Chapter 25 Young Martial Artist
When a person is born, the essence is formed first, and when the essence is formed, the brain marrow is born. The bones become the trunk, the veins become the nourishment, the tendons become strong, the flesh becomes the wall, the skin becomes firm and the hair becomes long. Food enters the stomach, the veins become unblocked, and blood and qi begin to flow.
Blood and energy are the foundation of a martial artist's martial arts training.
The strength or weakness of the body is all caused by "blood and qi".
In youth, "the blood and energy are not strong", in middle age, "the blood and energy are vigorous", and in old age, "the blood and energy are weak".
Before this, Qiu Zhen had not encountered any opportunities and was short of money, so it seemed like a long way to go before he could reach the level of "Martial Master". Faced with the difficulties in his life, he once placed his hope of becoming a "Martial Master" on "entering middle age".
He wanted to emulate Manager Kang of Qingmu Pharmacy and worship a martial arts master, so as to strive to become a martial arts master during his prime years.
This is a great opportunity for most martial artists who have average qualifications but are willing to work hard to become "martial arts masters".
People in their twenties or thirties become "martial artists", but their potential is limited.
However, it can change your life and allow you to live a very comfortable life in a small rural town.
Qiu Zhennian is only fifteen years old, less than sixteen years old, which is the stage of "blood not yet full of vigor", but at this moment his blood is boiling and his energy is extremely abundant.
"Blood is boiling."
Qiu Zhen murmured in his heart, and when he looked inward, he knew the condition of his body clearly.
The blood rushes and the veins boil.
I have finally mastered the first level of the Medicine King Five Animal Play that I had always dreamed of.
He thought he would be extremely excited at this moment, but when he really took this step, he felt unexpectedly calm inside.
Only luck and accidents can make people excited and surprised.
He is fully aware of the process of becoming a martial artist and is in control of it.
Asceticism, adventure and fighting against ferocious beasts
Everything is under his control.
Becoming a martial artist not only brought him physical transformation and great strength, but also an inner transformation and spiritual strength that came from controlling his life and destiny.
"Today I know that my life is in my own hands."
Qiu Zhen's thoughts were clear and he felt extremely happy.
When he was so happy, he wanted to find someone to share his happiness.
Carrying the thousand-pound giant, he slowly turned his head and saw the little fox following closely behind him.
Bai Zhu was carrying a bamboo basket and a hatchet on his back at the moment. Perhaps he had sensed Qiu Zhen's gaze, so he stood in the shape of a human. He did not look like a fox spirit in the mountains, but more like a little man.
Seeing Qiu Zhen looking at it, the small piece of yam in its mouth fell into the fox's paw, and it was held in both hands and handed over.
"Hey~"
Qiu Zhen was slightly stunned.
These days, he would talk and communicate with Bai Zhu every day.
During the conversation, he mentioned that he was about to achieve success in martial arts and that he only needed one precious medicine, or two or three months, to practice martial arts to the right level.
Bai Zhu may have taken these words to heart.
Just now, it suppressed the monster's instinctive urge for the "magic herbs and precious medicines" and refrained from eating them.
"You eat it, I have already made a breakthrough."
"Hey~"
Bai Zhu was delighted when he heard this, and without saying a word, he peeled the yam in his hand and gobbled it up.
Even though my whole body felt numb and itchy while eating, I still enjoyed it.
Qiu Zhen smiled brightly and felt even better.
"Bai Shu, you carry the bamboo basket and hatchet back to Qiuzhen Valley, and I will carry the prey back to the city and take the first step to heaven in this life."
After saying that, Qiu Zhen carried the thousand-pound beast on his back and strode out of the forest with big strides.
Not long after.
On the official road to Aoki Town.
"Dad, Dad, what a big beast! What a big beast!"
"Why are there ferocious beasts on the official road? What are those patrolling forest warriors doing?"
On the official road carriage, a middle-aged businessman heard his son scream that there was a ferocious beast. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he immediately went in the direction his son was pointing.
Then, his expression became more surprised.
I saw a young man dressed in brown and poor clothes carrying a giant wild boar beast several times larger than him on his shoulders. He walked with steady steps, and every step he took was like a giant elephant strolling. Dust was stirred up with a rumbling sound between his steps.
The boy's face showed no sign of strain and he looked very relaxed.
"Martial Master, this young man has become a martial master."
The middle-aged businessman was greatly shocked. He could see that the ferocious wild boar king died from three arrows in the forehead, but to carry a thousand-pound beast on the road, only a "martial artist" could do it.
In fact, Qingmu Town is not short of martial artists. If you count carefully, there are quite a few of them.
Hunting ferocious beasts is not uncommon.
However, if the person who hunted the beast was a young man who had become a martial artist, it would be a rare event that could shock the whole city. On the official road, people were coming and going, and there were endless carriages and horses.
The sight of the young man carrying the huge beast on his shoulders immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, and they all followed behind him, and more and more people gathered around him.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen remained calm and rushed towards the densely populated Qingmu Town.
He cannot tell others about his cultivation of immortality and the truth, but he can display his martial arts skills openly.
He had read a lot of books and knew that if one became a martial artist in his youth, he would have much greater potential and a brighter future than if he became a martial artist in middle age.
This time, shooting and killing the ferocious wild boar king and becoming a martial artist was exactly his first step to emerging and becoming famous. Only by showing himself to the fullest could he attract the attention of Medicine King Valley.
A fisherman caught a big fish and passed by his home three times without returning.
And he wanted to do something big - a town-wide touring exhibition.
In Qingmu City, there is the An family pharmaceutical factory.
A month later, Ankang came to the courtyard again with a group of servants.
The house for the An family was finalized, and the collection of books in the courtyard had a place to be placed. His main purpose was to move the "collection of books" and pay the monthly wages to the pharmaceutical apprentices in Yaowang Valley so that they wouldn't have to wait anxiously.
In the small courtyard, Ankang ordered the servants to move the collection of books, and then handed out money with several jars of several strings of cash in his hands.
Copper coins are divided into big coins and small coins.
Small money is one cent, and large money is ten cents.
A string of one hundred large coins makes up one string of money, which feels very heavy in the hand.
The An family was very generous in paying wages, with the five people receiving more than one guan of salary per month.
The four apprentices received their wages and were all very happy.
Qian Youcai, needless to say, had never seen so much wages paid at once, and was overjoyed. Even Kang Yaoming, Li Kui and Liu Chun, who came from better families, were no exception.
After Ankang paid the four people their wages, he looked around. He was a little puzzled at first as to why Qiu Zhen was not there, but he was initially focused on the young master's collection of books and did not ask much. Now that he had not seen anyone for a long time, he could not help but speak:
"Where's Qiu Zhen? Where did he go?"
"This"
The four of them looked at each other.
"Brother Zhen suddenly left for something, and we don't know where he went."
"so."
Ankang nodded but didn't say much.
Today is an important day for paying wages. If he leaves now, it must be because of something urgent.
He was not a difficult person to talk to, and had no intention of pursuing the matter.
"Tell him to go to the pharmacy to collect his wages tomorrow. You can call it a day. That's all for today."
After saying that, Ankang went out with a group of servants, carrying the book box.
As soon as I went out, I heard a bustling sound from the street.
Ankang had good hearing, and amid the boiling noise, he vaguely heard words such as "ferocious beast" and "young martial artist".
"Are there any good seedlings?"
Ankang's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic.
In the countryside, if a young man can become a "martial artist", there is a high probability that he is a gifted person.
At that moment, he ordered his servants to move the collection of books back to the An family's home, and then hurriedly followed the crowd.
Along the way, many martial arts masters from martial arts schools and wealthy families also rushed over to watch the fun.
During this period, Ankang met Manager Liu and Manager Kang from Qingmu Medicine Shop on the road.
"Manager Liu, Qingmu has good feng shui and is blessed with outstanding people. I heard from passers-by that he is a 15 or 16-year-old boy from Guizhou. He has a bright future ahead of him for being able to become a martial artist at such a young age."
"I have such a good talent, but I didn't manage to recruit him to the Medicine King Valley. I am so ashamed."
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hands, looking embarrassed.
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Liu quickened his pace by three points, feeling a little expectant and curious, but also a bit regretful.
If the young man is from his Medicine King Valley, then he, as the shopkeeper, has made a great contribution.
The market outside the city was crowded with people.
"Shopkeeper, he is one of ours."
The apprentice who arrived at the scene earlier saw Manager Liu and his group and waved to them from afar, very excited.
"What do you mean our people?"
Shopkeeper Liu, Ankang and Kang Zhuangyuan were puzzled.
"It's Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen hunted down a ferocious beast!"
As the apprentice called out loudly, Manager Liu, Ankang, and Kang Zhuangyuan used their Qinggong skills to quickly climb up a big tree. Looking from afar, they saw the ferocious beast and the young man where the crowd gathered.
"Qiu Zhen, he...he is actually Qiu Zhen!
