At The Beginning, The True Spirit Is Immortal, And The Talent Adds Some Physical Body.

A month later, New Year's Eve has passed, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is approaching, and the entire Acropolis is still immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

"Hey, brother Qingfeng, are you interested in following me to Qingshui Street to play?"

"Qingshui Street, where is that? I've never heard of it, what's so fun about it? I won't go!"

"No! Brother Qingfeng, let me tell you that Qingshui Street over the East City Gate is no less than a fairyland on earth. Recently, Qingshui Street has produced several specialties. The mahjong is very fun, and there is also a new soap. My name is Soap."

"It's used for bathing. My body is slippery and clean. And the girl from Chunfeng Tower. Oh, I heard she sprayed a new type of perfume on her body. Not to mention how beautiful it is. I guarantee you will fall in love with it as soon as you go there. of."

Gu Pang was walking on the road, holding a thick hard book in his hand. He heard two young men in robes and luxurious clothes talking about Qingshui Street. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he ran back to Qingshui quickly. street.

"Boss, here are this month's account books. We collected a full 20,000 taels of silver this month, a monthly payment of 20,000 taels!" The fat man reported to Chen Cuo happily.

"It's almost as I expected. Have you collected all the banknotes? Have the brothers' money and workers' wages been paid?"

"Don't worry, boss. It's all done. Each of the brothers has ten taels of silver, and the workers' wages have been paid to each of them two taels of silver."

"Take the eight thousand taels of silver notes and let's go and pay New Year's greetings to the old man. Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and he should have returned from the headquarters."

Stable Rock Gang is still very humane. Every year during the New Year's Eve, of course you stay up with your family on New Year's Eve. You also have to pay respect to your ancestors on the first day of the new year. The second and third days of the new year are the days when the big bosses go to the gang leader for a banquet. .

Small bosses are not eligible to participate, but on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year you will have to visit your boss and hand in your monthly payment for a quarter.

Fan Wufeng has four streets under his control, Qingshui Street run by Chen Cuo, Qingshui Street run by Fan Ming, and Baima Street with an intersection, run by their two senior brothers Lei Wen and Lei Wu.

Lei Wu has now been transferred to the outer hall of the headquarters to serve as foreign affairs, so Lei Wen is actually in charge of White Horse Street.

Chen Cuo brought Gu Pang to Fan Wufeng's compound. Except for a few personal guards and old servants who cooked food, Fan Wufeng gave all the other handymen a day off.

When Chen Cuo arrived, Lei Wen had already arrived and was talking to Fan Wufeng. As for Fan Ming, he was still slumped on the bed.

"I would like to express my New Year greetings to the master. I wish the master good health and everything goes well."

"I've also met Senior Brother Lei Wen."

After Chen Cuo entered the house, he knelt down and knelt to pay New Year greetings with a smile on his face.

"You kid, if you cause me less trouble, I'll be happy." Fan Wufeng chuckled twice and said to Chen Cuo.

Lei Wen also had a smile on his face. Fan Ming had a conflict with Chen Cuo. He also knew that he also disliked Fan Ming very much, so Chen Cuo crippled him all of a sudden. He felt a little happy in his heart. In the past, he felt Chen Cuo is cowardly and timid, but he didn't expect that he was actually pretending.

"Hehehe, with this thing, I promise you everything will go well, master." Chen Ke stretched out his hand, took out eight thousand taels of silver notes from his arms, and said, "Master, this is this month's monthly payment."

Lei Wu was dumbfounded on the sidelines, eight thousand taels? How is this possible with one month’s worth of money!

The business on Qingshui Street has never been as good as his, not even as good as Qingshui Street. How come this junior brother collected 8,000 taels of silver in a month? He couldn't be robbing shops, right?

Of course Fan Wufeng knew why? Of course, what Chen Cuo did could not be hidden from him, and he never wanted to hide it from him. He just felt that this young apprentice was really a talent...

"Well, I understand. How much did you get those things for?"

"The cost is quite high and it takes a lot of time, so I kept some silver coins to continue to expand production. Master, you don't mind, do you?"

Of course, Chen Cuo couldn't hide his business from anyone, but only he and Fatty knew all the production materials, and he didn't intend to let everyone know that these things actually cost little.

Let the cost be higher so as not to make more people jealous.

"Chen Cuo, wrong, I know that you were seriously ill because of the death of your mother. Later, because of your livelihood, you came out to join the gang. You also avenged your boss and made contributions to the Stable Rock Gang, but you chose to take care of the gang of your old boss. Brothers, there is love and justice.”

"You have your own ideas. Of course I don't mind. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the gang. You bet with me last month. Now that you have done an excellent job, I will agree to your request and combine Qingshui Street and "Iron Cloak"." "here you are."

Fan Wufeng clapped his hands, and Uncle Chang, the bodyguard and butler of the house, came over personally carrying a tray.

Chen Cuo took it and looked at it. There were two martial arts booklets on it, as well as agreements signed by many shops on Qingshui Street and Stable Rock Gang.

There are two martial arts booklets, one is "Iron Cloak Kung Fu" and the other is "Six-fused Blades", which Fan Ming has used.

"Master, what is this?"

Fan Wufeng did not say it directly, but asked: "Is your "Iron-Sand Palm" already Great Accomplishment?"

It turned out that because of the conflict between Fan Ming and Chen Cuo, he only heard that Chen Cuo had beaten Fan Ming to a disability, but did not know the true situation at that time. When he asked later, he found out that Chen Cuo had beaten Fan Ming with one palm. Half dead, I guessed whether his Iron-Sand Palm had reached the Great Accomplishment state.

The realms of Qigong practice include entry, Basic Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, and perfection.

Once the practice of "Iron-Sand Palm" is completed, both palms and forearms will become as blue as iron.

Due to Chen Cuo's system, his method of training "Iron-Sand Palm" is not to rely on drugs and iron sand, but to build proficiency. The color of his palms did not change so much that Fan Wufeng couldn't tell.

"Yes, Master, I have revised "Iron-Sand Palm" to Great Accomplishment."

When Fan Wufeng heard the answer, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I have already taught this sword technique to Lei Wen, Lei Wu, and Fan Ming. Of course, I will teach it to you too." Fan Wufeng looked at Chen Cuo and felt that the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Why didn't he open his eyes and accept Fan Ming in the first place? Ming is the adopted son.

He wanted to speak, but Raven was also there, so after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

"Thank you, Master!" Chen Cuo was flattered and happily thanked Fan Wufeng again.

"Okay, let's sit down and eat. The three of us, master and apprentice, will have a good New Year."

--Dividing line--

Two months later.

"Stronger, harder! Haven't you eaten?" Chen Cuo was shirtless, surrounded by seven or eight young men holding huge wooden sticks, breathing heavily.

Obvious bruises could be seen on his body, and with a painful look on his face, large drops of sweat fell to the ground. However, his tone was still strong and he motioned for everyone to continue beating his body.

But the brother beside him had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. Hong Feng even said: "Boss is dying. Brothers have been fighting for an hour. They can't stand it anymore. We really need to take a rest."

Hong Feng's tone was implicitly complaining at this time, but the complainer was not Chen Cuo, but the fat man Gu Pang. It was his turn to help the boss practice the skills today, but he actually ran away privately and asked himself to top the tank.

"Forget it, you guys should go down and have a rest. Get ten taels of silver to have a good meal. Dingxiang, are you ready for my medicinal bath?" Chen Cuo turned around and said towards the room.

"Don't worry, boss, it's all cooked."

After hearing the answer, Chen Cuo quickly returned to the house, mixed the prepared medicinal solution with water, poured it into the bath bucket, drove the cloves out, immediately got in, and started the "Iron Cloak Kung Fu".

""Iron Cloak Skill" proficiency +13."

""Iron Cloak Skill" proficiency +17."

""Iron Cloak Skill" proficiency +10."

Messages flashed by one by one. The muscles on Chen Cuo's body were like bricks, stacked layer by layer, and the entire skin turned into a simple gray color, as if it was as shiny as pig iron.

Finally, after the last trace of the medicine was absorbed, the system prompted.

""Iron Cloak Skill" (3500/3500), perfect."

[Awakening the "Iron Cloak Skill" Talent? ]

"yes!"

The 4 destiny points disappeared, and after a strange itching sensation in the body, something seemed to change all over the body.

[Congratulations to the host for awakening Talent "Iron Cloak"]

[Iron Cloak: The skin condenses into invisible Iron Cloak, which can reduce external damage by 30%]

Chen Cuo touched the skin on his body. It was as tight as the old skin of an animal. It felt a little rough, but there seemed to be no change on the surface. As for the invisible Iron Cloak mentioned by the system, he did not see it.

Reducing external damage should refer to the damage caused by attacking the physical body. The power can be reduced by 30%, which is comparable to a divine skill.

Chen Cuo picked up the knife and slashed it on his arm, leaving only a white mark. He only felt a little numb and itchy. Although he didn't use any force, the Yanling Knife was a precious knife that could blow and break hair.

Such an effect is surprising.
