The sun is past noon.

He came to the Nancheng District General Division again.

This is the first time I came here after more than half a year, the last time I came was for Zhang Hai's matter, that time I came can be said to be cautious, bowing my head and not wanting to attract the slightest attention, trying to reduce my sense of existence and quietly went to the prison in the back.

This time I came but it was different, I was summoned by Xu Hongyu, the chief mission, even if I wanted to reduce my sense of existence, it was impossible to report on the front duty first, and then go to the central main building of the general department, and be led all the way to the highest fourth floor.

Leading him up was a messenger who worked in the general department, cast a lot of curious glances at him, and greeted him with a smile on his face on the way, asking this and that, showing an intention to get acquainted.

The poor people who can work in the general department generally have some relationships, or some skills, and there are still differences between them and the low-level poor people in the divisions, and they have more knowledge and vision.

A person like Chen Mu who can be summoned by Xu Hongyu, the chief messenger, is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is naturally willing to get acquainted.

"Okay, I'll send it here, go up to the hall of the chief mission, Brother Chen go up by himself, when you have time, Brother Chen will come to me, I will definitely invite Brother Chen to taste the most famous Fenglou drunken duck in our southern city."

The messenger who led Chen Mu upstairs led Chen Mu to the third floor, and then stopped and smiled and gave his hand.

Chen Mu arched his hand at the other party, and then went upstairs.

Four floors.

This is the highest floor of the main building of the General Department of Urban Health, and it can also overlook the most prosperous street market in Nancheng District.

The whole floor is very large, but it is quiet, Chen Mu walked all the way, and only met a woman in light clothes, who was led to the innermost hall by the other party.

"Come in."

Xu Hongyu's voice was not in the front hall, but from the side hall on the side.

The messenger who led him motioned for him to come in.

The side hall is not as spacious as the main hall, but it is very elegant, with a few wisteria wood tables, on which are placed some papers, or a pot or two of flowers and plants.

Xu Hongyu did not wear the white flying fish suit, but a slightly loose casual dress, sitting behind a few cases near the window, half leaning on the edge of the bed, one hand clenched into a fist to support her chin, overlooking the city view outside the window.

"Lady Commander."

Chen Mu walked to a distance of about two meters and stopped, and saluted.

Xu Hongyu slowly turned her head, glanced at Chen Mu up and down, and then said: "Your father Chen Feng is an old messenger in the Nine Articles, and he arranged you into the City Guard Division because of Liu Ming's relationship, you didn't know how to use swords at that time, and you didn't have any relationship with anyone over the years, and you have never learned knives from anyone, so it should be the knife score you got by accident, and you have practiced it by yourself for three or four years?" ”

With one sentence, Xu Hongyu understood Chen Mu's resume.

Chen Mu was not very surprised, after all, with Xu Hongyu's identity, it was too simple to investigate all his information, and it was estimated that it would only take a morning.

Let him come over in the afternoon, most likely this morning, he will first order someone to collect his resume information.

There is basically no problem with this resume, maybe even his daily inspection affairs have been checked clearly, but the only thing that is not clear is...... In fact, he has only practiced knife training for more than nine months, not three or four years.

Of course, Chen Mu would not distinguish this kind of thing, Xu Hongyu thought that it was more reasonable for him to practice for three or four years.

"Yes."

Chen Mu gave his hand again, showing some awe at the right time.

Xu Hongyu looked at him a few times again, stood up suddenly, walked in front of Chen Mu, suddenly stretched out his hand, his little crystal like jade hand bent, and used two fingers of his index finger and middle finger to poke three times in Chen Mu's ribs, chest, abdomen, and waist and back.

These three strokes were as fast as lightning, Chen Mu only saw a vague afterimage, and he already felt the numbness pain coming from three places, and then his body softened slightly, and he stumbled and almost stood unsteadily.

"Hmm...... It seems so. ”

Xu Hongyu withdrew her hand, returned to the back of a few cases, looked at Chen Mu with a calm expression, pushed a stack of things on the table forward, and motioned for Chen Mu to take it.

Chen Mu was poked three times by Xu Hongyu, and his body was still a little numb and sour at this time, although she guessed that she might have probed his physical condition in some way, but she couldn't help but secretly slander herself in her heart.

With a little difficulty, he took a few steps forward, picked up the things on the table and looked at them.

But I saw that it was a few pieces of paper.

The first of them, on which is a note with Xu Hongyu's handwriting, wrote the words 'three hundred taels of silver'.

The second one below is a row of dense small characters, and there are several relatively large conspicuous words on the top - gold and jade dermabrasion method.

"My lord, this ......"

Chen Mu showed surprise at the right time and looked at Xu Hongyu.

But in his heart, he was already as clear as a mirror, it seemed that at his age, he had learned to practice sword skills by himself, and the talent he showed was probably higher than he expected, so that Xu Hongyu, the chief officer, was willing to show him favors and buy people's hearts.

"Although Tang Quan was killed by you, but I was on the side at that time, and I could be regarded as being caught alive, three hundred taels of silver is his wanted reward, as for this gold and jade dermabrasion method...... You've probably heard of the internal quenching method? ”

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu calmly.

Chen Mu nodded and said: "If you go back to your lordship, I have heard the saying that one skin, two flesh, three muscles and four bones have always had ideas, but the price is a little expensive, and I have no chance to touch it." ”

Xu Hongyu nodded lightly and said, "First grind the skin, then train the meat, then change the tendons, and then forge the bones...... This is the most stable step in the practice of quenching the body, generally speaking, you can complete the grinding of the skin, it is not a problem to deal with four or five villains with your bare hands, and you can grind the kung fu of practicing the flesh again, and a dozen villains cannot get close. ”

"You can learn to practice the knife posture by yourself, it can be seen that the understanding is good, although the root bones are average, and the contact with this quenching method is a little late, but there is still a good chance to grind the realm of meat training to perfection, and it can be regarded as a certain level at that time."

"Oh, by the way, Tang Quan, who was killed by you, is a martial artist who has perfected his flesh, he was seriously injured by me at that time, but the remaining strength is still extraordinary, you should be very understanding."

Not only is there an experience, Chen Mu still remembers it vividly.

In terms of skills, Tang Quan is not much different from him, he should be at the level of practicing 'potential', but the gap in physique is too big, if Tang is not seriously injured all over his body, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to support two or three moves in the opponent's hands.

"If Tang Quan hadn't been injured, I would be far from an opponent."

Chen Mu shook his head and said.

Xu Hongyu nodded lightly and said: "That's right, you have the skills of 'potential', but you don't have physical support, you are like duckweed without roots, and you can deal with some characters who are not in the stream, but when you encounter the quenching method to a certain level, it will be difficult to deal with, even if the opponent's skills have not reached the level of 'potential', you can also overwhelm people with force." ”

"With your current level, it is probably the same as the characters who have completed the dermabrasion and have not mastered the 'potential', but if you can also achieve the perfection of the dermabrasion, then for the characters of the same level who have not mastered the 'potential', you can easily crush them, and even be able to deal with some characters who have practiced meat and have achieved small successes, but their skills have stopped before the 'potential'."

Chen Mu has never had a very clear understanding of his strength level, but now that he heard Xu Hongyu's words, he finally had a general understanding.

The knife method is a technique, and the quenching method is a force.

Only the combination of strength and skill is the right way and the road to heaven.

Relatively speaking, to cultivate the 'potential', it all depends on understanding, but the law of quenching relies more on the stacking of resources, and therefore the characters who have mastered the potential are considered a type of talent, if they are young enough, it is even more incredible.

As Xu Hongyu said, even if they are masters of meat training, or even some of the characters who have completed meat training, there are many people who stop at the success of their skills and have never practiced 'potential', so they can only be regarded as second-rate at best.

And Chen Mu is like this, he has mastered the power at a young age, as long as he trains his body to the perfection of meat training, that person can deal with ten ordinary meat training perfection existences that rely on resources stacked up and the skill realm is not enough.

This is the real elite.

In the outer city, he can serve as a messenger in a land of one mile, and rule over two or three hundred messengers.

In the inner city, among several major forces, you can also be a middle-level elite and a courtyard warrior who commands some people.

"The most difficult potential, you have already practiced it, this quenching method only needs to be practiced hard every day, it can be accumulated layer by layer, although my 'golden jade dermabrasion method' is not the top type of efficiency, but the damage to the body is very small, even if you are old in the future, you don't have to worry about the accumulation of dark injuries, if you put it outside, it is also worth a thousand gold."

"Now I'm giving you this dermabrasion, you...... Understandable? ”

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu quietly.

Chen Mu naturally knew what he should say, and immediately said: "The little one is a bad person, and he acts according to the orders of the above. ”

Yucheng's forces are intricate, even if it is the city guard, it is not Xu Hongyu who covers the sky with one hand, there are also inner cities and even some other forces reaching out, or buying, or inserting, Xu Hongyu feels that he is a talent worth cultivating, so what he wants is naturally his clear attitude.

"Good."

Xu Hongyu nodded slightly, very satisfied with Chen Mu's attitude, and said: "You go back, I have notified Min Chasi and asked him to take care of you, and when you have succeeded in practicing this dermabrasion method, I will transfer you to the general department." ”

Chen Mu saluted again: "Thank you for your attention, and follow your instructions." ”

Xu Hongyu stopped speaking and waved her hand at him.

Chen Mu put the pages into his arms with a respectful expression, and then walked out of the side hall.

After Chen Mu left, Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu's back, and a little pity flashed in her eyes.

"Self-study for three or four years can practice knife posture, it is indeed a talent, but unfortunately the background is too poor, I was not able to contact the body quenching method earlier, it is not difficult to practice to practice meat, but if you want to reach the 'easy tendon', the hope is a little slim."

The children of wealthy families often practice skills since childhood, and when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, the most suitable age, they begin to practice the quenching method simultaneously, and after 'three years of skin grinding, five years of meat training', and before the age of twenty-five they practice meat to perfection, then they have great hope of entering the third realm of 'easy tendon'.

If it is said that the perfection of meat training and the perfection of skills are the middle-level elite, then when it comes to the level of easy tendons, it is the real upper level.

Like her, the chief officer, is based on this.

She doesn't sit in the position of the chief secretary by virtue of her background, strength is one of the fundamentals.

But......

Chen Mu came into contact with the quenching method a little too late.

She had just tried Chen Mu's root bones, she had never practiced the body quenching method before, and he was now more than twenty-two years old, even if he practiced diligently, it would be difficult for him to enter the consummation of flesh cultivation before the age of thirty.

Because the best age to practice the body quenching method is to start at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and between the age of twenty-five, this is the period when young people's blood and qi are the most vigorous, and it can be said that they can get twice the result with half the effort, and they will be basically fixed in the future.

After the age of 30, it basically begins to reverse, becoming half the effort, and it is difficult to make further progress.

With Chen Mu's talent, if she was born in a wealthy family, her current achievements may not be much lower than her, even if she is not in the realm of easy tendons, she will inevitably reach the perfection of meat training, and now she has only started to practice hard, but it is already more than a step slower.

She can only feel sorry for this.

After all, Chen Mu is a rare talent in the outer city, and he has a chance to be on par with her.
