Infinite Comprehension: Starting as a Medicine Apprentice

Chapter 8

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 attract wild animals. Then he prepared and stored the picked herbs and temporarily placed them in the cave. In the backpack, only a part of the herbs were kept to ensure that he would not be punished.

After doing all this, Chu Shu left the valley, leaving some hidden marks along the way to ensure that he could find the location of the valley next time he entered the mountain. It was around noon when Chu Shu met up with many apprentices in Miaoshou Garden.

"Chu Shu, how was your harvest today?" An apprentice asked Chu Shu, who was dusty and sweaty. In fact, the other party wanted to show off; his own backpack was full of herbs.

Chu Shu shook his head and pretended to be disappointed: "My luck is average today. I only found these herbs. Forget it, I have to hurry up and try to find more herbs."

Chu Shu hurried into the mountains to collect herbs again. But in fact, with the previous windfall, Chu Shu didn't care about the reward from Miaoshou Garden at all. Everything he did now was just a show.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened. Miaoshou Garden also gathered the apprentices. One of the apprentices was very unlucky; he accidentally fell off a cliff while collecting herbs and died. Even his body was not found. There were three other apprentices who accidentally stepped on traps left by hunters in the mountains and were injured. The rest of the apprentices were safe and sound.

One of the apprentices named Ruan Jin had a good harvest. The herbs he picked were the best in both quantity and quality. Therefore, Ruan Jin was publicly rewarded with five taels of silver by Miaoshou Garden. This was a heavy reward, and many apprentices were envious. However, this time of collecting herbs had ended, and it was unknown when the next opportunity would come.

Some were happy and some were worried. The apprentices also quickly left Woniu Mountain.

At night, the moonlight fills the earth.

In a secluded corner of Miaoshou Garden, an attribute panel appeared in front of Chu Shu. He saw that on the panel, the Tiger Pouncer had been perfected, and the value of comprehension had suddenly increased by two points. This could not help but surprise Chu Shu.

"The comprehension value increased by 2 points instead of 1 point. Previously, the basic boxing technique only added 1 point. Could it be that the Tiger Pouncer is a little more advanced than basic boxing, so it adds an extra point?"

Chu Shu thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. The more difficult and advanced the martial arts, the more comprehension values can be added once it is perfected. This makes perfect sense!

Chu Shu closed his eyes, and his mind seemed to be clearer. Some things that were complicated and difficult to understand in the past now seemed understandable after just a little thought. Previously, Chu Shu was still a little confused about the strengthening of Qi and blood in the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art. But now a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he understood immediately.

The Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art actually uses a special vibration method to continuously exercise the body. It allows the body to replenish Qi and blood, thereby strengthening them. The body must in turn strengthen itself by consuming various nutrients, such as meat and the nutrients in medicinal diets, thus forming a virtuous cycle. The doubts that had lingered for many days were instantly solved.

Chu Shu immediately checked the attribute panel.

Host: Chu Shu

Comprehension: 101 (above average)

Basic saber skills: small success

Basic swordsmanship: small success

Basic staff skills: small success

Tiger Pouncer: Perfection

Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art: Level 1

On the attribute panel, the comprehension has changed from 99 to 101, and even the evaluation has changed. It used to be "ordinary", but now it has become "above average". Obviously, this improvement is a qualitative transformation.

Chu Shu murmured in a low voice: "Is this the improvement of comprehension? Above average may sound simple, but this improvement is really immediate and the effect is so good..."

Chu Shu practiced the Dahe Vitality Strengthening Art again. Improving his comprehension to an above-average level could not make Qi and blood grow rapidly on its own, but it allowed him to feel the state of Qi and blood as they circulated, and even analyze it so that he could move them more reasonably. Over time, this would actually help the growth of Qi and blood.

Chu Shu was very satisfied. This was just the start. If he continued to improve his comprehension in the future, the results would surely be even better! He also practiced basic saber skills, basic sword skills, and basic staff skills. Improved comprehension would be more helpful to his martial arts. He believed it wouldn’t take long for these three skills to be perfected. At that time, his comprehension could continue to increase by 3 points!
