"Seven or eight are not too few. You must know that every time you train an innate warrior, the resource consumption is a terrifying number. The key is that even if you invest so much, the possibility of the acquired perfection being able to advance to the innate level is still very slim." Zhen
The aunt sighed and smiled bitterly.
The young man fell completely silent.
"Okay, innateness is still too far away for you. If this day comes, you will immediately become the person who stands at the top of the entire Da Qi. Even the emperor of Da Qi will be polite to you and try his best to win over you.
This is also the source of the statement of the warrior who protects the country. Now, let me tell you something about body tempering and understanding the sense of energy. What level of body tempering are you at now?" the woman continued to ask.
"Seventh Floor"
When Shi Mu heard this, his spirits perked up.
Indeed! For him now, being able to understand Qi and joining the Kaiyuan Martial Academy is the most important thing.
"Seventh level is a bit too low. Kaiyuan Martial Palace will start recruiting students in one year. Can you reach the ninth level in one year?"
"I wasn't sure before, but now I should be." Shi Mu said with certainty after thinking for a moment.
"Even if you can reach the ninth level of body tempering within a year and understand the sense of Qi, you have only met the basic conditions for entering the Kaiyuan Martial Academy. There will still be a fierce battle." The woman was a little strange and still said this.
.
Shi Mu listened attentively.
"As far as I know, among the martial arts disciples who want to enter the Kaiyuan Martial Palace this year, there are indeed many geniuses. Many have already practiced the body tempering technique to the ninth or even tenth level at a young age. After all, tempering
The higher the physical level, the more helpful it is to understand the sense of energy. According to the practice in previous years, even if you have the assistance of the spirit pill, if you want to be able to understand the sense of energy at your age, it is often less than one in ten. Many martial arts disciples are in their thirties and forties.
Afterwards, I took many Qi Ling Pills before I could barely comprehend the acquired Qi sense. This is also the reason why Kaiyuan Martial Academy only recruits martial arts disciples over ten and under fifteen years old. Under ten years old, the bones have not yet been finalized and cannot be trained.
Practicing the art of body tempering. If you are over fifteen years old, you have no potential to reach the acquired perfection state, and there is no value in training. Da Qi may have many acquired warriors, but among them, there are still less than a hundred warriors who can truly have the opportunity to hit the innate state.
That’s it. Our Jin family has an ancestor who has acquired the Great Perfection, and this is the main reason why the Jin family can become a wealthy family in Quanzhou." When the woman said the last word, she couldn't help but show a proud look on her face.
"The higher the level of body tempering, the higher the chance of understanding the sense of energy! Less than one in ten?" After hearing this, Shi Mu took a deep breath.
Although he had anticipated that not everyone who took the Qi Spirit Pill would successfully comprehend the Qi Sense, he never expected that the chance of success would be so low.
"If you regret it, the other path I promised before is still valid." Aunt Zhen stared at the young man and suddenly smiled.
"No, I've made up my mind." Shi Mu shook his head.
"In this case, I will transfer the title deed and other things to the manor outside the city to you later. You can live in that manor first. I will ask Jin Cheng to accompany you there. If you need anything in the future, you can contact him directly. One year later
, I will notify you when the Qi Ling Dan that the Jin family has reserved arrives. I would like to remind you that during this period, in addition to learning to temper your body, you’d better find a way to learn a few more sets of practical martial arts. When you enter the martial arts academy,
You should be able to use it. Although the Jin family also has several sets of martial arts passed down from family to family, they never pass on people with different surnames." Aunt Zhen nodded and warned again.
"Thank you Aunt Zhen!" This time, Shi Mu's words really contained a hint of gratitude.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ming, accompanied by Jincheng, walked out of the house with a wooden box in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.
What is contained in the wooden box is the family property left to him by his father, which not only includes a large manor on the outskirts of the city, but also three to four hundred acres of good farmland nearby, a restaurant in a good location in the city and three thousand taels of silver.
ticket.
He actually became a wealthy man in one day.
What Shi Mu didn't know was that not long after he left the house, another middle-aged man visited the place and asked Aunt Zhen angrily in the hall:
"Seventh sister, you really don't want to leave that Qi Spirit Pill to your nephew, but to an outsider?"
"My father personally promised this. What, do you have any objections?"
"Of course I have an opinion! I won't talk about the Biao brothers. That boy's surname is Shi and not Jin. Why should the elixir that our Jin family spent so much effort to obtain be given to an outsider? As long as you change your mind on your own initiative,
Father will definitely not have any objections. It’s not like you don’t know that your nephew failed to comprehend Qi Sense last time. This year he finally has some confidence. In addition, it is also the enrollment year of Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
Maybe I'll let this opportunity pass by." The middle-aged man's face was a little narrow, and when he was so angry, his eyes were like spitting fire.
"Humph, why? Because my husband only has such a biological son, and because he has saved nearly half of the Jin family's wealth? In this case, fifth brother is satisfied." Aunt Zhen snorted and said rudely.
"Okay! Okay! That boy obviously has no blood relationship with you, but you still turn your elbows outward! If so, then there will be no more love between us brothers and sisters. I won't beg you this time, even if I lose everything
, I will also get another Qi Spirit Pill for your nephew!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man left angrily.
"Mother, you really let Uncle Wu go away like this."
As soon as the man left the hall, Shi Yuhuan emerged from nowhere and asked with a blink.
"It's okay. It's not that you don't know that your fifth uncle's son is not a martial artist at all. He spent so many medicinal baths and was just able to temper his body. Even if you give him the Qi Spirit Pill this time, the chance of realizing Qi Sense is still low.
How much will it increase? He is forcing you so much just because he wants to gain a final advantage for your cousin."
"This is also true. I'm afraid Jintian's qualifications are not as good as my brother's. Even if he barely comprehends Qi Sense, his chances of passing the martial arts academy are very low." Shi Yuhuan clapped his hands and laughed after hearing this.
"Haha, you started to turn against your own brother so quickly, but I don't think highly of Shi Mu. But there are only so many things I can do for your brother. If I come forward to help with other things, I'm afraid the rest of the Jin family will
I’m going to be dissatisfied too.”
"Although this is the first time I have met my brother, I feel that he is pretty good. At least he is much better than the few wine bags and rice bags in the Jin family." Jin Yuhuan replied with a smile.
"Actually, your grandfather agreed so easily to separate out a Qi Spirit Pill, and it was because of you, girl. After all, you have already understood Qi Sense at the age of twelve, and you have also practiced body tempering.
At the tenth level, your grandfather has high hopes for you." Aunt Zhen suddenly said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will be able to master that set of swordsmanship to great perfection in another year. There will be no problem in entering the Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy, and I won't let my grandfather down." The girl looked confident.
The woman nodded when she heard this and looked at her daughter with eyes full of love and pity.
…
In a manor ten miles away from Fengcheng, Shi Mu stood on a flat square surrounded by houses. After looking around, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
This manor covers an area of four to five acres and has more than 20 rooms. He was even more surprised by the size of the square.
After turning his eyes, he landed on the seventeen-eighth male and female servants and tenants standing in front of him, and immediately asked:
"Who was responsible for taking care of this Zhuangzi and the nearby fields in the past?"
"Master Shi, I am in charge." A middle-aged man with gray hair and relatively clean clothes stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"What's your name? Are you a local?" Shi Mu looked at the middle-aged man and saw that his face seemed honest and honest, so he asked slowly.
"The younger one's name is Zhang Suo, and he has been settled in Fengcheng for seven or eight generations." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"Very good, the manor and the nearby fields will be left to you to take care of. The work of other people and the rent of the fields will remain unchanged. In addition, you inform the restaurant owner to meet me here tomorrow." After Shi Mu thought for a moment, he quickly gave instructions.
road.
"Yes, young master." Zhang Suo was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly agreed.
Seeing this, other servants and tenants also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in agreement.
"Guanshi Cheng, is it okay for me to do this?" After everyone left the square, Shi Mu turned to the old man in green shirt next to him and asked.
"Young Master Shi handled the matter very well and neatly! To be honest, it's hard for me to believe that Young Master Shi really just came from a fishing village." The old man in blue shirt replied with a smile.
"I'm a little surprised myself, but it feels good to be able to order people to do things. In addition, there is another thing I want to entrust to the steward." Shi Mu said sheepishly.
"Oh, if there's anything you need, Master Shi can just give you orders. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." The old man in green shirt was a little surprised, but agreed without thinking.
"It's like this. I want to invite a truly powerful martial arts instructor to come to the manor to give me one-on-one guidance on my practice. I wonder if Manager Cheng can recommend anyone."
"Oh, if we talk about martial arts schools, the four major martial arts schools in Fengcheng are all quite famous, and most of the instructors there have special skills. But I don't know what type of martial arts Master Shi wants to learn." The old man in green shirt asked after thinking for a while.
"I once chopped firewood in the village and felt that I was quite comfortable with the knife. I also wanted to learn another set of boxing skills."
"For swordsmanship and boxing, I recommend you choose Li Canghai, the instructor of Liufeng Martial Arts School. His set of Fengchi Thirteen Styles of Swordsmanship and Stone-Breaking Fist are very famous. However, for one-on-one instruction, this person's fee is not low.
"Yes." After hearing this, the old man in green shirt just pondered for a moment and then said slowly.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you are really capable, spending more money is nothing." Shi Mu now has three thousand taels of silver in his possession, which makes him richer.
"Okay, then I will help you ask Coach Li to come over tomorrow." Seeing this, the old man in green shirt agreed with a smile.
