Fantasy: Simplify the skills and become a master from a minion

At dusk:

The clanging sound of knocking ends.

[You have completed the first condition of the two-handed mantis sword! ]

Huh!

Chu Qing let out a sigh of relief; he finally got one condition done.

For the rest, he only needed to catch some mantises to get it done.

At this time, it was getting late, and he was going to leave.

Result:

There was a commotion outside the door.

Not long after, Xiao Taohong said happily;

"Mrs. Shi is here!"

Mrs. Shi is the real sky of Shiji County.

Her coming over made Mrs. Jin feel relieved.

Seeing Mrs. Shi, Chu Qing's heart moved.

He pretended to leave.

As a result, Mrs. Shi glanced at the maid.

Someone called Fengnv, with a stern face, handed him a small box:

"Here!"

Chu Qing opened the box expressionlessly.

Well, it's good, it's a secret medicine.

Or two portions.

Not a small amount.

Watch the show!

Must watch.

Ten minutes later, in the study:

Mrs. Shi was in a costume and makeup.

With a flick of her sleeves, she began to sing in a coquettish and humming voice.

Chu Qing was not actually interested in opera.

But, Madam Shi gave too much.

So, he had to be serious.

At the end of the song, Chu Qing clapped and gave Madam Shi some silver as a reward.

Madam Shi was happy and thanked her coquettishly, then squatted down to pick up the silver.

She bowed again and then floated away.

Madam Jin wondered, "Even if thousands of taels of silver fell on the ground, Madam Shi would not pick it up."

"But why would she pick up what you threw?"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "She completely put herself into the identity of an opera actor."

"So, even if I threw a copper coin, she would thank me and pick it up."

Madam Jin was at a loss, she didn't understand.

A little:

Madam Jin sent Madam Shi away, and after returning, she said to Chu Qing strangely, "Madam Shi said that she will perform opera at this time tomorrow."

"She also said that she hopes you can be a real opera listener; not just pretending."

Chu Qing was speechless.

I listened to the opera seriously and gave her tips. Is this called pretending?

Mrs. Jin added: "She also said: If you can't satisfy her next time, you will never have the chance to listen to the opera again."

Chu Qing was at a loss.

Mrs. Jin was even more at a loss.

Night fell:

In the bare room:

Chu Qing moved around and practiced Mantis Fist:

[Copper tendons +001]

[Copper tendons +001]

The progress of the Mantis Fist without the help of secret medicine is quite touching.

He was used to rapid improvement and couldn't accept it.

Swallow the secret medicine.

[Copper tendons +01]

Chu Qing was speechless.

He used Toad Kung Fu to accumulate energy.

However:

[Copper tendons +01]

"The effect of the secret medicine has dropped sharply!"

"This is just copper tendons."

"If you want to upgrade to silver tendons, or even gold tendons, how many secret medicines do you need to swallow?"

"How long does it take to practice?"

"No wonder Master Liu, and even He Qi, only practiced iron tendons and didn't practice copper tendons."

"The input and the return are not proportional."

For a moment, Chu Qing wanted to give up improving iron tendons.

But, he thought of what Tang Wuming said: The higher the tendons and bones are improved, the more promising they will be in the future.

"If you want to quickly practice gold tendons, the best way is to swallow mangosteen pearls."

He learned from Tang Wuming:

One mangosteen pearl is worth ten thousand taels of silver.

If you want to practice 365 gold tendons, you need at least 180+ pearls.

Just thinking about it makes him feel dizzy.

"Forget it, take your time."

"In less than a month, I have trained 180 iron bars; even if I practice hard to improve, it won't take long!"

In the dead of night:

Chu Qing washed up, covered his face, and went straight to Li Pharmacist's medicine shop.

Result:

When he arrived at the destination, he was confused.

Because: Li Pharmacist's house was empty.

Where is he?

Did he run away with my secret medicine?

Or was he killed in the chaos these days?

Where did the Toad Secret Medicine go?

I felt uneasy and looked around the room.

The room was clean and many clothes were there.

But, all the herbs in the shop were gone.

Chu Qing had a headache, and he couldn't tell whether they ran away or were beaten to death.

He hesitated and went to the next door.

Next door was a young couple.

Chu Qing kindly woke them up and asked directly:

"Did Pharmacist Li die?"

The young couple was terrified. They trembled and quickly explained:

"The night before yesterday, a group of people came and took Pharmacist Li away."

"Do you know who they were?"

The young couple shook their heads frantically and said, "We closed the doors and windows at the time and didn't know anything."

Chu Qing nodded and turned away.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that Pharmacist Li was not killed but taken away by someone.

As long as people are still alive, he has hope.

"That's the gift of nature that I worked hard to earn!"

"No matter where you are, I will find you."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Chu Qing, using the dragonfly skimming the water, crossed the streets and alleys and headed straight out of the county town.

At this time:

There were many disaster victims outside the county town. Many people had finished their dry food and began to eat insects, wild vegetables, and even leaves.

As for the mantis, it was eaten up.

Chu Qing had to go further away.

It was not until he entered Shiji Mountain that he caught enough mantises.

[You have completed the second condition of the Mantis Sword! ]

[The two-handed mantis sword has been promoted successfully. ]

The next second, hundreds of mantises turned into flying ash, submerging the sword.

[Kung Fu: Mastering the Two-handed Mantis Sword - Practice it a thousand times a day, swallow secret medicine, and become proficient in a thousand days. ]

[Promotion conditions: 1: flick the sword a million times, 2: slash three thousand mantises with the sword. ]

Chu Qing was speechless.

This sword skill improvement is inseparable from the mantis?

In the current situation, it won’t take long before all the mantises around are eaten up.

We must hurry up to get the second condition.

Swish!

He raised the long sword and prepared to cut the mantis.

Crash!

Ashes fell from the sword.

Chu Qing was stunned.

Because he found that the sword had changed.

The previous cloud pattern disappeared, replaced by a mantis-like mark.

Wipe.

The sword body was smooth, and the mantis mark seemed to be born on it.

He waved the long sword and flicked the sword body.

"Except for looking better, it seems that there is no change."

If it doesn't affect the use, then don't worry about it.

He held the sword in both hands and shuttled through the grass, looking for mantises.

Although it was night, relying on the characteristics of Toad Kung Fu, he had amazing eyesight and extraordinary hearing.

Soon he found a mantis hiding on a leaf.

Swing the sword!

Whoosh!

With a flash of cold light, the mantis was split into two.

[Sword cut mantis +1]

Very good.

Keep going!

Chu Qing picked up a 1.5-meter-long sword and chopped hard.

[Sword cut mantis +1]

[Sword cut mantis +1]

At dawn:

He cut more than a thousand mantises, and the progress was close to half.

"Try harder and try to get it done before night."

Although he didn't sleep all night, his energy was still strong.

Moreover, even if he was tired, he only needed to perform Toad Kung Fu to restore his energy.

He was just a little hungry.

One hour

Five hours

Ten hours

Until dusk, the occupation column flashed:

[You cut three thousand mantises with a sword; complete the second condition. 】

Huh!

Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, this condition was met before the victims ate all the mantises.

He wiped the long sword, put it on his back, and headed straight for Shiji County.

There were more victims outside the city.

Some victims died in the wind and rain due to illness.

The soldiers and government offices in the county did not care and let the victims gather.

There were dense crowds of people under the recruitment platforms of the forts, wealthy families, and gangs.

Countless people wanted to sell themselves into slavery.

As a result, only a few met the conditions.

Some victims cursed and were full of resentment.

Chu Qing frowned secretly: "If this continues, I'm afraid something will happen."
