Chapter 175 Qi Refining Master

The hot midsummer is gradually passing, and God is kind and has not made things worse in this war-torn year.

Severe drought has not occurred for several years, which allows the common people to barely have a hot meal without being completely desperate.

In August, the weather started to get colder, so Song Changming bought some more clothes for Song's mother to prevent her from getting cold in the changing seasons.

On this day, in the courtyard.

Song Changming finished his daily exercise session with his upper body bare and covered in sweat.

Suddenly he exerted force and punched continuously in the air.

Due to the ultra-high kinetic energy, explosive fist winds are generated in the air, buzzing like a blower.

After hitting more than ten punches in a row, Song Changming stopped. Feeling the terrifying power just released, Song Changming was quite satisfied.

"New characteristic talents, development progress is good."

The upper limit of his physical strength is constantly being increased due to these physical characteristics.

In daily life, as long as he practices physical training, he can continue to tap into the potential of these physical characteristics.

The harder you work, the faster you develop features.

Especially in the early stages of acquiring new physical characteristics, he could feel his body getting stronger almost every day, gradually evolving in an increasingly outrageous direction, and racing all the way.

Compared with last month, he has almost stepped onto a small step in terms of strength and speed.

His reactions are faster, his coordination skills are stronger, his five senses are becoming sharper, and the toughness of his skin is constantly changing and strengthening.

This is not only the development of his three high-level physical characteristics, but also the result of the gradual condensation of his mental power.

In addition, Qi refining practice is also steadily accumulating.

Nowadays, Song Changming can be said to be in a period of rapid improvement in strength, and he enjoys the fulfilling sense of accomplishment brought by the continuous improvement of strength.

Just as Song Changming started to practice the sword technique, Song Pingan came back quickly from outside the door.

"Brother Song, I bought the red chalcedony you asked for, two pieces in total, and some other medicinal materials."

Song Ping'an said, taking down the large medicine box where all the medicinal materials were stored, and took out a medicine box from it.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Song Changming nodded.

Hearing that the treasure appraisal meeting in Nagang Town had reopened and a lot of high-quality body-refining medicinal materials had been produced, he asked Song Ping'an to go there and be responsible for the purchase.

Opening the medicine box, there were two bright red and warm chalcedony blocks inside, with a clear and transparent texture.

Song Changming took out these two pieces of top-quality chalcedony worth thousands of silver, threw them into his mouth and swallowed them like jelly beans.

"Ah, here, Brother Song, these are two pieces of red chalcedony. Is it okay to eat them like this?" Song Pingan was startled and asked worriedly.

The quality of the red chalcedony is so high, and its potency is so powerful that even a warrior in the extreme realm would take more than a month to digest a piece of it.

Who can bear to eat two pieces in a row?

"It's okay." Song Changming waved his hands indifferently.

In the past, he took this red chalcedony as if he were taking strong medicine. He would take at most one piece a month and did not dare to be greedy for more.

But now, his physical body has reached a certain level, and a piece of the highest quality red chalcedony actually doesn't have that good effect on him.

This forced him to take an extra piece. Although the medicinal power was wasted, but when he only pursued cultivation efficiency and was not short of money, waste was not a consideration for him.

Of course, the prerequisite for swallowing the best medicine like this is that he has a strong physical body that can withstand the doubled power of the medicine.

Otherwise, this behavior is really no different from seeking death.

"By the way, on the way back just now, I met a warrior named Jiang Maocai and sent me a war invitation." Song Ping'an suddenly remembered and took out the war invitation and said.

"Are you coming?" Song Changming was a little surprised.

Ever since he fought seven games in a row last month, winning all seven games and earning seventy gold, those challengers have all stopped.

I thought that these warriors had recognized his strength and would not dare to challenge him again.

Unexpectedly, not long after August, the challenge has continued again.

"Just say that I want to retreat and refuse to answer." Song Changming refused directly.

He had just swallowed two pieces of top-quality chalcedony worth a combined twenty thousand gold. How could he waste the power of this medicine to compete with a warrior he had never heard of?

"Okay." Song Pingan nodded.

The next night, after dinner.

Song's mother went to rest early after dinner, leaving only Song Changming and Song Ping'an in the courtyard.

There is a chessboard on the stone table and a bottle of sake.

After Song Changming made a move, Song Pingan scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously when he saw that the chess game was about to end.

"Think slowly, don't be in a hurry." Song Changming chuckled, poured wine for himself, and tasted it with ease.

Since Liu Dingsheng, his old chess friend, left, he taught Song Ping'an how to play chess at home during his free time to relieve his boredom.

Seeing Song Pingan struggling under his chess skills, Song Changming finally understood why Liu Dingsheng liked to play chess with him.

I have to say, eating food is a real stress reliever.

"Brother Song, you are still good, I lost again." Song Pingan shook his head.

"Haha." Song Changming smiled, ready to torture him again before stopping.

At this time, Dahuang Dabai, who was also taking a nap after eating and drinking, suddenly raised his neck, raised his ears, and looked outside the courtyard wall.

"Huh?" Song Ping'an also noticed the abnormality of the two dogs, and his expression became condensed.

The two dogs' sense of smell and hearing are far superior to humans, comparable to two living radars. They obviously noticed something and were awakened directly.

Often, in this situation, most of the time, there are blind thieves who come to the door, or other uninvited guests who visit late at night.

"Brother Song!" Song Ping'an looked over.

Song Changming also noticed it and put down the wine glass in his hand, "Dabai."

After swallowing the dragon ball, the big white dog was very smart. Even without Song Changming saying more, he already understood and went to the house to take out Song Changming's dragon-patterned knife.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.

This person wore a bamboo hat, dressed like a Jianghu person, and carried a long-handled sword on his back.

The blade was wide, straight and long, and was simply wrapped with a pile of patchwork pieces of cloth.

"It's you!" Song Ping'an recognized the uninvited guest and immediately explained to Song Changming, "This person is the one who sent the challenge yesterday."

The big yellow on the side was already roaring in a low voice full of hostility, as if he was ready to pounce and bite the other party at any time.

The fact that Dahuang reacted so violently obviously felt malice and threat from the other party.

"Friend, climbing over the wall late at night is not what a gentleman does." Song Changming frowned and said.

"I am not a gentleman. If you don't accept the challenge, then I can only come to your door myself." Jiang Maocai said slowly, while taking off the long sword wrapped in rags on his back and untying the cloth bit by bit.

His voice was not loud, a little low, and he sounded quite old.

"You broke in at night like this, it doesn't look like you want to fight with me, who sent you?" Song Changming's voice gradually became colder.

Jiang Maocai laughed and said, "It's not stupid. I wanted to kill you by taking advantage of the opportunity of the fight, but unfortunately you didn't give me a chance, and I didn't have much patience to wait, so I had to come tonight."

As he said this, he had untied the cloth, revealing a bloodstained long sword, which shone coldly under the moonlight.

There were some strange energy fluctuations around him, disturbing the night wind blowing around him.

Song Changming observed, and his face became more serious.

The energy fluctuations of the other party's spirit power.

He opened up the sea of ​​the underworld and knew how to use spiritual power, which meant that the other party was likely a Qi-refining warrior!

Before, he thought that Qi-refining warriors were rare in the martial arts world, but now one suddenly came to him.

Moreover, the other party was unknown. Song Changming had never heard of the name Jiang Maocai, and didn't know what name he had in the martial arts world.

Or maybe this Jiang Maocai was just a pseudonym.

The information about this person was limited, and his origin was mysterious, but this did not prevent him from making inferences.

"Are you sent by the second prince?" Song Changming asked aloud, but he was not in a hurry to take action. It would be best to ask clearly.

"." Jiang Maocai was speechless.

"This prince is in a high position and has great power, why is he so concerned about me, a commoner in the martial arts world." Song Changming continued to ask.

"Why is he so concerned? You should know in your heart." Jiang Maocai snorted coldly.

This statement basically confirmed the origin of this Qi training master, that he was a Jianghu follower sent by the second prince to deal with Song Changming.

"Since you can defeat Xue Boyan, it proves that you have also reached the Qi training realm. No need to say more, come on." Jiang Maocai stood on the courtyard wall with a knife in both hands, looking down at Song Changming, and said this.

He did not mean to underestimate Song Changming at all.

The world does not know, but he knows very well how important the battle was when Song Changming killed Xue Boyan, so he will not take it lightly when facing Song Changming.
