Chapter 17 17: Settlement of accounts, the appearance of perfection
Fan Tiehu is not as good as Yi Huai in terms of talent, and not as good as Xu Cheng in terms of understanding, but he has two qualities that make Chu Zhou look at him with admiration.
First, he was born with strong muscles and a tall body. Even before practicing martial arts, he could easily carry a hundred kilograms of weight.
Please note that he is only fourteen years old, and his physique is no less than that of an ordinary adult.
But that's nothing, the most important thing is his character.
Perhaps he has a father-like personality. Although he is not good at words, he is tough and conscientious in his work. He almost always carries out Chu Zhou's instructions without compromise.
It seemed as if physical fatigue and pain were nothing to him.
When he started practicing martial arts, he wasn't very impressive at first. He just followed it in a strict manner, but after he got on the right track, the benefits started to show.
Xu Cheng trained for one hour, but he could last for two hours.
After Yi Huai drained his energy and his muscles became sore, he lay on the ground and refused to move, but he was still able to complete the set training plan to the letter.
His growth is progress one step at a time, steady progress, and every bit of effort is rewarded.
Three months was naturally not enough, but Chu Zhou could clearly feel his progress.
And at this speed, in three months, he will be ready to start, master his Qi and blood, condense his strength, and become a warrior.
Don't think this speed is too slow. Compared with Chu Zhou, it is nothing.
But if you put it in the Baisha City Martial Arts School and become a martial artist in six months, even if you have enough resources, you can be called a 'genius'.
Take Wei Fangjie as an example. With his father's words and deeds, he took various medicinal baths since he was a child. However, when he really started practicing martial arts, it took him nine months to become a martial artist.
And this is enough for him to brag about everywhere.
Of course, there are also shortcomings. The biggest problem is that he is not very literate. He has attended private school, but it only lasted a year.
However, this can be learned, and Chu Zhou naturally did not have time to teach it, so Xu Cheng took over the task.
With his thoughts flying, Chu Zhou measured the cultivation progress of his three junior brothers. He also kept giving instructions without stopping, until he guided them into the cultivation state completely, then he tilted his head slightly and looked away.
This house used to belong to Xuanzhen Lao Dao, so it is the best house in Xuanzhen Temple, not only because of its layout, but also because of its large area.
When Chu Zhou moved in, there were many changes, such as this extra-large wooden barrel used for medicinal baths.
Another example is the long table placed next to the barrel.
At this time, there were a lot of papers scattered on the table, and what was on top was a bound secret book.
That's right, this is the second-optimized version of "The Furious Dragon: The River's Hand". According to the previous life, it's the "The Furious Dragon: The River's Hand" version 2.0.
I guess even the creator of "The Furious Dragon" would only find it specious after reading it.
Of course, according to this world's rating, he is still a mid-level martial artist, because the upper limit is there, and practicing Zang to perfection is already the limit.
But in the body tempering process, this martial art has escaped from the cage, far surpassing Tongji.
In other words, this will also be the most important foundational martial arts of Xuanzhen Guan.
[Establishing a Sect] The content of this task is very vague, but if you think about it, you have to establish a complete sect.
As for the sect, the most important thing is not the sphere of influence, nor the disciples, but a complete inheritance system that can be used!
Although the upper limit of "The Raging Dragon Turns the River Hand" is not high, training the internal organs is the limit, and there is no part of the Tongmai realm, but in Baisha City, it is enough for a small sect.
As for what’s behind?
Let’s talk about it later!
This is a world of martial arts, what else can it do without martial arts?
Besides, he also has the Fairyland game, and now, he is looking forward to this game.
Of course, now that the technique is available, the next step is how to make Xuanzhen Temple famous?
Kill the Xue Mansion directly and destroy the Xue Mansion?
It's not that it can't be done. Chu Zhou doesn't like killing people, but he is full of malice towards the head of the Xue family who has the habit of Long Yang.
But that one has taken the title of county magistrate anyway. If he is really desperate and attracts the attention of the court or other sects, it will not be fun!
Thinking like this, Chu Zhou couldn't help but sigh, and even pretended to sigh.
"The knife has been sharpened, but you don't know where the enemy's head is?"
Okay, this is Chu Zhou being pretentious!
But it can also be seen that after becoming successful in martial arts in March, his mentality has changed drastically.
……
Time flies, and more than a month passes quietly.
During this month, Chu Zhou celebrated the most important festival in this world - the New Year's Day.
Many tenant farmers brought their families to Xuanzhenguan to pay New Year greetings. The property of the land deed has changed, but the ownership rights are still in Xuanzhenguan, which has not changed.
Of course, it is indispensable for the shopkeeper to lead the waiters here to say hello to him.
To be honest, he was only eighteen years old. Seeing a group of elderly people in their fifties and sixties kneeling down to salute him, he just felt uncomfortable everywhere.
However, this is also a rule. He is not used to it, but he has to learn to get used to it.
Then, following the custom of previous years, he held a feast, left everyone to have a good meal, and gave red envelopes to all the children.
Later, he took his three junior brothers to Baisha City, bought a lot of gifts, and visited Wei Jinkui.
Should I say it or not, although it was just a transaction, after getting along for such a long time, the relationship between the two parties has become much closer.
The 'uncle' and 'nephew' yelled, no longer awkward as before, and Wei Fangjie also led them around Baisha City. During the Chinese New Year, Baisha City was much more lively. The pedestrians coming and going dispersed the coldness of winter and even added a bit of liveliness to Baisha City.
It was also here that Wei Fangjie told him another thing.
Years later, Wei Jinkui will take his wife, children, and children to Husha Pavilion in Tianquan County.
This is not a requirement of Husha Pavilion, but it is a habit that inner disciples will gather at Husha Mountain after the New Year.
Whether it is to celebrate the sect or to connect with each other, in short, the relationship between the disciples of Husha Pavilion is relatively close, and this habit plays a big role.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Chu Zhou, but with him - Wei Jinkui will be away from Baisha City for about ten days to a month.
During this period, Xuanzhen Guan needs to be more vigilant!
Of course, having said that, Wei Fangjie doesn't think this is a big deal, because he doesn't think the forces headed by Xue Mansion dare to have any evil intentions!
They were just leaving temporarily, they were not dead, and the Iron Spear Martial Arts School was not in such a bad mood.
If it really comes to that, Wei Jinkui will definitely go crazy.
Well, Wei Fangjie didn't care, and Chu Zhou actually didn't care much either.
It's not that he overestimates the integrity of the Xue family, it's just that he is simply confident. After three days apart, he should look at each other with admiration.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
So, this was just a passing conversation.
After the Chinese New Year, the weather quickly became warmer, a spring rain fell softly, and the world seemed to have thawed.
The fields became muddy, and when the warm wind blew, young shoots sprouted from the earth.
At this time, Xuanzhen Temple was in the study.
Chu Zhou, who had just finished practicing martial arts, casually took off his large Taoist robe and threw it aside. Then he walked shirtless to the desk and casually looked through the account books.
Well, even though he knew it well, Chu Zhou couldn't help but take a breath after just turning a few pages.
This account was recorded by Xu Cheng. It was not Xuan Zhen Guan's daily expenditure and income, but the various expenditures of their brothers and sisters since they started practicing martial arts four months ago.
From the beginning, there was only the Qi and Blood Nourishing Decoction, to the Strengthening Muscles and Bone Pills, medicinal baths, and various equipment for physical exercise.
For example, wooden dummies, stone locks of various weights, and a set of weapons including swords, guns, swords and halberds.
After four months, the total expenditure exceeded 480 taels of silver.
Among them, at least two-thirds were consumed by Chu Zhou.
Those decoctions, pills, and medicated baths were all prepared by Xuanzhen Guan himself at cost price, but the consumption of various medicinal materials was still not discounted.
The income of the entire Xuanzhen Temple is only one inn and two grain shops, with a surplus of about one hundred taels.
There is no way, in winter, the income of the grain shop is enough to ensure, but there are not many people in the inn, and the income is slightly reduced.
In other words, in four months, Xuanzhen Guan's balance was negative three hundred and eighty taels.
In the underground secret room, there was some scattered silver left, but only three of the five gold bars were left.
And this is the cost of practicing martial arts!
At this point, Xuanzhen Temple only supported the four of them. Chu Zhou really couldn't imagine how much it would cost if he really opened a sect.
However, it's all worth it.
After closing the account book in his hand, Chu Zhou stood up, stood in the empty space of the room, and took another long breath.
Jumping, jumping, jumping...
A crisp sound came, just like the sound of a bowstring, crisp and distant.
Looking at Chu Zhou's body again, on the exposed skin, a big tendon bounces up from time to time, making the muscles sometimes loose and sometimes tight.
But it wasn't over yet. The sound was getting louder and denser, and it was already like a hundred men drawing their bows and releasing arrows.
Looking at Chu Zhou again, the muscles all over his body were bulging out. They were swollen and loosened, and they were connected together like a cage, locking the strength of his whole body tightly.
This is the perfect phase of muscle training, and it also has a name, it is called "the muscles are like thunderbolts and strings"!
After another moment, Chu Zhou let out a long sigh of relief, and all the muscles in his body calmed down. Then he suddenly inhaled, and the muscles in his body bulged, swelling, congested, and protruding in layers.
Originally, Chu Zhou's body was not very generous, but within a moment, the muscles bulged out, showing clear outlines.
In the blink of an eye, he has gone from a skinny boy to a muscular man,
Visible power surged within his body, and it seemed that every move he made could cause waves of energy to explode.
This is the sign of perfect meat training, also known as, the strength can drag nine oxen backwards!
After exhaling for the third time, Chu Zhou's energy and blood subsided and his strength returned. After his swollen muscles returned to normal, he took another long breath.
This time, with just one breath, Chu Zhou's body expanded again.
But that's not a bulging of the muscles, but a tightening of the skin.
All the pores seemed to be closed, appearing tighter and tighter, and the diaphragms under the skin were bulging, and the appearance seemed to be glowing with a faint golden iron color.
Just by looking at it, it feels indestructible.
This is the sign of perfect skin training, also known as, the body is as indestructible as a vajra!
