Su Chen and Ah Chou finished eating the snake soup blood ginseng tonic diet in the Chenghuang Temple, and practiced martial arts again.

The two made an appointment to meet again in Gusu County in the future, so they said goodbye and left. Ah Chou thought about his dung truck worth a few copper plates, and hurried back to the county seat.

Su Chen returned to Yaowang Villa and passed by a martial arts arena in the villa.

This martial arts arena covers an area of dozens of acres and can accommodate thousands of people.

Every evening, the martial arts arena of Yaowang Villa will be very lively. There are always hundreds of newcomers and teenagers, as well as young brothers and sisters, who are either watching the battle or competing in the game.

The disciples of the Jianghu gang practice martial arts, of course, in order to one day be able to "fight the sword and the rivers and lakes and become famous in the world".

However, the new disciples in the Medicine King Gang are not allowed to participate in the disputes and fights on the rivers and lakes at will until they have reached the third-rate realm.

Most of the newcomer disciples can only "learn" from their fellow disciples in the martial arts arena in the villa, and have an addiction to fighting in the rivers and lakes.

At this time, it was evening, and a group of newcomer disciples from the inner and outer doors were gathered, and it seemed that several inner disciples were sparring, and all the outer disciples were shouting and cheering.

Su Chen was busy cultivating earlier, or doing miscellaneous labor, and rarely came to the martial arts arena to watch and learn.

This time, he had a discussion with Ah Chou in the City God Temple, but unfortunately Ah Chou still did not enter the realm, and his martial arts were messy and lacked a foundation, which made Su Chen feel unsatisfied.

He couldn't help but move in his heart, and walked towards the gathered crowd, wanting to see the strength of the other rookie disciples of the Medicine King Gang and see his true depth.

Of course, Su Chen just went to take a look, and he didn't have the idea of going to the game by himself.

He is a disciple of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall.

The Miscellaneous Servant Sect disciple had no status in the Medicine King Gang at all, and if that Miscellaneous Servant disciple was looking for someone to compete in the martial arts arena, it would definitely attract a burst of laughter from the other Miscellaneous Disciples, telling them to leave quickly and not occupy a place.

At the very least, it is necessary to be a disciple of the Sword Protection Hall, a third-rate martial artist realm cultivator, and have cultivated a low-level and intermediate-level martial art, so that he can dare to show his face in this martial arts arena and "learn" from other fellow disciples.

Of course, if it was the inner disciples of the Alchemy Hall and the Sword Holding Hall, the atmosphere would definitely be hot and lively, enough to attract hundreds of disciples to watch and cheer.

"Okay! Senior Brother Li's trick of 'Meteor Picking the Moon' is really clever!"

"Senior Brother Wang is amazing, and the 'Iron Sand Palm' blocked it in one fell swoop. ”

The outer disciples who were watching the battle around erupted in cheers and cheers from time to time.

Su Chen watched for a while, but he was a little disappointed.

He found that these two so-called inner disciple masters were unfamiliar and slow, full of loopholes, and their level was really average, and there was not much to look at.

Su Chen was puzzled, not understanding how those outer disciples could shout hello.

But if you think about it carefully, it is likely to be related to the fact that your eyesight has become extremely high, and your comprehension of martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds.

He is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past, and most of the low-level martial arts are flawed in his eyes.

And those real second-rate experts and first-class masters of the Medicine King Gang have all gone to the rivers and lakes, and they will not appear in the martial arts arena of the villa at all.

Su Chen looked at it for a while and then lost interest, turned around and left.

...

Returning to the Miscellaneous Servant Hall, Su Chen returned to a calm and monotonous life. Every day, I only work in the miscellaneous hall to earn some wages.

The miscellaneous disciples of the Miscellaneous Service Hall are not controlled by the master, and they are more comfortable on weekdays.

As a low-level deacon, Su Chen can choose his own miscellaneous work, arrange his own time to cultivate, and only need to complete a certain amount of miscellaneous tasks every month.

He specializes in handy jobs that can be done in a very short time.

For example, patrolling the mountains, guarding the warehouse, transporting a batch of cheap herbs to the county pharmacies, sending letters to neighboring counties, and so on.

Patrolling the mountains and guarding the watch, he earns the least copper coins, and can only earn about ten copper coins at a time. Fortunately, he only kept watch for two hours at night, and he could save a lot of time for cultivation during the day.

Going to neighboring counties to deliver goods and letters can earn thirty or fifty copper plates at a time, and it usually takes up to a day or two to make a round trip.

However, he can practice entry-level footwork on the road, which means that he has been practicing martial arts and has not really wasted time.

This kind of chores is also Su Chen's favorite.

Su Chen went on a mission to other counties, passing through barren mountains and mountains, and with his extraordinary perception, he could often find wild herbs hidden in the deep ditches and grasses on the side of the road.

Dig it down and keep it for his own body quenching, saving him from using turbid water to cultivate herbs.

After accumulating in such a month, Su Chen can earn about seven or eight hundred copper coins.

It's not too much, but it's enough for him.

Most of the time, Su Chen immersed himself in the cultivation of the lower dantian and the introductory martial arts, cultivating for at least four hours a day.

Such a high-intensity cultivation is extremely depleting to the body, and a large amount of nourishment and herbal quenching are necessary.

About every four or five days, Su Chen would look inside his own blood, muscles and bones, specially equipped with a pair of low-grade quenching herbs, catch wild snakes, hares and the like in the wild, boil medicinal soup and take it internally, stimulate his own qi and blood, and make up for bone wear and tear, so as to ensure that his body will not be lost due to high-intensity cultivation.

Because it is specially prescribed for the right medicine, Su Chen's herbal medicine has an excellent effect on quenching the body, and the cultivation will naturally progress rapidly.

In this way, Su Chen was in the miscellaneous service hall, ignoring the things outside the window, and cultivating martial arts with one mind, while studying the medicinal properties of various herbs.

He occasionally goes to the eastern suburbs of the county every month, and goes to the temple of the city god.

Ah Chou often practices martial arts in the Chenghuang Temple, and the two eat snake soup together, learn martial arts, and increase their actual combat experience.

The progress of Ah Chou's cultivation was also quite fast, and in just a few months, he broke through the third-rate realm.

With Su Chen, a "third-rate top master", accompanied by the competition, Ah Chou's martial arts skills have soared, and he can even hold up one or two moves in Su Chen's hands without losing.

That's a very good strength.

One day, Ah Chou excitedly told Su Chen about something.

Wang Shao, the son of the shopkeeper, brought three or five outer disciples to him to "learn" and took the opportunity to bully him.

Ah Chou has been bullied for more than a year, and after breaking through the third-rate realm, he doesn't want to endure it anymore.

He fought with Wang Shao's shopkeeper and a group of outsiders on the spot, and as a result, he knocked the arrogant Wang Shao's shopkeeper down with three or two punches.

That Wang Shao's shopkeeper is a trick who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and his strength is not as good as him, he was punched in the face and nose, and he begged for mercy in embarrassment.

Several other outer disciples besieged together, but they were still not Ah Chou's opponents, and they were beaten by Ah Chou and fled in a panic.

This incident made Ah Chou raise his eyebrows greatly, and in the future, he would no longer have to suffer from the anger of these outer disciples in the Heavenly Eagle Gate.

When Su Chen heard this, he was naturally very happy for Ah Chou.

He prescribed a quenching prescription for Ah Chou and helped Ah Chou quickly break through the third-rate realm, hoping that Ah Chou would no longer be bullied by his fellow disciples of the Aquila Gate.

...

Time flies.

Summer disappears and autumn solstice, winter goes to spring, and more than a year has passed since Su Chen was in the miscellaneous service hall.

Counting up, it has been two years since I joined the Medicine King Gang.

Su Chen grew from a twelve-year-old thin boy from a fisherman to a fourteen-year-old disciple of the Medicine King Gang, growing a lot taller and stronger.

In this short period of more than a year, he practiced diligently, cultivating from the early stage of the lower dantian to the late stage of cultivation in one go, and he was already strong in qi and blood, which can be regarded as a small consummation.

Further up, there is the middle dantian, the realm of true qi.

Among the outer disciples who joined the Medicine King Gang in the same year, Su Chen was already unmatched.

Even the inner disciples of the same year, there were very few who had reached his cultivation level, only three or five people such as Wang Fugui and Wei Han.

In addition to the great improvement in the martial arts realm, his medicinal skills have also made great progress.

The rookie disciples of the Medicine King Gang, whether they were inner disciples or even the young medicine craftsmen of the Medicine Refining Hall, were still only stuck in rote memorization of various herbs and medicinal effects, and lacked an in-depth understanding of the medicinal properties.

Su Chen had already been constantly testing the medicine himself, preparing the quenching prescription, and experiencing the efficacy of various prescriptions.

With the extraordinary "inner vision", Su Chen's different medicinal effects on each herb, before and after the medication, can be seen at a glance to stimulate qi and blood, relax the meridians and activate the meridians, dissolve blood stasis, bone wear, healing and other effects on the body.

Su Chen's level of medicinal skills naturally increased significantly day by day.

In just one year, Su Chen's understanding of the medicinal properties of most herbs was comparable to those pharmacists with twenty or thirty years of experience in the Alchemy Hall, and even surpassed them.

Su Chen was very satisfied with the improvement of his martial arts realm and medicinal realm.

There is only one regret, that is, his martial arts are still entry-level.

He can earn seven or eight hundred copper coins in the miscellaneous hall every month, and eight taels of silver in a year, which is a lot.

But as a handyman, he had to pay for the food in the dining room, and he had to spend a hundred copper coins a month.

Moreover, Su Chen asked the butcher to help him every month, and went to Zhouzhuang's hometown to bring some broken silver to his father, and four or five taels of silver were used here.

Su Chen used the medicinal herbs he cultivated with turbid water, as well as some quenching herbs picked back from the wild, and used them in medicinal soup and medicinal baths, with an obvious smell of medicinal fragrance on his body.

In order to keep others from doubting the origin of his medicinal bath, he also had to go to the Alchemy Hall to buy a few of the cheapest and lowest medicinal herbs to use.

If anyone is suspicious of his cultivation progress and the smell of medicinal fragrance on his body, they can also find his record of purchasing quenching herbs in the Medicine Refining Hall to clear their suspicions.

And even if it is to buy the lowest age and the lowest grade of medicinal materials, such herbs still cost two or three hundred copper coins, and buying them once a month is a lot of money.

He earned a year's money in the Miscellaneous Servant Hall, spending seventy-seven eighty-eight, and only less than one or two pieces of silver remained.

The martial arts secrets of the Yaowang Mountain Villa Library Pavilion, it costs one or two silver to buy a low-level martial arts book.

As for the intermediate martial arts, it is even more expensive, often more than ten taels. High-level martial arts even cost hundreds of taels of silver, which is staggering.

Although Su Chen was able to cultivate some high-grade herbs with turbid spiritual water, he didn't dare to sell them in the pharmacy outside, but he secretly used up the quenching body in private, and naturally he couldn't exchange it for silver.

Su Chen originally thought that he would work in the Miscellaneous Service Hall for a few more months and buy another low-level martial arts book.

But his cultivation has improved too quickly, and now that his dantian has been completed, he is about to step into the second-rate realm, and he can refine the true qi of the inner family.

This thought couldn't help but fade, and he simply gave up the idea of buying a low-level martial arts book.

Su Chen thought that he was now full of blood in the lower dantian, and in another month, he might be able to enter the great realm of the middle dantian.

He might as well save up some more silver, and simply buy an intermediate-level martial arts book for cultivating the true qi of the inner family to learn, and he didn't have to waste thousands of copper coins on low-level martial arts books.

Su Chen has been trying to comprehend the true qi of the inner family these days, and the middle dantian has faintly produced signs of true qi.

In general, Su Chen has been very satisfied with his harvest since he entered the Miscellaneous Service Hall for more than a year.

In addition to martial arts and medicinal arts, Su Chen's experience in the rivers and lakes has also increased a lot.

Su Chen frequently performed miscellaneous duties in the thirteen counties of Wu County, and became more and more familiar and experienced with the rivers and lakes of Wu County.

is no longer the gang newcomer boy who is ignorant and ignorant of the rivers and lakes.
