Chapter 16: I’m addicted to drugs
For several days, Lin Yan continued to practice the tiger shape.
The tiger pounces, the tiger strides, the tiger glances, all of them lost their feline appearance and gained the ferocious spirit of a tiger coming out of the gate.
And the proficiency did not live up to his expectations, once again starting the fast lane of rapid growth, and within a few days, it increased to 65%.
That night, Lin Yan had perfected all the movements of the tiger form, and his movements became more and more smooth, playing over and over again.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of fullness all over his body, and streams of heat slowly filled the gaps in his body.
"Is this..."
Lin Yan was overjoyed. Could this be what the senior brother said, the limit of Qi and blood transformation?
Thinking back to the last Lunar New Year review, although Tang Shi and others passed the test, in fact, the performance of "Five Birds Hands" was just like that.
Could it be said that the limit of energy and blood transformation only needs to reach about 65%?
He closed his eyes and felt it, and soon discovered that the energy and blood were gradually accumulating, forming a boiling force.
It was as if it had reached its physical limit and could no longer integrate into its muscles and bones.
There was also a vague desire to try something in his body, and his invisible instinct told him that as long as he allowed his energy and blood to boil, the energy and blood would naturally complete a transformation!
With the transformation of Qi and blood, one can pass the Yuedan Review and be promoted to Wei Ziyuan.
How long has he been practicing "Five Animal Hands"?
Once successful, he may be promoted to the Weiziyuan or even the Longziyuan as a genius. By then, his living conditions, security, and social status will be greatly improved.
However, just when Lin Yan was about to let his blood boil, he suddenly thought of a question.
After the body undergoes a transformation of Qi and blood, will the "Five Birds Hands" still be effective?
If "Five Animal Hands" has no effect, can the proficiency level continue to increase?
He now has a deeper understanding of the Five Bird Hands, and he instinctively feels that if the energy and blood transformation is really carried out at 65%, the proficiency may stagnate and cannot be increased.
So he quickly controlled the changes in energy and blood, stopped practicing the tiger form, and started studying the ape form instead.
Sure enough, the proficiency began to increase again, and the Qi and blood accumulated in the body slowly integrated into the muscles and bones, no longer boiling.
“It seems that as long as you continue to advance your proficiency level, your Qi and blood will not boil and transform.
"Others, there is no proficiency prompt, so it is very likely that they will not be able to continue to increase their proficiency, and they have just undergone Qi and blood transformation at around 65%.
“Now that I understand the true training method of the Five Forms, I don’t have to be so anxious to make a breakthrough.
"It won't be too late to make a breakthrough after consulting my senior brother to determine if I can continue to improve my proficiency."
Lin Yan secretly paid attention to prevent the blood from boiling and transforming.
The second day was not the day for senior brother to teach.
A few days later, Lin Yan took advantage of his senior brother's visit to Wuziyuan and came to the martial arts training ground.
A casual glance showed that during this period, several new disciples came to Wuziyuan.
"Senior Brother Lin Yan, you are here."
Three or four disciples gathered around him enthusiastically.
They are both disciples of Wuziyuan and entered the school later than Lin Yan. Now Lin Yan is also called senior brother in Wuziyuan.
Before, they all gathered around Tang Shi and Bai Xin, but after Tang Shi entered Wei Ziyuan and lost contact with them, they spontaneously gathered around a few talented people in Wuziyuan and showed their hospitality eagerly.
Because Lin Yan was praised by his senior brother and was occasionally used as a positive teaching material by his senior brother, he also had a few fans around him.
Several disciples gathered around Lin Yan, talking all over the place.
"Senior Brother Lin, did you know? A new disciple has recently arrived, and it is said that he is extremely talented!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the owner of the museum personally brought him in. After only a few days of entry, he was already proficient in "Five Bird Hands".
"I heard that his surname is Mi, and within a few days after he arrived, he made a promise to make all Wuziyuan disciples follow his lead!"
"How arrogant! How long has he been in the industry? He really thinks of himself as a green onion!"
"You can't say that. I heard from senior brother that his progress in practicing "Five Bird Hands" is faster than that of senior brother Lin, and he is a disciple that the master of the hall values extremely.
"I don't believe it. How can he be compared to Senior Brother Lin? Senior Brother probably also takes care of the owner's face..."
Several people kept talking, but Lin Yan never answered.
The expressions of these people seemed to be angry, but in fact they contained a bit of expectation and provocation, and they were just watching the excitement.
Soon, they also felt Lin Yan's indifference, and consciously asking for trouble, they also said goodbye and gathered around Yu Qian and several other disciples on the other side.
Lin Yan looked on with cold eyes. He was a man of two generations and had long passed the age of being competitive.
Moreover, he is self-aware that his progress relies entirely on his proficiency and poison-reducing effects. In terms of talent, he is incomparable to a true martial arts genius.
So don’t be envious or jealous.
Wait quietly, the senior brother will come over soon.
After he finished lecturing and teaching, Lin Yan quickly stepped forward and asked his doubts.
Zang Wei was quite surprised: "Have you reached the limit of your energy and blood so quickly? I underestimated your talent. It's not much worse than Mitai."
Why are you talking about Mitai all of a sudden?
Lin Yan changed the subject: "Elder brother, after the transformation of Qi and blood, can the realm of "Five Birds Hands" be improved?"
Zang Wei shook his head: "No."
"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother."
Zang Wei said: "After the transformation of Qi and blood, the physique is strengthened, and the Five Bird Hands can no longer stimulate Qi and blood, and naturally cannot improve the realm.
"You don't have to worry about the level of "Five Animal Hands". It's just a martial art for health. No matter how high the level is, it will have minimal impact on the transformation of Qi and blood.
“So, when you almost reach the limit, just break through as soon as possible.
"I heard that you have a sister?"
Lin Yan replied: "Yes."
"You can pass the Wuziyuan examination by transforming your energy and blood. The sooner you pass, the higher the evaluation will be, the more money you will make in the future, the higher your status will be, and you will be able to better protect your sister."
Lin Yan thanked his senior brother, asked a few more questions in detail, and felt slightly grateful.
Just as he thought, after the transformation of Qi and blood, the physique was strengthened. "Five Bird Hands" could not shake Qi and blood, had no effect, and could no longer increase proficiency.
Fortunately, I controlled my desire to be promoted at that time, otherwise "Five Birds Hands" would never be able to be promoted.
After getting the answer, Lin Yan paid more attention to controlling the boiling of Qi and blood, and once again immersed himself in the study of the true meaning of the Five Forms.
After thoroughly studying the tiger shape, it becomes the ape shape.
What about Brachiolobus, Monkey King, King Kong, Wuxiaolingtong...
Everything became a reference, and as apes are close to humans, a breakthrough was made within a few days.
Next came the bear shape. The bear's strength was astonishing. Lin Yan's memory was also very deep and he made rapid progress.
Lin Yan was not very impressed with the crane and deer shapes, and the progress was a little slow, so he could only devote himself more to it, except taking care of Xiaozhi, almost day and night.
It was just that the Restoration Pill was very expensive. In just over half a month, I had already used six of them, which cost twenty taels of silver. It was too expensive.
Early that morning, Lin Yan was going to go to Pang Tong to buy medicine, and also asked about the channels through which he could get money.
When passing the martial arts training ground, a group of people in Wuziyuan suddenly became quiet and looked at him one after another.
Lin Yan didn't know why, but he saw someone walking out and stopped in front of him.
"Senior Brother Lin Yan."
"Who are you……"
Due to over-investment in "Five Animal Hands", Lin Yan has not been to the martial arts training ground for a while.
"Senior Brother Lin Yan, right? My name is Mitai, and I am the new disciple this month."
Lin Yan looked carefully. His surname was Mi? Is he that genius disciple?
Mitai is young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a circle of fine fuzz around his lips.
His voice was quite respectful, but he raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Yan up and down unscrupulously, with a vague provocation in his posture.
"Senior Brother said that Senior Brother Lin Yan is quite good at "Five Bird Hands" and is the best 'currently' among the new batch of disciples of Wuzi Academy."
He deliberately placed an emphasis on the word "currently" and continued: "I want to see what your "Five Birds Hand" is like."
Lin Yan glanced at him speechlessly.
"Senior Brother Lin must have gained a reputation in vain! Don't you even dare to demonstrate it to me?"
But Lin Yan turned around and left.
"Senior Brother Lin Yan! The monthly assessment will be held in half a month. Do you dare to take the assessment with me in advance? It has not been ten days since I started!"
Lin Yan walked away without looking back.
After seeing Lin Yan leave, other disciples gathered around him and complimented him.
"He must be afraid of Junior Brother Mi."
"That's right, Senior Sister Yu agreed to the challenge last time. He didn't even dare to agree."
"With such courage, what achievements can be achieved by practicing martial arts?"
The corners of Mitai's lips turned up again, and he raised a smile, and said to the other disciples beside him: "Senior Brother's words are exaggerated. This Lin Yan is worse than Senior Sister Yu Qianyu, he is just a cowardless person..."
A few days later, Lin Yan learned from other people's chats that Mitai was young and frivolous, and had made a statement, threatening that all the disciples of Wuziyuan would take him as the leader.
For this reason, he challenged people everywhere and invited people to participate in the monthly review.
Apart from Lin Yan, several of the more prominent disciples of Wuziyuan, including Yu Qian, were provoked by him.
Only Lin Yan didn't even say a harsh word, and was criticized by many disciples.
"I'm free..."
Lin Yan just shook his head and forgot about it. "Five Animal Hands" had once again entered a period of rapid improvement, and he had no time to care about such trivial matters.
Concentrated, I don’t know the time.
In six days, the crane shape was adjusted to its limit.
In another eight days, the deer shape will also be adjusted to its limit.
Thanks to the proficiency growth tips, he can judge whether his direction is correct or wrong anytime and anywhere, and then make improvements and adjustments.
Coupled with the twelve Resurrection Pills, a total of four taels of silver, he was able to successfully adjust all five forms in just one month.
This night, Lin Yan came to the martial arts training ground alone again.
There are still some details of his deer shape that have not been adjusted properly, and he is doing the final exercises tonight.
The boxing frame was opened, and he gradually transformed into an elk leaping over the mountain stream. His movements were light and comfortable, his whole body stretched freely, and his energy and blood rose.
As the last movement was completed, Qi and blood surged in his body, and were quickly absorbed by the body, turning into nutrients that strengthened the muscles and bones.
He put away his fists and feet, showed a slight smile on his face, and contemplated intently.
[Skills]: Devouring (100%), Five Bird Hands (85%)
The proficiency level is 85%, which seems to have only increased by 29% compared to a month ago, but his understanding of "Five Bird Hands" has increased by more than two or three times.
This was because he had practiced the Five Forms alone and had not had time to try to smelt a furnace.
He is confident that in four or five days, when he has completely smelted the five shapes into one, his proficiency will definitely increase dramatically.
The only pity is that although the proficiency has been soaring, the improvement of the body's muscles and bones has almost stagnated.
Senior Brother said that the improvement of the realm of "Five Animal Hands" will not affect the transformation effect of Qi and blood.
According to Lin Yan's understanding, it is like weight-bearing fitness in the previous life. After a certain number of pounds is proficient, the effect will be almost non-existent. You must add pounds in time to further improve your strength.
His current body has adapted to the stimulation of "Five Bird Hands", so he can no longer grow muscles and bones.
"Tomorrow is the Monthly Review again, but I entered Longmen Hall a month and a half ago, and I will not participate in the assessment until the Monthly Review next month. In other words, I still have one month to practice "Five Birds Hands" to 100 % proficiency, give it a try!”
Lin Yan thought silently in his heart, showing a look of perseverance.
“The Restoring Spirit Pill is gone and the Cuifeng Powder is gone, so I have to go to Pang Tong to buy some more.
"I still have money. With this little savings, I can't afford to spend it like this. If I just sit and eat, everything will be empty. I don't know. I asked Pang Tong to help me find out where I can make money last time. Is there any news..."
After stretching his muscles for a while, Lin Yan slowly left while thinking.
However, after he left for about half a quarter of an hour.
In the dark shadows in the corner of the martial arts training ground, two figures slowly walked out.
The person on the left has a mixture of admiration, surprise, and regret on his face, and his expression is quite complicated.
He is as burly as a giant bear and is the owner of Longmen Pavilion. His surname is Pang and his name is Pang Yinlong.
The man next to him, who was sitting next to Pang Yinlong at the Riyuedanjing, had a similar appearance to him, but his body was much slimmer, like a skinny monkey.
He is Pang Yinlong's younger brother, and he is also one of the two pavilions besides the owner of Longmen Pavilion, Pang Meng.
Pang Meng spoke first: "How about it, brother? I'm willing to admit defeat. Do you believe it now?"
Pang Yinlong clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there are really disciples of Wuziyuan who can practice the "Five Animal Hands" in its true form, even if it is only in the shape of a deer, it is really incredible."
Pang Meng said: "That's right, big brother, you were also facing a real bear back then. After many times of guidance from experts, you were able to practice the true form of a bear. This kid had no one to guide him, but he was able to practice the true form out of thin air... Brother, you are much more powerful!"
After saying that, Pang Meng's body suddenly moved, as if sliding, moving half a foot to the right.
Sure enough, Pang Yinlong's big hand had already grabbed him, but he narrowly avoided it.
Pang Yinlong originally had a dark face, but seeing his fast movement, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Amon, your speed has improved recently, come on, come on, fight with me!"
Pang Meng rolled his eyes: "Are you cheating after losing the bet and want to take the opportunity to beat me up? You are a wealthy person, why do you care about me?"
Pang Yinlong's face darkened: "You just miss my pot of jade ice roasting! You deliberately plotted against me!"
"Obviously you made a bet with me, saying that it was impossible for any Wuziyuan disciple to practice "Five Birds Hands" better than you, and now you deny it?"
Pang Yinlong's face turned even darker: "That's all, it's just a pot of jade ice to burn, take it and take it!"
"Hey, thank you big brother!"
Pang Meng immediately chuckled and stood back beside Pang Yinlong.
Pang Yinlong looked at the direction Lin Yan was leaving, still sighing: "In the capital, the martial arts camp specializes in capturing five ferocious beasts for disciples to observe and learn from, as well as to provide guidance from experts.
"But even so, the number of people who can practice the true meaning is only one or two out of ten."
"This kid has probably seen a real deer, but he is able to reach this level with his martial arts intuition without any guidance. In terms of talent in the "Five Bird Hands", he is probably even more talented than Mitai!"
Mitai just started this month. In just over twenty days, he has already successfully transformed his energy and blood. He is a genius seed that he is very optimistic about.
Pang Meng curled his lips: "With this kind of character, how can he still compare with Mitai?
"If he was really a genius, he wouldn't have taken the Restoring Pill foolishly.
"Oh, they are all from common people, Mitai has a genius mind and is proud to face challenges;
"This Lin Yan is short-sighted and doesn't even have basic concentration.
"It's better now. The poison damaged the foundation. The road to martial arts has been cut off from now on. I'm afraid I will regret it in the future."
Pang Tong was Pang Meng's son.
Three days ago, Pang Meng saw Lin Yan practicing martial arts in the middle of the night at the martial arts training ground. He was shocked on the spot, so he specifically asked his son Pang Tong for information about Lin Yan.
I learned that he had bought the Restoring Pill, and after observing it for two more days, I regretfully discovered that Lin Yan had obviously taken the Restoring Pill, and a lot of it, and his foundation was completely destroyed.
Now that he was exhausted from taking drugs, he didn't tell his elder brother immediately. Instead, he set up a bet to steal his Yubingshao.
"You said it was fine, why did he take the Restoring Pill?"
"It's stimulating. Pang Tong said, this kid should have wanted to hoard the Soul Restoration Pills to make money.
"Maybe it's because Mitai's outstanding performance after he started playing has stimulated Lin Yan.
"It's also possible that it has something to do with a girl named Yu Qian from Wuziyuan. I heard that she and Lin Yan got started at the same time and got closer.
"Anyway, young people are very competitive and have a lot of love and affection."
Pang Yinlong shook his head: "It's a pity that this guy has talent, but he doesn't have the matching character."
Pang Meng curled his lips: "This Lin Yan, he is useless anyway, why not just inform Du Fushan and send him to Hutou Camp? It can be considered as using the remaining heat."
There are two pavilions in Longmen Pavilion, one is Pang Meng and the other is Du Fushan.
Pang Yinlong shook his head: "It would be a waste to die like this after practicing your true meaning. Zang Wei has been depressed since he broke his arm and is not suitable for teaching Wuziyuan.
"Since Lin Yan has practiced "Five-Animal Hands" very well, we might as well let him be an assistant teacher in the future to help Zang Wei teach "Five-Animal Hands" to the disciples of Wuzi Academy. This will also bring out his value."
Pang Meng clapped his hands: "That's a good idea! By the way, tomorrow is the first day of the month. Lin Yan is working so hard. He must be thinking of making a big splash tomorrow and entering Weiziyuan as a genius, beating Mitai."
Pang Yinlong nodded: "It's okay, give him a chance to make a name for himself, just like a whetstone to put some pressure on Mitai and the other disciples. After all, it's not long before this genius waiting battle. "
The two of them then turned around and left, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
