Chapter 59: Unexpected Situation "Still want to run?" "Finally I found you!" After crossing this small hilly area of about three miles in radius, Li Dingguo came to a canyon covered with trees and weeds, and finally found the one-horned long-haired goat leader he was chasing. This one-horned goat monster must have noticed the human pursuers behind it, and immediately sped up, running towards the canyon entrance not far ahead. "Go!" Li Dingguo smiled coldly, inserted the spear in his hand into the ground beside him, quickly took off the spiritual bow and arrow on his back, and drew the bow and drew the arrow without thinking! At the moment when the opponent was about to rush into the canyon ahead, the sharp arrow had already shot into its neck from behind! The power of this spiritual weapon and sharp arrow is totally beyond the ability of a first-level monster with weak physical defense to withstand. I saw the arrow shot into the back of the monster's neck and directly penetrated its head. The arrow head even went through its entire head from back to front! "Sure enough, the Thunderbolt Arrow Technique, which has reached the minor success stage, is at least twice as powerful as the previous mastery stage!" To achieve the minor success level of combat skills, one must at least reach the second level of martial arts to be able to exert its corresponding power. Li Dingguo now has this profound understanding. If you only have the realm of combat skills but do not have the corresponding realm of cultivation, no matter how high your skill proficiency is, you will be powerless without the necessary resources.
The strength of combat skills is directly related to the martial artist's level of cultivation. It seems that to achieve the ultimate level of combat skills, one must at least reach the third level of martial arts strength in order to truly unleash its power. For example, among the comprehensive attributes of a warrior's physique, some laymen believe that as long as one is strong enough, one can be awesome. However, without the corresponding agility and mental attributes to support it, it would be strange if your body does not collapse immediately! "If we fight the Iron-Toothed Pig King again, one arrow will be enough to kill it." "My current cultivation level of the early second level of martial arts is really not on the same level as my previous peak period of the first level of martial arts." Li Dingguo put away the bow and arrow in his hand, put it back on his back, picked up the long spear spiritual weapon placed beside him, sighed in his heart, and then strode towards the entrance of the canyon in front of him. A moment later, when he arrived in front of the lush green canyon, Li Dingguo discovered something wrong here. It's nothing, it's just that this canyon, which doesn't look very big, has all kinds of plants growing so well. This is really unreasonable in this dry and rainless season. "Dragon tongue?" "Blood Magnolia?" As soon as he looked intently into the valley entrance, he couldn't help but scream out in surprise! I saw that about thirty meters inside the valley entrance, among the piles of rocks on both sides of this not very big canyon, there were actually quite a few magical herbs growing! Just the two kinds of magical medicines we see now, agave and blood magnolia, there are dozens of each! These two kinds of spiritual medicines seem to be of different ages, some are big, some are small, some are tall, and some are short. Although they are only low-level spiritual medicines, they are essential spiritual medicines for preparing first to third level Qi and blood soups. Li Dingguo had read and memorized a great many medical books and related records of spiritual herbs and roots in the library, and had already formed a mastery-level skill on the panel in his mind: medical skills. Although he had never actually performed it, even with the relevant theoretical knowledge he now possessed, his medical skills had been advanced to the level of proficiency. All the books collected by Zhang Xianzhong and placed in the library, including those miscellaneous books, have been firmly imprinted in his mind. It includes information on the identification and medicinal properties of various magical herbs and roots, as well as various medical theoretical knowledge. Although Li Dingguo had no practical experience, his relevant theoretical knowledge at least allowed him to become an ordinary doctor and junior pharmacist. Since the wild spiritual herbs and roots in this big world almost all grow in those primitive areas where few people go, Li Dingguo went out of the city several times in the past few days. Since he just wandered around the county town, he did not find any trace of spiritual herbs and roots. In the Ming Dynasty, the reason why various spiritual herbs and roots were so rare near human gathering places was mainly because the wild spiritual herbs and roots were in short supply in various human gathering places. Under normal circumstances, the medicinal effects of artificially cultivated spiritual herbs and roots are far inferior to those of wild ones.
There are all kinds of herbalists who appear near human settlements, digging up roots to collect this kind of treasures, making the number of spiritual herbs and roots, natural materials and treasures available on the market increasingly scarce. Li Dingguo has been out of the city several times and visited many places near the county town. It was also the first time he discovered the existence of spiritual herbs and roots in this canyon. "Something's wrong!" Li Dingguo was a little puzzled, thinking to himself, "This place is not far from the county town, and there are villages dozens of miles away. Has no one discovered this treasure land? I wonder if there are many spiritual herbs and roots growing here?" There must be a demon in the abnormal situation. Li Dingguo didn't believe that the scene before him had no unknown mysterious reason. He thought about it and felt that there were generally only two reasons for this unusual situation: one was that there were extremely powerful monsters and demons lurking here. Another reason is that a new spiritual land has recently appeared here, which has given birth to a lot of spiritual herbs and roots in a short period of time. Li Dingguo thought the first reason was unlikely. Because the monsters have very keen intuition, since the one-horned long-haired goat leader just now wanted to escape into this strange canyon, it proves that there are no powerful monsters in there that can pose a threat to it. Looking at the condition of this one-horned long-haired goat, we can tell that this small group of them has lived in this area for quite some time and it is impossible that they are new arrivals. Therefore, the first reason can basically be ruled out. Then, there is only the second reason left: this canyon, whose depth is currently unknown, should be a new spiritual place that appeared not long ago! He had read some history books about this big world, and there were records: This world is very magical. Every hundred years or so, a very small number of spiritual lands randomly grow. After all, in such a vast and magical world, there must be such large spiritual veins deep underground. Some historical books have recorded that spiritual veins are mysterious and often shift. Once the topography of a spiritual place undergoes a major change, the spiritual veins will shift. There is already evidence showing that in the vast Liaodong region where the Later Jin Tatars were located, there was a large spiritual vein that moved from an unknown place and took root there. This large spiritual vein has spawned countless spiritual grass pastures and spiritual roots in the Liaodong region in the past few decades, and has also strengthened countless populations of various monsters. Of course, the biggest beneficiaries were the Later Jin Tartars. This is also the biggest reason why the Later Jin Tatars have been able to rise rapidly in recent decades. After all, whether it is the training and cultivation of warriors or the training and reproduction of spiritual beasts and war horses, it requires a large amount of natural treasures, spiritual herbs and roots. The total population of the Later Jin Tatars in this big world is less than one percent of the total population of the Ming Dynasty, but their combat effectiveness has exceeded that of all the border troops of the Ming Dynasty. The large spiritual vein that was transferred to the Liaodong area for unknown reasons and took root played a great role in this. The newly formed spiritual land in front of Li Dingguo, judging from its current situation, should be just a small spiritual land formed by a small spiritual vein. "During this period, I have often wondered where I can get some magical herbs that can be used to prepare Qi and Blood Soup, so that I can practice the actual operation and verify my medical skills." “I didn’t expect the opportunity to come this way.” "If I can successfully prepare the Qi and Blood Soup, combined with the auxiliary effect of the monster meat, Xiao Douya and the others' initial cultivation resources can be completely solved." Thinking of this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but his eyes brightened up. He quickly gathered his thoughts and regained his composure. He didn't even care about the one-horned long-haired goat leader lying next to him. He used all his strength to activate the concealment and breath-concealing techniques, and sneaked carefully towards the depths of the mysterious canyon ahead. (End of this chapter)
