I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 18: Three Gates

In a place like the Pharmacy Department, everything is determined by strength. The capable rise while the weak fall. As long as one's Alchemy Technique improves, they can receive corresponding treatment and monthly salary. Therefore, there aren't many messy affairs.

The Pharmacy Department is not only the most important department of Golden Toad Hall, but also one of the most important departments of the Crimson Tiger Gang. It is sought after and respected by many high-ranking members of the gang. It is easy to earn money and obtain various resources here.

As the sixth master of the Pharmacy Department, Song Fulu is entitled to a set of houses in the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Gang. Although it is called a house, it is actually a courtyard of about 300 square meters, much larger than Song Fulu's home in Stone Bull Village.

If it weren't for Song Fulu's refusal, Ma Qingshan would have arranged for maidservants to come over.

After having a drink, Song Fulu walked around the courtyard and was quite satisfied with it.

There is a well, a martial arts training ground, a small garden, a kitchen... everything is not lacking. There is even a small stream passing through the courtyard, surrounding the entire headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Gang. Such a house is not only considered top-notch in Passing River City, but even in the former Huaxia country before transmigration.

Ma Qingshan really took care of him. Song Fulu smiled slightly and went to the martial arts training room to practice. It was still early, so he decided to practice Mountain Fist a few more times and think about what martial arts to choose tomorrow.

As the sixth master of the Pharmacy Department, Song Fulu is qualified to choose three classics from the Golden Classics Tower of the Crimson Tiger Gang. One of them goes without saying, as a member of the Pharmacy Department, the Precious Herb Book is a must.

Song Fulu also needs the Precious Herb Book to help him break through the bottleneck and become a high-level pharmacist. The Precious Herb Book also contains dozens of medicinal formulas, some of which are quite precious and cannot be missed by Song Fulu.

With the Precious Herb Book, Song Fulu is confident that he can be promoted to a high-level pharmacist within half a month. Such a level of pharmacist is rare in the entire Passing River City, with only two in the Crimson Tiger Gang, the grandmaster of the Pharmacy Department and Ma Qingshan.

If Song Fulu can become a high-level pharmacist, he will be the third person in the Pharmacy Department and a big shot in the entire Crimson Tiger Gang.

In addition to the Precious Herb Book, Mountain Fist is also essential. The complete version of Mountain Fist is available in the Golden Classics Tower.

During dinner, Song Fulu also inquired about it. Although Mountain Fist progresses slowly and its power is not great, when it comes to the effect of Foundation Building, it is among the best in the entire Passing River City. It can lay an extremely solid foundation for future cultivation.

Therefore, Song Fulu is not planning to change his martial arts. With his current cultivation talent, although Mountain Fist is difficult, it cannot stop him.

However, when he becomes capable in the future, Song Fulu plans to find another martial art for the villagers of Stone Bull Village, one that is powerful and quick to cultivate. Mountain Fist is not really suitable for Stone Bull Village.

As for the third martial art, after considering it, Song Fulu decided to choose a martial art for escaping and self-preservation. As long as he can keep his life, he will be able to regain his position sooner or later. Therefore, a set of body movement techniques is extremely important.

Early the next morning, Song Fulu went to the Pharmacy Department. Ma Qingshan had already prepared a separate alchemy room for him and asked him to rest for a few days, familiarize himself with the situation of the Crimson Tiger Gang, and then assign tasks to him.

Song Fulu did not disappoint Ma Qingshan's kindness. After staying in the Pharmacy Department for a while, he left and headed to the Golden Classics Tower that he had been longing for.

The Golden Classics Tower is located on Wan Yang Lake in the center of the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters. It is a three-story attic surrounded by the lake on all sides, making it difficult to catch fire.

Carrying the waist token of the sixth master of the Pharmacy Department, Song Fulu arrived at the Golden Classics Tower and showed it to the old man guarding the tower.

The name of the old man guarding the tower is unknown, but everyone calls him Wang Lao. It is said that he is a master of the Interior Refinement Four Layer, and can be considered second-rate in the martial world.

Seeing Song Fulu's waist badge, Wang Lao was somewhat surprised and stood up, saying, "You are the Middle Level pharmacist recruited by the Pharmacy Department yesterday?"

"Yes," Song Fulu nodded. The news spread quite quickly.

Wang Lao smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You are even younger than the rumors. The Rare Herb Book is on the first bookshelf on the third floor. If you have any doubts in the Golden Classics Tower, you can come and ask me."

"Thank you, Wang Lao," Song Fulu smiled.

Entering the Golden Classics Tower, Song Fulu went straight to the third floor. The three layers of the Golden Classics Tower corresponded to Mortal Level Low Grade, Mortal Level Intermediate, and Mortal Level High Grade scriptures and techniques, as well as some miscellaneous books.

With Song Fulu's status, he could freely take away and read those miscellaneous books. However, valuable scriptures and techniques had to be purchased, and besides money, a certain contribution to the faction was also required. Otherwise, even with money, they couldn't be bought.

Completing tasks every day would earn contribution points, and the Pharmacy Department would keep a record of them, with corresponding vouchers for their use.

Song Fulu also understood that with his status as a sixth master of the Pharmacy Department, he would need to complete at least one month's worth of tasks, plus one hundred taels of gold, in order to exchange for a Mortal Level High Grade martial arts scripture from the Golden Classics Tower.

As for Mortal Level Low Grade and Mortal Level Intermediate, they were not very useful to Song Fulu.

Arriving on the third floor, there were also experts guarding it. There were only three bookshelves inside, all containing Mortal Level High Grade martial arts scriptures, as well as some scriptures that were comparable to Mortal Level High Grade. The Rare Herb Book was one of them.

Song Fulu first took the Rare Herb Book, and then found the scripture for Mountain Fist. Sure enough, it was complete, allowing one to cultivate from the Exterior Forging One Layer all the way to the Earth Gate Realm. Earth Gate was a realm above the Interior Refinement Four Layer, and it was said that once one broke through the Earth Gate, they would reach an unimaginable level and possess Transcendent power. Mountain Fist had corresponding methods and techniques, but in the entire Passing River City, no one had ever succeeded.

After taking the Rare Herb Book and Mountain Fist, Song Fulu began to search for the third martial arts scripture. He went to the bookshelf where body movement techniques were placed and started to choose.

Only a part of the scriptures were available here, mainly introducing the contents of the scriptures and martial arts. So even if a genius with Photographic Memory came, they couldn't take shortcuts and memorize multiple scriptures and martial arts at once.

After spending more than an hour, Song Fulu chose the third martial arts scripture.

Windborne Footsteps!

A Mortal Level High Grade martial arts, able to move with the wind, coming and going freely. It could be used for evasion and escaping, especially when there was wind, it could take advantage of the wind's speed. It could also be used in conjunction with a certain knife technique and archery. It was quite fortunate.

It was because of this that Song Fulu chose Windborne Footsteps. When he had enough contribution and money, he would also obtain the knife technique and archery.

Even if they couldn't be used in conjunction, Windborne Footsteps alone was an extremely powerful footwork martial art, and the other two were also formidable. If the three were used together, they would be almost invincible among peers, at least in Passing River City.

After selecting the three martial arts scriptures, Song Fulu handed them to the expert on duty, who quickly brought him the complete copies, which were transcriptions and not the originals.
