A "live" is a registered disciple who is in charge of affairs.
Just like Zhang Chong before him, Zhong Chao now has more than a dozen people under his command. These people obey his orders and need him to assign tasks. Zhong Chao can retain half of the 70% of the profits they turn over (the welfare of the registered disciples of the hall owner,
Ordinary stewards don’t have that much).
But, how should I put it, those assigned to Zhong Chao were all low-level warriors. The tasks they could complete in a day were limited, and the rewards for the rich children were almost non-existent.
This makes him unable to earn a few dollars a day.
"No wonder Zhang Chong was so kind to me at that time. I earned more than ten people."
One tael of silver a day, this is what Zhong Chao gets from being a steward.
This money... is not that small in strict terms. One tael of silver, which is one thousand copper coins, can buy 200,300 large meat buns, and 500 pure noodle buns. This is enough for poor people to spend several months.
But it is enough for other people, but not for Zhong Chao.
He eats more than ten meals a day, all of which are large pieces of meat. One tael of silver is really not enough, not counting other expenses.
——The efficiency of his own training was too low, so Zhong Chao had the idea of finding a blood-changing warrior to help him beat him, but the price of a blood-changing warrior, even if he only hired one person, started at 1.5 taels of silver.
And Zhong Chao has strong recovery ability, so if he really needs to find a blood-changing warrior to train him, he would have to look for him more than ten or twenty times a day.
"Forget it, forget it...I'll just use other methods to exercise."
Zhong Chao, who was frightened by the exaggerated price, immediately found other methods.
Relying on his past life experiences, he actually found several ways to hurt himself.
"How about I find a tall building and jump from it? Or get a hanging hammer and use potential energy to hammer it?"
These two methods can only be said to be useful, but they are too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and were rejected by Zhong Chao.
However, although he rejected the above two items, after several days of thinking, he really found a way that did not cost money and was extremely effective.
"Water pressure!"
"Land and ocean are different. Entering the seabed requires overcoming huge pressure."
"300 meters is the ultimate depth for most submarines in the world. In the deep sea of 300 meters, divers have to withstand 31 atmospheres of pressure, 30 more than on land, which is equivalent to the human body having to withstand about 30 kilograms of pressure per square centimeter. In
Under this kind of pressure, humans will feel that bones are very close to each other, and even simple movements such as raising hands and moving feet will be very laborious."
"By practicing martial arts in deep water, I can not only hone my defense, but also my strength."
Of course, not everyone can train in deep water. To train like this, you need to hold your breath for a very long time. Otherwise, you will have to come up soon after diving, which will be a waste of time.
But it just so happened that Zhong Chao had a steam turbine improved by Yi Qi Jue, and it also had the property of not leaking. He was a master in holding his breath.
"If I don't visualize the high-heat steam, I just visualize the ordinary air, and I stay motionless under the water. Thanks to the non-leakage characteristic, the endurance of the five internal organs increases, and I can hold my breath underwater for nearly an hour."
"Even with strenuous activities, I can persist for 10-15 minutes, which just meets the conditions for underwater training."
"Moreover, Jujiang City is adjacent to the river and the sea, so there is no shortage of places with deep water."
However, after finding a good training method, his face was very troubled and he had the idea of changing the basic method.
The reason for this is that a few days ago, after he became a disciple, the owner of the hall, Yuan Ming, summoned him alone and gave him some guidance on his practice.
Guidance must first be understood. After learning that he practiced Pure Yang Golden Bell, the owner of the gym once said bluntly: "Change it, you can't practice this technique."
After noticing Zhong Chao's surprise and reluctance, he also explained.
"The power of this technique is indeed very strong. In terms of laying the foundation, it is considered top-notch. Even the royal family has people practicing it. However, without meditation, thousand-year-old ice and other magical objects, whoever practices this technique will die.
"
"Is it that serious?"
"It's so serious... You should feel the healing effect of Yuanyang Qi on your body. As your cultivation deepens and your body becomes leak-free, the Yuanyang Qi in your body will become stronger and stronger, and your desires will also increase."
It’s getting more and more intense. In the end, ordinary training, even running for a day, can’t vent your energy completely. Do you know what will happen then?”
After thinking about it based on his own situation, Zhong Chao said: "Self-harm."
Yuan Ming was stunned for such a sober answer, but soon he smiled and said:
"You are very smart, but you are self-mutilating. In the later stages of practicing Pure Yang Golden Bell, in order to vent the Yuan Yang Qi in the body, people who practice this skill will continue to mutilate their bodies... But such mutilation can indeed
Consuming Yuanyang Qi, but consuming a large amount of Yuanyang Qi will also delay the time for you to condense pure Yang Qi. If you keep hurting yourself, you will never be able to successfully practice this technique."
"..."
This situation is indeed a dead end.
Before Zhong Chao could find a way, the owner Yuan Ming continued:
"And self-mutilation is not the biggest danger of this technique... In the later stages of practice, excessive vitality will keep your body in a state of excitement. At this time, your body will be active and you can last for ten or twenty days without rest.
But, you can only be physically active."
"??!!!!"
At the beginning, Zhong Chao didn't understand the meaning of the museum owner's words, but soon he thought of some interrogation information from his previous life.
As for punishment, some people can endure physical punishment, even lingchi, but it is difficult for many people to persist in mental punishment.
Famous mental experiments include sensory deprivation, fatigue interrogation, and water drop test.
The fatigue interrogation involved in this interrogation is to have people stare at the prisoner in turns during the interrogation, and not let him sleep. After a few days of this, the interrogator's spirit will directly collapse. In order to rest, he will sign no matter what you write.
Modern science has analyzed the dangers of not sleeping for a long time in great detail.
"Not sleeping for a long time can lead to mood disorders, depression, irritability, inattention, memory loss, and in more serious cases, cognitive function decline... In the later stages of the Pure Yang Golden Bell Mask, I will feel energetic because of the
, unable to sleep for more than ten or twenty days... This does not mean that there is a chance of going crazy, but if you cannot solve these problems, you will definitely go crazy."
Zhong Chao felt a little trembling when he thought that he was mentally exhausted, but his body was extremely excited, and he couldn't fall asleep. This situation lasted for half a month.
Realizing that Zhong Chao understood the seriousness of the matter, the owner asked him to choose the Vajra Indestructible Power.
This is an advanced skill in terms of hard skills. Although the power of the skill is not as powerful as the Pure Yang Golden Bell, it is almost harmless.
After hearing this, Zhong Chao wanted to change his technique immediately.
However, Zhong Chao was speechless after entering the Sutra Pavilion and watching the situation of this technique.
[To practice this skill, you need to apply the blood of the golden beast to the skin and take the juice of the immortal herb...]
After understanding the whole thing, he found that this technique did not have the energy of Yuanyang, and naturally, it also lacked the exaggerated restorative power of the Pure Yang Golden Bell.
If that was all, Zhong Chao could still endure it, but then he discovered that he needed a lot of ointments to practice this technique.
No, it should be said that normal advanced exercises require a lot of medicinal materials to assist.
After all, the human body has its limits. If you want to break the limit, you need external objects to supplement it.
The Pure Yang Golden Bell is a special case - most of the strengthening effects of this technique are achieved by Yuanyang Qi. The only golden ointment is also the upper limit of growth, not a necessity for practice.
But because of this, a large amount of Yuanyang Qi accumulated in the body, causing various situations.
"So, I want to break through the limits and build the most solid foundation, either by going to extremes (Yuan Yang Qi), or by filling myself up with a lot of precious medicines!"
