For the next few days, everything seemed normal.
The government confirmed that Zhang Shulong had been killed by the Black Wind Stronghold, but did not send troops to capture the bandits. Instead, they posted wanted posters of many bandits, including Zhao Baichuan, the second-in-command of the Black Wind Stronghold, and Ding Baiyu, the third-in-command, on the walls inside and outside the city gates.
As Lin Xiaofei passed by the city gate, he saw the wanted posters. The posters looked very realistic and could be recognized at a glance from a distance. Below the posters was a line of text that read: "A reward of 1,500 taels of silver for killing Zhao Baichuan, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for killing Ding Baiyu."
Although the reward was high, the onlookers just shook their heads.
Black Wind Stronghold's infamous reputation was well-known throughout Qingshan Town.
Moreover, Black Wind Stronghold has a leader who is said to have the strength of a third-rate martial artist. No one dares to provoke him, especially since the mere mention of a third-rate martial artist instills fear in many.
Yesterday, Zhang Shuhu, the second son of the Zhang family, rushed back to Qingshan Town. He only burned some paper money for Zhang Shuhu. As for all the businesses in Qingshan Town, he suspended all operations and then quietly left Qingshan Town.
As time went by, half a month passed, and the Zhang family's matter was discussed by many people in Qingshan Town for a long time.
However, Lin Xiaofei didn't sit idle during these two weeks. He read through the entire picture book for recognizing characters, and now there are no characters he doesn't recognize.
Meanwhile, while cultivating the Green Peak Leg technique, he consumed three hundred herbs grown in the spatial bead, which accelerated the cultivation progress of the Green Peak Leg technique. Now, his Green Peak Leg technique has reached the perfect stage.
The perfected Qingfeng Leg technique doubled the strength of his legs compared to before, and the power of his leg strength was also significantly different when he circulated it.
Lin Xiaofei steadied himself, took a deep breath, slowly circulated his leg strength, and then slammed his legs into the ground.
Bang!
Black soil splashed up, and Lin Xiaofei's feet sank into the black earth on the ground of the space bead.
"The power of the leg strength manifests externally, doubling its power!"
Once the Green Peak Leg technique is mastered to perfection, one can circulate the leg strength and exert force to form a powerful leg energy.
This surge of leg strength, activated in the time it takes to breathe, can be described as an instantaneous burst. The power generated by this leg strength can severely injure an ordinary adult.
If Qin Hong, who taught him the Green Peak Leg technique, knew that he had already mastered it, he would be shocked. After all, Qin Hong had only cultivated the Green Peak Leg technique to the minor completion stage.
Lin Xiaofei slowly relaxed his legs and finished his exercise.
Although his Green Peak Leg technique was already perfected, he maintained a beginner's level while chopping wood, keeping a diligent and studious attitude so that he would have an explanation if anyone asked about it later.
During the break, Lin Xiaofei saw that Zhang Erniu was asleep, so he went directly into the spatial bead, walked to a corner, squatted down, and opened the package.
The Dewdrop True God Method, the Simple Record of a Hundred Medicines, and ten taels of silver appeared before him.
Since finishing reading the Picture Book of Literacy, his understanding of characters has become deeper. He now knows that the Dewdrop True God Method is a cultivation technique for immortality, while the Hundred Herbs Compendium is a medicine-making technique.
He could cultivate both manuals, but Lin Xiaofei only took out the Dewdrop True God Technique and did not take the Hundred Herbs Compendium.
Alchemy requires specific herbs, an alchemy furnace, and a source of fire, among other things. Without these, he cannot make medicine at all, and he cannot afford them at present.
Whether it's specific herbs, a refining furnace, or a source of fire, everything costs money, and the cost is very high. Although he had ten taels of silver in front of him, it was simply not enough.
Now, the only thing to do is to cultivate the Dewdrop True God Method.
Lin Xiaofei read through the Dewdrop True God Method again, much more attentively than the first time.
This time, he read it from beginning to end, and he recognized every single word. He also understood the cultivation methods within.
"The Dew True God Method is a method of cultivating immortality and refining qi. It involves collecting morning dew, holding it in the mouth, and letting it enter the abdomen, thus circulating throughout the body. Only when the spirit is sufficient and the qi is full can the first wisp of spiritual energy be generated."
The first wisp of spiritual energy is one; one gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, and three paves the path of cultivation.
Lin Xiaofei understood the meaning of the first page perfectly.
Next, the text begins to explain the true cultivation methods, how to collect morning dew, how to enter the body with consciousness, and how to be full of spirit and energy, thereby generating the first wisp of spiritual energy.
One step after another, more than ten times more than the steps he took to cultivate the Green Peak Leg.
Just as Lin Xiaofei was reading the last page and considering how to cultivate according to the steps of the method, he saw a cultivation notebook on the last page.
The cultivation notes contain a convenient cultivation method for the Dewdrop True God Technique, a cultivation method summarized by later generations based on their experience. As long as the first wisp of spiritual energy is generated, the previous steps can be skipped, and one can focus on cultivating qi, which will also generate spiritual energy.
Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed. If it weren't for his cultivation notes and insights, he probably would have continued to cultivate according to the original steps, which would have wasted a lot of time.
However, according to the steps in the book, the condition of collecting morning dew was something he didn't have the opportunity to go outside the city to collect morning dew, given that he was busy chopping wood every morning and was a handyman disciple.
After reading it through once, Lin Xiaofei thought about it carefully and found that there were still some parts he didn't understand, so he read it again from the beginning.
After reading it five times in a row, and confirming that he truly understood the contents, he slowly put down the manual.
The method of the Dew True God Technique mainly involves collecting morning dew, absorbing it into the body, swallowing it, and letting it circulate throughout the body. When the body is nourished and opened up by the dew to a certain extent, the first wisp of spiritual energy will naturally grow within the body.
The only drawback is that the morning dew disappears when the sun rises, and the dew exposed to the sun cannot be used for cultivation; otherwise, the trace of yang fire contained in the dew will harm the body.
"What method should I consider to cultivate immortal techniques?"
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a while, and looking at the Dew True God Technique in front of him, he had an idea.
The next day, as dawn broke, Lin Xiaofei quietly got up alone and walked out of the Medicine Pavilion from the backyard.
After leaving the Medicine Pavilion, Lin Xiaofei ran quickly all the way to the east gate of Qingshan Town and went out of the city.
Outside the city gate, there is a shallow river more than ten meters wide. On the other side of the river, there are many scattered houses, all inhabited by people from outside the town.
The rows of small mud houses stand in stark contrast to the buildings in the town, making the gap between the rich and poor immediately apparent.
The mud houses were dilapidated and old, and they were connected to each other by a small street.
Lin Xiaofei jogged across the small bridge over the shallow river, glanced at the rows of dilapidated earthen-tiled houses, and quickened his pace before the sun came out.
The dirt road was uneven, but fortunately Lin Xiaofei had a very stable stance; otherwise, he would definitely have fallen while running at high speed.
After crossing the dirt street, turn left and walk for more than a hundred meters, you will soon arrive at the riverbank on the other side, on a path overgrown with weeds.
