Chapter 214 Advanced Horizontal Refining (Fifth Update)

Xiao Ran walked home slowly. When he got home, he fed the old ox again. After making sure that the ox was full, he turned around and went to the charity cemetery.

When he arrived at the charity cemetery, he told his master what had happened yesterday and today.

The old man was silent for a long time after hearing this. He held the edge of the coffin with one hand, and it made a creaking sound. One corner of the coffin was almost crushed.

"There is one more thing, Master. Tomorrow, the grandmother of the Zhao family will come to see you. Please handle it."

Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, how could I forget about her?"

"Master, are you going to run away or pretend to be dead? My aunt said that if you don't make him understand, he will burn down your charity cemetery."

"Go away, go away. You can't tell him that I'm already dead. I just had a fever last night and my bones are cold."

The old man glared at Xiao Ran unhappily. Seeing that the boy looked like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune, he immediately said unhappily, "How is your practice of the Fang family's swordsmanship going? Go and practice it for me twenty more times."

After hearing this, Xiao Ran could only go and practice swordplay obediently.

Most of the Fang family's sword techniques are just fancy moves, but the killer moves are hidden in them. People who don't know the basics might think that this person is a third-rate character after a few moves. They would never expect that the killer move will come after just one or two moves, and it is domineering, strange, and hard to defend against.

After practicing the swordsmanship, Xiao Ran practiced the swordsmanship taught by Li Jingqi several times.

This set of boxing techniques is indeed as Li Jingqi said, mysterious and profound.

Especially when combined with [Purple Gold Tiger Support], it can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

However, based on my current progress, it is still very difficult to truly master this set of boxing techniques.

It was getting dark before Xiao Ran set out to go home.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay in the charity cemetery, but the old man is unwilling to do so. The charity cemetery is gloomy and cold during the day.

It was even more uncomfortable at night. The old man was worried that he would lose control at night, so he would not allow Xiao Ran to stay in the charity cemetery at night.

When he got home, Xiao Ran had nothing to do, so he simply took out two more corpses and started to sew them up.

These two corpses were the two unlucky guys who were used as blood food by the old man before. Xiao Ran couldn't understand why they started delivering takeout food out of the blue.

Xiao Ran placed the corpse on the table and began to sew it up. Although the lighting at home was not good, it was not a problem for his current vision.

I don’t know if it’s because of the incomplete limbs, but the student whose palms were chopped off and tongue was pulled out by the old man didn’t get a high score after the repair.

He only gave himself 100 points, but as for the spell pattern that he had been longing for, he didn't have it.

It seems that if you want to obtain the curse pattern by seizing the karma, you still need a higher level curse pattern.

Xiao Ran then began to sew up another corpse.

The body was relatively intact, and Xiao Ran was able to sew it up with ease.

"You sewed up Jia Panpan's body, did you take over the business?"

"Seize the business!"

As Xiao Ran's voice fell, a faint light appeared on the corpse in front of him, as well as the memory book, skill book, and spell scroll.

Seeing the spell scroll emerging from above, Xiao Ran showed joy on his face. He reached out and took it to take a look at the E-level spell: [Empowerment]

Looking at the information appearing in front of him, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a surge of joy in his heart and his heartbeat immediately accelerated.

"Hahahaha, this is really a gift from God. It comes without any effort!!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With spiritualization and opening of muscles, he now has met all the conditions for becoming a monk. How could he not be surprised?

The conditions for a monk to climb the stairs are very simple.

In addition to the two spells, he also needed to master a martial art. Xiao Ran was not sure about his boxing skills, but in terms of swordsmanship, he had already reached the level of a master.

Before in Penglai Tower, Xiao Ran had thought about letting the monk advance as quickly as possible, but the price of the [Open Muscles] spell was already very expensive, and as an E-level spell, [Infuse the Spirit] was a bit outrageously expensive.

In fact, if you think about it, you should understand that the monk profession is definitely the most popular choice among all beginners. On the one hand, the monk's professional skills are relatively simple, and on the other hand, it is the most direct way to improve combat effectiveness.

Apple's team, including himself, has five people, and three of them are choosing the monk path. You can imagine how common this profession is.

It is precisely because they are so common that the prices of advanced spells remain high.

The money I have is barely enough to buy the next [Infuse Spirit] spell, but I will have no money to buy the [Open Muscles] spell, and vice versa.

Therefore, he did not think about it at that time, but he did not expect that later, Shen Kuaidao and the others directly gave him a tendon-opening spell pattern, and now he actually came with this [Infusing Spirits]. It was an unexpected surprise, but also understandable. After all, they were common professions, and most people would do part-time jobs for themselves. As long as Xiao Ran sutured enough corpses, encountering these would only be a matter of probability.

Take out another spell pattern [Open the Muscles] from the space.

Two spell patterns fell into his hands.

[You have reached the standard for the advanced D-level profession [Horizontal Refining]. Do you want to proceed to the next level? ]

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with brilliance. With the experience from last time, Xiao Ran knew that climbing the stairs was not an easy task, at least he could not escape the physical pain.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Ran threw out the tiger, Shangniao Lingzi, the spirit snake, the shooter, and Shen Kuaidao together.

Let them protect you, and let the spirit snake activate [Lingxi Incense Burner·Pharmacist], ready to reinforce you at any time.

After making sure everything was safe, Xiao Ran decided to prepare to step up the stairs.

"Climb the stairs!"

Along with Xiao Ran's confirmation, the power that was ready to move in his body could no longer be suppressed and was about to rush out. The blue veins on his two arms began to wriggle, and light blue spell patterns emerged from under his flesh like hungry wolves, pouring into the spell scrolls in Xiao Ran's hands.

In a moment, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xiao Ran's forehead. After getting Xiao Ran's permission, the spirit snake next to him immediately pointed the spiritual incense burner at Xiao Ran.

Privilege 1: Elixir Smoke

You can almost use medicinal smoke on the target to quickly heal the target's injuries.

Following that, Privilege 2: Divine Incense was also activated.

It can heal the injured soul and restore one's own mental exhaustion to a great extent.

With the nourishment of the Lingxi Incense Burner, the tense veins on Xiao Ran's face relaxed slightly. However, this was not enough. Climbing the stairs consumed too much energy. Most people would be seriously injured if they succeeded in climbing the stairs rashly. They would not be able to recover unless they lay in bed for a few days.

But Xiao Ran doesn't have the time to rest. He must improve his own strength while ensuring that he maintains peak combat effectiveness at all times.

He immediately gritted his teeth and activated one of the eight treasures' privileges: lubrication.

Get special effect: Lubrication (one-time)
Lubrication; after activation, it can quickly recover all internal injuries.

This privilege is one of the things you gain by eating the eight treasures.

Xiao Ran himself had never found an opportunity to use it, so now he used it all without reservation.

With the activation of the privilege, a dormant breath in the abdomen began to revive, followed by a rich life force, slowly flowing to his limbs. At first, this breath was very weak.

But as time went by, it gradually became stronger and stronger, and finally became like a surging river, pouring into his body endlessly.

At this moment, the energy Xiao Ran had consumed seemed to be so much that it seemed like it would be endless.

With this replenishment of vitality, the spell patterns surging from his arms were like stimulants. He pulled the spell patterns on the scroll out with force and forced them into Xiao Ran's body, devouring them completely.

Soon, as the two spell patterns turned into ashes and dissipated in Xiao Ran's hands, his head buzzed, and then he heard the prompt he had been expecting:

"You have completed the requirements for the next level and obtained the D-level spell pattern [Horizontal Refining]"
