Chapter 2767: You've improved it?
The few Iron Peak Tribe members gathered to guess why the human race's progress was so fast; after all, it really was a bit strange—the Smelting Furnace Method shouldn't have such a strong effect.
Several people were chatting back and forth when, at that moment, a strong man seated at the head, who had remained silent, spoke.
"What's the use of guessing here? We'll know for sure if we go see for ourselves tomorrow."
Hearing this, the several tribe members present all nodded in agreement.
"What the elder brother said is correct—seeing is believing; we'll know exactly how if we go see for ourselves tomorrow."
"That's right, and who knows if these two are just lucky today; we'll see tomorrow at breakfast whether they can still eat."
"Yes."
Everyone had no objection, and first they wanted to see if those two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials could still succeed at tomorrow's breakfast, not just be a fleeting success.
When the next morning's breakfast came, with the same procedure, the human side's two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials again successfully broke through the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts' blockade and had their meal.
This caused the few Iron Peak Tribe members who had gathered the previous night to frown tightly; it seemed not a matter of luck but a genuine increase in strength, real ability.
In that case, it's necessary to go see exactly what's going on with the human race.
Before, they hadn't paid much attention or taken it seriously, but now the human race grew ever stranger, making the Iron Peak Tribe members unable to resist feeling curious.
Unconsciously, a sense of urgency arose in their hearts.
After all, the human race's progress is so fast; if this continues, in the future more of the Iron Peak Tribe might not get enough to eat.
Since each meal only has so much food, if the human side has one more mouth to feed, it means the Iron Peak Tribe and the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts side must have one less.
This is undoubtedly something the Iron Peak Tribe does not want to see.
So after finishing breakfast, those few Iron Peak Tribe members went straight to the place where the human race cultivates.
Upon arrival, they saw many human cultivators already training; speaking frankly, they admired their vigor from the bottom of their hearts.
They had never seen such desperate effort; even the Barbarian God Tribe, from birth onward, had possibly never trained so hard.
"They're still practicing the Smelting Furnace Method."
"It looks fine at first glance."
At first they didn't notice any difference, but after watching for a while, the leading strong man frowned tightly and couldn't help but speak.
"Their practice of the Smelting Furnace Method is wrong."
"Huh??? Elder brother, what's wrong? Isn't this just the Smelting Furnace Method?"
"Their Smelting Furnace Method has been altered."
"Huh???"
Upon hearing that the human cultivators' Smelting Furnace Method had been altered, the several of them were stunned.
Do the humans even have this capability? They even altered the Iron Peak Tribe's cultivation method?
After someone reminded them, upon closer observation they indeed found that the human cultivators' Smelting Furnace Method differed somewhat from the Iron Peak Tribe's original version.
Although the differences are minor, several places have indeed been altered.
Moreover, it's not hard for their eyes to see that the human race's altered Smelting Furnace Method is more radical.
It's a change that completely disregards consequences, seeking only rapid strength increase.
"These people……………………"
Watching the many human cultivators finish a round of Smelting Furnace Method practice, those few Iron Peak Tribe members fell silent.
It seemed they had found the reason why something was off with the human race.
These bastards have altered the Smelting Furnace Method; can't say it's better or worse, but it's definitely more radical and outrageous.
"Fellow cultivators, is something the matter?"
Just as the several were shocked, Zhao Tianqing, having finished his practice, took the initiative to step forward.
After all, they are still living under others' roof; besides when grabbing food, at other times when the human side encounters Iron Peak Tribe members, their attitude remains very enthusiastic.
No matter how you say it, this is someone else's territory; their current livelihood also comes from Ye Zhangqing's favor.
Even so, you still need to tell the difference between senior and junior.
So upon seeing those few Iron Peak Tribe members, Zhao Tianqing took the initiative to go meet them.
Looking at Zhao Tianqing's smiling face, the leading strong man also didn't beat around the bush, speaking bluntly as he asked.
"You've improved the Smelting Furnace Method?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tianqing was stunned for a moment, then he didn't hide anything, after all the Smelting Furnace Method originally was the Iron Peak Tribe's cultivation method.
In this matter, the human race still owes them a big favor.
Besides eating, Zhao Tianqing felt that for anything else, as long as it was within their ability, they definitely had to repay them.
So facing the strong man's inquiry, Zhao Tianqing also didn't conceal anything, smiling as he said.
"It's not really an improvement; it's just more suited to us humans."
Upon hearing that, the strong man and his companions fell silent for a moment; the human race is somewhat heaven-defying—they really did improve it, and in a direction that's even more reckless.
After a long silence, the strong man finally spoke.
"Can you teach me to run through it once?"
He was genuinely curious about how much the effect of the human race's improved Smelting Furnace Method had increased.
He had practiced the Smelting Furnace Method before, although he eventually gave it up; but enduring the pain of a single run should still be possible, so let's give it a try.
In response, Zhao Tianqing readily nodded and agreed, with no intention of hiding anything.
He personally taught the improved Smelting Furnace Method to the strong man, hand over hand.
Just like the human side, as a strong man who had also practiced the Smelting Furnace Method, grasping the improved version was not difficult.
It's just a few small tweaks; the overall framework remains unchanged.
After one run he had mastered it; immediately, the strong man assumed a stance and prepared to begin cultivation.
However, as soon as he took the first stance, he felt a pain more intense than the original Smelting Furnace Method, instantly spreading throughout his body.
That was not like the heart being pinched by someone; instead, the whole five viscera and six bowels felt as if gripped by an invisible big hand, under fierce squeezing.
That pain could not be described in words at all.
The next second, the strong man felt a sweetness in his throat, and immediately a large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
This directly scared the other few people present silly, and they hurried forward.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
"How are you, big brother?"
He's already coughing up blood just as it started; is this Xiūliàn of the Smelting Furnace Method? The Smelting Furnace Method shouldn't cause blood coughing, right?
Anyway, the Barbarian God Tribe's Xiūliàn of the Smelting Furnace Method, although the pain is unbearable, hasn't yet reached the point of coughing blood.
Let alone coughing blood right from the start.
The few were anxiously concerned, but Zhao Tianqing beside them was unsurprised; after all, among the Human Race, whoever cultivates this improved Smelting Furnace Method ends up coughing blood—everyone does, and they've grown accustomed to it.
So, facing the few's worries, Zhao Tianqing didn't think much and blurted out a sentence subconsciously.
"Coughing blood is normal; just get used to it."
Huh???
"What kind of talk is that."
