The sun was setting and the clouds were red as fire.
The sound of sizzling hot oil frying could be heard in the courtyard.
Chen Mu held a spatula and stir-fried the green vegetables rhythmically to ensure that each piece of vegetable was evenly heated.
Jie Jia sat calmly beside the stone table under the grape trellis.
There was a pile of silver coins in front of him, and he was rubbing the silver beads one by one.
Chen Mu brought the food to the table: "Does every killer have some weird hobbies?"
He really didn't understand why the broken silver had to be rolled into beads.
Jie Jia ignored Chen Mu, quickened his hands, and rolled all the silver coins into beads and hid them in his sleeves.
He stood up and washed his hands, took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then threw them into the fire pit.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes, picked up a serving chopstick and started to share the food.
After getting familiar with each other, the old man asked for more and more.
Tableware and kitchen utensils must be clean, ingredients must be fresh, and meals must be served with serving chopsticks.
What a lot of shit! You came all the way from Qingshan County, sleeping in the open air, and you didn't seem to care much.
Besides, you are just here to eat for free, yet you ask for this and that.
Can this be tolerated?
"Yours." A gray cloth bag fell on the table in front of Chen Mu.
Well, Chen Mu felt that he could bear it.
He grabbed the gray cloth bag and weighed it, and it was at least one hundred taels of silver.
"This is your dish!" Chen Mu happily shared the food.
Sanyang Liujun Pills were renamed Lingsha Pills. This is the first month's dividend.
In total, he made more than twenty Lingsha Pills.
The profit is really high!
……
After the meal, Chen Mu handed Jiejia a palm-sized gourd.
"Huanglongsan, find someone to try the medicine, the effect may be worse, but our cost is lower."
"Okay." Jiejia couldn't help but raise his eyelids.
Lingsha Pills are a precious medicine for healing injuries. They are not used for minor injuries and cannot be used without money. Although the profit is high, the sales volume is not good.
More than twenty pieces were sold in one month.
Huanglongsan is good. It is a secret golden medicine. Which gangster doesn't carry some with him?
This high-end gold healing medicine is not outrageously expensive, but it is more effective than ordinary medicines and has a wide market.
Before leaving, Jie Jia asked Chen Mu: "Do you still want the Shape Training Technique? I can buy it on credit."
Chen Mu immediately looked sideways: "Are you really Jie Jia?"
Jie Jia looked at him expressionlessly.
"Deduct it from the share."
Chen Musong breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Jiejia had been replaced by someone else.
"Don't worry." Chen Mu waved his hand. Anyway, there was no divine intention, so it didn't matter whether to change or not.
"Although the exquisite form-training technique lacks divine intention, it is not impossible to develop courage." Jie Jia advised.
"The practice of form itself contains divine meaning. Ten years to practice form, a hundred years to cultivate the soul."
"If you continue to hone your skills after mastering the form technique, you will have a chance to comprehend the core essence and develop courage."
"The Red Falcon's form training technique is too crude."
Chen Mu looked thoughtfully at the proficiency panel.
Red Falcon Shape Training: 3601/10000/Level ;
"Do you want to cultivate your courage by practicing the Red Falcon's form?" Jie Jia asked calmly.
Chen Mu smiled and said nothing.
"Good luck to you." Jiejia turned around and said lightly.
……
Jiejia's advice is quite discouraging.
"But who makes me enjoy it?" Chen Mu shrugged and continued to adjust his breathing.
The Red Falcon Form Training Technique has entered the fourth stage. The effects of the first three levels of training have greatly decreased. On the contrary, the newly developed breathing method is more efficient.
"The body changes less, but the power connection is smoother."
Chen Mu suddenly realized something.
Changing the tendons, bones and marrow, the three changes of body shape are to transform the body. When the body shape training is perfected, the transformation is complete.
The breathing method does not stimulate the muscles as much as the previous training method, but the effect is better because it focuses more on controlling the whole body.
"One is to modify hardware, and the other is to develop software."
"Practice the form technique to strengthen the body, and the divine intention to strengthen the spirit, transform it and control it."
"I see……"
Chen Mu's understanding of the art of physical training became more and more profound.
……
Time flies.
Chen Mu prepares medicine and reads books every day, always maintaining the breathing method, and his progress is gratifying.
That day, the family ran out of food and meat, so he had to go out to buy some.
After leaving Taohuafang, walk north along Renhe Street, pass Xiuhefang, and arrive at a busy street.
The street is wide and named Dingding. It is big enough for five large carriages to pass through. It runs through Nanyang Prefecture from east to west and is the central axis of the prefecture.
After passing Dingding Street, you will reach Nanshi, one of the two major commercial markets in Nanyang Prefecture.
Chen Mu chose Taohuafang because it was far from South City and could be reached in just a quarter of an hour.
Looking at people coming and going, Chen Mu felt somewhat happy.
"I've been staying at home for so long, it's nice to come out and meet some people."
I was about to go to South City for some shopping when I saw an acquaintance.
There is a stone archway at the entrance of Nanshi. There are several wooden boards underneath with a lot of papers pasted on them. It is similar to the bulletin board and small advertisements in the past life.
There were quite a few people gathered there at the moment.
Chen Mu didn't want to join in the fun, but he saw an acquaintance in the crowd.
Zhang Ye?
The other party seemed to have seen Chen Mu as well. After hesitating for a moment, he walked up to Chen Mu.
"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence." Zhang Ye didn't know why he felt so reserved when he saw this scholar.
"What's going on?" Chen Mu pointed his chin at the wooden sign.
"Jinghong Gang is recruiting new members." Zhang Ye's eyes lit up.
"Are you willing to be a minion?" Chen Mu was surprised.
Can this Qingshan County gangster leader accept this psychological gap?
"Not a minion." Zhang Ye was quite excited.
"The notice said that as long as you pass the assessment, you can at least be a leader in charge of 20 people. The stronger you are, the higher your status will be. You may even be in charge of an entire hall, with hundreds of people under you."
Chen Mu was surprised.
This kind of long-standing gang has a solid power distribution structure. It is difficult for the gang members to get promoted, let alone outsiders.
Zhang Ye came close to Chen Mu and whispered, "I heard that the Jinghong Gang encountered some tough guys and several of their gangs were wiped out. They are anxious to increase their strength."
"If we join now, wouldn't that be suicide?" Given such great power, we have to fight for our lives, right?
"Hey, I have a miserable life. I might as well give it a try. I can end up with a good family." Zhang Ye didn't care.
Chen Mu couldn't help but take another look.
Perhaps it was this reckless and risk-taking spirit that turned him from a small gangster into the leader of the Bailang Gang.
"Good luck to you." Chen Mu turned around calmly.
"Thank you for your kind words!" Zhang Ye said happily, bowed and said goodbye, then turned around and went to the wooden sign under the archway to read the notice.
……
"Nanyang Prefecture is not so peaceful." Carrying a bag of wheat and ten kilograms of beef, Chen Mu staggered towards home.
The pedestrians on the road walked slowly, most of them had rosy faces, and their lives were not difficult.
“I don’t know how long this peaceful situation can last.”
Jinghong Gang is the largest gang in Nanyang Prefecture, but several of its branches were destroyed. No matter who the enemy is, it is likely to bring chaos.
“Want to stock up on supplies?”
Then he laughed and shook his head.
Nanyang Prefecture has a strong city army to protect it. Even if there are gang fights, no major turmoil is allowed in the city. I was frightened by the chaos in Qingshan County and was a bit like a frightened bird.
"The capital city is an important place, how could it be in chaos just like that?"
"Just live your life peacefully and work hard to improve your proficiency."
