In this way, the matter became serious.
These few big wolfdogs were all put down and couldn't be woken up. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that they had been tricked. The Wu's raised these dogs to guard the house. Why were these dogs bewitched? What was the reason behind it? Did someone want to rob the Wu Family's ironware shop?
As a result, with the fall of these dogs, the entire Wu's ironware shop entered a state of nervous alertness. The slightest sound of wind and cranes, every bush and every tree was an enemy.
They investigated the reason why the wolfdogs fainted. As the drinking place of the wolfdogs, the big water tank was checked many times. But after half a month, no clue was found. During this process, the Wu Family naturally found out that Junior Leopard had bought medicine outside. But later they found that Junior Leopard only bought some common medicinal materials. No one would think that the medicine Junior Leopard bought would cause such a result. Therefore, his suspicion was eliminated.
The investigation lasted for half a month. Those wolfhounds slept for half a month and all of them died. It was not that the Anesthetic Pill was poisonous, but that no one could stand not eating or drinking for half a month. In the end, they died of thirst.
The drug was so strong that it was totally beyond Junior Leopard's expectation.
The wolfhounds were dead. After half a month of fruitless investigation, nothing was lost. The Wu's ironware shop gradually calmed down. Anyway, nothing was lost. Although the matter was strange, it could not be investigated further. Thus, the matter calmed down. But after the dead dogs, more than 10 big wolfhounds entered the Wu's ironware shop. They were more majestic and ferocious than the dead dogs.
Junior Leopard, the initiator of this incident, was also the biggest beneficiary. In the following one or two months, his mood was extremely good. Even the work on his hands was much more skillful. He produced a few fine weapons and won a lot of praise.
Junior Leopard dismissed these praises with a smile. His mind was not on it at all.
"This Anesthetic Pill melts in water and is colorless and odorless. It has no smell after being ground into powder. It's a good thing to trick people!"
After grinding the remaining 30 Anesthetic Pills into powder and putting them into a small porcelain bottle, Junior Leopard never left the small porcelain bottle.
Life returned to normal. The experience of the wolfdogs had become a strange story in the whole Qingyang Market. It had no other meaning except as a topic of gossip.
Junior Leopard's life returned to the right track. Every day, he did nothing but practice martial arts, which made him more relaxed. Every month, Junior Leopard could always hand in the tools that satisfied Qin Xuanlong, which made Qin Xuanlong feel more at ease. At the same time, he supervised Junior Leopard more strictly, because he had the same idea as Old Xing. He hoped that Junior Leopard could participate in the Selection Contest of the Wu's after he was 10 years old. Once he was selected, his identity would be very different, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate. Especially with Junior Leopard's aptitude, Qin Xuanlong believed that he would definitely attract the attention of the Wu's top officials. He might even be accepted as a disciple by an Elder and enter the upper class of the Wu's.
In this way, he didn't care much about the tasks Junior Leopard handed in every month. On the contrary, he cared more about the progress of his martial arts, especially the practice of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the Nine Styles of Wild Splitting Wind Hammering Skill.
Even in the process of Junior Leopard forging, Qin Xuanlong would stand aside and emphasize to Junior Leopard that he should use his heart to understand the essence of the Nine Styles of Hammering Skill when hammering.
For this point, Junior Leopard had an epiphany once and had integrated the hammering skill into Taiji Fist, so he didn't need to spend much effort. But Qin Xuanlong was a little depressed, because the boy's comprehension was so good that it was beyond his expectation.
In this way, half a year passed. Half a year was neither long nor short. Junior Leopard's life in the Wu's ironware shop had gradually stabilized. With the progress of his strength and technique, the quality of the things he forged was getting higher and higher.
"Your current technique level is already comparable to that of an ordinary craftsman!"
Qin Xuanlong held the Long Sword that Junior Leopard had just forged in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the sword light flashed. With a "clang" sound, an iron bar as thick as the mouth of a bowl was broken into two. Putting the sword in front of Junior Leopard's eyes, Qin Xuanlong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm afraid this is also the limit of your age. There is still one and a half years left. You should practice Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique well. It's best if you can reach the Level One Full Closure of the Level Two Martial Artist by the age of 10. In that case, you will definitely be favored by the Elders!"
"Favored by the Elders?!"
Although these words sounded a little ambiguous, it was very tempting.
The Wu's was a family of blacksmiths. Although it sounded like a family, in fact, it was similar to the structure of a school. The only difference from a school was that every generation's Family Head had the surname Wu. And in the Wu's, there were many people with different surnames. These people had existed since the beginning of the Wu's. They were the three disciples of the ancestor who founded the Wu's: the Ma Family, the Lin Family, and the Xu Family. After hundreds of years of evolution, the Ma Family had disappeared and the Lin Family had gradually declined. However, the Xu Family had gradually become stronger and stronger. Of course, generation after generation of Family Heads and Elders, they could not always accept their own descendants as disciples. Generation after generation of people with different surnames, there would always be one or two outstanding talents.
These people with different surnames, but they worked for the Wu's, were the Elders of the Wu's.
It was not easy to become an Elder of the Wu's. Of course, it was not difficult either. As long as your martial arts cultivation reached Level Four, you would have the preliminary qualification to become an Elder.
Level Four meant breaking through the Skin Toughening Realm and reaching the Bone Forging Realm.
The Bone Forging Realm in the Three Realms!
It sounded not difficult. However, in the martial arts world, there were many practitioners. Those who could really break through the Skin Toughening Realm and reach the Bone Forging Realm were less than one in a hundred. Firstly, cultivation methods were hard to find, and more importantly, the elixirs were hard to find.
Unless it was the legendary top-notch cultivation method, the Internal Qi that was cultivated had a strong nourishing function to the body. Only then could one not rely on the power of the decoction. Together with the punching skill of Bone Forging Realm, one could completely rely on the nourishment of the Internal Qi to complete the Bone Forging Realm. However, that kind of cultivation method could be said to be against the natural order. How could an ordinary person practice it?
Therefore, most of the warriors in this world, if they wanted to practice to the Bone Forging Realm, other than their own hard work, they also had to rely on the accumulation of countless elixirs. Otherwise, if they only practiced the punching skill of Bone Forging Realm, they would need at least fifty years to break through the Skin Toughening Realm. Fifty years, the blue sea would turn into mulberry fields. Only God knows if you could still move your bones after practicing to the Bone Forging Realm.
However, how could an ordinary practitioner have so much money and ability to collect so many elixirs? Just like Wang Tianlei, he also had a very good talent. Relying on the popular martial arts that he learned in the army, he also practiced to the realm of a Level One warrior. If he was given another few decades, it was not impossible for him to practice to the realm of Level Two, or even the realm of Level Three. It was impossible to go any higher!
There was an extremely deep gap between a Level Three warrior and a Level Four warrior. This was also the first threshold that all warriors had to go through. Similarly, because of the existence of this gap, although there was only a difference of one level between a Level Three warrior and a Level Four warrior, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth. Even if one had just reached the Bone Forging Realm, the strength and toughness of the whole body's bones would be ten times more than that of the Skin Toughening Realm. In this way, even if one did not use Internal Qi, the strength of the punch would be stronger than the strength of the Skin Toughening Realm warrior using Internal Qi. Once the Internal Qi was used, under the power of the Bone Forging Realm and the addition of Internal Qi, the destructive power created was not something that a Level Three warrior could imagine. Therefore, even if it was a Level Three warrior who had reached the Perfect Skin-Toughening Realm, he could not take a punch from a warrior who had just reached the Bone Forging Realm.
Under one punch, he would turn into ashes.
