After Luo Ping put it on, the shop owner started to introduce it.
"This soft armor is called 'Hidden Double Silk Armor'. It is made of extremely precious golden silk and very rare water silk. Although it is as light as nothing, it is hard for swords and spears to penetrate it. Moreover, this armor has no thorns on the surface. In fact, it does have a certain thickness. The thorns are hidden inside. Once it is hit by external force, the thorns will appear and hurt the enemy. You don't have to worry about the enemy's sneak attack."
After the shop owner finished speaking, he no longer waited for Luo Ping to examine it. Generally speaking, defensive weapons were more precious than offensive weapons. After all, the most important thing was to protect one's life.
After Luo Ping heard the boss's introduction, he was also moved by this "Hidden Thorn Double Silk Armor". For the current him, this soft armor could also be used for a lot of things.
"Boss, I want this soft armor. Wrap up the other ones for me. I will send someone to pick them up when I go back."
After that, he handed the shop owner a silver ingot without asking for the price. Then he left the shop wearing the soft armor.
"Master, Young Master Ping is really generous. It would be great if we all have such customers."
As soon as Luo Ping left, Er Niuzi said with a smile.
"Don't daydream. Young Master Ping just needs it and we can provide it. That's why it is so smooth. You still have to work down-to-earth. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Hurry up and pack up these weapons and wait for the commandery marquis to come and pick them up. "
The shop owner ordered as if he was preaching.
After leaving the shop, Luo Ping continued to walk along the street. When he was about to turn the corner, he saw a red couplet hanging at the door of a medicine shop named "Ancient Medical Family".
The first couplet: Only ancient doctors can be reborn. The second couplet: Bringing the dead back to life.
The horizontal inscription: Magical Hand Brings the Dead back to life.
Looking at the couplet, Luo Ping thought for a while and stepped in.
The medicine shop wasn't very big, but it was very clean and tidy. There was a row of medicine cabinets in the hall, and there were a few rooms on the left and right sides. At this time, in front of the medicine cabinets, there was a 15 or 16 year old girl reading a medical book with a fascinated look.
However, as soon as Luo Ping entered the door, the girl noticed him and immediately put down her medical book to welcome him.
"How should I address you? This medicine store has just opened, and you are the first customer. Please sit here. "
The girl said as she led Luo Ping to sit down.
After Luo Ping sat down, he replied, "I am Luo Ping. I just happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look. What? Has no one been here before? "
When he heard the girl say that he was the first customer, he also felt a little strange.
"Luo Ping? Could it be Young Master Ping from the County Yamen?"
Seeing Luo Ping nod his head in affirmation, the young lady continued, "Young master Ping, you may not know this, but this medicine shop has only been open for half a day. At the beginning, there were indeed many people gathering at the entrance. However, when our couplet was hung, these people dispersed."
"They felt that our tone was too big, unrealistic, and boastful, so no one came to this medicine store."
The girl helplessly shook her head.
Luo Ping revealed an expression of understanding. Then, he didn't say anything else and went straight to the topic.
"You must have heard about my situation. I wonder if you have any methods to change my body's condition so that I can practice martial arts?"
After saying this, he looked at the girl and waited for her answer.
When the girl heard this, she wasn't surprised. It was as if after knowing Luo Ping's identity, she already knew why he was here.
"Young Master Ping, I've heard about your situation, but if you want to talk about a solution, you'll have to ask my father. He's currently concocting medicine in the back room. Please wait a moment, I'll help you call him."
Luo Ping nodded, and the girl walked into the back room.
After a short while, the young girl came out with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man wore a white robe with the words "Ancient Medical Family" printed on it. He had a short beard on his square face, which made him look even more spirited.
"So it is Young Master Ping who has graced me with his presence. I am truly honored. Just now, my daughter has already told me about Young Master Ping's situation. I still need to understand more about Young Master Ping's situation in order to know if there is a solution."
"Shopkeeper Lu is too polite. The situation is like this, when I started cultivating at the age of six …"
Luo Ping spoke for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. After he finished speaking, he looked at Shopkeeper Lu's thoughtful expression and didn't disturb him. Instead, he quietly waited.
After a while, Shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth and said, "According to what Young Master Ping said, your situation should be that your body is relatively weak. No matter how you cultivate, you are unable to strengthen your body. Whether it is strength, strength, or toughness, you do not meet the requirements of a martial artist. Therefore, you are unable to become a Martial Disciple."
When Luo Ping heard that this was indeed the case, he hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Lu, do you have a solution?"
"Whether it can be solved or not, I can't guarantee. However, to cultivate martial arts, one must first strengthen the body, open up the organs, and make the body different from ordinary people. As long as Young Master Ping's body functions are improved, practicing martial arts will not be a problem. "
"According to what I know, in the Inkstone Valley thirty miles to the west of the county office, there is a type of 'Black Inkstone'. This stone is incomparably hard. It is difficult for swords and sabers to damage it. However, once it comes into contact with ice, it will both turn into water."
"It is said that soaking the body in this water can rebirth and prolong one's life. I don't know if it is true or not. "
Shopkeeper Lu said in the end, but he couldn't be sure.
After all, it was just a legend. He had never really seen anyone test it.
Luo Ping thought for a while before saying with a smile, "Regardless of whether it is effective or not, I still have to try it. I wonder what are the characteristics of the 'Black Inkstone'?"
"It is said that the 'Black Inkstone' is like a stone but not a stone. It is like jade but not jade. Its entire body is as black and shiny as ink. Other than being incomparably hard, it is also bone-chilling to the touch. If you see it, it is very easy to recognize. In the past, there were many in the Inkstone Valley. I don't know if you can find them now. "
Shopkeeper Lu told Luo Ping everything he knew without holding back.
Since Luo Ping got the answer, he didn't stay any longer. Thus, he stood up and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Lu and Miss Lu. I still have something to do, so I will take my leave. This is the consultation fee."
After saying that, he handed the father and daughter an ingot of silver and turned to leave.
"Young Master Ping, take care!"
The father and daughter's farewell words came from behind.
After leaving the medicine store, Luo Ping didn't continue to stroll around. Instead, he returned to the weapon store and took the weapons he bought before heading straight to the Inkstone Valley.
Since he had already practiced the "Light Smoke Floating Body Technique" to the third level, Luo Ping naturally wouldn't walk slowly.
Once he used his body technique, he shuttled through the deserted road at an extremely fast speed. Since there was no one on the west side of the county yamen except for the forest in the valley, Luo Ping didn't have to worry about encountering bad people.
In less than the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Luo Ping approached the Inkstone Valley. The closer he got to the valley, the more rugged the road became. Luo Ping had no choice but to stop his body technique and change to walking.
After walking for a while, he finally entered the valley.
This valley was about a hundred miles in radius. At the entrance, there was a road that was nearly ten meters wide. There were mountains of different heights around it. Outside the mountains, there was a forest that grew the "Iron Spiral Tree" that was unique to this place.
The tree trunk had a spiral pattern from the bottom to the top. The leaves were as black as ink, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
After standing at the entrance and taking a deep breath, Luo Ping walked in without hesitation.
Although the Inkstone Valley appeared calm on the surface, there were still some wild beasts that occasionally appeared. Luo Ping couldn't do anything by himself. Fortunately, he had the newest weapon that he had just bought, so he felt a lot more at ease.
After entering the valley, Luo Ping carefully searched according to the characteristics of the "Black Inkstone" that Shopkeeper Lu had mentioned. However, after searching for a full two hours, he still couldn't find a trace of it. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Could it be that the 'Black Inkstone' in the surroundings of the valley has already been dug up? Let's go to the center of the valley and take a look. "
As a result, Luo Ping continued to walk towards the center. At this time, he could already hear the cawing of crows and see the traces of rabbits, frogs, deer, wild boars and other animals. This made Luo Ping have no choice but to be even more careful.
After calming himself down, he began to search area by area. This search lasted for another two hours, but he still found nothing.
"Why is there still nothing? Could it be that the heavens want me to be unable to practice martial arts and won't even give me this glimmer of hope? No, I don't believe in fate. I don't believe it. I must find the Black Inkstone. "
Clenching his teeth, Luo Ping decided to climb over the small hill in front of him and continue his search. Perhaps because he had been too diligent in his search and used up too much of his strength, the small hill in front of him, which was only a hundred feet long, was very difficult for him to climb. When he reached the top, Luo Ping finally collapsed and sat down. He rested for an incense stick worth of time before descending the mountain again.
It was currently summer, and under the harsh conditions, it was extremely difficult to descend the mountain. Seeing that he was only a hundred meters away from the ground, Luo Ping finally revealed a smile.
At this moment, he tripped and couldn't control himself as he rolled down the mountain. He didn't stop rolling until he was far away from the ground. The rocks on the mountain also fell with him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"That's how it is. Next is the scene of meeting the old man's master. I've already told you."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Cousin understands your feelings. Anyone who has been unable to cultivate for many years and suddenly has a glimmer of hope would grasp it regardless of the difficulties."
"However, you're really lucky. You've profited from a disaster and obtained a great opportunity! I can finally get what I want! "
Luo Ping could feel the sincerity in her words. She was truly happy for him. Luo Ping couldn't help but feel deeply moved!
"Hey, why are you in a daze? Let's go, I'll take you to the market! "
Without waiting for Luo Ping's reply, she grabbed his hand and skipped out of the training field.
"Wow! I can finally go out shopping. When I was at home, I was forced to practice martial arts by my parents every day. It's so annoying. "
"Cousin Xiuxiu, Fifth Aunt and Fifth Uncle are doing this for your own good. That's why they are so strict. Besides, with your talent, if you cultivate diligently, it won't be difficult for you to reach the Innate Martial King realm!"
"But I'm only fifteen years old now! This is the time when I need freedom. Besides, I don't like to play with swords and spears at all. It's too bad for my image! "
"Cousin, that's because you haven't experienced the pain, helplessness, and torture of not being able to cultivate. That's why you don't know how to cherish it. You're only fifteen years old now. You haven't cultivated seriously, but you're already at the early stage of the Martial Master realm. Your cultivation speed is comparable to Cousin Yunzun's. You don't know how many people are envious of you! "
Seeing Luo Ping suddenly stop and stare at her, full of emotion as he said these words, the girl immediately understood his feelings.
"Forget it, Cousin Ping. Let bygones be bygones. I believe that you're not someone who can't see past things. Besides, now that you can cultivate martial arts, you don't have to worry about being bullied anymore."
"Come, give me a smile. Oh, right, that's a good boy! Let's go, let's continue shopping! "
Luo Ping looked at his cousin's happy side profile and felt warm in his heart.
Ever since he couldn't cultivate, Luo Ping and the other youths in the family had an invisible barrier. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to be seen clearly, or perhaps it was because the others were busy cultivating all day. In short, Luo Ping spent very little time with the others.
However, Chen Xiuxiu was an exception. Regardless of whether he could cultivate martial arts or not, his cousin stuck to him like a plaster. Every time he came to the county yamen, she would definitely pester him.
At first, Luo Ping also avoided her like a plague. Later, he found that he couldn't avoid her at all and could only resign himself to fate. After a long time, naturally, he was immune to Chen Xiuxiu's ghostly horse torment.
Now, he would also tease Chen Xiuxiu from time to time. In short, Luo Ping felt that when he was with Xiuxiu, he didn't have any worries and was always happy. This was enough.
"Ta Ta Ta Ta!"
Luo Ping was immersed in the warmth when he suddenly heard the sound of a horse galloping from the front. He immediately looked ahead vigilantly.
He saw a person riding a horse in front of him, charging straight in their direction. Chen Xiuxiu also noticed this because she was attracted by the surrounding stalls.
It was too late to dodge now. Luo Ping made a prompt decision and suddenly pulled Chen Xiuxiu behind him. Then, he raised his fist and hit the horse's jaw in front of him.
"Ow … ow!"
The horse fell on its back and howled in pain. White foam kept coming out of its mouth.
The person on the horse was a bald man, but he reacted quickly. The moment the horse fell to the ground, he landed steadily on the ground.
