Chapter 100 Sweet pastry

The marten is back.

"Hey, there's a precious grass!"

Chen Ku first looked at the precious grass that the marten brought back, and stood up in surprise:
"You've only been out for a day, and you've brought back such a precious herb. How did you do it..."

This speech.

You can see that the fur of the spotted mink becomes more shiny.

At the same time, the marten raised the bloody claws on its paws towards Chen Ku, and stretched them out to a length of one foot!
Chen Ku immediately understood: "It seems that you also had a big meal."

He called back the marten.

After reading about the experience of the Flower Marten, I saw that in my memory, the Flower Marten was fighting with a group of wild wolves that were about to become monsters next to a cave in the mountains of Yuan State.

Even though the wild wolves had mutated to the point of becoming evil, the martens still killed and ate them one by one with their claws and bites, and swallowed them all.

Finally, this precious herb was dug out from the cave.

and many more……

Chen Ku looked at this precious grass.

Nine leaves and seven fruits, the fruits come in seven colors, and each fruit is the size of a pearl...

Chen Ku was digging in his head for the records of the precious herbs in the Medicine King Hall. Since he was not in the Baicao Courtyard, he did not know much about the precious herbs. However, he finally found the vague memory about this precious herb in his mind.

"Looking at it, it seems a bit like the 'Seven Color Pearls' among the high-quality treasure herbs. Each fruit is equivalent to a natural elixir, but it's better to try it with bait rats..."

Chen Ku walked out of the yard and took out a bait mouse from his own small house. He dug something out from one of the seven-colored pearl fruits with his fingernails and gently handed it to the bait mouse.

The bait rat jumped around in the cage at first, but when Chen Ku handed the fruit crumbs on his fingernail to it, the little guy immediately sniffed the air wildly, his eyes widened, and finally his eyes were fixed on the fruit crumbs on Chen Ku's fingernail.

bass!
The bait rat exerted force with its hind legs and jumped up with its little body. It hugged Chen Ku's hand and began to suck on his fingers.

Hula~
Chen Ku saw that a bit of fruit crumbs entered the transparent belly of the bait mouse, and immediately turned into an extremely considerable airflow, which spread into the little guy's internal organs and limbs.

Then, the little guy slipped from Chen Ku's hand with a "click", and lay in the cage with his limbs facing the sky, motionless.

"Hmm? Poisonous?"

Chen Ku was shocked.

But before he could look at the seven-colored fruit in horror.

Hula~~
The bait mouse snorted loudly from its nostrils, and blew out two streams of white air. It turned over on the spot, stood up on all fours, and began to run back and forth in the cage at such a speed that it left an afterimage.

"Hmm? It doesn't seem to be poisonous... In this case, it seems more like I've taken too much tonic?"

Chen Ku felt slightly relieved when he saw the appearance of the bait mouse.

Since the bait mouse was fine after eating it, I have the physique of a marten that inherited the characteristics of the bait mouse, so even if it is poisonous, it cannot harm me.

Immediately, he looked at a red fruit among the seven-colored fruits, picked it gently, raised his head and put it into his stomach.

Gudong.

As if he had swallowed a tonic pill, Chen Ku could clearly feel that the fruit directly transformed into an extremely surging ball of essence and medicinal power in his stomach, which exploded and impacted his internal organs and limbs.

"What a powerful medicine!"

Chen Ku was shocked that this one fruit was actually equivalent to the total essence of two or three precious herbs he usually took.

Suddenly, he felt the power of the medicine blending into his blood. The blood rushed to his face and was about to break through the fragile blood vessels in his nasal cavity, causing a nosebleed.

"not good."

How can it cause nosebleed?

Chen Ku immediately sat cross-legged, put on the Ling'e transformation, strengthened his mental strength, and used the method of transporting internal energy in the Eternal Spring Classic.

Hua la la la~~
He seemed to be able to feel that the blood in his body made a sound like a rushing river under the fusion of the medicine, and the blood was very turbulent, and the more turbulent it was, the easier it was to move.

In the blood vessels inside the body that are invisible to no one, wisps of internal energy grow out from the blood.

An hour later.

Chen Ku finally digested 70% of the medicinal power of the fruit.

He suddenly opened his eyelids.

The gleam in his eyes flashed like lightning, which was a sign of the overflow of vital energy.

"One fruit is equivalent to seven times the strength I accumulate from taking ordinary precious herbs..."

Chen Ku looked at the remaining six fruits with surprise:

"I feel that if I take one fruit like this every day, after seven days, I may be able to reach the late stage of internal energy, the 'Qi Zhuang' level."

The marten next to it was also looking at the seven-colored pearls in amazement.

Chen Ku carefully transplanted the colorful pearl into the potted plant, and then looked at the flower marten:

"It seems that it was right to let you challenge the monsters. It's common sense among herbalists: the more valuable the herbs and precious herbs are, the more likely they are to be guarded by wild beasts, exotic animals, and monsters."

Say it.

"Unfortunately, the transformation diagram seems to exist only in my own mind, so it can only generate evil spirits against my original malicious intentions. Otherwise... I would put you in the mountains and forests to kill people everywhere. I only need to stay at home every day, and the evil spirits will enter my account."

Looking at the flower marten, a strange thought came to my mind:

"I wonder if there will be such changes and abilities as more diagrams are completed."

Just thinking.

So he let the Flower Marten return to his body to recover his strength first. After all, he had crossed the border between the two countries and experienced a great war. Next, he would send the Flower Marten to Huozui Mountain in Ximu Prefecture, which was farther away in Yuan Kingdom. That place was not as close as the Two Worlds Mountain, but after crossing the Two Worlds Mountain, it was as far away as the Qiulong Prefecture.

After Chen Ku and the Flower Marten had both grown stronger, he had previously experimented and found that the Flower Marten could stay outside for up to seven days...

Now we have to restore it to its peak condition, so that we can go to Ximu Mansion in Yuan Kingdom and hunt the volcanic crow on Huozui Mountain over there.

Take advantage of the time when the marten is recuperating inside the body.

Chen Ku went to Master Yang to practice martial arts as usual, but he only saw his senior brother Yang Shaoqi, but not his master.

"It seems that several masters from the prefecture city have come to the county town, and the master has been invited to attend the banquet." Yang Shaoqi said, and his mouth was full of greed: "Hongyan Tower, Junior Brother, when you have something good to do, please treat me to a meal."

"Master and the people from the city are having dinner at Hongyan Tower?" Chen Ku's heart moved, and he thought of what Sui Qingfang said: "It's not even the New Year yet, and someone is coming?"

On second thought, the person who can eat with the master should not be a young person.

"So, shall we still practice today?" Chen Ku looked at his senior brother. He was actually quite eager to try, because he had not formally practiced with his senior brother since he broke through to the middle stage of internal energy.

After all, Senior Brother Yang, who practices the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Stick and has a good physique, must be much more powerful than that monster who seems to be at the peak of internal energy.

Chen Ku really wanted to know. He could use his unique skills and his strong bones to kill someone at the peak of internal energy, but could he defeat his senior brother who was only at the late stage of internal energy?

"No no no no!"

Yang Shaoqi saw Chen Ku's face full of fighting spirit and quickly shook his head and said:
"No! No! Even if I can handle all your strength, it won't be easy. Besides, what's the point of us brothers fighting?"

After saying that, his eyes turned slightly:
"How about I take you to the guard academy to spar with the masters? There are people who practice all kinds of weapons there, which can help you gain more experience."

"Guardian."

Chen Ku's heart moved, but he was still thinking about the "bow method" which was also a unique skill of the Guard Academy. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he might as well give it a try.

……

In Hongyan Tower.

Many guests looked curiously at the square table by the window.

Yang Lu Zen.

The most capable old man in the county, with great strength, and in the entire county, there are few people who can be higher than him in seniority.

At this time, he actually picked up the spoon and took the initiative to serve a bowl of soup to the person sitting opposite him.

"Try it. This is the most distinctive snake soup in Baojiao County. Only the chef Li Fugui from Hongyan Restaurant can control the cooking time of this snake soup so delicately. It has no fishy or smelly taste, but is sweet and fresh."

Everyone looked at it in wonder.

Master Yang Luchan had such a bad temper in Baojiao County that basically there was no one he looked up to, let alone serving soup to someone personally.

The man was dressed in black, with chains around his hands, and behind the chains he was holding a prisoner in shackles.

"Xiao Zuo, be honest with me. It's almost New Year's Day. Why did you come to Baojiao County just to escort a soldier who was exiled to the border?" Yang Luchan handed over the snake soup.

"If it was just an ordinary thief, of course I wouldn't need to escort him. He is not an ordinary thief..."

The head of the Fifth Territory of Qiulong Prefecture, Zuo Zongquan, picked up the snake soup with one hand, took a sip, and his eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious. After drinking it, he smiled and looked behind him, pointing and saying:
"But it's not just because of him. It's also because that Golden Hammer Grandmaster Qin will be here soon to protect Master Tan Chongrui. By then, your small Baojiao County will become a martial arts convention. The waters are muddy, so of course I have to come and test my skills to see if I can find an opportunity to break through the sixth realm."

Yang Luchan pondered.

This Zuodutou, known as the "Heavenly Killer", has a violent and bloodthirsty personality. His two iron whips are both weighing 10,000 jin. He is a ruthless man who can scare the local masters wherever he goes. When he was still a young man, he once passed through Baojiao County and was chased by more than 50 masters for 800 miles. Not only did he not fall into despair, but he also killed more than 30 masters of the same level with various means along the way. At that time, Yang Luchan admired him very much and thought he was a heroic and ruthless man.

So he secretly helped him, and they became friends. Now, more than 30 years have passed, and it turned out that the other party had not buried his talent. He had already entered the fifth realm several years ago, and was even the deputy commander of the infantry in Qiulong Mansion. He had a thousand people under his command, and all of his subordinates were powerful soldiers who had practiced martial arts and each of them had the strength of a thousand pounds.

In terms of strength, power, and age, Zuo Zongquan today is no longer the young man he used to be, but a great master who has already achieved great success in life.

Even Yang Luchan was not sure he could take the opponent's two iron whips before he entered the fifth realm.

"Grandmaster of the Golden Hammer?" Yang Luchan was also yearning for him. He had heard of Qin Yuxian, the president of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association, when he was young, but had never had the chance to meet him.

“Oh, right. I heard that you accepted a new disciple this year? He has just reached the inner energy realm, but he has the strength of the four elephants…” Zuo Zongquan asked casually while drinking snake soup.

Yang Luchan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "What do you want to do?"

Zuo Zongquan sighed and said, "You also know that my Overlord Whip was passed down from my master, and few people can learn it. Why not... let your apprentice worship me as his master? Anyway, your iron stick and my steel whip are both heavy weapons. Since he can learn your stick skills, he probably has the qualifications to learn my whip skills... By the way, I can arrange for him to join the Qiulongfu Army in the future. Isn't it better than following you in this small border county?"

Yang Lu was so angry that veins popped on his forehead: "Come, come, come... It just so happens that after I broke through, no one has been able to give me a good fight. You are qualified. Come and beat me, then we can talk!"

He didn't expect that this killer was actually thinking about his own disciple.

…………

At this time, Chen Ku didn't know that he was being targeted by a violent and bloodthirsty captain.

In the guardhouse.

Chai Bao put his hands behind his back and watched Chen Ku knock down six disciples in the late stage of internal energy in the guard academy with an iron stick.

Yang Shaoqi was watching from a distance and licked his teeth: "Fuck, this kid... is in the middle stage of internal energy? When did this happen?"

Watching Chen Ku practicing the first four moves of the Chaotian Yigun with the guards in the guard yard, he felt scared:
"Luckily I brought him to the Guard House, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to subdue him."

Heartbroken.

"I won't sleep tonight. I will practice harder to achieve perfection in my internal energy."

He was stimulated by Chen Ku's talent.

Continue at this pace.

It won’t be long before he, as the senior brother, loses all his dignity.

He didn't want to go out and walk on the street in the future.

When others saw him, they did not call him Yang Shaoqi, but "Master Yang's disciple" or "Master Chen's senior brother"...

Then it would become a pendant for the master and his fellow apprentices.

And Chen Ku really had a great time fighting here in the Guard House.

The more Chai Bao looked at it, the more excited he became.

The bow and arrow is actually the most testing of strength. The greater the strength, the heavier the bow can be pulled.

For example, the 'Diao Bow' in his hand is a precious bow with a force of 20,000 stones. In the entire Yaowang Hall, besides him, only Master Yang Luchan can pull it.

However, Chen Ku had the strength of four elephants and a single arm could lift 20,000 pounds, which was enough for him to be able to pull his precious bow.

At this time, Chen Ku defeated another internal energy master from the Guards Academy and took the initiative to speak:
"I know that all the brothers in the Guard Academy have learned archery from Master Chai. I have a lot of advantages in close combat. How about this? If any brother is willing, maybe he can stand a hundred steps away. I will rush towards him from a hundred steps away and allow him to shoot. This is fair. How do you think?"

Originally, these guard disciples were beaten black and blue by Chen Ku, and they were unwilling to accept it. But hearing his words now was exactly what they wanted, so who would be unwilling?

Even Chai Bao did not stop this, because when the guards practiced archery, they would shoot at each other from a distance of several hundred steps, without arrows, although the speed of the arrows could still hurt people...

But would Yaowangtang be afraid of getting hurt?

If you are injured, you just need to take medicine to heal the wound. As long as you can develop your skills and martial arts, what's the big deal about getting injured?
So, when Chen Ku and a disciple stood still.

"Be careful."

The disciple saw Chen Ku move, stood a hundred steps away, raised his bow and shot.

Chen Ku immediately put on the eagle's eye, and saw the arrow shot at him from a hundred steps away, as big as an elephant. Not only did he not dodge, but he faced the arrow head-on...

He performed the Piercing Sound Step. Although he had not yet mastered it, with the help of his internal energy, he could leap five meters away. He turned in the air with the stick in his hand, and with a grab of his right hand, he firmly caught the arrow flying in the air...

"What?" The disciple was shocked and subconsciously lowered the bow again!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three consecutive arrows were shot out one after another.

But Chen Ku was already seventy steps away, watching the three arrows flying towards him with his eagle eyes. Although the speed did not slow down, the target in his sight was huge, like three pillars...

Grab with five fingers continuously.

Continuously caught flying arrows in mid-air.

Plus the previous arrow.

He had already caught four arrows. In a few breaths, he got close to the disciple from the Guard House and started hitting him with his stick.

"do not fight!!"

When Chen Ku's stick was about to fall within a foot of the disciple, he closed his eyes and shouted anxiously:

"Surrender! Surrender!"

Chen Ku's stick stopped there steadily.

The entire guard compound looked at Chen Ku as if he were a monster.

The archer relied on long-range shooting, but... Chen Ku was able to catch the trajectory of the arrows in the sky, and in one breath, he caught four arrows... and threw them out continuously, switching from long-range combat to close combat again.

What kind of monster is this?

I couldn't win in close combat, the opponent's bravery and violence were too terrifying, and in the end, I didn't have an advantage in long-range combat either...

Chai Bao suddenly called out to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku immediately turned around and saluted: "Disciple is here."

He was actually a little nervous.

Was he going too far and embarrassing the Guards? This was not his purpose.

Then Chai Bao asked calmly:

"You can catch a flying arrow in mid-air. It doesn't seem to be a reaction, but... your eyes can see fast-moving things, right?"

With his many years of experience as an archer, he could see everything clearly from Chen Ku's actions just now.

Just to confirm.

Chen Ku responded softly: "Yes, disciple can see it, so he can catch it."

Chai Bao nodded gently: "Yeah, as expected."

Say it.

Turned around and left.

Chen Ku was stunned.

Ok?
Just one um? That’s it?
But Chai Bao neither knocked him on the head three times nor closed the middle door with his hands behind his back and showed no intention of leaving through the side door.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"It seems that there is no more wool to be plucked."

…………

Yang Luchan returned to Yaowang Hall with his hands behind his back.

But if someone looked closely, they would be able to see that Yang Luchan's hands were shaking slightly in his sleeves behind his back.

at the same time.

On the official road outside Baojiao County, Zuo Zongquan's palms were trembling, and he cursed inwardly:
"The old guy is really tough. He is still strong despite his age."

Here.

Yang Luchan walked towards his own yard, cursing in his heart:
"Damn it, that was really powerful. It's been years since I've had my palms numb from being hit by a weapon."

However, he did get rid of his anger.

what?
Dare you think about your own disciple?
He dared to guarantee that Zuo's hands in his sleeves were shaking even more than his.

Thinking of this, Yang Luchan chuckled.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of his yard, he saw Chai Bao waiting at the gate with something in his hand.

Yang Luchan approached and said with a smile: "It's not even the New Year yet, and you're already here to wish me a happy new year? You're not holding anything back, are you? Just tell me...what's the matter?"

Chai Bao was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke: "Nothing else, just... you see, can Chen Ku also accept me as his master?"
