Chapter Eleven [Shit Luck]
Chen Musheng was able to hunt down a giant bear for the first time in his life, which made him very excited.
The feeling of completely engaging the true energy in his body and banging in his palm was absolutely refreshing. Next, while he sighed and sighed, he picked up the rusty hunting knife and began to pick up the black bear's corpse.
...
After half an hour of busy work.
"Huh--it's finally done, it's time to go back to the village and pick it up."
Chen Musheng stood up with relief. His entire bear skin had been flawlessly stripped off. A pair of bear paws were cut off intact, tied with a straw rope, and hung it on his shoulder.
"This time I'm lucky. This is a piece of bear skin that is not damaged, and the bear paw can be sold at least ten taels of silver. Next time I find an opportunity to take it off, I can change into new clothes and buy a good set of equipment."
Chen Musheng secretly made up his plan, carried the huge bear skin on his back, and began to walk down the mountain, with a satisfied smile on his face.
In the Walker Village, all the young people have no money to get. Even if the highest-ranking "top-grade villagers" want to buy some items other than essentials, everything depends on themselves.
Therefore, the tribesmen in charge of patrol will take advantage of the patrol opportunity to kill some wild animals and get things like tiger skin and bear paws. On the first day of each month, they can leave the village freely and then sell it in the market in the town.
The rules of the Mo family seem to be stingy, but in fact they are rich enough to rival the country. In addition to Fengyue Island, the Mo family ruled the nine nearby floating islands. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Mo family earned a year of silver as much as tens of millions of taels of silver.
Despite this, in the Walker Village, in addition to the teachers who teach martial arts, the elders of the Mo family were particularly stingy with the young tribe.
In other words, this is also a test and tempering for young people by the Mo family.
...
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Chen Musheng went down the mountain without any surprise and came to the heavy iron gate at the entrance of the village.
As we went down the mountain, we could occasionally see corpses of wild beasts being torn apart, thrown into the bushes in a mess. At that level of blood, it was obviously not done by humans.
Chen Musheng became more and more confident that there were indeed ferocious beasts hidden on the mountain, but if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could not take it seriously. He would rashly go to the second elder to report it. Maybe he would be punished in reverse, so he had to remain silent for the time being and be careful.
After waiting under the Tiemen for a while, a burly figure also emerged from the mountains and forests, and Mo Tie also came back.
Mo Tie, who was also patrolling, carried the ox horn bow and today's prey in his hand. A thin hare walked closer and saw Chen Musheng's rich "battle results" and was stunned.
There are not many black bears in the surrounding mountains and forests, let alone such a large one.
"Oh... did you hunt it yourself?" Mo Tie subconsciously glanced at the hare in his hand and pointed at the bear skin in disbelief. He felt that Chen Musheng was not torn into pieces by the bear, but he was lucky. He unexpectedly got such an intact bear skin.
Chen Musheng nodded indifferently: "Well, I've hunted it."
Mo Tie looked strange and said angrily: "You are so lucky."
"Yes, it's a pity that you didn't meet." Chen Musheng nodded with a smile, and was unwilling to talk to him anymore. However, seeing Mo Tie's surprised look, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Not long after, the two tribe members who took over also arrived.
This is a pair of men and women, whose names are Mo Han and Mo Yuner.
Chen Musheng naturally recognized his name. Among the two, one was a low-level warrior and the other was a mid-level warrior. When he saw Chen Musheng wearing a patch, he actually carried a valuable bear skin on his back. The two were no less surprised than Mo Tie.
"Chen Musheng, you are so lucky." Mo Yuner was sixteen years old and was a girl with a delicate face and dressed in a capable manner. When she saw Chen Musheng's bear skin, she couldn't help but praise her.
"Luck, it's just luck." Chen Musheng smiled and handed over the patrol token.
"Silly people are lucky." Mo Han said coldly, with a crossbow hanging around his waist and a heavy sword on his back. Almost all tribe members assigned to patrol were well-equipped and ready to hunt at any time.
Chen Musheng glanced at Mo Han with his omen and thought to himself: Why is it another thing that looks down on people?
"I hope you have good luck too." Chen Musheng grinned and showed his neat white teeth. He moved the bear skin to the left side of his shoulder, turned around and left, and threw a sentence from a distance: "Mo Tie, see you tomorrow."
The three of them were left stunned for a moment. Seeing Chen Musheng walking away, Mo Yuner bent her eyebrows and said strangely: "Why do I think Chen Musheng is different from before?"
Mo Han glanced at him and said, "I don't feel it. Seeing his poor look, I get crazy when I get a bear skin. I think his assessment this year is still at the bottom."
Mo Tie said, "What's the point of talking about this kind of waste? The black bear he hunted might have been killed by a ferocious beast and he picked it up for the cheap."
Mo Yuner frowned and said, "But don't you think it's strange? He is not even a warrior. The bear skin is intact. He must have been killed by the palm force. If you can do this, I'm afraid that low-level warriors may not be able to do it, right?"
"..." Mo Tie.
"..." Mo Han.
For a moment, these two people couldn't figure it out...
——————————
When Chen Musheng returned to the smelly house, dusk had completely arrived. He carefully cleaned up the bear skin and bear paws he had hunted, put them in front of the window to dry them, and then nodded with satisfaction, washed up, and changed the dry practice clothes on his body.
"Today I need to hurry up and practice the Ice and Fire Art. Let's go to the library first." Chen Musheng thought to himself. He couldn't wait and headed straight to the library.
...
This time Chen Musheng walked into the gate of the first floor of the library, he saw Wu Bo leaning on the chair. He was still holding a stern face and closing his eyes to rest.
"Bon Wu." Chen Musheng stepped forward and called.
"Eh?" Wu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Musheng, and asked coldly: "What are you doing today?"
Chen Musheng said calmly: "I will copy the second level of the secret book "Ice and Fire Art" and "Tianbang Palm". According to the rules, should I demonstrate it for you to see?"
"What?"
Wu Bo Lao's eyes suddenly widened and he looked in disbelief: "Have you mastered the first level of "Ice and Fire Art"?"
The tenth level of exercises was practiced into the first level in one day. This deeply stimulated Wu Bo's aging nerves. For him, this was simply unheard of.
Chen Musheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I've made it."
Wu Bo stared at Chen Musheng with the eyes of the monster, and then looked up and down and said coldly: "No matter how good the talented person is, he cannot achieve the tenth level of martial arts in a day, let alone your talent? Little guy, you won't tease me, right? You can use your skills to show me now."
Seeing Wu Bo's surprised expression, Chen Musheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was naturally happy that he could quickly practice the tenth level secret book, but such cultivation speed would indeed make others crazy and feel that it was unreasonable.
"Okay, Uncle Wu, check it out." Chen Musheng said helplessly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, huh! He raised his hand and punched it, making a whistling sound, and his fist suddenly stopped.
As soon as the arm was exerted, the true energy in the dantian was instantly moved, and a wisp of true energy rushed to the palm. Under the forced control of Chen Musheng's mind, this wisp of true energy began to rotate continuously in the palm of his palm.
Wu Bo Lao narrowed his eyes and put his thin palm on Chen Musheng's palm. After a few breaths, he quietly let go. He sighed with extreme surprise: "I didn't expect that I have really practiced it. People like you, it's a miracle to practice true qi. How could he practice the first level of martial arts in a day?"
Chen Musheng vaguely felt that it was not good. Although it was a good thing to make the cultivation progress quickly, if it was outrageously fast, it would be troublesome to ask the second elder and even the elders in the family.
‘I can cultivate true qi because of the notes in the tip. If this matter is heard by the second elder, he will inevitably ask. Wouldn’t it be a bad thing to take away the tip?’
Chen Musheng muttered in his heart and explained, "Uncle Wu, you don't know how could I know it, so I can't cultivate true qi before. I suddenly practiced true qi a few days ago, which is much better than ordinary people, so that's why."
Wu Bo gradually regained his usual coldness. He seemed to not believe Chen Musheng's explanation, but snorted coldly: "Forget it, how you practiced has nothing to do with me. Since you have cultivated the first level of "Ice and Fire Art", you can copy the next level. Now you can practice the first level of "Sky Collapse Palm" again."
"I understand." Chen Musheng nodded, immediately stole his horse and practiced "The First Style of Heaven Collapse" in a normal manner.
After Wu Bo observed it, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded slightly and said, "It's great, you go in."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
With approval, Chen Musheng naturally didn't want to stay with this weird old man, so he immediately entered the library.
This time when I walked into the third floor of the library, several tribe members were already looking up the secret bookstore in front of the towering bookshelf.
In the Walker Village, Chen Musheng rarely interacted with others, so he went straight to the bookshelf where the tenth level secret book was stored and picked up the secret book of "Ice and Fire Art".
After opening the secret book, Chen Musheng glanced at the second level of content, and suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Every time I copy the secret book and I have to be checked by Uncle Wu, so I might as well memorize the content of the secret book here. In this way, no one can know the progress of my practice."
So, he did not rush to copy, but found a corner without anyone else and began to remember the content after the second level of "Ice and Fire Art"...
The biggest difference between the so-called tenth-level exercises and lower-level exercises below the fifth-level exercises is that they are dozens of times more complicated.
The worst first-level exercise may just allow the true qi to run in several major meridians, and the cultivation speed will naturally be fast and can quickly break through.
