Chapter 11
The practice ground is full of sword light, sword shadows, and extremely powerful tiger roars and palm strength, or it is a light body that flies and jumps more than a foot high. There are more than forty apprentices collecting herbs, most of whom have learned the kind of powerful martial arts, and they are extremely powerful when they fight.
Among them, a figure holding a sword constantly uses the long sword in his hand, stabbing, splitting, pointing, teasing, picking, collapsing, intercepting, chopping, wiping, cutting, clouding, hanging, racking, and pressing a move to move the sword style to dance smoothly.
Suddenly, the sword move changed, and between the flickering of the sword light, a desolate and murderous aura floated out, and the sword move at this time also became more fierce and full of killing intent.
This sudden aura startled the other apprentices, and they hurriedly opened the distance from him.
After a sword technique was cast, the man exhaled a breath of turbid air and retracted the long sword in his hand.
The other apprentices in the training ground couldn't help but sigh and envy when they saw the swordsmanship displayed by this person. Many of them have learned the martial arts secrets in their own hands, but they have not yet fully learned them. And his sword technique has obviously been extremely proficient.
This figure is Mo Yu. After two months, Mo Yu was finally able to fully learn and unfold the autumn chapter of the Four Seasons Sword Technique.
This is also thanks to Mo Yu's previous third-level bone refining cultivation, so naturally he doesn't need to borrow the cheats in his hand first to break through to the first layer of bone refining like others.
And after more than two months of cultivation, Mo Yu also broke through to the realm of the fourth layer of bone refining. In this regard, Mo Yu did not take the initiative to mention it to others.
This Four Seasons Sword Technique is indeed exquisite, just learn the only remaining autumn chapter, you can have such power. There were also several powerful sword moves, but Mo Yu didn't show them here.
After all, it's not good to let other people see all the details of themselves.
And Mo Yu also learned during this time that Tie Shi also chose a good light skill. Now he has also cultivated to the realm of the second layer of bone refining. Mo Yu is still very satisfied with Tieshi's choice of light work. After all, the two are not ready to stay in this horse gang for a long time, and the two choose two completely different martial arts cheats, so that they can learn from each other in the future.
As for Mo Yu's other three junior brothers here, they also broke through to the realm of bone refining through their own martial arts secrets.
Yuan Ying chose a "thunder" knife technique, and Yan Ying chose a handheld close-up small kung fu "Folding Plum Hand" suitable for women to practice.
In the end, Li Fugui didn't know if he was punched by Mo Yu before, and he was angry in his heart, so he chose an "iron sand fist". After learning a little, although it is far from the point of tearing the wolf and splitting the tiger, a punch in the green brick can also break the green brick into several pieces. This made Li Fugui ecstatic, and when he found an opportunity, he couldn't wait to beat Mo Yu.
The result can be imagined, after being beaten again by Mo Yu, Li Fugui is completely honest, and he gets up as his little junior brother every day.
For two months, the four of them learned three skills every morning: literacy and arithmetic, identifying herbs, and emergency treatment. In the afternoon, there are exercises: basic exercises such as standing piles, horse steps, and strengthening the body, as well as an external or internal exercise.
The Medicine Harvesting Hall requires apprentices to memorize at least 500 varieties of common medicinal materials, such as medicinal taste, function, indications, growth landform, and form of medicinal materials within two months.
And those unknown medicinal materials can at least recognize their value. On average, you have to memorize six to ten herbs a day.
During this period, Mo Yu also learned that the apprentice of medicine collection would be able to participate in the test in the gang three months after joining the gang. Only the apprentices who have passed the test can collect medicines alone, and they are allowed to collect medicines alone or in groups with other apprentices who collect medicines on the mountain, and hand over the collected medicinal materials to the herb collectors, and get a certain income according to the amount of medicines collected.
Seven or eight years later, those with good grades were promoted to herb pickers, and the treatment of herb pickers was relatively high, and they could be directly shared with the medicine pickers, with a high income.
In the end, if the medicine picker learns the skill of pharmaceutical alchemy, he can become a pharmacist like Li Cheng.
At the level of pharmacists, they rarely go out to collect medicines in person, but are responsible for teaching their disciples, cultivating batches of qualified medicine picking apprentices, and letting medicine pickers take medicine picking boys to collect medicines.
Occasionally, a few people also heard from the people in the hall that many people died every year. Those who survive will become more and more precious, and their status will gradually increase, and they will also be sent to the most dangerous and complex places to collect the most precious medicinal materials.
When Li Fugui heard this, he always shrank back in fear. only made Mo Yu cry and laugh, and said to himself that he punched him at the beginning and then caused him to choose a boxing method, which seemed to hurt him.
Otherwise, with his worried character, I'm afraid that he will choose a light skill suitable for escaping.
...
...
Mo Yu was resting on a piece of grass not far away, recovering his strength, silently thinking about this last month of wilderness survival training.
After this month's training period, they will officially follow the herb picker into the mountain to collect medicine, and officially go through the medicine collection test.
On the first day of wilderness survival training, Master gave them a dismount and let them run around the outskirts of Huiyang County for 30 laps, and their skeletons almost shattered.
Fortunately, after three months of cultivation, several of them had reached the strength of the first level of bone refining, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand such strong training.
After thirty laps, except for Mo Yu, the other three all lay down, thanks to their fourth-layer bone refining strength, otherwise they would have been tossed enough by this training.
For the next three to five days. The task is getting heavier by the day.
From running in the barren mountains and mountains. Go swimming and paddling in the lower river valley. To climb the old mountain and drill the dense forest. Bruised all over his body. Just a few scrapes. Touch some hemostatic herbs to go up. There's nothing in the way.
The next three to five days. They were called to poke hornet's nest and big ant's nest. Go down to the mud ditch to catch leeches. Catch scorpions, centipedes. Mosquito repellent in the wild. Catch mountain rats and eat poisonous snakes. It's all red envelopes. It's very itchy. Dig traps. Kill the beast. I played with the insects, ants, and beasts for a while before I stopped.
At the end of the last month of field training, the five of them were almost tanned, and their survival ability to climb mountains and wade in the wild was greatly improved, and they were initially trained to become four apprentices who were qualified to follow the medicine pickers into the mountains.
Next.
The thirty or forty children of the medicine collection hall officially entered the exercise period. They were divided into ten groups, and under the leadership of ten medicine pickers, they left the county town and went to the deep mountains and old forests within thousands of miles in all directions to look for herbs.
Mo Yu and the five of them were followed by a young medicine picker named Gong Dun.
This Gong Dun, now about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, with a slender figure, did not speak much, but was very cold. He looks like an ordinary herb picker, but if you look closely at his slender and thin hands as sharp as eagle claws, he can show more than ten years of eagle claw skills. put on the rivers and lakes, it is definitely a powerful character.
Several people each carried a heavy large herbal basket, which contained ropes, hooks, oil, salt and spices, iron pots, drinking bags, various cloth bags, leather bags, etc., one foot deep and one foot shallow, silently following Gong Dun within five steps.
After understanding the exercises they cultivated, they made a division of labor for the four of them.
Five people just formed a combination of medicine collection with a clear division of labor. With Gongdun medicine pickers as the center, they are scattered from front to back, left and right. Ye Qin followed closely behind him, the closest and safest.
Yuan has a knife skill, and the foreign kung fu is powerful, responsible for opening the way head-on, and killing and expelling fierce beasts when encountered. Mo Yu carried his sword, on the left, and gave Yuan Cheng support. Li Fugui, on the right. In the end, Yan Ying followed.
Several people maintained this formation, all the way to the southwest to the depths of the mountains. After entering the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away, the degree slowed down even more.
Stop and go over the valley cliffs to see if there are any herbs worth picking all at once. Occasionally, I pulled out a grass on the edge of a cliff or a river valley, and picked roots and leaves.
After walking down these hundreds of miles, I have inadvertently collected many roots, stems, lumps, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits and other medicinal materials, and filled dozens of small sacks and leather bags.
Along the way, Mo Yu couldn't help but secretly admire the keen vision of this senior brother Gong Dun. The herbs that the four of them didn't notice, this senior brother saw at a glance from afar.
A month later.
Medicine collection hall, small courtyard stone house.
"It's not as dangerous as we imagined! We went into the mountains once a month, and we did almost nothing, so we easily got a reward of more than 200 copper coins. The training period of this medicine picking apprentice passed quickly, and he was able to accumulate a lot of copper coins. When we become apprentices in medicine picking, we will definitely earn more, although it is all small money for me!"
Li Fugui proudly threw a small money bag with naan and said happily in front of Mo Yu.
Mo Yu didn't care about these things, he just wanted to quickly pass the exercise period, so that he could collect medicine and cultivate in the future, as well as meet with Tieshi.
....
....
....
After the exercise period, except for a few unlucky eggs who died, all the surviving apprentices of the herb collection hall were evaluated by the deputy hall master of the herb collection hall and under the auspices of the herb collectors, they killed chickens and sacrificed to the gods, carried out the knife exchange ceremony, and were officially promoted to the herb picking apprentices of the medicine collection hall.
Mo Yu took a symbolic medicine picking knife from Master Li's hand and carefully stored it close to him. With this knife, it also means that he has become a teacher and is qualified to go out to collect medicine independently or in a group.
Subsequently, Deputy Hall Master Ji announced the rules that medicine picking apprentices must abide by: after becoming medicine picking apprentices, the medicinal materials collected must be handed over to the medicine collection hall, and then the appraiser will evaluate the value of the medicinal materials, and will be rewarded according to five percent of the price of the herbs.
