Chapter 26 Crazy skin refining, endless suffering!
"A big iron pot costs 1 tael, 4 cents and 5 cents!"
"50 pounds of iron sand, 13 cents per pound, total 6 cents and 5 cents."
"The original price of a jar of tiger bone skin refining ointment is 1 tael and 5 cents, but buying it at half price is 7 cents and 5 cents!"
In the yard of Uncle Lu’s house
Wei Hong was calculating the accounts with a frown on his face. There was a pile of newly purchased leather refining equipment beside him.
He suddenly found that his pocket, which had just become richer, suddenly shriveled up again. The 5 taels of congratulatory gifts sent by Zhu Sihai were actually spent, leaving only 150 wen.
"Are you feeling distressed?" Lu Shan joked while smoking a dry cigarette: "This is just the most basic cost. I don't know how many resources will be spent to complete the skin refining. The following daily firewood and stove charcoal , ointments have to be purchased, and money has to be spent like running water. "
"I am poor in literature and rich in martial arts, but the ancients will not deceive me!" Wei Hong sighed.
"There is no other way." Lu Shan knocked on his cigarette bag and said with a smile: "Recently, there have been rebellions among vassal kings in various places, and the price of iron has also been soaring. Now a pound of pig iron costs 17 cents. This big pot of yours needs at least 17 cents. Losing forty or fifty kilograms of pig iron, plus the blacksmith's wages, tsk tsk tsk..."
"well!"
Wei Hong shook his head helplessly.
I made up my mind to find a martial arts school to earn some extra money after I succeeded in refining my skin.
"Uncle, my shack is too small for physical training." Wei Hong said casually: "Just leave the things here for you. I will come over every day before evening or after dinner to practice for a while. I will buy some charcoal fire and other things another day."
"It's up to you!" Lu Shan nodded and asked, "Do you want to practice now? There is still some charcoal fire at home!"
"nature!"
Wei Hong is not welcome either!
He built a stove directly in the yard.
A large iron pot is placed on top of it, and iron sand is poured into it.
Then he found firewood and charcoal and started to heat it. After a while, white smoke began to sizzle in the pot.
"Don't make the fire too strong!" Lu Shan patiently pointed out: "You have just started refining the skin, and if you can't bear the high temperature, fry it until the iron sand is hot to your hands, then reduce it to a low fire!"
"good!"
Wei Hong nodded in agreement.
But in fact, he doesn't care much about the temperature of the flame.
He took a deep breath and took off his shirt. He was shirtless in the ice and snow. He raised his hand and thrust it into the iron pot.
"Chichi!"
A sharp pain hit him, and the iron sand in the pot was already extremely hot.
Wei Hong's hands felt as if they had been dipped into a frying pan. Not only was every inch of his skin burned, but the sharp-edged iron sand directly cut his palms, causing blood to come out immediately.
"Are you crazy?" Lu Shan gasped in fright: "How dare you not apply ointment for your first skin refining? How lucky you are!"
"call!"
"Shh!"
Wei Hong calmly endured the severe pain and began to breathe.
The practice method of "Hundred-forged Golden Body Kung Fu" is not complicated. Qi and blood are transported to the hands through several meridians, and the arms immediately become thicker due to congestion.
The severe pain suddenly weakened by three points, but it was still unbearable.
The skin on Wei Hong's palms had begun to fester, roll, and drip with blood. The smell of barbecue filled the air, which shocked Lu Shan and left him speechless.
"You don't want your life?" Lu Shan hurriedly came over to stop him: "Stop applying the ointment quickly, otherwise your hand will become useless."
"It's okay!" Wei Hong's cheek twitched in pain while forcing a smile to comfort him: "I just want to try how much it hurts without applying ointment. I have a sense of propriety!"
"You have no sense of propriety!" Lu Shan jumped in anger.
"hehe!"
Wei Hong finally retracted his hand.
After cleaning it with water, the injuries on the palms were even more shocking.
Lu Shan frowned and turned around to get the medicine, but Wei Hong raised his hand to stop him and directly smeared his hands with tiger bone skin refining ointment.
"hiss!"
A hint of coolness began to envelope the skin.
The severe pain in his hands suddenly eased by three points, and at the same time, the strong medicinal power began to invade the skin membrane, slowly strengthening the skin.
"This tiger bone skin refining ointment not only has the effect of anesthesia and analgesia, but also nourishes the skin membrane and accelerates skin repair. No wonder everyone in the world relies on the power of ointment for skin refining!"
Wei Hong silently compared them in his mind.
I found a big difference before and after using the ointment.
The first is the pain. Most people can't bear it without ointment.
But after using the ointment to relieve the pain, I can still bear the pain of biting my teeth.
The second is the skin refining effect. Relying on Qi and blood to repair the skin membrane without ointment is not only slow, but also has a mediocre strengthening effect.
After using the ointment, relying on the power of the medicine to strengthen the skin, the repair speed and strengthening effect of the skin film must be improved at least three to five times.
"Have you seen the clues?" Lu Shan joked cheerfully: "You kid will never look back until you hit the wall. Skin refining cannot be done without ointment, and this is just the most common secret skin refining medicine. It is said that The secret medicine used by the rich and powerful children is hundreds of times more expensive than yours."
"Practicing martial arts is like a gold-eating beast." Wei Hong sighed again: "Uncle, please go and do some work first. I will study it myself for a while."
"good!"
Lu Shan nodded, turned around and entered the house.
Wei Hong looked at no one around and decisively added 1 point of vitality to his health.
Then a warm current swept through the whole body, and finally went towards the injured hands spontaneously, and began to repair the injuries on the palms.
"Huh?"
Wei Hong's eyes widened in surprise.
He discovered that vitality could repair injuries ten to a hundred times faster than ointment.
The bloody hands stopped bleeding quickly, and this warm energy penetrated deep into the membrane, directly covering up the power of the ointment, and the membrane became stronger by multiples.
"It seems that I can save money to buy secret medicine for skin refining in the future!"
Wei Hong couldn't help but feel very happy.
Ordinary people have to save money to buy secret medicine for martial arts training.
The rich and powerful spend a lot of money on nourishing soups and medicines every month.
He only needs to kill pigs in the butcher shop to nourish himself easily.
The effect is ten times or a hundred times that of others. Who can not be ecstatic?
"Don't be proud, a tall building is built from the ground, and everything can only be done by yourself!"
"The golden finger is just an auxiliary. If you want to become stronger, you have to endure endless suffering."
Wei Hong silently comforted himself.
After taking a deep breath, he continued to insert his hand into the iron pot.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
Bursts of white smoke surged, and he took a breath of cold air in pain.
The life value on the attribute panel actually fluctuated slightly.
Wei Hong gritted his teeth and added 10 points of vitality. He grabbed the hot iron sand and rubbed it on his arm.
"Ah..."
The pain was like a slow slicing.
It almost made people's teeth break.
Such a rough way of refining skin would shock countless people.
But Wei Hong persisted. Although he was trembling with pain and sweating, his eyes were fierce and tough, and his hands continued to rub without flinching.
Gradually, his hands were covered with blood!
He gritted his teeth and grabbed the iron sand and rubbed it on the skin of his upper body.
