Before Jie Jia left, Chen Mu called him with a smile and presented him with a fist-sized white porcelain vase.
"There are good things inside. You can use them. I'll give them to you."
Jie Jia didn't know why, so he took the bottle and opened it. The well-informed Jie Jia's face turned dark at that time.
Looking at Chen Mu smiling with squinted eyes again, I felt even more angry.
At that moment, Jie Jia put away the things with an expressionless expression, and glanced at Chen Mu with his bright yellow eyes.
"Really give it to me?"
Chen Mu nodded immediately: "Send it off!"
Jie Jia asked calmly: "Do you know what it is?"
Chen Mu chuckled and shook his head. It means I don't know anything.
"It's called Jinyang Pills." Jie Jia said with a slight smile in his eyes, "The Red Ship secret medicine is in the Goulan brothel, twenty-two pills."
"And there is a price but no market."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Mu with a smile on his face.
Twenty taels per pill, a bottle of six pills is one hundred and twenty taels!
There is still a price but no market, maybe it can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels if it is resold!
Just give away one hundred and fifty taels? Chen Mu twitched with distress and looked at Jie Jia eagerly.
"Give it to me, you said so." Jie Jia smiled and walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Chen Mu: "..."
…
Shanglinfang, Chenzhai.
Chen Mu sat in front of the stone table in the pavilion.
There is a book on the table, Blue-Eyed Golden Ape Practicing Shape Technique. The training technique bought at a high price from Jie Jia.
Not long after I got it, I started to have many twists and turns. I was giving gifts to people and moving, and I never calmed down to practice.
Now that the Jinghong Gang has offered him a reward, Chen Mu doesn't dare to go out and has a lot of time to figure out new training techniques.
Walking out of the pavilion, Chen Mu bent down, raised his left hand to grasp, and reached down to twist his wrist with his right hand, as if fishing for the moon.
Stand with your feet in front and back, your heels slightly raised, your toes gripping the ground, and your forefoot exerting force.
Keeping his posture still, Chen Mu adjusted his breathing. One hundred and eighty breathing rhythm cycles have been memorized long ago. Adjust your breathing immediately and feel the changes in your body's center of gravity.
Kestrel training requires constant running and moving.
The Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's training techniques are mostly static movements.
There are a total of eighteen postures and one hundred and eighty breathing rhythms in the muscle-changing stage.
Chen Mu needs to complete eighteen posture changes and maintain stability in these one hundred and eighty rhythms. And each posture has its corresponding breathing rhythm.
Only by echoing back and forth and forming a cycle can an efficient practice be completed. If you are not careful, the rhythm will be out of order.
After trying for half an hour, a sudden realization came to my mind.
It was as if a certain rhythm had been found, and the previously stumbling coordination suddenly became smoother.
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall in front of him. Sure enough, a new entry appeared at the bottom.
Writing: 1785/10000/second level;
Picture: 1652/10000/second order;
Throw: 413/10000/Level 4;
Kestrel Training Technique: Extreme;
Cooking skills: 4376/10000/second level;
Pharmacy: 6576/10000/Level 3;
Hidden Blade: 4981/10000/Level 3;
Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell: 5752/10000/Level 3;
Blue-eyed golden ape training technique: 5/10000/level one;
“Keep up the good work and keep up the pace.”
As a result, the last inhalation time was slightly shorter and the cycle was not completed. Proficiency only increases a little.
"Another big project." Chen Mu shrugged.
I don’t know when I will be able to achieve great success.
"No wonder so many people in the world are flocking to medicines like Dragon Transformation Pill."
On the one hand, there is endless spiritual nourishment, and on the other hand, there is improvement visible to the naked eye.
Chen Mu guessed that even if the Jianghu people knew about the family's malicious intent and the hidden dangers of the elixir, they would still be unable to resist taking it.
After all, as long as you practice the form to perfection, you will be able to dominate the world and enjoy endless wealth and beauty. If you are lucky enough to become a wandering soul, you will become a big boss with countless power and wealth. Who wouldn't envy you?
"Foresight and brilliance are often possessed by only a few, and eagerness for quick success and quick gain is the norm in the world."
"Luckily I have the proficiency in gray walls."
If it weren't for this plug-in, I wouldn't be able to do that.
Maybe Chen Mu will also take the Dragon Transformation Pill, and then he will be forced to fall into the family's trap, and he will work hard to cultivate the pill.
"Let's keep going."
…
The Chen family residence in Shanglinfang.
There was originally a small garden on the east side of the courtyard, growing some beautiful flowers that Chen Mu couldn't name.
Chen Mu found them pleasing to the eye, and he pulled them all out when he was happy.
Then the land was turned over and arranged, and various seasonal vegetables were planted.
Unfortunately, the time is too short. The vegetables have just sprouted and need to be bought outside.
The street on the west side of Shanglinfang continues north, passing by Chonglefang, you can reach Nanyang Fubei City.
Nanshi, Beishi, and Nanyang Prefecture are two major commercial markets. All bulk sales are conducted in Liangfang City.
There are also farmers along the street selling vegetables in the city, but they are not as comprehensive as those in the northern and southern cities.
Chen Mu walked all the way.
Although it is enjoyable to brush up on proficiency, it can also make people feel better if they occasionally go out to watch the bustling crowds and see different scenery.
When I first entered Beishi, the first thing I saw was Beishi Fan Tower.
There is a Fanlou in the northern and southern cities, both of which are famous gold-selling caves in Nanyang Prefecture. It is said that the bosses behind them are the five major families of Nanyang Prefecture.
Seven or eight five-story buildings, connected by cloisters and overpasses, cover a vast area, are bustling with activity, and always attract attention.
On the Chunfeng Tower, one of the fan towers, there are warblers and swallows, and their red sleeves are swaying.
Chen Mu took a look and seriously criticized their revealing attire.
No need to worry about catching cold!
Then I took another look, and then reluctantly went to buy groceries.
Passing by a teahouse called Xinyuan Tea House, Chen Mu felt moved and walked in.
He didn't go out all day, and the news was too limited. It is necessary to find a channel to collect information.
When he was in Qingshan County, he would regularly go to Bafanglou to drink tea. Chen Mu had the same idea when he saw Xinyuan Tea House.
Don't be in a hurry to buy groceries. Let's go and hear what news is coming from Nanyang Mansion first.
…
This teahouse is not small, with three floors. It is obviously not an ordinary small place.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, the noisy atmosphere made Chen Mu feel particularly friendly.
Storytellers, tea drinkers, and business talkers, a smell of fireworks that Chen Mu was familiar with made him feel relaxed.
He found a corner and sat down. A pot of tea, a plate of freshly roasted peanuts, and a sesame pastry cake cost him sixty-five copper coins. It’s enough to buy two kilograms of meat.
"The prices in Nanyang Mansion are really high." Chen Mu shook his head and stuffed a piece of sesame cake into his mouth.
The soft and sweet taste made Chen Mu's eyes light up, and he ate three pieces in a row before stopping. A small plate only cost eight yuan in total. I ate less than half of it before I was fully satisfied.
Thinking about the more than 10,000 taels of silver notes hidden in the five ghost bags, Chen Mu sighed. The landlord's family didn't have any food left.
“Man, pack two sesame cakes for me, I’ll take them away in a moment!”
"okay!"
…
"Speaking of which, the Jinghong Gang is the largest gang in our Nanyang Mansion. Anyone who sails up and down the Jinshui River must watch their eyes."
"But fortunately, the Jinghong Gang has strict rules and uses money to do things. It is also because of the Jinghong Gang's constant attacks on water thieves that they can ensure the smooth transportation of the Jinshui River."
"In the past, everyone had only heard of their names and not had much contact with them, because most of them made a living on the river."
"Now it's famous."
An old man with a goatee was sitting on the wooden platform in the center of the teahouse, talking happily about the hot news in Nanyang Mansion.
"Three days ago, the leader of the Jinghong Gang, Jin Wu Duanjin, challenged the leader of the Zhuyi Pavilion, Zhang Pavilion, and won a great victory! He became the second master of our Nanyang Mansion, only under the command of the Fucheng Army Shangguan. The limelight is unparalleled!"
"You may not be familiar with Zhu Yige. He is an underground force in Daliang, and he is engaged in shady business."
"I don't know who I accepted the reward from, but I dared to attack the Jinghong Gang's White Tiger Hall Master Lin Que. This pissed off the Jin Gang Leader..."
The old man spoke eloquently, and the people below listened with great interest.
Chen Mu slowly drank tea and ate peanuts, listening to the news with his ears raised.
Lin Que was killed, and the Jinghong Gang brought trouble to Zhu Yige. Gang leader Jin Wu broke the contract and fought against Zhang Qinghe of Zhu Yige, and even won...
The more Chen Mu listened, the weirder his face became, and he sighed hypocritically: "Zhu Yige is really burdened with too much!"
"too difficult."
"I hope Pavilion Master Zhang will recover soon." Chen Mu wished without sincerity.
"Except for the bounty, which is a bit troublesome, am I safe for the time being?" Chen Mu felt happy and stuffed all the sesame cakes into his mouth in one go.
One word, sweet!
…
"That day, there was no wind on the river, but there was a dark cloud in the sky. The two of them each took a small boat and jumped tens of meters across. It was like thunder coming from the sky and hitting the isolated island in the middle of the river with a roar!"
"Then the wind and clouds surged, sand and rocks flew, and the mountains and the ground cracked wherever they passed, like an earth dragon turning over. The entire Jiangxin Island was shattered by the aftermath of the fight between the two..."
Chen Mu's eyes twitched fiercely.
Why did he upgrade from martial arts to immortal warrior just by talking?
The mountains will collapse and the earth will crack, and the earth will be turned upside down...
Others in the tea house listened with great interest, but Chen Mu was extremely amused.
A whispered conversation caught Chen Mu's attention.
"I heard something happened to the Red Ship." A fat businessman whispered to his companion while cracking melon seeds.
"I've heard too, everyone who got on the boat is gone." The equally wealthy companion replied in a low voice: "The young master of the Lu family is greedy for sex. He has been to almost all the red boats on the Jinshui River. I don't know which one I boarded this time. The boat is gone."
"Hiss... Isn't it because someone is trying to kill someone for money?"
"No, someone saw their boat on the Changrui Pier outside the city. According to that person, the boat looked weird. It was probably a ghost ship!"
"The red boats pick up passengers up and down the Luohe River every day. Why did they go outside the city?"
"You will not live if you do your own evil."
"Indeed, the ghost ship cannot enter Nanyang Mansion."
Chen Mu frowned as he listened.
I have been in Nanyang Mansion for nearly five months, and I have never heard of any evil spirits causing trouble. He almost forgot about the ghost monster.
When I heard the news about the strange red ship, I immediately thought of the strange long-haired woman: "You can't escape these ghost monsters anywhere."
Fortunately, Nanyang Mansion has a magic weapon to protect him.
Chen Mu lost interest in continuing to listen and left Xinyuan Tea House with the packed sesame soft cake.
…
Shanglinfang, Chenzhai, under the pavilion on the west side.
Chen Mu put the gray wall in front of him and concentrated on practicing.
After practicing once, the proficiency level will increase by one to five points.
Bits and pieces of insights about the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape Lian flooded into his mind.
Chen Mu's eyes were dull and he practiced tirelessly over and over again.
Chen Mu didn't stop until he felt the slightest pain in his lungs.
In the next half month, he went out every five days to buy groceries, drink tea and listen to the news. The rest of the time was devoted to the blue-eyed golden ape practicing his form skills.
…
In the evening, in the study room on the second floor, Chen Mu opened the window and sat at the desk.
Picking up the warm milk tea and the imitation sesame soft cake, Chen Mu sat comfortably on the lounge chair, watching the boats on the Luo River in the distance to soothe her spirits.
Habitually bring up the gray wall calculation proficiency.
Blue-eyed golden ape training technique: 4140/10000/level one;
He put down all other skills and devoted all his energy to the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, finishing nearly half of it in just half a month.
"As expected!" Chen Mu couldn't help clenching his fists.
The Blue-Eyed Golden Ape is very difficult to practice, but it is faster to gain proficiency!
"The Kestrel Training Technique has significantly transformed the body. The Hidden Blades and Iron Lotus Seeds have also strengthened the body."
"If you are physically strong and have strong endurance, you can practice more times every day."
"The foundation of the strengthened body is thick, and it is easy to reach new heights. There are some parts that have not been practiced before, and only a little effort is spent on carving them."
"The difficulty of practice is reduced, the number of practice increases, and the proficiency level will naturally increase faster!"
The future is gradually becoming clearer, but Chen Mu cannot be happy.
"Compared to the children of aristocratic families, they are still far behind." Chen Mu shook his head in frustration.
"You are born with a strong bloodline, and you can make great strides with each passing day as you practice."
"The family has a strong background and has been taking the secret acceleration medicine since childhood."
"There are also complete training techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation."
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.
"These direct descendants of aristocratic families are simply God's darlings."
"They have blood, secret medicine, and inheritance."
"what do I have?"
"I only have a small amount of proficiency."
Chen Mu let out a long sigh.
"Fairness is always relative." Chen Mu had to comfort himself.
"But sweat can't lie!" Chen Mu tried another way to cheer himself up.
"The children of aristocratic families come from a privileged background, but I will never give up."
Chen Mu quickly put away the gray wall in front of him and secretly warned himself.
"These foreign objects will only disturb my mind."
Then solemnly establish your life creed.
"People can only rely on themselves!"
"I just have to rely on my firm will, unremitting efforts, and every drop of sweat to reach the top step by step!"
