It was Master Mo who taught the apprentices. Master Mo was probably in his fifties, but he looked very old. The teaching was meticulous and very strict, but as long as you studied seriously, Master Mo would like it very much. Chu Shu was a man of two generations and knew the importance of knowledge, so he studied very hard. In martial arts, Chu Shu's talent was average. But in the cultural class, Chu Shu stood out among the many apprentices. After all, he had been reading books for more than ten years in his last life. Even though the words are different, the principles of learning are the same. Moreover, Chu Shu also works very hard, which makes Master Mo very fond of him. He often praises Chu Shu and is even willing to help him.

"Oh, it's a pity that you are an apprentice at Miaoshou Garden. Otherwise, with your talent, you might be able to become an official in the imperial examination in the future," Master Mo sighed. He thought that Chu Shu was a young scholar. But Chu Shu knew his own situation. He was just relying on his lifetime of memory, so he had a slight advantage when he first started reading and recognizing words. If he really wanted to study for the imperial examination, there was little hope.

What's more, what Chu Shu preferred deep down in his heart was martial arts training. If he practiced martial arts step by step, the progress would definitely be very slow. But Chu Shu thought of a way.

"It will take some time for the Tiger Pouncer to be perfected, maybe three to five months before it is finished. Then why don't I look for some martial arts similar to basic boxing techniques? It is easy to practice the simplest martial arts to perfection and takes very little time. More importantly, it can quickly improve your comprehension."

Chu Shu's purpose was to improve his comprehension. As long as his comprehension improved, it would be easier to practice martial arts. As for basic martial arts, this was not a problem for Chu Shu. There were a lot of people in Miaoshou Garden who knew basic martial arts. This was common knowledge on the street; anyone who was a martial artist had basically practiced a few tricks. Chu Shu only used some food to trade for three basic martial arts skills: basic saber techniques, basic sword techniques, and basic staff techniques.

Time passed in a flash, and it was more than ten days.

On this day, before it was time to get up in the morning, Chu Shu got up early. He hurried to the secluded corner where he practiced martial arts at night. It was already dark now, but there was a faint light. Chu Shu got up so early in order to practice the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art. He had been practicing the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art for more than ten days, and he could hear the blood in his body rushing like a river almost every day. He knew that the time for him to sense the blood should not be far away. Maybe it would be in these few days. Therefore, he practiced martial arts more diligently.

Chu Shu still practiced the strange posture of the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art as usual. Suddenly, the blood in his body rushed, just like the rushing river. Moreover, the sound became louder and louder, and Chu Shu's whole body turned red.

"Boom."

The next moment, Chu Shu's mind roared. In his mind, a picture appeared. He seemed to be able to "see" a ball of bright red blood, running in a specific way in the body.

"Qi and blood, this is Qi and blood!"

Chu Shu was very surprised. He finally sensed the Qi and blood, and the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art had entered the door. However, after carefully sensing the Qi and blood, Chu Shu suddenly realized that he had been wrong before. Qi and blood are not blood. What he heard was not the sound of blood flowing, but Qi and blood. Qi and blood are a special energy in the body that can nourish the human body. The stronger the Qi and blood, the stronger the human body. Chu Shu immediately checked the attribute panel.

Host: Chu Shu

Comprehension: 99 (ordinary)

Basic saber skills: small success

Basic sword skills: small success

Basic staff skills: small success

Tiger pounce: great success

Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art: first level

On the attribute panel, the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art has indeed entered the door and stepped into the first level. In Chu Shu's perception, his Qi and blood are now only a small ball. However, as time went by, he practiced the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art, and he was able to slowly strengthen this group of blood and Qi. There are three levels of the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art, and now Chu Shu has only practiced the first level.

When you reach the first level, it is considered an entry level, and you don’t have to practice those weird postures every day. You can directly control the blood and Qi and "move the blood and Qi" in your body. Chu Shu tried it, and he really saw the blood and Qi being moved in his body, over and over again. However, after moving it several times, the blood and Qi still didn’t grow much. Instead, Chu Shu felt hungry and uncomfortable all over.

"Elder Liu once said that blood and Qi need to be strengthened. So the warriors of the guard team need to take medicinal food every day to ensure the strengthening of blood and Qi. But I didn’t join the guard team. Without medicinal food, the speed of blood and Qi growth is as slow as a snail. At this rate, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter the second level of the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art even after a few years."

Chu Shu frowned. Even if he had sensed the blood and Qi, he couldn’t join the guard team. It took so long to sense the blood and Qi, which, in the eyes of the guards, means that the qualifications are low and there is no value in training. There is another way, that is to buy medicinal food. The medicinal food of the guards is actually very ordinary, and it can be bought in the medicine shop outside. As long as there is silver, you can buy medicinal food for yourself. But the key is that Chu Shu has no silver. Not to mention silver, there are no copper coins.

"I have to think of a way to make money."

    Chu Shu thought for a while. He didn't dare to say too much, so he said conservatively: "About 70 to 80%."Manager Zhang had a look of surprise on his face. 70% to 80% certainty meant it was actually quite certain. Chu Shu was young, and to reach this level in just five months made him a child prodigy! It was very possible for him to become a pharmacist or even a doctor in the future. In Miaoshou Garden, the doctor who sits for consultation has a very high status. Even the guards in the escort team are not as high-ranking as a doctor. Thinking of this, Manager Zhang looked solemn, nodded, and said: "I agree; you go ahead. As a menial apprentice, it would be troublesome to go by yourself. I will take you there myself."Manager Zhang was obviously making friends with Chu Shu. A future doctor of Miaoshou Garden has a bright future and is worthy of being friends with."Then it will be up to you to take care of things," Chu Shu said, bowing his hands. He followed Manager Zhang and left the

    After finishing his work, Chu Shu reviewed the battle with the two thieves. Although he killed them, Chu Shu had actually been in great danger. The opponents were not warriors, just ordinary men with strong bodies. Even so, it was quite dangerous for him to use the Tiger Pouncer. If he had made a slight mistake, he would have died."I need weapons. It's not convenient to carry a sword with me, but I can bring a dagger. With the perfect Tiger Pouncer and a dagger, it is enough to deal with ordinary opponents."Chu Shu thought for a while, and with his current status, carrying a dagger was obviously the most appropriate choice.In the following days, Chu Shu resumed his usual schedule. He was busy every day from morning to night, with no time to rest in between. Chu Shu wanted to buy medicinal food to practice martial arts, but with his current status, it was difficult to even get out. The status of a menial apprentice was too inconvenient."I have to find a way to get rid of my status

    Chu Shu rested for a while and felt that his physical strength had recovered a little. He immediately counted the things in the thieves' packages. Roughly estimated, the gold, silver, and jewelry were worth about 500 taels. After searching the three thieves for a while, he also found some silver notes, about 300 taels. A total of more than 800 taels.What is the concept of more than 800 taels? In Nanyang City, a small courtyard with two entrances is only 30 to 50 taels of silver. His more than 800 taels of silver were undoubtedly a huge sum of money. No wonder the two thieves said before that they could rest for a few years after dividing the silver."I need to meet up with the apprentices. I can't carry silver with me, not even silver notes. It will be troublesome if I get searched." Chu Shu was very cautious. He took a look at the three bodies and dragged them directly to the valley, burying them simply. Then he cleaned the cave to make sure there was no bloody smell that would attr

    Three strong and burly strange men wearing black scarves walked in. Then, the three took off their black scarves. The three seemed to be arguing about something, and then a package fell to the ground."Clatter."A pile of silver ingots and some jewelry rolled out of the package. Chu Shu opened his eyes wide. Obviously, he guessed the identity of these three people. They were probably not righteous people; most of them were thieves. Most of these gold and silver jewelry were also dirty. Seeing the gold and silver jewelry in the package, two of them looked at each other, and then they drew their swords."Puff."One of the men fell in a pool of blood, and the two of them joined forces to kill their accomplice. The man picked up the package from the ground and sneered: "Humph, Liu San, you are looking for death yourself. Don't blame us; you were too greedy.""Brother, why are you talking so much? Without Liu San, we can share more gold and silver this time."Both of them showed a trace of

    Chu Shu thought about it. He is now a menial apprentice and has no wages at all. Moreover, it is impossible for him to leave Miaoshou Garden. After all, menial apprentices have signed a contract with Miaoshou Garden. Once they escape, they can be killed directly if caught. Of course, the contract also has a time limit. The time seems to be three years. Three years is the limit set by the government. The government does not allow anyone to keep slaves. So the contract is also a maximum of three years, and after three years, it must be converted to employment. From this perspective, the government seems to be pretty good. At least Chu Shu does not have to be an apprentice of Miaoshou Garden for his whole life. But if he couldn't use the medicinal diet for three years, Chu Shu would be at a big loss. He didn't want his martial arts to have no progress in three years.Chu Shu thought about it for a few days but couldn't think of any good solution. He could only put it aside for the time b
