Start from the Martial Arts

After a while, Li Shan stopped, his breath was steady, everything was normal.

Chang Suqing, Su Congwen, Su Lingyun, and Gao Sheng were panting slightly, with sweat on their foreheads.

Obviously, the endurance of Ming Jin martial artists far exceeds that of the flesh refining realm.

"Junior Brother Fang, come and try to spar with Junior Brother Gao." Li Shan waved at Fang Xiu.

"Yes." Fang Xiu had been itching for a long time, after all, sparring with Li Shan was a one-sided result.

"Junior Brother Fang, I'm very strong, be careful." Gao Sheng moved his fists, his knuckles crackling.

"Please show mercy, senior brother." Fang Xiu clasped his fists.

The two came to the center of the field and were about to start fighting when a disciple ran in hurriedly.

"Big Brother, someone from the county government has come and said there's something important, please go over there."

"I see." Li Shan nodded and said to the five people, "You guys continue, I'll go to the government office to take a look."

"I'll go back to the government office." As soon as Li Shan left, Chang Suqing followed him.

"Brother Chang, let's go together." Su Congwen said.

"Okay." Chang Suqing nodded and looked at Su Lingyun, "Where's Sister Su?"

"I'll go too." Su Lingyun followed.

At this time, only Fang Xiu and Gao Sheng were left in the yard.

"Tsk." Gao Sheng smacked his lips and patted Fang Xiu's shoulder.

"Brother Fang, don't mind, these rich kids can't pee in the same pot with us."

Fang Xiu smiled and said nothing.

"Let's continue." Gao Sheng smiled.

"Okay! Please give me more advice, Brother Gao."

Fang Xiu got ready.

"Take my move! Thunder from the blue sky!" Gao Sheng shouted and rushed towards Fang Xiu.

However, when he approached Fang Xiu again, he suddenly punched out with both fists, using the move of gathering mosquitoes into thunder.

Fang Xiu reacted quickly and fought back, but was still knocked back several steps by Gao Sheng.

"Brother Fang, remember, this is called all is fair in war!" Gao Sheng raised his horse face, quite complacent.

"..." Fang Xiu's mouth twitched. This move is only useful for people who know the Thunder Fist very well. It may have limited effect on others, but it is indeed worth learning.

"Brother Gao! Take my Thunder and Wind!"

Fang Xiu followed suit and rushed forward with a few steps.

"The same move on me... Wow!" Gao Sheng smiled triumphantly, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The next moment, he suddenly screamed and was caught off guard by Fang Xiu, and fell to the ground.

"You really can do it?!"

Gao Sheng looked at Fang Xiu in surprise, climbed up, and moved his sore wrist.

"Brother Fang, you are really strong. You don't look like a warrior in the Skin Grinding Realm. You are almost as strong as a warrior in the Flesh Refining Realm."

"I am naturally strong." Fang Xiu said with a smile. Through the brief fight just now, he was finally sure that he could fight with a warrior in the Flesh Refining Realm.

Although Gao Sheng held back, he also didn't use his full strength.

Otherwise, the punch just now might have broken Gao Sheng's bones and tendons.

"Come again!" Gao Sheng was quite dissatisfied and seemed to want to regain his face as a senior brother.

"Okay." Fang Xiu was happy to have someone to practice with.

......

In the evening.

Fang Xiu finished dinner at the martial arts hall and prepared to go back to the county prison.

He had just left the martial arts hall and had not walked far when he saw a young man wrapped in gray cloth running towards the entrance of the street.

"Stop!"

The three people chasing behind were fierce and ferocious. One of them picked up a stone and threw it at the young man fiercely.

"Ah!"

The stone hit the boy's back, and he fell to the ground with a scream, but he still held the gray cloth package tightly in his arms.

The stone rolled to Fang Xiu's feet.

"Damn it! You bastard are really bold!"

One of the strong men rushed over quickly, flew over and kicked the boy hard on the back.

At this time, the boy looked at Fang Xiu not far away, and suddenly threw the gray cloth package in his arms.

The package rolled to Fang Xiu's feet, revealing a small bamboo fish basket inside. In the fish basket was a gray-white strange fish more than one foot long, with a red line-like texture on its back.

Red blood carp!

Fang Xiu's pupils suddenly dilated. A one-pound red blood carp can be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver. This red blood carp is estimated to be more than three pounds, at least more than twenty taels of silver.

"Master Warrior, save me! I only want five taels of silver for this red blood carp!" The boy struggled and shouted.

At this time, Fang Xiu noticed that the boy was the one he met at the entrance of Sanjue Martial Arts Hall last time.

Among the three strong men chasing him, one of them was also the thug of Jinqian Gang who beat him up last time.

"It turned out to be Fang Xiao... Master Fang! We..."

The strong man saw that the person coming was Fang Xiu, and he hurriedly smiled apologetically. As thugs in Xunjie, they must be well-informed.

Last time, he could ignore Fang Xiu's identity as a jailer, but this time he couldn't be disrespectful to a formal warrior.

The strong man smiled apologetically and squatted down to get the fish basket.

However, Fang Xiu stepped forward and stopped him.

"Master Fang?" The strong man's face changed slightly.

"The stone you threw... hit me." Fang Xiu said coldly, for this red-blooded carp

"Master Fang is determined not to give face to my Jinqian Gang?!" The smile on the strong man's face completely disappeared.

At this time, the two strong men behind him also came over.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"When did the Sanjue Martial Arts School need to give money to save face?" Fang Xiu tensed up and was about to take action when a sneer suddenly came from behind him.

He turned around and looked around, only to see Gao Sheng standing at the gate of the martial arts gym, walking towards this side.

"It turns out to be Uncle Gao! We..." The strong man became obviously nervous.

"Say it!" Gao Sheng raised his horse's face and stared at the other party.

"You made a mistake! You deserve to die!" The strong man immediately gave himself a few loud slaps, and clear fingerprints appeared on his cheeks.

"That's enough! Get lost." Gao Sheng waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes! Yes!" The three strong men left dejectedly.

"Thank you, the two warrior masters! Thank you, the two warrior masters!" The ragged young man got up and kowtowed to the two of them. If he was captured this time, he might die.

"Get up. If you want to thank you, just thank Junior Brother Fang. Under normal circumstances, we don't care about other things outside the martial arts hall." Gao Sheng said lightly, seemingly speaking to the young man, but in fact he was reminding Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu realized what Gao Sheng meant, "Senior Brother Gao, this time it's me..."

Gao Sheng raised his hand and interrupted him, "Junior brother Fang, please remember, we must not lose the face of our martial arts school outside."

After saying that, Gao Sheng glanced at the fish basket on the ground, turned around and walked towards the martial arts hall.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gao!" Fang Xiu clasped his fists, then looked at the boy who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Master Fang!" The young man got up and thanked him repeatedly.

Only then did Fang Xiu notice that the boy's two big toes exposed outside the straw sandals had been cut off.

"May I have your name?"

"The villain Bai Xing is a fisherman from the fishing village." The young man said quickly.

"Do you want to join the Sanjue Martial Arts School?" Fang Xiu asked again.

"Please have mercy on Master Fang. I only need five taels of silver as registration fee." Bai Xing picked up the fish basket on the ground and offered it to him with both hands, his face full of humility and flattery.

"Forget it, I'll help you to the end." Fang Xiu took out five taels of silver from his money bag and handed it to Fang Xing, then took the tightly wrapped fish basket from his hand.

The pungent fishy smell seemed particularly alluring at this moment.

Although this caused the money gang to be provoked in advance, it was still worthwhile to buy a three-pound red-blooded carp for five taels of silver.

"Thank you, Master Fang!" Bai Xing took the money and kowtowed to Fang Xiu again.

"After entering the Sanjue Martial Arts School, we will be brothers from now on."

Fang Xiu helped him up. He made a lot of money from this deal, and so did Bai Xing.

With his status as a disciple of Sanjue Martial Arts School, the Money Gang can no longer embarrass him openly. Once he becomes an official martial artist, he will be able to control his own destiny.

Despite the fierce momentum of the three people from the Money Gang just now, even if Gao Sheng didn't come to the rescue, they wouldn't dare to really take action against Fang Xiu.

For a formal warrior to fight three ordinary adult men, it's the same as playing.

"Come in with me." Fang Xiu took Bai Xing into the Sanjue Martial Arts Hall. Since Li Shan went to the Yamen, he first asked Gao Sheng to help look after Bai Xing.

He had to go back quickly and put the red-blooded carp in the water to raise it.

Although the red-blooded carp has much stronger vitality than ordinary fish, it has become a little wilted after being dehydrated for such a long time.

The effect of dead fish is greatly reduced.

"Senior Brother Gao, we will have fish soup at Junior Brother's house tomorrow."

Before leaving, Fang Xiu whispered in Gao Sheng's ear.

"This is not good..." Gao Sheng was a little moved.

"Senior Brother Gao is willing to come, it is to give Junior Brother face." Fang Xiu added.

"Junior Brother Fang said that, then I won't be polite!" Gao Sheng suddenly smiled.

"Junior brother has to go back to the county jail. Please wait for senior brother Gao."

Fang Xiu cupped his fists.

"Easy to say, easy to say, Junior Brother Fang, go back quickly." Gao Sheng urged.

"Bai Xing, you follow Senior Brother Gao here and wait for Senior Brother to come back. For the next month, you can live in the martial arts gym." Fang Xiu told Bai Xing.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Bai Xing clenched the silver in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

...

Fang Xiu ran home quickly, put the red-blooded carp into a copper basin and raised it.

In order to prevent someone from sneaking in and picking the lock when he went out, he didn't go to the county jail directly.

Anyway, the prisoner will not starve to death even if he misses one meal.

"The red-blooded carp... what a treasure!"

Looking at the red-blooded carp that had regained its vitality, Fang Xiu's eyes lit up.

In terms of replenishing qi and generating blood alone, red-blooded carp is more effective than medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers. With this red-blooded carp, his cultivation speed can be greatly improved.

...

"Forget it, it's better not to keep the good stuff overnight."

After dark, Fang Xiu thought over and over again and decided to eat the red-blooded carp tonight to prevent others from thinking about him.

So, he went to the door and found a boy playing, gave him two copper coins, and asked him to go to the Sanjue Martial Arts School to find Gao Sheng.

When Gao Sheng comes, give the boy eight more copper coins.

The boy ran towards the Sanjue Martial Arts School happily. For ten copper coins, he could buy half a roast chicken.
