During the Zhou Dynasty, there was the only medicine shop called Changchun Medicine Shop in Shitou Village, 20 kilometers away from Beiyuan City.
On weekdays, when people in the village are sick, they will come here to see a doctor and get medicine. Because the masters here are highly skilled in medicine, even people from other villages will come here to see a doctor when they are sick.
In Changchun Pharmacy, Su Yu carefully counted the medicinal materials delivered. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded and said: "Master, there is no problem with the medicinal materials sent."
The master is already over seventy years old. He has white hair and a childish face. He does not look like an old man at all. His back is always straight.
"Well, put it away after confirming that there is no problem." Master Liu Shi nodded and said, looking at the world outside the door, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Su Yu, how long have you been here?"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Three years."
I don’t know what the master means by asking this. Is it possible that he is willing to teach me martial arts?
Three years ago, he traveled to this world and wandered to Stone Village alone. Fortunately, he was rescued by Liu Shi and was accepted as his apprentice.
Once, he thought the master was just an ordinary doctor, but one day, he saw the master easily lift a stone mill weighing three hundred kilograms, which was stronger than the strongest man in the village.
Only then did I realize that there are warriors in this world.
He wanted to learn martial arts from his master and become a warrior.
In his previous life, he was weak and died of illness. In this life, he will become a warrior and pursue immortality!
However, the master has been unwilling to teach, as if he is afraid of something.
Today he is thirteen years old, which is one year late from the age of twelve suitable for practicing martial arts. Su Yu doesn't want to delay it anymore, he wants to practice martial arts and become a warrior!
"Master, I want to practice martial arts." Su Yu couldn't help but request again.
Su Yu has never seen a real warrior, but has heard that warriors are very strong. Some warriors can even split mountains with one palm, and some warriors can fly through the air. Of course, these are only seen in legends and villain books.
Pass.
But this aspect proves that to become a warrior, one can continuously improve one's own strength and escape from the ranks of ordinary people, only then can one be qualified to pursue martial arts.
"Hey, that's all, come with me and I'll teach you."
Liu Shi got up and locked the door of the medicine shop, took Su Yu to his yard, took out a yellowed book from his chest, and sent it to Su Yu.
"Health-preserving boxing?" Su Yu said in surprise.
This is different from what you imagined! How could it be a health-preserving boxing?
Su Yu thought that Su Yu would teach him offensive martial arts, but he actually gave him a book of health-preserving boxing?!
"Don't underestimate the health-preserving boxing. In the beginning, I relied on it to enter the martial arts. You should read it first, and then I will show it to you after you understand it."
Su Yu nodded slightly and could only read the book patiently.
Just like the title of the book, the whole set of boxing techniques does not have any lethality. The whole movement is as slow as an old man's, and it seems that it is really just used to maintain health.
After reading, Su Yu just closed the book, and an imperceptible light appeared in his eyes.
When he first traveled through time, Su Yu could see his attribute panel.
At the beginning, there was no skill. It was only after Su Yu came into contact with and understood the medicinal materials for a period of time that there was a skill.
Unfortunately, in three years, pharmacy has only increased to 30%, and life expectancy has not increased, falling from 33 to 30.
Su Yu guessed that it was because his potential was too low.
The potential value corresponds to the comprehension. The lower the comprehension, the slower learning will naturally be.
He also tried to think of ways to increase his potential, but he could never find a way.
Now, the addition of martial arts in the attribute panel gave Su Yu a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps, practicing martial arts can increase your potential.
Of course, this still needs time to try, Su Yu believes that there will be a way eventually.
"Master, I've finished reading it, but I'm still half confused and half-understood."
"Normally, watch me demonstrate it first, and then practice with me. After you master the basic movements, you can practice it by yourself. As for how far you can go, it depends on you."
"By the way, Master, what are the first few realms of a warrior?" Su Yu asked curiously.
"The first stage is the body training realm, which is divided into four levels. The first level is body training. After reaching this state, one arm can have a hundred kilograms of strength. It is not a problem to deal with three or five ordinary people. It is just based on the fact that ordinary people do not have swords.
On the basis of weapons, once the opponent holds a sword and you are only at the body-refining level, you will easily lose."
"The second level is internal strength, which strengthens the liver. The endurance will be greatly improved. It is comparable to a wild beast. One arm can have a strength of three hundred kilograms. At this level, even if you are injured, you will recover quickly, you will not get sick easily, and you will survive.
No problem until seventy or eighty."
"The third level is accumulating qi, which nourishes the true qi in the body. The true qi is difficult to leave the body. When attacking, the power will be greatly increased by attaching the true qi to oneself. At this level, it is not something that ordinary people can do with a sword.
It can be dealt with."
"The fourth level is innate. The true energy in the body is endless. The body is so refined that it can withstand ordinary swords. Its strength is unfathomable. Even if it faces an army of a hundred people, it can easily leave."
"I am only in the Qi-accumulating realm at the moment. I am now over seventy years old, and it will be difficult for me to make progress any more."
"Don't be too ambitious. If you can reach the physical training realm before the age of twenty and have the basic ability to protect yourself, then you will be satisfied as a teacher."
"As for the following realms, I only know about them. I don't know much about them. They are still too far away from you. It is useless for you to know them." Liu Shi said lightly.
In fact, Liu Shi felt that with Su Yu's talent, it was God-given luck to be able to reach inner strength, let alone the martial arts realm after innateness.
This is actually the reason why Liu Shi is unwilling to teach Su Yu martial arts. After entering martial arts, there will inevitably be more disputes. If you don't have the talent for martial arts, you will only attract disputes but will not be able to protect yourself.
Liu Shiyu said solemnly: "I teach you martial arts in the hope that you can have at least the ability to protect yourself, not to cause too much trouble, and to learn to retreat when you encounter injustice or unfair things."
It seems that the master is also a person with stories.
Su Yu sighed in his heart and nodded: "I understand."
After that, Liu Shi first demonstrated the complete movement process of the health-preserving boxing. The movements were slow, but as smooth as flowing water. The simple health-preserving boxing had a different feeling in Liu Shi's hands.
Su Yu secretly marveled, silently remembering the essentials of the action.
"Do you remember?" Liu Shi stopped his movements, exhaled a breath of thick air, and asked softly.
"I only remember part of it." Su Yu said a little embarrassed.
"Practice with me first." Liu Shi didn't mean to blame Su Yu.
Over and over again, practicing until almost noon, and spending two hours, Su Yu managed to perform a set of health-preserving punches with barely standard movements.
Liu Shi sighed as he watched.
Su Yu's talent can only be said to be below average, and he may not even be able to enter the inner strength realm.
"You practice first, I'll go back to the medicine shop and watch over you."
Since medical treatment costs a lot of money, no one will come to see you for ordinary minor illnesses. The medicine shop is usually busy on weekdays and there is no need for people to be there all the time.
If someone is really in a hurry to see a doctor, they will come directly to Liu Shi's house to see Liu Shi.
Su Yu practiced over and over again, opening the attribute panel from time to time to take a look, hoping that there would be surprising changes in the attribute panel.
After practicing for a day, Su Yu opened the attribute panel tiredly.
Su Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that his life span had increased by two years, his potential value had increased from one to two, and his health-preserving boxing had reached 3%!
The potential value has actually increased?!
Is it because the increase in my lifespan leads to an increase in potential value, or does the increase in potential value increase my lifespan?
Or is it the result of practicing martial arts?
Regardless of the outcome, Su Yu found a way to increase his lifespan and potential - practice martial arts!
As the potential value increases, the efficiency of practicing martial arts will increase, and you can go further in the martial arts. Practicing martial arts will also increase the potential value and life span.
In other words, as long as you keep studying martial arts and learning more advanced martial arts, your lifespan and potential will continue to increase!
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but breathe quickly and wanted to continue practicing.
However, my muscles ached and it was difficult to continue practicing the health-preserving boxing. It seemed to be the muscle soreness caused by relaxing.
At this time, Liu Shi came back and saw that Su Yu couldn't do the movements because of muscle soreness.
He said hurriedly: "Su Yu doesn't need to practice any more. Excessive practice will hurt the body."
Su Yu had to stop his movements and asked: "Master, I want to practice more, but I don't know if I can use medicine to assist."
"For example, body quenching powder or something?"
Su Yu knew that his master had a prescription called Body Tempering Powder, which was specifically used to assist in martial arts practice. It could improve the efficiency of martial arts practice and prolong the duration of martial arts practice.
"No, the Body Tempering Powder must wait until you reach the Body Forging Stage. Your current body will not be able to withstand the power of the medicine." Liu Shi warned very seriously.
The most important thing in practicing martial arts is to proceed step by step and not to rush.
Su Yu also knew this truth in his heart and sighed: "Okay."
In the days that followed, Su Yu helped his master go to the mountains to collect medicines during the day, visit medicine shops, and practice health-preserving boxing at night.
Spring goes and autumn comes and another year comes.
Su Yu's body has grown, and his body shape is close to the height of your man. Through continuous practice, he has tempered his body.
The body grew muscles one after another, full of masculinity.
In winter, at dusk.
The snowflakes were falling slightly, and Su Yu was practicing the health-preserving boxing as usual. Although the weather was cold, warmth gradually rose up in his body, swimming in his limbs and bones, and heat came out of his body.
Practicing over and over again, Su Yu's movements became more and more skillful and light, and the surrounding air seemed to become invisible water flow.
The silent wind of the fist fell on the snowflakes, scattering them, and the heat evaporated the snowflakes.
A stream of hot gas began to surge from the depths of the Dantian, circulating continuously in the body like a stream.
Click, click, Su Yu's bones made a sound under the influence of the hot gas.
An extremely comfortable feeling spread throughout my body, as if something inside my body had been broken.
Su Yu knew that his health-preserving boxing had finally achieved a breakthrough!
Name: Su Yu
Lifespan:51
Potential value: 5
Martial arts: health-preserving boxing (1% achieves small success)
Skill: Pharmacy (90% beginner level)
Opening the attributes panel, Su Yu's lifespan suddenly increased by ten years!
The potential value has also been increased a bit, becoming five points.
You know, in the previous year of practice, the potential value was only increased to 4 points. Now that the health-preserving boxing has achieved a small breakthrough, the potential value has actually increased a little.
It may seem like a small amount, but the improvement in understanding and cultivation efficiency it brings are huge!
"My body seems to have broken through..." Su Yu clenched his fists and came to the side of the stone mill weighing 100 kilograms.
Holding it with one hand and tightening the muscles, he could lift the stone mill weighing a hundred kilograms without wasting much effort. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is already considered a supernatural power!
My health-preserving boxing seems to have undergone some changes...
Su Yu put down the stone grinder and started practicing the health-preserving fist again, feeling the subtle changes after the breakthrough of the health-preserving fist.
There seemed to be a steady stream of power gushing out of the body, and the fatigue from just practicing gradually dissipated a lot.
The health-preserving boxing seemed to have more of a healing effect... Su Yu stopped his movements and took a long breath.
"Huh, I finally broke through to the body refining realm. You can ask the master for a prescription for body tempering powder!" Su Yu's eyes lit up, he wiped the sweat from his body and rushed to the drug store to find the master.
…
"Have you broken through to the body refining realm?" Liu Shi looked at Su Yu in disbelief, feeling that he had heard wrong.
He broke through to the body refining realm in just one year! I think back then, it took him five years to break through to the body refining realm.
Su Yu's talent is so terrifying?!
Could it be that I misjudged him?
Liu Shi was surprised and at the same time happy, and said with a smile: "Su Yu, your talent is quite good, it's completely beyond Master's expectations."
"Here, this is the prescription for Queti Powder. Many of the medicinal materials on it are not available here. You need to buy them yourself, or go to the depths of Qingling Mountain to collect herbs."
Liu Shi also wanted to take this opportunity to train Su Yu. After all, warriors can't just practice at home, they also need to go out to practice.
Su Yu took the prescription and took a rough look at it.
Wind essence grass, fierce sun fruit, three clear leaves...
The price of the medicinal materials is not low, almost a tael of silver in total.
The money I have saved now is only enough for three copies of the Body Tempering Powder...
The master didn't tell me how to make money, did he want me to find it myself?
In the past, Su Yu had only collected herbs on the outskirts of Qingling Mountain with his master, but had never gone deep into it. It might be very dangerous to go deep alone.
Su Yu planned to get some body tempering powder to improve his strength first, and gave up the method of going up the mountain to collect herbs first.
"Thank you Master, I will work hard on my own." Su Yu returned the prescription to Master and said gratefully.
On the way back, Su Yu thought as he walked, many of these medicinal materials can only be bought in Beiyuan City. It is a twenty-kilometer trip. With my current physical strength, I can get there very quickly. The distance is not a problem.
What worries Su Yu is that he will encounter bandits and bandits on the road.
The Zhou Dynasty has entered its final years, the emperor is fatuous, rogue bandits are prevalent, and many civilians have died at the hands of rogue bandits.
Although the area near Stone Village is relatively peaceful, the possibility of encountering rogue bandits cannot be ruled out.
Su Yu's current strength is not enough to deal with the bandits with weapons.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Yu planned to practice for a while and practice using a knife or sword during the period. It would not be too late to start when he feels it is suitable!
