"The power has also become stronger."
He pushed the ground with his toes, and all his strength suddenly burst out, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The khaki-colored courtyard wall seven or eight meters away rapidly enlarged.
The next moment, the figure suddenly stopped almost touching the wall.
Then he exerted force again and returned to the original position in the blink of an eye.
"Speed and reaction are faster! At least I can beat myself by two blocks!"
"Defense, strength, speed, reaction, all aspects of physical fitness have improved!"
"This is the form training technique!"
Thinking back to the time when Captain Lu leaped five or six meters, he no longer seemed out of reach.
"Isn't it just about mastery?"
After thinking about it, Chen Mu bent down and picked up a stone.
Woo!
puff!
A hole as thick as an index finger appeared on the mud wall.
Through the round hole, you can even see the street outside the wall.
"And it also increases the power of the locust stone?"
"it is good!"
At this time, a fresh fragrance came into the nostrils, and the white wheat rice was cooked.
"I have broken through the second level of the Form Training Technique and achieved Yi Jin. I have to reward myself no matter what."
"Fried square pork, mixed vegetables, and some bacon. So delicious!"

Chapter 21 Meeting Again
After breaking through Yi Jin, Chen Mu was in high spirits the whole day.
In addition to the habitual practice of Locust Stone and Red Falcon Shape Training.
Chen Mu went out specially to visit Ruyizhai in Anlefang.
This is a vegetarian restaurant that is famous throughout Qingshan County.
In the past, he would not be willing to spend money here.
He didn't go to the private room, but found a seat in a corner of the lobby and ordered a large table of dishes.
While slowly savoring the food, listen to the storyteller chatting in the lobby.
"The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division. The Daliang Kingdom has existed for more than 600 years, and now it is already aging."
"We are located in the southwest border area, so we are not very conspicuous. In the Central Plains, various rebel armies have appeared, and the mountains are everywhere. It is almost a mess."
"Heroes emerge in troubled times. Let's not talk about national affairs. Today, I will tell you about a hero in troubled times. This man has unparalleled boxing skills and is known as the Iron Fist Saint..."
The storyteller's story was full of twists and turns, and the people in the hall were excited.
Chen Mu also listened with great interest.
He had been busy practicing martial arts before and had been isolated from the news. When he first heard about the chaotic world in the martial arts world, he was immediately attracted.
"Iron Fist Holy Fist? What realm does that require? The Yi Sui level of mastering the form-changing technique?" Chen Mu thought with some envy.
"Don't worry, just follow the steps, and we will be able to change our marrow sooner or later."
Proficiency is his greatest weapon.
"Fortunately, Qingshan County is located in a remote area."
At least it won't be affected by the chaotic times.
As long as he works hard for two or three years, he will be able to master the art of shape-shifting.
By then, he would dare to venture out even in troubled times.
……
at dusk.
Chen Mu left Ruyizhai with a lingering feeling.
The food was indeed delicious and the storyteller's stories were fascinating enough. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting dark, I would have stayed a little longer.
Unfortunately, this world is not peaceful.
According to popular legend, evil spirits are most likely to occur at night.
Since coming into this world, he never goes out at night without a special reason.
The lights in Anlefang were just coming on, and the sounds of sweet girls could be faintly heard.
Chen Mu glanced at the pretty young lady who was showing off not far away, looked up at the sun that was about to set, and smiled awkwardly: "Next time, definitely next time."
……
The Chen family residence in Ping'anfang.
After returning home and locking the door, Chen Mu noticed a person sitting in the dark room.
Silver-white hair and beard, eyes narrowed into slits, and an expressionless and serious face.
Chen Mu walked into the room calmly. He was already used to the old man's mysterious appearances.
"Payment for goods." Jiejia was as concise as ever.
"Wait a moment." Chen Mu said calmly.
Then he lit the oil lamp, opened the cloth bags one by one, took out the herbs and examined them carefully.
After a while, Chen Mu placed a small cloth bag in the middle of the table and stared at Jie Jia speechlessly: "This is fake medicine."
"Did you see it?" Jie Jia had a blank expression on his face. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the medicinal herbs, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.
Chen Mu: “…”
Are you disappointed?!
"You always give me fake medicine to cheat me out of money. Is that fun?" Chen Mu said helplessly.
You are a killer who can fly high and low, so why do you run errands for others and act sneaky?
"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me." Jie Jia said lightly.
Chen Mu: “…” Why does this face look so familiar?
Forget it, forget it. I am a magnanimous person and I won’t bother with this old man.
After deducting the share of fake medicine, Chen Mu handed the money to Jie Jia obediently.
Watching the other party disappear in a flash, the speed was so fast that Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"I still can't beat him. Otherwise, I'll beat him up no matter what."
The joy of breaking through Yi Jin was suddenly reduced by half.
"Keep practicing."
He is just a newbie who has just started practicing martial arts. The world is big and he shouldn't be proud and complacent.
"We need to find some books that record medicinal materials."
He suffered a great loss the first time. He was cheated by the old man with fake medicine.
"This old man's methods of passing off inferior goods as genuine ones are becoming more and more sophisticated. We have to be careful."
If it weren't for the bandits causing chaos and the shortage of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, Chen Mu would have kicked the old man out long ago.
I don’t know where the other party buys them, but the medicinal materials have never been missing.
"After all, the killer might have secret channels."
……
On January 639, of Daliang, the weather was clear.
Chen Mu got up early, washed and ate, and spent the whole morning practicing the Locust Stone and Red Falcon Form Training Techniques.
Chen Mu has been living like this for the past six months.
After breaking through Yi Jin, his physical fitness greatly improved, which could support his practice for a longer period of time.
But upgrading the second-level skills is also difficult.
With the two counteracting each other, the level of proficiency that can be gained every day is actually not that high.
When one reaches the Bone-changing Realm, the breathing method cycle increases from sixty breaths to ninety.
There are nine new body movements.
The secret medicine is still the same.
But Chen Mu discovered that the effect of the secret medicine was reduced by one third.
I don’t know if it’s because of drug resistance or if Sheng Hong is hiding something.
"Spend another hundred taels to ask for advice?" Chen Mu shook his head.
Not worth it.
Even Sheng Hong, that old-fashioned guy, might not really say that.
"Let's practice like this first." With proficiency, you will be able to master it sooner or later.
In the afternoon, Chen Mu left home and followed the two big men at the door straight to the south of the city.
Miaohuafang contacted him with a portrait business today.
This is the first business of this month.
