Arrow Upgrade

"Brother, come and see, all our Deep Black Arrows are broken."

Shen Yuan retrieved the thirty-two dark black arrows that had killed the lantern ghosts the night before. She noticed that each of the arrows had lost its color and had many cracks on its shaft.

Its destructive power is now estimated to be almost the same as that of an ordinary wooden arrow.

It is clearly unusable.

Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged.

Arrows are consumables.

Especially when dealing with monsters, if the weapon quality is not good enough, the monster can shatter the weapon it attacks with just a breath.

In essence, the Deep Black Arrow is simply made of deep black ebony wood that contains a trace of yang energy.

It's already quite good that it can be used to hunt lantern ghosts.

"Without the Deep Black Arrow, we can no longer hunt Lantern Ghosts."

Shen Kun spoke in a low voice, paused, and then suggested to Shen Yi, "Brother, why don't we go to the village's hunting team and ask if they have any extra Deep Black Arrows?"

"Don't contact the villagers for now."

Shen Yi shook his head.

The villagers are not a united front; everyone has their own agenda.

My parents were previously well-known practitioners in the village and made certain contributions to the village.

But after they passed away, the people of Heishan Village showed no intention of helping the three siblings.

In particular, the villagers were clearly aware that Sun Wen had cheated them out of a 400-pound wild boar that was almost demonic, yet no one spoke up for them.

I recalled the earnest advice my parents had given me.

In this world, you can never trust anyone; only yourself is the most reliable person.

Therefore, Shen Yi's vigilance towards the people of Black Mountain Village had reached its peak.

Before he officially became a cultivator, he would not easily come into contact with the people in the village.

As for the Deep Black Arrow...

Shen Yi casually picked up a dark black arrow and put it in his hand.

[Deep Black Arrow - Level 0]

[Function: Can deal damage to Tier 1 monsters]

【Characteristics: None】

【Durability: 0/100】

……

The durability value indeed dropped to the lowest level.

Shen Yi felt a pang of regret, but the next moment, he immediately upgraded the completely damaged Deep Black Arrow.

Swah——

As the thought settled.

Shen Kun and his companion then saw the deep black arrow in their elder brother's hand. The cracks quickly healed, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state, with the arrow's color becoming even darker.

[Deep Black Arrow - Level 1]

[Function: Can deal massive damage to Tier 1 monsters]

【Characteristics: Hard (white, slightly increased hardness)】

【Durability: 100/100】

[Materials collected: 16 Shadow Wood]

Upgrading Deep Black Arrow to level 1 cost 1 unit of Shadow Wood!

Shen Yi felt a pang of regret at the amount of money he was spending.

With the Yin Soul Wood he currently possesses, he can only upgrade 17 Deep Black Arrows.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan's eyes lit up; they already had some understanding of their elder brother's talent.

He immediately took the upgraded Deep Black Arrow in his hand with a delighted expression and began to play with and ponder it.

Shen Yi suppressed a pang of heartache.

After all, once the Deep Black Arrow reaches level 1, it gains the toughness attribute, so it shouldn't be so easily damaged when dealing with Lantern Ghosts.

He can earn it back quickly if he kills a few more lantern ghosts.

"Let's see how much Yin Soul Wood is needed to upgrade the Evil-Breaking Wooden House to level 2."

Shen Yi put a unit of Yin Soul Wood into the Yin-Suppressing Wooden House.

[Zhenyin Wooden House - Level 1 (Upgrading in progress 1/20)]

To upgrade the Town Yin Wooden House to level 2, you need a total of twenty Yin Soul Woods.

He currently doesn't have enough Yin Soul Wood to upgrade.

Immediately.

Without hesitation, Shen Yi chose to use all the remaining Yin Soul Wood to upgrade the Deep Black Arrow.

As for the Yin Wood Longbow, it's sufficient for now, and there's no need to upgrade it further.

What they need to consider is hunting more Lantern Ghosts as soon as possible to obtain Shadowwood; upgrading Deep Black Arrows is definitely a must.

"Brother, are we not going to continue repairing the remaining Deep Black Arrows?"

Seeing that Shen Yi had stopped after repairing the sixteen Deep Black Arrows, Shen Kun couldn't help but ask.

"We're running out of Soul Wood. One piece of Soul Wood can only repair one Deep Black Arrow. We'll have to hunt down another batch of Lantern Ghosts tonight."

Shen Yi stood up and said crisply.

Shen Kun then realized what was happening.

The thought of continuing to hunt lantern ghosts tonight ignited a burning desire within him.

In Black Mountain Village, besides the village chief, who dares to say they can hunt more than ten lantern ghosts in one night?

The three siblings did it!

"Dismantle the wooden skeletons of these lantern ghosts for firewood. After dinner, hurry up and practice the Wild Bull Kung Fu."

Shen Yi looked at Shen Yuan, "Little Yuan, I'll teach you the proper way to practice the Wild Bull Kung Fu later. Study hard."

"Yes, brother!"

Shen Yuan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

Because girls develop earlier, they can usually start practicing martial arts around the age of ten.

Boys are usually around twelve or thirteen years old.

If it's a family like the village chief's, they can provide medicinal baths to lay a good foundation for their children's health when they are young, and the time for cultivation can be brought forward even further.

Otherwise, if nutrition is inadequate, children from ordinary families will have to be delayed for several years.

If you force yourself to cultivate when your physical condition is not up to par, your qi and blood will become increasingly depleted.

When Shen Yi was born, his parents were only cultivators at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm. Later, their cultivation gradually improved to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Due to his family's financial situation, he had to postpone his spiritual practice time again and again.

It wasn't until he was fifteen that his body was properly established.

The second son, Shen Kun, was fourteen years old when he began his formal cultivation at the beginning of this year.

As for the younger sister, Shen Yuan, she is already nine years old.

Moreover, she was pampered by her parents from a young age, and they would often bring back medicinal herbs from the wild to nourish her body.

In the eyes of Shen's parents, because of their low cultivation level, they had difficulty going out to collect resources and had already missed the growth stages of their eldest and second sons.

Now that they have achieved a certain level of cultivation, they have access to more resources outside, so naturally they cannot miss their youngest daughter's growth stage.

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Shen consciously nourished their youngest daughter's body from a very young age.

The original plan was to have her try practicing the Wild Bull Technique at this stage of the year.

Therefore, the timing is perfect for Shen Yuan to begin cultivating the Savage Bull Technique.

Shen Yi also had high expectations for his younger sister.

After all, the younger sister's physique, nurtured since childhood, was already in no way inferior to her two older brothers in terms of strength, even at a young age.

If one were to formally cultivate the Wild Bull Technique, one would likely find the key to condensing qi and blood very quickly.

After dinner.

Shen Kun went to the side and began practicing the Wild Bull Kung Fu. The venison he had just eaten quickly turned into warm currents that slowly spread throughout his body.

Shen Yi then started practicing the Wild Bull Kung Fu with Shen Yuan.

"The 'Bull Warrior' is divided into two chapters."

"The first is the 'Bull Stance,' which focuses on training methods; the second is the 'Bull Three Forms,' which focuses on combat techniques!"

"Once you reach the Qi and Blood Realm, you can use the Qi and Blood you generate to circulate the Three Forms of the Savage Bull, which will help you fight against demons and monsters."
