Chapter 24 Revenge Never Takes a Delay

Advanced martial arts skills.

Pills.

Food supplements.

This is the second path Liu Junshan pointed out to Chu Ning.

"There are more than six levels of Bull Demon Power. In fact, there are nine levels of Bull Demon Power. However, after reaching the level of martial artist, few people practice Bull Demon Power anymore because the last three levels of Bull Demon Power are less effective in nurturing blood essence."

"Emperor Taizu was originally a cowherd, and he had no access to advanced martial arts techniques. Bull Demon Power was the only martial arts technique Emperor Taizu could access, so he began to practice Bull Demon Power. With his high martial arts aptitude, Emperor Taizu practiced Bull Demon Power to the ninth level, breaking through directly to the realm of a military commander, and then switched to learning other martial arts techniques."

"The advanced martial arts skills are in the hands of the royal family and the eight families. With your current age and strength, if you join the army and make military achievements, the court will reward you with advanced martial arts skills."

"I won't travel far away when my parents are still alive. Although I have lost my parents, my aunt is still alive. I depend on my aunt for support and I don't plan to join the army."

Are you kidding? If you have a lifespan of 10,000 years, then you have to be stupid to join the army.

After knowing that he had inherited a lifespan of ten thousand years, Chu Ning set a principle for himself.

Don't take risks for some opportunities. Although you may miss a great opportunity, you will definitely not suffer any loss or put yourself in danger.

Liu Junshan was not surprised. Since his disciple liked to hide his abilities, he would naturally not choose to join the army.

"The other option is to rely on one of the eight major surnames, but this means you have to hand over your life to the other party."

"Teacher, this doesn't suit me either."

Chu Ning refused. Working for others was no different from joining the army.

"Since you don't plan to change your martial arts skills, I will teach you the remaining three levels of Bull Demon Power. You are a constable, and you are considered a member of the court. It is not against the rules for me to teach you the last three levels of Bull Demon Power. Pills are not something that ordinary martial artists can afford. The cheapest nourishing pill costs ten taels of silver each, and the effect is equivalent to the three days of refining your own qi and blood."

"Three days is ten taels, so one hundred taels is equivalent to the effect of thirty days of martial arts training. My monthly protection fee for Xiafeng Town is about one hundred taels, which is not enough for a month after deducting expenses. Besides, what I have the most is time, so there is no need to spend this money."

Chu Ning did the math, and Liu Junshan's next words made him completely give up the idea of ​​buying the elixir.

"Even if you are willing to spend money to buy Yangjin Pills, the effect will weaken after taking hundreds of them in a row, until it has no effect at all."

Isn't that drug resistance?

What this means is that if you want to take pills, you can only take good and expensive ones. There is not much point in taking cheap ones.

"The last dietary supplement is to eat ingredients that are beneficial to the blood. I have a diet menu here. Take a look at it first."

Liu Junshan handed Chu Ning a cookbook. Chu Ning opened it and looked at it for a while. In addition to food ingredients, each recipe also contained medicinal materials, and it was marked in detail which recipe should be used to stimulate different meridians.

This is not only a cookbook, but also a complete guide to the benefits of medicinal materials.

"Teacher, you also know medical skills."

"A martial artist is half a doctor. After a long time, you will also understand some medical skills." Liu Junshan explained with a smile.

After reading the recipe, Chu Ning had an idea in his mind. The herbs and ingredients in the recipe given by the teacher were all affordable for him. At the same time, from the ink he smelled, he knew that this should be what the teacher wrote specially for him yesterday. He felt a little touched.

While feeling touched, Chu Ning was also wondering in his heart whether there was another reason why the teacher wrote a new cookbook for him.

For example, the original cookbook also contained some of the teacher’s usual words like “I see that you are all selling your heads for profit”, which I was embarrassed to let my disciple see, so I wrote a new one.

…

Chu Ning asked the teacher about the effects and characteristics of some of the medicinal herbs in the recipe. When he had almost understood them, Liu Junshan began to teach Chu Ning the last three levels of "Bull Demon Power" and the method of controlling dark power.

At noon, someone from the kitchen brought lunch and Chu Ning ate a bite. The master and the apprentice taught and practiced together until dusk, when Chu Ning left the school and went to a clinic.

Chu Ning looked at the medicinal materials in the recipe and found something interesting: this world was very similar to China in his previous life, that is, everything was edible.

The non-toxic ones can be eaten directly, the less toxic ones can be fried and eaten, and the highly toxic ones can be soaked in wine and eaten.

Non-toxic things are called food ingredients, and poisonous things are called medicinal ingredients.

There are several poisonous herbs in this recipe.

I gave the doctor the list of herbs. The doctor looked at the herbs and asked, "Sir, do you want the herbs you want to be prepared? If they are prepared, it will take some time."

Listening to the doctor's words, Chu Ning said, "Let's prepare it. How long will it take?"

There are strict requirements on the dosage of medicinal materials in medicated food, so it is easier for him to let the clinic prepare it.

"It may take half an hour."

"Okay, I'll come back in half an hour to get it."

Chu Ning paid the money directly. Since it would take half an hour, and this place was not far from the theater, Lao Liao must be listening to a play in the theater at this time. So he asked Lao Liao to have dinner with him.

After entering the theater, Chu Ning frowned, feeling something was wrong.

He put his hand into his sleeve, pinched the silk thread that sewed the chili powder, and glanced around warily.

Something was wrong because every time he came to the theatre, the waiter who was attentive to him not only avoided his gaze but also did not come to greet him.

"Chu... Constable Chu, you are here to listen to the opera."

Finally, the waiter came over. Chu Ning could tell at a glance that the smile on his face was forced. He said in a deep voice, "Where is Lao Liao? If you dare to tell me a lie, you will go to jail."

"No... I don't dare." The waiter was so frightened that his face turned pale. He said quickly: "Constable Liao was beaten by the deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Sect and was later sent to the clinic."

Chu Ning was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the case.

"Tell me everything in detail. Don't hide anything."

…

…

Chu Ning walked out of the theater with a gloomy face. He had just come from the clinic. Since Lao Liao was not in the clinic, he should be at home.

After crossing several streets, Chu Ning soon arrived at Lao Liao's house.

The door was ajar, and Chu Ning heard Lao Liao's groaning before he entered.

"Old Liao, you are not dead yet. I thought you were dead and was just thinking about having a feast again."

"Get lost, you ate too much at the banquet in Xiafeng Town."

Chu Ning walked in and made a joke when he saw Old Liao lying on the bed, but Old Liao rolled his eyes at him.

Compared with other constables' homes, Lao Liao's home doesn't even have a yard. For Lao Liao, a lonely man, his home is just for sleeping. He even sleeps less at home than in the theater.

"Miss Xiaoxiang." Chu Ning greeted the woman in costume who was decocting medicine for Lao Liao.

"Mr. Chu." Xiaoxiang also returned the greeting.

"Xiao Xiang, since Chu Ning is here, you should go back, otherwise people will gossip about you."

Old Liao looked at Xiaoxiang, and Xiaoxiang bit her lip and said, "Okay, then Uncle Liao, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow. I will also trouble Master Chu to help take care of Uncle Liao."

"Don't worry, Lao Liao won't die as long as I'm here."

"Go back. No matter how heartless this kid is, he won't let me die."

Chu Ning watched Xiaoxiang leave and said with a smile, "Have you explained it clearly to her?"

"Well, today I, Old Liao, was a hero who saved the beautiful girl. I was afraid that Xiaoxiang would misunderstand and really want to repay me by marrying her, so I told her about me and her mother."

"If you were as handsome as me, Miss Xiaoxiang might marry you. But with your old face, I'm afraid Miss Xiaoxiang would just work like a slave in the next life to repay your kindness."

Chu Ning took a stool and sat in front of the medicine jar. While watching the boiling degree of the medicine liquid in the jar, he asked, "What's going on?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Since you came to see me, you must know that I was a hero saving a beautiful girl, but I never beat her up."

"Old Liao, you're treating me like a three-year-old kid. With your tact, can you fight with the deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Sect?"

If it was someone else, Chu Ning would have really believed it. He had been with Lao Liao for a month and knew Lao Liao very well.

According to the waiter, Lao Liao was listening to Miss Xiaoxiang singing in the theater, and it just so happened that the deputy leader of the Feihu Sect also came with his men to listen to the opera. The deputy leader wanted Xiaoxiang to come down for a drink, but Lao Liao stepped forward to stop him and was beaten by the deputy leader.

Lao Liao would certainly help Xiaoxiang out of the predicament, but with his smooth personality, he would definitely not anger the deputy leader of Feihu Sect. Besides, Lao Liao is just a constable after all. Although Feihu Sect is a big and powerful family and does not care about a constable, the people should not fight against the officials, which is a universal rule.

Even if this official is of low rank, he still represents a certain group.

If you dare to beat a constable today, will you dare to beat the head of the police tomorrow?

The most likely outcome of this matter was that Lao Liao would tactfully resolve the situation, and the deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Sect would also give Lao Liao some face, and the matter would be resolved in this way.

"I'm an old constable with no background and no future. People don't give me face, and I have no choice." Lao Liao said helplessly.

Chu Ning smiled, poured the medicine from the pot into a bowl, and handed it to Lao Liao: "You Lao Liao are shameless. You are the deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Sect, you have so many women at home, but you chose Miss Xiaoxiang?"

"Chu Ning, what do you mean? What's wrong with Xiaoxiang?"

Old Liao was furious and was about to stand up to argue with Chu Ning, but Chu Ning held him down: "Take your medicine. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."

"What are you talking about? It's just like that. Look, besides you, who else came to see me?"

Old Liao sighed. Chu Ning did not ask any more questions. He watched Old Liao finish the medicine and pour out the residue in the medicine jar. When Chu Ning came back, Old Liao had fallen asleep.

When Old Liao fell asleep, Chu Ning walked out of the house and closed the door. He walked through several streets and came to a yard. Without knocking on the door, he went straight in.

"Mr. Chu, please spare my life."

Liu Da, who was sleeping in the bedroom, suddenly felt something. He opened his eyes and saw a figure standing in front of him. At first he thought it was his enemy and was so scared that he begged for mercy. Fortunately, he saw who it was clearly in the end and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call your second brother over here. I want to ask him something."

"I'll go and shout."

Liu Da got out of bed in a hurry. This house was also rented by Chu Ning to Liu Da. The three brothers did not live together.

The three of them followed Chu Ning's request and infiltrated the gangs in Daning County. At first, they were some small gangs. After the leaders of those small gangs were killed by Chu Ning, they now joined the three major gangs in Daning County.

Liu Da is undercover in the Sanzhu Gang, the second brother is undercover in the Feihu Sect, and the third brother is in the Blood Knife Hall. It is natural that three different gangs cannot live together, so this place is regarded as a stronghold for the three brothers to meet.

Half an hour later, Liu Da came in with his second brother.

"Master Chu, my second brother is here."

"Jiang Lao Er, how much do you know about Zheng Yangjie, the deputy leader of your Feihu Sect?"

"Master Chu, I... I am just a small follower in Feihu Sect, how can I know about the deputy sect leader's affairs?"

"Second brother, think about it carefully. Didn't you say that you were very popular in Feihu Sect in the past and that you were on good terms with many of the members of Feihu Sect?"

Liu Da anxiously reminded them that this was the first time that Lord Chu had taken the initiative to find them, so they must not let him down.

Liu Da is now both afraid of Lord Chu and wants to be valued by Lord Chu. Think about how the gangs that the three brothers joined before disappeared? The leaders and deputy leaders of these gangs have expressed their intention to plant flags in Xiafeng Town, and after he told Lord Chu about this, the leaders and deputy leaders of these gangs disappeared.

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

"I remember that yesterday I followed Big Brother... not you, but the big brother in the gang... to collect protection money. Big Brother was not in a good mood. I asked him a few questions and found out that Big Brother was scolded by the deputy leader, and the deputy leader was in a bad mood."

Yesterday, I was in a bad mood...

"I just asked why the deputy leader was in a bad mood, but Big Brother didn't tell me in detail. He just said that one of the deputy leader's sworn brothers was beaten up. At that time, I deliberately asked, but we didn't hear that anyone in our gang was injured. Big Brother said that the deputy leader's sworn brother was not from the gang... but from the police station..."

"I...that's all I know. If I ask any more, Big Brother will ignore me."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. Yesterday, the police were beaten...

Combining these pieces of information together, the answer is obvious.

Zhang, Tao, and Zheng, Yangjie.

"Lao Liao must have guessed it, so he deliberately changed the subject. He didn't tell me because he didn't want to involve me."

Chu Ning knew in his heart that Old Liao was implicated by him.

Lao Liao had made an appointment with Zhang Tao on his behalf. Zhang Tao hated himself and also hated Lao Liao. He was even more likely to think that he and Lao Liao had teamed up to set a trap for him.

Zhang Tao and Zheng Yangjie didn't dare to take action against him, but Lao Liao was a helpless constable.

The two of them took out their anger on Lao Liao first.

"Jiang Lao Er, you did a good job. Think carefully about the places that Zheng Yangjie often goes to."

Chu Ning looked at Jiang Laoer with encouraging eyes. Jiang Laoer was a narrow-minded man who would never let go of any grudge. If he couldn't win, he would just endure it, but if he could, he would never let it go.

PS: Here are 4,000 words. I asked the editor. The paid follow-up reading fee was 500 the day before yesterday, but it wasn't out yesterday. The editor said that I would have to get 1,000 to pass. Dear Wu Yanzu, rich and beautiful ladies, don't keep the book. I will add more chapters when it reaches 1,000 follow-up readings. I will also add more chapters if you get 100 monthly votes. There's not much else, but I have a lot of manuscripts in stock.
