Chapter 12: Evil ways
In the corner of the martial arts training ground, there was a place with a strong smell of medicine. The third senior brother Niu Biao used an iron pole to stir the pot. When a disciple came, he would scoop out a deep or shallow ladle for the disciple, depending on the situation.
Bowl of soup.
This soup is called Xiaowan Tang. It is made from ginseng, tiger bones, astragalus and many rare fish bones from deep lakes. Drinking it can greatly replenish qi and blood.
Chen Yi stood behind the team and observed, and saw a disciple wearing martial arts uniforms coming forward. The third senior brother scooped a bowl under the pot. The man thanked him and drank it on the spot.
When someone came to pay money to buy soup on the spot, the third senior brother scooped a bowl of it on the surface of the soup. The disciple didn't dare to be picky and drank it too.
When it was Chen Yi's turn, he took out the last taels of silver he got from Legging Liu and handed it over and said:
"Third Senior Brother, I'll buy a bowl of soup."
"Huh? You're new here. I've never seen you before." Third senior brother Niu Biao stopped by the pot and looked at Chen Yi doubtfully.
"Well, Third Senior Brother, I stood here two months ago, and now I have just gained some energy and come here to learn boxing. I wonder if Third Senior Brother can sell me the decoction this time?"
Niu Biao stared at Chen Yi carefully for a few times, and then said calmly:
"Oh, are you the fisherman boy who offended Liu Zi?
That’s not right, you actually succeeded in controlling Qi and blood without drinking the decoction for two months?!"
The third senior brother was suddenly surprised and looked at Chen Yi up and down, as if he had discovered some great genius.
Then, he rolled his eyes, seemed to have thought of something, and quickly smiled and said:
"Junior brother, don't worry about what happened before. That scoundrel Liu is from the gang. I don't want to sell you the decoction because of my dignity.
Now that he is dead and no one in the gang will cause trouble for you, you can naturally buy this decoction."
As he spoke, Niu Biao took out a long ladle and took a deep scoop under the soup, and then said to Chen Yi with a flattering smile:
"Congratulations to Junior Brother for grasping Qi and Blood so quickly. With Junior Brother's talent, it is still unknown whether he will achieve Dark Energy in the future. A martial arts genius like you should take a good rest!
Hehe, junior brother, you practice first, and then senior brother will add ingredients to the decoction for you!
When you succeed in cultivation, senior brother will introduce you to join the Yulong Gang, and then we will live the life of a master together, and it will be extremely enjoyable to keep you!"
His bowl of thick soup with dregs of medicine can equal the effect of two bowls of other people's. This is a treatment that only a few formal disciples of the owner of the hall can get. Niu Biao's intention is to win over Chen Yi.
Chen Yi shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. Joining a gang is a big deal, let me think about it."
At this moment, Yunhu suddenly came over and asked for the decoction. Seeing Chen Yi there, he asked again:
"Junior Brother Chen, where did you pick up the big fish Fukasawa you mentioned? Half of it will allow you to touch the realm of Qi and Blood. If I can pick up half of it, wouldn't I be able to reach the iron level directly?!"
Chen Yi was very helpless. Ever since he told about the big fish, Senior Brother Yunhu has been asking questions non-stop.
Chen Yi could only make up nonsense, such as Shenzhen, big waves, giant beasts, fish heads as big as half a man, etc., which made Brother Yunhu yearn for it very much.
This is another question.
As a result, Niu Biao on the side suddenly reacted:
"Hey, what's the matter? Junior Brother Chen only got the energy and blood after eating a big fish in the deep swamp?"
Chen Yi nodded yes.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier."
Niu Biao shook his hand and poured the rich soup with medicinal dregs into the pot. Then he scooped another ladle on the surface of the soup and poured it into Chen Yi's bowl. He said expressionlessly:
"Next."
Chen Yi looked at the clear soup in his bowl and was a little confused: "What about joining a gang?"
"What gang do you want to join? Our Yulong Gang doesn't care for trash, go ahead!"
Chen Yi was stunned: Is this so realistic...
But it doesn't matter to him, he has never thought about joining any gang or force.
I just want to keep a low profile and practice martial arts in the two worlds, upgrade, and protect the stability and health of my family.
Beside the wall, Chen Yi took Xiaowantang and drank it in one gulp. He felt a warm current rising from his stomach and slowly extending to his organs.
Chen Yi quickly performed Zhuang Gong to move Qi and blood to absorb the power of the medicine.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Yi felt the heat in his body slowly disappear, and he understood that the medicine had exhausted its power.
I opened my eyes and felt it for a moment, and my blood and vitality probably increased a little.
This medicine is indeed useful, but its effect is limited. It is probably similar to a few pieces of meat from a twenty-pound fish in the spiritual world.
This is a feeling of quantity. Chen Yi also feels that in terms of quality, the elixirs here are far inferior to the big fish in the spiritual world.
It seems that the energy levels of the two worlds are fundamentally different.
So this medicine is just that, you should go over there to breathe the spiritual energy and catch fish to upgrade.
Speaking of fishing, the fishing nets and harpoons over there are broken, so it’s time to go ashore to the Kuangkuang Market.
......
After practicing the exercises, Chen Yi returned home and prepared to take a short rest, so he went to the market of Reiki World to have a look. Now he has grasped the energy and blood, and has nearly three hundred kilograms of strength in one arm.
Although he has not yet practiced Jin Ruyi, after understanding these days, his current strength is already basic enough for ordinary people in the spiritual world to protect themselves.
After all, it’s not that easy to encounter monks and body refiners.
At home, Chen Yi hid all the rice and noodles he bought from selling fish during this period in the cellar. He just counted more than 100 kilograms of grain each, which is enough to last for a while.
Chen Yi came up from the cellar and moved a large stone weighing nearly 200 kilograms to cover the entrance of the cellar. He was about to check and go to another world if no one was there.
At this time,
Bang bang!
There was a knock on the door.
"Ayi, please stay at home. I'll watch you come back at the entrance of the village."
Village chief Wang Dachui? What is he here for? Isn’t his son Wang Xiaochui running errands and doing odd jobs at the Yulong Gang? He shouldn’t be short of food and come here to borrow money, right?
Chen Yi's family has lived in this village for more than ten years, but they are just acquaintances with the people in the village.
Chen Yi turned around and checked. The room was empty and there was nothing to worry about, so he opened the door and said with a smile:
"Uncle Wang, why are you here?"
"Ayi, what a good boy, you have grown up and gained a lot of abilities! I remember I hugged you when you were just born~"
The village chief who looked like a little old man was a little emotional.
Chen Yi was unmoved. He hugged me when I was just born, so we didn’t have any friendship with each other for so many years?
"Uncle Wang, if you have something to say, just tell me."
"That's right, A Yi, I heard that these days you can always catch big fish weighing more than five kilograms and sell them at the market? Sometimes there are even ten kilograms?!" Wang Dachui glanced at him as he spoke.
Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was shocked. It turned out to be this. Is it too high-profile to sell ten kilograms of big fish? Now he is being targeted.
Now with my strength, it is not a problem to stabilize the sale of this ten-pound fish. If there are other high-end fish products in the future, I will have to disguise myself, at least I can't let anyone come to my door.
Wealth should not be revealed in vain.
"Ah, you said this, I was lucky enough to catch a few. Uncle Wang is short of money? I still have some sorghum noodles at home. If you don't mind, I can give you a pound?"
"No, no, no, Ayi, you misunderstood, I'm not here to borrow food.
That’s right, food prices have been rising recently, and the commission for selling fish at the market has also risen to 40%, right?
Isn’t my boy helping out in a gang? There is such a way, which can help you reduce the commission for selling big fish to 10%. Then you can sell a fish for a few more big copper coins, do you think?”
