"Huh? Is this a Dragon Roaring Grass that is about 30 years old?"
Miao Qingyun picked up one of the herbs and examined it carefully.
He sniffed it with his nose, his eyes slightly brightened.
After a moment, he checked the other two herbs.
He put them back on the counter.
"I am willing to pay two taels of silver for these three herbs. What do you think?"
He said calmly and confidently.
The price he offered was already very fair.
"Then let's trade."
Lu Changsheng smiled and agreed directly.
Even if he went to a few more places, the price would not be much higher.
Two taels of silver were enough for him to get started with the Iron Shirt.
The most urgent task was to quickly improve his own strength. If he wasted time for a few more copper coins, it would be a waste of time.
Miao Qingyun smiled and took out two taels of silver and put it on the counter.
"Please keep it, sir."
He put away the three herbs.
"Yes."
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, picked up the silver and turned to walk out.
After leaving the pharmacy, he walked quickly along the street.
There were more and more figures on both sides, and there were bursts of conversations and bargaining in the air.
There were also many rich and beautiful women who brought their daughters out to play.
This world is quite open-minded, and there is no such thing as women having to stay married.
There were even some young women who boldly flirted with Lu Changsheng after seeing him, causing the women around them to laugh.
Lu Changsheng was born quite handsome, and he had added a bit of masculinity to his martial arts training these days.
Naturally, some women "liked" him very much.
With this "background", if he decided to lie down and eat gigolo, he would have a great chance of achieving his wish.
Lu Changsheng smiled dumbly, put away his thoughts, and soon walked to a meat stall.
A big man wearing coarse linen clothes and full of flesh stood in front of the stall, holding a butcher knife.
"How much is this whole lamb?"
Lu Changsheng pointed to the whole lamb on the left.
"One tael of silver."
The strong man raised his eyelids and whispered a few words.
Lu Changsheng frowned. The price of meat has risen again.
The purchasing power of silver is still very strong. One tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and sometimes there is even a slight premium.
In the past, one tael of silver could buy two sheep, but now the price has doubled.
"Alas... Grain prices have skyrocketed in the past six months, and meat prices will naturally follow suit..."
the sturdy man explained casually.
"Give me a bag to put it in."
Lu Changsheng nodded expressionlessly and threw one tael of silver on the other side's stall.
"Okay."
The sturdy man's face lit up, and he took out a sack, put the whole mutton in it, and then handed it to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng carried the mutton and walked to the back.
Everything was ready, and he had no intention of playing, so he started to return the same way.
As he walked along, just as he reached a corner, he heard a familiar voice.
"Brother, we have looted more than ten taels of silver from the kid from the Lu family, which is enough for us to live happily."
"That kid didn't take the initiative to honor his elder brother. He's really looking for death..."
Two men in blue tights were walking away along the street.
Each of them was holding a long knife in their hands, and they were talking in a low voice while walking.
One of them was tall, like a mountain, full of oppression.
A pair of tiger eyes were full of murderous intent.
This man was Zhao Erhu, the leader of the Sanhe Gang.
When Lu Changsheng heard the conversation between the two, he immediately stopped and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
This man had his head chopped off by this man, and not only did he rob his blood money, but also all the property in his home was looted by him.
If the other party knew that he was "resurrected from the dead", I'm afraid trouble would come immediately.
This man is already on his must-kill list.
However, as one of the two top gangs in Changping County, the Sanhe Gang has many strong people inside, and it is not something he can provoke at the moment.
The other party was involved in some of the water transport businesses and the brothel medicinal materials business in Changping County, and the involvement was very extensive.
He had no choice but to lie dormant first.
After his martial arts were initially mastered, he would seek revenge on the other party.
Lu Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
After watching the two people gradually walk away with his peripheral vision, he walked out of the corner and rushed home.
He hurried all the way and soon arrived at the center of his yard.
After he processed the whole portion of mutton a little, he began to stew a large pot.
He also gave a few pounds of meat to Fang Qing and her brother next door. It was not his style to eat alone.
After receiving the mutton, the two siblings were quite surprised.
However, Fang Qing and the others did not ask much, just thinking that it was the family fortune left by Uncle Lu.
Time passed slowly.
Soon it was noon.
After eating and drinking, Lu Changsheng came to the center of the yard and began to stand.
He stood with his legs crossed, his arms clasped in an arc shape, his eyes looking forward, very solemn.
Even his breathing was accompanied by an inexplicable rhythm.
This magical posture is the standing posture in the first picture of Iron Shirt, and it is also the fundamental practice.
As Lu Changsheng gradually entered the state, the mutton in his stomach began to digest quickly, and waves of warm currents emerged.
The deficit from the previous few days was also slowly recovering.
This state lasted for more than half an hour.
A blush gradually climbed up his face, and he looked much healthier.
"Da Da..."
At this moment, several light footsteps were heard, and Fang Tao crossed the fence of the yard and walked towards Lu Changsheng.
"You came at the right time, I'm ready to start practicing again."
Seeing the newcomer, Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.
"Okay."
Fang Tao didn't waste any words, he directly picked up the wooden stick on the stone platform, ready to start immediately.
He also saw the changes in Lu Changsheng these days, from the initial suspicion to the current wavering.
He even felt that Lu Changsheng might really succeed in his practice.
"Bang bang bang..."
The knocking sounds echoed in the courtyard. Lu Changsheng clenched his teeth and quietly felt the pain coming from his body.
With his breath, a trickle of warm current rushed to the skin of his upper body, and even the stinging pain was reduced a little.
His mind gradually fell into emptiness.
"Seventy-two percent, seventy-three percent..."
The progress bar of the technique is also increasing rapidly.
...
Five days later.
In the middle of the yard.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
A roar resounded in all directions, and Fang Tao took a wooden stick and smashed it madly at Lu Changsheng's body.
Even his forehead was covered with sweat, and his cheeks were red.
If he hadn't eaten meat frequently in the past few days, he probably wouldn't have the strength to swing.
Lu Changsheng stood with his legs astride, his upper body bare, and covered with red marks, which was quite shocking.
Countless hot air rose from his body and gathered above his head, forming a miniature vortex, which was very magical.
He looked at the number on the panel, martial arts: iron shirt (99% not yet entry), and he was very satisfied.
In the past five days, the whole sheep had been eaten up, and he had to buy another one.
Driven by a large amount of meat, the martial arts practice was also very smooth, and he was only one step away from entry.
This practice has lasted for two hours.
But it is still a little short.
Lu Changsheng did not stop the other party. He was ready to break through this barrier in one go.
As the wooden stick kept hitting his body, a lot of warm currents surged in his body, and even his skin began to swell up, as if it was full of toughness like cowhide.
I don't know how long it took.
Lu Changsheng suddenly felt blessed, and a sense of touch surged in his heart.
"This is the moment."
"Break it for me."
With his roar, a strong warm current instantly flowed through his body, turning into a stream of air from the top of his head.
Even the surrounding fog was blown away.
"Buzz..."
Lu Changsheng heard a buzzing sound in his ears, as if the membrane was vibrating.
The wooden stick hitting his body didn't cause any pain, but rather a slight numbness.
The entire membrane of his upper body was emitting a bright light, which was very magical.
At this moment, Iron Shirt finally got started.
It was worth all his planning and running around for many days.
.... .....
I know, I'm being shameless; but can you spare me some power Stones 🥺
