Chapters 119 and 120 have something to ask for

  With this idea, Xiao Hong began to take out the draft paper and started designing with all his heart. Although the hunting bow already had a basic framework, it was still a book from hundreds of years ago, and some technologies were clearly outdated. Xiao Hong must improve as much as possible before adding the texture-in-texture technique.

  In addition to Fengwen, this is also a common and varied magic pattern, just like the magic car.

  However, there is also an example of this pattern in "Deutsche Platte", called "Spiral Snake", which also needs improvement.

  Soon after some analysis and sorting, Xiao Hong listed the materials needed to make two kinds of magic tattoos. The two magic tattoos together required more than 40 kinds of materials.

  However, the most expensive Ling beast brain marrow, Xiao Hong already had it, that is to say, the mutated blood scale wolf's brain marrow, which can be called a top-grade product, and enough for Xiao Hong to use twice.

  This time, Xiao Hong didn't go to Shang Hong's place directly, but instead contacted Li Wen and the others through a communication talisman, asking them to bring over the materials, with Qian advancing the money for him first.

  Now Li Wen and Hong Feng have begun to move towards the Yu Zhe level, thanks to Xiao Hong. They naturally remember Xiao Hong's kindness and are eager to help him with his busy schedule.

  After getting everything ready, Xiao Hong took out the outer garment with the solid pressure pattern again and put it on tentatively. Apparently, he was now thinking of every possible way to enhance his driving skills.

  However, this time, when Xiao Hong put on the clothes, he didn't have that feeling like last time. The feeling of being compressed was extremely uncomfortable, and his body only felt a slight tightness all around, which had a minimal impact on his aura.

  This is not a decrease in the effect of solid pressure patterns, but rather the internal strength of Xiao Hong's body has reached the level of a master, and it seems slightly overbearing. A single solid pressure pattern can hardly have any effect.

  With this understanding, Xiao Hongyi didn't hesitate and took out the piece of cloth left by Heiying again. After studying it for a while, he fetched materials and planned to make several similar patterns.

  As Xiao Hong has already reached the level of a master craftsman, and after years of studying various books and constantly creating different magical patterns, his skills have improved by who knows how many levels compared to when he first started making solid seal patterns. Techniques that he previously didn't dare try or couldn't accomplish seem to be usable now.

  After observing the pattern on the small cloth interlayer for a few minutes, Xiao Hong turned around and went to the warehouse to fetch materials. These materials were very common and could even be considered cheap compared to magic patterns. Probably, they would only cost two gold coins. However, wanting to replicate the decorative pattern in the interlayer 100% accurately, Xiao Hong thought he didn't have that skill yet.

  "He could only imitate as much as possible." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, then habitually patted his hands and took out the tuning fork, still focusing on carving the dark rubber pad on a circular disc.

  This dark glue cotton is a synthetic substance with excellent elasticity, light as a feather, and is often used as a material for making Bu Jia. Now Xiao Hong uses it as a decorative stone, which should be pretty good.

  Soon, after carving the pattern, configuring the magic liquid and injecting it into it, and then activating it, a plate-sized solid reinforced decoration was formed. Because it was just an exploratory production, Xiao Hong's work looked very casual, from the knife work to the proportion of the magic pattern, there was no such thing as striving for perfection.

  Once again, Xiao Hong put on the jacket with the strengthened embroidery and brocade that had been previously embedded in it.

  In an instant, Xiao Hong felt that feeling again, the power in his body felt the strong pressure coming from all directions, and the power in his body was constantly struggling under such circumstances. It felt a bit painful, but Xiao Hong still managed to withstand it.

  Similarly, the originally first-class rider Xiao Hong's riding power was suppressed and became eighth-class in the Riding Power Detection Magic Pattern.

  "Good grief, that's a crushing blow." Every time he tasted the power of the solid press pattern, Xiao Hong couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the black shadow's incredible strength.

  Although his body felt extremely uncomfortable, Xiao Hong still endured it and even thought about what kind of effect it would have if he applied it to the Blood Trial 'practice method'.

  Of course, this is just a preliminary idea and specific details still need to be tried out. Apart from that, Xiao Hong also plans to use some medicinal liquor and tattooed dan or other things for auxiliary enhancement.

  Just as Xiao Hong was thinking this way, several knocks on the door suddenly came over, and then Li Le's voice sounded from outside the door: "HONG brother, Wenzi and a few others have arrived."

  From the way they addressed each other, it can be seen that Li Le had some social interactions with them.

  "Got it." Xiao Hong responded with a single word, then as usual, he tucked the cloth strip and precious things into his body, and then pushed the door and walked out.

  At this time, Li Wen and others were already waiting on the small stone table in the backyard, still four people. In fact, according to reason, the four of them are not a specific team, after the summer harvest is over, they can disperse. But perhaps it was in the dark cave that they formed a deep friendship, or perhaps it was because of Xiao Hong, now the four of them often mixed together and would come to Xiao Hong's place from time to time to take a look.

  It always feels like without Xiao Hong, the four of them are like they've lost their souls.

  As for what Xiao Hong was going to bring, it had already been packed into a yellow backpack and placed on the stone table.

  "Captain." Seeing Xiao Hong walk out, Hong Feng waved his hand and smiled. Now the four of them, although their progress in quality change was not as rapid as Xiao Hong's, but Hong Feng and Li Wen had already begun to approach the Rider level without restriction. Healing Yan Nan and Ye Jia Zheng were also actively cultivating, striving to upgrade to Rider 10th rank as soon as possible for a qualitative change.

  As for the transformation pattern, it was made by Sang Hongyun, and the effect is naturally unparalleled.

  Xiao Hong saw that these people were beaming with joy, and he smiled too, coming to their side, waving his hand, and then getting straight to the point, checking the materials in the package. Anyway, they were all so familiar with each other, and there was no need for courtesy.

  "How much did you spend in total?" Xiao Hong asked with a relaxed expression.

  "It's probably over fifty gold coins, but never mind the money, we're all buddies, it doesn't matter. Besides, we still owe you a huge favor from before, and we don't even know how to repay it yet." Li Wen waved his hand and put on an air of nonchalance.

  "Ah." Xiao Hong heard this and didn't stand on ceremony, directly stopping his hands from digging into his pockets, starting to count the materials. Through such a long time of understanding, Xiao Hong was clearer than ever about these guys - their mouths said nice things, but behind their backs, who knows what they were after?

  As expected, seeing Xiao Hong not declining, Li Wen and the others once again revealed a face full of amiable smiles, probingly asking: "Looking at the materials in the team leader's place, it seems like you want to make a Wind Chime?"

  "Yes, the wind chime is a symbol of the Yu Zhe level, so it must be made." Xiao Hong responded very simply.

  "Uh..." Li Wen hesitated for a moment, then carefully took out a wooden box from his backpack and asked with a hint of flattery: "Captain, since you're making the Wind Pattern, can you help us out?"

  Li Wen didn't continue speaking, but had already opened the wooden box. Inside was almost the same pattern of materials as Xiao Hong required to purchase, almost identical.

  Others did the same, and four boxes were neatly placed in front of Xiao Hong.

  Although wind patterns are not rare in Taiwu City, and can be bought at any moderately sized magic pattern shop, those are all mass-produced goods that often have special features but lack practical effects. To get a good one, you need to know some excellent pattern makers personally, which is difficult to come by, and even then, you still have to pay a hefty production fee.

  "For something worth fifty gold coins, I'm asked to do four wind patterns all at once? Is my labor really that cheap?" Xiao Hong opened the box and glanced at the materials inside, saying casually.

  Of course, Xiao Hong didn't mean to refuse. In Taiwu City, Xiao Hong knew quite a few people, but he really didn't have many friends. Similarly, they had all entered the Dark Merging Cave together and were considered to be through thick and thin companions. Therefore, in Xiao Hong's words, he also didn't consider them outsiders.

  "You're the captain, one day as a captain, lifetime as a captain, please." Hong Feng continued to say, and made a bowing gesture towards Xiao Hong.

  "You guys are really something (I really don't know when I owed you). Xiao Hong pretended to be in a bad mood, but the implicit meaning of his words was that he agreed."

  Xiao Hong was also aware that to establish himself in Tai Wu City, having only a few friends would not be enough. The people from the Bi An War Team were one group, and these people in front of him should also count as another. Of course, Xiao Hong had no intention of making magic tattoos with intricate patterns for them, unless he wanted to die.

  "Thanks, Captain."

  "I'm always troubling you, I'm really sorry."

  Everyone thanked and apologized, then left without delay after discussing some technical matters with Xiao Hong.

  Xiao Hong didn't delay any further, tidied up the materials and carried his backpack back to his bedroom. He closed the door, turned on the bright magic lamp, sat down at his desk and devoted himself to studying the "Ling She" pattern in "De Style Concave Texture".

  Through previous research, Xiao Hong was very clear about the biggest characteristic of "Ling She", that is, flexibility and maneuverability are both available, but the premise is that there must be enough driving force accuracy.

  Because the usual propeller has only one air vortex, which is to absorb the front air and push it out from behind to achieve the purpose of advancing, and a good one has four beats), responsible for left and right movement.

  However, the current "Ling She" has as many as sixteen vortex structures, and each vortex can change direction, which also requires strong control accuracy.

  Chapter 120: Branch School It took a full three hours for Xiao Hong to thoroughly improve all the relatively backward aspects of "Ling She".

  As usual, after checking that there was no problem, Xiao Hong took out a piece of high-quality red agate from the dark cave and cut it into a concave pattern, then started carving.

  Hongying Stone is also a high-level whetstone, only one grade higher than the War Blood Stone. It's very hard and can be felt with a slight resistance when sharpening a knife.

  It can be said that after a long period of high-intensity use, the "Huan Diao" in Xiao Hong's hand has become somewhat outdated. This is mainly due to the high-intensity usage, but there is no other choice because "Huan Diao" is already one of the best engraved knives available for purchase in Taowu City.

  Even the best ones, like Chai Feng's, are either made by collecting materials and asking a skilled craftsman to forge them, or they are purchased through various channels from places as far away as Tai Wu City and even beyond Yu Rong Xing.

  But these two points are not applicable to Xiao Hong, so he had no choice but to make do with it.

  Because the "Ling Snake" itself is quite complex, it's almost formed by sixteen small magic seals arranged in a ring shape, connected together with specific seal forms, and also need to be carved with fine patterns on the seal paths. When Xiao Hong finished all this, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. Although his knife skills were very skilled, the current "Ling Snake" pattern required too high fineness, and the Red Tassel Stone was extremely hard.

  Wiping away the sweat on his head, Xiao Hong opened a basin of clear water and made several artificial millennium ice through the dark blue magic pattern beads. Then he began to configure the magic pattern liquid according to his previous idea.

  The pattern within the pattern of the magic liquid, Xiao Hong had already thought it out beforehand. That is to say, in the previously prepared magic spirit solution, add artificial Wannian ice, and let this solution cool down and transform in quality under the continuous release of cold air from the artificial Wannian ice source, forming a super high-quality magic spirit solution.

  As for the magical liquid used in the main body of the magic pattern, when Xiao Hong matched it out, he also added as much artificial millennium ice as possible. No mistake, this thing is very precious in other people's eyes, but here at Xiao Hong's place, it can be said that it is inexhaustible, as long as there is power to control it.

  The preparation of the magic liquid is much simpler than the complex structure on the loadstone, and it's completely done in half an hour. Then Xiao Hong starts to slowly pour the magic liquid into the loadstone, among the dense and intricate patterns of lines.

  It can be said that the materials for "Ling She" are not too expensive, most of them are relatively cheap things, except for some variant blood scale wolf's blood collected before, the rest of the materials together, twenty gold coins are enough.

  However, the tedious craftsmanship of making it has given Xiao Hong a feeling that he doesn't want to make another one. Some of the fine patterns are so small that they can only be seen clearly with a magnifying glass, especially the subtle patterns within, which are as thin as hair and cannot afford any mistakes.

  Basically, there were several times in between when Xiao Hong had a feeling of going crazy.

  It took Xiao Hong two whole hours to finish injecting the magic tattoo liquid, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He took out the dark green magic tattoo bead and placed it beside him. Then, Xiao Hong began his final task - activation.

  The activation process, apart from consuming a lot of energy, went smoothly, still taking fifteen seconds.

  Looking at the "Ling She" in front of him, Xiao Hong finally let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair. As he always said, the materials may not be expensive, but the process of making it is absolutely exhausting, just like embroidering flowers.

  After a simple adjustment, Xiao Hong placed the "Ling Snake" on his palm, allowing the internal driving force to seep in. At this time, Xiao Hong could clearly feel that the inside of the "Ling Snake" had a twisting and turning driving force, which was very good. Apparently, the artificial Wan Nian Han Bing had once again played a crucial role.

  Because of the normal wind resistance, the number of times that can be used is mostly around 1-2 stocks, and the excellent ones are at most 3-4 stocks. One stock can travel a distance of about one kilometer.

  "It's great." Xiao Hong softly exclaimed a sentence after feeling the energy in "Ling She".

  Then, he couldn't wait to walk out of the bedroom. It was already around midnight. Li Le and others had fallen asleep. Standing in the center of the courtyard, Xiao Hong quickly activated "Ling She".

  In an instant, Xiao Hong felt that his body had formed a sixteen-pointed vortex, just like the jet nozzle of a magic fighter plane, accumulating momentum and waiting to be launched. The angle of injection could rotate by about sixty degrees, requiring precise control through force to maximize flexibility in action, which was also the greatest charm of "Ling She".

  Through the manipulation of each air vortex, it is possible to flexibly adjust the direction and speed of progress, compared to having only four air vortices, I don't know how many times better, but as I said before, the performance of the wind pattern has improved, and the difficulty of control has also increased.

  Without much hesitation, recalling the operation guide about Wind Pattern in the book, Xiao Hong activated the Wind Pattern, and the vortex immediately increased its thrust. In an instant, Xiao Hong only felt the huge thrust coming from behind him, as if a typhoon of over ten levels was propelling himself forward.

  His feet kicked off and Xiao Hong shot out instantly. Under the huge thrust, Xiao Hong felt his body light and floating, with an incredibly fast speed.

  Bang!

  The next moment, Xiao Hong was directly stuck on the wall opposite him, and under the strong push of the wind, he was like a big gecko, sticking to the wall in an upright position.

  Sixteen cyclones, wanting to operate as freely as an arm, and can also match the pace of footsteps, it seems that Xiao Hong has practiced a lot.

  He quickly stopped the wind pattern and slid down from the wall, then covered one side of his slightly injured face with a painful expression.

  "The difficulty of the operation is indeed not small." Xiao Hong crouched on the ground, muttering to himself, and then took out an ordinary healing medicine tattoo, cleaned up the bruises on his face, and began thinking in his mind how to proceed with the next 'practice', obviously the courtyard was too small and not suitable for such 'practice'.

  At Saikoro Academy and Melonpan Street, there are special places for practicing wind magic, but they are not open to outsiders.

  "It seems I can only rely on myself now." Xiao Hong muttered to himself, then returned to his bedroom and began to use "Hanyun" to practice his control over the accuracy of his Qi. An hour later, he took another Blood Replenishing Pill that he had made, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

  At the same time, in the principal's office of Saichou Academy, although it was already late at night, the lights were still on. In the office, Shibasen sat solemnly at his desk, holding the ranking chart from this afternoon's test. The words "Student of Branch School" hung prominently at the top, standing out starkly.

  In front of him was Xiao Hong's second-level healing potion tattoo.

  On the sofa opposite, Han Chen, He Yunzhi and four or five other main characters were seated, along with the gloomy-looking Chai Shuang and Miao Chen, the top-ranked student in the academy.

  At this moment, the most suffocated person in his heart is Chai Shuang. The ceremony this afternoon was absolutely a great opportunity for him to show off, but as a result, he was trampled by an unknown guy, and suffered a complete defeat, which can be called a naked humiliation.

  What made her even angrier was that just now, she had created a few more second-level medicine patterns, Xiao Hong's records were in front of her, like a huge mountain, making it impossible for her to cross over, and there was even a feeling of being unable to reach the top. This kind of feeling made Chai Feng, who was used to looking down on others, feel extremely terrible.

  "Principal, this ranking list must not be made public. A student from a branch school will trample all over the students of Xizhen Magic Academy, and it's not just about being inferior in skills, but also damaging our reputation! Moreover, Luo Xue Ning is coming soon, if she sees this, what would she think?" He Yanzhi said, holding another copy of the same ranking list. Although he had removed Chai Feng's name to save face, Feng Shang, the second place student from Xizhen Magic Academy, was directly thrown far away.

  "Not only that, but the grades of some students in this branch are absolutely not low."

  Chai Sang continued to speak, and once again picked up the magic pattern in his hand to examine it carefully. Although he had previously obtained Xiao Hong's magic pattern fragments, the Xiao Hong back then was already incomparable to the current Xiao Hong. At that time, Xiao Hong was like a beginner, with rough workmanship, but now he was as smooth and natural as flowing clouds, with a deep and mature demeanor.

  What Cha Sang said was also a judgment made through the experience of the pattern maker over the years, at least driving ten levels, and even reached the level of a driver.

  "Principal, you said that the students who made the magic pill might have added the Millennium Ice in it?" Han Chen thought for a moment before speaking up.

  However, Han's analysis was seen as a joke by several others.

  "Director Han, isn't this a bit absurd? I'd like to ask you, how much does a small piece of Thousand-Year Frost cost? It's priceless, and yet you're asking about the price of a second-grade healing rune. A few silver coins, that's all it costs. Do you think there's anyone in the world who would use something as valuable as Thousand-Year Frost on a healing rune worth only a few silver coins? It's like spending thousands of gold to maintain a broken-down magic car just to extend its lifespan. Is there really someone that foolish in this world? Even if our school wants to surpass Western Magic Academy, isn't the cost a bit too high?" He Yanzhi said.

  From an ordinary person's perspective, this statement makes a lot of sense.

  Sitting upright at his desk, Sang Hongyun also nodded slightly. He Yan's analysis was very reasonable and using the Thousand Year Ice Frost could basically rule it out.

  "It seems that this Cheng Shao Yong is still quite capable, and he's actually managed to dig up such a powerful new student. Miao Chen, I'm assigning this task to you - investigate the owner of this medicinal tattoo as soon as possible, and then think of a way to bring him to the Xijin Academy of Magical Tattoos." Chai Sang instructed.

  "Got it, Principal." Miao Chen, who had been extremely quiet and expressionless, responded.
