Taoist master wants to ascend

Fatty Sun is back.

Li Yuan learned the news early the next morning and couldn't help being shocked.

Others might think that Fatty Sun was visiting relatives with the second shopkeeper, but he naturally knew that was not the case.

Especially after learning that Fatty Sun came back alone last night and was immediately picked up by Cao Yan, he became even more confident.

"problem occurs!"

Putting down the forging hammer, Li Yuan hurried back to the middle courtyard without saying a word, and saw Fatty Sun, who was in despair and was so thin that he lost his appearance.

"you……"

Before Li Yuan could ask, Sun Hao had already rushed over to him, hugging him and crying loudly, with tears streaming down his face.

"..."

Li Yuan opened his hands and waited until the crying gradually subsided, then asked:

"What happened on the way? Why did you come back alone? Where is the second shopkeeper?"

"Come on, something happened."

Fatty Sun's face was ashen as he muttered back and forth.

Li Yuan couldn't bear it, raised his hand and slapped him:

"What happened?"

Fatty Sun was beaten so hard that he staggered and fell on the chair, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably:

"My brother-in-law, brother-in-law... was arrested?"

"...caught by whom?"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and he almost observed a moment of silence.

"Captured by...people from the Viper Gang."

Fatty Sun seemed to have just come back to his senses, with a look of bitterness and worry on his face: "He, his injuries are so serious, what should I do? What should I do..."

The Viper Gang?

Li Yuan was doubtful.

The Viper Gang is a group of bandits entrenched outside Bishui Lake. It is said that there are thousands of people and it is quite powerful. However, it has never disturbed the town. It is said that it has close ties with several people in the city.

At least, they shouldn't take the initiative to provoke the blacksmith shop.

The power of Blacksmith Shop radiates to all counties and villages, and can even sell goods to Zhelong Mansion. Its power is not inferior to that of the Viper Gang.

The inner courtyard conducts assessments every three years. There are at least seven or eight batches of apprentices ahead of Yue Yunjin and others...

"How did you come back?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Although Fatty Sun cried uncontrollably, he and the fat man spent many days together, and he always felt that the fat man did not mean what he said.

Being coerced?

"I took advantage of the darkness and defeated the bandits who were keeping watch and escaped!"

He was indeed being coerced!

Li Yuan felt enlightened and asked, "If you say that, can the shopkeeper believe it?"

"he……"

Fatty Sun was slumped, his face full of eagerness and it didn't look like he was faking it: "He doesn't believe it either, but, but it's true!"

Li Yuan was a little shaken by his behavior. He didn't remember that this fat man was so good at acting:

"How many people are you traveling with?"

"There are twenty-three people traveling with us, thirteen of whom are from the Changyuan Escort Agency..."

"Then why should you escape?"

Li Yuan felt that he had figured it out. The fat man must have been put back on purpose.

Changyuan Escort Agency also deals in martial arts, and it is one of the three major martial arts schools in the inner city. There are at least five or six internally powerful martial artists. They have been working as escorts for many years and have rich experience. Fajiu Shan and his entourage were not injured before.

They failed and lost a cook. Who can believe it?

"I, how do I know?"

Fatty Sun was a little anxious.

Cao Yan said the same thing, why didn't anyone believe him?

Li Yuan knew that something was probably going on here, but he didn't ask any more questions and patted him on the shoulder, "Please wait a minute. I'll go cook and see how thin you are."

Fatty Sun ‘sucked’ his nose back:

“Put more fat on it!”

…

Li Yuan went to the kitchen to cook a table of dishes for Fatty Sun, and then went to the kitchen to borrow a pot of wine.

But even though he was drunk, Fatty Sun still used the same rhetoric, confusing and confusing, and it seemed that he was indeed not telling a lie.

"Sleep well."

After helping Sun Hao to the bed and covering him with a quilt, Li Yuan went out, but saw Cao Yan arriving at the door without knowing it.

"Big shopkeeper?"

Li Yuan really didn't notice it, and he couldn't help being surprised.

This was the first time he saw Cao Yan up close. He felt that his breathing was long and light, almost nonexistent. He was clearly neither tall nor strong, but it made him feel like he was facing an evil tiger.

No, he can kill evil tigers now. Is this a monster?

"Li Yuan?"

Cao Yan glanced at the inner room where he was already snoring: "I heard from Mr. Zhang that you have perfected your blacksmithing skills? Are you sure you can make a top-grade sharp blade?"

"Back to the big shopkeeper, this is my first time making it, so I really don't have much confidence..."

Li Yuan lowered his head slightly.

"Don't be afraid. If you succeed, you will succeed. If you fail, it will be easy to practice. You are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Cao Yan reached out and patted his shoulder with a gentle tone:

"If you can really make a superior blade, I will reward you privately!"

After that, he turned around and left.

"Reward?"

Patting the non-existent dust on his shoulders, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and for a moment, his hair stood on end.

The martial arts skills of this big shopkeeper are at least two levels higher than Qin Xiong's!

"What do you mean there will be plenty of opportunities in the future?"

…

"call!"

After forging for a day, when it was getting dark, Li Yuan put down the forging hammer, sealed the fire and went home.

There are still very few pedestrians in the city. From time to time, patrolling city guards and government officials can be seen, and few vendors are still setting up their stalls at this time.

Li Yuan looked normal and bought some rice noodles and other things to carry. From time to time, government officials passed by, but no one questioned him. The murderous maniac Nian Jiu reappeared.

What does it have to do with him, a law-abiding apprentice in the inner courtyard of the blacksmith shop?

When passing through Chai Yu Fang, he saw Liang Ashui.

Liang Ah Shui, who had disappeared for several months, attracted a lot of attention when he appeared. However, this time he was not here to sell spiritual fish, but was in a hurry.

He passed through the crowd and went straight to the Four Seasons Medicine Hall.

"I heard that his qi and blood have already been strengthened. Are you going to buy medicine to boost your internal energy?"

Li Yuan glanced at it, didn't care, and went to his second brother's house with rice and noodles.

He is too busy every day to cook. He eats breakfast on the road, eats a big pot of rice in the inner courtyard at noon, and eats this meal at his second brother's house in the evening.

From time to time, he would bring chicken, duck, fish, rice and noodles, but he was worried that the two of them were used to saving and would be reluctant to eat.

Pregnant people need nourishment even more.

In his previous life, although he had not learned much about reciting sutras and drawing talismans, his skills in midwifery and inducing births were top-notch. If anyone had a difficult birth, he would go there wearing a black cloth and blindfolding his eyes to ensure the safety of mother and child.

For a time, that was how he supported himself.

It was not until later that everyone went to big hospitals to give birth, that Master Dao had no choice but to be laid off and went home to open a small supermarket.

"My appetite is getting bigger and bigger. My second brother and sister-in-law don't even eat as much as I do in one meal in a day. I have to buy more after that..."

After eating to half full, Li Yuan said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law and went home.

After closing the courtyard door and the room door, he took out a blood energy pill.

"It requires too much medicine to change the bones. I'm afraid the pills on my body may not be enough."

After taking a look at the fat field mouse that was squeaking, Li Yuan raised his head and swallowed the elixir. When the medicine's power surged in his abdomen, the familiar feeling came back again.

Restless blood, rapid circulation, consumption of medicinal power...

Then came the itching and burning that penetrated deep into his bones and made him unbearable.

"The human spirit likes to be pure, but the mind is disturbed; the human mind likes to be calm, but the desire leads to it. It can always relieve its desires, and the mind will be calm, clear the heart, and the spirit will be pure. Naturally, the six desires will not arise, and the three poisons will be eliminated...

Damn, it doesn’t work! "

Li Yuan tried to recite the Jing Jing Sutra silently, but after reciting a few words, he couldn't help but beat the ground, stood up, rushed out the door and jumped into the large water tank.

The water was rolling, and Li Daoye regretted that he was too undisciplined in his previous life and failed to learn Taoist static skills.

But he suspected that this kind of itching would have to be scratched even if the Patriarch came...

After enduring it for an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan, who was almost exhausted, crawled out of the vat and lay weakly on the ground again. After the soreness and itching, he felt comfortable all over.

The transformation of the bones does not happen overnight, but Li Yuan can feel the changes in himself every time he takes the pill.

His fingers became slender, and the muscles that became somewhat obvious due to practicing the hammer stance became stronger, smoother, and less obvious.

He seems to have grown taller.

"Once every three days at most, otherwise, my body won't be able to bear it... Well, this hardship is not in vain. I'm practicing martial arts. I guess I'm about to get started?"

Looking at the bright moon, Li Yuan felt his own changes, or in other words, the harvest of self-abuse.

He tried the Qixing Henglian Shen on the day he started it. He suffered a lot, but the progress was excruciatingly slow. On the contrary, when the root bones were modified, the progress of Henglian improved.

Li Yuan estimated that horizontal training itself is a process of making muscles and bones strong and strong through hard work. The bones are being transformed, and horizontal training will naturally progress.

"It's still one or two times before I can get started. If I want to master it, I'm afraid it may not be enough even if I take all the medicine... However, I should have skipped the wooden stick beating.

The second layer should be iron sand body massage? "

As soon as Li Yuan moved, his whole body shivered with pain, and he felt that his bones were colliding and fighting.

Once a muscle or bone is injured, it can take hundreds of days to recover, let alone such a drastic transformation. More importantly, he doesn't have many elixirs...

"Sparse your medicine. Sooner or later, when you are promoted to the Master of Arms, you have to pay more attention."

Lying on his back, Li Yuan was thinking about something.

In the past two days, he had casually asked Zhang Bi about red gold, but red gold was not a currency at all. He once had some, and it was just for forging weapons.

There were many people with red gold in Gaoliu County, but the only one he could be sure of was Cao Yan.

"He said that there will be a reward after forging a superior blade..."

Yawning, Li Yuan was quite sleepy, but still thinking.

With the blessing of the Great Craftsman's Hammer, I have been confident of forging a high-quality blade for a few days. The reason for slowing down is because I am worried that my forging talent is too good and Cao Yan will not let him go.

He had never experienced this kind of thing, but he had heard of it a lot in his previous life.

But he didn't expect that he might encounter something like this before he even made a superior blade...

"Maybe I'm overthinking it?"

After resting for a while, Li Yuan stood up with his trembling hands and feet, washed the mud off his body, and went back to the house to lie down.

But he made up his mind.

Just build this piece of soft armor and try to obtain red gold from Cao Yan. After that, you will naturally 'fail' several times...

"You can also build the inner armor slowly. It's your first time making a high-grade sharp blade. Can't you be careful and take your time?"

With muttering, Li Yuan fell into a deep sleep.

…

Li Yuan took a day off and went home without daring to look at the old Zhangtou who was blowing his beard and staring.

"Lao San, you didn't go to work?"

Li Lin was a little surprised when he came back and almost thought he was sick.

"I took a day off and planned to accompany you to the inner city."

Li Yuan answered.

Cao Yan's words yesterday made him a little worried, but they were indeed true. In the past eight months, apart from blacksmithing and martial arts training, he had only been studying, and his spirit was really too tense.

Now that Qin Xiong's threat was gone, he was ready to take it easy.

"That's fine. Seeing you working all day long makes your second brother feel so sad!"

Wang Juan's face was much softer, and her belly was slightly bulging, but not obvious.

"Okay, let's go around, pull some cloth, buy some anti-fetal medicine, and then go to the Bodhisattva Temple..."
