38 Another year(1/2)
Su Chen and A Chou finished eating the snake soup, blood ginseng and medicinal meal in the ruined temple of the City God, and practiced and practiced martial arts. It was the evening before they could enjoy their lives.
The two made an appointment to meet again in Gusu County, and then said goodbye. A Chou thought about his manure truck worth several copper coins and hurried back to the county town.
Su Chen returned to Yaowang Villa and passed by a martial arts performance venue inside the villa.
This martial arts venue covers an area of dozens of acres and can accommodate thousands of people.
Every evening, the martial arts performance venue at Yaowang Villa is very lively. There are always hundreds of new and young men, as well as young seniors, or watching the game or going to have a competition.
The disciples of the Jianghu gang practice martial arts, of course, in order to one day "relying on the sword of the Jianghu and become famous all over the world."
However, the new disciples in the Medicine King Gang are not allowed to participate in disputes and fights in the world at will before reaching the third level.
Most of the new disciples can only "discuss" the martial arts field in the villa, and have a lot of fun in the martial arts and brothers.
It was evening, and a group of new disciples from the inner and outer sects gathered to be lively and lively. It seemed that several inner sect disciples were competing, and the outer sect disciples were cheering.
Su Chen was busy practicing or working as a chore, so he rarely came to the martial arts field to watch and exchange competitions.
This time he and A Chou had a discussion at the City God Temple, but unfortunately A Chou was still not in the right place and his martial arts were messy and lacked foundation, which made Su Chen feel unsatisfied.
He couldn't help but feel moved and headed towards the gathering crowd, wanting to see the strength of the other new disciples of the Medicine King Help and see how deep he is.
Of course, Su Chen just went to see it and did not have the idea of going to compete with him.
He is a disciple of the Servant Clan.
The disciples of the Servant Clan have no status in the Medicine King Gang. If the Servant Clan is looking for someone to compete in the martial arts field, it will definitely cause a burst of laughter from other disciples in the church, and they will leave quickly and not take up any space.
At least, we must also have to have a disciple of the Knife Protection Hall, a third-rate warrior at the realm of cultivation, and practice a low-level intermediate martial arts skill, so that we dare to show our talents in this martial arts field and "discuss" with other disciples of the same sect.
Of course, if the inner disciples of the Alchemy Hall and the Zhijian Hall come to compete, the atmosphere will definitely be hot and lively, enough to attract hundreds of disciples to watch and support.
"Okay! Senior Brother Li's move, "Meteor Picking the Moon", is indeed brilliant!"
"Senior Brother Wang is amazing, the 'Iron Sand Palm' blocked it in an instant."
The outer disciples watching the battle around him burst into cheers and cheering from time to time.
Su Chen looked around for a while, but was a little disappointed.
He found that these two so-called masters of inner disciples were unfamiliar with slow moves and full of loopholes. Their level was really average and they didn't have much attention.
Su Chen was puzzled and didn't understand why those outer disciples would shout.
But after careful consideration, it may be related to your high vision and rapid improvement in understanding martial arts.
He was no longer the former Wu Xia Amon, and most of his low-level martial arts were flawed in his eyes.
And those real second-rate and first-rate masters of the Medicine King Gang have all gone to the world and will not appear in the martial arts performance field in the villa.
Su Chen looked at it for a while and was no longer interested and turned around and left.
...
Back at the Servant Hall, Su Chen returned to his peaceful and monotonous life. He only worked in the Servant Hall every day and earned some wages.
The tragic disciples in the tragic hall are not under the control of their masters and are more comfortable on weekdays.
As a low-level deacon, Su Chen can choose chores by himself and arrange his own time to practice. He only needs to complete a certain amount of chores tasks every month.
He specializes in picking errands that can be completed in a very short time.
For example, patrolling mountains and guarding the new warehouses, transporting a batch of cheap herbs to pharmacies in various counties, sending letters to neighboring counties, etc.
He patrols the mountains and guards, earning the least amount of copper coins, and he can only earn about ten coins at a time. Fortunately, he only guards for two hours at night, so he can save a lot of time during the day to practice.
When you go to the neighboring county to deliver goods and mail, you can earn thirty or fifty copper plates at a time, and the round trip usually takes up to one or two days.
However, he can practice entry-level footwork on the road, which is equivalent to being practicing martial arts all the time and not really wasting time.
Such a choreographed job is also Su Chen’s favorite.
Su Chen went to another county to go on a mission, passing through barren mountains and ridges. With his extraordinary perception, he often found wild herbs hidden in the grass on the roadside.
He picked it up and kept it for his body tempering and practice, so that he could use green turbid water to cultivate herbs.
After accumulating in this way, Su Chen could earn about seven or eight hundred copper coins.
Not too many, but it's enough for him to use.
Most of the time, Su Chen is immersed in the practice of the lower dantian and the introductory martial arts, practicing for at least four hours a day.
Such high-intensity practice will cause great physical loss, and a large amount of nourishing and herbal quenching body is required.
About every four or five days, Su Chen looked inside his bloodline, muscles and bones, and specially matched with a pair of low-level body-quenching medicinal materials. He caught wild snakes, rabbits, etc. in the wild, boiled medicine soup and took it internally to stimulate his own qi and blood and make up for bone wear to ensure that his body will not be damaged due to high-intensity practice.
Because it is a special medicine for the right medicine, Su Chen's herbs have excellent body quenching effect, and naturally progresses rapidly after cultivation.
In this way, Su Chen was in the escort hall, turning a blind eye to the outside world, and focused on practicing martial arts, while studying the medicinal properties of various herbs.
Every month, he would occasionally go to the eastern suburbs of the county town, and the city god broke into a temple.
A Chou often practices martial arts at the City God's Temple. The two of them eat snake soup together, practice martial arts skills, and increase their practical experience.
Ah Chou's cultivation progress was also quite rapid. In just a few months, he broke through the third-rate realm.
With Su Chen, a "third-rate top expert", accompanying the competition, Ah Chou's martial arts have increased dramatically, and he can even hold on to Su Chen's hands with one or two moves without losing.
This is already a very good strength.
One day, Ah Chou excitedly told Su Chen about something.
Manager Wang’s son, Mr. Wang, brought three or five outer disciples to him to "discuss" and took the opportunity to bully him.
Ah Chou was bullied for more than a year and broke through the third-rate realm, he never wanted to endure it anymore.
He started fighting against the outside door with Young Master Wang and others on the spot, but in a few punches, he knocked down the arrogant Young Master Wang down.
The shopkeeper Wang is just a scheming that bullies the weak and fears the strong. His incompetent strength is no longer as good as him. He was hit on the face with a punch and his nose was beaten crooked, and he begged for mercy in a mess.
Several other outer disciples besieged together, but they were still no match for A Chou. They were beaten to death by A Chou and ran away in panic.
This incident made Ah Chou proud and would no longer have to be angry with the outer disciples of the Tianying Sect in the future.
After hearing this, Su Chen was naturally very happy for A Chou.
He prescribed a body-tempering prescription for A Chou to quickly break through the third-rate realm, hoping that A Chou will no longer be bullied by his fellow disciples of the Tianying Sect.
...
Time flies fast.
Summer has disappeared and autumn has arrived, winter has gone and spring has come. More than a year has passed in Su Chen's house.
In short, it has been two years since I joined the Medicine King Gang.
Su Chen has grown from a twelve-year-old thin boy in the fishing family to a fourteen-year-old disciple of the Medicine King Gang. He has grown a lot taller and has a lot stronger body.
In just over a year, he practiced hard and practiced hard, from the early stage of the lower dantian to the later stage, he had a strong qi and blood, which was considered to have reached a small perfection.
Further up, there is the Zhongdantian and the realm of true qi.
Among the outer disciples who joined the Medicine King Gang in the same year, no one could match Su Chen.
Even the inner disciples of the same year had very few who had reached his level of cultivation, only Wang Fugui, Wei Han and others.
In addition to the significant improvement of his martial arts realm, his pharmacist level has also made great progress.
The new disciples of the Medicine King Gang, whether they are inner disciples or even young pharmacists in the Pharma Hall, are still only memorizing various herbs and medicinal effects, and lacking in-depth understanding of the medicinal properties.
However, Su Chen has been constantly trying medicines personally, preparing body-tempering prescriptions, and experiencing the efficacy of various prescriptions.
With the extraordinary "inner vision", Su Chen's different effects on each herb can be seen at a glance, and the effects of stimulating qi and blood, relaxing meridians and revitalizing meridians, removing blood stasis, bone wear, healing, etc. before and after the medication, and can be seen clearly.
Su Chen's pharmacological level naturally increased significantly day by day.
In just one year, Su Chen's understanding of the medicinal properties of most herbs is even better than the pharmacists in the alchemy hall with twenty or thirty years of experience.
Su Chen was very satisfied with the improvement of his martial arts realm and medicine realm.
There is just one regret, that is, his martial arts are still introductory.
He can earn 700 to 800 coins in the Servant Hall every month, and earn 8 taels of silver a year, which is quite a lot.
But as a servant, the meals in the kitchen have to be paid by themselves, and they have to spend 100 coins a month.
Moreover, Su Chen asked the butcher Zhang to help him every month to bring some broken silver to his parents in Zhouzhuang's hometown, and four or five taels of silver were used here.
Su Chen used the medicinal materials he planted with green turbid water, as well as some body-tempering herbs picked from the wild, and used them by himself, with a clear medicinal aroma.
In order to prevent others from doubting the origin of his medicinal bath, he had to go to the pharmacy to buy back a few of the cheapest and lowest-age herbs to use.
If someone is suspicious of his progress in his cultivation and the aroma of medicine on his body, he can also find records of his purchasing body-tempering herbs in the alchemy hall to clear his suspicion.
Even if you buy the lowest age and lowest grade medicinal materials, such herbs still cost 200 to 300 copper coins, and buying them once a month is a considerable expense.
He earned money for a year in the Servant Hall, spent seven or eight, and only had less than one or two taels of silver left.
The martial arts secrets of Yaowang Villa Bookstore, it costs one or two taels of silver to buy a low-level martial arts book.
As for intermediate martial arts, it is even more expensive, at most ten taels. High-level martial arts even cost hundreds of taels of silver, which is astonishingly high.
Although Su Chen could use Qingzhu Lingshui to cultivate some high-level herbs, he did not dare to sell them in the medicine shop outside. He just secretly used them in private and could not get the money back.
