Chapter 6 Prodigy
Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:

"As long as I can get married, I will be satisfied. I don't dare to have such lofty ambitions like my senior brother."

Zhao Shan smiled and said:

"It's a good thing that Junior Brother knows how to be content with what he has."

Chen Yuan then asked:
"Brother, then are we considered members of the Fu Hu Gang or the Bai Bing Tang?"

Zhao Shan said:

"You and I were accepted as disciples by our master, so we are naturally considered members of the Fuhu Gang. However, those gray-clothed apprentices and servants are only members of the Baibing Hall of Leping County. It is extremely difficult for them to join the Fuhu Gang."

Chen Yuan was surprised:
"Master is so amazing!"

Zhao Shan smiled and said:

"Master used to be a member of the general gang in the county city, and later followed the shopkeeper Sun Guanghe to Leping County to serve as a manager. Master told me that after accumulating a few years of experience, he will return to the general gang to serve. At that time, we brothers will also be able to follow Master to the county city."

When Zhao Shan said this, he smiled happily and his tone was excited, but Chen Yuan sneered in his heart.

Manager Li only treated them as thugs. Perhaps only Wang Cong was truly regarded as his disciple.

How could he and Zhao Shan be involved in such a good thing as going back to the county city to help?

Chen Yuan sneered in his heart, but on the surface he exclaimed:
"Master is so powerful, what realm must he be in?"

Zhao Shan said:

"Master is a martial artist at the peak of marrow refining. He is also a master in Leping County, only slightly inferior to Shopkeeper Sun."

"Manager Sun is more powerful than Master?"

"Shopkeeper Sun is a martial artist with inner strength. In the entire Leping County, there are only two or three people who can rival him... By the way, the kitchen manager Sun is Shopkeeper Sun's cousin. He is stingy and greedy for money. It's best not to offend him."

Chen Yuan widened his eyes:

"But Manager Sun is obviously very kind!"

Zhao Shan sneered:
"Haha, that's for Master's sake. Master is in charge of many affairs of the branch, and he is not someone a kitchen manager can afford to offend. But he is a relative of Shopkeeper Sun after all, so it's better not to offend him if you can."

Afterwards, the two of them ate and talked, and Zhao Shan said a lot more intermittently, allowing Chen Yuan to have a full understanding of Leping County Baibing Hall.

Manager Li's name is Li Yong. He is one of the two managers in the hall. He is in charge of many matters including business, apprentices, blacksmithing, etc., and holds a high position of power.

Another manager in the hall is Zhang Jinkui mentioned by Manager Li. He is also a warrior at the peak of marrow refining and is in charge of the convoy and guards.

Like Manager Li, he was a close confidant brought by the manager Sun Guanghe from the county city when he took office six years ago.

But the relationship between the two was bad and they had many conflicts.

Manager Li is in charge of business dealings and has considerable financial resources.

Zhang Jinkui has a group of guards under his command, all of whom are very powerful.

The two fought back and forth, but neither of them got the upper hand.

But in the past two years, the situation has begun to change.

Under the deliberate training of Manager Li, Wang Cong and Zhao Shan successively became bone-refining warriors.

Under the arrangement of Manager Li, Zhao Shan became one of the three commanders of the guard team.

This greatly increased Manager Li's voice among the guards, and he gradually gained the upper hand in the fight with Zhang Jinkui.

……

After the two finished their meal, Chen Yuan took the initiative to go to the well at the entrance of the alley, fetched two buckets of clean water, and washed the dishes, which made Zhao Shan very satisfied.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Chen Yuan got up early, took Zhao Shan's lunch box, and went to the kitchen to get food.

When he came back, Zhao Shan also got up.

During dinner yesterday, Zhao Shan agreed to teach Chen Yuan martial arts today and asked him to get up early.

From Zhao Shan, Chen Yuan learned that the martial arts secrets in the martial arts world are divided into three levels from low to high: third rate, second rate, first rate, and divine skills.

The highest level that a non-mainstream person can reach is bone refining, third-rate marrow refining, second-rate internal strength, first-rate transformation of strength, and innate divine power.

Among them, the most numerous are the inferior martial arts, which can be taught in street martial arts schools.

But starting from the third-rate secret manuals, only the sects and gangs with a certain amount of power in the world can master them.

The Tiger Subduing Power that Zhao Shan is going to teach Chen Yuan today is a third-rate martial art.

After the two of them had breakfast, Chen Yuan changed into his linen clothes and stood in the open space in the yard. Zhao Shan said solemnly:

"Junior brother, this Fu Hu Jin can be practiced all the way to the peak of marrow refining. I will explain the formula of the technique to you in detail. Listen carefully..."

Afterwards, Zhao Shan explained the secret formula of Fu Hu Jin in detail, which consisted of nearly a thousand words in total, and Chen Yuan memorized it firmly.

After experiencing the starlight infusion, Chen Ye not only strengthened his body, but also improved his memory a lot, and he could remember everything he heard. Of course, he didn't show it, and only pretended to remember it reluctantly when Zhao Shan told it for the dozenth time.

However, Zhao Shan did not become impatient because of this. He continued to patiently explain the formula to him and demonstrated the Fu Hu Fist himself.

Warriors need to practice martial arts with fists. To practice the Tiger Subduing Power, they must practice the Tiger Subduing Fist.

When practicing boxing, special breathing methods are used to stimulate the meridian acupoints, generate a sense of qi, and then continuously strengthen the physical energy, so as to achieve the effect of tempering the body, refining the skin and bones, until the strength enters the marrow.

Zhao Shan practiced the boxing technique twice at an extremely slow speed, and then taught Chen Yuan how to practice boxing step by step.

"Junior brother, this set of Fu Hu Quan is not only effective for training, but can also be used against enemies. It is comparable to a second-rate secret manual. You must practice diligently. Of course, you are a beginner in martial arts, and it will take some time to get started. It will take about ten days or half a month to generate a sense of Qi. Don't be impatient..."

Under Zhao Shan's guidance, Chen Yuan practiced the boxing technique himself, but his expression was a little strange. He asked:

"Brother, it takes so long just to generate the Qi feeling. Is practicing martial arts so difficult?"

"Most martial artists are like this, but those with excellent aptitude and amazing comprehension can generate a sense of Qi in two or three days. Some even have extraordinary talents and can generate a sense of Qi in one day!"

Chen Yuan was stunned:

"One day of Qi feeling! There aren't many people this powerful in the county, right?"

Zhao Shan laughed and said:
"County? Even if you look at the entire Qi State, a martial arts prodigy who can feel the Qi in one day is rare in a century! But you, Junior Brother, have only practiced boxing once, so I can't tell anything. Maybe after a day, you can also feel the Qi, haha..."

Chen Yuan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a silly smile:

"Brother, please don't make fun of me. I don't have that kind of ability!"

Afterwards, he practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist twice more, and Zhao Shan nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good. Although you are a little slow in memorizing the formula, there is nothing wrong with practicing boxing. Once you develop a sense of qi, your progress will be fast. After all, you are quite strong, and your physical strength must be strong, otherwise you would not be able to bear such a huge force."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

"You don't have to be polite, Junior Brother. Master has entrusted you to me, so of course I will teach you with all my heart. After you have learned, don't forget to repay Master, that's all."

"Yes, I will definitely learn martial arts well and repay my master's kindness as soon as possible!"

Chen Yuan responded loudly with a sincere expression.

Zhao Shan raised his head to look at the sun and said:

"Okay, you continue to practice boxing. I'm going to the guard team first. If there is anything you don't understand, talk to me when I come back."

"Brother, walk slowly!"

Chen Yuan saw Zhao Shan out, bolted the door, returned to the yard, took a deep breath, and continued practicing the Subduing Tiger Fist.

Feeling the heat surging in his body, Chen Yuan's face showed an irrepressible excitement.

Zhao Shan said that it takes an ordinary warrior half a month to develop a sense of Qi, a martial arts genius two or three days to develop a sense of Qi, and a peerless genius one day to develop a sense of Qi.

But when Chen Yuan practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist for the first time, he felt energy in his body!

When he felt a flow of heat in his body, which was very similar to the feeling of energy Zhao Shan described, he could only try hard to suppress the change in his expression.

After hearing that it would take a genius a day to produce the Qi, Chen Yuan didn't dare to reveal anything.

He is not some martial arts genius. The fact that he can generate energy so quickly is all due to the effect of the starlight infusing his body.

After experiencing starlight infusion twenty-two times, Chen Yuan's control over his body increased greatly, and he could even control the movement of every muscle.

It would be extremely difficult for others to practice boxing with special breathing techniques, but for him, it was a piece of cake.

Chen Yuan not only did not make any mistakes when practicing his boxing skills, but was perfect!

Even Zhao Shan himself could not perform the Subduing Tiger Fist as perfectly as Chen Yuan.

"Hoo! Heh! Hoo..."

In the quiet courtyard, Chen Yuan let go of his hands and feet and practiced boxing with all his strength, feeling the heat in his body growing stronger and stronger. He felt relaxed, but also more confused.

What kind of treasure is the jade beads? Just by infusing his body with starlight more than twenty times, he has surpassed the martial arts genius that Qi State rarely sees in a century.

If I could receive the astral infusion every day...

Chen Yuan was determined to keep the secret of Yujue safe and not expose his special qualities to others.

Manager Li had bad intentions to begin with. Zhao Shan seemed to have good intentions, but he was loyal to Manager Li and could not reveal his true colors to him.

While Chen Yuan's mind was flowing, his hands and feet were moving non-stop as he practiced his boxing techniques.

Only by improving your own strength can you truly protect the jade pendant and not be afraid of others spying on it.

Instead of being like now, where one has to tread on thin ice, act cautiously, and even disguise one's temperament.

Chen Yuan's desire to become stronger has never been as strong as it is now.
