Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

"This jade pendant is of good quality, but it's worth six taels of silver at most. The pawn price is three taels of silver, and it's enough for one or two months."

"I have been busy for three months and can only earn less than one tael of silver. It is not worth it."

"In the pawnshop business, one cannot be as kind-hearted as you."

Old Shen glanced at the blue jade pendant in Chu Chen's hand and said nonchalantly.

"As long as you can make money."

Chu Chen didn't take it seriously, put away the green jade pendant, and put it on the counter together with the pawn tickets.

If it is the predecessor, there is a high probability that under Shen Lang'er's instructions, in order to earn more money, he will become more cold-blooded and cruel, exploiting the customers who come to his door, just like other pawnshop owners.

But doing so may lead to enmity with others, which is contrary to his desire to survive and thrive.

Besides, with his endless lifespan, he doesn't need to do this.

For him, doing business is all about making money.

The accumulation of endless years was enough for him to accumulate an unimaginable amount of wealth.

"If you have the idea of ​​investing in this person, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible. This person is a idiot, pedantic and doesn't know how to adapt.

I keep talking about what I have said all day long, but I don’t have much ability. If I try this time, I will most likely fail. "

Old Shen thought he saw Chen's plan clearly and couldn't help but attack Chu Chen.

"Who can say for sure?"

Chu Chen's eyes flashed as he reminisced, remembering that in his previous life, there was someone who was just the same as Lu Qinghou. He failed in many trials, but he made a counterattack in his middle age and became a third-rank official step by step.

Compared with someone else, Lu Qinghou also had a greater advantage. He seemed to have no official position, but he had the reputation of being an official and had the qualifications to be an official.

As long as he is willing, he will no longer pursue the examination and directly enter the officialdom.

Not to mention what high official he can be, there is no problem in being a ninth-grade county magistrate.

Moreover.

No one knows whether Lu Qinghou will be able to soar into the sky and win the first prize, or even the first prize?

Don't bully young people... middle-aged and poor.

"That's all, it will be good for you to suffer a little loss."

Old Shen shook his head, finished speaking, and walked out of the pawn shop.

…

After Old Shen left, the pawnshop became quiet, and no one came to the door all day long.

That's what it's like in the pawn shop business.

If it is not open on weekdays, it will be open for three years.

This is also one of the reasons why most shopkeepers will aggressively lower prices. Finally, someone comes to your door. Isn’t this a huge bargain?

Chu Chen was so happy that he stayed at the pawn shop and thought about how to start practicing.

Although he can get a reward every hundred years, but before that, if he wants to have a certain ability to protect himself, he can only take the initiative to find a way to practice.

"My predecessor has never heard of the method of cultivating immortals in my memory. Even the theory of immortals mostly exists in storybooks and legends. Is it possible that there are no immortal cultivators in this world?"

"Or maybe immortal cultivators exist, but for some reason they are isolated from the world and difficult for ordinary people to contact?"

"In comparison, martial arts is easier to access. Several martial arts schools in the imperial capital have martial arts heritage."

Before he had a certain ability to protect himself, Chu Chen would not risk traveling around to seek immortality, let alone rashly contact immortal cultivators. The uncertain risks were too great.

It would be fine if you meet a righteous monk, but if you meet a demonic monk, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

Seeing that no one came to the door, Chu Chen simply closed the shop and went to the martial arts school to inquire about the news.

Return without success.

Although the martial arts schools in the imperial capital teach martial arts to outsiders, the tuition is expensive, and most of them only teach some superficial martial arts. If you want to learn more advanced martial arts, you must become a martial arts disciple.

As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father.

Becoming a master in this world is not as simple as just saying it, but you have to serve the master with all your heart and do countless dirty and tiring jobs in order to gain fax skills.

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Chen to do this. He would work hard for a few martial arts secret books.

"The road to martial arts is unavailable, so we have to find another way."

Back at the pawn shop, Chu Chen fell into deep thought.

"By the way, aren't there martial arts secrets in the pawn shop?"

Chu Chen's expression suddenly changed and he thought of the pawn shop's inventory.

My predecessor's father was very interested in martial arts, so he collected a lot of martial arts secret books.

Compared with the martial arts secret books in martial arts schools, most of the martial arts secret books in pawn shops have unknown origins or are incomplete. They dare not practice at will. If they are not careful, they may go crazy.

Therefore, Chu Chen did not consider practicing the pawnshop's martial arts secrets at first.

After rummaging around, I found a boxing technique among a bunch of martial arts secret books.

"Liuhe Boxing".

This boxing technique was originally the martial arts of a small martial arts school in the imperial capital. Due to a gambling dispute, the small martial arts school was forced to close its doors and the martial arts of the martial arts school was pawned.

Chu's father spent thirty taels of silver to acquire this boxing technique. Chu's father had practiced it for a while, but unfortunately he had no talent and failed to achieve much.

Without a better choice, Chu Chen could only practice this boxing technique.

First lay the foundation of martial arts, then look for opportunities to practice more powerful techniques, and then find ways to cultivate immortality.

"Try practicing!"

Liuhequan's moves are very simple, with only nine movements, so it's not difficult to practice.

After simply familiarizing yourself with it a few times, you can start practicing.

Phew~

Suck~

Chu Chen adjusted his breathing, calmed down, took a posture, lowered his elbows and relaxed his shoulders, bent his knees and curled up, as if his entire body had turned into a big bow.

Use your mind and energy to mobilize the energy of your whole body.

Every time he hit Liuhe Fist, Chu Chen's whole body trembled slightly, his skin turned red, as if a warm current was flowing between his limbs and bones, and the heat was steaming.

His eyes brightened and he practiced even more vigorously.

…

From then on, Chu Chen practiced Liuhe Quan several times every morning before opening his business.

The effects of martial arts training are immediate.

Chu Chen's energy and energy are getting more and more abundant, and he can sleep more soundly every night.

Soon, Old Shen also found out that Chu Chen was practicing martial arts.

It wasn't Chu Chen who told him on his own initiative, but Old Shen saw through it at a glance: "Boy, are you practicing Liuhe Fist?"

"yes."

Chu Chen didn't hide it, but was a little surprised how Old Shen could see through it.

Most of the changes brought about by practicing martial arts at the beginning are internal changes that are not very visible from the outside.

"I practiced martial arts when I was young, and also taught your father how to practice Liuhe Quan."

Perhaps seeing Chu Chen's doubts, Old Shen explained with a smile.

Only then did Chu Chen notice that although Old Shen looked old and had a stooped figure, his breathing was long and long and followed a certain rhythm.

Three breaths and one breath, one fall and one fall together.

Obviously, Old Shen has good martial arts skills.

It turns out that the biggest treasure mountain is right next to him, but he has never noticed it.

Chu Chen was also affected by the memory of his predecessor. In the eyes of his predecessor, Old Shen was just a chattering little old man who always liked to talk about some great truths.

Old Shen has never been associated with warriors who come and go.

"You want to practice martial arts, but you don't know how to tell me first. It's better to have me give you guidance than to figure it out alone. If something goes wrong, how will I explain it to your father?"

Old Shen knocked Chu Chen on the head and said angrily.
