to the secret map of Shen Yun.

The Shen Yun secret map is a secret that has not been passed down. In a martial arts sect, only the inner disciples have the opportunity to observe and comprehend it. In a martial arts family, generally only the direct descendants of the martial arts family have the opportunity to observe and comprehend it.

Martial arts schools make money by teaching martial arts to outsiders, so outsiders can also observe and understand the martial arts secrets, but the cost is extremely expensive, and many martial arts schools also have many conditions.

For example, the age of a fourth-grade martial artist cannot exceed 25 years old. Additional money must be paid according to the time and number of observations, and martial arts schools often require a certificate of admission. "

"The age cannot exceed twenty-five years old?" Xia Daoming couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

He is twenty-four years old this year, and he will be twenty-five in a few months. Doesn't that mean he is just stuck on the threshold condition?

"Yes, when you reach the age of twenty-five, it is said that your energy and blood have reached its peak. If you have not become a fourth-grade martial artist at this age, it is generally difficult to hope to break through and become a fifth-grade great martial artist." Liu Qiaolian explained. road.

She now understands that the master is frighteningly powerful, but his knowledge is really limited.

"By the way, how much does it cost?" Xia Daoming asked.

"Five thousand taels! And each time you observe for an hour, you need to pay another hundred taels of silver, or help the martial arts school with a task." Liu Qiaolian replied.

"Five thousand taels!" Xia Daoming gasped when he heard this number.

He ransacked the entire Blood Wolf Hall but only managed to plunder more than 5,000 taels of silver.

He originally thought that this was a huge sum of money, enough for him to settle down in Licheng and study as a teacher, and even for the next period of time. Unexpectedly, it was only enough to pay for his apprenticeship.

Fortunately, he made two windfalls on the way and got more than two thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, he had spent so much that he couldn't even pay the tuition when he got to Licheng.

"Master, don't worry. My servant and Liu Zhong took some valuables with them when they escaped from Liujiazhuang. Over the years, they have adventured back and forth between the north and the south and accumulated some property. After all, it is not a problem to collect five thousand taels of silver." Liu Qiaolian said. .

Xia Daoming listened to Liu Qiaolian's considerate and considerate words, looked at her charming and fair face and plump figure behind the firelight, and remembered that not long ago she was busy serving him, and he was just like a master, with clothes on his hands and food on his hands, and his mouth open. Then I remembered that in the desert, the murderous beauty Ji Wenyue had to arrange everything by herself, and I couldn't help but sigh.

"Young people don't know how good a young wife is, and they mistake young girls for treasures; young people don't know the fragrance of soft rice, and they mistake their youth for planting rice seedlings! I, Xia Daoming, have been a human being for two generations, and now I finally understand this thought-provoking warning!"

Xia Daoming was sighing in his heart when he suddenly saw the light of the fire and Liu Qiaolian untied her clothes.

"I'll go, how...how should I take this move!" Xia Daoming was dumbfounded.

Although in his previous life, he was not a chaste man when it came to matters between men and women. Sometimes when he was single when he went to a bar or in a business situation, he would inevitably make a fool of himself.

But he is far from casual enough to play poker just after meeting a decent woman.

Moreover, in this life, when it comes to matters between men and women, he is really not mentally prepared to use swords or guns.

At least, Xia Daoming believes that he needs to wait until he has achieved success in martial arts practice and established himself in this world before he will consider that aspect.

"Lian'er..." Xia Daoming quickly made a decision.

But before Xia Daoming could say anything else, Liu Qiaolian took out a torn and yellowed map made of unknown material from her clothes.

"Ahem!" Xia Daoming choked on his saliva when he saw this.

"Master, do you have something to tell me just now?" Upon seeing this, Liu Qiaolian stood up quickly, walked behind Xia Daoming, patted his back gently, and asked.

"Uh, no, I'm just curious about what personal belongings you want to bring." Xia Daoming said.

Hearing this, Liu Qiaolian handed the broken map in her hand to Xia Daoming, with a touch of sadness and reminiscence in her eyes.

"My father used to be the owner of Liujiazhuang and the leader of the Liu clan in Liujiazhuang. This map is said to have been handed down from our ancestors. It is said that the place marked on this map contains the Dragon Transformation Fruit."

"Dragon Fruit?" Xia Daoming looked puzzled when he heard this.

"A snake is a small dragon, and a dragon is a half-dragon. Therefore, the first four levels of the Dragon Snake Jue are also called the Tan Snake Jue, the fifth to eighth levels are called the Hidden Jiao Jue, and the ninth to twelfth levels are called the Dragon Transformation Jue.

When you practice the Tan Snake Art to perfection, you can understand the secret map of the charm. By practicing the Hidden Dragon Art, you can cultivate the dark energy and advance to the Hidden Dragon. The Hidden Dragon is not a real dragon yet. It hides in the dark places of the abyss, disappearing without appearing, and constantly accumulating energy. Strengthen the dragon nature and power. Only when the Hidden Dragon Technique is practiced to perfection can it be transformed into a real dragon, which can be big or small, invisible or visible, and infinitely variable. At that time, it will be the dragon-transformation realm of our set of exercises, and it is also the master realm.

The master can calligraphy and painting, which contains the secret map of cultivating dark energy for his disciples to study and understand. However, in the realm of the master, which is the secret map of transforming energy, the master cannot calligraphy and painting. Only the great master can calligraphy and painting. "

When Xia Daoming heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Does Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall have a secret map of the charm of the Dragon Transformation Realm?"

"In legend, the dragon is one of the most powerful divine beasts. It has immense magical powers and endless transformations. Warriors have to perform dragon and snake transformations. Once the real dragon is manifested, it is much more powerful than other techniques, but of course it is also more difficult. many.

Therefore, the secret map of this magical technique that transforms strength, not to mention the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, is probably not available in the entire Mangzhou. As for the Daliang Kingdom, the servants have limited knowledge and do not know it. Liu Qiaolian replied.

Xia Daoming's face turned gloomy and ugly when he heard this.

His goal is not just to be a great martial artist, but a great master.

But now it seems that the secret map of the energy-changing charm of this technique is extremely difficult to find, and it is even difficult to say whether the Liang Kingdom has it.

"How do you know so much?" Xia Daoming was in a gloomy mood and at the same time he was also very curious about Liu Qiaolian's knowledge.

"My ancestors once had a Huajin Grandmaster!" Liu Qiaolian said, with a hint of pride on her face, but soon her expression turned gloomy.

"Could it be that the Dragon Transformation Fruit can help people understand the realm of Dragon Transformation?" Xia Daoming's heart moved when he heard this, and he blurted out, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the broken map.

It's a pity that the map is quite damaged. Xia Daoming can tell that the picture is Cangmang Mountain, but the mountain marked on the map has three peaks rising straight into the sky, and the place with Feiquan Valley below is exactly where in Cangmang Mountain. It is impossible to judge.

"My lord is wise, it is said that this Dragon Transformation Fruit is conceived and grown in a place soaked in dragon blood. After people eat it, they can understand the true dragon changes in the power of Qi and blood without any teacher.

It is said that the ancestor was chased by his enemies into the Cangmang Mountain and lost his way in the Cangmang Mountain. As a blessing in disguise, he got a Dragon Transformation Fruit and eventually became a martial arts master.

Before he died, he left behind a map and the secret map of An Jin Shen Yun. Unfortunately, the Cangmang Mountain is extremely dangerous. After the ancestor passed away, some of the family members went to the Cangmang Mountain to search for the Dragon Transformation Fruit, but they never came out again.

Those were the most outstanding children of the family, and their loss led to the family's rapid decline. By the generation of my great-great-grandfather, the Shen Yun in the Secret Map of Shen Yun had completely disappeared, and there was no longer a great martial artist in Liujiazhuang.

As for this map, when it was passed to my father, it was already very damaged. Now that there are no men in the Liu family, and the servants are already the master's, this picture should naturally be kept by the master.

It's just that Cangmang Mountain is extremely dangerous, and the map is very broken. It's difficult to find the place where it used to be based on the map. If I haven't cultivated to the level of an eighth-level great martial artist, I must not even think about entering Cangmang Mountain. Liu Qiaolian said.

"Don't worry, I won't take this road unless I have to." Xia Daoming nodded, and then carefully put away the broken map in his hand.

No matter what, this is also a path for him to become a master in the future, and he must take good care of it.

Xia Daoming had just put away the broken map when he saw Liu Qiaolian reaching into her clothes again.

"No, is it possible that we still can't escape this disaster?" Xia Daoming felt conflicted.

As a result, Liu Qiaolian took out another piece of paper that was yellow but not broken and made of unknown material.

"This is a secret recipe for refining medicine handed down from our ancestors. It is called Ksitigarbha Rejuvenation Pill. It is said to be a pill suitable for masters to take. I don't know if it is true or not. Please keep it." Liu Qiaolian handed the secret recipe for refining medicine to him. Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming took the secret recipe for refining the medicine and glanced at it. He saw that most of the medicines recorded on it were unknown to him, but there was one thing he recognized, which was at least a century-old dragon-marked purple blood ginseng.

"Dragon-marked purple blood ginseng is actually used. It seems that the statement about Ksitigarbha's blood-recovering pill is very likely to be true!" Xia Daoming was pleasantly surprised and carefully put away the secret recipe for refining the medicine.

When Xia Daoming put away the secret recipe for refining the medicine, Liu Qiaolian put her clothes back on, which made Xia Daoming feel a little more melancholy.

That night, the two masters and maids stayed at the Taoist temple.

Liu Qiaolian had gone through a great change and was haggard physically and mentally. Now she had no distracting thoughts. She just wanted to follow Xia Daoming to repay her kindness and spend the rest of her life, so she fell asleep and slept soundly.

Xia Daoming, on the other hand, couldn't sleep for a long time, thinking about the broken map and the secret recipe for refining medicine, thinking about going to Licheng to become a disciple, and sometimes thinking about the beautiful maid lying not far from him.

After a long time, Xia Daoming finally fell asleep.

The next day, when Xia Daoming woke up, he found Liu Qiaolian's busy figure.

Not only had he prepared water for washing in advance and brought it to him immediately when he woke up, but he had also prepared breakfast.

After a simple breakfast, the two of them left the Taoist temple each carrying a baggage.
