Chapter 55 Sharpening the Knife
"This effect is truly miraculous. The snake gall is worth it!"
Feeling the effect of the snake gall, Jin Renfeng was overjoyed.
Knowing that the snake gall has the effect of enhancing internal strength, he sat down quietly and meditated to circulate his internal energy.
This exercise was very different from usual. Not only did my internal strength increase, but when I circulated the Qi, the meridians and acupuncture points that were usually difficult for Qi to reach were unobstructed.
After a careful inspection, he found that this snake gallbladder saved him a month's hard work.
It should be noted that Jin Renfeng is a gifted person. After practicing for one month, his internal energy increases more than that of others in a year. In other words, just this one snake gall can increase his internal strength by nearly one year.
Jin Renfeng was overjoyed and cheered loudly.
When practicing inner strength through meditation, one should avoid having distractions, or being overly sad or overly happy.
But at this moment he was shouting with joy, and the breath in his body was still flowing continuously without any obstruction.
"We should collect more treasures like this."
Jin Renfeng's eyes gleamed with a spark, and a hint of greed arose in his heart.
. . . . . .
For two consecutive days, Jin Renfeng went to the valley to search for and hunt down the giant snake.
But in the end, all efforts were in vain.
Although the giant snake was huge in size, it moved very fast. In addition, the terrain in the valley was complex and there were overgrown weeds, so the giant snake moved in it like a fish in water.
Even if Jin Renfeng tried his best to use Qinggong, he couldn't catch up with it. And if he wasn't careful, the snake would burrow into the weeds and become silent.
"This can't go on like this!"
Seeing that time was running out, Jin Renfeng became anxious.
After some time, he will return to the mountain to attend the ceremony of becoming the head of the sect, and it is unknown when he will come to Xiangyang again.
If we can't collect enough snake gallbladders as soon as possible, this opportunity will be wasted.
A snake gallbladder alone will not have much effect.
However, Jin Renfeng also knew that at this moment, no matter how anxious he was, it would be of no use.
If he wants to catch up with the snake, he must increase his speed.
Now Jin Renfeng's light body method is not good enough, so even though he has strong internal strength, he can't catch up with the big snake. If he can change his light body method, his speed will definitely increase further.
And it just so happened that there was a top-notch light skill master by his side.
. . . . .
In a secluded forest near Xiangyang City.
Jin Renfeng took out the "Floating on Water" light skill and began to read it carefully.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood.
Realizing his problem, he temporarily suppressed his anxiety and prepared to concentrate on mastering Qinggong.
For this reason, he stopped his daily snake-hunting activities and prepared to spend a day concentrating on practicing Qinggong.
After reading it in detail, Jin Renfeng memorized the postures, steps, and secret formulas of Qinggong.
He stood up and began to try to use Qinggong
Jin Renfeng has powerful internal strength, and coupled with his natural intelligence and talent, he can make rapid progress in any martial arts he learns.
Within half a day, he had mastered the "Floating on Water" martial art quite well.
Even his moving speed exceeded that when he used Huashan Light Kung Fu.
This is also the characteristic of the gold world. If you have achieved internal skills, learning external skills will be twice as effective with half the effort. If it is the opposite, it will be half the result with twice the effort.
When Guo Jing learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, it was because he had learned the Quanzhen internal energy and had great internal strength that he learned fifteen of the eighteen palms in just over a month.
The leader of the Beggars' Sect in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Shi Huolong, practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for his entire life, but only learned twelve of them. He even went astray in his practice and became paralyzed on one side of his body.
The difference between having profound internal strength and not having it is enough to see from these two. After learning the light skill of "Floating on Water", Jin Renfeng's body became lighter and his foot speed increased.
In just one day, he seemed to have been reborn.
With his success in Qinggong, Jin Renfeng gained more confidence. He entered the valley again to look for the trace of the long snake.
This time was different from the past. The Bosuqu snake that could easily shake him off in the past, now seemed to be more than twice as slow in front of the Golden Human Phoenix, and was easily caught up by him.
Without its speed advantage, the long snake was like fish on a chopping board, allowing him to slaughter it at will.
Often, he could easily catch up with his target while strolling in the garden.
Jin Renfeng was practicing Qinggong while hunting the Pusiqu snake, and the two went hand in hand.
In just three days, Jin Renfeng hunted more than twenty long snakes, and his martial arts skills were much better than when he started.
. . . . . .
One day, in a valley south of the city.
Jin Renfeng was using his Qing Kung Fu to chase after the golden snake.
There were three wounds on the snake's body, its scales were broken, and blood was flowing.
The two had fought before, and the big snake was defeated, so it fled in a hurry.
The body shape of this giant snake is also unique. It is about three or four feet long, more than twice as long as the ordinary Bosuqu snake, and its body seems to be abnormally hard.
As Jin Renfeng quickened his pace, the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.
Seeing that the long snake was not far away from him and had entered his attack range, Jin Renfeng leaped out and stretched out his sword to chop at the snake.
There was a loud bang, and the sword actually bounced back.
Jin Renfeng was also surprised when he saw this. He had noticed the unusualness of this snake during their previous fight, and it was quite difficult to chop it with his sword, but he didn't expect that even the sword could bounce off it this time.
"Even though this insect is ferocious, it is still made of flesh and blood. How can it deflect a long sword made of fine iron?"
He was also puzzled, so he exerted more strength with his hands and swung three times in a row with the sword. Three clang sounds were heard in succession. The sound was like the collision of metal and iron, and was definitely not the sound of the rebound of the poisonous snake's scales.
He raised the sword and saw that there were three notches on the edge of the sword in his hand.
It was already amazing that a snake's body could bounce off a sharp sword, but it was even more incredible that it could create a gap in the blade.
"It's outrageous!" Jin Renfeng complained.
Although the sword in his hand was broken, the snake also had three more wounds on its body.
Not wanting to let go of this strange giant snake, Jin Renfeng exerted all his strength and slashed the poisonous python with his sword again.
Suddenly his hand felt lighter and only half of the sword was left.
Blood was gushing out of the python, but its body was not cut into pieces.
The python's corpse was lying on the ground. Jin Renfeng couldn't understand how it could break the sword, so he broke off a branch, walked closer and poked the python's corpse a few times.
I just felt that my hand was soft, nothing special about it.
He stretched the branch to the sword wound again, but touched something hard. This was not the place where the snake bone was.
Jin Renfeng was determined to find out what was going on. He stretched out a branch and poked it hard. When he lifted it up, the top of the branch had been split in two. It seemed that there must be something extremely sharp inside the snake's body.
He lowered his head to take a closer look, and saw a faint purple gas like smoke and fog shooting out from under the blood light.
The golden man's phoenix head was still three feet away from the poisonous python, and he already felt a layer of coolness on his body. The closer he was to the poisonous python, the cooler he felt.
He picked up the half-broken sword and slashed it at the poisonous python, scraping off a layer of flesh. Suddenly, the purple air increased and a chill ran through his bones.
Jin Renfeng was shocked, fearing that it was an extremely poisonous creature. He raised the broken sword and slashed at the snake corpse. With a clang, the blade of the broken sword broke off several inches.
