I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

Lock the door.

Zhou Shan left the shanty town and headed to Ping'an Fang.

The shanty town is the outermost area of ​​Baisha County, and the people living here are the lower class untouchables.

On weekdays, even official patrols would take a detour, and Ping'an Fang is located close to the inner city. Both the environment and order are much better than those in shantytowns.

The streets and alleys are paved with bluestones. Unlike shantytowns, once it rains, the roads will become muddy and full of potholes, and the shoes and legs of people coming and going will be covered with yellow mud.

The houses on both sides of Ping'an Fang Street are separate courtyards.

According to the address given by Huang Yan, Zhou Shan came to a nice house with a dark door and a lock.

Bang bang bang——

Zhou Shan grabbed the lock and clicked the door panel.

After a while, Zhou Shan heard footsteps approaching in the courtyard.

Crunch!

The door opened from the inside, revealing only a gap.

"Who are you?"

A handsome young man stood inside. He looked at Zhou Shan warily and asked.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Wang Xuan? Huang Yan introduced me here."

Zhou Shan said with a smile.

"I'm here to buy the secret book, five hundred coins, no bargaining." The handsome young man Wang Xuan said calmly: "If you want it, I will get the secret book, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand, but the ugly words are ahead. The secrets I sell are 100% authentic. You can verify them with people who have come to the martial arts studio to learn martial arts before. As for whether you succeed in learning martial arts, it has nothing to do with me. "

"OK!"

Zhou Shan nodded.

"Wait."

Wang Xuan closed the door again.

Zhou Shan continued to wait outside the door.

Not long after, Wang Xuan opened the door again, took out a secret book in his hand and said: "Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand."

"for you!"

Zhou Shan took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to the other party, then took the secret book from the other party's hand.

Wang Xuan immediately opened the money bag and counted the number of copper coins in it, while Zhou Shan also quickly looked through the secret book. After confirming that it was not a wordless heavenly book, he put the secret book into his arms and put it away, waiting to take a closer look when he returned.

"The transaction is completed. If you can't achieve anything in your practice, don't come to me."

After confirming that there were five hundred coins in the purse, Wang Xuan closed the door with a bang.

…

…

"Bring me two hundred kilograms of firewood."

After leaving Pinganfang, Zhou Shan came to Chaishi.

The fish market specializes in buying and selling all kinds of catches, while the firewood market is a place where firewood and charcoal are bought and sold.

Compared to fishermen, woodcutter work is more tiring and difficult.

The woodcutter who goes to the mountains to collect firewood has to go out almost before dawn. He has to walk more than ten miles, climb mountains and ridges to collect firewood and work. When he comes back, he has to carry more than 100 kilograms of firewood, but the fisherman can at least carry his catch. Put it on the boat.

The only advantage is that the woodcutter can at least ensure that he can get enough firewood every day, but if the fisherman is unlucky, he won't be able to catch many fish in a day. Not every fisherman has Zhou Shan's skills.

"Eighty cents!"

The store clerk said.

The firewood market is similar to the fish market. There are shops of the firewood gang. The firewood cut by the woodcutter is sold to the firewood gang, who sells it uniformly.

"Eighty cents, has it increased so much?"

Zhou Shan frowned slightly.

For a long time, the price of firewood has rarely increased, only two cents per pound.

But now twenty pounds costs eighty cents, which has doubled.

"I can't help it. I heard that a mountain demon has appeared in the mountains recently. A group of woodcutter who cut firewood have disappeared in the mountains north of the city. Many woodcutter are too afraid to go to the mountains to cut firewood. Only a few are brave enough to take advantage of the wood. If you take risks and make more money, you can dare to go out of the city to chop firewood and carry firewood on the mountains north of the city.”

The store clerk explained.

"Troll monster!"

Hearing this, Zhou Shan said nothing more and took out eighty coins.

In this world, ordinary people live a very difficult life. When fishing, they will encounter water monsters. When they go to the mountains to cut firewood, they will encounter mountain monsters. Even if they are farming, they are still working for the landlord. No matter what they do, it is not easy.

Only by becoming a warrior can one become a master of human beings and have the strength to kill monsters.

Carrying twenty kilograms of firewood on his back, Zhou Shan left the firewood market.

When passing by a rice shop, he walked in and bought twenty kilograms of brown rice.

Rice is more expensive than firewood, six times as much. Original firewood costs two cents per catty, while polished rice costs twelve cents per catty, and even brown rice costs four cents per catty.

Ordinary people buy brown rice.

Only some well-off families eat polished rice.

Under normal circumstances, if a farmer has a few acres of fertile land of his own, does not encounter any natural disasters, and has a normal harvest, his life will be much better than that of a woodcutter or fisherman, and it will also be safer.

When Shiifu often goes up the mountain, he may encounter some ferocious beasts or even mountain monsters. When fishermen catch fish, there is also a certain risk. The water monster may overturn the fishing boat and kill him in the river.

But in today's world, more than 90% of the land is in the hands of landlords. Ordinary people can only become tenants and barely make ends meet. If the harvest is not good, they still have to pay rent. If they have no money, they have to sell their land. Selling girls.

Twenty pounds of brown rice is eighty cents.

Then, Zhou Shan bought salt, sesame oil, vinegar and other seasonings.

These things are consumed every day for cooking.

On the way, he encountered a stall selling vegetables and fruits, and Zhou Shan spent more than ten cents to buy some more vegetables.

As for meat, ordinary people simply can't afford it.

Pork and mutton are both as high as fifty or sixty coins per pound, and beef is as high as one hundred coins per pound. Ordinary people only buy one or two pounds of pork occasionally during festivals.

…

…

"Turtle Breathing Skill!"

After returning home, Zhou Shan took out the martial arts secret book he bought and read it carefully.

The characters in this world are different from the Chinese characters on Blue Star. After three months of literacy, Zhou Shan has basically mastered the commonly used characters in this world. Otherwise, even if he obtained the martial arts secret book, he would be blind.

Turtle Breathing Skill is divided into six levels.

The first to third levels are mainly to transport qi and blood, strengthen the body, and adjust one's internal breath, so that one can dive underwater for a long time. The fourth to sixth levels contain the method of training meat and grinding skin. While training the strength, one's skin and flesh can be as hard as tortoise shells, becoming invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire.

"If you want to move the Qi and blood, you must first sense the Qi and blood in your body."

Zhou Shan made a fist stand according to the method recorded in the Turtle Breathing Technique, with his knees slightly bent and his limbs looking loose. At first glance, he looked like a giant turtle standing up.

Breathe!

After making a fist stand, Zhou Shan concentrated his mind and breathed according to the breathing rhythm in the Turtle Breathing Technique, and began to sense the Qi and blood in his body with a unique breathing method.
