“This is normal.

You have only made some progress in your standing practice, and you have been practicing for too short a time. Your energy storage may not be as good as that of other apprentices. Of course, you cannot complete one cycle of Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

There is no rush for this.

You go down first. I will teach you how to practice swordsmanship tomorrow. You can come here to practice martial arts every morning. If you are tired, you can go to the side to rest. I will have someone prepare a room for you."

Shopkeeper Su waved his hand and then spoke calmly.

I felt relieved.

At least it’s not too perverted.

It takes time to accumulate knowledge. Chen Yushu has only practiced for more than half a month at best. Even if he has a high talent, how much can he accumulate?
He is not like those rich young men who eat precious ginseng soup three times a day, which has a very solid foundation.

"Ah? Those things downstairs..."

Chen Yushu was stunned.

"Work? You don't have to work now.

Remember, you are my, Su Ming's, disciple now, and from now on you just need to focus on practicing martial arts.

Those things will naturally be done by other apprentices."

Su Ming snorted and said with a proud look on his face.

"Yes!

Thank you, Master! "

Chen Yushu was delighted when he heard this and quickly agreed loudly.

……

“Sure enough, the standing meditation still needs to be practiced.

It’s just a minor level of Zhuang Gong. Although it can help me gather my strength, this strength is too weak and too thin. I can’t even complete one cycle of Yao Wang Locking Strength Gong.”

Chen Yushu discovered his shortcoming, which was that he did not have enough strength.

Strength is the key to practicing external training techniques.

The membrane, flesh, blood, and tibia all need to rely on strength and be constantly washed to become strong.

Practicing the Medicine King Posture is equivalent to laying the foundation and strengthening the strength. The more solid the foundation, the more strength can be gathered at the same time, and of course the stronger the body-building effect will be.

“The Medicine King’s Locking Strength Technique cannot be practiced, but the Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada has no restrictions.

This body technique has a total of eight steps, each step has its own special breathing rhythm, combined with the flow of qi and blood, the force bursts out..."

Chen Yushu quickly remembered the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.

After he read the secret book just now, he wrote down all the contents in it. When he recalled it now, it was clear to him.

Then, he controlled his body, breathing, movements, and stimulated his blood and energy, and took a step forward.

It was like a leap of a bird, and in an instant it had crossed five feet.

"One step is five feet, eight steps is forty feet, or four feet.

No wonder it is called "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada". The distance of a Zen move is usually only three meters.

Once this skill is used, you can quickly catch up."

Chen Yushu's eyes lit up.

Although using this body technique also consumes energy, it is far inferior to the Medicine King Locking Strength Technique.

He continued to practice, and then took the second step, the third step...

Soon, all eight steps were completed.

He moved quickly across the open space, like an agile cheetah, flashing by in a flash.

Learn how to chase cicadas in eight steps!

Soon, Chen Yushu saw the words "Eight Steps to Chasing Cicadas" on the attribute panel.

“I’ve really gotten started.

And it was very fast, only taking the time of an incense stick."

A smile appeared on Chen Yushu's face.

Of course, he also knew that the reason why he was able to learn this martial art so quickly was because of his level of study, which had reached the state of enlightenment.

Enlighten your mind and see your nature, and you will become a Buddha in one thought.

This doesn't mean that he can become an immortal or a Buddha, but it means that he can learn anything very quickly and can achieve it as long as he thinks about it.

“It has been said since ancient times that reading can make one wise and increase one’s intelligence.

I originally thought it was just a legend, but now it seems that there is indeed some truth to it.”

Chen Yushu was filled with emotion and felt more and more the role of reading.

It's just a pity that he has no more books to read in the drugstore. If he wants to improve his reading level, just reading those "old books" will improve him, but the progress will be very slow.

“So, I have to find a new channel to read.

Not only for martial arts training, but also for the cultivation of the Yinren tradition."

Chen Yushu was thinking about it, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up.

After that, Chen Yushu continued to practice the Eight-Step Technique to Chase the Cicada.

Even though he had mastered the Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada, for any martial arts, the basics are just the entry level.

A martial art, no matter whether it is body movement or swordsmanship, can only develop combat effectiveness after practicing it for a long time and reaching a high level.

I'm just a beginner, so I don't have much advantage when facing warriors of the same level.

in the afternoon.

For the first time, Chen Yushu finished work early and bought a tea cake at a teahouse.

Soon, he came to a small courtyard by the river and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Chen at home?"

"Who?"

Then, a middle-aged scholar came out.

"It's you. What's up? Are you used to living here?"

This man was Chen Yushu's current landlord, Chen Shi. He was also surprised to see Chen Yushu, but he still quickly opened the gate and invited Chen Yushu in.

"pretty good."

Chen Yushu said without saying anything that it would be great if there were no corpse raisers around, and then handed over the tea cake and continued, "I came here this time to thank Mr. Chen for renting the house to me at a relatively affordable price.

Secondly, I have something to ask of you.”

"Oh? What's the matter?

Or the rent..."

Chen Shi spoke quickly, not daring to take the tea cake easily.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Chen.

When I rented your house, weren't there still a lot of books left?
I am a person who loves to read books, but every day when I read those books, I feel that I am not knowledgeable enough, so I want to ask Mr. Chen to recommend a few books so that I can read some books in Jingning Academy and increase my knowledge. "

This was the new place he had just thought of where he could read a lot of books.

Ningjing Academy is the only academy in Jianghuan Town. The president is a Jinshi graduate, and there are also many Juren graduates among the teachers. Merchants often donate books, so the book collection is very rich.

If he could read to his heart's content in there, his reading level would definitely improve rapidly.

"Yes, we had originally agreed to take those books away, but we forgot about it when we got busy.

I didn't expect that you, Yushu, would be interested in me. This is actually an unexpected success."

Chen Shi was stunned at first, then he laughed, and said with a slight hesitation, "But, you are going to enter the academy to study now?
This is a bit difficult.

Because to enroll in Ningjing Academy, one needs a recommendation and must at least be a scholar.

I am qualified to recommend you, but you..."

"Mr. Chen misunderstood.

I don't want to go to college.

I am still working in the Liu family pharmacy, so it is not convenient for me to go to the academy to study.

I just hope that you can help me find a way to let me enter the academy and borrow and read books freely."

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said quickly.

In other words, he has now been accepted as an apprentice by Manager Su, and does not need to do any work, which gives him certain conveniences, otherwise he would not be able to do it.

"If you're just reading a book..."

Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then took the tea cake and said, "I am familiar with a teacher at Ningjing Academy, he is a fellow student of mine, but I can only ask for you.

However, some money will inevitably be spent during this period.

After all, there is no precedent for this.

The library of the academy should not be accessible to ordinary people."

"Uncle Chen, don't worry.

I understand all this.

As long as I can go in and study, learn knowledge, and see some cultural accomplishment, I am willing to pay the price. "

Chen Yushu immediately gave a discount and guaranteed it.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are sincere in learning and are an ambitious young man... I would help you contact him, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."

"I know, I will definitely not make things difficult for Uncle Chen."

Chen Yushu nodded repeatedly and calmly passed a piece of silver from his sleeve to him.

Chen Shi felt it and found that the size and weight of the item were worth ten taels of silver. The smile on his face suddenly became even wider, and he muttered to himself that he really had to help him get it done.

After bidding farewell to Chen Shi, Chen Yushu felt more expectant.

The importance of reading realm is beyond doubt.

The reason why he has made such great progress in walking the Yin and practicing martial arts is due to the improvement of his reading level.

It can be said that it is a state of mind and a change.

It is equivalent to an alternative manifestation of his talent.

To this end, he naturally did not hesitate to spend some money.

"Um?

what happened?

Why do I feel like there are more people in town recently? "

As Chen Yushu was walking on the street, some warriors with swords on their waists couldn't help but frown.

Because these people are strangers.

It’s not that he knew most of the people in the town, but their clothes and appearance were out of place with the surroundings.

He used his spiritual eye technique calmly.

At a glance, it can be seen that most of these people have strong blood and energy, and some of them are even comparable to Manager Zhou.

You know, Manager Zhou's strength is actually not bad, he is at the inner level of the Flesh Refining Realm, and his fighting power is second only to the shopkeeper in the pharmacy.

But here, there are several people who have reached this level.

"etc?
Those few were actually people in the industry, two of them were at the level of one incense stick, and the other two were at the level of two incense sticks."

Suddenly, Chen Yushu was startled.

Because he was very concerned about this aspect, Chen Yushu actually knew that there were relatively few people in the same industry in Jianghuan Town.

There is usually only one such person in every two or three villages, and most of them are very mediocre. They say they are people in the same industry, but they only know some things and methods in the industry. Few of them can truly reach the level of more than one stick of incense.

Just like Uncle Zhong from Beijiao Village, he was not highly regarded by Wu Hong.

According to Wu Hong, in the entire Jianghuan Town, there are only about ten people who are truly capable of Taoism, and most of them are working in the town's underworld.

Although he knew that this might not be accurate, because there was a corpse farmer hiding next door to him.

But at this moment, looking at the four people who appeared in front of him, two of them were as strong as Wu Hong, and he began to have doubts in his heart.

Could it be that something big is going to happen in Jianghuan Town recently?
