"I can't practice today, and I'm not allowed to eat at all, except for Jiangcheng!"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh a little, although this Zuo Wenbin was a little greedy for money, he was still conscientious when he taught his disciples.

According to this cultivation progress, as long as it takes a week, the brute strength can be entered.

Of course, Jiang Cheng would not be stupid enough to expose his anti-heaven talent in martial arts.

In this way, day after day, Jiang Cheng is in the restaurant and the martial arts hall........

Before you know it, a month has passed.

In the tavern, Jiang Cheng's punches were strong and powerful, and his steps moved back and forth, very steady, like tree roots rooted in the ground.

Jiang Cheng finished a set of brute energy, and his eyes swept over the system attribute panel.

[Exercises]: Ethereal Sword Technique (10/1000), Wild Bull (1/1000)

After a month of hard work, Jiang Cheng incorporated all the two exercises into the product, and his body shape also changed slightly.

From the previous well-proportioned and slender, the muscles slowly expand and bulge, and even when you are wearing clothes, you can see the streamlining of the muscles inside.

The combat effectiveness has directly increased by 10,000 points.

Jiang Cheng had been cultivating in the restaurant for the past few days, because he was progressing too fast, and he was worried about attracting the attention of others.

Only when the martial arts hall called a meeting of all the disciples would he go over.

Zhang Wuji, Ma Fei, and Liang Feifei, who came with Jiang Cheng, often gritted their teeth and took a medicinal bath in order to break through the first product within half a year.

According to the three of them, after cultivating, taking a medicinal bath can indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

Liang Feifei can already sense qi and blood from time to time, as long as he goes further, he can directly enter the product.

This also changed the already delicate relationship between several people, Zhang Wuji and the others were originally quite respectful to Jiang Cheng, but as time went by, they had re-recognized Liang Feifei as their eldest brother.

Jiang Cheng naturally didn't care about these trivial matters, his main purpose here was to obtain exercises.

"It's been a month now, there shouldn't be any problem," Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin and said secretly in his heart: "Breaking through to the first grade in a month, although it is faster, it is not unusual." ”

After making up his mind, Jiang Cheng walked towards the martial arts hall, and when he passed by the medical hall on the side, he stopped.

This medical hall is called "Qiankun Medical Center", and there is a big signboard at the door, which reads "Qi and Blood Great Tonic Soup", a few big characters.

Jiang Cheng became interested and walked into the Qiankun Medical Hall.

A strong smell of Chinese medicine came to the nostrils, all kinds of medicinal materials in the medical hall were neatly stacked, and behind the counter sat an old man with white hair and beard.

The old man held a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other.

He was wearing a cyan robe, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his appearance was clear and ruddy.

Seeing someone coming in, he asked softly, "But there are patients?" ”

"I see the signboard hanging at your door, what is this Qi and Blood Tonic Soup?"

"Oh? Are you a martial artist? ”

The old man immediately had his spirits, stood up and looked at Jiang Cheng.

"You martial artists are all cultivating qi and blood, transforming qi and blood into strength, but the vitality of the human body is limited after all, such excessive urging of qi and blood will hurt the fundamentals, and in serious cases, it will even lose its life!"

"Folded Shou?"

"Yes, my Qi and Blood Tonic Soup is specially used for martial arts cultivation, not only to replenish Qi and blood, but also to prolong life, do you want to take a dose?"

"Sounds good, I don't know how much you cost this medicine?"

The old man touched his goatee, his face was not red and he raised five fingers without panting, "Five taels of silver for a dose, my old Cui opened a shop, and he has always been a child." ”

"Elder Cui, you're too dark, and a medicinal bath in the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion next to you is only one or two silver."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback by this price, although his silver had no value to him, but he only had a few hundred taels on him now, and he would be gone after spending it.

"No, no," Cui Lao shook his head and said, "How can the medicine of the Taibai Martial Arts Pavilion be compared to the old man's, even if the old man's qi and blood tonic soup is diluted ten times, the medicinal effect is stronger than their medicinal bath!" ”

Then he changed his voice, "Of course, this price is a little expensive, but we have cheap ones, just a little side effect." ”

Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously, "What side effects?" ”

"Qi and blood tonic soup is made with all kinds of precious tonics, focusing on tonics, and the other prescription I said was obtained by accident, focusing on using poison to stimulate one's own qi and blood."

"This medicine is very cheap, but it will poison people, mild people will get sick and have diarrhea, and heavy ones will be poisoned and will fall to the ground and die on the spot!"

The apprentice of the medical hall on the side trembled when he heard this, but Jiang Cheng's face remained unchanged, and he said firmly: "That's it, I believe that with my perseverance, I can completely bear it!" ”

"You kid, you're really not afraid of death, this kind of recipe is usually used by outlaws, who dares to risk their lives? Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will accumulate residual poison in your body, and when your strength declines in old age, you will backfire on yourself, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

Cui Lao thought that Jiang Cheng didn't understand the key, and hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, old man, I'm willing to gamble."

Jiang Cheng sincerely thanked.

Although he said so, Jiang Cheng's heart blossomed, "There is also this kind of good recipe, poisoning?" The last thing I'm afraid of is poison! ”

Jiang Cheng had obtained the Five Poisons ability in the Aragami Jungle, and he had long been insulated from the world's ten thousand poisons, not to mention this small herb.

"Alas, stubborn, that's it, leave it to your own devices......"

Cui Lao shook his head and sighed, and sat back on the bench.

"Old man, I don't know how much this cheap medicine costs?"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly asked, if this prescription is useful to him, it can save a lot of time, in case the effect is very good, wouldn't it save the cost of buying Qi and Blood Pills?

"You young man, reach over and I'll take your pulse."

Cui Lao stroked his white beard and put his fingers on Jiang Cheng's wrist.

After a while, Cui Lao opened his eyes, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Your kid's qi and blood are terrifyingly thick, I'm afraid that he is better than the second-grade martial artists, and with a physique like you, he should be able to carry ten doses of medicine."

"My Five Poisons Soul Snatcher Soup only costs ten big coins for one dose, don't you think you've made a lot of money? A dose of Qi and Blood Tonic Soup, which has the same medicinal effect as it, costs ten taels of silver. ”

Cui Lao smiled, obviously very confident in the competitiveness of his prescription.

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, like those rich children who practice martial arts, how often do they usually take this tonic?"

Jiang Cheng asked a question he had always wanted to know.

"There is actually no time limit for this kind of tonic, it mainly depends on the individual's family background, even if you take the tonic as a meal, there is no problem, the human body can't absorb so much, and the excess medicinal power will naturally be excreted from the body."

Cui Lao replied slowly: "Just like Tang Yuanshan of the Tang family, it is said that this person is extremely diligent in martial arts, from morning to night, he has to drink three doses a day, and he has to cooperate with the medicinal bath at night, tsk......."

"Is it like this?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, sure enough, no matter where it is, money is the primary productive force.

"Old man, give me ten doses, I'll go back and drink slowly."

"Okay."

Cui Lao slowly got up and walked to the back prescription to dispense.

Here, the prescription is very precious, it is the foundation of a medical hall, in order to prevent leakage, the old man grabs the medicine by himself.

After a while, Cui Lao walked out with a bundle of medicine bags wrapped with white thread.

Jiang Cheng threw down a tael of silver, turned around and left with the medicine.

Walking all the way into the small courtyard dedicated to new students, Jiang Cheng really found Senior Brother Zuo Wenbin here, at this time he was teaching Zhang Wuji and Ma Fei to practice brute strength.

It's just that Liang Feifei is the only one missing.

"Jiang Cheng, I haven't seen you for a few days, you can't slack off in this martial arts practice."

Zuo Wenbin saw Jiang Cheng come in, and said with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Senior brother, you misunderstood, I'm here to formally apprentice."

Jiang Cheng cut straight to the point.

"Formal apprenticeship? Do you ....... Already in the product? ”

Zuo Wenbin was a little surprised, and Zhang Wuji, who was practicing martial arts on the side, also stopped moving, with unconcealed jealousy on their faces.

"Yes, I got into the product yesterday."

"Congratulations! Congratulations, Senior Brother Jiang! ”

Zuo Wenbin smiled and clenched his fists and said hello, and no longer called Jiangcheng by name, but directly and cordially called his junior brother.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Master and his old man."

After speaking, he pulled Jiang Cheng and walked out.

At this moment, Zhang Wuji, who was on the side, saw the medicine bag in Jiang Cheng's hand, and hurriedly asked, "Jiang Cheng, you have made such rapid progress, it can't be any medicine, right?" ”

"The medicine you are carrying in your hand is a little familiar, it is the Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup from the Qiankun Medical Hall next door!"

The more Zhang Wuji spoke, the more excited he became, he was also curious a few days ago, so he went to the Qiankun Medical Center to inquire about the prices of various tonics, among which was this Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup, the packaging was exactly the same as the one in Jiang Cheng's hand!

Thinking that Jiang Cheng has not come to the martial arts hall these days, Zhang Wuji can be sure that Jiang Cheng must have secretly drunk this poisonous soup in the restaurant, forcibly stimulating the power of qi and blood in his body.

Otherwise, everyone is an ordinary person, why can you step into the grade so quickly?

"What?"

"Five Poisons Soul Snatcher Soup?"

Zuo Wenbin was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng, "Senior Brother Jiang, is what Zhang Wuji said true?" ”

Jiang Cheng scratched his head, a little speechless, this inorganic doesn't know what's wrong recently, it's getting more and more jumping, it's really untidy.

Full of can't hide it, Jiang Cheng simply admitted, "Yes, what I have in my hand is indeed the Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup." ”

"You...... Did you know this thing is poison? Life is gone, what's the use of being strong? ”

Zuo Wenbin sighed with hatred.

It can be seen that he really feels sorry for Jiang Cheng.

Now the situation is turbulent, the Ming Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and the war will soon burn to Taibai City, and the martial arts hall is exactly when it needs manpower.

Zuo Wenbin originally thought that Jiang Cheng could help the martial arts hall survive the troubled times when he stepped into the ranks, but it was a pity that he ...... Even if the current Jiang Cheng can survive, his strength will slowly decline under the corrosion of toxicity.

It can be said that Jiang Cheng's martial arts career has ended here.

This made Zuo Wenbin's enthusiasm that had just been ignited extinguished in an instant, but the rules are the rules, no matter what means are used, as long as you can step into the grade, you can officially apprentice and obtain the second-grade cultivation exercises.

Zhang Wuji on the side almost laughed, he was still a little jealous of Jiang Cheng, but now he only felt very happy in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of Jiang Cheng's five poisons attacking his heart.

When I first came there, I was beaten up by Jiang Cheng, and it was impossible to say that I didn't hold a grudge in my heart.

"Jiang Cheng, did you say that there is no antidote to this Five Poisons Soul Snatching Soup, and you can exchange the second half of your life for a temporary scenery?"

Zhang Wuji sneered: "I thought you were a character, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted and waste your talent in vain." ”

Jiang Cheng carried the medicine bag in his hand and slowly approached Zhang Wuji, "You have practiced brute strength, and you think you have resisted the beating?" ”

"You...... What do you want? Big brother is still here! ”

Zhang Wuji was a little panicked, and moved his body back a little.

"You don't understand the rules of the martial arts hall? I'm in the product, even if I beat a temporary disciple like you to death, there will be no punishment, what's wrong with the medicine, you can use it if you don't take it. ”

Jiang Cheng sneered, raised his leg and kicked at Zhang Wuji.

Boom!

Zhang Wuji couldn't dodge at all, and was kicked by Jiang Cheng and hit the water tank on the side.

"Oops, my waist!"

Zhang Wuji howled like a pig, just now his waist and the water tank had a close contact, and now he can't even stand up.

This time, they have to lie in bed for at least ten days and a half months, and bed rest is not tight, but they only have half a year, and if they fail to enter the product within half a year, they will be expelled from the martial arts hall.

Even if this back injury is healed, it will affect the movements during martial arts training.

Zhang Wuji lay on the ground, leaving tears of remorse.

And the senior brother on the side didn't speak the whole time, nor did he stop him.

Jiang Cheng is a martial artist no matter what, and looking at his complexion, he doesn't look poisoned at all.

Maybe this person has a special constitution and can live for another three or five years after taking poison.

Zuo Wenbin shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Master." ”

"Okay, big brother."

Jiang Cheng hummed a little song in his mouth, followed Zuo Wenbin slowly, and left a sentence before leaving.

"I have to say, this medicine is really good, the amount is large, and the key is that the price is cheap."

The speaker said this unintentionally, but the listener intentionally, Zhang Wuji, who fell to the ground, pinched his nails into his flesh, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.

........

Following Zuo Wenbin's steps, the two came all the way to the main hall of the martial arts hall.

"Senior Brother Jiang came here this time, Master happened to be in the hall for the past two days, you wait a minute, I'll go in and tell him about the old man."

Zuo Wenbin said hello to Jiang Cheng and walked in by himself.

After a few minutes, Zuo Wenbin walked out, "Come in, Master, his old man is inside." ”

Jiang Cheng followed Zuo Wenbin and walked into the hall, and the first thing that caught his eye was a huge picture scroll hanging on the wall.

It is painted with a middle-aged man holding a long knife, with a sassy demeanor, but in his thirties, standing on the top of the mountain, although the whole is composed of black, white and gray, but it can also be seen that the person in the painting is heroic and elegant.

The corner of the painting is inscribed with three big characters of "Xi Jingshan", which should be the portrait of the owner of the Taibai Martial Arts Museum.
