一间破旧的茅草屋,空气中弥漫着刺鼻的恶臭.浓浓的黑烟不断涌出,仿佛这个地方着火了.
陈洛蹲在一个简陋的柴火炉前,用棕叶扇拼命地煽风点火.刺鼻的烟雾,夹杂着草药的恶臭,令人难以忍受,连狗都不敢靠近.
灶内的丹药是那个原来的'大脑'留下的,从那时起,陈洛就一直在使用它.
他的武术训练的有效性在很大程度上归功于这些药膏的帮助.无论如何,这些成分并不是特别稀有——只需一点钱就可以买到一整批.真正的关键在于草药的精确比例和炼制技术.这才是公式的真正核心.
片刻之后,药膏就准备好了.
陈洛用一双钳子将陶罐从炉子里抬起来,放在一边.旁边放着一块专门为处理药膏准备的布.
"这味道太浓了,"他咕哝道.
即使已经使用了将近一个月,陈洛还是受不了那股味道.每次他煮药时,他都会用毛巾捂住鼻子,但即使这样也不足以完全堵住它.他的眼睛经常因烟雾的刺痛而流泪.不过,如果这意味着提升他的实力,这种不适是他可以忍受的.
等了一会儿,陶罐冷却后,陈洛从旁边拿起一根竹棍,开始用力搅拌里面的东西.
一个圆圈.然后是另一个.
他不停地搅拌,直到混合物变稠成糊状,然后小心翼翼地将其涂抹在药布上.
十多分钟后,新鲜制作的药膏已经准备好了.把它们放在架子上晾干后,陈洛立即离开了院子,一路走到了河岸边,终于松了一口气,开始深呼吸新鲜空气.
"再吃一周的药,我应该能突破."
喘口气后,陈洛坐在一块石头上,琢磨着自己这三天来取得的进展.
他的三叔走已经五天了.
青雅县的叛乱也结束了整整一周.现在,那个地区几乎没有什么活动.根据旅商的一些消息,青雅县的叛乱已经被镇压,许多人已经死亡.县城现在处于戒严状态,任何人都不允许自由进出.
陈洛的修为在内修中也达到了圆满.在皇家大脑的帮助下,他能明显感觉到,自己正处于突破的边缘.
今天,他专门赶来制作丹药,以确保更顺利的突破,希望额外的药力能在这个过程中帮助支撑他.
半个小时后,陈洛回到了院子里.
这时,药膏干燥的气味已经减弱了.陈洛走过来,取下两块厚厚的糊状物,一脸坚定,一股压在自己的小腹上,另一块压在他的背上.
膏体的力气瞬间蔓延开来,陈洛感到一股温暖在他身上流淌.
他很快就进入了位置并开始练习他的拳头.
一次.
两次.
随着黑虎拳的每一次执行,他的身体开始发热,血液和气的流动加快了.修炼他的功法,在他不知不觉中,正在逐渐向更高的层次发展.
黑虎拳的掌握程度,可以达到锻骨的程度.
这个层次的巅峰,曾经被马奎子达到,当时,朝廷不得不派出一名将军级高手来对付他.陈洛现在也触及到了这个层次.
"就是这种感觉,"他想.
陈洛沉浸在这种状态中,不停地练习着自己的拳头.他体内能量循环的速度越来越快.曾经的拇指粗细在不知不觉中逐渐变得更加强壮.这一变化让陈洛的拳头更加有力,每一击都发出尖锐的爆炸声,仿佛划破了空气.
他的拳头如雷,他的速度如闪电.
现在,陈洛的每一个动作都像一只真正的凶猛老虎,从他身上散发出杀意.隐约间,陈洛感觉自己仿佛变成了一只在山林中跳跃的老虎,周围都是猎物.他小腹和背部的药膏现在已经化作能量,与他的血气融合,使他达到了"内外合一"的状态.
'almost.'
chen luo could feel that he had reached his limit.
with his innate talent, a breakthrough seemed nearly impossible. the "trash" that ma quezi had called him was not just empty words.
"switch to the royal brain!"
knowing that he lacked that slight spark of inspiration, chen luo decisively activated the "external brain." he had only used these brains the night before while sleeping, and normally, they would need rest during the day. however, chen luo couldn't afford to care about that now—if he didn't break through this time, he didn't know how many more days would be wasted in the future.
as the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot; if you hesitate, the momentum fades."
roar!!
as soon as the royal brain was activated, chen luo immediately identified the source of the problem and locked onto the breakthrough point. then, all of his internal energy surged toward it.
with a crisp "crack," chen luo's entire aura shifted. the bones in his body changed at a visible speed. a series of clear sounds echoed from within him as his body grew half an inch taller, his muscles condensing and compressing like blocks of rock, harnessing explosive power.
he had undergone a complete transformation, entering the third realm of martial arts.
bone forging!
with a single breakthrough, his momentum soared.
chen luo couldn't help but roar loudly, his voice spreading like sound waves.
anyway, the place he lived was secluded, and there weren't many people around during the day. the village elder's house, which rented the place to him, was far away. the nearby thatched huts were occasionally occupied by some vagrants, and wild dogs made nests inside. however, when chen luo was making the medicinal paste earlier, the smoke had driven the dogs away, so now he could act freely without much concern.
after the roar, his blood and qi indeed became much smoother.
the oppressive feeling brought by the breakthrough had lessened significantly, and the energy within him gradually settled down.
standing in the courtyard, chen luo raised his hand and glanced at it.
he could sense the energy flowing within him. compared to the level of internal practice, the internal energy after bone forging was much more violent. not only that, his punching power had even seeped into his bones, making his strikes several times stronger than before.
calculating based on the strength of his junior sister, he mian,
it was hard to say now.
according to eunuch wei, he could take on fifty opponents without a problem.
after thinking for a moment, chen luo walked over to the withered tree at the edge of the courtyard and stopped. he redirected his internal energy. the power flowed like water, moving through his meridians, and finally gathered in his fist.
boom!!
with a punch, the withered tree in front of him instantly snapped apart. shattered wood chips flew everywhere, and the upper half of the tree trunk was sent flying, crashing into the stone mill behind with a thunderous sound.
chen luo took a step forward, reached out to move the broken tree, and used his finger to probe the core of the tree. he found that the inner part had all been shattered into powder by the force of his punch.
black tiger heart rip.
it was considered perfected.
"it's time to go back."
reigning in his power, chen luo turned around and gazed toward the location of qingya county.
he had fled in disgrace earlier because his strength was insufficient. now that his strength was on par, it was time to return for revenge.
first, he would settle the score with the magistrate of qingya county, and second, he would seek out more precious human brains.
for ordinary people, chaotic places were to be avoided at all costs. but in chen luo's eyes, the more chaotic the place, the better. because chaos meant death, and when people died, there was no shortage of 'brains.' with good luck, he might even find a few genius brains that were similar to the royal brain.
he was going to cultivate immortality, and without enough genius, how could he possibly achieve it?
