The reason why Xiao Qing was able to activate equipment in the apprentice realm was because the martial arts she practiced were improved by Xiao Yichen. The martial arts improved by Xiao Yichen were combined with the internal skills practiced in previous lives and combined with the principle of magic elements.

The practice methods in this world are simple and disdainful. The magician's practice mainly involves meditating to gather magic elements into the magic pool. When casting spells, they mobilize the magic elements in the magic pool, cooperate with gestures, guide spells or magic equipment and other objects to complete the casting process. Upgrades are based on continuous accumulation and accumulation, and there is no relevant method of attack.

As for the practice of warriors, it is even simpler. In the initial apprenticeship stage, similar to magic apprentices, they also rely on meditation to complete element accumulation. Similarly, the place where elements accumulate is also in the Dantian, but not called the Magic Pool but instead called Qihai. To put it bluntly, the warrior's combat skills are actually relatively simple magic skills. The main thing is to guide the elements in the Qihai to weapons or equipment to complete the casting process.

In the final analysis, the essence of these two is actually the same. But Xiao Yichen has rich experience in his previous life, both in internal skills and mental methods and combat skills, and has completely different methods from those of the natives. Naturally, shortly after he started practicing, he began to study and combine the two. In his speculation, if the elements are practiced according to the internal force operation method, it can not only achieve the original intention of tempering the body, but also be able to use them as easily as internal force.

After his experiments, the operation of elements can indeed be run with meridians like internal force, and it is more convenient and faster than internal force. But the only thing that makes him unable to understand is that he can mobilize it. The element practices more and more smoothly in the body, but it is impossible to leave the body. As the magician rules say, in the apprentice stage, elements can only temper their bodies.

At first, he thought it was a constraint on this law. But when he passed on his internal skills to Qing'er, Qing'er not only practiced for a long time, but also could easily use the power of the element like internal force. Now, Xiao Yichen was confused. After repeated thinking, he had to think that this was a unique limitation of his special identity as a time traveler. Then it was natural that as long as he found a way to break through to the magician, the magic element would definitely be able to be used off the body.

More than two months ago, he successfully reached the level of a level ninth magic apprentice. Unlike others, in his magic pool, five different elements condensed into a small ball, which is not in charge of each other. Although theoretically, his appearance means that the magic pool is five times that of others. However, the strange characteristics of mutual disagreement mean that he must practice these five different elements independently, that is, he has to pay five times more time for others. Fortunately, he has a two-minded method, and can meditate anytime and anywhere without meditating on purpose, otherwise, just the time requirement will be exhausted.

In the following days, he did not dare to slack off every day when practicing. But strangely, after the five elemental balls in the magic pool accumulated to saturation, no matter how hard he tried or what method he used, it seemed that he could not make any progress. He could call the elements in any elemental ball to temper the body, but no matter which element he used to try, it would not reach the level of use left-off. As a last resort, he had to look for other methods. Killing monsters and upgrading is the most effective and most likely method he could think of.

Today, he fought hard and killed a third-level silver-haired snow ape. At some point, an elemental ball in the magic pool seemed to show signs of dying, but when he carefully captured and observed, the feeling disappeared, which made him very disappointed.

The Snow Ape is a third-level wind-attribute monster. It is known for its fast speed and high flexibility. Unexpectedly, he ended this honor today. The poor Snow Ape is not as fast as him and has no ability to fight back. When he only has the power to resist and has no ability to fight back, the so-called thick skin is simply a joke. No matter how strong the city is, it will inevitably be broken, let alone a third-level flesh and blood body?

It was still early, so Xiao Yichen did it himself. The snow ape was removed from his joints and beaten to death, so he was injured everywhere, but there was no external injury, and the fur was still intact.

Then everyone was surprised again, but saw a knife as big as a palm flying up and down in his hand like a butterfly. It was a piece of ape skin completely stripped off like taking off her clothes. The exquisite knife-control method actually fell accurately on the thin film between the skin and flesh. What a terrifying method!

After peeling, the ape's head was cut open and a second-level wind-attribute magic crystal was taken out. It seemed that the ape had not grown to its limit yet. No wonder its combat power was weak. The ape's flesh was picked from the bones and placed neatly. Yichuan noticed that the whole process took only less than twenty minutes from Xiao Yichen's skin to the end of the separation of the bones!

Wow! Yichuan and others were shocked and unable to describe it. This skill should not be seen from a rookie at all. Even among the mercenaries, his skills were definitely one of the best. When Xiao Yichen began to tan the ape skin skillfully, looking at the flowing techniques, Yichuan and his gang finally couldn't stand it.

"Master Han, please tell the old brother a secret." Yi Chuan was as sad as he was: "What is the origin of Master Xiao? He is so good at fighting. I will accept what secret technique you said about. But the skill of peeling and making skin is definitely not explained by a secret. Look at his technique, if it weren't for ten or eight years of hard work, how could it be so beautiful?"

Han Dong curled his lips: "Brother, you should learn to endure it. This is where it goes? If you can't even stand it, you will have your bitter fruits to eat. If you don't say anything else, look at Sister Na, didn't you go to barbecue with Qing'er happily? Learn! If you can't compare with anyone, you have to compete with a monster? Well, don't look at me like this... Okay, I'll just say, you can think about it yourself. Anyway, even if he catches a dragon as a mount tomorrow, I will never be surprised!"

Yichuan swallowed dryly, shook his head, and made a helpless expression with his brothers. This trip seemed to be a surprise.

When the mercenaries were on missions, in order to reduce the load, tools and materials for tanning skins were naturally indispensable. Xiao Yichen buried his head in dealing with the ape skins, in fact, in order to immerse himself in work and make it easier to think about the slight breakthrough just now. With a two-minded method, he could completely ensure that while he was thinking, he could do his best to achieve the best way to live.

Tanning leather craftsmanship is the pre-skill of tailors and forgeators in the game. Like tailors, for both forgeators, pharmacists, runes, etc., for scrollers who are known to be qualified to learn only by proficiency in the entire system, all life skills are basically pre-skills, which are commonly known as basic skills. As a scroller at the near-god level, these pre-skills have long been familiar with them. Therefore, it is no problem to deal with ape skin.

He felt that it was no big deal to deal with an animal skin, it was just a matter of convenience. But in the eyes of Yichuan and others, it was not the same thing. You should know that every time you go on a mercenary mission, in order to make more money, everyone wanted to load all the load into goods. After the amount was large, the handling of animal skin became a very important thing. As we all know, fresh animal skin contains a lot of water, and of course it would be much heavier.

But tanning fur is a very complex technique. Even among serious tailors, there are not many people who can handle it perfectly. Therefore, under normal circumstances, mercenaries can only dehydrate the peeled fur to facilitate the organization and carrying. It is better in winter, but in summer, the skin often becomes moldy or deformed due to dehydration, causing many regrettable losses.

Today, right in front of them, Xiao Yichen used the simple materials they carried themselves to process a piece of ape skin to the perfect product state only during the meal! God, if you can learn this skill, just the money you save every year will be a big sum!

When Xiao Yichen was dealing with it, he did not care about everyone, so everyone saw it. Of course, his brothers could think of it.

When Xiao Yichen saw Yichuan and several mercenary brothers surrounding the ape skin he had handled, his expression was sadder than the other. He was confused all of a sudden. Could this ape be a relative of their family? But he didn't say it when he fought! If that wasn't the case, why were these big brothers playing this?

"Mr. Xiao, where did you learn this method of tanning skin?"

"This is not a good skill, what should it do?" Xiao Yichen did not realize the meaning of it.

"That... the little one takes the liberty to ask, do you know if this method of tanning skin can be passed on to the little ones. Every year, just because of inappropriate handling, the animal skin we have worked hard to rot a large number of them, and then they will be deducted by those profiteers..."

"It's okay, this is not something worth keeping secret. It's very simple. You can learn it immediately after reading it."

Everyone was overjoyed and wanted to catch a monster immediately to study on the spot. Xiao Yichen advised everyone that their task was to capture monsters in the next few days, and it would not be too late to learn it at that time.

With this guarantee, the atmosphere in the camp became even more joyful. Just as everyone started having supper, a trace of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and bursts of muffled thunder came from afar.

Everyone was wondering, it was really strange, it was already winter, why did it still thunder?
