Chapter 104: Harvest, Tips (Two-in-one chapter, please subscribe)
Have a safe trip.
The group finally arrived at Qianjia Village before it got completely dark.
Shopkeeper Xu Zhisheng, who had been prepared, immediately called out orders and started lighting the fire to cook.
After eating and drinking, an hour had passed.
Chen Yushu was arranged to live in a villager's home. Although it was a little inconvenient, the conditions in the countryside village were simple, so he had no choice.
Fortunately, it is a private room with good privacy.
"It's finally over!"
Chen Yushu sat cross-legged at the head of the bed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xiaoyin was squatting in a corner of the room, fiddling with the stones, which were the Yin Bone Jade. This thing was condensed by evil spirits and ghosts. Of course, the probability was extremely low. Perhaps among dozens of them, it would be difficult for only one to be condensed.
In addition to the one in the cave of resentful ghosts, Xiaoyin has four more in her hands. One can imagine how many evil ghosts have died at the hands of Sister Qiaoer before.
It is definitely not a small amount.
“But it’s true.
Whether it's the Fu Yin Jue, the Seven Star Steps, or the Hua Sha Jue, these three 'spells' only gain the most experience points in real combat, when facing real evil spirits and fierce ghosts."
Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
For example, the Fu Yin Jue.
He remembered that when he went up the mountain, he was only at the minor success level. Although his experience points were not low, he still had nearly half the experience points to reach the major success level.
However, when he faced the evil ghost lady, he used the Fu Yin Jue and achieved great success.
It is precisely because of this that we were able to crush it in one fell swoop.
In addition to the Fu Yin Jue, the realms of the Seven Star Steps and the Hua Sha Jue were also directly improved.
Seven Star Steps: Mastery (169/200)
Evil-eliminating Technique: Mastery (152/200)
They are all close to completing their experience and reaching the next level, which is the level of minor success.
"Sure enough, there is a huge difference between practice and use.
Practice only mechanically increases experience, but when truly applying the 'art' to combat, all aspects are considered. Although the method of execution is the same, the experience gained is far greater than during practice."
Chen Yushu sighed, and then began to practice these techniques in the room.
Seven Star Steps +1
Elimination Technique +1
Fu Yin Jue +1
…
Three techniques, practiced in turns.
Although the experience gained each time he performed it was limited, he did not mind it.
He enjoyed the feeling of being able to improve through practice immensely, not to mention that this slowness was only relative.
Compared to others, his improvement speed is already very fast.
Chen Yushu stopped only when all the energy in his body was used up.
Then he took out a black bead.
Soul bead!
These were the two he had obtained from the Ghost Cave during this trip.
"One soul bead can increase my incense cultivation by more than thirty points.
Now that I have two in my hand, if I absorb all of them, I should be able to push my incense cultivation to the perfection of one incense stick, and reach the level of two incense sticks, right?"
A hint of excitement and anticipation appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
He knew that this soul bead was actually relatively rare.
After all, evil spirits are hard to find and the key is difficult to deal with.
Ordinary people, even warriors at the internal force realm, would find it difficult to face such beings, because they cannot see them and are inherently at a disadvantage.
As for the ghosts, although Chen Yushu attacked one after another, except for the two evil ghosts, he relied on external forces.
The first time, Taoist Master Ma of the Three Incense Sticks Taoist School and the shopkeeper and others took action, constantly wearing away the opponent's strength, which allowed him to use the talisman and achieve success in one fell swoop.
This time, he also took advantage of the other party's attempt to deceive his trust with "ghost talk", but he saw through it. Then he took the initiative and used all his means and consumed a lot of talismans before he was able to capture the evil ghost.
It's really hard to say if you really fight it face to face.
Not to mention, not every evil ghost will have a soul bead left after being eliminated.
This can be seen from the fact that he only got two soul beads out of the four evil ghosts in the Ghost Cave.
Then, he looked at his attribute panel.
Immortal cultivation level: One stick of incense (42/100)
“This kind of cultivation is indeed a bit weak.
After all, the higher the level of Taoism, the more powerful the same method will be.
For example, the power of the Fu Yin Jue is very different when he performs it when his Taoism is at a lower level and when he performs it now that his Taoism has reached the middle level of an incense stick.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to improve your own strength as much as possible."
Thinking of this, Chen Yushu didn't hesitate at all and quickly entered into a state of meditation.
Then, with a thought, he connected his mental power to the soul bead in his hand and sucked it hard.
Countless spiritual particles were drawn out by him and were quickly absorbed and transformed by him.
The state of meditation at the great level allowed him to absorb and transform spiritual particles at the same time, the more and faster.
Incense +1
Incense +1
…
He stopped only when he felt his mind was becoming a little restless and he could no longer maintain his concentration.
Because he knew that this was because he had absorbed too many spiritual particles in a short period of time, so that his mind could not be controlled and was affected.
If you continue to absorb it forcibly, you may be shocked and affected, and thus be affected by the resentment, evil spirit, obsession... contained in these spiritual particles, and your temperament will change drastically.
The balance in between must be grasped well.
Fortunately, Chen Yushu’s state of meditation is indeed extremely high.
Dading! Dading!
The obsession of ordinary evil spirits cannot affect him.
At least, when it absorbed the spiritual particles within the soul orb, he never felt any other emotions.
It was absorbed and assimilated in the blink of an eye, without causing even the slightest ripple in his calm heart.
in this way.
After resting for a while, Chen Yushu entered into meditation again and began to formally practice the White Tiger Visualization Method.
White Tiger Visualization Method +5
Incense +1
…
While Chen Yushu and others were resting in Qianjia Village, there was a sudden bang on a small hill in the extremely dark place in the Ghost Cave, and then a hand stretched out.
Then the next moment, there was a second hand.
This hand was extremely pale, with only the long fingernails being jet black.
The two hands stretched out from the mound, as if sensing something.
After a long time, there was a loud bang, and an extremely tall figure in groom's clothes jumped out directly from the mound.
It stood there, as if searching for something, turning its body constantly, and then jumped rapidly in the woods.
Suddenly, it stopped abruptly and stopped beside a shabby sedan chair, and a sharp whistle suddenly came out of its mouth.
As the howl sounded, all creatures within a radius of dozens of miles were disturbed, and the entire forest suddenly fell into silence.
Even the birds flying in the sky did not dare to make a sound when they fled.
…
Early the next morning.
Chen Yushu woke up from his cultivation and looked at the attribute panel.
Immortal cultivation level: One stick of incense (53/100)
Absorbing the soul beads increased his power by nine points, which was equivalent to a night of practice. He also gained two points of incense and Taoism.
The efficiency is really good.
Then, he got up and was about to go out. The auntie who lived next door had already gotten up and was boiling water and cooking. Seeing him, she hurriedly greeted him, "Little brother, you're up. Wait a minute. I have cooked porridge and steamed rice. Please have some later."
"You're welcome, Auntie. Shopkeeper Xu should have prepared breakfast. I can eat there later."
Chen Yushu waved his hand and said.
"You're welcome.
Our entire Qianjia Village almost relies on your Liujia Pharmacy for its survival.
The yam and other medicinal herbs in this dish are all sent to your pharmacy.
This is nothing to prepare some food for you."
The auntie spoke loudly, with a look of enthusiasm on her face.
At this time, the eldest brother of this family also came out and said with a smile: "Little brother, just eat something casually. It's not something special, but it's just a token of my appreciation."
Chen Yushu took the opportunity to look at the processed chicken and duck placed in the basin, and the bacon that the aunt had cut on the chopping board, which was placed in a bowl. The portion was quite large.
Is this just for casual eating?
For ordinary villagers, such a meal may not be available even during the Chinese New Year, and it is only when entertaining distinguished guests that they will spend so much effort to prepare it.
To prepare all this so early in the morning, and to invite him so warmly...
Chen Yushu was silent for a while before he said, "Uncle, aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell me.
Even if you guys make it, I wouldn't dare eat it."
"this……"
The two looked at each other.
Then the uncle turned to a kid in the room who was a few years younger than Chen Yushu and said, "It's like this, I've wanted to learn martial arts since I was a kid.
So we also thought about sending him to your pharmacy as an apprentice."
Chen Yushu nodded without saying anything.
"but.
Your pharmacy is recruiting apprentices and needs a precious medicine.
But precious medicine is hard to find.
Even on our Tianyuan Mountain, not everyone can collect precious medicines.
It’s considered good if we can have two plants a year.
Sometimes there is only one plant in a year.
But how many people are there collecting herbs in the whole village?
There are dozens of them.
Although we have always wanted to send Xiaobao to the pharmacy, we have never been able to do so due to the lack of precious medicine."
“But it’s no use looking for me.
This is the rule of the Liu Family Pharmacy, I can't change it."
Chen Yushu shook his head and said.
"We heard that the young man is the apprentice of the town's shopkeeper Su. Perhaps he can have some influence?"
The aunt quickly spoke carefully.
Chen Yushu frowned, shook his head and said, "I've already said that this is the rule from above, even if my master comes, it may not be changed.
If you really want to find her, look for the third young lady who lives in the pharmacy. She is from the county and a true member of the Liu family."
Chen Yushu sold Liu Qingyan without any psychological burden.
"That Third Miss is such a person, how can we possibly get close to her?
Otherwise, we heard that you entered the back of Tianyuan Mountain this time and entered the Cave of Resentful Ghosts... We in Qianjia Village never dare to set foot there, and I think there must be a lot of precious medicines there.
I wonder if my little brother has also gained anything. We have money and can buy it directly from you.
Don't worry, we will never let you suffer any loss. We will offer you the price you deserve.
All we want is a spot in the pharmacy."
The uncle spoke quickly.
"Well, let me introduce someone to you, and you can go and discuss it with him.
I won't interfere.
If he says it can be done, then it can be done. If not, then there is nothing I can do."
Chen Yushu was silent for a moment. He had just stayed in someone else's house for a night, so it was not easy for him to refuse directly. However, he remembered that Qian Qian was from Qianjia Village, and they had indeed dug up some precious medicine in the mountains, and not just one.
These precious medicines are all unique to them.
The Liu family pharmacy, including Liu Qingyan and others, cannot accept it.
This was the extra income that they all agreed to before going up the mountain.
He didn't know the exact price of this precious medicine, so it would be better to hand it over to Qian Qian, an old hand, who was from Qianjia Village and had some say.
So soon, he called Qian Qian over.
It only took a stick of incense to negotiate a price that satisfied both parties.
“For thirty-eight taels of silver, I gave them the precious ginseng seeds.
Our pharmacy's purchase price for this precious medicinal ginseng is only thirty-five taels of silver. The extra three taels of silver is just a small gift for our help.
Exactly nineteen taels of silver per person.
In addition to this precious medicine ginseng, there are some other medicinal materials and powerful medicines. I just found Manager Xu and had him estimate their value. They are also worth sixty-six taels of silver.
Next, we have two precious medicinal herbs left.
A blackleaf grass and a Tenglong grass.
Among them, the blackleaf grass is worth 45 taels of silver, and the purchase price of Tenglong grass in our medicine shop is only 35 taels.
But I know that some masters are in urgent need of this thing.
If everything goes well, selling it for double the price, sixty or seventy taels of silver, shouldn't be a problem."
Qian Qian quickly began to settle accounts with Chen Yushu.
The two of them picked a lot of medicinal herbs, including powerful medicines and precious medicines in the cave of resentful ghosts.
If he hadn't been completely full and hadn't taken away some of the less valuable common herbs, he should have been able to earn another 10 or 20 taels of silver.
After Qian Qian's calculation, Chen Yushu unexpectedly discovered that this time both of them could get more than one hundred taels of silver.
"I'll leave all of this to you."
Chen Yushu nodded and said quickly.
“Don’t worry about that.
However, we will divide this money first.
Thirty-eight plus sixty-six equals one hundred and four, which is exactly fifty-two taels of silver for each of us.
As for the remaining two precious herbs, I will find a good buyer when I get to town.
Try to sell it at a high price and then split the profits later."
Qian Qian said this, his face full of excitement.
This amount can indeed be considered a pleasant surprise.
Thinking of the silver that was about to go into his pocket, he suddenly felt that this trip was really worthwhile.
Chen Yushu was also satisfied.
Although he has earned a lot of money by selling talismans, who would think that he has too much money?
Not to mention, in addition to these precious medicines, he had other gains before this.
Eight taels of silver, five taels of gold, plus a red cloud Ganoderma lucidum with three leaves.
That Red Cloud Ganoderma Lucidum was his unique property, and its actual value was at least over one hundred taels of silver.
certainly.
He had his own plans for this precious medicine and had no intention of selling it.
In martial arts practice, the most important thing is qi and blood.
If you eat well and have abundant qi and blood, it will be easier to achieve results.
Talent and the like are only effective for geniuses.
In fact, resources are often enough to bridge the gap between ordinary geniuses and mediocre people.
Of course, if you are a genius and have sufficient resources, you can naturally surpass people with mediocre qualifications quickly and rise to the top.
And this kind of people are called geniuses.
Chen Yushu does not consider himself a genius.
One of the reasons why he was noticed by Manager Su was his attribute panel, which enabled him to quickly learn the Medicine King Posture, become proficient in it, and even achieve some success.
The second is the state of reading.
The fourth level of reading, the state of mind that enlightens the mind, not only allows him to remember everything he sees, but also allows him to deeply learn and understand everything related to martial arts.
That's why he is considered a genius.
But he knew that his talent was growth-oriented and would continue to improve as his reading level improved.
It's very different from others who are geniuses from the beginning.
After all, Chen Yushu did not have breakfast at that family's house. Instead, he ate with everyone in the drugstore. Then the group rushed to Jianghuan Town without stopping.
It was already afternoon when we arrived.
After lunch, Chen Yushu went to the second floor of the pharmacy and met his master, the shopkeeper Su Mingsu.
"This time, it went smoothly."
Su Ming had greeted them at the door before, but of course the main people to greet them were the Third Miss Liu Qingyan and the old doctor Liu Hexuan, so he naturally had no time to care about his own apprentice.
When they met alone, he began to ask questions.
“It went smoothly.
I also gained a lot of knowledge.”
Chen Yushu nodded and then briefly explained his experience of the trip.
Hearing this, Su Ming nodded. He had naturally heard about the role Chen Yushu played in this operation.
Although he mainly used the methods of sneaking around and did not display much martial arts, as his disciple, he was naturally very happy to be praised by others.
“Although you have made some progress in your sneak attack skills, don’t neglect your martial arts training.
I don't want people to mention my apprentice first and foremost about your ability to kill ghosts."
Su Ming looked at Chen Yushu and said with an appropriate knock.
“The disciple knows.
I will not give up martial arts."
Chen Yushu nodded quickly and said.
“Just remember it.
By the way, you should be careful when you go out these two days.
There are a lot more people from the underworld in the town recently, including both martial artists and ghost walkers like you.
Be careful, there are people here who are mermaids, don't get tricked."
Immediately afterwards, Shopkeeper Su quickly reminded.
“I just noticed on the road that there are a lot more people.
Why are these people here?"
Chen Yushu asked quickly.
“It’s okay to tell you about this.
You also experienced the last incident. The bandits in Shuiliangou opened a mechanism, which attracted many ghosts and spirits.
And according to our speculation, there should be a large tomb underneath, the tomb of a great martial artist.
And as the news spread, more and more rumors began to circulate.
Some people say that this is the tomb of King Pinghai, the pirate leader from a hundred years ago.
Hidden inside were the gold, silver, and jewelry he had looted over the years. In addition, it was very likely that it also contained his martial arts inheritance and secret manuals of cultivation... As a result, Jianghuan Town suddenly became lively, and of course all kinds of fights and brawls were inevitable.
Just yesterday, a guy named Zhao Kunpeng went straight to the Changfeng Martial Arts School to challenge them, and the result was..."
Shopkeeper Su couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke.
"How about it?"
Chen Yushu asked curiously.
“He was carried out.
He is still receiving treatment in the lobby downstairs."
Shopkeeper Su continued.
"ah?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
I thought that anyone who dared to challenge the master would at least have good martial arts skills, but in the end he was severely beaten up.
"Do you think it's so easy to kick a team?
Without one or two warriors above the internal strength level to take charge, you dare not open a martial arts school.
This person's strength is not weak, and his internal cultivation is perfect. He probably challenges in order to use the pressure to break through.
But, how could it be so easy to deal with the attack of a warrior in the inner force realm?
If it weren't for the kindness of Old Chang from Changfeng Martial Arts School who withdrew at the critical moment, he would not have been able to withstand Old Chang's heart-stimulating palm strike with his skills.
After all, it was he who proposed the challenge, so even if Old Chang beat him to death, no one would dare to say a word.
Shopkeeper Su waved his hand and said.
Chen Yushu nodded. A warrior in the realm of internal force can often hurt people invisibly. Even if the person looks fine on the outside, once the internal force is injected, the person can be seriously injured or even killed.
Then, Chen Yushu did not stay on the second floor for long. He went downstairs directly and looked in the direction of the bed. There was a middle-aged warrior screaming in pain and struggling violently. From Chen Yushu's point of view, this man not only had multiple fractures and strains all over his body, but also had at least four or five hidden injuries. His injuries were very serious.
Obviously, this person is Zhao Kunpeng that the master just mentioned.
Chen Yushu took a look and didn't pay much attention to it. He strode out of the pharmacy.
While it was still early, he naturally planned to resume his previous reading habits and rush to Ningjing Academy.
However, before going to the academy, Chen Yushu went back home first and collected the gold, silver and other items, as well as the precious medicine Red Cloud Ganoderma.
Then, he began to carefully check his room inside and out. After confirming that it had not been visited by strong men, he rushed towards Ningjing Academy from the backyard.
