The words of poor literature and rich martial arts are not for fun.

Martial arts training is already a huge consumption, and a large amount of tonic is needed to replenish the body's essence consumption, and the materials consumed are not a small number.

Sufficient rice is only a basic need, and there must be nutritious and nutritious meat with a lot of protein, which is the real big consumer.

Although there are immortals and gods in the Great Song Empire, to be honest, the level of productivity is not very good.

The production tools are quite simple, the technical content is very average, it requires a lot of skilled labor to operate, and the efficiency is not very good.

Although the land is very fertile because of the aura of heaven and earth, and the production is not comparable to the demonless world, due to the backward technology, there is no large-scale breeding base, and the output and price of meat have been high, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In addition to the food supply, the largest consumption of martial arts training is medicinal materials.

The more exquisite the martial arts, whether it is to build a foundation or to improve, they require the medicinal soup and medicinal bath of the medicinal materials to be configured, and the consumption is extremely amazing.

Fortunately, with the ability of Thunder Tiger, the medicinal power of ordinary herbs can be maximized through means, and there is no need for ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and deer antler velvet and other precious medicinal materials, otherwise the consumption is really amazing.

In short, if you want to practice martial arts and become famous, you can't do it without money.

Li Gongfu is okay, his family is a fast catcher, his father has been a head catcher for more than ten or twenty years, and the family's savings are still enough to supply him for martial arts, and he doesn't need to worry about money.

The other disciples of the Qin Feng Martial Arts Pavilion were not so lucky.

Their family can only be said to be average, and even one of them is an orphan wandering on the street, where can they get the wealth for their cultivation?

Lei Hu didn't have the idea of making a full offering, he was kind at the beginning of the entry, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all rounded, but after the disciples of his disciples started martial arts, in addition to accommodation, the rest of the things for food and clothing, as well as the medicinal materials needed for cultivation, had to find a way to solve it by himself.

This is also the main reason why the cultivation progress of several of them has always been suppressed by Li Gongfu, among them, there are three or two disciples whose talents and qualifications are quite good, much stronger than Li Gongfu.

Fortunately, Qiantang County has a developed economy and prosperous commerce, and it is quite easy to find a way to make money.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the cultivation of the introductory strength and physical fitness, it is very strong, and the workload on the dock can be compared to more than ten skilled dock coolies.

With acquaintances like Li Zhutou to help introduce temporary work, as long as you work hard, what you get in one day is comparable to what ordinary people get in half a month or even a month.

has the face of Li Zhutou, and he has a good martial arts, and he doesn't have to worry about being charged protection money, and he doesn't have to do any heavy physical work, and when he is busy with the dock work, he has to do some small jobs in the county, which barely supports the cost of their cultivation.

This is still backed by the Qiantang River, and a large number of cheap fresh fish and shrimp can be obtained, otherwise the demand and consumption of meat when practicing martial arts will not be able to hold on to simply buying in the market.

Lei Hu didn't have the idea of being a nanny, although his disciples had a difficult life, he didn't want to help, and it was quite good to be able to use ordinary medicinal materials to configure suitable medicinal soups and medicinal baths.

At least, the training progress of these disciples has not been left behind, but it is only a little slower than Li Gongfu, which is already quite commendable.

Not to mention anything else, after several years of busy part-time work, the survival ability of the disciples and the ability to adapt to the environment have been greatly improved, and there are even signs of being able to stand alone.

However, recently, as their strength has reached the middle and late stages of the innate stage, they are stronger than several other martial arts halls in the city, and the lives of several disciples are much better, and they can take over some work for the rich and noble, and the amount of silver money they earn has suddenly increased, and they no longer need to go to the dock to work as coolies.

In other words, this is also because of the black Jiao, the owner of the martial arts hall in the city died three times and injured two of them, which made the situation of several martial arts halls quite bad all of a sudden.

The internal battle of the hall owners, as well as the attenuation of influence, gave the disciples of the Qin Feng Martial Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Although it makes a lot of money to do some dangerous things for the powerful family, the strength required is also quite good, and it is easy to encounter danger without that strength, and it is common to lose your life or be seriously injured.

The more serious consequence is that once the reputation is smashed, it will not be easy to take such a job in the future.

Whether it is that they want to compete for the hall master, or they feel that their strength is not enough to solve the problem, in short, several martial arts halls in the city have been very low-key recently, and a lot of work has been missed from them, all of which have been taken over by the disciples of Lei Hu.

With their innate strength in the middle and late stages, coupled with Li Zhutou's help, as long as the task is not particularly dangerous, they can basically complete it successfully and get a lot of money.

In this way, the life of the disciples of the Thunder Tiger Sect will be much easier, and they will be able to spend more time and energy on cultivating martial arts to improve their strength.

After experiencing the two incidents of the Black Jiao's harm and the change in the tide of the Qiantang River, the disciples of the Qin Feng Martial Arts Pavilion have a sense of urgency and want to raise their strength to a higher level, so that even if they encounter a powerful existence like Black Jiao in the future, they will not become pure spectators, and they have to worry about their own safety.

It's just that life has just gotten better, and Li Gongfu suddenly came with bad news, and the price of medicinal materials in the city has actually risen, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

It doesn't make them despair, but anger is indispensable.

They practice every day, and in addition to the consumption of rice and meat, the largest consumption is medicinal materials, and basically most of the money they earn in their hands is consumed on this.

Even if they have a little more money recently, once the price of medicinal materials rises, it will have a great impact on them, and they may have to live the same tight life as before, for fear that the money they earn every day will not be enough to spend.

"Senior brother, what's going on, why did the price of medicinal materials in the city suddenly rise?"

"Yes, senior brother, seeing that the days are a little looser, once the price of medicinal materials rises, we will have to go to the dock every day to work as coolies!"

"Senior brother, we are not afraid of fatigue, but it takes too much energy to do work, and the time left for us to cultivate every day is too short, so it is not good for us to slow down our progress!"

“……”

Several juniors and disciples came over with an anxious face, and expressed their opinions, all of them with very unpleasant faces, obviously the news of the increase in the price of medicinal materials had a great impact on them.

"I don't know too much about this!"

Li Gongfu smiled bitterly: "It's just that when I came, I saw that the pharmacy was doing a prosperous business, and I heard a few people who bought medicinal materials say casually, and I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

A junior brother hurriedly said: "Let's go over and ask what is going on, if the price really rises, you have to prepare in advance, otherwise when you really don't have enough money in your hand, it will be called depressed!" ”

"Let's go, let's go to the nearest herb shop and ask!"

Several martial arts hall disciples were anxious, and after saying hello to their master Lei Hu, they hurriedly went out to inquire about the news, which naturally disappointed them.

The price of medicinal materials has really risen.

When he returned to the martial arts hall, except for Li Gongfu's expression, which was quite normal, the expressions of the rest of the disciples were quite dull, and Lei Hu said angrily when he saw it: "Why is it like this, the sky hasn't fallen yet!" ”

"Master, the price of medicinal materials has risen!"

One of the disciples replied with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the disciples and others will start to work as coolies on the docks again!" ”

"If you are a coolie, you will be a coolie, haven't you never done it before?"

Lei Hu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's only been a few days of comfortable life, so I can't endure hardship?" ”

"It's not a master, it's just that the cultivation time is much shorter!"

"Yes, a few of us learned martial arts later than Senior Brother, if the cultivation time is shorter, how can we catch up?"

"It's a pity that the big families in the city don't often have work to earn money, otherwise it would be much easier!"

“……”

The disciples of the martial arts hall said that they were unhappy one by one, but they did not complain about doing uncomfortable things with hard labor, but they were worried that the gap in strength between them and the senior brother was getting bigger and bigger.

It is also Lei Hu's strict restraints, not allowing them to use force to do the things of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' and 'doing chivalrous deeds', otherwise it will be much easier to get money, how can there be so many troubles.

Li Gongfu was very embarrassed, standing aside and not knowing what to say, he was also very helpless, who told the Li family that there was no shortage of money for him to practice?

"What so much nonsense?"

Lei Hu reprimanded angrily: "I don't know what you think, isn't it possible that in addition to cultivating in the martial arts hall is cultivation, when you are doing coolies to make money, can't you take the opportunity to cultivate?" ”

Speaking of this, he was really angry, and said angrily: "When you are doing coolies, can't you integrate the kinetic work into it?" ”

"When you're running back and forth, can't you practice the Light Gong Body Method?"

"When you hold a heavy object in your hand, you don't use it as a special broadsword?"

A series of questions directly confused several disciples of the martial arts hall.

Including Li Gongfu, they all looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

But at the same time, their hearts shook again and again, as if a door was opening in front of them, allowing them to see a different and beautiful scenery.

Yes, why didn't they think that while they were busy doing coolies and doing small jobs to make money, they would integrate their cultivation into it, so that they would be in a state of cultivation all the time.

Maybe the cultivation effect is not as strong as the Anxin exercise in the martial arts hall, but they go out to do coolies and do small jobs every day for a long time, even if the cultivation effect of this is only one-tenth of the normal cultivation, it is enough to make them happy, so that their strength is not too far behind the senior brother.

Li Gongfu was also surprised, this is happy for his junior brothers, and he doesn't want the difference in strength between his junior and junior disciples to be too big, otherwise it will be difficult to play together in the future.
