The neighbors all heard that a second man was born in the Cao family and became the "steward" of the martial arts school.
"Have you heard that Erlang is eight feet long and has the body of a tiger and the arms of an ape? He is a first-rate martial arts practitioner."
"That's not right. I heard that Erlang was free, intelligent, and literate, so he was favored by the martial arts school."
"The news you heard is not very interesting. I heard that Erlang is not a biological son of the Cao family..."
"What the hell, if you can't even feed your own children, why should you feed other people's children?"
"Really, look at Old Cao Tou's submissive look, how could he have given birth to such a promising son!"
Everyone was talking a lot.
After all, it's just a chat after dinner and has no practical significance.
The most amazing thing is that the Qinghu Gang no longer keeps an eye on the Cao family.
The "retreat" of the Qinghu Gang confirmed that the Cao family is extraordinary today.
In this way, the Cao family lived a peaceful life for a few days.
…
Cao family.
In the courtyard.
Cao Su opened the money bag.
This is Brother Hu's money bag. He took it back after sneak attack on Brother Hu.
There was some broken silver in the money bag.
It's about twenty taels.
It's a windfall.
Sure enough, you can make money quickly by trading without capital.
I should have spent money to enter a martial arts gym and learn the essence of Iron Fist.
But now, he has learned the essence of Iron Fist and even completed the Qi and blood breakthrough, so there is no need to spend any more money.
After the breakthrough of Qi and blood, the warrior's physical fitness has been greatly improved.
In the past two days, Cao Su had obviously felt that he was getting hungry faster.
If the nutrition cannot keep up, it will lead to hypoglycemia...
"According to the warriors at the martial arts hall, warriors need to cooperate with Qi and Blood Pills to practice."
The use of elixirs to assist cultivation is a major feature of the times.
In this world, the monks who know how to make elixirs are all wealthy people, and the Qi-Blood Pill is a product of various Taoist palaces. It has excellent effects, is widely spread, and is very popular among warriors.
Cao Su thought for a while and put away the money and silk.
Wealth should not be exposed.
This money must be spent secretly and secretly.
So as not to reveal the truth.
As for plans to improve family living conditions, we can only put them on hold for now.
"Brother, I'm going out!"
Cao Su shouted.
Then he headed to the martial arts gym as usual.
When we reached the big stone bridge, we saw the ugly old beggar again.
The ugly beggar was well-informed, and Cao Su often inquired about information from him.
Once you come and go, you will become familiar with it.
"Boy from the Cao family, you are so lucky!"
The old beggar clicked his tongue in surprise.
With the Qinghu Gang's restraint in the past two days, the Dashiqiao area has returned to its former appearance.
Although it is still so barren and poor.
But it's a lot less confusing.
A rare peace.
"Ugly man, thank you for reminding me."
Cao Su solemnly raised his hands and thanked him.
The ugly beggar is like a mud bug on the ground in Pingcheng. No disturbance can escape him.
That day, the leader of the Baihe Gang was beaten to death, and Ugly Beggar was one of the first people to know the news.
He knew that the Cao family's eldest son was a member of the Baihe Gang.
Then he came over to report to Cao Su and remind him to be careful.
In fact, Cao Su did act cautiously.
Brother Hu was beaten and disabled, but he still acted as if nothing was wrong and got away with it.
"It's okay, don't be polite to me."
The ugly beggar waved his hands, and his smile was uglier than crying: "But you still have to be careful. Brother Hu who was maimed has many friends in the gang. If he can't find the murderer after a while, they may still come back.
I'm causing trouble for you."
"After all, Brother Hu only encountered a vicious attack after he left the neighborhood of your home."
The ugly beggar was well-informed, and his words immediately made Cao Su feel wary.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful."
We also have to be careful, as currently his strength is only slightly stronger than Brother Tiger.
Brother Tiger's yesterday may be his today.
The two chatted for a few more words.
Then Cao Su left.
Instead of going to the martial arts school, he turned around and went to another street.
Danfang!
This is already an area south of the city.
Stay away from the Qinghu Gang's sphere of influence.
.......
The shopkeeper of Danfang is a middle-aged man.
Dress cleanly and smile.
Seeing that Cao Su was young and dressed simply, he didn't show any contempt.
"Shopkeeper, buy some medicine."
Cao Su walked in and glanced around the room.
The room is not big, and there seems to be only one middle-aged shopkeeper.
Cao Su would not think so. Danfang is not a good place, and gangs would not dare to act arrogantly here.
He only noticed that there was only one shopkeeper, but there was not really only one person.
In this bizarre world, what you see may not necessarily be true.
"Young hero, what medicine do you need?"
The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell Qi and Blood Pills?"
There are two types of people who come to the alchemy workshop. One is to take elixirs to cure illnesses and save lives, and the other is to take elixirs to practice cultivation.
Both elixirs are necessary and relatively expensive.
Qi and Blood Pills, a pill cultivated by ordinary warriors, are the most common and most sold pills in pill shops.
"Qi and blood pills are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The top grade requires a thousand taels, the middle grade a hundred taels, and the low grade ten taels."
After hearing this, Cao Su nodded and asked seriously: "Excuse me, shopkeeper, could you please tell me, what's the difference?"
oh?
The shopkeeper originally thought that Cao Su looked like an extremely common man and thought that he would only buy a low-grade Qi and Blood Pill. Unexpectedly, Cao Su actually asked him to introduce the product.
Are you actually interested in middle-grade and top-grade products?
Could it be that he is just a simple rich man?
The shopkeeper immediately became warm and said with a smile: "You said I don't know, there is a huge difference."
"Low-grade qi and blood pills are generally made by Taoist disciples in the Dao Palace of the state. The main medicine is usually the qi and blood of ninth-grade ferocious beasts. It takes three days to make the furnace and five days to produce the pill. When the qi and blood of a warrior who has not reached the level of strength breaks through,
Best taken.”
"The main ingredients of the middle-grade and high-grade Qi and Blood Pills are eighth-grade ferocious beasts and seventh-grade ferocious beasts respectively. Due to the ferocious qi and blood, non-strength warriors cannot take them directly if they are weak."
"Although it cannot be taken directly, the mid- to high-grade Qi and Blood Pills are still the most exciting magical medicine for martial arts practitioners. Many warriors have their own unique secret recipes, which can release the powerful medicinal properties of the mid-to-high-grade Qi and Blood Pills, making those who have not reached the level of strength
Warriors of other realms can also use it normally."
The shopkeeper's explanation gave Cao Su some understanding.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he was in the martial arts school, Hu Ze, who was extremely talented, broke through the Iron Fist skill in January, and was rewarded with two bottles of Qi and Blood Pills by Master Wei of the martial arts school.
Generally, this kind of Qi and Blood Pill comes in one bottle.
Two bottles are two Qi and Blood Pills.
At least 20 taels of silver.
Cao Su made some calculations in his mind. If he spent 10 taels of silver to sign up for the martial arts school, he would at least earn 10 taels in return.
The shopkeeper looked at Cao Su and said with a smile: "How about it, young hero, get some elixirs to practice?"
Whatever.
Cao Su nodded.
"Shopkeeper, give me a low-grade Qi and Blood Pill."
Shopkeeper:......
One?
The enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant.
His good work ethic keeps him smiling.
However, the quick action of taking out the Qi and Blood Pill from the counter still betrayed the uneasiness in his heart.
Cao Su took out the broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper rather painfully.
The shopkeeper weighed it.
Order 10 taels in total.
Cao Su hid the remaining silver and Qi and Blood Pills in his arms.
Tighten your collar.
Then he turned around and left Danfang.
Outside Danfang, the streets are very clean.
No one in the gang dared to wander around the Danfang.
This is Taoist palace business.
If the Taoist palace wants to crush them to death, it is no different than crushing an ant to death.
Cao Su ran all the way back to the martial arts hall.
Just like a normal person, I did one more thing.
It's just that I don't have much control over my hands.
I always touch my chest from time to time.
In the evening, Cao Su left the martial arts hall.
He returned home.
At home, my parents have not returned.
Cao Xing was sleeping in the house.
After Cao Su closed the courtyard door, he couldn't wait to take out the Qi and Blood Pill.
He pulled the cork off the bottle and smelled the aroma.
The Qi and Blood Pill is about the size of a longan, white with red, clear and fragrant.
He always thought that the Qi and Blood Pill must be full of blood.
I didn't expect it to smell really good.
That's right, even though the name is Qi and Blood Pill.
But it is a Taoist elixir after all.
When the Taoist elixir is finished.
Full of color and flavor.
He held it in his hand and examined it.
After all, it was the elixir that cost him a huge sum of ten taels.
If you look at it for a while, your heart won't hurt anymore.
"I've seen enough. It's not interesting. Monopolistic industries are the most shameless."
Cao Su muttered a few words, then raised his head.
I took the elixir.
After the Qi and Blood Pill enters the body, a surge of Qi and blood emerges from the body.
He has been very hungry these days.
There is also insufficient Qi and blood.
Now with this supplement, my body is like a sponge, eagerly absorbing the power of the medicine.
My body felt like it was on fire, getting hotter and hotter.
He stood up and couldn't help but punch a set of iron fists.
Iron Fist is the most basic physical training method.
Cao Su's Iron Fist has reached the level of Xiaocheng.
After waving it down, there was a powerful wind.
He could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger and stronger.
The last few blows of the Iron Fist were filled with energy and blood.
Even people who don't understand martial arts will know that it is quite powerful after seeing it.
The Qi and blood in the body gradually calmed down.
But the body is still warm and surrounded by white air.
Stronger...
My current physical condition is much stronger than the past few days.
Although he still looks thin overall, his complexion is shiny and his body contains strength that cannot be underestimated.
"If we meet Brother Tiger again, we probably won't need to make a sneak attack."
Cao Su thought secretly in his heart.
Not right either.
This world is too dangerous, and maybe people are also hidden warriors.
When it's time to make a sneak attack, you have to make a sneak attack.
After all, I am too weak...
At this time, the courtyard door opened.
Father Cao and Mother Cao are back.
The two of them were stunned when they saw Cao Su standing in the courtyard.
"Dalang!"
Dalang?
What Dalang?
Cao Su followed the gaze of the two men and looked back, and saw Cao Xing standing at the door of the house on crutches.
Cao Xing stood there with a blank expression.
Cao Su's eyes changed.
I sighed in my heart.
See it?
Still careless!
I should have just entered the house first and knocked Cao Xing unconscious.
It's hard to handle now, mainly because I can't explain it.
Not right either.
Cao Xing has never practiced martial arts and is theoretically a rookie.
You shouldn't know how strong he is.
Cao Su comforted himself.
"Da Lang, you can stand up!"
Father Cao and Mother Cao were so happy that they dropped all the baskets in their hands.
He ran over and helped Cao Xing.
"The doctor said you have to lie down for at least three months. It's only been one month and you're standing up?"
Cao's mother cried with joy.
Not only am I happy for my son, but more importantly, the backbone of the family has stood up.
Cao Xing is already twenty years old. Although he is not married, he is already the head of the family.
When Cao Xing was in the Baihe Gang, although his family was in poverty, he was safe and sound and his life was peaceful.
As soon as Cao Xing fell down, the whole family was in a state of tension.
Crisis seems to be everywhere.
Cao Xing kept looking at Cao Su with a strange look as he approached and became silent.
There was still some sweat on Cao Su's forehead after practicing.
"Tonight, we should have a good celebration!"
Father Cao laughed heartily, Da Lang was really in good shape.
