Chapter 13: Herb Picking and Standing



In the afternoon, dusk gradually fell.

"Take your badge and your shirt. If your shirt is damaged, you can replace it. Are you guys together? Then go to the T-shaped training ground and find Master Fuwu."

"Thank you very much."

Li Qinglin, Donkey Face and Ruan Qi took the things handed over by the guards of the parade ground, looked excited, and rushed to the T-shaped parade ground without stopping.

The double-breasted shirt distributed at the parade ground is a top that reaches the knees. It is made of a decent material and is breathable and comfortable.

Donkey Face stroked his double-breasted shirt repeatedly and quickly put it on himself.

"Is this the kind of clothing that martial artists wear? It's much better than what I'm wearing. The master has treated me well!"

Li Qinglin felt helpless when he heard this.

The wool comes from the sheep. I wonder how many double-breasted shirts I can buy with twelve taels of silver.

There are a lot of people on the road.

Many tenants were similar to Li Qinglin and his companions. They had just finished their work and then rushed to the training ground.

Li Qinglin also put on a double-breasted shirt, and his temperament suddenly changed.

Recently, with the nourishment of the heart toad's qi and blood, Li Qinglin's figure has become much taller. At this moment, with the contrast of the double-breasted shirt, he has a more clean and neat charm.

Donkey Face and Ruan Qi looked at Li Qinglin again and again. They were so ignorant that they could only sigh, "He's really handsome x2"

Li Qinglin and the other two followed the instructions and found the T-shaped training ground.

Outside the parade ground stood a high wall and a pair of red gates that were tightly closed.

From behind the wall came the sound of whistling fists and heavy breathing.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Li Qinglin knocked lightly on the red door.

After a few breaths, a somewhat cold voice came from behind the door, speaking sparingly, "Push the door and come in."

Through the crack in the door, the spacious training ground came into view of Li Qinglin and the other two.

The parade ground is divided into two parts.

On one side is sandy land, which seems to be a place reserved for fighting.

On one side are placed weapon racks, futons, wooden stakes and other martial arts training equipment.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen people wearing double-breasted shirts in the training ground, both men and women, some standing still and some practicing sparring.

These people are basically maids and servants from the outer and inner courtyards.

"A new person?"

"What a pity, there are three more grown men."

"Phew, now I finally don't have to carry stones."

"I know it, I know it, I know this move!"

Seeing the red door pushed open, many people in the parade ground cast their eyes over.

Among them was a tall and broad man with a square appearance. He had a dazed look in his eyes and kept muttering something strange like "My way is complete" and "You can learn the empty and spiritual top strength just by doing this, then this, then that" and so on.

Not far from the man, a woman with braids and a pretty face, like a porcelain doll, slightly bent her knees, as if squatting or standing, with her hands clasped together, as if she was standing in a posture.

Li Qinglin's eyes quickly swept across everyone in the training ground, and finally stopped at the center, on a burly man in tight clothes.

This person is Master Fu Wu.

"Bring me the badge."

Master Fu Wu glanced at Li Qinglin and the other two. His eyes were cold and without much emotion.

Li Qinglin and the other two handed out their badges.

Master Fu Wu looked at the waist badges of Donkey Face and Ruan Qi, and finally when he saw Li Qinglin's waist badge, he paused and asked in surprise, "Who carved your martial arts badge?"

Li Qinglin did not hide anything and replied, "It's Yu Yuan, Manager Yu."

Master Fu Wu frowned, a little surprised, then looked at the badge carefully, then looked Li Qinglin up and down, as if he had guessed something.

"You actually went directly to Manager Yu. You are really brave."

The words were no longer cold, and there was a hint of appreciation in Master Fu Wu's tone.

Donkey Face hadn't reacted yet and was a little confused.

Ruan Qi, on the other hand, seemed to have realized something, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Master Fu Wu called out to everyone in the training ground, and most of them stopped what they were doing and gathered a few feet away from Master Fu Wu.

But Li Qinglin noticed that the man who was in the state of 'enlightenment' and the woman who was standing like a porcelain doll were still immersed in their own world and did not come forward.

Master Fu Wu didn't seem to care.

"For a warrior, it's all about spirit!"

"Lock the five gates of essence, tighten the membrane, strengthen the flesh, penetrate the bones, refine the marrow, and make the five internal organs round!"

“Only when the five internal organs are in perfect harmony and the spirit is full to an incredible level, can one nourish the spirit and achieve a state of trance!”

Master Fu Wu's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the ears of everyone present.

But Li Qinglin knew that Master Fu Wu was talking to the three newcomers.

"Let's not talk about nourishing the spirit for now. Once you have reached the level of tightening the skin membrane, you can be called a martial artist! From now on, you will be exempted from taxes, take off your white-clothed long gown, and be able to show your authority without worshipping. In my palace, you can also negotiate with the master to change your status as a slave to a guard. The monthly salary of ten taels is not a problem!"

It’s time for the familiar pie-in-the-sky part again.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The donkey-faced man standing next to Li Qinglin clenched his fists upon hearing this.

Ruan Qi also looked very excited.

After Master Fu Wu finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward and swung his left hand forward from behind his back.

'Crack! Crack!'

A series of sounds like firecrackers came out from Master Fu Wu's body.

With his blood and essence flowing, Master Fu Wu turned sideways and took a step forward. It seemed as if a mouse was crawling under his skin, approaching his fingertips as he walked.

Bang! There was a loud explosion on the training ground. Li Qinglin's mind went blank and he stood there in a daze. He didn't react for several breaths and his ears were buzzing.

"A sound is worth a thousand gold."

When everyone came back to their senses, Master Fu Wu said calmly,

"If you can make a sound, then you will be close to tightening your membrane, officially stepping into the essence-locking gate, and becoming a martial artist."

After showing off his power.

Master Fu Wu then began the formal teaching.

In the training ground outside Wang's house, the unified training method taught was called "Herb Collecting and Standing Posture Gong".

The method of standing still is derived from the health-preserving technique of cicada sleeping.

It is important to allow the essence and blood to stretch between movement and stillness to achieve the goal of strengthening the body.

As for collecting herbs, the human body is regarded as a great medicine.

As long as it is done properly, it can be endless.

A warrior must practice a certain training method to hone his Qi, blood, tendons and bones.

There is even a saying that if you want to practice boxing, you should practice standing still for three years first.

at this time,

Although Master Fu Wu's attitude was a little cold, he was very clear about what he should teach and say.

Under his guidance, Li Qinglin relaxed his waist and sat on his hips, and his whole body gradually sank down.

“The strength falls on the soles of the feet. If the waist is tilted, straighten it back. Relax and be still. Imagine that there is spring water gushing out from the soles of your feet.”

Master Fu Wu pointed out several mistakes made by Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin now possesses a heart toad, with abundant Qi and blood. After repeated exercise and absorption of Qi and blood, his ability to recruit muscles and bones is far beyond that of ordinary people.

When the energy is full, the spirit is strong, and the thinking becomes sharper.

Li Qinglin's movements were a little awkward at first, but as time went by, he gradually found the trick.

The whole person suddenly became quiet.

I even vaguely felt what Master Fu Wu had said, the warm feeling of spring water gushing out from the soles of my feet.

After Master Fu Wu finished instructing Donkey Face and Ruan Qi, he answered the questions of several apprentices, scanned the entire training ground, and then paid attention to Li Qinglin again.

"Hmm? This feeling?"

Master Fu Wu's gaze was fixed, and after noticing Li Qinglin's quiet and composed temperament, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
