The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 84: 3rd Realm Tempering

Chapter 84: Three Realms Tempering Muscles (First Order)

Half an hour later, Su Mu returned to the backyard of the Nanchengsi Yamen and handed a freshly transcribed music score to the courtesan.

"Brother Mu, you are still good at playing!"

Seeing the courtesan preparing for the ceremony with a serious face, Wang Guan winked at Su Mu and gave him a thumbs up.

Su Mu looked calm.

"You are just a clown trying to attract attention!"

Si Cheng sneered, "You thought you could attract everyone's attention by just picking up a piece of music, but you didn't realize that this would only make the Fang family laugh and let people see your ignorance and shallowness."

"What did the old man say? Do you think Brother Mu will be favored by everyone tonight?"

Wang Guandao.

Si Cheng's expression froze. May I ask how you knew I meant that?

The butler and Wang Lai covered their faces in silence. They had experienced such embarrassment many times before and had enough experience.

At this time, it is best not to correct the Second Young Master.

"This is what you don't know, old man."

Wang Guan laughed and said, "She hasn't lost her virginity yet, what are you calling her? She's just waiting for someone to offer her a high price——"

Waiting for the right price... Su Mu said silently in his heart.

"Brother Mu, if you want to sleep with her, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Let me tell you, the City Lord is backing Qunfang Tower. We have to follow the rules. If she doesn't want to, we can't force her."

Wang Guan said.

Su Mu gained new insights. The city lord had an extraordinary deterrent power, as even Young Master Wang was so fearful.

Well, Luo Anning is a good thigh-girl.

"You think too much. I really just want to listen to a song."

Su Mu said calmly.

After that he sat down in his seat.

"Do you smell any medicine?"

Wang Guan suddenly wrinkled his nose and said, "Where does this smell come from? Someone, go find it for me. Also, bring me some pots of flowers to suppress the smell!"

Su Mu sat there expressionless, as if he didn't hear what Wang Guan said.

The smell of medicine came from his body.

Just now, while going home to copy the music score, Su Mu brewed the tendon-strengthening elixir he had prepared in advance, and then applied it all over his body.

Although he had wrapped his entire body with bandages and put on his clothes so that no traces of the medicine could be seen, the smell of the medicine was still difficult to completely eliminate.

"Brother Mu, what song did you give to everyone? Who did you buy it from?"

Wang Guan didn't know how to avoid being shy and spoke loudly.

When they were in the inner city, these playboys would buy music scores and poems in order to show off when visiting brothels. This was a common practice among them.

If you ask them to write it themselves, they don't have the ability to do it.

In Wang Guan's opinion, Su Mu was just a warrior. How could he understand poetry or songs? He was probably just like him, not even able to recognize a few words.

"A gift from someone else."

Su Mu answered perfunctorily.

The Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method was indeed given to him by Luo An Ning.

The music score he handed to everyone was also from the Tianlong Bayin Music, and this music score was used to assist in tempering the tendons of the human body.

According to the music score, the best effect is for the practitioner to play the music himself.

However, it is okay to have others play music while you practice, but the effect will be less effective.

Su Mu didn't care about the effect. If he were to learn the instrument himself, it would take him forever to be able to play it perfectly.

This Xiangjie's playing skills have reached the pinnacle. If he borrows her, as long as it is effective, the Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method will appear on the system panel. At that time, he will no longer need to rely on the help of others, and he only needs to work hard on his own.

"Brother Mu, do you like this? If I had known, I would have given you some sheet music."

Wang Guan said regretfully.

"Fortunately."

Su Mu dealt with Wang Guan perfunctorily, but in his mind he was recalling the "Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method", carefully pondering every word that he had already memorized, preparing to start practicing.

Only a cup of tea later, Xiang appeared on the platform again.

She glanced in Su Mu's direction, a competitive look flashing in her eyes.

Want to embarrass me with an unfamiliar piece of music? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

She sat down and tuned the strings of the pipa.

"This piece of music that Su Baiyi brought is very ordinary in terms of music theory, but it also has a unique charm. Please enjoy it."

The Oiran opened her red lips and spoke, and then the sound of strings began.

Su Mu closed his eyes and focused all his attention on himself.

As the string sounded, he felt a large tendon in his body tremble slightly.

He followed the instructions in the Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method and constantly adjusted his body posture to match the music.

"Captain Su, do you want to dance to your tune?"

The chief clerk sitting next to Su Mu noticed Su Mu's action and made a sarcastic remark.

"Haha, if Captain Su can dance in public, it will be a great spectacle in the South City Division tonight."

Si Cheng started to make a noise.

"Shut up! I can't hear the song because of the noise!"

Wang Guan scolded, "You know nothing. Only when you understand the true meaning of the music can you perform like this."

He shook his head, as if he understood.

Si Cheng and Zhu Bu did not dare to refute Wang Guan and secretly curled their lips.

Your skills are indeed at the pinnacle, but this song is terrible, what's so good about it?

It’s all Su Mu’s fault, otherwise they would have heard the song “Song of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea” that made him famous.

The music I hear now is simply polluting my ears.

If I hadn’t seen your beautiful figure, I would have left long ago.

Not to mention Si Cheng and Zhu Bu, Su Mu was completely immersed in it.

He even forgot that he was at a banquet.

The postures of "Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method" were displayed one after another.

Wang Guan was amazed by this scene.

My brother Mu really went all out to attract everyone's attention.

This clumsy dancing posture is similar to mine.

Su Mu's movements could be called dancing, and some of his postures were indeed graceful, but he did seem a bit clumsy, as if he was a beginner.

Si Cheng and Zhu Bu wanted to make sarcastic remarks several times, but were stopped by Wang Guan's glare.

Wang Guan himself kept clapping and cheering.

The performer on the stage opened her eyes wide to everyone and almost played the wrong note.

She was considered well-informed, but she had never seen anyone like Su Mu.

In the past, there were men who tried to dance to her music, but they were all really good at dancing.

A man who lost all his dignity in public just to get her attention actually made her feel a little touched.

Zheng!
Zheng!
The sound of the pipa became louder and louder, and even revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Su Mu's movements were getting faster and faster.

As he moved, everyone seemed to hear the sound of strings in him.

"Is it my imagination?"

Wang Lai frowned and muttered to himself, his eyes somewhat confused, "Tendons roaring, this is the third stage of body tempering, the characteristic of tendon tempering. Could it be that Su Mu is not dancing, but practicing tendon tempering method?"

He watched Su Mu's actions, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

It sounds like everyone's Qu'er can practice the muscle-strengthening method, how crazy it is! The martial arts fanatics he met in the inner city were not so obsessed with practicing.

Wang Lai is very powerful, so he can see some clues.

Most of the others thought that Su Mu was just trying to attract attention. The piece of "Tianlong Eight-tone Muscle Tempering Method" was very long, and it took half an hour to play it for everyone before it stopped.

She rubbed her sore wrist and said slowly, "Su Baiyi, what do you think of the little girl's playing?"

Su Mu did not answer, he did not even open his eyes to look at everyone.

I saw him standing there with his eyes closed, and a steaming white mist was rising from his body.

He frowned slightly towards everyone.

"Does Su Baiyi think that my appearance is unbearable to the eyes, or that my performance is unbearable to the ears?"

I was originally somewhat touched by everyone's feelings, but now it has turned into shame and anger.

"Brother Mu, that's enough. If you continue, it will be too much."

Wang Guan reminded in a low voice.

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, only to find that he was standing quite conspicuously in the middle of the field. Seeing the angry eyes towards everyone, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xiang Dajia is indeed an extraordinary talent. In such a short time, he was able to play the music without making any mistakes. This is rare, rare."

Su Mu said.

“Just one sound is wrong?”

Everyone was so angry that they laughed, "I didn't expect Su Baiyi to be a master of music appreciation. How about asking Su Baiyi to listen to my song?
If your ears are not as good as Su Baiyi's, then I, Xiang Xiaoyuan, will never touch this pipa again in my life!"

"To everyone, Captain Su is a rough man. How can he understand any music? Why are you arguing with him?"

Upon hearing this, Si Cheng's face changed drastically and he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

It would be a huge loss if I stopped playing the pipa.

Xiang Dazhong ignored Si Cheng and just stared at Su Mu, then began to tune the strings.

Su Mu showed helplessness on his face. He really had no intention of looking down on anyone.

As a courtesan working in the service industry, do you have such a strong desire to win? I didn't say anything.

Before he could explain, the oiran started playing again for everyone.

Su Mu could only sit down helplessly.

Needless to say, the courtesan's skills were truly extraordinary, especially her famous song "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea", with one melody after another, which made people feel mesmerized and unable to control themselves.

Si Cheng and Zhu Bu's faces turned red after listening to this song, and they felt that they had no regrets in their lives after having heard this song.

Among the crowd, Sun Dazhao was also very excited. He would be able to brag about the song he sang tonight to his grandchildren.

After listening for a while, Su Mu understood why everyone was so excited.

If she didn't have this desire to win, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hone her skills to this level.

In any industry, if you want to excel, you must have this competitive spirit. Without this drive, you would have been content with mediocrity long ago.

Such people cannot bear to see others look down on them in the areas in which they are good at.

Su Mu's unintentional action did irritate her a little.

"She helped me a lot. What I did was indeed inappropriate. Should I give her some compensation?"

As Su Mu's thoughts turned, he called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Head of the Police/Taiping Division White-robed (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 280 points]

[Realm: The third realm of body tempering (skin tempering extreme realm, flesh tempering extreme realm)]

[Kung Fu: Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method (Not yet started/+)...]

[Martial Arts: Cloud and Rain Sword Skills (Perfect), Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Pofeng Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner/+)]

The Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method requires two hundred points to get started, six hundred points to reach minor success, two thousand points to reach major success, and four thousand points to reach perfection!
The points required to upgrade the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method are more than 10% higher than the Flesh Tempering Method. Two hundred points are required to get started. With his current status, it takes him two days to accumulate enough points.

According to a rough calculation, it would take about three months to practice the Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method to perfection.

If you work harder, this time should be shortened further.

Three months later, I will be eighteen years old.

Luo An Ning had reached the fourth level of body tempering at the age of nineteen.

I still have a long way to go, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

clap clap clap!
A burst of intense applause interrupted Su Mu's thoughts.

When I looked up, I saw that the performance had already ended and it was looking at me like a proud white swan.

"Su Baiyi, how about this song of mine?"

Say to everyone.

"This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world?"

Si Cheng spoke first.

"Live well and you'll be rewarded!"

Wang Guan also spoke, fearing that Su Mu would say something even more detrimental than him.

If Xiang Dajie stops playing the pipa, what will Wang Guan do if he wants to listen to music in the future?
The songs played by other courtesans in the inner city are not as exciting as yours!

"I admire you all for your wisdom.

Su Mu said helplessly.

"Just clever?"

Towards the small garden.

Su Mu was speechless. Isn't being smart enough? Do you really want me to flatter you like Si Cheng, that shameless old man?

He was silent for a moment and said, "Well, I owe you a favor."

Since you helped me master the "Tianlong Eight Sounds Body Tempering Method", I will satisfy you.

"Today, I have a poem to give to you all as a token of my gratitude and apology."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

"Ha ha!"

Si Cheng laughed and said, "Captain Su, haven't you made enough noise tonight? You wasted your skills by singing a crappy song, and now you want to pretend to be cultured?

We have already seen through your true colors, don't even think about disturbing everyone!"

"If you can write poetry, I'll tear my head off and use it as your chamber pot!"

The chief clerk also spoke.

"Forget it, if your head is used as a chamber pot, I'm afraid I won't be able to pee."

Su Mu said calmly.

"you--"

The chief clerk was so angry that his beard trembled.

"How can you talk like that? The chief clerk is your superior!"

Si Cheng said angrily.

"Master Si Cheng, I advise you to say less. You are too old to talk. Don't turn around and accidentally fall into the toilet again."

Su Mu said lightly.

Without caring about everyone's reactions, he walked straight to the screen wall.
