Chapter 61 Trivia At three quarters after 3 ., riding on his magical warhorse, Li Dingguo arrived at the small village that was used to temporarily house Xiao Douya and the others. As soon as we entered the only big house in the village, we saw Xiao Douya and the others standing in a line in the front yard. They watched Cao Yongxiang practicing the Tiger Roar Fist very seriously and listened to him explaining the precautions of practicing the Tiger Roar Fist. "Well, Xiangzi is a very reliable guy." "Look at the way he is practicing the Tiger Roar Fist with Xiao Douya and the others. His Tiger Roar Fist is almost at the stage of mastery. In a few days, he will be able to break through to the late stage of the first level of martial arts." Although Cao Yongxiang's aptitude for cultivation is not as good as Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier, it is not far behind. The most commendable thing about Cao Yongxiang is his calm character. In the team of young warriors under Li Dingguo, Cao Yongxiang's cultivation and combat effectiveness ranked second, only below Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo's arrival startled the people in the courtyard, and they all turned to look towards the gate. "ah!"
"This...this goat is so big? I'm afraid it must be two or three hundred pounds, right?" "It only has one horn! Is this the monster that the boss mentioned?" "Our boss is so amazing, isn't he? Not only was he able to hunt down such a large monster, but he also rode back on his horse carrying it in one hand!" "Now that we have the monster meat to eat, can't we start practicing Tiger Roar Fist right away today?"... Twenty or so little girls gathered around, chattering and shouting. There were two who were particularly brave and used their little hands to touch the fur of the monster and cried out in surprise. "Boss." Cao Yongxiang took the monster handed over by Li Dingguo on horseback, put it on the ground, and said, "You successfully got a monster today, which solves our urgent need." "With the nourishment of monster meat, Xiao Douya and the others can officially start practicing basic body-building boxing tomorrow." He then saw the rattan basket on Li Dingguo's back and asked curiously, "What's in the basket you're carrying?" "I smell a strong scent of herbs. Could it be..." Cao Yongxiang thought of something and quickly looked at Li Dingguo. "Xiangzi, you are right." Li Dingguo nodded, dismounted, and while taking off the rattan basket on his back, he explained to him, "I'm lucky today. While chasing this peak-level one-horned long-haired goat monster, I unexpectedly discovered a treasure land with many low-level spiritual herbs growing on it." "Unfortunately, they are all low-level spiritual herbs, and there are not many of them. They are only enough for a few of us to use a few times." "I have long wanted to get some spiritual herbs and roots and try to prepare the Qi and Blood Soup myself." "Now is the perfect time. Not only have we collected the herbs for the Qi and Blood Soup, but we have also collected the herbs for the Yang Shen Soup." "Two days ago, the two of us hunted down the evil spirits that were entrenched in this small village. In the final distribution of the spoils, we received a total of three soul beads." "Now that we have the relevant herbs for preparing the Yang Shen Soup, we can use them to prepare the Yang Shen Soup three times."
"I believe that with the help of the nourishing spirit soup, the blood and qi soup, and the monster meat, not only will some of Xiao Douya and the others be able to quickly become warriors, but even the two of us will be able to speed up our cultivation progress." According to the records in the medical books he had read, the auxiliary effect of Yangshen Decoction on the training of warriors was much stronger than that of Qixue Decoction. After all, this is a good thing that can nourish the soul. When a person's spiritual power becomes stronger, his comprehension will greatly increase, and he will be able to better sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and it will also be easier for him to understand martial arts techniques and corresponding knowledge. Even if the practitioner's physical condition remains unchanged, the progress of practice will increase significantly. "Boss!" "You even found all the herbs needed to prepare the nourishing soup?" He quickly took the rattan basket handed to him by Li Dingguo and looked through the various spiritual herbs and roots piled inside. Cao Yongxiang is very smart. Even if his learning ability is not as good as Li Dingguo, it is comparable to Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu. In addition to studying literature and practicing martial arts every day, he read all the miscellaneous books in the Wang Family Courtyard Library. Although he did not have a photographic memory like Li Dingguo, Cao Yongxiang's memory and understanding were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He also basically memorized the descriptions and illustrations of various natural treasures, magical herbs and roots mentioned in medical books and miscellaneous books. After checking the various herbs in the vine basket, he looked up in surprise and said, "That's right, Boss, the spiritual herbs and roots you brought back are all the spiritual medicines for the Qi and Blood Soup and the Nourishing Spirit Soup. They are enough for us to use for ten days or half a month!" "Haha... That's good now. The training resources that Xiao Douya and the others have obtained are better than what we got from the king before!" "I don't know if I can quickly break through to the late first level of martial arts, or the second level of martial arts, after taking the nourishing spirit soup twice?" As he finished speaking, his face was full of anticipation. During this period of time, Cao Yongxiang felt that the gap between himself and Li Dingguo was getting bigger and bigger. Now there was less and less way he could help, and he felt some pressure in his heart. "Okay, let's first deal with and pack up these things I brought back." Li Dingguo turned to look at the little girls who gathered around him and shouted to the two leading girls, "Xiao Douya, Hongmei!" "Take everyone to find some kitchen utensils, such as knives, large basins, salt and other things, and take them directly to the old well nearby." "Cao Yongxiang and I will help you deal with this monster first. Keep the part that you will eat tonight, and pickle the rest with salt, seal it, and store it in a cool cellar." "With these monster meats to nourish you, you can officially practice the Tiger Roar Fist." "From now on, don't be stingy with monster meat. Eat as much as you can. Otherwise, the monster meat will go bad after it exceeds its shelf life, which would be a waste." At most in half an hour, it would be evening, and Li Dingguo had to rush back to Dingbian City, so he had to seize the time and urge everyone to move faster. "Okay, big brother." "Got it, boss." Xiao Douya and Hongmei quickly agreed, turned around and took the twenty or so little girls here and left quickly, heading in different directions. They had to prepare everything needed to deal with the monster as quickly as possible, and then take them to the ancient well on one side of the courtyard for Li Dingguo to use. Cao Yongxiang was asked to carry the monster to the well. Li Dingguo also came here with the big black horse. He used buckets to draw two buckets of well water, one for the big black horse to drink and the other for washing it.
After a while, after taking care of the big black horse, he led it to the side and let it rest there by itself. Returning to the well, Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang used various tools hastily brought by Hongmei and others to begin dissecting the one-horned long-haired goat. Their eyesight and knife skills are far superior to those of the soldiers in the logistics camp. Even though it is their first time doing this kind of work, they are inevitably a little unfamiliar with it, but it is not difficult for them. It has to be said that for a strong warrior, as long as he is willing, he can easily learn these cooking skills and get better and better at them. As the knife flashed, the fur, bones and flesh of the approximately three hundred-pound level one peak monster were quickly separated. Then they were cut into qualified shapes of food ingredients and placed in nearly ten large porcelain basins brought by Xiao Douya and others. As Li Dingguo and his companion became more and more skilled, the monster was quickly dealt with. Li Dingguo did not discard the peeled monster fur, but planned to save it for future use after processing it. He planned to take the furs of monsters to the city after collecting enough and find an experienced leatherworker to make them into leather armor suitable for warriors. In a warrior's battle, if there is no spiritual weapon armor to use, even if equipped with monster leather armor, the defense is much stronger than the warrior suit on Li Dingguo. Warrior's uniform is only suitable to be used as a warrior's daily wear, and is not qualified to be used as combat uniform. Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang will have leather armor and other military equipment distributed by Zhang Xianzhong, but Xiao Douya and the others here do not have any armor. The leather armors that he planned to hire someone to make at a high salary were all for Xiao Douya and the others. As for money, Cao Yongxiang stayed here for the past two days and led Xiao Douya and the others to clean up the landlord's mansion. They also found a lot of hidden gold, silver and copper coins, enough for Li Dingguo to use temporarily. After dealing with the monster they brought back, Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang took out the rattan basket that contained various herbs while there was still some time before evening, and processed them separately according to the requirements for processing the herbs in the medical books for easy preservation. After finishing these chores, it was already evening. He then said goodbye to Xiao Douya and the others who were reluctant to leave, rode his big black horse out of the courtyard, and quickly returned to Dingbian City. (End of this chapter)
