From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Mu Sheng's vision blurred, but luckily she was sitting on a wooden board, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.

He first carefully considered the situation and killed a total of three bandits.

Having acquired the training memories of thirty-six hours, which is equivalent to one month.

He opened and closed his palms, trying to find a semblance of the feeling of holding a knife.

"Therefore, I need a knife, but with my current knife skills, I'm definitely no match for that tiger."

Mu Sheng got a headache just thinking about that tiger.

Other martial arts are easy to learn but difficult to master, so difficult that they are almost impossible to learn. But his is easy to learn but difficult to master, like a fierce tiger blocking the way.

When encountering a fierce tiger, simply relying on internal strength is not enough; at the very least, you need to strike with force.

But he only had a vague understanding of striking power; as long as he could unleash all his strength once, that was enough.

This cannot be achieved through diligent study and practice alone.

As for the knife, last time Jingyu let him choose, not take it, so he didn't take it out of the warehouse.

With one hand clutching silver and the other holding a Hundred Food Pill, he couldn't free his hand to hold a knife.

However, the Hundred Food Pill is actually more like a nutritional supplement. It can only be considered as a necessity for martial arts training. It provides a certain feeling of fullness, but you still need to eat something in reality.

As for food, it only meets physiological needs; the Hundred Food Pill provides all other nutrients.

Thinking back to the instance we just encountered.

"That bandit did shout out words, although he still had a very mechanical feel to him. He kept swinging his knife whenever he saw an opponent, but that was because his martial arts level was too low. Could it be that he had some kind of divine skill that could directly and completely manifest a person, or even a world?"

He silently put the thought aside. Perhaps such divine power truly existed, but it was beyond his current reach.

Now, as long as he masters both martial arts, he will at least be a master of internal energy transformation, and then he can think about the next martial art.

Perhaps if we want to go further, we need to take a subjective step towards the True Essence View.

He lay on the wooden plank and slept fully clothed.

...

5:00 AM (卯时).

Mu Sheng got out of bed; the dizziness she felt last night had subsided.

Each time you start a dungeon, you will inevitably consume mental energy, but you can replenish it by sleeping overnight.

As for the conditions of his sleeping place, there's no need to be picky. After completing a dungeon run the night before, he's in such a good mental state that he falls asleep as soon as he lies down.

He straightened his Taoist robe before stepping out the door.

His room was located in the deepest part of the temple, and it was quite secluded. Coming out of his room, you could see many people wearing the same Taoist robes as him walking out of their rooms.

He strode forward and saw Mingliu with a worried expression.

"Senior Brother Ming, how did things go yesterday?"

Mingliu's hands were hidden in his wide sleeves, the two sleeves tucked together, and he said with a worried expression, "Let's talk as we walk."

"Okay." Mu Sheng immediately followed Ming Liu to his side, waiting for him to speak.

The others yawned and walked forward silently, heading towards the temple.

Seeing that there were fewer people, Mingliu spoke up, "Yesterday, I specifically inquired about your brother and sister-in-law's accommodation. I'll talk about that later. We need to find a way to support ourselves first. We need meat to practice martial arts, and the two taels of silver given by Zhenyuan Temple are simply not enough for each of us. Although we have Hundred Food Pills to supplement our martial arts nutrition, there are only ten of them. So we must also find some work outside."

Clearly, Mingliu didn't know at first. He thought that entering the Zhenyuan Temple was enough. If Mu Sheng hadn't asked him about the inner city courtyard, he wouldn't have found out about it.

In other words, he also needed to find a way to get some money.

Mu Sheng already knew about this matter; he could figure it out with a simple calculation. He didn't refute it, but nodded and said, "I see. If it weren't for Senior Brother, I probably wouldn't have known. In that case, this matter of money is indeed important to us."

Mingliu said with a bitter expression, "I've inquired around, and there are two ways for us to make money now. The first is through some prominent families within the Zhenyuan Temple. They intend to recruit those of us who came up through the selection process. Those people don't need us to train so hard; they've already paid enough money to the Zhenyuan Temple and joined directly."

"If we join forces with one of them, at least most of the money problem can be solved. However, we will have to follow their lead from now on. If we leave Zhenyuan Temple, we will even need to work as guards in their homes."

Mu Sheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "What about the second one?"

Mingliu's face grew even more bitter, and he said indignantly, "The second point is to take up temporary posts, preferably in some gangs. When we take up these posts, we only need to step in and solve problems when they arise. But the Little Knife Gang has been ravaging the village for years. How can I be their accomplice and help them?"

Mu Sheng nodded in agreement.

If it's a gang, he actually doesn't want to choose it.

"Is there no other option besides joining a gang for a temporary post?" Mu Sheng asked.

Mingliu sighed and said, "Yes, some clinics, security escort agencies, and freight companies also offer temporary positions, but they only earn two taels of silver a month, and they often need manpower to help out. Clinics need to have people there during the day to prevent patients from causing trouble. Security escort agencies and freight companies have to accompany us if there are things to be escorted. Although we don't need to do anything, it still takes up some time."

"Two taels of silver?" Mu Sheng frowned. That would only bring in four taels a month, which was far from enough to make ends meet.

"As for the house you want to arrange for your brother and sister-in-law to live in, the cheapest one will cost at least one hundred taels. If you rent, it will be cheaper, at three taels of silver per month, but you will need to pay every six months," Mingliu said. "That's the cheapest option."

This made Mu Sheng frown immediately. Half a year would only amount to eighteen taels of silver, and he still had twelve taels left. This meant he had to find a way to get another six taels of silver.

Selling the house would solve the problem temporarily.

But it will probably get harder and harder in the future. He silently calculated that it would take at least sixty taels of silver in half a year.

He calculated that even if he found a clinic or a security escort agency, he would only earn four taels a month, and twenty-four taels in six months.

Does he really intend to join a gang?

The gangs he had heard of were all vicious and ruthless. Not to mention that he felt some resistance, Mu Yun, as the head of the family, was very concerned about his reputation. If others found out that he was going there, Mu Yun would probably object first.

"We'll have to think of something else," Mu Sheng sighed.

"It's tough." Mingliu also sighed deeply. He originally wanted to recruit Mu Sheng to his service, but now he himself was thinking about who to serve.

The two of them arrived at that moment.

They had arrived in the main hall, where three people were standing under the huge statue. One of them was Jingyu, and the other two were a middle-aged Taoist nun and a young man who looked more like a Taoist priest than a scholar.

In front of them were rows of prayer mats.

"This way." Mingliu led Musheng to sit on the futon near the door, and the others also sat in front.

"Today we will recite the Pure Land Sutra," the young man in the center said slowly with a smile on his face.
