Start from the Martial Arts

"This is..."

Fang Xiu looked at the dark red blood ginseng in the brocade box with a surprised expression.

The appearance of blood ginseng looks similar to carrots, and the age is easy to identify. Every five years, an extra ginseng beard will grow.

The blood ginseng in front of him has ten ginseng beards, which is fifty years old.

Blood ginseng that is more than a hundred years old is called blood essence ginseng, which has more pure medicinal power and a skyrocketing price.

Although a fifty-year-old blood ginseng is far inferior to blood essence ginseng, it is still unlikely to be bought with five hundred taels of silver.

At least eight or nine hundred taels of silver.

"Since you plan to use blood ginseng to replenish qi and blood, you naturally have to use a higher-aged one. The extra few hundred taels of silver are my advance salary." Ye Jin'er leaned lazily on the table.

"Thank you, Miss Ye." Fang Xiu felt that Ye Jin'er was too kind.

"When I break through the flesh barrier, I will..."

"Don't make promises easily." Ye Jin'er interrupted Fang Xiu, "I hate people who are untrustworthy and tell lies!"

"..." Fang Xiu was silent.

"Miss Seven, Miss Lingyun is here with a warrior and has arrived at the front yard."

Just as the room fell into silence, the maid Xiaolu came to the corridor.

"Please ask them to come over." Ye Jin'er said lightly.

"Miss Ye, I'll step aside for a moment." Fang Xiu said hurriedly.

"You go to the next room." Ye Jin'er nodded.

Fang Xiu quickly put away the blood ginseng, walked out of the room, and hid in the next room.

Not long after, Su Lingyun led a boy with dark skin, ordinary looks, but bright eyes into the room.

"Sister Ye."

"Sister Lingyun."

"This is Junior Brother Bai, the disciple that Master just accepted." Su Lingyun introduced the person next to him to Ye Jin'er.

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment as he looked at Ye Jin'er's beautiful face.

In the environment where he lived, even if the girls in the fishing village had outstanding looks, they had obvious pores, dark skin, rough hands and feet, and could not stand a close look.

After all, poor families could not even afford to eat, so how could they afford to raise their daughters?

If they could afford to brush their teeth with salt, they were already considered rich.

Moreover, even a beauty like Su Lingyun, who was born in a wealthy family, would not have fair and delicate skin because of martial arts training.

The first time he saw such a beautiful woman with skin as white as snow and as white as mutton fat jade, Bai Xing was a little at a loss.

"Junior Brother Bai." Su Lingyun reminded in a low voice.

"Yes!" Bai Xing straightened his back and greeted Ye Jin'er, "I am Bai Xing, and I meet Miss Ye...Ye."

Facing Ye Jin'er's 'affectionate' peach blossom eyes, Bai Xing's face flushed and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Mr. Bai, you don't have to be so polite." Ye Jin'er nodded slightly.

"Sister Ye, Junior Brother Bai is only sixteen years old this year. He has only been practicing for eleven months, but he has already broken through the flesh barrier... Even the Wang family and the Chen family are vying for him! Isn't Sister Ye going to recruit guests? So I recommended Junior Brother Bai to come here."

Su Lingyun explained her purpose.

"Mr. Bai is willing to become a guest of the Ye family?" Ye Jin'er said lightly.

"Even Senior Sister Su praises Miss Ye so much, so I also believe in Miss Ye. If Miss Ye doesn't abandon me, I am willing to go through fire and water for Miss Ye, without hesitation!"

Bai Xing clasped his fists and said solemnly.

Ye Jin'er raised her eyelids slightly, staring at Bai Xing, and her curved willow-leaf eyebrows slightly frowned.

"Mr. Bai should have a better future."

After a moment of silence, Ye Jin'er politely declined.

Bai Xing was stunned.

Ye Jin'er's answer was completely beyond his expectations.

He gave up the two great families, the Wang family and the Chen family, and chose the Ye family, which had just entered Qingshi County and had not yet established a firm foothold.

He was rejected?

"Sister Ye?!" Su Lingyun looked at Ye Jiner in surprise.

Bai Xing lowered his head, took a breath, and clenched his fists.

"In that case, I will not bother Miss Ye anymore."

He bowed to Ye Jiner, then turned around, opened the door, and left quickly.

"Junior Brother Bai?!" Su Lingyun wanted to persuade her, but saw the biting cold wind blowing into the wing room, making Ye Jiner cough, and she immediately closed the wide-open door.

After Ye Jiner had recovered for a while, Su Lingyun asked.

"Sister Ye, you are willing to pay a high price for even a warrior like Junior Brother Fang who is in the skin grinding realm to serve as a worshiper.

Although Junior Brother Bai's physique is not good, his comprehension is very good.

With your financial support, he will become a martial artist sooner or later. Why do you look down on him?"

"Lies all the time..." Ye Jin'er tightened her fox fur, "His eyes are full of malice."

"Words of loyalty can't be considered lies... And it's the first time we meet, where does the malice come from?!"

"Lust!"

"Even I like a beauty like Sister Ye, so it's understandable that Junior Brother Bai lost his composure when he first met."

Su Lingyun joked.

"You have no malice, Aunt Shen, Xiaolu, and... Fang Xiu."

Ye Jin'er shook her head lightly.

"Junior Brother Fang..." Su Lingyun was stunned.

After spending some time together, Su Lingyun felt that Fang Xiu was okay, but except for his close relationship with Gao Sheng, he was relatively introverted and silent.

I didn't expect to get such a high evaluation.

Su Lingyun knew that the exquisite heart that Ye Jiner talked about was not false.

She seemed to have the peculiarity of roughly judging whether others were lying since she was a child.

In the early years, she helped the Ye family negotiate several big deals.

However, after the death of the head of the Ye family, this ability became disliked.

After all, in life, it is inevitable that you will be flattered against your will, and no one wants to be seen through at a glance.

If Su Lingyun had not been familiar with Ye Jin'er since she was a child, and the Shenbing Shop had no business relationship with the Ye family, she would probably not be able to adapt.

"Sister Ye, I will help you continue to find reliable people. You can rest first. I will come to see you in a few days."

Su Lingyun saw the tiredness in Ye Jin'er's eyes and stood up to leave.

Wait until Su Lingyun leaves.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Fang Xiu walked out of the next door room.

“It seems that being self-aware is also a great advantage.”

He didn't deliberately eavesdrop, but Hunyuan Zhenqi strengthened his five senses, so he roughly heard the conversation between the three of them.

It turned out that Ye Jin'er liked him because he was not short of money and he was more honest.

Fang Xiu usually kept silent if he felt it was inconvenient to say it, and Ye Jin'er didn't ask any questions.

As for his lack of interest in beauties like Ye Jin'er, it was mainly because in the era of advanced information in his previous life, there were too many beauties.

And as a modern person, the most important thing is to be self-aware.

Recalling his previous life, he had just graduated and taken the public examination, and his family arranged a blind date.

He didn't have a car or a house. When asked about his job, he replied that he was waiting for the results of the public examination. His dating partner commented that he was an "unemployed vagrant", and then he said "he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination" to kill him.

Everyone admires strength, regardless of gender.

Even if Ye Jin'er is as beautiful as a fairy, she has nothing to do with Fang Xiu.

Such a noble lady would have to carry at least eight sedan chairs to marry her home. Even if she wanted to recruit a son-in-law, he would not be able to get married in the queue.

Fang Xiu never had any wrong thoughts from beginning to end.

A young lady from a wealthy family marries a poor man. This is a fairy tale that only appears in the novels written by failed scholars.

Fang Xiu just wants to practice martial arts and become stronger.

A fist means power, and a fist means holding power.

A powerful punch is power.

"Miss Ye, I'm going back first."

Fang Xiu stood outside the wing and informed Ye Jin'er before leaving.

"Well, Mr. Fang, walk slowly." Ye Jin'er responded softly.

...

...

"Finally we've come this far!"

Fang Xiu returned home and took out the plump blood ginseng with excitement in his eyes.

With the success of external skin grinding, ten years of internal skills, and the strength increase of the [Strong Body] fate, he thought that he would not be invincible against a warrior in the flesh-refining realm, but it would also be a rare match for him.

"I wonder if after breaking through the physical barrier and cultivating both internal and external skills, I can compete with a martial artist..."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

He carefully sliced ​​the blood ginseng into slices and used half of it for medicinal baths and half for oral administration.

In the next three days, apart from going to the county jail to deliver meals, Fang Xiu spent the rest of the time at home.

...

Midnight.

Fang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged in the barrel, suddenly trembled and his face turned red.

puff!

There was a muffled sound in Fang Xiu's chest. Qi and blood were boiling hot, and heat flowed to his whole body.

However, more heat flow was concentrated in the arms and legs.

Crack, crackle!

After a while, Fang Xiu stood up from the barrel with a sudden burst, and there was a popping sound like fried beans all over his body.

"It's done!"

The fifty-year-old blood ginseng was more effective than he expected. He only used half of it and successfully broke through the flesh barrier.

The moment Fang Xiu succeeded in breaking through the barrier, his consciousness fell into a trance.

The first page of the Book of Destiny is filled with green light.

The text above was blurred for a while.

[Fate: strong body]→[Fate: strong muscles and bones]

"This is......"

Fang Xiu was surprised and happy.
