Chapter 18 Like Thin Cowhide
Chapter 18 Like Thin Cowhide
“This feeling of power”
Chen Pingan pondered in the yard for a long time before slowly opening his eyes.
"very nice!"
He walked straight into the kitchen, looked at the water tank that was half full of water, put his hands together, and exerted force suddenly.
Suddenly, he lifted up the water jar.
Although their water tank is not particularly large, when it is half filled with water, its weight is definitely no less than 300 kilograms.
"Brother! How's your strength?"
Chen Erya, who saw the entire scene, covered her mouth and exclaimed.
She was taken aback.
When did my brother become so strong!
“There’s still some energy left!”
After Chen Pingan felt it for a while, he put down the water tank. He turned his head and looked at Chen Erya with a smile.
"I practiced martial arts!"
"Practicing martial arts"
Chen Erya still had a look of shock on her face.
My brother has only been practicing martial arts for a few days! How come...
Perhaps seeing Chen Erya's confusion, Chen Pingan added another sentence.
"I am your brother, a one-in-a-million martial arts genius!"
Yes, in less than ten days, he went from being an ordinary person to a martial arts practitioner with perfect Qi and blood level one. If he wasn't a genius, then what was he?
"The Qi and blood are at the first level, and the power becomes stronger!"
"Try again, the changes after the Iron Shirt is completed!"
Chen Pingan was shirtless, his blood boiling, and he slapped himself in the chest.
He was unsure about the first palm strike, so he only used half of his strength.
Bang!
There was a dull sound, as if something hit cowhide.
Chen Ping'an only felt a slight vibration in his chest, and didn't feel much.
"Come again!"
This time, Chen Pingan increased his strength and slapped down again.
Bang! It was still a dull sound. This time, Chen Pingan felt a tingling sensation.
"The first level of Qi and blood is perfect, and the skin is refined successfully, like thin cowhide!"
After repeated attempts, Chen Pingan finally confirmed his current situation.
His ability to resist attacks has been greatly enhanced. Perhaps it is the effect of the golden finger, his skin now looks no different from that of an ordinary person, but in fact, his defense and resistance to attacks are like thin cowhide.
If it were a delicate young lady, even if she held a knife and cut his skin, she probably wouldn't be able to break the skin for a while.
This feeling is just like using an ordinary knife to cut the thickest meat on a pig. If you use normal force, you will definitely not be able to break the skin.
At this time, Chen Ping'an was in a similar situation.
Chen Ping'an gained more than just these. His most valuable gain was the Iron Shirt combat experience that he had gained through hard training.
Even though Chen Pingan has never fought a single fight, he is well-versed in all the iron shirt fighting techniques.
"This golden finger is truly magical."
The Iron Shirt was a minor accomplishment, and the first level of Qi and Blood was perfect, which meant that Chen Ping'an was definitely not inferior to any official officer of the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfu Division.
In fact, in terms of overall strength, he can be ranked in the upper middle among the official servants.
After all, some of the official officials in the Nanquanlixiang Zhenfusi have begun to enter a period of qi and blood decline.
"The first level of Qi and Blood is complete. It's time to go to the black market."
Go to the black market!
This is what Chen Pingan had thought of from the very beginning.
He owed ten taels of silver to Little Tiger Master of the Tiger Head Gang. If the loan period was normally one year, it would not be difficult for him to pay off the principal and interest with his monthly salary and frugality.
But the situation has changed for Master Xiaohu now. In ten days, he needs to pay back a total of 14 taels of silver, including principal and interest. Chen Pingan doesn't have the strength to overturn the table now, so he can only pay back the silver quietly.
It will take ten days to collect enough money.
The fastest way is to go to the black market and sell the Iron Shirt martial arts technique!
Yes, the martial arts technique Iron Shirt!
Although he did not bring out the book recording the Iron Shirt, the content of the technique was recorded by the Golden Finger.
A few days ago, he bought paper and pen, and had already written down the method. He also used thin ropes to weave it together to make a simple book.
No matter how ordinary the Iron Shirt is, it is still a martial arts manual that can be used to get started with martial arts. Even if it is a handwritten copy, it is not difficult to sell it for a few taels of silver.
However, if it was a normal version, he could sell it at the Treasure Pavilion in the county town. But for this handwritten version, if he wanted to circulate it, he had to go to the black market.
There are many gangs in the alleys of Nanquan, and there are also hooligans, scoundrels, and all kinds of people who try to make a fortune through illegal means.
If some things that come from shady sources want to be circulated and traded, they naturally need some secret channels. It is in this context that the black market came into being.
The Nanquan Lane Pacification Office also turned a blind eye to the existence of the black market. As long as it was not too excessive, it would be allowed to exist.
However, since it is a black market, it means risks.
This is also the reason why Chen Pingan has been reluctant to go to the black market and has to wait until today.
Now that he has mastered the Iron Shirt to a small extent and completed the first level of Qi and Blood, his ability to protect himself has greatly improved.
Even when facing two or three burly men with swords, as long as he has not practiced martial arts, he can easily deal with them, or even kill them.
Going to the black market and selling hand-copied versions of the Iron Shirt was the last step in his plan, and it was also the confidence that would allow him to pay off his debts tomorrow.
This time, it is imperative!
Since he was going to the black market, he needed to ensure that his condition was intact, so Chen Pingan did not encounter any bugs and continued to practice the iron shirt.
"Nannan, brother has to go out for something."
Chen Pingan said to Chen Erya who was standing beside him.
The little girl hasn't recovered from moving the water tank just now.
"Ah, it's so late, where are you going, brother?"
"black market."
Hearing this, the little girl frowned. Although she was young, she knew where the black market was.
"It's such a mess in there, so late at night."
The little girl said worriedly.
Chen Ping'an walked forward and rubbed the little girl's head hard, making her hair messy, then stopped.
"It's okay. You just saw my brother's current strength. It's no joke. It's safe."
"Yeah, it seems so. But..."
The little girl hesitated.
"Don't worry, Nannan. Brother will be back in two hours at most."
Chen Pingan comforted.
"Well, alright. Be careful, brother."
The little girl pouted and agreed reluctantly.
In fact, she also knew that her brother was going out to do something serious, but out of concern, she still stopped him.
After comforting Chen Erya, Chen Pingan changed into a dark tights and put on a piece of black cloth to cover his face later.
Just as he was about to go out, he thought for a moment and felt uneasy, so he took an axe with him, then walked out of the yard with a handwritten version of the iron shirt in his arms.
"Nannan, remember to put the crossbar on the door firmly in place and wait for your brother to come back."
