Alienated Martial Arts

Shang Bian placed a pot of minced meat with herbs on the table.

Wei Tao directly picked it up and poured it into his mouth, as if drinking water, and ate it all in a moment.

He put down the porcelain basin and his eyes suddenly condensed.

Looking at Shang Bian's open palms.

There, several crystal clear and bright red pills reflected dim light under the light of the oil lamp.

"This is a pill that was found from those people in white clothes. I tried one in advance. It has a very good tonic effect on the circulation of qi and blood, and no toxicity was found."

Shang Bian said, "Now that your injuries have stabilized, you can use them to stabilize your qi and blood and try to avoid damage to the foundation of your practice."

"Is this... the Blood Jade Pill?" Wei Tao breathed out a soft breath.

"So it's called Blood Jade Pill? It's quite an appropriate name." Shang Bian sighed, slightly absent-minded.

"Not long ago, Senior Brother Chen gave two pills to the teacher, saying that they could help the teacher heal the internal injuries he suffered in his early years. Unfortunately, before the teacher could take them, he was killed by that terrible woman."

Wei Tao blinked and observed them closely.

He was also a little emotional.

After the competition in Meiyuan in the inner city, it was the first time he saw this kind of elixir.

But at that time, all his attention was attracted by the "yellow leaves" that Miss Bai took out, and he did not pay much attention to this blood-colored pill.

It's just that things are unpredictable. After going around in circles, they still returned to his hands.

Under the dim light, the Blood Jade Pill reflects a psychedelic and hazy red light, and at the same time exudes an extremely alluring sweet taste, making people involuntarily get lost in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

"Based on your current level of strength, my rough calculation is three times a day, one pill at a time."

Shang Bian put the Blood Jade Pill on the table, turned around and poured a glass of water, and then said, "We have four pills now, just enough for tonight and tomorrow..."

The next second, he stared at the empty table with his mouth open, his expression distorted in shock, and he almost shouted, "I said one pill at a time, not for you to eat it all in one bite!"

Gudong!

Wei Tao had already swallowed the four Blood Jade Pills and was stunned for a moment before saying, "This thing will melt when it enters the throat. If I press my throat now, can I still spit it out?"

"You've already eaten, why are you vomiting?" Shang Bian covered his forehead, "Can't you just listen to what I say before eating?"

Wei Tao also sighed, "You must first grasp the main contradiction when doing things, and focus on the key points when speaking, otherwise miscommunication will easily occur."

"So, Master Shang still hasn't grasped the main contradiction of the problem."

He pointed to his mouth, "What I need to know most now is what side effects and consequences will occur if I take the wrong medicine."

"The consequences aren't that big, it's just a bit wasteful."

Shang Bian had regained his composure at this time, "Forget it, I will continue to brew the medicine in a while. While repairing and stabilizing the body, I will continue to practice the method of cross-mountain leg internal training, and strive to maximize the effect of the Blood Jade Pill."

Wei Tao nodded slowly, his expression calm and peaceful, "Find problems and solve them. Master Shang's words and deeds deeply impressed me."

……………………

When Wei Tao appeared in the martial arts hall again, three days had passed.

Although the injuries on his body had not yet healed, nothing could be seen from the surface, so he did not dare to delay any longer. After all, Master Zhou was now in charge of the inner courtyard, and it was no longer the time when he was herding sheep without restraint.

It seems that the number of registered disciples in the outer courtyard has changed again.

There wasn't a single familiar face inside.

They come and go, paying money to practice boxing here.

But in the end, there are only a few who can reach the entry standard.

It was only later that Wei Tao truly understood why Master Zhou said such meaningful words when he came to the martial arts gym with his money bag to sign up.

It is really difficult for children from poor families in outer cities to really get ahead.

Needless to say, studying for exams takes too long.

What's even more frustrating is that after studying hard for many years, he couldn't even pass the exam. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but he also left the family without a laborer for a long time. The sunk cost was too great.

It's better to practice martial arts.

Whether it works or not is a one-time deal.

It would only take a few months of trial and error at most.

If it works, you can directly feed it back to your family.

If it doesn’t work, then you’ll give up on this idea.

Go back and live in peace and hard work,

I hope that my next generation can make a difference.

In addition, the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it is not easy to survive in troubled times.

In this environment, when one has learned to use guns, sticks, fists, and hands, the choice becomes less and less controversial.

But having said that, it is almost impossible for a person from a poor family to break through the confinement and become a direct disciple of the inner courtyard unless he is naturally gifted.

Wei Tao understands this very well.

Ten direct disciples of the Red Line Sect.

The second child, the third child, the fourth child, the sixth child, the eighth child, and the ninth child.

Either he is a young gang leader, or he has a family fortune.

The medicinal materials they have grown up eating blood are not comparable to those of the poor.

In addition, Senior Brother Tan Pan and Tenth Junior Brother Yan Shi are martial arts seedlings that Master Zhou discovered on his own, which proves the importance of talent.

The only person who came from a poor family and trained under his own teacher was Peng Yue.

Wei Tao's thoughts were racing, and he had arrived at the door of the inner courtyard unknowingly.

There were shouts and hits inside, and Master Zhou's severe reprimands came from time to time.

Wei Tao quickly calmed down and pushed open the closed door.

"How many times have I told you that skin, flesh, and fascia are connected as one, and qi and blood cannot be separated, but have you remembered it in the pig's brain?"

Master Zhou swung his stick and hit Zheng Xi on the arm.

Then he turned around and looked at Wei Tao who had just entered.

"Xiao Qi, you still know how to come back."

Master Zhou said lightly and rubbed the thin stick in his hand.

Then the tip of his nose twitched, his face suddenly darkened, he stepped across a few steps and came to Wei Tao.

"You are hurt?"

Wei Tao cupped his fists and bowed, "In reply to the teacher, the disciple was indeed slightly injured, so he has been in bed for the past few days to recuperate and cannot come to the martial arts gym to practice boxing."

Master Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Who did it?"

"Disciple, disciple doesn't know either."

In an instant, Wei Tao's thoughts started to spin in his mind, and he shook his head with confusion on his face, "That day when I came out of the martial arts school, the disciple was walking in an alley, and a masked man came towards me, and he attacked the disciple without any warning."

"The disciple had a few encounters with him, and the man suddenly walked away over the wall. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't leave any clues about his identity."

"You should remember that person's figure and appearance, right?" Master Zhou said.

"It was getting late at that time, and the disciples couldn't see clearly." Wei Tao thought and recalled, "I only know that he was tall and wearing white clothes and white robes, but there is no other impression."

"Are you sure that the other person is wearing white clothes?"

Master Zhou's expression changed slightly.

"Disciple, you are sure." Wei Tao nodded.

"Does he have any other characteristics, such as does he hold a red lantern in his hand?" Master Zhou asked again.

Wei Tao savored the change in Master Zhou's expression just now and slowly shook his head, "No, that person was empty-handed."

After a pause, he added, "If the man carries a lantern, the disciple can see his appearance clearly through the light."

"Please investigate and confirm this matter carefully before talking about it. You have also been more careful recently and don't go to places with few people alone."

Master Zhou softened his tone and said slowly after thinking, "Go to the inner storehouse to get some medicine for yourself. During this period, you can rest peacefully. After your injuries are fully recovered, you can practice boxing with them again."

He said and looked around, "Xiao Jiu'er, I see you are not concentrating on boxing practice, so I might as well accompany your seventh senior brother to the warehouse to get medicine and help him make medicinal soup."

"Yes, disciple, thank you Master for your concern."

Wei Tao bowed deeply and then slowly stepped back, walking to the pharmacy with Qi Wuya.

I can't stand it, so I have another chapter to post after dinner. Please subscribe and support, thank you all.
