Chapter 4 Strength Test

When the first ray of sunlight jumped out of the horizon in the morning and dispersed the deepest darkness after the silver moon fell, Zhang Weidao woke up from his sleep on time. This was a habit developed through years of practice.

After getting up from the hay bed and washing up, Zhang Weidao drank a few sips of the cold water he had left last night, packed up the belongings he had prepared for the evening class yesterday, and started doing the morning class.

When Taoist priests do morning prayers, they usually do it at Mao hour, which is from 5 to 7 o'clock. At this time, Yang Qi is rising, Yin Qi has not moved, food has not been eaten, and Qi and blood are not disordered. Morning prayers can calm the mind and make the brain think more clearly.

.

Taoists attach great importance to morning and evening classes, and will not interrupt them easily unless there is something important. Although Zhang Weidao traveled to another world, except for the Taoist knowledge in his mind, he no longer has anything.

He didn't even have any incense candles, but that didn't stop him from continuing the tradition.

Zhang Weidao recited the mantra to purify the heart, the mantra to purify the mouth, the mantra to purify the body, the mantra to calm the earth, the mantra to calm the world, etc., and then recited the "Sutra of Everlasting Qing and Everlasting Jing", "The Sutra of Eliminating Disasters and Protecting Life", etc., for morning class

After finishing it, I felt as refreshed as before, but I didn't have the strange cooling feeling last night.

Zhang Weidao didn't think too much and started making breakfast in a hurry. After finishing the morning class, filling his stomach was the most important thing. After eating a simple pumpkin breakfast, Zhang Weidao took the guys out.

First, prepare to go to the river to find a piece of sandstone to sharpen the dagger in hand so that it can be more effective against the enemy.

After searching along the river bank for more than an hour, I found a suitable sandstone stone at the end of the upper reaches of the river.

After grinding the round-headed dagger to a real tip, and then grinding it into a very sharp single-sided blade, Zhang Weidao put away the dagger with satisfaction.

At this time, I took some time to look at the upper reaches of the river, and saw that the surroundings were completely vertical cliffs. Without professional climbing tools, it was impossible to climb up.

The source of the river flows down from a gap about fifty meters above the ground on the cliff, forming a very spectacular waterfall.

Zhang Weidao ran to the edge of the waterfall to see if there was a water curtain hole hidden behind the waterfall. Of course, there was no accident, there were still wet hard rocks behind. He didn't stop there anymore, and walked directly from the stepping stones that emerged from the water.

Jump across and reach the other side.

While jumping and moving on the rocks on the shoal, Zhang Weidao felt that his balance and jumping ability had been greatly improved. It seemed that the physical strengthening he felt during the practice last night was indeed not an illusion. The main purpose of returning to the other side this time was to

Pick a pumpkin and take it back to test your strength.

Soon the large pumpkin patch appeared in front of him. Zhang Weidao picked a pumpkin as big as yesterday, cut off the vines and picked it up. He walked dozens of steps without feeling tired at all.

He lifted the pumpkin, which weighed more than 50 kilograms, and lifted it more than a dozen times in a row without any difficulty. You know, according to his previous physical fitness, his arms should be sore and weak. It seems that his strength and endurance have improved a lot.

Significantly.

However, the pumpkin is too big to handle, so I can only briefly test the strength-increasing effect. After returning, I still need to find some suitable stones to build better training equipment.

In the pumpkin patch, it was verified that practicing the Golden Alchemy Technique has indeed brought great strengthening to himself. Zhang Weidao picked up the pumpkin and walked to the monastery. Today, he no longer has to smash the pumpkin into two sides to remove the flesh. After his strength increased greatly,

Carrying this giant pumpkin weighing more than fifty pounds, I walked a lot without feeling heavy.

While Zhang Weidao was walking with the pumpkin in his arms, he was thinking about how to tinker with some exercise tools after he went back. While walking on the wooden bridge, he glanced at the sparkling river surface from the corner of his eyes and watched the fish pop up and fall out of the water.

Huh? The fish in this river are quite big!

Zhang Weidao couldn't help but muttered, "It seems that when we go back, we need to prepare some tools first and catch some fish to eat meat." After all, it's not enough to eat pumpkin every day. If you can't keep up with nutrition, you won't have the money to practice refining.

Qi Qigong.

After getting off the bridge, Zhang Weidao first made a hole in the pumpkin by the river, then hollowed out the inside, then found some flexible branches and vines, and tied them into a hole that could allow larger fish to squeeze in.

Hollow cylinder.

The gap between the cylinder and the pumpkin was just right. I dug up some small bugs from the riverside and nailed them inside the pumpkin. I found a section of the river with stable water and tied some vines to them and put them into the water.

Next, it depends on luck, but the harvest will definitely be more or less. If you don’t have the right tools at hand, you can only rely on this passive way to catch fish. Whether you can catch meat depends on the strength of the ground cage.

Zhang Weidao went back upstream to select stones of suitable shape. He selected a few stones with little difference in weight and moved them back to the monastery. These carefully selected stones weighed about 80 kilograms, which was just right.

At this stage, Zhang Weidao is used for auxiliary training and testing.

It was already noon. Zhang Weidao cooked a delicious pumpkin for lunch. After filling his stomach, he found the stairs and climbed to the attic of the monastery.

Except for the top room in the attic, which was still intact, other places that could be easily damaged and climbed up had their doors and windows smashed and tiles torn off. Zhang Weidao decided to repair the topmost attic, which was not seriously damaged, and use it as a bedroom in the afternoon.

At this time, standing on the top attic nearly 20 meters above the ground, you can look to the south and see the checkpoint where the city gate was demolished by the orcs. To the west is Stormwind City separated by towering mountains. At this time, you don’t know which side is there.

How was the siege going?

According to what Zhang Weidao saw with his own eyes, the tall city walls, towers and powerful city defense firepower, the orcs should have been unable to attack for a long time, and then they would use a traitor to assassinate the king as in the plot, and break into the city during the riots.

Thinking of these helpless sighs of Zhang Weidao, this feeling of foresight but powerlessness was really uncomfortable, so I silently recited the meditation mantra to calm my body and mind. Then I looked at the farms and vineyards to the east, and I saw a ribbon that looked like it was dotted with gems.

The river flows along the green vineyards to the end of the southern horizon.

In the pumpkin farm next to the vineyard, the vast expanse of green is dotted with dots of light yellow. Those are nearly ripe pumpkins, which are Zhang Weidao’s strong guarantee for food and clothing. It is impossible to starve to death, not in this life.

He may be starving to death, but the pumpkins on this entire farm can feed thousands of people.

Zhang Weidao looked to the north again. The north is also a series of towering mountains that are difficult for apes to climb. The only lower place is the waterfall like the Milky Way upside down. In the north, at the foot of the mountain near the monastery, there is an abandoned mine.

In my memory, it was the territory of a group of kobolds.

Kobolds are relatively intelligent creatures. They like mining and can make simple tools and weapons. They can make candles and make rough clothes. They are a semi-civilized intelligent creature.
