Chu Qiguang looked around this circle, and what he saw was full of opportunities to make money, but unfortunately if you want to make money in this era, it is best to have an official body, or a relative is an official, and once again you have to hug the thigh of a fellow official.

Otherwise, without an officialdom background, if the business is a little bigger, it will be eaten alive by life.

And as long as you have an official body, even if you can't do business, the money will come to the door by itself.

For the time being, I can only watch, and the top priority is to find a way to take the martial arts test and borrow the power of the imperial court. ’

And judging from the price of goods...... It seems that there is really going to be a war? Go back and ask Qiao Zhi what he thinks. ’

Chu Qiguang changed his clothes back after shopping and put them in his arms. This dress is enough for his family's expenses for several months, and he doesn't usually plan to wear it.

After returning home and putting away the clothes, the mother saw the new clothes and asked again, and Chu Qiguang perfunctory them one by one.

Qiao Zhi leaned on the roof and yawned, and asked, "Why did you go for so long this time?"

Because he knew that Chu Qiguang was going to the Taoist temple to buy ointment, Qiao Zhi was worried that he would not go when he met the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, so he stayed at home.

Chu Qiguang: "I went to the county town for a walk. ”

"Brother!"

At this moment, I saw my sister put down the fish balls and rushed over, hugged Chu Qiguang's thigh, and asked pitifully, "I miss you." ”

Chu Qiguang: "I think you want to eat meat, I didn't get meat today." ”

The second dog's sister collapsed in the face, immediately let go of the hands she was holding, turned around and ran back to the house.

But after a while, she ran out again, holding half a baked dough cake in her hand and handing it to Chu Qiguang: "Brother, this is what I left for you in the morning, when you are full, you will go to catch rabbits tomorrow, you will definitely be able to catch them." ”

Chu Qiguang took the baked dough cake and touched his sister's head, only to feel that although the other party was a little silly, it was also quite cute.

He took out the steamed pie brought by the county from his arms and handed it to his sister: "Although the meat didn't hit, I bought two pies, and you and your mother should share it." ”

Taking a bite of the pie, my sister looked at the pie in shock: "What is this?"

Chu Qiguang: 'Poor silly child, I haven't even eaten pies. ’

The younger sister on the other side was already holding the pie and couldn't wait to run to her mother's side, shouting as she ran: "Mother! Come and eat it! This is better than meat!"

The mother of the second dog asked, "Why is the piece of baked dough I left for the dog?"

The younger sister said, "I have already given it to my brother, and he is very happy to eat." Mother, please try this ...... that is better than meat."

Chu Qiguang, who was standing outside the door, rubbed his forehead, and was actually exploited by his sister for half a cake.

Qiao Zhi, Yudan, and Jinxiu on the side rubbed each other, licked each other's necks and tails, turned their heads and said to Chu Qiguang: "You tell your sister not to bully my cat." ”

Chu Qiguang was curious: "Did he bully Yutang and Jinxiu?"

Qiao Zhi said dissatisfiedly: "She actually wants the cat to farm for him! Fortunately, the fish balls and Jinxiu pretend to be stupid, you have to take care of your sister." ”

Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Command animals to farm?"

Seeing him like this, Qiao Zhi's body stiffened, and he scolded in his heart: "Gan...... Won't give him any inspiration, will it?'

However, Chu Qiguang did not respond to Qiao Zhi, and then he divided the exchanged copper coin with three hundred wen to Ergou's mother, the copper coin exchanged from the silver shop was not bad, and the copper content was not low, three hundred wen was equivalent to half a tael of silver.

Then Chu Qiguang told his mother that he was working for the Wang family now, and there was no need to worry about the grain tax this time, and the Wang family would help solve it.

Before leaving, he told the other party not to reveal his wealth, and Chu Qiguang took the Hundred Refining Paste and Qiao Zhi to the back mountain together.

This time, it was still Qiao Zhi who slapped the ointment on Chu Qiguang's body, this hundred refining ointment is also worthy of the signature ointment of the Heavenly Master Sect, with Qiao Zhi's patting, a trace of medicinal power directly penetrated the skin and merged into Chu Qiguang's flesh and blood.

Qiao Zhi said: "The effect of using the Hundred Refining Paste for the first time is the best, you must wait for the medicinal power to completely penetrate into the flesh and blood before starting to cultivate, so that this first medicine can get the maximum medicinal effect." ”

Chu Qiguang only felt that flames seemed to rise in his body, making him can't help but want to pour out the power of his body and release this flame.

"Forbearance!" Qiao Zhi shouted, "Wait until I'm done applying the ointment before moving." ”

When Qiao Zhi finished applying all the ointments and slapped his last palm on Chu Qiguang's vest, he felt as if gunpowder had been detonated in his body, and after a burst of shouting, he cast the Heavenly Spirit Forging Body Fist.

This set of basic boxing techniques taught by the Heavenly Master is the only martial arts that Chu Qiguang knows, and every time he performs it from beginning to end, he can exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body, and can also integrate the strength of the whole body.

At this moment, there seemed to be an endless source of power in his body, and as he performed this set of fist techniques again and again, the medicinal power of the Hundred Refining Paste was continuously absorbed by his flesh and blood. It wasn't until half an hour later that Chu Qiguang was completely exhausted, and the medicinal power was fully absorbed by his physical body.

But with a wave of his fist, Chu Qiguang said regretfully: "I still haven't been able to break through to the first realm." ”

Qiao Zhi on the side said: "I told you that martial arts are not Taoism, and you can break through the realm without blinking." This time, your physical body uses the Hundred Refining Paste to assist in cultivation, not only the flesh and blood are fully nourished by the medicinal power, but also the Heavenly Spirit Forging Body Fist assists, and the progress is bound to be not small. ”

"But you have just finished cultivating, not only is your physical strength exhausted, but after the muscles and muscles of your whole body have been exercised, you also need to recover again to strengthen, and you will break through immediately if you have medicine. ”

"You continue to eat, meditate, and nourish your body, and tomorrow when your physical strength and muscles have recovered, your physical body will naturally break through. ”

So then Chu Qiguang continued to meditate, warm his body, and learn to read and write under the guidance of Qiao Zhi.

That night, he took the time to go to Wang's house again, and fulfilled the agreement to give 'treatment' to Wang Cailiang, the young master of the Wang family, every day.

......

It was on the back hill the next morning.

Chu Qiguang, who felt that his body had completely recovered, let out a low snort, and punched out the air, directly making a crackling explosion.

Then he threw a series of punches and kicks, each blow as if to burst the air, sending out gusts of wind and thunder.

After more than twenty punches in a row, Chu Qiguang felt a decline in his physical strength, so he couldn't make an air explosion.

He stopped and took a few breaths, and said with a smile: "Since I have been practicing martial arts, I have been conscientious all the time, walking on thin ice, and I dare not relax in the slightest moment. Looking back on the past, the past is like smoke. ”

It blew like six years. Qiao Zhi thought on the side that Chu Qiguang had only cultivated the martial arts for six days and was in the first realm, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Six days is a fart of penance." ”

Chu Qiguang looked at his body with satisfaction after breaking through to the first realm of martial arts.

The originally thin body has been slightly strong after the past six days of foundation building, medicine supplements, food supplements, and cultivation, and obvious muscle lines can be seen in the limbs and driving parts, and even the height has grown a little.

He touched his abdominal muscles and said, "If you are in the first realm of martial arts, you can go to the Yingluo Pavilion in the county, right?"

The so-called Yingluo Pavilion was originally a martial arts school funded by several wealthy families in Qingyang County, and it was specially designed to train talents for their respective families to participate in martial arts.

However, as the power of the wealthy clan in Qingyang County became more and more entrenched, more and more squires and eunuchs sent their children to the Yingluo Pavilion.

Today, as all the places in Qingyang County to participate in the martial arts are monopolized by these squires and wealthy families, although the martial arts county examination held every three years is not explicitly stated, the participants are all students of the Yingluo Pavilion.

Therefore, if you want to take the martial arts examination in Qingyang County, you must first join the Yingluo Museum.

There are two conditions for joining, the first is to have the first realm of martial arts, the realm of qi throughout the body. The second is that someone needs to recommend it.

As far as Chu Qiguang knew, Wang Cailiang's father, Wang Chengwang, had studied in the Yingluo Pavilion, and was very familiar with some officials and wealthy families in the county, and had the qualifications to recommend.
