Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 105: Draw the bow and use your strength! Build the strongest group of righteous men

Walking on the second-hand goods street, it was already getting dark.

Chen Jie went straight to the jade stall.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see the stall owner on the second-hand goods street.

It’s getting late, it looks like they’ve closed up shop.

Chen Jie went to the stall owner's residence. He had been to the stall owner's residence last time and bought more than 500 pieces of jade and jadeite.

"Boss! Are there a lot of goods in the palace recently?"

"Hey, why is there nothing at home? Where are the things?"

Chen Jie came to the stall owner's residence and looked around.

empty!

There is no stock around, and the shelves that used to display jade and jadeite are now empty.

For a while,
Chen Jie felt a little disappointed.

Jade and jadeite are a shortcut to wealth for him.

Without money, he could not move forward, even though he had a large stock of jade, more than 700 pieces.

but,

The domestic jade and jadeite market is so huge, and the amount of goods he ordered is not enough to fill the gaps in his teeth.

However, the stall owner's next words made Chen Jie feel relieved.

"Sir, there are too many goods in the palace recently, and my place is too small to store them all!"

finished,

He looked around, leaned close to Chen Jie's ear, and whispered:
"I heard that a war is about to break out, so many things in the palace are starting to be sold outside."

"Jade, agarwood, rosewood furniture, etc., there are too many!"

"But you also know that I only know a little about jade and jadeite. How can I understand other things?"

"There are two large houses connected to each other on Ximen Street. They belong to the palace. They asked me to help sell them!"

"There are too many things. I definitely can't put them here. There's not enough space."

"Everything is placed over there. If you're interested, I can take you there to have a look."

"But let me be clear, the item isn't mine. I don't have the wherewithal to buy it. The 'eunuch' in the palace will be in charge of negotiating with you. I'm just the go-between."

"Even if the talks break down, or if there are any problems in the future, don't come to me!"

Chen Jie nodded and said with a smile:
"Alright, stop talking about the 'eunuch' in the palace. He's your immediate superior, right?"

"Let's go and take a look together!"

The last time Chen Jie followed the stall owner to his residence, he felt a little strange.

Why is this person so familiar with the palace?

Moreover, observing this person's expression, Chen Jie always felt a little awkward, as if something was wrong.

Just when the other party said "father-in-law".

In an instant, Chen Jie felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Damn——

It is easy to understand why the palace maids and concubines would ask the stall owner to sell their jade jewelry and other items.

After a long time, it turned out that the stall owner was someone from the palace.

Half an hour later,

The stall owner took Chen Jie to a big house.

No, it should be said that there are two large houses connected together.

The person in charge of the buying and selling of items in the palace is a "eunuch" in his fifties.

After the stall owner's introduction, Chen Jie knew that the other party's surname was Cao, and called him "Eunuch Cao"!
Chen Jie chatted with Eunuch Cao for a while, then asked directly:
"Eunuch Cao, are you saying that everything that leaves the palace passes through you?"

Eunuch Cao nodded and smiled, "I can't say all of it, but probably 90% of it went through me."

Chen Jie looked at the other person with interest for a moment and said:
"How much stock do you have now? If I want all of it, how much would it cost?"

Eunuch Cao and the stall owner looked at each other.

Then,

He turned his head and glanced at Chen Jie, and said calmly: "If you want them all, the total of three thousand silver dollars, including the two houses, are all given to you!"

What?
Chen Jie almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Three thousand silver dollars!?
"Eunuch Cao, you are not kidding me, are you? Three thousand silver dollars?"

Chen Jie almost laughed.

It’s already this late, and you really dare to make such a high price.

Although the prices of various supplies in the capital are rising wildly, such as rice, vegetables, meat, flour and other daily necessities, the prices change every day.

but,

The prices of jade, jadeite, wooden furniture, including porcelain and jewelry from the palace, are just the opposite.

but,

Eunuch Cao actually dared to directly offer a price of three thousand silver dollars.

This is really taking advantage of yourself!

Chen Jie shook his head. If it weren't for his good relationship with the stall owner, he almost wanted to turn around and leave, not bothering to bother with this old guy.

The coalition forces of Western powers have recently been clamoring to invade the capital.

Simultaneously,

The Japanese fleet landed in Lushun and continued to increase its troops, planning to march north to take Liaodong.

The situation of the Daqian Dynasty became increasingly serious.

Does this old guy really not know the purchasing power of three thousand silver dollars?

"I'm not kidding you. If Xiao Yuanzi hadn't specifically told me that you have such financial resources, I wouldn't even talk to you!"

"Three thousand silver dollars, absolutely worth it!"

"If the current situation wasn't so dire, you wouldn't be able to buy it even with 10,000 silver dollars under normal circumstances."

"These two houses are the property of the palace. Everything that has been taken out of the palace in the past month is here."

"If it weren't for the fact that things are hard to sell recently and the palace is short of money, I wouldn't sell it to you."

"These are all treasures from the palace, which can't be seen outside."

Seeing Eunuch Cao's serious expression, Chen Jie suddenly became interested.

Are you trying to fool me?
"Let me check out the stuff first!"

Chen Jie smiled and said, no matter whether he was trying to fool him or not, he would take a look at the goods first.

He had done business twice with the stall owner who was called "Xiao Yuanzi" but had a very honest face.

All the things are indeed treasures from the palace.

Therefore,
No matter what price Cao Gong offers, you have to take a look at the goods before making a decision.

Click——!
Next, Eunuch Cao opened the doors of the two large houses.

The area inside is very large, even larger than the big house Chen Jie lives in now.

Next,
He looked up and saw the items placed around him, and couldn't help but gasp.

Damn it——!
Are they going to empty the palace?

The two houses together cover an area about half the size of a football field.

It is filled with various items from the palace.

There are jade and jadeite, various furniture, pearls, glass, and ceramics.

The dazzling array of items is dizzying.

"Here are all the things, including the deeds to the two houses, a total of three thousand silver dollars!"

"If it weren't for the Western coalition forces planning to invade the capital, these things wouldn't be so cheap. They would cost at least tens of thousands of silver dollars."

Eunuch Cao sighed and continued, "For every one of these things you sell, there will be one less!"

"I'm selling it to you at a low price because I don't want to see these treasures being snatched away by Westerners!"

"If those beasts can't take it away, they'll burn it!"

"They burned a lot of things last time in Tianjin. They were all treasures that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Daqian Dynasty."

Chen Jie nodded and said:
"Deal! I don't have enough money, go get some right now!"

"After you sell these two houses to me, if I want to buy something from the palace in the future, how can I find you?"

Although Chen Jie had told the stall owner last time that if he had any goods, he could go to Ximen Car Dealership or Humenfang to find him.

However, the other party never looked for me.

It is obvious that the stall owner is worried that he will be forced to lower his price if he comes to him.

In this case, Chen Jie could only take the initiative himself.

Otherwise, it would be a shame if all these treasures that flowed out of the palace were wasted.

When Eunuch Cao heard this, he was stunned.

Want more?

He bought it directly for three thousand silver dollars, and didn't even bargain for it, and he even wanted to keep asking for more! ?
What does this guy do?
Eunuch Cao frowned slightly and looked at Chen Jie carefully again for a moment.

He sighed and said:

"Don't worry, our main location is on Dongmen Street. This is just a branch!"

"We'll sell you the house as well. We're planning to close the Ximen Street branch."

Chen Jie thought for a moment after hearing this and said:

"You closed the Ximen Street branch because there are few rich people here and it's hard to sell, right?"

"Dongmen Street is too far from here, it's inconvenient!"

"How about this, I'll pay, and you don't have to close the branch on Ximen Street. Just continue to find a few more big houses and bring all the things from Dongmen Street over here."

"I'll take care of all the stuff sold in the palace!"

When Eunuch Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

All inclusive?
So rich?
"I can't answer you now, but I will discuss it with the palace."

Eunuch Cao hesitated for a moment and said.

Chen Jie only had 1,000 silver dollars on him, which was not enough. He said to Eunuch Cao, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the money first."

The biggest problem with silver dollars is that they are too heavy.

He thought it was too much to carry a thousand silver dollars when he went out, so it was impossible for him to carry several thousand silver dollars on him.

Half an hour later, Chen Jie took a rickshaw back to Eunuch Cao's place.

Three thousand silver dollars!

After paying the money, the two houses and the things inside became Chen Jie's.

These two houses are very good choices as warehouses.

If you want to get these things over there, you can only do it little by little, like ants moving house.

There is no other way. Every time you move an item over, you need to consume [Martial Arts Merit Points].

It's impossible for Chen Jie to take it all at once.

Therefore,
It is necessary to have a large warehouse.

in addition,

Although there are a lot of things, not all of them are valuable.

For example, some glass products that came out of the palace were regarded as treasures by the palace maids and concubines, but these things were not valuable when brought over there.

Chen Jie counted secretly and found that the number of jade and jadeite items alone exceeded ten thousand.

In addition, there are a lot of furniture made of agarwood, rosewood, etc., which is like a furniture store, filling up an entire house.

Just as Eunuch Cao said, these items were absolutely worth buying for three thousand silver dollars.

After getting the title deed and the key to the house.

Chen Jie asked casually, "Eunuch Cao, you just said that the Western coalition forces are going to invade the capital. Is this news reliable?"

Although Chen Jie knew that this day would come sooner or later.

but,

He didn't know the exact time.

Eunuch Cao shook his head and sighed:
"It should be soon! The Emperor has issued an edict allowing civilians to form militias, also known as 'righteous groups', so that everyone can fight the enemy together!"

"The affairs of the Righteous Group are in the charge of the Sixth Prince, and led by Lord Xu Shichang."

"This is the news we just received this morning. If nothing unexpected happens, the Western coalition forces will start the war in a month at most!"

“I don’t know how many people will die this time!”

"The Western coalition forces are dispatching troops, and the Easterners are coming even more aggressively."

"I wonder if organizing a 'righteous group' at this time can stop the Westerners!"

It can be seen that Eunuch Cao is worried at the moment and even feels desperate about the future.

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this.

Vigilantes!?
Oh my god - no way?

Is this really history repeating itself?
I remember that in the history of that world, the Western Allied Forces landed in Tianjin under the pretext of suppressing the "righteous group" and marched straight into the capital!
call--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

in time!
Damn, there’s still time!
Organize a 'righteous group'!
We must organize the largest "righteous group"!
I didn't expect that when I felt sleepy, someone immediately brought me a pillow.

Chen Jie was wondering before whether his massive expansion of Ximen Hall would arouse the fear of the Daqian Dynasty and lead to his suppression!

Now, the imperial edict has been issued, ordering the vigorous development of the "militia"!
We can legitimately develop and expand 'Ximen Hall'!
What Chen Jie wanted was not a group of guerrillas, but a regular army that could actually fight.

Make money—make money—!
Originally, Chen Jie was already very content with his money and had no sense of urgency.

But now, he was once again eager for money.

silver dollar!

A large amount of silver coins is needed.

Suddenly, Chen Jie discovered something.

I seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. I only thought about transporting silver dollars from there, but never thought about how to earn more silver dollars in this world.

Although the [Martial Arts Merit Points] consumed by transporting the silver coins from there are very few, only 1 point is consumed for ten silver coins.

but,

Once the consumption of silver dollars is too great, reaching hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.

Then,

The amount of [Martial Arts Merit Points] consumed will be an astonishing number.

If you want to buy land, houses, shops in the capital, or even hoard land in other cities of the Daqian Dynasty, you will need to spend a lot of silver.

To form the largest "righteous group" and arm it to the teeth requires a lot of money!

It seems that transporting silver coins is definitely not a long-term solution. We must stay here and make money from money.

-

Just when Thirteenth Aunt, Eighth Sister and others were busy buying supplies everywhere in the capital.

Instead, Chen Jie relaxed and began to practice martial arts hard.

The night before yesterday, Chen Jie witnessed the fight between Li Yun and Tuzang Jinsan, which had a profound impact on him.

It can even be said that witnessing the fierce battle with the 'Iron Bones and Dark Power Master' was a milestone in Chen Jie's improvement in martial arts.

Being able to kill Tuzang Jinsan with four shots was due to the advantages of time and place.

Chen Jie thought over and over again that if Tuzang Jinsan had not underestimated the gun in his hand, it would not be so easy to kill the other party.

Tuzang Jinsan's 'realm of refining the spirit' has reached the level of 'inner vision'!
He was able to use a Japanese samurai sword to block the bullet at such a close distance.

It's so fierce that it's unimaginable!
He didn't feel it at the time, but whenever he thought of that scene, Chen Jie felt a little scared.

If the opponent did not want to fight at that time, instead of rushing forward, he would block the bullet with a knife and then retreat and escape at high speed.

Can I kill the other party?

"According to Li Yun, Tuzang Jinsan is a master who has reached the 'Iron Bone Dark Energy Great Perfection Realm', and his swordsmanship is superb!"

"Especially the state of 'inner vision', which has a super strong spiritual perception and prediction, it is really terrifying!"

Recalling the swordsmanship during the fierce battle between Tuzang Jinsan and Li Yun, Chen Jie felt very afraid of the Japanese samurai's kung fu.

Bang, bang, bang—!
The combination of iron arm punches made bursts of sharp and crisp sounds in the air.

Air punch!
He was testing the explosive power of his punch. After a powerful straight punch, his arm contracted and bent slightly.

Bend the bow and exert force!

really,

When throwing a straight punch, bend your arm slightly, then instantly accelerate and produce an airburst sound!

But if you simply throw a heavy straight punch, the power and speed will be much smaller.

"Use force in an arc! Rather than simply contracting the muscles, this is the essence of the Iron Arm Fist."

"I combined the power of the kick and the power of the iron fist, and used the power of the bow to form an arc. This is the most perfect state!"

"It seems that if I want to take 'Pulse Cleansing Basics' to the next level, I must perfectly master this bow-bending technique!"

Before this, when Chen Jie was training Iron Arm Fist and Poking Kung Fu, he was only practicing basic skills.

What Aunt Thirteen taught him were the most basic ways of exerting force, and at the same time, they allowed him to stretch his muscles and bones, making the coordination between muscles and bones very flexible.

After Chen Jie defeated all the opponents in the elite martial arts gym and became the chief boxer of the elite martial arts gym.

He then went to the Laojie Boxing Arena in Kokang, Southeast Asia, and had a boxing match, killing the Japanese man Yamamoto Benjiro.

He originally thought that his kung fu was very good.

but,

After seeing the peak combat power of the master who had reached the realm of Iron Bones and Dark Power, he had to put aside his arrogance.

For masters who have reached the realm of 'Great Accomplishment of Dark Power', whether it is the super-strong prediction of the 'Refinement of the Spirit' or the instantaneous burst of power, they have already reached the peak state of the human body.

This is real kung fu!

The speed is so fast, the reaction is so quick, the explosive power is so fierce, and the strength is so swift, every move can cause infinite destructive power.

Even when Chen Jie's Iron Arm Fist was in its extreme state, it could still make a sound of breaking through the air.

but,

The Iron Arm Fist uses the 'arc bow' force, and the fist attacks in a rotating manner!

This subtle change in punching power has completely different lethality.

He punched out with great speed, twisting his fist like a hammer drill.

At the moment when the fist tip approaches the target, essence, energy and spirit merge into one and instantly condense at the fist tip.

Then the power of the punch began to spread and exploded instantly.

One touch and one click!
In a flash, the fist was retracted!
Iron arms as strong as springs!

Only by relying on the changes in the force of the bow can the lethality of the punch be increased to its peak.

In fact, from the perspective of the essence of force, using a curved bow to generate force is the transition from "cleansing the meridians" to "copper skin and bright strength".

If you want to understand the power of Ming Jin, you must practice the power of the curved bow to the extreme.

This is the insight Chen Jie gained from the life-and-death duel between Li Yun and Tuzang Jinsan.

have to say,

It’s not often that you get the chance to watch a life-and-death battle between masters at the ‘Dark Power Great Accomplishment Realm’ up close.

If Chen Jie can practice the bow-bending technique to the highest level, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

Basic muscle strengthening, entry-level meridian cleansing, copper skin bright strength, iron bone dark strength, marrow-changing strength, blood-moving pill strength——!
In Chinese martial arts, every great realm is a transformation and enhancement of strength.

Once you break through to the Ming Jin realm, the lethality of your fist will increase exponentially.

That’s right, it’s not the increase in the explosive power of punching, but the lethality!

of course,

Chen Jie had just made a breakthrough to the entry level of meridian cleansing and was still a long way from comprehending the power of Ming Jin.

He kept thinking and understanding in his mind.

Simultaneously,

He was also constantly thinking and calculating how to quickly improve his level of strength.

There is no shortcut to learning martial arts, but you can improve the effectiveness of your training.

'Medicinal bath' and 'medicinal supplements' are one of the best aids, and there are also training methods and so on.

In the future, if you want to gain more [Martial Arts Merit Points], you must continue to improve your strength.

The pressure from the environment forced Chen Jie to make progress!
