LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 2 Martial skills are hard to find
Thirty-five taels of silver may not seem like much, but compared to Lu Shi's monthly handyman income of one tael, the money was enough for him to save for three years. Just having to go without food or drink shows how difficult his current situation is.
As for the fourteen Tiger Bone Yijin Pills, Lu Shi didn't dare to take them out now, lest he be guilty of having a jade.
After all, there are twelve pills each. It is even rumored that Tiger Bone Yijin Pills can speed up the condensation of warriors' essence. It is a treasure used by warriors to condense essence and improve their physical fitness. It is not so easy to obtain.
So now, for Lu Shi, the first thing to do is naturally to find a martial arts skill that can produce true energy to ensure his own safety.
In such an environment, Lu Shi always lacked a sense of security. He would not place his own safety on the kindness of others, so no matter what, Lu Shi had to find a decent martial arts book that would allow him to declare his faith in this huge A foothold in the government.
Fortunately, with this first chance feedback, Lu Shi's already stretched net worth immediately felt relieved. At least for a short time, he no longer had to worry about his future livelihood.
As soon as the thought occurred, the yellow light group in his mind quickly shrank, and then two silver ingots condensed out of the light group. The whole process looks like the two silver ingots are condensed from the light in the yellow light cluster.
With a clatter, two silver ingots appeared, and the silver light shone, which was satisfying.
At this moment, Lu Cai truly felt the magic of the Ruyi Dao Fruit, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
One piece is five taels, and two pieces are twelve taels. This made Lu Shi know one of the characteristics of the Ruyi Dao Fruit, that is, he can take out the feedback objects according to his own will, and it is not all the feedback objects that can be condensed at once.
After all, one piece of fifty taels of silver weighs half a catty, and thirty-five taels of silver weighs three and a half catties, which is really eye-catching.
In this way, for the time being, there is no need to worry about the items that come from chance feedback being coveted by others.
Lu Shi hid a piece of silver in his arms and arranged it a little. No clues were revealed. Lu Shi hid the other piece of silver at home. After thinking about it, he took out a small piece of silver from where it was hidden and put it away. After sorting it out, he went out and quickly returned to the Jinyang Gang.
The small courtyard where Lu Shi lived was not far from the Jinyang Gang. After crossing two streets, he returned to the Jinyang Gang's headquarters.
As a handyman, Lu Shi's daily work was very tedious. Daily cleaning, plus some miscellaneous chores, basically occupied his time during the day. Fortunately, he is a relative of the handyman and has contributed money, so his job is much easier than that of a normal handyman.
"Young man from the Lu family, did you go out and be lazy again?"
As soon as he returned to the gang, he was bumped into by a steward who was in charge of chores.
"Uncle Zhou."
Lu Shi hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "I'm not lazy, I'm just going home to get something."
The Uncle Zhou in front of him was named Zhou Qing, and it was Lu Shi's relationship in the gang. It was through this person that Lu Shi was able to enter the Jinyang Gang, and he usually took good care of him.
Zhou Qing sneered and tapped Lu Shi with his hand.
"For your father's sake, I'll just pretend you didn't see him this time. It's better for you to be more honest lately. Someone has already reported your slack to me in recent days. Don't make it difficult for me, Uncle Zhou. What's more? Next time, that won’t be the case.”
Lu Shi nodded when he heard this and promised: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou, my nephew, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
As he said that, as if he remembered something, Lu Shi took two steps closer and whispered, "I want to ask you something, Uncle Zhou, is there any martial arts in the gang that can increase your strength?"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, narrowed his small eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Shi with a vague look, which suddenly shocked him.
Could this old boy have something on his mind?
Thinking like this, Lu Shi remained calm on the surface.
He knew the temperament of the person in front of him, he was greedy for money! But he still obeyed the rules. What he did was considered a test.
It's not that the original body's father has never taught him martial arts, but those are all incomplete moves. Without a complete system, he can't practice anything at all. At most, he can only stretch his body and increase his strength.
"Want to practice martial arts?" Zhou Qing asked.
Lu Shi nodded and said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhou, tell me, nephew, I want to become an official gang member. Those big brothers usually look too majestic."
"Ah."
Zhou Qing sneered and glanced sideways at Lu Shi.
"Regardless of the majesty of the official gang members, they are all knives who lick blood. You are the only one left in the Lu family. If you really become an official gang member, and you die outside one day, what will happen to you when the Lu family comes?" The roots are broken. I advise you to save some money and marry a wife as soon as possible to pass down the bloodline to your Lu family."
Lu Shi swallowed his saliva, showing a strong sense of guilt, and forced a smile: "Uncle Zhou, please stop laughing at my nephew. It's not like you don't know what's going on with me. If you don't want to think of a way, let alone marry your wife." , it’s good if you don’t starve to death.”
"Really?"
Lu Shi nodded quickly, pretending to be in pain, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and stuffed it into Zhou Qing's hand.
After getting the broken silver, Zhou Qing immediately knew how much it was, stuffed it into his arms, and then smiled.
"Then I'll tell you."
When Lu Shi saw this, he hurriedly bowed: "My nephew, I would like to thank Uncle Zhou first."
Zhou Qing waved his hands and then said: "Martial skills that increase strength are nothing. There are many martial arts of this type in the gang, and there are dozens of complete sets. However, if you want to achieve the effect, you must combine medicinal baths and meat supplements. If your ability reaches 500, you will be able to become an official member of the gang. If you can make some more contributions, you may even be rewarded by the adults in the gang. If you can get a real skill and develop your true energy, you will be transformed by then. You can become a middle-level or high-level member of the gang."
Such enjoyment would really make an ordinary person feel turbulent, but Lu Shi would not be fooled by these few words and just pretended to be yearning for it.
"But practicing martial arts costs a lot of money, and if you don't have a rich family, it's extremely difficult to achieve some results. Don't say I didn't remind you, without enough money to support you, you can only gain more than a hundred kilograms of strength at most. From now on, we will have to accept our fate.”
Lu Shi seemed unwilling to give in. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Zhou, my nephew wants to give it a try."
"Ah."
Zhou Qing just chuckled and stopped trying to dissuade him, and continued: "You know about the martial arts hall in the gang, right?"
Lu Shi nodded quickly.
"The martial arts I mentioned are available in the martial arts hall. The premise is that you have money and are willing to spend ten taels of silver, then you can choose a martial skill from the martial arts hall. By the way, there are also available ones at the medicine hall. With these medicines for medicated baths, you can give it a try.”
When Lu Shi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Can the handyman also buy martial arts skills in the martial arts hall?"
Zhou Qing nodded: "Of course, the handyman is also a member of the gang. Many of the gang are members of the gang, and they were all promoted from the handyman."
Lu Shi finally understood the gang's promotion model. It was simple and crude, but considering the daily loss rate of the gang members, this promotion model could afford the blood flow of the gang.
"Thank you Uncle Zhou. My nephew has saved some money and will definitely give it a try when the time comes."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and showed excitement.
Zhou Qing patted Lu Shi on the shoulder, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Uncle Zhou, I wish you success. Don't forget Uncle Zhou then."
"No way."
Lu Shi scratched his head.
"Okay, go clean the library again. There may be important people going there recently. Don't let anything happen." Zhou Qing ordered.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Saying this, he cupped his hands and left quickly.
Looking at his leaving figure, Zhou Qing squinted his eyes again, wondering what he was thinking, then shook his head, and then turned around and left.
But he didn't see that after he turned to leave, Lu Shi also turned his head and stared at his back with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I hope you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."
Lu Shi was wary of anyone in the gang, and it was impossible for Lu Shi to ignore someone as greedy as Zhou Qing.
These conversations today were all intentional by Lu Shi.
There are martial arts skills for sale in the martial arts hall, and he has long known that asking like this is just to find a reason to pave the way for subsequent attempts.
As far as Lu Shi knows, the martial arts sold in the martial arts hall are only ordinary ones, and it is impossible to practice true qi. After all, if you can practice true qi, you will be a second-rate master at worst. Looking at the entire Xuanxin Mansion, it is also famous. A person with a surname.
It can be seen from this that the secrets of Zhenqi that can be used to practice Zhenqi are very precious. They are basically secrets that are not passed down by various sects.
"Use silver to feed back silver, and elixirs will also feed back to elixirs. If you use martial arts, what will be the feedback? It can't be the same martial arts secret book that feeds back several copies, right?"
This is a question that Lu Shi has been thinking about for a while. He really wants to try it, but now, the opportunity has come. Everything is ready, all he needs is to get the martial arts secrets.
