Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 9 Perfect Foundation, Peerless Furnace

the next day.

Chen Yushu got up when the cock crowed.

But he got up early, and some people got up even earlier.

When he walked out of the room, he noticed several apprentices practicing standing meditation and boxing in the yard.

The standing meditation is exactly the Medicine King Standing Meditation that is taught uniformly in the Liu Family Pharmacy.

Compared to his own clumsiness when practicing, others were much more skilled. Each move was very smooth and the transitions were natural.

However, he also noticed that this set of standing meditation exercises was indeed extremely physically demanding. After just a short while, some people were sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

Of course, there are also some who are good at it.

An apprentice who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old only sweated slightly after completing a whole set of standing meditation movements. After a short pause, he directly started to perform a set of boxing techniques.

This boxing style is fierce and powerful, sometimes like a tiger, sometimes like a flying dove, and between the movements, a buzzing sound can be heard.

“That’s Zhang Ruyun, one of the top five apprentices in our pharmacy.

Not only did he practice martial arts well, he also made some progress in standing practice and started to practice boxing. In addition, he was valued by the shopkeeper and arranged to learn how to make and decoct and dispense medicines in the shop. In the future, he might have the opportunity to learn medical skills and become a doctor. "

At this time, Li Hu came over and said with envy.

"I have made some progress in standing practice, and now I want to start learning boxing?
How many years did he study?"

Chen Yushu couldn't help but look at the other person.

I do know that although the Liu family's pharmacy is just a pharmacy, it has its own levels and rules.

An identity, a status.

From top to bottom, the most senior one is naturally the shopkeeper, followed by the doctor, the front yard manager, the back yard manager, the medicine maker...

As for their apprentices, there are also distinctions.

For example, the apprentices who do odd jobs in the backyard usually do the work of washing, drying, and cutting medicinal materials and medicines. There are also apprentices who work in the medicine fields, and their work place is usually in the medicine fields.

In addition, apprentices will be arranged to help clean the kitchen and stables.

Those with higher status are apprentices working in pharmacies.

Apprentices for dispensing medicine, apprentices for boiling medicine, apprentices for doctors...

Since Zhang Ruyun can work in a shop, he is obviously an apprentice in dispensing medicine or even decocting medicine. His status is indeed much higher than theirs.

"Three years!
In three years, he has made some progress in standing practice, which shows that he is extremely talented.

According to Master Qian, if you can achieve some success in standing practice within five years, you will be considered qualified.

If a person has not mastered the standing meditation to a small degree within five years, the shop will not accept him or her and will directly expel him or her, leaving him or her to fend for himself or herself.

Of course, there are also requirements for beginners like us in the pharmacy.

It is necessary to practice the standing meditation to the entry level within three months.

Otherwise, you will be judged as having no talent and will be driven away."

When Li Hu finished speaking, his face turned slightly pale.

He had only been in the pharmacy for a month, but he had not yet mastered the Medicine King Posture, and he was under tremendous pressure.

"Isn't this a pharmacy? Why do we have such rules?"

Chen Yushu asked in confusion after hearing this.

"I heard that this is a requirement from above, and it has always been like this."

Li Hu shook his head and said.

"Master Qian is here."

Suddenly, a voice was heard, and then Chen Yushu saw a sturdy man walking over from the front yard. It was Qian Qian, the instructor arranged by the pharmacy to teach them martial arts.

At this time, he walked into the courtyard with an indifferent look on his face, glanced at everyone in the courtyard, and said, "I heard that there is a new apprentice in the courtyard. Come here and I will teach you martial arts.

In addition, if you have not yet started practicing Zhuanggong or have any confusion, you can come and ask for guidance.

Ten taels of silver will get you started, and one tael of silver is all you need for instruction."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu hurried over.

Li Hu on the side hesitated for a moment but still did not step forward.

One tael of silver for each instruction was too expensive for apprentices like them.

But there were also people who gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

These are all apprentices who have just joined the pharmacy not long ago.

If they fail to master the Zhuang Gong within three months, they will be kicked out... You know, they paid a huge price to enter the pharmacy, so of course they want to do everything they can to stay.

"Stand still!"

Qian Qian glanced at Chen Yushu and the two apprentices who came forward, nodded, and said, "The Medicine King Posture is the basic strength training method of our medicine shop.

Even though it's just the basics, it's said to have been created by a grandmaster, Senior Medicine King. It's of extremely high grade and profound, and is countless times better than the standing meditation taught in many martial arts schools.

This kind of standing meditation, every move, every breath, has its own rules. Even if I have mastered it, I cannot say that I know much about it.

But it is worth mentioning that the cultivators who use this standing practice to cultivate their bodies and build strength are generally much stronger than those who use other techniques to practice standing practice.

With the same level of success in standing meditation, your strength, energy and blood will be much stronger.

It is said that if one practices to the extreme, one can achieve perfection without leaks or impurities, forge a perfect foundation, and create a peerless furnace. "

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Chen Yushu and others.

Chen Yushu is a newcomer with a weak constitution and no basic skills, but he must abide by the rules of the pharmacy, so he still has to be taught.

The other two were named Lu Liang and Xue Ming. Lu Liang had been learning the martial arts for nearly two months and had already paid ten taels of silver. He also guaranteed that he would be able to learn the martial arts within three months.

As for Xue Ming, he has been learning for almost three months. Since he paid one or two taels of silver this time, he naturally did not hesitate to give guidance.

So, he did not hesitate and spoke directly, "I believe you are all familiar with the moves of Yaowang Zhuang Gong. Next, I will teach you the breathing method.

The breathing method is not as simple as what is written in the secret manual of martial arts.

Every pause, turn, interval time, and matching of movements are very important and require hands-on instruction and explanation bit by bit in order to learn.

Just by looking at the secret manual, not to mention you, even a genius would not be able to master it. "

Chen Yushu suddenly understood after hearing this.

After he got the secret book of Zhuang Gong, he had tried many times but never succeeded. He originally thought it was because he didn't have enough talent, but now it seems that there is another reason.

But if you think about it, it's normal.

As the saying goes, true transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission requires ten thousand books. Since Yaowang Zhuang Qi is so precious, in order to prevent it from being spread outside, it will of course be "hidden".

After Chen Yushu got the secret book of Zhuanggong, he had read it countless times. Even the "reading" experience on the attribute panel has improved a lot. At this time, he has memorized the thirty-six moves firmly.

So he quickly performed the first move.

The same was true for Lu Liang and Xue Ming standing by.

Then, Qian Qian began to explain each breath, each pause, which movement to go with, and the corresponding breathing method.

Chen Yushu practiced according to the corresponding method, and after just a short while, he felt the difference.

He found that as he matched his movements with his breathing, he began to feel numb all over, from top to bottom, from the soles of his feet to his calves, to his torso, hands, head, as if countless ants were crawling on him.

The feeling is very different.

The first move, have you mastered it?
