The Fourth Volume: Roar of the Red Tiger Chapter 9: The Barbarous Land

  Ling fruit that increases internal energy?

  Teng Qing Shan knew very little about spiritual fruits and demonic beasts.

  Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "Originally, I thought you were eating the Lingguo to increase your inner strength. It turns out it's actually a Lingguo that transforms your meridians! Now, we still need to find a way to get the Lingguo that increases inner strength!" Although it was a bit troublesome, Zhuge Yuanhong felt joyful in his heart instead.

  Because...

  Lingguo arrives, and Teng Qing Shan can enter Xiantian.

  "Master, what are the spiritual fruits that increase internal energy?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  Zhuge Yuanhong was shocked and said: "There are many miscellaneous books in the Wu Ge, haven't you seen them?"

  Seeing Qing Shan's expression, he understood and smiled in detail, "Increase the inner strength, expand the dantian to the limit of the heavenly spirit fruit. There are six known ones. Like purple ice heart, bamboo section spirit fruit, red fruit and so on, these six are all increasing internal strength, belonging to the general category of heavenly spirit fruit. The one you ate that can transform the meridians is a precious spirit fruit."

  Hong Qingshan was shocked.

  Good heavens! There are actually six kinds of spiritual fruits that increase internal energy. This Nine Provinces' land is much more wonderful than the previous world's.

  "Of course, these six spiritual fruits have slightly different effects! For example, the Purple Ice Heart, after eating it, your dantian will reach its limit, but at the same time, your inner energy will also be affected, containing icy cold air." Zhuge Yuanhong explained in detail, "And the Crimson Fruit, after eating it, will make your inner energy contain intense fiery heat!"

  Zhuge Yuanhong mentioned this, and smiled: "Of course, you are now a postnatal strongman. The inner energy does not have many distinctions such as heat or cold. Eating anything is fine. However, once eaten, the method to cultivate the prenatal true yuan in order to reach the prenatal stage must be the same as that of the Lingguo family."

  Teng Qing's eyebrows furrowed.

  Almost all martial artists' inner energy is the same, without color, and no distinction between hot and cold.

  However, the congenital true yuan will have color after reaching a certain level! For example, that 'ghost fox' Sima Qing, his congenital true yuan is gray. Different cultivation methods will make the congenital true yuan contain different characteristics. Like the method of "You Yue Jian Dian", after reaching the extreme, it should contain the characteristics of coldness and iciness.

  "Green Mountain, you are going to cultivate the 'Ghostly Moon Spear Classic', so in the future your innate True Essence will contain icy cold properties. It's best for you to find the 'Purple Ice Heart'. Eating the Purple Ice Heart will also make your innate True Essence even colder and more powerful! However, finding this Purple Ice Heart is not easy. I reckon no sect has it in stock."

  "Seeking the Purple Ice Heart, you'll need to traverse the Nine Provinces' vast lands, heading north all the way to the Northern Grasslands. Then, cross the grasslands and proceed to the North Sea... Only in the North Sea can you hope to find the Purple Ice Heart! Once plucked, if not consumed within a month, it will dissolve into water. This is also why almost no sects have any stock."

  Some fruits and things will rot if they are placed for a long time.

  Moreover, these spiritual fruits are all very difficult to pick, so generally only when necessary will the sects expend great effort to pick them.

  "I'm from Yangzhou and heading to Beihai. The journey is long..." Zhuge Yuanhong continued to say.

  Teng Qing Shan shook his head after hearing that: "Master, I don't need the 'Purple Ice Heart', I want to take that Crimson Fruit!"

  "Zhu Guo?" Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Teng Qingshan in surprise, "Qingshan, that Zhu Guo contains extremely hot true yuan. Aren't you cultivating the 'You Yue Gun Dian'? The innate true yuan cultivated from the 'You Yue Gun Dian' is of the cold attribute. And yet you're eating Zhu Guo. The mutual struggle between cold and heat will not be beneficial for you."

  "Master!" Teng Qing Shan said repeatedly, "The 'You Yue Jian Dian' (Mysterious Moon Sword Classic), I only borrowed from. Borrowed the method of achieving 'Real Dan' and 'Golden Dan' from the 'Void Dan' in the dantian. As for the method of circulating qi in the meridians... I won't learn it."

  The human body has eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians.

  Because even if one is a congenital strongman, it's unlikely that all of them can be opened up. Moreover, instead of spending a lot of time opening up all the meridians, it's better to focus on cultivating a few meridians. Focusing on these few meridians can make them wider and more unblocked. For example, focusing on cultivating the 'yin cold' attribute meridian.

  Afterwards, the innate true yuan will also contain yin cold attributes.

  Khentii Mountains are different!

  His meridians had already been opened, and he had also seen the operation method of "Yuè Yuè Qiāng Diǎn". For him, it was a waste to open other meridians. It's better to learn the method of "Mǎng Niú Dà Lì Jué". The ninth layer of "Mǎng Niú Dà Lì Jué" relies on the full force absorption of the eight extraordinary meridians. Eight meridians absorb at the same time, and the speed is not slower than the speed of "Yuè Yuè Qiāng Diǎn" absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  ……

  The so-called mental method.

  Actually, the first step is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into internal strength. Then, the internal strength combines with 'spirit' to transform into prenatal true yuan. In the elixir field, from virtual elixir, slowly cultivate to 'real elixir', finally reach 'golden elixir'!

  For Qing Yun Shan, "You Yue Jian Dian" is the last one, the transformation process of Xū Dān, Shí Dān and Jīn Dān is worth learning.

  Of course, the experiences and insights of those seniors are even more important!

  "Isn't studying?" Zhuge Yuanhong was also a super strongman, understanding what Ceng Qing Shan meant. "Not studying is not a big deal! But... why do you want to eat the Zhu fruit? Is it because the surname Jiu is better than the surname You?"

  "Master, I've studied the 'Blazing Fire Gun Technique' and created the 'Five Styles of Blazing Fire'. Now, I'm researching how to merge the 'Five Styles of Blazing Fire' into one single gun technique! As a disciple, I think that this one technique, when used with the scorching hot Xuan Tian True Yuan, will have even greater power." Teng Qing Shan said.

  Zhuge Yuanhong was shocked: "The Five Styles of Fierce Fire can be merged into one move?"

  "Good, good!" Zhuge Yuanhong sighed, "Your 'Liang Huo Wu Shi', although I haven't seen it before. But I've also heard Ji Hong say that you defeated the master of the Heavy Sword Sect, Sima Feng, with just two moves." With Zhuge Yuanhong's strength, he could fully imagine the power of Liang Huo Wu Shi.

  This powerful move is still trying to be broken down and merged into one!

  It's just Zhuge Yuanhong, asking himself, in a few years' time, it's probably hard to achieve.

  "Very well!" said Zhuge Yuanhong, "Then you can go find that red fruit on Green Mountain!"

  "May I ask, Master, where is this Zhu Guo?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  Zhuge Yuanhong continued, "Zhu Guo, compared to Zi Bing Xin, has an even shorter preservation time. Even if it's picked and placed in a jade box, it will start to rot after fifteen days! I estimate that no sect has stockpiled it, so we must go pick some. According to my knowledge, there is Zhu Guo in the southern barbarian wilderness!"

  "Nan Huang?" Teng Qing Shan showed a hint of interest.

  Nanman, Nanhuang, Manhuang... These few words represent the same place. A place that makes many warriors turn pale at its mention.

  "Hmm, the place where the Zhu fruit grows is about 800 miles deep into the wilderness. There are quite a few of them there. Of course, it's extremely difficult to pick them." Zhuge Yuanhong said, "You go to Wu Ge now and find Wu Zhanglao to get a map of the wilderness. Oh, and bring two books about Ling fruit and demon beasts too."

  "Yes, Master."

  Hong Qingshan immediately left the study.

  ……

  The rain outside continued to fall ceaselessly, with cold air rushing towards him. Holding an umbrella and walking between heaven and earth, Teng Qing Shan hurried towards Wu Gorge.

  ******

  A cup of tea, Teng Qing Shan put his umbrella outside the study door and stepped into the study.

  "Give me the map of the barbarian land." Zhuge Yuanhong ordered.

  "Yes, Master."

  Hong Qing Mountain took out a thick, folded sheepskin map. Zhuge Yuanhong unfolded it and spread it on the floor of the study. The barbarian map was completely unfolded, about four feet (one meter) long and two feet (half a meter) wide, with many locations detailed on it. However, this map only introduced part of the barbarian region.

  "Qing Shan, this barbarous terrain map, introduces the general geography of deep into the barbarous land over two thousand miles." Zhuge Yuanhong took out a brush and drew a circle at one point on it. "Here, is called 'Tie Bi Hou Shan', which is a place in the barbarous land where there is 'Zhu Guo'."

  After marking it, Zhuge Yuanhong stacked up the map and handed it back to Chen Qingshan.

  "Green Mountain! In this Iron Arm Ape mountain, the famous one is this demon beast 'Iron Arm Ape'. The strength of a single Iron Arm Ape is not strong, far inferior to the 'Red Scale Beast'. But even if it's not strong, it's still a demon beast. It has almost the same strength as a top master on the Earth List. Most importantly, in this mountain, there is a large group of Iron Arm Apes!" said Zhuge Yuanhong.

  Hong Qingshan was shocked.

  A troop of monkeys?

  "It's just that the strong ones are born, to take the red fruit. Don't dare to come hard! Green Mountain, there is also an introduction about 'Iron Arm Ape' in the book about demon beasts. Take a good look and then go to the Savage Wilderness! Remember... taking the red fruit requires brains, not brute force." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled faintly, "This matter, whether many people or few people go, it's useless. So, it's up to you yourself."

  "Yes, Master."

  Hong Qingshan was not afraid at all.

  It's obvious that in Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes, the strong players of "The Land List" can also pick up Zhu Guo as long as they use their brains and are careful.

  "When are you going to set off?" asked Zhuge Yuanhong.

  "Tomorrow." Teng Qing Shan replied.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan was a man of his word, and he didn't drag things out. That day, Teng Qing Shan told his sister Qing Yu and cousin 'Qing Hu' about it, and that afternoon, he also went to buy a cyan-maned horse! When going out, Teng Qing Shan didn't want to ride the "Black Fiery Horse", one of the three great dragon horses, and show off.

  The black horse was seen by people, and its identity was naturally exposed.

  The rain didn't stop until nightfall.

  "Inconceivable! It's truly inconceivable." Teng Qing Shan put down the book that introduced the demonic beasts, "So there are so many demonic beasts in the nine states. Some strong, some weak. So...the dragon in the Azure Cold Pool is actually this terrifying!" After finishing the book, Teng Qing Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

  The green dragon in the icy pool is much more frightening than the red-scaled beast.

  In the book, there is a passage that says: The Purple Light Python, most of which live around the "Purple Light Cold Iron", when young, the Purple Light Python is three zhang long and has average strength. When fully mature, it reaches eight zhang in length. It can spit out white mist, freeze and shatter rocks, even innate strong ones need to hide. When the Purple Light Python survives for many years, it will slowly grow, when it reaches ten zhang in length, a silver horn will grow on its head. From python to dragon. Becoming the Purple Light Dragon is the top-level demon beast! At that time, it can spit out black mist, even if an innate strong one encounters the black mist, they will instantly turn into powder! Even an innate Golden Elixir strong one, facing this top-level demon beast, may lose their life if they are not careful!

  "Good luck." Teng Qing Shan was frightened after a moment, "The green dragon in the Bihuan Pool is probably about 12 zhang long! If I'm touched by the black fog, I'll be done for."

  That time, Teng Qing Shan was in the water.

  The Azure Cold Pond's dragon spewed out black fog, freezing the pond water. Qing Mountain was frozen inside an ice block. The low temperature that Qing Mountain endured was the condensation point of the ice block, not the lowest temperature of the black fog. Fortunately...

  "Judging from the book, the purple light python can catch up with the red scale beast. The python transforms into a Jiaolong, and its strength increases by another level." Teng Qingshan sighed secretly, "If one day, that Jiaolong escapes from Bihantang, rampaging across the land. I don't know how many people will die."

  Put away the book immediately.

  "Alright, let's take a rest. We'll set off early tomorrow!" Tan Qing Shan once again sat cross-legged in stillness, his heartbeat slowing down to an extremely weak state, his vital signs dropping to the lowest limit.
