Now that he had decided, Luo Chen didn't think too much about it.
After adjusting my mood and stabilizing my mind, I began to follow the methods recorded in the Qi-Yin Jue to transfer the qi and blood in the body to strengthen my body.
…
As winter turns to spring, it has been three months since Luo Chen came to this world.
Luo Chen, who had just celebrated his seventh birthday, was having dinner with his family. Three months later, Luo Chen was much stronger and taller than before.
"Madam, take more guards with you when you go to Gushan Town tomorrow, and pay attention to safety on the road."
While eating, Luo Tianhe warned Wang Yuying. Wang Yuying managed the property of Ziwu Villa and the outside industries, and would go to Gushan Town to inspect the properties every once in a while.
"Well, it's only such a short distance, just let Li Tian take a few people to follow."
Wang Yuying nodded and said with a smile.
Luo Chen, who was sitting aside eating his rice, felt moved after hearing what his parents said.
He has been watched by Luo Tianhe practicing martial arts in the past few months. Although Ziwu Villa is only four or five miles away from Gushan Town, he has never been there once.
Moreover, the cultivation speed of Qi-Yining Jue was slow. Luo Chen had long wanted to get some medicinal materials to prepare the elixirs recorded in the elixir book for the body-building realm to speed up the strengthening of the body and increase the strength.
Of course, there are medicinal materials in the villa, but they are all managed by Mr. Sun and Luo Yan. If he wants to use them, he will be discovered and there will be no explanation at that time, so he can only go outside to get the medicinal materials.
So, Luo Chen said: "Mom, are you going to Gushan Town tomorrow? Can I go with you?"
"What are you going to do? Just stay at the villa and practice."
Before Wang Yuying could speak, Luo Tianhe refused with a straight face.
Wang Yuying didn't want to take Luo Chen there, mainly because she was afraid that something would happen to him. Wang Yuying was still worried about what happened three months ago.
Seeing this, Luo Chen pretended to look at Wang Yuying pitifully: "Mom, I have been practicing martial arts for three months, and I have been bored all winter. I want to go out for a walk."
Wang Yuying looked at Luo Chen's appearance, her heart softened, and she agreed: "That's fine, you can go with mother tomorrow! But you have to listen to mother and don't run around."
"Thank you, mother! Chen'er will definitely listen to you."
Luo Chen responded hurriedly, fearing that Wang Yuying would regret it.
"Madam?" Luo Tianhe looked at Wang Yuying dissatisfied.
Wang Yuying smiled slightly and said to Luo Tianhe: "Husband, don't worry! It's only five miles away, I will keep an eye on him."
Hearing this, Luo Tianhe had no choice but to nod in agreement.
However, he still warned Luo Chen: "For the sake of your usual hard work in practice, I will give you a day off this time, but you have to listen to your mother."
"I got it, Dad!"
Luo Chen responded with a cheerful face, and even Luo Ze glared at him without paying attention.
The next day, Luo Chen got up early in the morning, put on his clothes, washed up, and took his knife to the lobby.
After breakfast, Luo Chen followed Wang Yuying and Zhixiang to the entrance of the courtyard. At this time, a carriage that could accommodate four or five people was parked at the entrance of the courtyard. There were seven guards holding horses around the carriage.
"I have met Madam, Master."
At this time, a slender man among the seven guards, wearing a black outfit with a purple mist pattern, came over with a long gun and saluted Wang Yuying and Luo Chen.
This person is Li Tian, the guard commander of Ziwu Villa. He is 35 years old and has a third-rate late-stage ability.
Li Tian was rescued by Luo Tianhe and the others from Scarface's bandit den 17 years ago. At that time, his family was killed by the bandits. When they were about to kill him, Luo Tianhe and the others happened to kill him and rescued him.
.
In that battle, Li Tian also blocked Luo Tianhe's sword. Therefore, Luo Tianhe always regarded Li Tian as his brother, and Li Tian regarded Ziwu Villa as his home.
"Commander Li, thank you for your hard work. Are you ready?" Wang Yuying asked.
"Uncle Li!" Luo Chen also stepped forward and called out.
Li Tian smiled and nodded to Luo Chen, and then said to Wang Yuying: "Everything is ready and you can leave at any time."
"Well, let's go then!" After Wang Yuying said that, she took Luo Chen's hand and led Zhixiang into the carriage.
"Set off!"
Li Tian got on the horse and with a wave of his hand, five guards followed and got on the horse. One guard drove the carriage. Everyone walked slowly towards the outside of Ziwu Villa.
After Luo Chen got on the carriage, he opened the curtain and looked outside. When he saw the guard on horseback, he couldn't help but feel envious.
He also wanted to go horse riding outside, but when he brought it up, Wang Yuying sternly refused.
After the convoy passed through the General Affairs Hall of Ziwu Villa, it appeared on the spacious martial arts training ground of the Villa.
This martial arts training ground is where the villa guards and disciples practice martial arts. It is separated by a bluestone paved avenue. On both sides of the martial arts training ground are rows of neat small courtyards. Each small courtyard has five rooms and a lobby, which can accommodate ten people.
Residence, this is the living area for the guards and disciples.
Ziwu Villa currently has 48 guards and 65 disciples.
Every period of time, the villa will recruit a group of disciples around the age of ten from outside.
At this time, those who want their children to learn martial arts can send their children to the villa for assessment. After passing the assessment, they can pay a fee to allow their children to practice martial arts here for six years.
Six years later, those who have cultivated their true qi will continue to stay in the villa and become guards. Those who have not cultivated their true qi can choose to stay in the villa, or they can choose to leave and go home.
Because Ziwu Villa keeps a low profile and does not expand externally, its source of income is only some properties and shops in Qingshan Town, with a monthly income of less than two thousand taels.
After providing for the entire villa's expenses, the villa's income is already stretched thin. Therefore, it has been 17 years since the Ziwu Villa was established, and there are only more than a hundred people in total.
After Luo Chen and his party left Ziwu Villa, they walked for more than ten minutes and arrived at Gushan Town, five miles away.
Gushan Town has a permanent population of nearly 4,000 people and nearly 200 shops of various sizes.
Most of these shops are located on the two main streets of Gushan Town, which form a cross street. One of the streets from northeast to southwest leads to Daheng Mountain, which is ten miles away.
As an important supply town in and out of Daheng Mountain, Gushan Town has many Jianghu and businessmen coming and going.
People in the Jianghu enter and exit Daheng Mountain from here to hunt and collect various cultivation resources they need.
Merchants set up shops here to buy wild beasts hunted by mountain people and hunters, as well as various medicinal materials and ores collected, or transport things from other places to sell here.
Therefore, although Gushan Town is a town, there are still people coming and going, and it is very prosperous and lively, no worse than the county town.
Ziwu Villa has three stores in Gushan Town. One weapons shop specializes in selling various weapons forged by the Villa's foundry and accepting customization of various weapons.
A grocery store, which was Wang Yuying's dowry back then, specializes in purchasing leather goods, medicinal materials and various rare ores produced in Daheng Mountain.
A restaurant was left to Wang Yuying's father before he died of illness.
The three stores are all located at the best intersection in Gushan Town.
Wang Yuying took Luo Chen to the weapons shop first. The cabinets and shelves in the shop were filled with weapons of various styles. The cheap ones were made of ordinary iron ore, and the expensive ones were all forged from dark iron. Luo Chen even
