Chapter 33 Found a treasure
Linfeng Hall, front yard.

Li Linfeng called out to Shen Qing who had not yet left.

Shen Qing didn't know what Li Linfeng wanted to talk to him about, so he turned around and said respectfully, "Uncle."

Li Linfeng asked calmly, "I forgot to ask you just now, where did you learn this Nine Merit Brocade?"

Shen Qing thought that Li Linfeng cared about the difference in their social backgrounds, and his heart skipped a beat.

After thinking it over again and again, Shen Qing decided to tell the truth: "Uncle, no one taught me. I just practiced by looking at the pictures in the book. I never thought that I could cultivate my Qi and blood."

Li Linfeng's usually calm face also showed a trace of emotion, revealing a bit of doubt.

The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered all the military power, and the true path of martial arts was in the imperial court.

The cultivation methods they have are also kept very closely under control and they dare not show them to others easily.

The result of this is that, apart from the government and martial arts schools that obey the government's supervision, there is not much martial arts content available on the market.

Even if some martial arts content is occasionally leaked, there will be many secret codes or key points that only martial artists know.

It is neither difficult nor easy to learn introductory martial arts like Jiugongjin.

But it is not easy to practice well without someone to guide you.

Li Linfeng glanced at Shen Qing and continued, "In other words, you bought the Nine Merits Brocade outside? When you bought the book, didn't the person who sold it to you teach you some tricks?"

"I didn't buy this Nine Merits Brocade. I snatched it from someone else," Shen Qing explained.

Li Linfeng's fleshy face was stunned for a moment.

He was speechless as he could not understand how one could cultivate Qi and blood to such a level just by practicing according to the diagrams in the booklet.

This boy's comprehension is probably much higher than he expected.

Seeing that Li Linfeng didn't say anything, Shen Qing was afraid that he didn't believe it and would ruin his martial arts training plan, so he pointed at Shen Xiaohu beside him and said, "I stole the Jiugongjin from the Chen brothers. My cousin can also testify for me. I definitely didn't ask other martial arts schools for advice or someone taught me."

Shen Xiaohu quickly assured: "Yes, yes, this happened eight days ago. Our whole village knows it and can prove it."

"Eight days! Learning without a teacher?!"

No matter how calm Li Linfeng was on weekdays, his emotions couldn't help but fluctuate at this moment.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched tightly.

He knew very well what kind of crude stuff Jiugongjin was.

Some of the key points are so wrong that even a slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake.

Without anyone to guide you, you can be stuck on any key point for three to five months, and you won't be able to understand it unless you get hurt.

This level of understanding is simply monstrous.

I have found a treasure this time!
"That's good." Li Linfeng glanced at Shen Qing, hesitated and said, "Since you are already refining your qi and blood, you should take some prescriptions to consolidate it. Ah Fu!"

"master!"

In the front yard, the man with protruding brow ridges who opened the door for them at the beginning ran out hurriedly when he heard the summons, and stood respectfully in front of Li Linfeng with his back bent.

"He has already visited the inner courtyard. Go get him some good blood-replenishing medicine and boil it to replenish his blood."

Ah Fu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Master."

After explaining these things, Li Linfeng walked away without saying anything more.

Ah Fu turned around and said to Shen Qing, "Young Master, wait here for a while. I'll go get you some medicine."

Being addressed as Young Master for the first time, Shen Qing felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He didn't know the specific rules here, so he said modestly: "I'm not a young master. My name is Shen Qing, you can just call me Qingzi."

"Except for his own disciples, our master has never treated anyone like this. Those medicinal essences are very expensive. You are not a young master now, but you will definitely be a young master in the future."

Ah Fu smiled, without further explanation to Shen Qing, he put his hands in his sleeves and quickly ran to a small house in the front yard.

Personally?

Shen Qing was stunned.

Seeing this, Shen Xiaohu next to him murmured quietly: "I didn't expect that our uncle looks fierce, but he is actually a pretty good person!"

……

Shen Qing came out of Linfeng Hall, his mind full of things he had learned.

He didn't expect that he would have such an encounter.

When he returned to the street, he no longer envied the young men and women wearing silk. Seeing that it was already noon, Shen Qing went to the store to buy some steamed buns, and the three of them made do with lunch.

Then he went straight to the sundry goods market and sold the two animal-skin coats he had obtained from the Chen family, earning one tael and five cents of silver.

After doing all this, Shen Qing did not stay.

He used the money to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil, and bought a new cotton-padded jacket for his elder sister, thus improving their lives.

At this point, all the money had been basically spent, even the money originally earned from sales in the village had been spent.

But relatively speaking.

Today's trip to the county town was also very fruitful, and it confirmed his future martial arts training.

This alone is worth any amount of money.

As for the price that each household in the village sold hunters for, thanks to the generosity of the Chen family, he still had six or seven taels of silver, which was just enough to fill the gap.

After all this trouble, Shen Qing became "penniless" again and fell into a situation of lack of money.

After returning to the village, we must find a way to go hunting in the mountains more often to increase our income.

Shen Qing's consciousness moved, and the ink characters in front of him slowly emerged and expanded.

[Skill: Hunting (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: 89/200 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: Continuous practice can lead to comprehensive breakthroughs. There is a certain probability that some hunting skills will undergo transformation.]

There is still some progress gap.

Next, you must hurry up and improve your eating skills.

As the wheels collided with the rough stone road, Shen Qing, who was sitting on the bumpy cart, swayed and put away these thoughts.

In just a cup of tea, Shen Qing had leisurely crossed the noisy street and arrived at the city gate.

The city gates of Taiping County are closed five quarters before sunset, around three quarters after 3 p.m., which is approximately between five and six in the afternoon.

It was still bright in the sky, and it was obviously too early to close the city gates.

But Shen Qing didn't dare to leave the city too late.

It still takes some time to get back to Hongshanzhai from Taiping County.

When they arrived at the city gate, Shen Qing stopped and looked at the dilapidated shanties outside the city. His expression gradually became serious and frowned.

He thought for a moment and asked Zhang Shuyuan, "Can you drive for me?"

Zhang Shuyuan already knew that the two brothers had entered Linfeng Hall, so his attitude was much more restrained than before, and he was not so lazy: "What do you want to do?"

"After we leave the city, you drive." Shen Qing threw the reins to Zhang Shuyuan.

"What about you?"

Shen Qing took out the bow and arrows he got from the Chen brothers, tried them out and said, "Xiao Hu and I will both hold the bows and guard for a while. The outer city is in a mess, I am not too sure."

Thinking back to when they first arrived, they were surrounded by a group of disheveled people, and the bold ones would even make physical advances on them.

If someone had bad intentions, they would easily suffer a loss because the other party was outnumbered and powerful.

So if he takes precautions in advance, he will feel more at ease.

Shen Qing tried the elm bow in his hand. The workmanship was similar to the one in his home, and better than the one in Shen Xiaohu's hand now.

He did not hesitate or feel bad, and handed the other bow to Shen Xiaohu, saying, "After we leave the city, no matter who comes close to us and plots against us, you should shoot without any hesitation."

"You must act tough."

Having seen his cousin's abilities, Shen Xiaohu is now particularly impressed by Shen Qing. He nodded heavily and said, "I understand."

Shen Qing patted Zhang Shuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Sir, drive well. I will go to the mountains to hunt for some good stuff and reward you later."

After comforting her, Shen Qing hooked the arrow and put it on the string, only then did he feel at ease.

"Okay, let's get out of town now."
