Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 68

"This is the Hardware Grinding Technique, which focuses on using five kinds of metals to hone the body and strengthen it to the point of being as hard as steel. It is a horizontal training method. It can be practiced up to four levels of blood, but the speed of practice is extremely slow and requires The five metals are more expensive than gold, and the cost is only half of the previous book of Youth and Beauty Preservation Skills, priced at 5000 taels."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched again, he straightened up and bent down, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip to hide his embarrassment.

Lu Xialan put down one and took one out of the box.

"The Burning Flame Palm, after being mastered, the palm power will be filled with fire poison, causing the recipient to suffer the pain of burning the body every day. It can be practiced to the sixth blood level. The cultivation cost is ordinary, but the cultivation method is too painful. Once practiced, it cannot be stopped. Those who give up are like falling into a frying pan every day.”

"Therefore, this palm technique is priced at 3000 taels."

"Five Labors and Seven Injuries Kung Fu, I heard it is a technique from a certain cult. It is a auxiliary technique. There are seven levels in total. The cost of training is average and the speed of training is extremely fast."

"It can enhance digestion and qi and blood production. With sufficient qi and blood, no matter how you practice any martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It's okay if your level is low, but it's just a lot of work and seven injuries. The more you practice this skill, the more you get twice the result with half the effort. The more serious the side effects are, the more severe it will be. In the end, the body will be broken and the bones will stand up, and the abdomen will bulge and die."

"The price is 3000 taels."

Seeing Lu Xialan take out the last secret book from the box, Chen Cheng swallowed.

Why do you feel that these exercises cost either money or life?

Lu Xialan arranged the four exercises neatly on the table, looked at Chen Cheng with a smile, and asked

"I wonder which book Brother Chen wants? Or which books?"

Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Except for the first two, I want the remaining two, but..."

"I just hate the lack of financial resources!"

He took 8000 taels from Ding Zhuo before, but some time ago, he bought a lot of meat several times, and now he only has less than 5000 taels.

Hearing Chen Cheng say that he was poor, Lu Xialan showed a cheerful smile on his face.

"No Money?"

"If you don't have money and want it, my sister has a way."

Chen Cheng's face turned solemn when he saw Lu Xialan leaning back on the chair, holding her gills with one hand, and a pair of phoenix eyes scanning her body.

"If I were asked to marry Sister Xia Lan, I would be willing to live in a manor and ride a bloody horse."

Lu Xialan rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"You have great ideas, and I let you take advantage of all the good things I did together."

"What I mean is that our trading company has had some problems recently. My father is not feeling well, and there are other trading companies from the outside looking at us."

"Looking at Brother Chen, you are so eager to buy other skills. You must have mastered the gravel fist to copper skin and reached second blood, right?"

Chen Cheng thought for a while. In less than a month, he would appear in the ring of the championship. It would be okay if others knew about it now, so he nodded.

Lu Xialan's eyes lit up when she saw him nodding.

"Brother Chen, with your current strength and the Thunder Breaking Style, you should be able to compete with the leader level?"

Chen Cheng nodded again.

Lu Xialan smiled with satisfaction and told the situation the trading bank was facing now.

"The current situation in the trading house is not very good. My father pays attention to being kind to others when doing business, so he has met many master-level warriors, and he has also sponsored several master-level warriors."

"When he was in good health, no one wanted to cause trouble because of the reputation of his friends. But some time ago, he was bedridden, and the situation in the business suddenly became dangerous. Many opponents were eyeing him and began to make small moves."

"The method I mentioned before is, Brother Chen, are you willing to be a guest of my firm?"

"Ke Qing? What do you mean?"

Chen Cheng's face became serious.

Lu Xialan explained.

"As a guest of my business, I won't bother you with ordinary things. I just borrow your name. Only in special circumstances, such as when an opponent comes knocking on your door, you can just step in and intimidate me."

"As a guest guest, not only can these two martial arts secret books be given to you for free, but they will also provide 500 taels worth of Ningjin prescription medicinal materials needed for practice every month." Chen Cheng asked several more about the responsibilities that the guest guest needs to bear, and finally said

"It's okay if you want me to be your guest, but..."

"but what?"

Lu Xialan's face also became serious. She urgently needs a master-level warrior to take charge, otherwise the trading company will soon be unable to survive.

Even if Chen Cheng's request was a little more stringent, she could only agree.

Seeing Lu Xialan's face, Chen Cheng immediately stopped delaying and said directly
"But, I also want the secrets of the other two techniques!"

Lu Xialan was stunned when he heard this.

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Chen Cheng nodded seriously.

Soon after, Chen Cheng left Lu's Trading Company with the box in his arms.

He agreed to become a guest of Lu's Trading Company, and asked what forces were behind the scenes.

Take people's money and save people's disasters.

Chen Cheng still has a very professional ethics.

But Lu Xialan said that it was not needed for the time being. She regarded Chen Cheng as a special agent and wanted to find out the insider in the business.

Although Mr. Lu is not a martial arts expert, he was very active when he was young. Even though he later stopped practicing martial arts when he went into business, his body has always been strong.

This time I suddenly became bedridden. Someone must have tampered with me in some way.

Mr. Lu has always been cautious, so this accident must be caused by a mole.

After Lu Xialan finished speaking, he asked Chen Cheng to take away the four secret books, and also gave some ready-made Ningjin prescription potions.

Chen Cheng returned to the winery outside the city and took out several secret books to study them carefully.

Practicing the youth-preserving face-preserving skill is too expensive to practice. Those ladies of the world are not short of money at all, so they don’t care.

Those profiteers deserve to die. They increased the number of medicinal materials involved dozens of times, which made some martial arts schools that also used some of these medicinal materials want to scold them.

The main reason why Chen Cheng asked for this secret book was because it was the only one among them that could cultivate to the ninth level of blood.

It allows him to get a glimpse of his future cultivation direction.

After reading all four martial arts secret books, Chen Cheng had a general understanding of several martial arts.

"The Hardware Grinding Technique gradually absorbs five metals through a special condensing formula."

"Every time a metal is absorbed, the strength of the body will increase dramatically."

"The five metals mentioned in the secret book are all summarized through countless people's experiments. They are the five metals that are most suitable for the human body and will not cause special damage to the human body."

"These five metals are extremely difficult to refine, and because they are very compatible with the human body, they are comparable to gold of the same weight."

"By the way, gold is one of those metals."

Chen Cheng couldn't help but sigh, this is really like practicing with gold!
"The Burning Flame Palm is a poison technique. In normal practice, you need to use the corresponding toxins. During the practice, the toxins are absorbed into the palms, and then penetrated into the opponent's body when the energy is exerted."

"This technique requires continuous practice. Once you stop, you will enjoy the same or even more intense pain as the one who wields it."

"Because during the process of cultivation, both palms have been transformed, and fire poison will be produced every day. If it is not consumed during cultivation, it will flow into the body and reap the consequences."

Chen Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw this and touched the third lung on his chest.

"Is it fire poison? It happens to be restrained by my third lung, which suits me very well."
