Inside the bedroom of a suburban manor.

Shi Mu sat on the chair, looked at a small bottle on the table in front of him, thinking about something with a deep thought...

Suddenly, several knocks came from outside.

"Come in"

Shi Mu didn't raise his head and said lightly.

As the door opened, a pretty figure walked in with a wooden plate, and skillfully placed a bowl of enthusiastic meat porridge on the table.

"Miss Zhong, you are here again. Didn't I say that you don't need to do these rough tasks?" Shi Mu then raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him and said, shaking his head.

The person in front of me was Zhong Xiu.

Since entering the manor, this woman has been grateful to Shi Mu for taking in it, and has been actively pouring tea and delivering food at her residence these days.

"Brother Shi, you haven't eaten anything for the whole day, so you'd better eat some food. I stew this bowl of porridge on slow heat myself." Zhong Xiuwen said softly, even though the Qingji on his forehead was shocking, it still gave people a gentle and moving feeling.

"Have you not eaten for a day? Since that's the case, I'm not polite." Shi Mu was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly.

Then, he picked up the bowl full of meat porridge in front of him, drank the things inside in a few seconds, and let out a satisfying sigh.

"Miss Zhong, this meat porridge is really delicious. I really didn't expect that you have such cooking skills. Whoever wants to marry you in the future will be considered a blessing."

"Brother Shi was joking. With my simple posture, who can see this? But if Brother Shi really likes my skills, Xiu'er can cook often in the future." Zhong Xiu couldn't help but blush appeared on his fair face and replied with joy.

"If that's the case, I..."

Shi Mu smiled at the girl, and was about to say something else, suddenly the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then Zhang Suo broke in and said in a hurry:

"Master Shi, the manager of the Jin family is here, and I will see you right away."

"Old Mr. Cheng, okay, I'll go and see you." Shi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but replied without hesitation. Then he put away the small bottle on the table and walked out strode.

Zhang Suo naturally chased after him in a blatant manner.

After hesitating for a while, Zhong Xiu followed.

A moment later, outside the manor gate, Shi Mu looked at the silver notes handed over by Jin Cheng, and his face was a little gloomy:

"So, my Qi Ling Pill is gone, but it's replaced by 30,000 taels of snowflakes. Very good, the market price of Qi Ling Pill is only 10,000 taels of silver. So, I still make a big profit."

"Well, Mr. Shi, the mistress has tried her best, and she even went to the master's house in Jin's house to make a big fuss. But this matter was spoken by the ancestor himself, and the mistress had no choice. Even the 30,000 taels of silver was paid by the mistress himself. In addition, the mistress asked me to bring a message to Mr. Shi. Although she could no longer provide the Qi Ling Pill, the other conditions promised at the beginning were still valid." The old man in green coughed and explained.

Speaking of which, the manager of the Jin family always had a good impression of Shi Mu. After knowing that he had inspired the news of the waste vein, he felt a little regretful.

"It turned out that it was the ancestor of the Jin family. This is hard for Aunt Zhen." Shi Mu was a little surprised after hearing this, and then he slowly took the silver bill.

"Young Master Shi knows that the mistress is working hard! In addition, the mistress said that someone in the Jin family may take the opportunity to embarrass Mr. Shi during this period. It is better for Mr. Shi to avoid going to the city during this period." Jin Cheng thought about it and said with a reminder.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Aunt Zhen for helping me." Shi Mu nodded slightly.

"Then the old slave will say goodbye first. By the way, if Master Shi really doesn't give up on the warrior, I will have a good place to go here." Seeing that Shi Mu could still remain calm after hearing these words, the old man in the green shirt couldn't help but smile on his face. He actually took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Mu, and then left.

Shi Mu stood at the gate and kept witnessing the old man disappearing, still holding three silver notes and the note in his hand.

Zhong Xiu and Zhang Suo were listening all the time.

The girl vaguely understood something, and her eyes looked at Shi Mu and couldn't help but look worried, while Zhang Suo's face was full of confusion, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the previous conversation between Shi Mu and Jin Cheng.

...

That night, Shi Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with the small bottle he took out at noon in his hand, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Is the stone monkey useless vein?"

"Hehe, I don't believe I'm a waste!"

"Mother, don't worry, since I have already determined to become a strong man in the world, I will never give up halfway and will embarrass you. What is a mere waste of meridians? It's not that all the meridians are broken!"

After Shi Mu murmured these words, he suddenly opened the bottle cap, poured out a milky white pill, and took it in one mouthful.

It was the mysterious girl who claimed to be a girl from Tianyin, and the Qi Ling Pill that she gave her at the beginning.

This pill was originally as hard as iron. As soon as it entered Shi Mu's mouth, it immediately turned into a soft and sweet cotton-like fragrance. In just a few breaths, it turned into a ball of body fluid that went straight down the throat, and then turned into a hot energy that dissipated in the stomach and intestines and opened.

"boom"

Shi Mu only felt a roar in his head, and his facial features felt several times more sensitive than before. At the same time, it became extremely itchy everywhere in his body.

He immediately sat cross-legged with his knees, his eyelids drooped, and his expression was extremely solemn.

...

At the same time

A quiet room in Jin Mansion.

A middle-aged man, facing the boy with a similar face in front of him, cursing him in a slight manner.

"Waste, waste! You also said that Shi Mu is a waste. I think he is worse than his waste vein. You are the real waste. This is the second time you have taken Qi Ling Pill. Didn't you say that you were 100% sure to understand the Qi feeling this time? What's going on now? How could I give birth to a useless son like you? If I had known this, why would I have to spend such a big price to snatch Qi Ling Pill from Qi Mei? It would be better to leave it to Shi Mu, and I could spend less money."

The middle-aged man became more and more angry as he spoke. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the boy in the face, then opened the door and left angrily.

"Shi Mu"

Jinda stroked his swollen face and gritted his teeth and called someone's name.

...

Half a day later, Shi Mu pressed his abdomen with one hand, sensing a little hot air in his body that faintly appeared under his hands, and he felt a little surprised.

This is the feeling of qi!

If it weren't for the power of Qi Ling Pill, it would be impossible to sense its existence.

Now, as long as he finds a acquired martial art, he can cultivate the true energy that only acquired martial artists can have.

In a sense, he is now considered a real warrior.

After a while, Shi Mu moved his mind away from his body, took out the note of gold from his sleeve, and then spread it out and read it carefully.

"Three frontier states! Military Martial Arts Hall!"

After a while, the boy murmured.
