Meng Sheng rummaged through the box and found an old book with yellowing on the ground, and threw it in front of Jiang Chaoge.

Jiang Chaoge picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?"

"This is the basic technique for soul power training at Tongtian Martial Academy, the best martial arts academy in Tian'ao City."

"That is...the so-called introductory textbook?"

"Almost, it's equivalent to our kid's primary school textbook."

The corner of Jiang Chaoge's mouth twitched, "Elementary school..."

"When children from Tianling Continent are born, they will find people with soul power to identify whether they have soul consciousness. If so, they can be sent to the martial arts academy closest to home to practice soul power when they are five or six years old. The tuition is free.

Low, poor families can borrow money from the nobles, and their children will have to work for the nobles for several years when they grow up. Martial arts academies are blooming all over this continent, the most famous of which are Tongtian Martial Academy in Tian'ao City, and the four major families

Controlled martial arts academies. Not just anyone can enter these five martial arts academies. They are either the children of our nobles or extremely talented. This elementary technique was authorized by the Holy Emperor to be spread on the mainland.

People who cannot afford to go to the martial arts academy to practice on their own can use this set of exercises to at least cultivate the soul power of a third-level soul soldier."

"What about next?"

"From now on, we need to seek more profound soul power cultivation techniques. Advanced techniques are not taught to outsiders."

Jiang Chaoge smiled mockingly, "That means my current level is about the same as that of a five or six-year-old child."

Meng Sheng blew out a smoke ring and said, "Children from noble families start practicing at the age of two or three. You are not as good as them."

"How far can I practice to summon Zhi Xuan?"

"If you look like a baby, one or two months of training is enough. I have said that summoning soul beasts is the lowest level of soul control. Many people who have soul consciousness, but have poor family backgrounds and low talents, rely on

Cultivate some soul power with this technique, resell things, and do part-time work, which will be enough for the whole family to eat and drink."

"Then I'll do it in a month or two..."

"No." Meng Sheng said decisively: "I said, you can't offend him."

Jiang Chaoge sighed, "Mr. Meng, I don't want you to waste your cultivation just to summon a little brat."

"Listen to me." Meng Sheng said: "For people with soul consciousness, there are three directions for soul power cultivation: soul weapons, soul weapon masters and soul guides. Soul soldiers are the most common among them. In addition to having profound knowledge,

Soul power also requires strong combat power; soul weapon masters must have profound knowledge to create good soul weapons, and soul guides are doctors in this world, good at assisting and treating, as long as soul guides do not encounter accidents

, the lifespan can be twice as long as that of ordinary people. The training methods of soul weapon masters and soul weapon masters do not conflict, and the training methods of soul weapon masters and soul guides do not conflict, but soul weapon users and soul guides do

Two completely opposite directions, I started to train in the direction of soul warrior, but in recent years, I gave up and turned to soul guide, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"I want to live longer." Meng Sheng sighed: "I found that I can't become such a powerful soul soldier, so it's better to live longer, and maybe I can go home one day. It's precisely because I practice

The skills of the soul guide, so I can transfer part of my soul power to you. Simple soul weapon users and soul weapon masters cannot do this. Maybe everything is destined in the dark, but it just happened.

Let me meet you, but you have obtained the heaven-level soul weapon, and I can help you. Xiaojiang, I have placed my hope of returning home on you. It only costs a little bit of cultivation, I think it is worth it."

Jiang Chaoge didn't know what else to say. He wanted to tell Meng Sheng not to place hope on him. In fact, he was not sure at all. He could be responsible for his own life and death, but he could not be responsible for others. But he didn't say it in the end. Maybe

Secretly, he desperately needed Meng Sheng's help, or maybe he really couldn't bear to attack this old man's biggest wish.

"Come on, I'll teach you this set of exercises."

Meng Sheng opened the book and explained the exercises to Jiang Chaoge.

Although Jiang Chaoge has never practiced orthodox martial arts, he can still see that this method of circulating Qi and blood through meridians is similar to the ancient internal skills and mental methods. It is easy to get started, but the difficult thing is to practice it day after day, year after year.

Practice hard.

Thinking that people in this world have been practicing soul power since they were children. At his age, the lowest level is third or fourth level soul soldiers, but he started from scratch, it was a long road, he was twenty years behind, and he had no chance.

He had a good weapon, but it was useless. Even he himself was afraid of the future. Meng Sheng actually dared to put the bet on him. He was really bold.

After practicing all afternoon, both of them were hungry and planned to go looking for food.

"Xiao Jiang, can you cook?"

"Yes, what do you have at home?"

"There's nothing." Meng Sheng took out his money bag and weighed it, "Hey, let's go to the street and see what we can buy. I'll take you to see the world."

The two of them left home. It was just before sunset, the busiest time on the street. The smell of food filled the street, the restaurant was full of guests, and even the food stalls were packed. But they walked around in a circle, and Meng Sheng finally only

I bought two handfuls of vegetables, a small piece of meat, and two steamed buns.

Jiang Chaoge was deeply hurt by their poverty.

Meng Sheng could tell at a glance what he was thinking, "We can only eat this now, all because of you. I bought the two black panther bone carvings at a high price from acquaintances in Tian'ao City, and I plan to take them back to Hu

The sale of Ancheng is enough for me to eat for half a year, and now it's all at a bargain price for Prince Shu. Hey, Prince Shu can't even look down on two black panthers. It's such a waste."

Jiang Chaoge said: "You haven't thought of other ways to make money?"

Meng Sheng thought for a while and said, "After I practice my soul guide skills for another year or two, I will be able to practice medicine."

"Let's talk about the present."

Meng Sheng shook his head simply, "No, I don't want to give the rich farmers control of the cattle for farmland. The price is too low."

Jiang Chaoge raised his voice and said, "You are so poor and you still think the price has dropped?"

Meng Sheng spoke louder than him, "If you think I'm poor, go make your own money."

Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath and thought about whether he should go back to his old business and pick up money bags on the street. With his "Flying Dragon Cloud Exploration Skill", it would definitely be easy, but after thinking about it later, he decided to forget it.

As Mr. Meng said, the price is too low.

He looked around and found a vendor selling pearl flowers in the corner. His presence was quite weak and no one was paying attention to the stall. He pushed the food into Meng Sheng's hand and said, "Wait for me." He rolled up his sleeves.

It's past.

The hawker had a pretty face, but he was naturally sad. When he saw Jiang Chaoge coming over, he just looked at him gloomily and whispered: "What do you want?"

Jiang Chao Ge said: "How much do these beads cost?"

"They're all five copper coins each."

"I'll help you sell one, and you give me 30% of it, how about it?"

The vendor was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Jiang Chaoge raised a pearl flower and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and take a look. The pearl flowers come all the way from overseas and are decorated with green dye. The dye is taken from exotic flowers. It not only has a charming fragrance, but also has magical power."

The vendor tugged on his sleeve, "Brother, I bought this from the Chengdong morning market..."

Jiang Chaoge pushed him behind him and whispered: "Shut up."

He shouted twice, and a young man and woman came over and picked up a red beaded flower in confusion, "Is this from a foreign country? I seem to have seen it before."

Jiang Chaoge smiled slightly and said, "Girl, you may have seen similar styles, but you have never seen similar materials. The dye of this flower is taken from an exotic flower called lily. Legend has it that this flower is a pair of flowers that were used by the family.

After the separated lovers died in love, they were nourished by the blood, and the petals were fiery red. The beaded flower dyed with this dye must be put on the head of the beloved girl by the man himself, and the thoughts of the lover condensed in the hoa lily will make the flower bloom.

You two will last forever and never be separated." As he spoke, he had already put the pearl flower into the young man's hand.

The young man was stunned for a moment while holding the flowers. The girl blinked at him and said, "Really?"

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said nothing.

The young man said awkwardly: "Boss, how much does this pearl cost?"

"Fifteen copper coins each."

The young man hesitated a little, but in the end he obediently paid for it. The girl happily let him put the flowers on her head, and kept saying: "Hand lily, lily, it sounds so nice."

After sending the young lovers away, the vendor looked at Jiang Chaoge with wide eyes, "Brother, you..."

Jiang Chaoge ignored him, fiddled with the copper plates with his hands, took away five, and threw the remaining ten to him, "Tidy up the stall, leave one red one, three blue ones, and five white ones.

Leave ten of the yellow ones."

The hawker nodded blankly and quickly packed it up.

Meng Sheng also walked over and looked at him with indescribable eyes.

Jiang Chaoge continued to sell. Every time a customer came, he judged the customer's character and financial resources based on their age, conversation, and clothing. Then he made up a nice story for each bead flower. The rarer the color, the more expensive it was.

He talks nonsense to people and lies to ghosts. In less than an hour, he sold twenty bead flowers and earned more than two hundred copper coins.

Jiang Chaoge touched the more than sixty copper coins in his pocket, which was enough for a meal. He patted the hawker on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't have a sad face when selling things. Instead, smile and praise everyone to death.

When a man has good face and is flattered, he has to pay more. If he is well-dressed, he will pay more. If he is poorly-dressed, he will pay less. Don’t say that you bought it at the morning market. You are from a foreign country overseas.

do you understand?"

The vendor nodded vigorously and looked at Jiang Chaoge with eyes filled with admiration.

Jiang Chaoge patted his shoulder and walked towards Meng Sheng, "Let's go to a restaurant tonight."

Meng Sheng gave him a thumbs up, "What did you do before?"

Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Do some business and make a living."

The two of them found a small restaurant, ordered a few delicious dishes and a bottle of wine. It was the best meal Jiang Chaoge had eaten and the most exciting sip of wine since he came to this world. He knew this.

He couldn't get drunk from a small pot, but everyone would get drunk without getting drunk. He really wanted to get drunk and escape reality for a little bit.
