Half a month later, in the early morning, the Zhengyang Martial Arts School took a rest as usual.

Chu Xisheng swallowed a Peiyuan pill in his backyard, then went shirtless and exhaled in the face of the sunrise.

This time, Chu Xisheng persisted in the scorching sun for half an hour until his whole body began to emit smoke before stopping.

When Chu Xisheng finished his training, he habitually glanced at the 'Nourishing Element Skill' on the system screen.

Immediately, two pieces of information appeared in his mind.

——Is it possible to use 13 martial arts points to increase the cultivation level of the nourishing element skill to the second level of perfection?

——Should we use 50 martial arts points instead of the third level secret medicine of nourishing the element?

Chu Xisheng naturally chose not to.

He watches the system screen mainly to grasp the progress of his own cultivation skills.

Chu Xisheng has basically figured it out now. One martial arts point is about equivalent to three Peiyuan Pills, or under normal circumstances, practicing for thirty days.

I remember on the fourth day of August, when Chu Xisheng came out of the Huogu Cave, he needed 20 martial arts points to elevate his cultivation skill to the second level of perfection. And today on August 30th, only 12 are needed.

Chu Xisheng mainly relies on Peiyuan Dan for cultivation and has never stopped. Since the fourth day of August until now, he has swallowed 26 Peiyuan Pills consecutively.

One Peiyuan Pill is equivalent to the ten days of his usual practice.

It can be seen that the children of those aristocratic families have made rapid progress in their spiritual cultivation, and there is indeed a reason for it.

Qin Muge entered the first grade at the age of 22, and besides her own talent, she also had the help of the Qin family from Tieshan.

Chu Xisheng then began practicing the Wind Chasing Blade and Light Cloud Vertical.

Although he is now able to practice martial arts in his dreams, he has not let go of his daytime practice.

Every day is a fixed half hour, without any change.

At this moment, as Chu Xisheng waved his long knife, a strange blood light appeared on the blade line on his right arm.

This is exactly the secret totem he engraved.

Chu Xisheng followed Chu Yunyun's advice and ultimately did not choose the 'groundless wind' pattern. Instead, he engraved the 17th pattern of the Wind Chasing Blade, 'Wind and Thunder Combination', on his body.

This is because at least half of the movements in 'Wind and Thunder' are almost identical to 'groundless wind'.

He only needs to make slight adjustments to the 'groundless wind' cutting posture to make this' secret totem 'have the effect of two.

In the future, he will switch to practicing the 'Divine Wind Mirror Blade', and this secret technique totem can also correspond to the drawing style of the Divine Wind Mirror Blade.

This is the advantage of having a top-notch martial arts master around him, which can help him avoid many detours.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Chu Xisheng wanted to try practicing for a while longer, but immediately felt numbness in his limbs and convulsions in his heart.

He reluctantly sheathed his knife and looked at the martial arts column on the system screen.

——Chasing Wind Sword Technique (Double), Light Cloud Vertical (Heavy).

For half a month, although Chu Xisheng has focused on practicing Light Cloud Vertical in his dream cultivation, he has yet to elevate the level of Light Cloud Vertical.

Although the words in this martial arts column remain unchanged, the effect of Chu Xisheng's simulated practice in his dream is real.

He is now faster and more agile than half a month ago, and can perfectly match the Windchaser Blade.

These two martial arts have already merged seamlessly, without any distinction between them.

Chu Xisheng hesitated a bit, wondering if he should use 8 martial arts points to forcefully elevate the Light Cloud Column.

He wants to cultivate the second level of Light Cloud Column as soon as possible.

Chu Xisheng's idea is simple and pragmatic. Since he has an advantage in body techniques with the 'Time Shadow Body', it is even more necessary to strengthen this advantage.

Chu Xisheng now has enough martial arts points to squander.

The effect of that book 'On the Divine Art of Martial Arts' was astonishing, bringing him a total of 27 martial arts points in half a month, bringing his martial arts points to 31.

However, tonight is another period of refreshing the martial arts treasure trove, and Chu Xisheng has decided to wait a little longer.

And just as he narrowed down the system screen to the corner of his eye, the door to Chu Yunyun's room creaked open.

She walked out of the room wearing a lake green outfit and a light veil cloak on her head, saying, "Have you finished practicing? Hurry up and tidy up, we should go out now. If it's too late, there won't be a ferry

Chu Xi responded with a loud voice and immediately walked into the room, carrying the luggage he had prepared in advance.

The luggage is very hard and straight, mainly containing a few weapons from the Fire Bone Cave, as well as some food.

They are planning to go to the black market in Hedong today, sell these weapons in their hands, and then buy something there.

Since returning from the Huogu Cave, Chu Xisheng has been staying inside the martial arts school to practice martial arts and has hardly stepped out of the school gate.

This is a rare leisurely time he has had since crossing over.

No need to escort, no need to buy groceries and cook. He doesn't have to worry about anything except cultivation.

But it's not possible now, the magic silver in their hands has been exhausted and urgently needs to be replenished.

The technique of Chu Yunyun's cultivation is a beast that devours gold.

The salary of the Jinyiwei, the sealing fee given by Lu Luanli, and the silver reward given by Cao Xuan, totaling more than 100 taels of magic silver, were all exhausted by Chu Yunyun's rivers and seas within this month.

Chu Xisheng tightly tied his luggage behind him and, with great care, placed a knife covered in blue light patterns around his waist.

This is the 'Magic Refining Light Steel Knife' and also Chu Xisheng's new sword.

Half a month ago, Tie Xiaosheng had someone send him a heavy gift as a reward for saving his life.

This person is much more generous and kind than the martial arts school and the Jinyiwei. They gave him up to thirty Peiyuan Pills alone and even gave him this' Magic Refining Light Steel Knife 'as a gift.

This knife is made of refined light steel with a large amount of magic silver added to make it lighter, faster, sharper, and stronger.

This is a top-grade treasure sword, with second-hand items on the market reaching up to 200 taels.

The Iron Deputy Flag Leader still feels extremely guilty, saying that due to the tense situation of the Iron Flag Gang, he has no time to withdraw temporarily. Prepare a small gift to thank you first, and wait until the situation over there stabilizes before personally visiting.

After leaving the martial arts school, the two of them walked towards the east pier of the city.

The black market they are going to is located on the east bank of Shenxiu River, in a market town called 'Ancient Market'.

It's diagonally opposite the east dock of the city, facing Xiushui County across the river.

This place is not only the water transportation center in the southern part of Dongzhou, but also the most famous black market in Dongzhou.

All the black goods, activities, various smuggling trades, and numerous Jianghu people who cannot tolerate the government in Xiushui County gather in this market town, and its prosperity is no less than that of Xiushui County City.

After arriving at the east dock of the city, Chu Xisheng specifically glanced towards the direction of the Iron Flag Gang's rudder.

The main rudder of the Iron Flag Gang is a large ship of ten thousand stones, parked on the north side of the dock, very conspicuous. Around this ship, there are several ships of the Iron Flag Gang parked, like stars surrounding the moon.

Hundreds of flags of the Iron Flag Gang were planted on the ship, fluttering fiercely and displaying an extremely majestic aura.

After taking a glance at Chu Xisheng, he let go of his worries.

In the past month, there have been many rumors about the Iron Flag Gang in the martial arts school.

It is said that the Long family recruited several major families in the inner city to become enemies with the Iron Flag Gang, causing them to suffer heavy losses; There are also rumors that traitors have emerged within the Iron Flag Gang and are on the verge of being defeated by the Long family.

But today, Chu Xisheng only looked at the weather of the Iron Flag Gang's commander and knew that those rumors were not credible.

As long as the iron flag stabilizes, the Long family will have no extra strength to trouble him.

At this moment, a ferry slowly docked, and Chu Xisheng withdrew his gaze and climbed up the gangway with Chu Yunyun.

This is a sand boat - not a modern sand dredger, but the name of an ancient flat bottomed sailing ship.

They travel between rivers and will not run aground when encountering sand.

There are two decks in total, and there is also a sunshade wooden shed at the back of the ship.

The ferry business is very good, and the boat is quickly filled with people. Just as the boatman was swaying the rudder and preparing to set sail, a silver bell like female voice could be heard in the distance.

Wait, boatman

Chu Xisheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling that the voice was very familiar.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw Lu Ranli hurriedly running onto the ship. She looked around and when she saw Chu Xisheng, her eyes lit up and she walked over with a surprised expression on her face.

What a coincidence, are you also going to the ancient market in Jiangdong

She asked while squeezing Chu Yunyun to sit down.

Chu Xisheng doubts the authenticity of this' coincidental encounter ', but there is no evidence.

And just as he was about to answer, a female voice came from outside the ship.

Wait a moment, boatman, there are still people here

This sound is somewhat like the modern so-called 'smoke voice', with magnetism, very pleasant to listen to, making people want to see its true face.
