Five months passed in a hurry.

Medicine collection hall, practice ground.

Ye Qin sat cross-legged on the straw mat, breathed into the dantian, closed his eyes and meditated, exhaled and gathered qi, silently running the exercises in the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra", and carried out the Great Zhou Tian cycle.

Ye Qin found that although the cover of this secret book was written "The Sutra of Cultivation", the text inside called this book "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra".

The book is divided into two parts, the pre-chapter, and only one layer of exercises.

The first fragment of the book, the exercises from the first to the third layer. The remaining middle and lower two articles are incomplete.

After five months, Ye Qin's cultivation pre-chapter, from the initial two or three months without any reaction, to now he can finally feel a faint warm air flow, flowing through the meridians in his body. That trace of air was faint, but it was tenacious.

Ye Qin secretly thought that this should be the legendary inner family's true qi, and it was really wonderful.

Ye Qin opened his eyes after running for a big week.

In the past five months, he has also gained a certain understanding of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra".

It is not accurate to say that practicing this exercise can endure hard work, skip meals, not drink water, and be exposed to cold and heat for three to five days.

This exercise requires not only eating, but also eating a lot.

Ye Qin's appetite increased greatly, and he consumed a large amount of food every day, which greatly increased his physical strength, his limbs were sharp, and his eyes gradually became sharper. After cultivating to a certain level and being full of energy, you can withstand it without eating or drinking water.

In the past five months, he has had enough food, so that his mental cultivation speed is very fast, his appetite is excellent, and his body board is not as weak as before, but has become strong. Carrying a hundred-pound sack and walking a few miles quickly will not feel tired.

It's just that every time he thinks of this strange internal skill he chose, he is a little annoyed.

Ye Qin looked at the other children on the practice ground with some envy.

He didn't know what martial arts were used for, so he learned what he wanted most at the time. Therefore, he asked for a mental method that can endure hard work, starvation, cold, and thirst. After waiting for three or five months, he knew that it was too late for martial arts.

On the martial arts training ground, there are sword lights, sword shadows, and extremely powerful tiger roars and palm strengths, or they fly lightly and jump more than a foot high. There are more than 40 medicine picking boys, most of whom are the kind of powerful martial arts they have learned, and they are extremely powerful when they fight.

Take Ye Qin's four junior brothers and sisters as an example.

Yang Yicheng learned a set of handheld foreign kung fu "Tiger Fist". At that time, Yang Yicheng didn't have any opinions on choosing the secret of practice, and begged the young guard to recommend a kung fu to him. The young guard surnamed saw that he had a lot of strength, and his body was taller than that of ordinary boys, which was suitable for the powerful kung fu of even foreign families, so he recommended this "Tiger Fist" to him. Yang Yicheng heard the young brother say that this secret was suitable for him, and he was overjoyed and accepted it.

After five months of practice, 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 Yang Yicheng ecstatic, and he found someone to practice boxing all day long.

Ye Qin's internal strength only strengthened his physique, and he didn't have the defensive power that ordinary internal strength had, so he didn't dare to take his fist at all.

Feng Xiao, with an agile figure, chose a book of light skills and secrets "Tiyun Zong". He was a little envious of those masters of the rivers and lakes in the county, and this time he had the opportunity to learn martial arts, and he chose a light skill. Although this kung fu can't beat people, others can't beat him. He was already able to touch the ground on his toes, jump close to his feet, and easily jump around the training field. Although Yang Yicheng's fist style is fierce, it can't touch his side. Every time he practiced, Feng Xiao went to tease Yang Yicheng, making Yang Yicheng angry like thunder.

Qian Ruoxiu chose the hand-held close-up small kung fu "Folding Plum Hand".

Sun Ying, who chose a sword book "Spirit Sword", is suitable for women to practice close swordsmanship.

No matter which of the four of them was, it was much more powerful than his cultivation of the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra". "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", except for being able to make Ye Qin physically strong, energetic, and physically sufficient, can do almost nothing. If Ye Qin used his fist to hammer the brick, his fist would definitely be red and swollen, and the brick would not move at all. Running is faster than ordinary people.

According to the rules of the Medicine King Gang, the medicine picking boys in the outer hall have a three-year child training period, during which they can only choose one exercise to learn, and they are not allowed to practice concurrently. It is even more strictly forbidden to exchange secrets with each other. Only the medicine boy in the inner hall is allowed to repair two doors.

Three years later, the herb picking boy was promoted to an apprentice medicine collector, and then he could go to the secret book room to pick up a secret book.

Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao and others, because of this, did not ridicule him less.

Thinking of this, Ye Qin couldn't help but feel a little regretful, the hope of becoming a master of the rivers and lakes could not be realized in the short term.

However, he was satisfied.

During these months, three skills were learned every morning: literacy and arithmetic, recognizing 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 collection hall requires the medicine picking boy to memorize at least 1,000 varieties of common medicinal materials, such as medicinal taste, function, indications, growth landform, and form of medicinal materials within five months. And those unknown medicinal materials can at least recognize their value. On average, you have to memorize six to ten herbs a day.

Those who could not identify the medicinal herbs were to be whipped - and the law enforcement disciples of the inner hall were to enforce the law.

This also made Ye Qin finally know what he was doing when he first saw the brocade-clothed young girls in the Medicine Picking Hall, those were all law enforcement disciples, they were masters of martial arts specially trained by the Inner Hall, and they all learned advanced internal martial arts and external kung fu, and their martial arts were far stronger than those of them who were full-time medicine pickers.

Ye Qin was not dissatisfied. Although the training in the herb collection hall is hard, it is at least much better than wandering and begging in the wild.

During this time, he also gradually became familiar with some things in the Medicine Picking Hall from the mouths of some senior brothers. The medicine collection hall is a subordinate hall of the medicine king gang of the Pingzhou Jianghu Gang, which is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall.

In the inner hall, Ma is in charge of the deputy hall master, who is responsible for medicine (pharmaceutical, including ordering medicine, tasting drug grades, drying medicine, cutting medicine, pharmaceutical, etc.), law enforcement (core disciples), guarding (guarding the hospital, transporting medicinal materials), façade shop (watching the store, buying and selling), and miscellaneous affairs (all the trivial chores of the medicine collection hall are in charge of General Manager Zhang).

The outer hall, the deputy hall master of Ji is in charge, and is responsible for collecting medicine (collecting medicine and identifying medicine).

The head office of the Yaowang Gang is located in Wan'an Mansion, the capital of Pingzhou, and its main business is medicinal materials. Drug collection and pharmaceutical are undoubtedly the most important, which are divided into two major systems: drug collection and pharmaceutical. The medicine collection hall in Zhuqi County focuses on medicine collection and takes into account pharmaceuticals.

The Medicine King Gang has a strict hierarchy and a strict promotion system.

Herb collection system: herb picker, herb picker, herb picker, herb picker, herb picker, herb collection master, herb collection master.

Pharmaceutical system: pharmaceutical child, pharmaceutical apprentice, pharmaceutical craftsman, pharmaceutical master, pharmaceutical master, pharmaceutical master.

Grandmaster-level figures are all in the main hall of the Medicine King Gang. In the branch halls of various counties, there are only masters and pharmacists, and the masters are basically at the level of hall masters and deputy hall masters. Deputy Hall Master Ma and Deputy Hall Master Ji are pharmaceutical masters and medicine masters respectively. Li Dashanren, the master of the main hall, is a famous master in the rivers and lakes of Zhuqi County, although he does not know how to collect medicine and make medicines, but he has a family relationship with the leader of the Medicine King Gang.

Ye Qin's master, Wang Hongcai, was a level after the master in the Medicine Harvesting Hall, and there were only dozens of people of this level in the Hall.

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 boys, and letting medicine pickers take medicine picking boys to collect medicine.

The medicine picker is not qualified to be a master and an apprentice, so he can only take the boy out to exercise, and go to the most dangerous places in the mountains to collect medicine all year round.

The medicine picker must follow the medicine picker into the mountains to collect medicine for three years, and is not allowed to enter the mountain alone, and can get very few rewards from the medicine picker for good performance. After three years, he completed the training, and the master performed the knife handing ceremony, and was promoted to the apprenticeship of medicine collection. Only apprentices 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 obtain 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.

The medicine collection hall will evaluate the grade of the medicine collector according to the results of its medicine collection.

Ye Qin occasionally heard from the people in the hall that the medicine pickers died a lot every year. Those who survive will become more and more precious and have a higher status, and they will also be sent to the most dangerous and complex places to collect the most precious medicinal materials.

This rumor caused a great deal of panic in the hearts of the medicine pickers.

However, the deputy hall master of the medicine collection hall promised the children that as long as the year of medicine collection is up, after being promoted to become a medicine picker, they can choose to continue to collect medicine, or they can choose to go to the big pharmacy in the county town to guard the store and make medicines, and from then on they will enjoy Qingfu and do not have to risk death to collect medicine. This calmed the hearts of the medicine pickers a little and gave them hope.

Therefore, Ye Qin's biggest thought now is to leave the school as soon as possible and accumulate achievements to become a medicine picker.

Now he had no idea how hard it would be to become a medicine picker.
