A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 76 Mental Power

At noon, Duan Rong only drank a small pot of rice wine!
However, this evening, Duan Rong drank a whole jar of Bamboo Leaf Green at a greasy table in the corner of this tavern!

He doesn't drink fast!

But, he enjoyed drinking it!
In his previous life, he was allergic to alcohol and was afraid of drinking places!
But I didn't expect that the fate of this wave of souls that came through was so miserable, but he was born to be able to drink a lot without getting drunk!

Duan Rong drank until his face turned red and his eyes were shining, then he staggered out of the tavern and returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency!

Duan Rong actually had no intention of drinking, but when he sat in the tavern and ate, he found that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking uncontrollably...

Duan Rong immediately understood that although he appeared to be relaxed on the surface, the nausea after the killing had actually been hidden in his body all along!

He just suppressed it!
This might be the sequelae of his murder, and it might always follow him...

He wanted to use the anesthesia of alcohol to dispel his depression...

The unhappiness in the human body will usually be dissipated quickly through certain bad habits!
This is also one of the very important experiences he had in his previous life!

In his previous life, he couldn’t drink alcohol, and when he was depressed, he would overeat!

When Duan Rong returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency and walked to the martial arts arena, he suddenly remembered Zhou Shoushan's Huangquan swordsmanship!
He remembered that it was in the spirit of a certain sword on the weapon rack in the martial arts arena!

Duan Rong then began to rummage through the weapons rack, reeking of alcohol!
After trying several knives, Duan Rong suddenly looked at the data in front of him, smiled slightly, burped, and said to himself: "Swallow!"

Object: Dao
Spirit Level: Level 1

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 1 (satisfied).

Devouring effect: Mastery of Huangquan swordsmanship.

Duan Rong was already drunk, and after swallowing the spirit, he felt uncomfortable in his head. He returned to the dormitory and fell asleep immediately...

When Duan Rong woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. The sunlight penetrated through the thin cloth pasted on the carved wooden window and hit his face!
Duan Rong struggled to get up, and suddenly felt a splitting headache!

This is actually a common problem among people who can drink a lot, as most of them will not drink until the next day!
The pain of quitting drinking is almost like a feeling of world-weariness!

After a few breaths, the exploding headache slowly receded like a tide...

Duan Rong took a few breaths, looking tired. He picked up the wooden basin and towel in the corner and went to the well in the dormitory yard to wash up!
After cleaning, Duan Rong felt refreshed. He thought for a moment and realized that the Huangquan Sword Technique he had swallowed had been digested and absorbed while he was drunk and sleeping last night.

Huangquan swordsmanship is not the swordsmanship taught by Yuanshun Escort Agency!
If he fights directly in the martial arts arena and someone sees him, he might get into unnecessary trouble!

However, it was already morning and there was basically no one in the dormitory, so he had to act like a mouse again and study the Huangquan sword technique in the dormitory.

Although the dormitory is cramped and narrow, Duan Rong has the Cloud Snake Step, so he has no problem performing normal swordsmanship!

Duan Rong held the oxtail knife in his hand and used his enchanting Cloud Snake Step to perform the mastery-level Huangquan swordsmanship three or four times in a row in the cramped dormitory!
Duan Rong suddenly stood beside the bed, knife put away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes!
The defensive strategy of this Huangquan swordsmanship is indeed ingenious!

Moreover, the defensive skills in this sword technique are quite effective against quick attacks by erratic body movements!

But...if you really meet an opponent whose internal energy is stronger than yours, this defensive technique will be a bit useless!

Duan Rong was originally quite interested in this sword technique, but after he really learned it, he found that it was just so-so!
I feel bored after watching the magic tricks revealed!
Duan Rong sighed, sheathed his sword, left the dormitory, crossed the martial arts field, and went to the street!

At this time, it was already past the time for breakfast in the cafeteria, and Duan Rong was hungry, so he walked to the street, bought six buns, and ate them while thinking about things!

Right now, he does have something that he needs to think carefully about!
That’s a question of mental strength!
Duan Rong has achieved the second level of inner energy!
The next focus of practice will be the Five Tigers and Sheep Swords at the minor success level, which is the third level of the Inner Breath Realm!

But if he wanted to maintain his original cultivation speed, he had to devour the Five Tigers and Sheep Sword Spirit at the Minor Success Realm! It wasn't that there weren't any Five Tigers and Sheep Sword Spirits at the Minor Success Realm. They were on the weapon racks in the martial arts arena!
However, the host's mental strength level must be 2!
However, Duan Rong's mental power level is only level 1!
The problem is already clear, we need to improve our mental strength!

So, how to improve?

Devouring the spirit of ancient trees can increase spiritual power.

But the spirit of the ancient ginkgo tree that can increase spirit is of level 9, and he can't devour it at all.

When Duan Rong first started researching the ability to devour weapon spirits, he had made a preliminary attempt to find out whether the weapon spirit of the decades-old locust tree in the martial arts arena had the effect of increasing mental strength.

Moreover, at that time, the issue of mental strength was not the most pressing problem, and he did not dig deeper into it.

In his previous life, Duan Rong learned a truth: Even if you have thousands of threads in your hands, you can only pass one thread through the eye of a needle at a time.

At that time, the thread that Duan Rong needed to pass through was not mental power.

But now, he finally grasped the thread of mental power in his hand, but where was the eye of the needle through which he wanted to thread it?
After some thought, Duan Rong decided to learn from the lesson of the last incident with Guanyun. Instead of figuring it out on his own, he might as well ask Xiao Zongting first and then make plans for the next step.

Moreover, he has already achieved the second level of Inner Breath, and just in time he is going to find Xiao Zongting to ask for the secret book of the third level of Inner Breath!

After Duan Rong finished his thoughts, he entered the gate of Yuanshun Escort Agency, turned his foot, and went to the courtyard where Xiao Zongting lived!
Duan Rong walked into the front yard of Xiao Zongting and saw Zhu Xiaoqi turning over and drying dried radishes by the kitchen door.

The sliced radish filled two baskets, and looked so beautiful under the sunlight!
Duan Rong walked over and smiled at Zhu Xiaoqi. Zhu Xiaoqi glanced at him but ignored him.

"Xiaoqi, isn't this radish quite juicy? Why do you want to dry it into dried radish?" Seeing that Zhu Xiaoqi ignored him, Duan Rong smiled and started a conversation.

Zhu Xiaoqi looked up and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "This is for making pickled radishes."

"Oh..." Duan Rong saw Zhu Xiaoqi talking, so he glanced at the door leading to the backyard and asked, "Xiaoqi, is Mr. Xiao here?"

"In the main room in the backyard, talking to someone!" Zhu Xiaoqi replied.

"Who?"

"I've found someone to treat the Second Miss..."

"Doctor Gu?"

"no!"

As the two were talking, suddenly two figures walked out from the door in the backyard!

One of them was Xiao Zongting, who was limping, while the other was extremely thin, with a ferocious face, sparse gray hair, and a red fleshy nose in the middle of his face covered with black spots.

Both of them had unfriendly looks on their faces and were talking about something as they walked.

When Duan Rong saw the person beside Xiao Zongting, he was slightly stunned and thought: Why does this person look so ferocious and scary?

Duan Rong suddenly remembered that when he came over that day when Xiao Baiqiao gave him the sachet, he asked Zhu Xiaoqi about Mr. Xiao.

At that time, Zhu Xiaoqi said that Xiao Zongting went out mysteriously early in the morning.

It seems that this person was invited from somewhere to treat Xiao Baiqiao!

But this person looks so ferocious and weird, I'm afraid he's not a good person...
