Chapter 13: Flying needle
"grabs..."
A cold light flashed, and a steel needle more than two inches long was deeply embedded in the solid wooden door, with the exposed end of the needle still vibrating.
Gao Xian examined the results of the battle and was quite satisfied with it.
Although the wooden door of his room was rough, it was made of pine wood. The door panel was three inches thick and very strong.
From ten steps away, a needle flew out of his finger and penetrated the wooden door an inch. Although its power was far less than that of the ice arrow and flame bomb spells, it was enough to penetrate the human body and cause damage.
The key is that the flying needle is simple and convenient to use, but it requires more practice to get the right point. There are also problems that need to be solved, such as how to carry such a long flying needle with you and how to use it as quickly as possible.
The Electric Photovoltaic Dragon Hand is indeed very useful, and simple movements like flicking fingers and sending needles flying are no difficulty for him.
Gao Xian practiced a few more times and soon mastered the trick.
Just then a fly landed on the door. He flicked his finger and the fly was nailed to death with a flash of cold light.
To be precise, the fly has turned into a pool of dirty blood.
The kinetic energy of the flying needle was too strong, and the fly was directly smashed to pieces under the impact and shock.
The cost of practicing needle throwing is very low, and it does not make a huge noise like magic. It will give people a great sense of accomplishment when the needle is ejected and hits the target accurately.
It’s like the smooth feeling of making a shot every time, and it’s so good that you can’t stop.
The pack of sewing needles that Gao Xian bought was quickly used up.
These flying needles either shot into the door or hit the wall. The huge ejection force also caused these flying needles to deform, break, and shatter, making them unusable.
Gao Xian had no choice but to go out again, but this time he failed to buy a sewing needle. There were many practitioners in Pegasus, but few of them could sew their own clothes.
More than sixty sewing needles were all the grocery store had in stock.
The grocery store owner also realized that Gao Xian didn't buy needles for any serious purpose. He reminded Gao Xian: "If you want to buy self-defense weapons, you should go to Lao Huang's weapons store. She has everything."
Gao Xian felt that there was some truth to this, and it would be more reliable to find a professional for such matters.
To his surprise, Lao Huang was not old at all, but looked very young and charming.
Old Huang looks to be about 40 years old. His facial features are symmetrical but not outstanding, and fine crow's feet can be seen at the corners of his eyes.
But she had plump red lips, a broad chest, a slender waist, and the bright red Taoist robe made her look quite charming.
"Little brother, are you the alchemist from the Zhu family?"
Old Huang couldn't help but smile when he saw Gao Xian coming in. Although there were many cultivators in Pegasus, there was only one as young and handsome as Gao Xian.
She had seen it once from a distance and had been impressed.
Today, I took a close look at Gao Xian's handsome face, and I like him more and more.
She approached Gao Xian affectionately and said, "I still don't know what to call you, little brother? How old are you this year?"
"Surname Gao, name Xian. Twenty-four years old."
Gao Xian has now completely integrated into this identity and behaves very calmly.
"At only 24 years old, he has already achieved great success in Qi training. He really has a bright future ahead of him."
Old Huang smiled and said, "My name is Huang Ying. I'm a few years older than you. Just call me Sister Ying."
"Sister Ying." Gao Xian doesn't like socializing, but he is very familiar with this kind of social model of brother and sister, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Huang Ying was very happy, "Don't worry, I won't let you call me that for nothing. I'll give you a discount on anything you want."
"What do you want to buy?"
Seeing Huang Ying so enthusiastic, Gao Xian relaxed a little.
The armory is not actually very big, but it has a complete range of weapons.
Swords, spears, halberds, bows and arrows, including various throwing knives, javelins, short-handled axes, etc., as well as various types of armor, etc.
In addition, there are some low-level magical tools, including swords, knives, and various shapes, placed on the display cabinet on the other side.
Gao Xian didn't see what he wanted, so he was a little embarrassed and whispered to Huang Ying: "I want some needle-like hidden weapons..."
Huang Ying was a little surprised. Many cultivators used hidden weapons, but few used needles as weapons.
The needle is too small and poses very little threat to the practitioner.
"Brother, I see you are at the second level of Qi training?" Huang Ying looked Gao Xian up and down and asked.
Gao Xian was a little surprised. The level of Qi training would not be marked on the forehead of a cultivator. This woman saw through that he was at the second level of Qi training at a glance. Her vision was really sharp! She was worthy of being the owner of a weapons shop!
He cupped his hands and praised: "Sister Ying has a sharp eye. I admire you."
“This is nothing. The first level for Qigong practitioners is to open the Qi orifices to draw Qi into the body, the second level is to strengthen the tendons and bones, and the third level is to cleanse the marrow and replace the blood.
"The first three levels of Qi training will have obvious characteristics. For example, your muscles are now tense and you are much thinner than normal. This is because the second level of Yijinzhuanggu, the guided vital energy is all transformed into the muscles and bones. You can tell it at a glance with the Qi-viewing technique..."
Huang Ying was quite knowledgeable, and seeing that Gao Xian looked confused, she gave him a brief explanation.
Gao Xian gained a lot. He knew his own situation, but he didn't know how others practiced.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The original owner's memory is also incomplete, and the original owner is an alchemist, so he may not really understand these things.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are all Qigong practitioners the same?"
Huang Ying said with some amusement: "Your master didn't tell you all this? The physical body is the foundation of a cultivator's practice. Before building the foundation, no matter what method a cultivator practices, the most important thing is to temper the body.
“Different methods only focus on different directions.
"Only when you reach the foundation building stage will there be a real difference in the path of cultivation..."
"Oh, thank you Sister Ying for your guidance." Gao Xian bowed very seriously to express his gratitude.
"These are common sense, nothing."
Huang Ying thought Gao Xian was really innocent and cute, she turned back to the counter and took out a silver wristband and handed it to Gao Xian: "The needle is too thin, no one uses this thing as a weapon.
"This wristband contains a set of White Plum Needles, a first-level magical weapon, a set of six flying needles, three inches long, made of white steel mixed with flowing silver, engraved with sharp runes. Do you think it's suitable?"
Open the wristband, and you will see a three-inch long silver needle placed in each of the six raised grooves arranged in an orderly manner.
He liked it as soon as he saw it. The material of the flying needle was good. Even if it was not driven by magic power, it would be an excellent hidden weapon.
"Sister Ying, how much is this set of flying needles?"
"Although the White Plum Needle is only of the first level, its quality is very good. After refining, you can wear heavy armor within ten steps. The White Plum Needle itself is extremely light and has low mana requirements."
Huang Ying smiled and said, "I have to sell it for twenty spirit stones anyway."
"oh……"
Gao Xian nodded. The price didn't seem very expensive. It was a complete set of magic tools. The key point was that he didn't have so many spirit stones.
He originally had thirteen low-grade spirit stones, and earned three spirit stones from Lao Wang, making a total of sixteen.
Huang Ying didn't wait for Gao Xian to speak, she took the initiative to say: "As siblings, of course we have to give you the best price. Fifteen spirit stones will be enough."
Gao Xian was a little surprised. He wondered if this woman had X-ray vision and could see how many spirit stones he had in his pocket.
Thinking of Lao Wang's fierce look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy it."
"Don't worry, brother. This price is absolutely worth it. If you don't want to use it anymore, I'll buy it back at the original price."
Huang Ying smiled even more happily when she saw that the deal was done.
Gao Xian was also very happy. With his current skills, he could always earn some spiritual stones. As for the medicinal materials he owed to Boss Zhu, he had already thought of a solution...
