Lao Zhang in the village happened to be a blacksmith, good at forging farm tools, and occasionally forging swords.

Su Yu found Lao Zhang at the gate of the village, Lao Zhang's original name was Zhang Dazhuang, who was naked at this time, revealing copper-colored, thick muscles, beating on the red iron, sweating.

"Lao Zhang, I want to forge a knife or sword, I don't know how much." Su Yu asked, he estimated in his heart that he would need half a tael of silver.

Lao Zhang saw that it was Su Yu coming, and said in surprise: "Doctor Su?!" Do you want to forge swords? ”

In Lao Zhang's opinion, Su Yu is a weak doctor, and it is really surprising to come to him to forge a sword.

"Well, forge a sword to defend yourself, and I will go to Beiyuan City in a while."

"Since it's Doctor Su, I can give you a forging sword for free, I don't know what style you want." Lao Zhang put down the work in his hand and said respectfully.

Earlier, Su Yu saved the sick Lao Zhang and let Lao Zhang get out of the life and death crisis, so Lao Zhang has always been grateful to Su Yu in his heart, and when he saw his benefactor coming over and wanted to forge a sword, he just repaid Su Yu.

Su Yu was not polite, just because he wanted to save some money to buy quenching powder, he nodded slightly, and thought about it in his heart.

"A short knife for easy concealment, and the blade body is preferably black."

The short knife is not easy to be spotted, and you can be caught off guard when you shoot, as for the black knife body, at night, the black knife body is not obvious, and it is more hidden.

Lao Zhang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, I can only forge it in half a month, and send it to Changchun Pharmacy after forging." ”

"Then I'm bothering you."

After that, Su Yu returned home and continued to practice health boxing.

Time passed in a flash, and half a month passed quickly.

On this day, Su Yu opened his attribute panel.

Name: Su Yu

Lifespan: 53

Potential: 6

Martial Arts: Health Boxing (5% Small Success)

Skill: Pharmacy (1% small success)

The life expectancy has increased by two points, and the pharmacy has successfully broken through to the level of small success, but the progress of health boxing has slowed down, and after half a month, it has only improved by 4%, so it is estimated that it will take at least a year and a half to break through to a new level.

After making a breakthrough in pharmacy, when he went out to explore, Su Yu was able to distinguish the herbs alone, judge whether they were poisonous, etc., and he could also boil the decoction alone, although there was still a probability that the brewing would fail.

The effect on the improvement of overall strength is weak.

Too slow, still too slow.

You still have to boil and quench the body as soon as possible, so the progress is too slow.

I guess the sword should have been forged.

At this time, the door creaked open, and the master walked in, holding the wrapped knife in his hand, and said, "Lao Zhang just sent the forged knife to the Changchun Pharmacy, I saw that you have been looking forward to it, so I sent it to you immediately." ”

"How about opening it up?"

Su Yu took it, as if accepting a birthday gift, and couldn't wait to open it carefully.

The iron-black knife body glows with jet-black light, the knife body is sharp, the knife body is short, nearly five catties, the surface is densely covered with black lines, it looks simple and unpretentious, but it exudes a cold air, as if it can cut stones and break gold, and gently pick it up, there is a sense of lightness.

Holding a black knife, the blade breaks through the air, slashes sideways, slashes, slashes, and makes a slight sound of breaking the air.

"Yes, I like it." Su Yu smiled and said, "I'll call you the Black Iron Knife." ”

"Su Yu, I bought you a set of basic sword techniques, I don't understand this, I can't teach you, but you have a good talent, according to the above exercises, there shouldn't be too many problems."

The master sent a book called Basic Knife Technique to Su Yu, and said: "If you don't know any basic knife techniques, it is better to use a knife than to use health boxing, so learn the basic knife technique well and have more self-defense skills." ”

Su Yu took it and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master." ”

After that, the master returned to the pharmacy and looked at the pharmacy, while Su Yu opened the basic knife technique and looked at it.

This is all about explaining the most basic knife techniques.

There are eight methods of the knife, sweeping, chopping, dialing, cutting, and sweeping. Nai, chop, sudden.

Each knife technique has different movements, and Su Yu practiced the knife technique according to these movements.

In this way, Su Yu practiced the basic knife technique every morning, went up the mountain with the master to collect medicine during the day, visited the medicine shop, learned pharmaceutical knowledge, and practiced health boxing at night, and the time passed fully and quickly.

Soon, half a month passed.

The sky was slightly dark, and the cold wind was blowing, but Su Yu's body was hot.

Accompanied by regular exhalation and exhalation, Su Yu practiced health boxing over and over again, and even visible white heat came out of his body.

A light punch burst into the air, making a slight roar.

The power of this punch doesn't seem to be very big, but Su Yu once experimented, this punch is enough to knock down a big tree, if it falls on an ordinary person, ordinary people can't even carry a punch!

"Whew." Su Yu exhaled slightly and put away his movements.

took out the black iron knife again, practiced the basic knife technique, horizontal slashing, side sweeping, and rushing, one by one, the movements were smooth, and it was no longer the unfamiliar action at the beginning.

Suddenly, Su Yu's heart felt something, his eyes lit up, and he felt that his surroundings suddenly stopped.

The black iron knife in his hand seemed to merge with himself, and the whole person burst out with a terrifying momentum.

The sword qi like a thin black line slashed at the stone three meters away, leaving a shallow knife mark.

You must know that this is a stone three meters away, and if this sword falls on the body of a martial artist in the Forging Body Realm, it will definitely be able to split it in half!

Putting away the black iron knife, Su Yu opened the attribute panel.

Name: Su Yu

Lifespan: 55

Potential: 7

Martial arts: health boxing (20% small success), basic knife technique (10% small success)

Skill: Pharmacy (10% small success)

Perhaps because of the cultivation of new martial arts, even the cultivation speed with health boxing is much faster, and the basic sword technique is even more rapid, and in just half a month, it has broken through to the level of small success.

In just half a month, the potential value increased a little, and Su Yu could clearly feel that his cultivation speed was much faster.

I looked at my slightly bulging muscles and felt the heat flow in my body.

In the past half a month of cultivation, although Su Yu has not been able to break through to a new level, he can clearly feel his strength, his speed has increased, and his endurance has improved significantly.

Su Yu has tested that he can now insist on running at a high speed for ten minutes, spanning more than ten kilometers.

In one hour, it is enough to run more than 50 kilometers, which is simply an inhuman speed!

"My strength is almost up, it's time to go to Beiyuan City." Su Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he planned to go to Beiyuan City tomorrow to buy medicinal materials for refining and quenching his body.

A month ago, Su Yu was worried about his strength, and it would be difficult for the bandits to protect themselves when they encountered a rogue, but now, with enough strength, Su Yu naturally did not want to delay any longer, and wanted to go to Beiyuan City as soon as possible.

The next day, Su Yu packed up his things, hid the black iron knife in his waist, it was easy to take it, put on the fox mask he had purchased before, said goodbye to his master, and went to Beiyuan City alone.

Wearing a fox mask is to hide your identity, and in this chaotic world, you may encounter people who are difficult to offend when you have to make a move.

At this time, wearing a mask can easily hide your identity, and it will not be so easy to be discovered and found by the enemy, which will affect your master, the people of Stone Village.

Su Yu hurried while eating dry cakes, and along the way, from time to time, he could see hungry children staring out under the door, and he could see the ruined crops, chaotic footprints, and dried bloodstains.

Sure enough, it was a chaotic world, Su Yu sighed in his heart, and strengthened his idea of becoming stronger.

In this chaotic world, only one's own strength is the foundation of survival, otherwise, you will die in this tragic and chaotic world.

Su Yu's goal is immortal martial arts, how can he die in this little troubled world?

After firming up the thoughts in his heart, Su Yu put away the food and quickened his pace.

In order to avoid attracting people's attention, Su Yu took a small road, and deliberately slowed down, and did not encounter rogues or anything along the way, and arrived at Beiyuan City in one hour.

The black walls stood there like giants through the ages, tall and mighty, and the tall gates were patrolled by soldiers in black armor, interrogating those who entered the city.

Su Yu once understood that this kind of interrogation is mainly to see if you have brought prohibited items.

Such as gunpowder, poisons, special metal minerals, etc.

If discovered, they will be killed in place, and there is no room for negotiation!

Su Yu checked himself, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he came to the gate of the city.

After some inspection by the soldiers, Su Yu entered the Beiyuan City safely.

As soon as you enter, you can smell the aroma of all kinds of food, hear all kinds of shouts, and see tall buildings interspersed with red-tiled bungalows.

"It is worthy of Beiyuan City, far from being comparable to a small village, and I will definitely be able to buy the medicinal materials I want here." Su Yu muttered to himself silently and took a few steps.

But he suddenly got into trouble, it was the first time he came to Beiyuan City, and he didn't know where the nearby pharmacy was.

In desperation, Su Yu casually found someone to ask.

"Hello, I want to ask where there are medicinal herbs sold here?"

"Medicinal herbs? You are a foreigner, you don't even know this, go east, you can see the Yanyu Pavilion, which is the largest alchemy place in Beiyuan City, where there is a place that specializes in selling medicinal materials. ”

Smoke and Rain Pavilion?

Su Yu remembered this name, and once heard the master mention it once, it was the largest alchemy place in the Great Zhou Dynasty, selling medicinal materials, pills, etc., and there were branches in many cities.

Along the east direction, Su Yu soon saw the Yanyu Pavilion, and as soon as he walked in, a clerk greeted him with a smile.

"What do guests want? There are pills, herbs, and herbs. ”

In the eyes of the clerk, although Su Yu is poorly dressed, he has an extraordinary momentum, and if he wants to come to the house, he will definitely have a surprise.

"Here, can you see if there are any of these herbs?" Su Yu sent a note that had been written a long time ago to the clerk.

The clerk took one look and looked a little disappointed.

"Yes, please come with me."

The clerk took Su Yu to a place specializing in the sale of medicinal herbs, and an old man with gray hair was sitting quietly, and he smelled the smell of medicine from a distance.

The quality of the medicinal materials here is better, and it is worthy of the Yanyu Pavilion.

Su Yu sighed in his heart and looked at the gray-haired old man.

For some reason, this seemingly ordinary old man gives people a sense of danger.

The gray-haired old man took the note from the clerk and looked at it, his eyes seemed to change slightly.

"Half a tael of silver in total, and you want a few copies." The gray-haired old man's voice was a little hoarse.

Half a tael of silver? Su Yu was a little shocked, this price was more low than he expected, and he originally thought that he would need one or two silver.

It can't be a trick on me, right?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, a place as big as Yanyu Pavilion would not trap him, and there would be no benefit.

Since there are benefits to be earned, Su Yu didn't bother, nodded and said, "I want seven shares!" ”

The gray-haired old man patiently grabbed the medicine, and soon, he grabbed seven medicines.

Su Yu put the broken silver on the table, put away the medicinal herbs and left the Yanyu Pavilion.

With these seven medicinal materials, you can refine seven parts of quenching body powder, and counting the probability of failure, you can finally get six parts of quenching body powder!

With the help of Quenching Body Powder, you may be able to enter the next level in a month - Inner Strength.

Su Yu walked up eagerly, and after leaving the city, he changed from walking to running, wanting to refine the quenching body powder immediately and try the effect.

However, when it was almost dusk, when he was about to arrive at Stone Village, he saw a group of strangely dressed people who looked like bandits blocking the entrance of the village, surrounding many people in the village, including the master and Lao Zhang.

Su Yu's heart was pounding, nervous, and anxious.

What do they want to do? Slaughter Village?! Should I go back?

After all, Su Yu could not go against his heart, and decided to go back to Stone Village to see the situation.

The master who has cultivated himself for many years is still here, and the people in the village are still here, and many people have seen Su Yu and helped Su Yu.

When the villagers who are like relatives are in danger, if Su Yu can still escape with a cold heart, he will despise himself and will not be able to pass this level in his heart.

If the situation is not for me, I can run away immediately, and the master has not made a move, so the situation should not be so serious.

"Stop, what are you doing?" A bandit on a horse found Su Yu and scolded.

"I'm from this village and want to go back to the village."

"It just so happens that we are going to collect protection money, you go in and pay the fee later." The bandit said coldly.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he didn't do it directly.

He came to the master and asked, "Who are they, and why did they suddenly set their eyes on Stone Village?" ”

The master shook his head and sighed: "I heard that it is called the Black Water Gang, and it is a bandit who came from other places and occupied the nearby Qingling Mountain. ”

"Village chief, everyone is here, don't delay, hurry up and pay the protection fee, otherwise you know the consequences."

The village chief of Stone Village sighed and handed over a silver ticket worth one thousand taels.

When Su Yu saw the amount of the silver ticket, he was surprised and said, "They want to charge a protection fee of one thousand taels?!" ”

You must know that there are only 300 people in the whole village, and there are only 100 adults who can work, and one person is equivalent to receiving ten taels of silver, which is three months' living expenses for an ordinary family.

Su Yu thought that the protection fee would be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high, it was too much!
