Chapter 11: Martial Arts Internal Strength
……

"Master Jiu, what happened?"

Wu Wen and Zhou Da Kui hurried forward.

Before Master Zhu Jiu could say anything, he saw two more people following him into the yard.

Wu Wen looked up and saw one tall and one short.

Among them was a short man with lowered eyebrows and a natural smile on his lips. He didn't look like a good person at first glance.

The other tall man had a cold face and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

The two of them getting together clearly had bad intentions.

When the two approached, Zhou Da Kui raised his hand and pointed at them, saying unhappily: "Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Who let you in? Get out!"

The tall man raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and flicked Zhou Da Kui's arm lightly as if he was flicking a fly.

The strong Zhou Da Kui felt as if he had been electrocuted. His arm was blown away and he took several steps back.

"Good guy!"

Seeing that the other party had embarrassed him, Zhou Da Kui immediately became furious. He rushed forward, stretched out his arms like a bow and shot an arrow, and punched the other party in the chest.

The tall man did not back down either, as if he looked down on Zhou Da Kui. He threw a random punch, which collided with Zhou Da Kui's fist.

The result was that the tall man was like a nail stuck in the ground, not moving at all.

Zhou Da Kui was flung away and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Wu Wen was shocked.

The short man gave Zhou Da Kui, who was lying on the ground, a disdainful smile, as if he was mocking him for overestimating his own abilities.

When the tall man saw Zhou Da Kui still standing up unconvinced, he immediately stepped forward and kicked him.

"Brother Zhou, get out of the way!" Wu Wen immediately reminded loudly.

Zhou Da Kui rolled over quickly and dodged like a donkey.

The tall man kicked a bamboo rack where herbs were dried.

With a loud bang, the bamboo frame broke into pieces.

Seeing the power of this kick, Wu Wen was stunned.

If this person had kicked the bamboo frame and just knocked it over, or even broke the frame, Wu Wen would not have been so shocked.

However, the bamboo frame that he kicked was shattered into pieces as if it had suffered a huge impact. This was really too exaggerated and it severely refreshed Wu Wen's cognition.

No matter how powerful a person is, how can he cause such damage?

"enough!"

Master Zhu Jiu suddenly shouted loudly.

Everyone paused.

The tall man turned around and stood next to his companion.

Zhou Da Kui also stood up and walked to Wu Wen with lingering fear.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?" Wu Wen asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Zhou Da Kui waved his hand slightly, staring at the other person with full vigilance.

"I will think about this matter carefully. You guys go back first." Master Zhu Jiu said to the two of them.

The short man replied calmly, "Then please consider it carefully, Doctor Zhu. I will come back to hear your reply in two days."

After saying that, the two turned and left.

"Master Jiu, who are they? What do they want to do?" Wu Wen walked forward and asked with concern. Master Zhu Jiu sighed first, then simply replied: "They are from the Qingyi Hall in the county. I don't know who has gained power over the Qingyi Hall recently, and they want to recruit all the doctors in Wannian County to work for them."

Qingyitang is the largest pharmacy in Wannian County.

Although he usually relied on his own strength to suppress other pharmacies, he had always kept his distance from the medical practitioners in the village.

Now, he is trying to win over people everywhere, and if he fails to win them over, he uses threats and inducements. It is clear that he wants to establish a monopoly and completely control the entire Wannian County's medical industry.

"Then Master Jiu, what should we do now?" Wu Wen asked.

Forced by the situation, what else could Master Zhu Jiu do? He sighed and said, "Alas! Let's take it one step at a time."

Turning his head to look at the tiger bone Zhou Dagui brought, Master Zhu Jiu said to him, "Your father asked you to send this, right? Did he say anything else?"

Hearing this, Zhou Da Kui chuckled and said, "My father said that if you refine tiger bone ointment, I hope you can leave two portions for him."

"Haha, he really has a good calculation. Okay, I got it." Master Zhu Jiu chuckled.

After getting the answer, Zhou Da Kui said goodbye with a smile.

After Wu Wen sorted out the scattered herbs, he walked to Jiu Ye who was sitting alone on a bench in the yard and asked in confusion:

"Master Jiu, I'm a little confused. Why are the people from Qingyi Hall who just arrived so powerful? Zhou Dagui is such a strong man, but he was defeated with just one move."

Master Zhu Jiu replied calmly: "That's because that person is from a martial arts sect. Ordinary people are no match for him."

"Martial arts sect?" Upon hearing this word, Wu Wen suddenly felt curious, as if an unknown door was slowly opening to him.

"Master Jiu, what is a martial arts sect? Why are the people in the martial arts sects so powerful?" Wu Wen asked.

Seeing that Wu Wen was so interested, Master Zhu Jiu began to explain it to him in detail:

“There are many sects with a long history in the martial arts world, and the people in these sects have been practicing their unique martial arts since childhood.

These martial arts can not only strengthen one's body, but also help one develop internal strength, which, when combined with martial arts moves, can exert great power."

After listening to Jiu Ye's explanation, Wu Wen couldn't help but think of the martial arts sects and various martial arts skills in martial arts novels.

I don’t know if the internal strength that Jiu Ye mentioned is the same as the internal strength he knows.

If so, then he must find a sect to join and learn martial arts. After all, who doesn't have a martial arts dream since childhood?
"Master Jiu, do you know any martial arts?" Wu Wen asked tentatively.

Jiu Ye smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think I can do it?"

After hearing Jiu Ye's answer, Wu Wen knew that his question was unnecessary.

Seeing the disappointed look on his face, Jiu Ye changed the subject and said, "Although I don't know any martial arts, I still know a thing or two about how to cultivate internal strength."

As he spoke, Jiu Ye stood up, took a few running steps, and leaped directly onto the roof which was more than two meters high.

This scene shocked Wu Wen deeply.

Oh my god, Master Jiu, you hide it so well. We have been together for such a long time, but I didn’t expect that you could hide such a thing.

Jiu Ye on the roof leaped up and then jumped down from the roof. He came to Wu Wen and asked calmly, "Do you really want to learn?"

"Yeah!" Wu Wen nodded frantically, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

However, Master Jiu sighed and said, "Internal energy is not so easy to practice. I have studied it for more than 30 years before I have achieved this little bit of success. And even for the disciples of the big sects in the martial arts world, it takes at least 11 or 12 years of hard practice to learn internal energy."

"What do you think? After hearing what I said, do you still want to learn?" Jiu Ye asked Wu Wen.

"Ok!"

Wu Wen nodded without any hesitation, his eyes full of determination.

Are you kidding? This is martial arts! Even if it is hard and difficult, I will learn it!
