Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 14 He gave too much!

Putting away his black hands, Chen Cheng had just wiped the sweat off his body when he suddenly heard a knock on the door of the courtyard.

"I don't know anyone here, who could it be?"

Chen Cheng opened the door with some doubts.

After opening the door, an old man wearing a royal blue hat and a chest-length beard was seen standing at the door, followed by two servants in civilian clothes.

The old man wearing a hat cupped his hands and asked with a gentle smile on his face.

"May I ask if this is the residence of Chen Cheng, an outside disciple of the gravel boxing gym?"

"I am, who is my father-in-law?"

Chen Cheng asked.

The old man had a suspicion in his mind when he opened the door. When he heard Chen Cheng admit it, the smile on his face became more enthusiastic.

"The little old man is Huang Gui, the second housekeeper of the Huang family in the east of the city. I heard that a young hero came out of the Gravel Boxing Gym recently, so I came to see him."

Chen Cheng looked at the two servants behind Huang Huanggui holding large and small packages of gifts, and the smile on his face immediately became more sincere.

"It turns out to be the Jinxiu Huatang. The Huang family is newly decorated. Please come in!"

The Huang family in the east of the city is a well-known silk family in Wangjiang City. The silk dyed under the name Jinxiu Huatang is in short supply. It is known that there is a saying that one eye of yellow brocade and one tael of gold.

One eye is one pound, and one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, enough to feed and drink a family of three for a year.

Huang Gui walked in with a smile and saw the iron wooden stakes in the yard and the iron pot that was obviously used for martial arts training. He still had the smile on his face, but he was even more satisfied in his heart.

The two servants behind him placed the four piles of gifts they were carrying on the table. Chen Cheng found some tea leaves and made two cups of tea, then sat down with Huang Gui in the main hall of the house.

Chen Cheng looked at the pile of gifts and couldn't help but ask
"I wonder what Butler Huang means by coming here today?"

Huang Gui took a sip of tea. These tea leaves were given by the boss when Chen Cheng bought something before. They were not considered good tea, just better than tea powder.

But there was no trace of disgust on Huang Gui's face and he replied

"I heard that the gravel boxing gym recently released a martial arts genius who broke the wooden dummy in ten days, so I came here to invite Brother Chen to join my Huang family and become a dedicated martial artist. "

"Join the Huang family? I don't quite understand what it means. Can Butler Huang explain it a little more clearly?"

Huang Gui heard the words and explained

"Brother Chen also knows that it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to become warriors."

"But compared to the ninth level of blood refining after gaining strength, these difficulties are nothing."

"Refining blood is like climbing a building, each level has a level of difficulty."

"The ninth level of blood refining, each level requires a lot of resources to increase the physical strength. If there is no support from the forces behind it, I am afraid that it will not be able to completely penetrate the qi and blood when the qi and blood decline."

Chen Cheng still didn't know what happened after entering Jin. This time, he learned from Huang Gui that the state after entering Jin turned out to be blood refining.

With a smile on his face, Huang Gui turned to look at Chen Cheng after telling him about the difficulty of refining blood.

"So this time I came to invite Brother Chen to join my Huang family, hoping to sign a five-year contract with Brother Chen. During the five years, my Huang family will provide ten pounds of meat needed for blood refining every month. There is also a salary of 100 taels of silver."

"Even if the contract is signed, Brother Chen does not have to stay at Huang's house all the time. He can still stay in the boxing gym and practice martial arts. He only needs to complete two tasks a year. Each task will get extra wages."

"This number will increase again after Brother Chen is promoted, and if Brother Chen is willing to join the Huang family full-time as a martial artist, this number can be doubled."

Chen Cheng pondered for a while. Practicing martial arts does cost money. In addition to buying bone tempering powder, in order to restore the consumed energy and blood, he had to eat a lot of meat every day.

In addition, he also had to charge the deprivation power, which caused money to be scattered like water. If the people from the Blackwater Gang hadn't sponsored some, he would be peeing blood now.

It would indeed be a lot easier if someone sponsored me.

The first condition offered by the Huang family is like taking a temporary position. Except for two missions a year, you can do whatever you need to do in normal times. You can take a temporary position with as many other forces as you want.

The second is to become a full-time martial artist who can only serve the Huang family.

He didn't know what the conditions offered by the Huang family were, so he politely said that he would think about it.

Huang Gui showed no anger at all, his eyes were full of confidence, he stood up and left with a smile, without taking away the gifts on the table.

After closing the door, Chen Cheng turned around and saw the four tall piles of gift boxes on the table, feeling a little curious.

He also wanted to know how much the door-to-door ceremony of others would be with his current status.

Opening the gifts, Chen Cheng found that the first pile of gifts were several boxes of snacks from Qiguozhai. Each box cost five taels of silver, and there were three boxes in the pile.

The second pile is a tea set, also from a shop famous for its exquisite porcelain, which costs about 20 taels.The other two boxes contained valuable medicinal materials such as ginseng and polygonum multiflorum. The four piles of gifts totaled about 100 taels.

After counting the gifts, Chen Cheng took a deep breath.

"As expected of the Huang family, they are indeed rich and powerful."

Chen Cheng was somewhat looking forward to the forces that would come to visit him next. If eight more families came to visit him, he would be able to get rich directly with the help of the door-to-door ceremony!

But then, the forces that were originally prepared to invest in Chen Cheng, the new genius of Gravel Fist, seemed to have stopped after learning that the Jinxiu Huang family had already visited.

Those who came were all small gangs and small forces. These small gangs also knew that the Jinxiu Huang family had been here, so they did not expect Chen Cheng to be a full-time or part-time job. They just used his name as a name.

Chen Cheng chose three small gangs with good reputations, and a month's offering was about 30 taels.

The next day, Chen Cheng practiced the Breaking Claw as usual, and Black Hand continued to practice the Stone Fist.

On the third day, Chen Cheng came to the gravel boxing gym.

After practicing boxing and applying lard ointment, senior brother Ma De came over.

"Brother, do you need something from me?"

Mader asked directly
"There should be other forces looking for you in the past two days, right?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

"The Jinxiu Huang family in the east of the city found me and said that they would sign a five-year contract and provide me with ten pounds of meat and 100 taels of wages every month."

"The boxing gym has no restrictions on its disciples, and the price offered by the Huang family is also very generous."

"I have never told you about what happens after entering Jin. After you practice the Gravel Fist to the point of cowhide, you can condense Qi and blood and accelerate Qi and blood. This stage is called Entering Jin."

"After a powerful warrior learns to speed up his energy and blood and carry it in sections, he can defeat twenty powerful men in a head-on battle."

"After entering the energy, it's time to refine the blood."

Ma De looked at Chen Cheng who was listening carefully, and his desire to be a teacher was fully encouraged.

"I have said before that qi and blood are closely related to physical strength. Cultivation after entering Jin is to continuously improve physical strength."

"Enhancing energy is to integrate the qi and blood of the whole body, and refining blood is to increase the quality."

"The increment means that within the same period of time, the more energy and blood you have, the more force you can carry."

"When the quality enhancement is the same energy and blood, the higher the quality, the more power it can carry."

Ma De looked at the dozens of students sweating profusely and exercising in the courtyard, and suddenly asked

"Do you know what the probability is that a disciple from the outer sect of the Gravel Boxing Gym can enter the inner sect?"

Chen Cheng recalled his data after entering the martial arts gym and said with some uncertainty.
"About fifty into one?"

Ma De smiled slightly

"To be precise, it's 160 into one."

"Not everyone can become a warrior. Take the ten pounds of meat that the Huang family provides you every month. The Huang family's meat is called Colorful Golden Snake Meat. It not only has a delicious taste with a floral aroma, but is also rich in energy. One pound will allow you to practice martial arts for three days without eating."

"A pound of meat like this is worth ten taels of silver in the market. Ten pounds per month is 100 taels. Including wages, it is 200 taels per month."

"And for a family of three, if all three people work, they can earn almost one tael of silver a month."

"You alone are treated as well as six hundred people. Do you still think that becoming a warrior is easy?"

Things are rare and valuable. Through such comparisons made by his senior brother, Chen Cheng suddenly understood the power of warriors.

"Of course, the reason why the Huang family paid such a high price is because they think you will be more than interested in you in the future. I guess after the Huang family came to visit, there shouldn't be any other forces coming, right?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

"That's because an ordinary martial artist only pays 50 taels a month, and the price the Huang family pays you is four times that of an ordinary martial artist!"

Chen Cheng sighed and took a breath.

Originally, he just wanted to ignore what was going on outside the window and concentrate on practicing martial arts.

but!The money given by the Huang family is too much!
