Chapter 44 Crossing the River

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Half a month later, in the early morning, Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall closed for bathing as usual.

Chu Xisheng swallowed a Peiyuan Pill in his backyard, then shirtless, he breathed in the rising sun.

This time Chu Xisheng persisted under the scorching sun for more than half an hour, and he stopped only when smoke began to rise all over his body.

When Chu Xisheng finished the exercise, he glanced at the 'Yang Yuan Gong' on the system screen out of habit.

Immediately, two pieces of information appeared in his mind.

——Should we use 13 martial arts points to improve the cultivation of Yangyuan Gong to the second level of perfection?

——Should we use 50 martial arts points to replace the third secret medicine of Yangyuan Gong?

Chu Xisheng naturally chose no.

He looked at the system screen mainly to keep track of the progress of his Yang Yuan Gong.

Chu Xisheng has now basically figured out that one martial arts point is equivalent to about 3 Peiyuan Pills, or thirty days of practice under normal circumstances.

I remember that on the fourth day of August, when Chu Xisheng came out of the Fire Bone Cave, he needed 20 martial arts points to upgrade Yang Yuan Gong to the second level of perfection. Today, August 30, he only needs 12 points.

Chu Xisheng now mainly relies on Peiyuan Pills for practice without interruption. From the fourth day of August to the present, he has swallowed twenty-six Peiyuan Pills continuously.

One Yuan-Building Pill is equivalent to ten days of practice.

It can be seen from this that the rapid progress in spiritual practice of the children of those wealthy families is not without reason.

Qin Muge entered the first rank at the age of twenty-two. In addition to her own talent, she also had the help of the Tieshan Qin family.

Chu Xisheng then began to practice Chai Feng Knife and Qing Yunzong.

Although he can now practice martial arts in his dreams, he has not given up on his practice during the day.

There is a fixed half hour every day, and it is unchangeable.

At this time, as Chu Xisheng swung his long knife, a strange bloody light suddenly appeared on a knife pattern on his right arm.

This is exactly the secret move totem he carved.

Chu Xisheng followed Chu Yunyun's suggestion and finally did not choose the "Wind from the Ground" style, but instead engraved the seventeenth style "Wind and Thunder" pattern of Chasing Wind Knife on her body.

This is because at least half of the movements in 'Wind and Thunder' are almost identical to 'Wind from Ground'.

He only needs to make slight corrections to the sword-drawing posture of the 'Empty Wind', so that this 'secret move totem' can have the same effect as the two.

In the future, he will switch to practicing the Kamikaze Mirror Sword. This secret move totem can also correspond to the draw style of the Kamikaze Mirror Sword.

This is the advantage of having a first-grade martial arts master by his side, which can save him from making many detours.

Half an hour passed quickly. Chu Xisheng wanted to try practicing for a while, but then he felt paralysis in his limbs and his heart twitched.

He sheathed the sword helplessly, and then looked at the martial arts column on the system screen.

——Zhuifeng Sword Technique (Second Level), Qingyun Zong (First Level).

In the past half month, although Chu Xisheng focused on practicing Qingyunzong in his dream practice, he has not been able to improve the level of Qingyunzong so far.

Fortunately, although the words in this martial arts column have not changed, the effect of Chu Xisheng's simulated practice in his dream is real.

His current movement is faster and more agile than half a month ago, and he can perfectly coordinate with the Wind Chasing Knife.

These two martial arts have been integrated so seamlessly that they are indistinguishable from each other.

Chu Xisheng was a little hesitant as to whether he should use 8 martial arts points to force Qing Yunzong up.

He wanted to complete the second level of Qingyunzong as soon as possible.

Chu Xisheng's idea is simple and pragmatic. Since he has the 'Time Instant Shadow Body' and has advantages in movement skills, he needs to strengthen his advantages in this area.

Chu Xisheng now has enough martial arts points to squander.

The effect of the book "On the Martial God Machine" was astonishing. It brought him a total of 27 martial arts points in half a month, bringing his accumulated martial arts points to 31.

However, tonight was another round of martial arts treasure house refresh period, so Chu Xisheng decided to wait.

And just as he narrowed the system screen to the corner of his eye, the door of Chu Yunyun's room opened with a creak.

Wearing a lake-green outfit and a light gauze cloak on her head, she walked out of the room: "Have you finished practicing? Pack up quickly. We should go out. If it is later, there will be no ferry."

Chu Xisheng responded, immediately walked into the room, and carried the luggage she had prepared in advance.

The luggage is very hard and straight. It mainly contains the weapons from the Fire Bone Cave and some food.

Today they plan to go to the black market in Hedong, sell the weapons they have, and then buy some things there.

Since returning from the Fire Bone Cave, Chu Xisheng has been staying in the martial arts hall to practice martial arts secretly, and has almost never stepped out of the martial arts hall gate.

This is a rare leisure time since he time traveled.

There is no need for escorts, no need to buy groceries and cook. Apart from cultivation, he does not have to worry about anything.

But now it's no longer possible. The magic silver in their hands has been exhausted and they are in urgent need of replenishment.

The technique Chu Yunyun practices is a gold-swallowing beast.

Jin Yiwei's salary, the hush money given by Lu Luanli, and the silver reward given by Cao Xuan, a total of more than one hundred taels of magic silver, were all wiped out by Chu Yunyunhua within this month.

Chu Xisheng tied the luggage tightly behind her, and placed a knife covered with blue light patterns on her waist with great care.

This is the 'Demon Refined Light Steel Sword', and it is also Chu Xisheng's new sword.

Half a month ago, Tie Xiaosheng asked someone to send him a heavy gift as a reward for saving his life.

This person is much more generous and kind than the martial arts school and the Jin Yiwei. He was given as many as thirty Peiyuan Pills and he was also given this 'Demon Refined Light Steel Sword'.

This knife is based on a hundred-refined light steel knife with a large amount of magic silver added to make it lighter, faster, sharper, and stronger.

This is a ninth-grade sword, and second-hand items on the market can cost as much as 200 taels.

The Deputy Iron Banner Master was still extremely guilty, saying that the situation in the Iron Banner Gang was tense and he had no time to leave for the time being. He would prepare a small gift to express his gratitude, and wait until the situation there stabilized before visiting in person.

After the two of them walked out of the martial arts hall, they walked towards the east dock of the city.

The black market they were going to was on the east bank of the Shenxiu River, in a market town called the Ancient Market.

It is diagonally opposite the east dock of the city and across the river from Xiushui County City.

This place is not only the water transportation center in the southern border of Dongzhou, but also the most famous black market in Dongzhou.

All the shady black goods, businesses, and various smuggling trades in Xiushui County, as well as many Jianghu people who are not allowed to be tolerated by the government, are all gathered in this market town. Its prosperity is not inferior to Xiushui County City.

After arriving at the Chengdong Wharf, Chu Xisheng took a special look in the direction of the Iron Flag Gang's main rudder.

The chief rudder of the Iron Flag Gang is a large ship of ten thousand stones, parked on the north side of the pier, which is very conspicuous. There are also several ships of the Iron Flag Gang parked around this ship, like stars looming over the moon.

Hundreds of flags of the Iron Flag Gang were placed on the boat, fluttering fiercely and showing great majesty.

After Chu Xisheng took one look, he felt relieved.

In the past month, there have been many rumors about the Iron Flag Gang in the martial arts gym.

Some say that the Long family has wooed several big families in the inner city and are enemies of the Iron Banner Gang, causing the Iron Banner Gang to suffer heavy losses; others say that there are traitors within the Iron Banner Gang and they are about to be defeated by the Long family.

But today, Chu Xisheng only looked at the general situation of the Iron Flag Gang and knew that those rumors were absolutely unbelievable.

And as long as Iron Flag's help is stable, the Long family will have no extra energy to cause trouble for him.

At this time, a ferry slowly docked. Chu Xisheng withdrew his gaze and boarded the gangway with Chu Yunyun.

This is a sand boat - not a modern sand dredger, but the name of an ancient flat-bottomed sailing ship.

They travel among rivers and will not run aground when encountering sand.

There are two decks in total, and there is a wooden awning on the back side of the boat.

The ferry business was very good, and the boat was quickly filled with people. But just as the boatman was swinging the rudder and preparing to set sail, a female voice like a silver bell came from the distance.

"Boatman, wait!"

Chu Xisheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling that the voice was very familiar.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Lu Luanli hurriedly running onto the boat. She looked around, and when she saw Chu Xisheng, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked over with surprise on her face.

"What a coincidence, you are also going to the ancient market in Jiangdong?"

While asking, she pushed Chu Yunyun to sit down.

Chu Xisheng doubted the authenticity of this 'accidental encounter', but there was no evidence.

And just when he was about to answer, another female voice came from outside the boat.

"Wait a moment, boatman, there are people here!"

This voice is somewhat like the so-called "smoke voice" in modern times. It is magnetic and very pleasant, making people want to see its true appearance.
