Chapter 8
last update2026-02-27 01:18:01

In the early hours before dawn, in the deep of the night, the faint and distant sound of a rooster crowing could be heard.

At Yuanshun Escort Agency, the curtain of the dormitory for the errand disciples was lifted, and a figure walked out. This person had a square face and was thin, and his complexion was dark. It was Mo Qian who had just woken up.

Mo Qian washed his face with cold water, and deliberately picked a thicker branch from the firewood pile, preparing to practice a few routines first.

But as soon as Mo Qian started, he heard a sudden sound, and the branch broke.

Mo Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that he had stood still for a whole day and slept for a night, and his strength had increased a lot, even these thicker branches could not withstand it.

Mo Qian threw away the half-broken branch in his hand and left the yard where the errand disciples lived.

Mo Qian was going to the yard where their errand disciples usually practiced. That yard was a little far from here, and it was quite remote. Usually, no one went there except for the practice time.

Mo Qian went around from the back of the servants' yard.

There were guards guarding the stable and the inner courtyard. At this time, if they bumped into him, they would inevitably be questioned. Mo Qian would rather take a detour.

Mo Qian walked into the remote courtyard where the firewood was piled. On the dark night sky, a shining star was hanging upside down. There was no one around and everything was quiet.

Mo Qian walked to the weapon rack, took out a waste knife and held it in his hand.

This was the first time Mo Qian held a knife in his hand after swallowing the weapon spirit. Although it was just a waste knife with a broken blade, the moment Mo Qian held the knife, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Mo Qian started from the opening move and performed the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife one by one.

And sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the more he fought, the more he felt it. Gradually, the pauses between the moves had a certain rhythm.

After Mo Qian finished the fight, his mind was as clear as a mirror.

His strength had increased significantly.

No wonder he broke the branch with a starting move.

He had a lot of delicious food at the restaurant yesterday, and his muscles were trained thoroughly with the Zhuang Gong.

His training yesterday was probably equivalent to ten days of training for others.

After all, he had the experience bonus of the entry-level Five Tigers and Sheep Knife. Once his physical fitness improved slightly, his strength would increase exponentially.

It was effective immediately.

Mo Qian performed the routine of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife three times in a row.

After three times, Mo Qian stopped.

The muscles of his right arm and shoulder were slightly swollen and painful. His physical fitness was still weak, and the entry-level swordsmanship could not last long.

Mo Qian sighed. Improving physical fitness is a slow process, and there is no point in being anxious.

"If I can supplement with food and medicine, I guess I can improve faster." Mo Qian blinked and muttered to himself.

The delicious food at the restaurant yesterday was obviously effective, but with Mo Qian's financial resources, he would never eat and drink like that, and medicine supplements were even more unrealistic.

"It's easier to get things done if you have money. Money is a resource, and it's the same in every world. After passing the assessment, you have to find a way to make money first."

Mo Qian felt that his current state was like when he first joined the company in his previous life, with a lot of things to do and nothing to do.

Mo Qian took a short break, then put the waste knife back on the weapon rack and started to stand up.

Mo Qian continued to try the way of internal breath operation that he saw in his dream.

Until the sky was bright, Mo Qian breathed out a white breath, which shot out from his mouth like an arrow. This was the effect of holding the breath without revealing it.

However, he still didn't understand the internal power of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife.

Mo Qian first left the escort agency from the corner door of the backyard, and ate a big bowl of mutton soup buns outside. He drank a full spoonful of chili oil, and his stomach was warm.

After eating, Mo Qian returned to the escort agency, went to the place where the food was stored, got two steamed buns, and walked towards the horse farm while biting the steamed buns.

Mo Qian worked in the horse stable for the whole day.

Old Man Sun had a back injury and couldn't do heavy work, so Mo Qian was basically the one doing the work, and Old Man Sun just helped out.

But with Old Man Sun here, Mo Qian couldn't practice standing meditation like he did yesterday.

If Old Man Sun saw his weird crab-like walking posture, he would probably think he was possessed by evil spirits.

Mo Qian's physical fitness and strength had not only improved, but his way of exerting strength was also different from before, so he didn't even breathe hard after a day's work.

Old Man Sun looked at Mo Qian, who didn't even sweat a drop, and his wrinkled old face suddenly smiled like a flower, saying: "After all, he is a young man, and he is not vague at all when doing work."

Old Man Sun was already thinking that if he could keep Mo Qian in the horse stable for a long time, he would be much more relaxed.

Mo Qian grinned. As soon as he saw Old Man Sun's expression, he knew what the old man was thinking.

Mo Qian sneered in his heart: I will be gone in a few more days, you can enjoy yourself. With your idiotic temper, I would rather do chores than work in this horse farm.

It was 6:00 pm, the time for these chores disciples to practice in the firewood house yard.

The horse farm where Mo Qian was located was the farthest from here. When he walked into the yard from the corner gate, he found that there were only seven people in the yard.

Except for Kong Bin, Zhang Zheng, and Li Chong in the first row, Mo Qian only knew the faces of the four people standing in the second row, but he couldn't even call out their names.

The original body was introverted and hardly communicated with other chores disciples. He had only been here for a few days, and he had all kinds of problems in his mind, so he couldn't take care of socializing with these chores disciples.

However, Mo Qian felt that this was not good. At least the news was blocked. If there was any news, no one would tell him.

Mo Qian thought that no matter which world you are in, communication skills are very important. If you can get along well with people, you will save a lot of trouble in many things.

Even if the original body is not dead, with his temperament, there is no possibility of turning over in this world.

However, since he has come here, he will live well for the original body, at least make a living.

    Mo Qian took a look at Li Chong, who was wearing earrings and had a tall figure, and walked over with a few big steps and stood beside him.Li Chong has always been a clean freak. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow flashing beside him, and then he smelled a strong and pungent smell of horse manure.Kong Bin, Zhang Zheng, and Li Chong always stood in the first row, and the other errand disciples also knew not to stand with them.But unexpectedly, Mo Qian stood beside Li Chong today. Just when Li Chong was about to get angry, he heard a deep cough at the gate of the courtyard.Zhao Mu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the steps and walked in with big strides. Li Chong saw Zhao Mu coming in, so he had to suppress his unhappiness and glared at Mo Qian beside him.Zhao Mu walked in, glanced at the eight errand disciples in front of him, and seemed to be unconcerned about the number of people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "In seven days, that is, April 8th, it will be the assessm

    The morning had passed quietly enough, but the work had piled up, and by now, faced with it all on his own, he could see there was no finishing it before dark.Just as the strain got the better of him and his back gave out, Mo Qian appeared and lifted the rake from his hands.At first Old Man Sun fixed him with a dark look, then noticed that Mo Qian's face was red and the smell of alcohol was on his breath, and he raised his voice: "A menial disciple cannot behave recklessly."Mo Qian sensed Old Man Sun's irritation immediately and reached for the same kind of words he had used in his previous life when smoothing things over with difficult clients."Old Sun, I know I was wrong, and it will not happen again. You can rest assured that I will handle everything that is left. I made this mess and I will clean it up myself, without causing you any trouble."Old Man Sun's expression actually softened a little. He watched Mo Qian put real effort into the work, pulling up half a trough of fodd

    The closeness between Yang Zhen and Mo Qian had its roots in the fact that both of them had grown up as orphans, though their circumstances after that point had diverged considerably.Yang Zhen's second uncle was an accountant at an herbal medicine shop.For warriors training in martial arts, supplementing with food alone was never enough. Medicinal supplements were equally important.The medicines ordinary people took when ill were generally common ingredients, and even those were expensive enough.The medicinal materials that warriors used to support their practice were typically rare and precious herbs, with a single preparation costing more than most ordinary families spent in an entire year.The margins involved were enormous.Running a business like an herbal medicine shop was not something just anyone could do. Without the right connections, there was no way to tap into those profits.To work as an accountant in such a shop, a person needed not only an impeccable ledger and fas

    Relying on the memories of the original body, Mo Qian walked for roughly the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before stopping at the door of his own home.Mo Qian took out the key from his inner pocket, opened the gate, and walked in.He went straight into the inner room, got down on his knees beside the bed, reached under it, and pulled out a dusty jar from the corner.Mo Qian opened the jar and took out a few pieces of silver from the bottom.He looked them over and estimated that they amounted to just over one tael in total.This was the entirety of the original body's wealth.Mo Qian sighed. "The economic base determines the superstructure. This amount of money is only enough for a few days of decent eating."He had already calculated that this sum could cover two bowls of mutton soup with steamed buns each day for the next several days at most.However, once he was promoted to apprentice, his monthly salary would increase, and things might not be quite so tight.After all

    In his previous life, Mo Qian had spent years working as a social animal and had long since lost the patience for dealing with someone this transparent.Li Chong saw that Mo Qian seemed not to have heard the mockery at all and remained standing in his Round Pile without reaction, and his anger surged. "Mo Qian, I am talking to you! Can you hear me? You have no talent. You deserve to be doing chores for the rest of your life. Who do you think you're impressing with this act?"Li Chong saw that Mo Qian still paid him no mind, and for a moment he could not contain his fury. He was just about to make a move when Kong Bin suddenly gripped his shoulder."Brother, let him practice his and we'll practice ours. Why pick a fight with him? If things get physical and someone gets hurt, you'll be the one punished.""Brother Bin, look at him. I spoke to him and he acted as though he didn't hear a word."Kong Bin glanced at Mo Qian and noticed that Mo Qian's head was steaming and his Round Pile stan
