Chapter 52 Yin Ruyu
The skin smoothing process is progressing at lightning speed.
This greatly excited Liu Sheng.
Back at the martial arts school, he continued his daily routine, including practicing the Thousand Character Classic, the Earth Element Visualization Diagram, Bajiquan, and the Golden Bell Cover.
Among them, the Golden Bell Cover training involved finding some formal disciples to beat him up with Bajiquan.
The formal disciples were able to practice their skills, and Liu Sheng made progress in mastering the Golden Bell Shield technique. Everyone was happy.
Liu Sheng also shared the good news with Lu You that he had obtained and used the precious medicine.
They learned of this precious medicine through the Yan family. Liu Sheng also promised to return one more if he obtained another such medicine in the future.
Lu You listened and nodded and smiled.
"Junior brother, this is exactly right. You reap what you sow. If you want to give back to the Third Young Master Yan Zhan a plant, when you reach the eighth rank, you will definitely have to participate in some sect missions. There will be many fortuitous encounters and opportunities to obtain precious herbs."
Lu recalled that his master had offered to cover all of Liu Sheng's cultivation needs.
It was Master who stopped them.
In retrospect, Liu Sheng has relied on himself to get on the right track and become self-sufficient.
The effect is significantly better.
Upon learning that Liu Sheng might break through to the ninth rank of Skin Polishing Perfection at any time, it was discovered that...
Reaching the peak of the Skin Polishing stage means that one can begin practicing the Body Refining Technique and attempt to break through to the Body Refining Realm.
As is customary.
The senior disciple also explained the basic content of the Flesh Refining Realm in advance:
"The Flesh Training Realm, as the name suggests, trains the muscles of the whole body. It requires the stimulation of medicine and the tempering of qi and blood. In the end, the muscles are trained to be strong and full, with quick reactions, enough to carry heavy loads and run, and gradually break free from the limitations of mortal body."
Lu You then began listing the surrounding martial arts schools.
Several mainstream meat-training methods for humans:
"For example, the Wild Bull Muscle Training Method, the Sirius Muscle Training Method, the Jaguar Muscle Training Method, etc., although they all mainly train a person's muscles, they are slightly different from each other, some emphasizing blood and qi, some emphasizing strength, some emphasizing agility... The final differences between the above muscle training methods are not significant, and you can choose any of them."
Liu Sheng focused his attention and listened attentively.
To make sure he remembered, he even dipped his fingers in water.
He sketched on the table, making some important notes, or rather, a comparison table of the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques.
He was thinking.
Previously, the senior brother said that one must polish the skin to perfection, and make the skin membrane tough enough to withstand the swelling during muscle training, before one can begin muscle training practice.
Otherwise, if the membrane is not strong enough, it will not be able to contain the subsequently expanding muscles, and in severe cases, it may even cause the body to split open and lead to death.
So I still have time.
Next, let's slowly think about and compare the advantages and disadvantages of these three meat-building methods, as well as the different drug prices among them.
Even though I now have a fortune of over 300 taels of silver, I can't get too cocky!
The road to martial arts is long and arduous.
We still need to use it sparingly.
It's best to use something that offers good value for money.
After all, we still need to save some money for the future, so we can buy meat and medicine for our father, and also buy him an apartment in the south of the city!
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother changed the subject again:
"But... junior brother, I suggest you choose the Vajra Flesh-Refining Method!"
Upon hearing about this muscle-building method that hadn't been mentioned before, Liu Sheng was taken aback.
Then silently extend your finger.
He wiped away the notes made of water on the table one by one.
Although it wasn't the first time.
But Liu Sheng's face still twitched slightly:
"Hmm... what's so unique about this Vajra Flesh-Refining Technique? And why does it sound like a Buddhist practice to me?"
Lu You smiled and said, "There are many benefits! And you guessed right, Junior Brother, it really is a Buddhist technique."
It turns out that this Vajra Flesh-Refining Method was a Buddhist practice that the patriarch Zhang Tianxing obtained from his close friend, the eminent monk Hong Bian.
This technique also had a certain degree of popularity among the rebel army.
"Oh, so it's a direct transmission from a master, certified by the founder, and with many fellow rebels practicing it. Not bad!"
Liu Sheng thought to himself.
Master Hongbian remembered that he was the eminent monk who painted "Young Zhang Tianxing Drawing His Sword".
Drawing visualization diagrams also requires martial arts skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This Master Hong Bian must also have a high level of martial arts skill.
Lu You also explained the specific reasons why he helped Liu Sheng make the choice.
He believed that Liu Sheng's skin was far stronger than that of an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist, which was almost equivalent to having an extra life when he went out.
But it's still not safe enough.
This Vajra Muscle Training Method is the most effective at hardening muscles among many muscle training methods.
When cultivated to perfection, the muscles become as hard as iron, similar to the Golden Bell Cover, but without conflict.
Lu Youdu wondered if Liu Sheng could cultivate the Vajra Flesh Refining Technique and one day reach the eighth-grade Flesh Refining Perfection. At that time, would a strike from a seventh-grade Tendon Changing Realm expert be able to injure this junior brother?
I heard about the special features of the Vajra Flesh-Refining Method.
Liu Sheng was dumbfounded.
"Is this going to stack armor to the limit?" he thought to himself.
But upon closer examination, it is indeed feasible.
Putting everything else aside, just hearing it gives me a sense of security.
Liu Sheng decisively chose this method of muscle training.
The senior brother then explained in detail the specific training method of this Vajra Flesh-Refining Technique, which mainly involves pounding oneself to stimulate muscle activity, combined with medicinal baths to strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the vital energy.
Upon hearing the word "pounding," Liu Sheng immediately thought of the Golden Bell Shield technique he was currently practicing. Perhaps he could use it again? He was already quite impatient.
However, we still have to wait until the skin smoothing is complete.
He dared not risk dying from a splitting in his body.
Just to be on the safe side, the senior brother said he would come to get the medicine list after his skin resurfacing was complete.
"Alright, thank you, Senior Brother."
Liu Sheng was full of anticipation.
After dinner, he bid farewell to everyone.
He took the ginseng and brocade and went home.
As Liu Sheng walked along the road, he saw many notices posted on the nearby walls.
Furthermore, there was a head constable directing some constables to post new notices nearby.
Liu Sheng walked closer to take a look.
"Wow, the Black Fox Gang's recruitment notices have even been posted all over Martial Arts Street," he thought to himself.
The Black Fox Gang's territory is in the west of the city, separated from here by the city's market.
Moreover, Liu Sheng heard that the Black Fox Gang is currently at war with the Mingsha Gang. Could it be that the Black Fox Gang has to borrow a route from the Beggars' Gang in the north to come here and post recruitment notices?
Liu Sheng felt a surge of joy at the thought.
But he soon stopped laughing.
He noticed that next to the Black Fox Gang's notices, there were many missing person posters.
These are all posted by ordinary families, with notices saying their children are missing. There are more than a dozen of these missing person notices on one wall.
Liu Sheng remembered that his second senior sister had stopped the Black Fox Gang from snatching the beggar couple's child.
"Child... Black Fox Gang... Is there some connection between the two?"
Liu Sheng muttered to himself and began to look at the new notice posted by the constables next to him. The notice also reminded families to keep a close eye on their children and not let them wander around.
Seeing that there was nothing new, Liu Sheng prepared to go back.
"Please wait, young master."
Liu Sheng heard a voice, and it turned out to be a woman's voice.
Then he turned to look at the female constable who had spoken.
When the female constable saw Liu Sheng, dressed in the attire of a true disciple of the Bajiquan School, she originally intended to call him "Hero."
Who would have thought that when the word "this one" was mentioned, the true disciple was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face.
I just couldn't bring myself to call him "brave warrior," so I changed it to "young master."
Liu Sheng was also observing the other person. He saw that the other person had a black turban on his head, which slightly covered a few strands of hair that had strayed out. His face was lightly powdered, and there seemed to be a hint of panic between his brows.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Upon hearing this, the female constable finally came to her senses. She composed herself and said, "My name is Yin Ruyu, and I am the newly appointed constable of Crescent Moon County. I seem to have overheard you, young master, mentioning some connection between the Black Fox Gang and the missing child?"
"I do have some observations and experiences."
When Liu Sheng saw that the other party was indeed a constable and claimed to be surnamed Yin, he thought that in the county town, most of the county army and constable teams came from the Yin family and the forces to which the Yin family belonged, and a small number of them were from the Kang family.
The person I'm seeing is most likely a young lady from the Yin family.
If she could become a head constable, then her status in the Yin family must be quite high.
He then recounted in detail to Constable Yin what he had seen and heard in front of the Red Willow Restaurant.
Yin Ruyu had just taken office and was indeed unfamiliar with the environment. She had to confirm some unclear details with Liu Sheng multiple times.
Liu Sheng thought that if he could provide clues, these children might be found sooner, which would be a good deed, so he patiently answered their questions one by one.
"I see, thank you, young master."
"You're too kind, sir. It's just my duty."
Liu Sheng bowed and took his leave.
Seeing such a responsible constable is truly remarkable.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Liu Sheng had walked away, Yin Ruyu realized, "I completely forgot to ask his name..."
