Chapter 143: Upgraded Sense of Smell

Chen Ku successfully broke through to the second level of Xuan Guan.

But not only did he not experience any dangerous dangers, such as 'fake death', 'lethargy' or 'become possessed' as the two masters warned him, but instead...

It came to life in an instant.

Chen Ku once again recalled the feeling of the moment after he used all his strength to hit the door of death.

then,

He felt as if he had stepped on the door of death with one foot, and his spirit was stiff, as if he was frozen in the door of death.

Think back now.

It was like spending several years at death's door.

result.

A thunder exploded behind his head.

He woke up.

The door of death was opened.

He was unscathed.

The outside world actually saw that the moment he rushed through the door of death, it really only took a moment.

"Is this what it feels like to live and die in the blink of an eye?"

Chen Ku murmured:

"I cannot deceive the ancients sincerely."

Death is just a moment.

At the door of death, the difference is that if you get over it, it will break in an instant. If you can't resist it... that moment will become eternity, and a complete spiritual suspended animation will pass.

"It's a near miss."

Chen Ku took a deep breath.

Looking at his sister-in-law and Huzi who were curiously asking at the door, he said slowly: "Okay, there's no need to ask for leave for me. I'll go to work as normal today."

The women and children at home did not need to explain to them the great terror and danger that had just occurred in that moment.

Wait until sister-in-law and Huzi leave the door obediently.

Only then did Chen Ku begin to realize his own realm of cultivation.

Double entrance!

If I think about it carefully, I entered the first level of the entrance not long ago on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Today is the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, and I actually passed the level again.

Chen Kudu couldn't help but be surprised by the speed of his cultivation breakthrough:

"Am I practicing a little too fast?"

He couldn't help but become curious,

Needless to say, in Baojiao County, he is definitely the only one. I don’t know if there is anyone in Qiulong Mansion or in the entire Youzhou who can practice at such a speed?

Then,

He stood up and stood in front of the bronze mirror.

Chen Ku looked at himself in the mirror, stared into his own eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, after breaking through the second door of death, the changes in my eyes won't be too big. People won't be able to judge that I have broken through again through the brilliance of my eyes."

It's not that he wanted to hide it intentionally.

The main reason is that I am afraid that my cultivation speed will be too fast and scare the two masters, and I am afraid that I will go on some evil path, and when the time comes, I will attract some "well-meaning curses"...

It's better not to get spit on.

"The changes in the double door of death at the entrance are not reflected in the eyes and spirit, but are experienced in the metabolism of life that is several times more powerful than before."

Chen Ku chewed an elixir and could clearly feel that the speed of digesting the elixir and decomposing essence in his body was more than ten times faster than when he was at the first level of Xuan Guan.

In the past, it would take him two or three days to digest a Qi-Building Pill a day, but now...

He felt that he could eat the elixir as food three times a day and still digest it.

This is the change that will be brought to the body after breaking through the second door of death.

Just like people, when they are young, they are strong and energetic, and they eat all the time. When they get old, they all decline, that is, they have no strength, no spirit, and their vitality and digestive and metabolic abilities are not as good as before. .

After the door of death is opened, it is equivalent to making the old man twenty or thirty years younger and rejuvenated.

Chen Ku is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, which is when his vitality is strong. Coupled with martial arts training, he has especially increased his physical fitness. Therefore, it is not to say that he has regained his youth, but it has given him exponentially more strength than those of his age. Vitality and metabolic rate.

I briefly felt the realm of the second level of the entrance hall.

After Chen Ku opened the door, he went to work at Yaowang Hall, but he was also thinking about the little tail left by Yan Longhao's death.

"Although no one has doubted me yet, I'd better deal with it after work."

…

Today I am on duty at Tu Jieyuan.

Chen Ku asked as usual if there were any monsters sent to the yard that needed his help to kill.

This was a casual question.

In no mood,

Qin Sheng responded:

"Yes, yes, there is a second-level fine dog demon. We suspect that there is a 'dog treasure' in the body. We spent a lot of money to get it back from the Hunter Forest. Master Shi Xianghong came to help today. He will kill it then. No need. Sorry to bother you, shopkeeper."

This time he said the three-character title "Young Shopkeeper", but there was no problem at all.

after all,

Yesterday, in front of everyone, Chen Ku's position was completely confirmed.

Heard.

This morning, Zhang Renfeng, the disciple of the second shopkeeper, had already boarded a carriage and was sent back to Fucheng.

It was completely announced that the loser would retire, and he would retire cleanly.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Ku's attention was not on the title of "Young Shopkeeper", but on hearing the words "Second Realm Fine Dog Demon", his eyes brightened slightly.

Thin dog? demon? Or the second realm?

Chen Ku suddenly felt less sleepy, straightened his expression, and said:

"Since Master Shi hasn't come yet, it's just a convenient thing for me to do. I'll kill him."

The thin dog of the second realm.

All of a sudden, Chen Kumai couldn't move. After all, the many changes that made him what he is today all started with a thin dog.

Not to mention,

The sense of smell of a thin dog with demon blood is an innate ability that he can still use to this day.

A truly second-level thin dog...

Qin Sheng was stunned and felt incredible. He didn't expect that Chen Ku could be so considerate to his subordinates after he actually became the young shopkeeper.

His heart was burning.

It seems that in the next forty years, if Chen Ku serves as the shopkeeper, the atmosphere of the entire Yaowangtang clerks and apprentices may take on a completely new look, and everyone can find a sense of belonging here.

Chen Ku didn't know what Qin Sheng was thinking.

Not many steps.

Then he came to the cage of the thin dog.

Ouch! roar! roar!

This second-level thin dog barked when it saw Chen Ku. It looked twice as big as an ordinary thin dog. Standing there, it looked like a white liger. If it weren't for its claws, it would still be as soft as a hemp stick. , thin waist and long ears, I really dare not think of it as a dog.

At the same time, it has some mangy skin on its body, which is also the reason why it is speculated that there is dog treasure in its body.

[The desire of a small dog is detrimental to the owner...]

Chen Ku sensed a reminder of the evil spirit.

Someone let go of the cage, walked over, picked up a sharp bone-picking knife, divided it by three times, and then put the thin dog back to the west. At the same time, a mass of something like a mass was actually taken out from the belly of the thin dog. Fist-sized gold.

Goubao, also called dog gold, golden elixir.

The dog treasures in ordinary wild dogs are worth a hundred taels.

This fist-sized dog treasure is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. If other medicinal properties in the demon's body are added, the price may be doubled.

Although Yaowangtang didn't know how much money he spent to buy this demonic thin dog, this time it was just like gambling on stones, and he made a profit.

[The picture owner kills the thin dog and obtains a second-level demon evil spirit]

Chen Ku, however, was temporarily immersed in the evil spirit of this second-level thin dog.

Give it a try.

【The thin dog changes! 】

【Slender dog changes shape】

[Transformation part: (nose) Baili tracking technique]

Chen Ku was pleasantly surprised.

"Hundred Miles Tracking Technique? It sounds like it is a doubled version of Xin Quan's ten-mile sense of smell, but it turned out to be a 'witchcraft' on the body of the demon Xi Quan..."

But he also seemed to have discovered a pattern.

"The last time a thin dog changed shape for the first time, it was its nose. This time, it's still the nose... Could it be that changing shape does not depend on luck, but follows the body patterns of different creatures?"

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is not entirely true.

Let's put it aside for now.

However, I subconsciously tried the "hundred-mile tracking technique".

Dachen Village in the countryside of Sheyu Town was about seventy or eighty miles away from the county seat, so Chen Ku sniffed in that direction.

This smell.

Suddenly, he felt the 'demon energy' in his body boiling like boiling hot water, pouring into his nasal cavity, and suddenly...

Under the perception of Chen Ku's scent, the world seemed to be vaster and larger than before, and the colorful and multifarious illusions seemed to form scenes for the nose.

He immediately smelled the smell under the locust tree at the entrance of Dachen Village. It was winter again at noon, and there was no farm work. Many people were sitting at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun.

Chen Ku's nose not only smelled who was there, including brothers Guo Fu and Guo Qiang, as well as the long-term workers of the village chief's family, he could even vaguely sketch a picture in his mind through the smell.

One more moment.

Withdrawing the 'Hundred Miles Tracking Technique', Chen Ku felt that the demonic energy in his body seemed to have been consumed a small amount.

"Tracking from ten miles to a hundred miles?"

Chen Ku felt the change in the fine dog's sense of smell and thought to himself:

"I wonder if one day I can hunt a big demonic dog, and then I can experience the real 'endless universe, tracking thousands of miles'?"

But just when he felt extremely happy about his upgraded sense of smell.

suddenly,

A gentle voice came from not far away from Tu Jieyuan:

"This must be Junior Brother Chen. I didn't expect that now that you are one of the representatives in the hall, you would actually be willing to help the apprentices kill demons."

This sound sounded.

Chen Ku couldn't help but come back to his senses, slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

This look.

Then he saw a scholar in blue shirt standing at the door of Tujieyuan's round-arched courtyard.

He looks about twenty-five or six years old, but his eyes are very clear, like a child's. His eyes are black and white, and his complexion is fair, as delicate as a woman's. Although his body is a little thinner, he looks elegant against the backdrop of his height. many.

"Who are you?" Chen Ku said subconsciously.

"Senior Brother." Qin Sheng, who was standing next to him, had quickly bowed and saluted, and then lowered his head and reminded Chen Ku: "This is Kou Ming, the disciple of the great shopkeeper, Senior Senior Brother."

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Kou." Chen Ku's expression changed.

"I was away from the hall for most of the time before the year. I had heard of you, but never seen you. After the new year, I went to Fucheng to spend the New Year. In addition, I had some errands to do, and I even missed the matter of selecting representatives for the hall. I missed the meeting again, but fortunately I came back today and finally met. "

The young scholar in blue shirt took the initiative to step forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to Chen Ku:

"Junior Brother Chen, hello, I am Kou Ming."

Chen Ku looked at this handshake etiquette.

I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

I have long heard that the etiquette in Fucheng is somewhat close to that of the previous Republic of China. High-ranking families, dignitaries and literati used to shake hands instead of holding fists. It is no more civilized than in the remote areas of Baojiao County.

But seeing this handshake, Chen Ku's thoughts still drifted away. After a moment of confusion, he slowly stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Senior Brother Kou."

Click.

The two big hands clasped together powerfully.

But in just a moment,

Chen Ku felt the strength coming from the hand of the blue-shirted scholar, exerted on him.

"Hmm? Comparing strength with me?"

His eyes moved slightly:

"This senior brother, have you never heard of my divine power?"
