A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 67: The Second Level of Inner Breath

Zhou Shoushan and Wu Hui looked at each other with smiles in their eyes when they heard this.

He's just an apprentice bodyguard, with a monthly salary of only three cents of silver, yet you still want to show them how to make money.

They are now down and out, but they have also been glorious before. People really treat them like beggars.

I just complimented Kong Bin a few words just now. After all, he is still young. After a few polite words, he lost his mind!

Although the two of them didn't care, Kong Bin still continued talking seriously.

"There is an apprentice escort with me, his name is Duan Rong."

"He sells paintings on West Street and earns a hundred taels of silver a day. I made a rough estimate and this kid has at least several thousand taels of silver in his hands!"

Zhou Shoushan was slightly startled. Several thousand taels was not a small amount for him. He turned his head and looked at Wu Hui with a questioning look in his eyes.

Wu Hui was silent for a while, then said, "I heard that there was an incident on West Street a while ago... I think it was... two women, almost killed each other over a painting!"

"Yes!" Kong Bin looked up at Wu Hui and said, "That's it. I'm talking about that painter. He is Duan Rong!"

"Does this person have any background?" Zhou Shoushan became interested. He touched his chin and asked.

"Both my parents are dead, I'm an orphan! Just like me, I was chosen from among the menial disciples!"

"Are you sure he has several thousand taels of silver?"

"Boss Zhou, you don't often come to West Street. You don't know that his paintings cost ten taels of silver each, and there are people lining up every day!"

Zhou Shoushan was slightly surprised, as he understood nothing about calligraphy and painting.

But he knew that many famous calligraphers and painters lived in mansions and had a bunch of pretentious suckers to support them!

As for the fact that he doesn't often come to West Street, isn't that nonsense?

The county government office is on West Street. Does he dare to hang around Shen Yanliu?
Are you afraid that the evil spirit will not remember you?

Zhou Shoushan looked at the drunk Kong Bin, his mind racing. "Damn, this really seems like a way to make money!"

After three years of living off his savings, he is also short of money!

Zhou Shoushan leaned over to Wu Hui, who immediately understood. He leaned over and heard Zhou Shoushan whisper, "Find a way, ask around..."

Duan Rong played the role of a rat in the dormitory for three or four days in a row during the day. When there was no one around in the dormitory, he hid in the dormitory and secretly practiced and studied the Cloud Snake Step!
After these three or four days, Duan Rong has completely mastered the Cloud Snake Step!
Moreover, footwork and body movements are also integrated into some of the moves of the Five Tigers and Sheep Swords!
This is the limit of what Duan Rong can do at present. Some moves in the Five Tigers and Sheep Swords are in conflict with the footwork and body movements of the Cloud Snake Step. If these moves want to be initially integrated, they must be greatly modified!
With Duan Rong's current martial arts level, he is still far from reaching that level!
However, even if it was just the initial integration of some of the moves, Duan Rong had already benefited greatly!
His footwork and body movements were now graceful and unique. In this cramped room, no matter how he moved, chopped, hooked and stabbed, he would never touch anything.

Moreover, once he started running, he could actually create a feeling of being in the wilderness in this small room...

Endless world, gallop freely!
After practicing the Cloud Snake Step, Duan Rong finally didn't have to hide in the dormitory in broad daylight. After not seeing the sun for many days, he stood in the sun-filled martial arts field again, and suddenly felt open-minded.

Duan Rong exhaled lightly, then sat on his back and stood up. Two hours later, Duan Rong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shone with brilliance, he raised his head and whistled softly, and a thick white gas blew out of his mouth.

The white mist was as thick as a baby's arm and shot obliquely towards the sky. With a crackling sound, it actually broke a thin branch of the tung tree above Duan Rong's head.

The branch fell in front of Duan Rong, and Duan Rong said happily: "The second level of internal energy has been achieved!"

At this time, the internal energy in Duan Rong's Dantian was slightly thicker than his little finger, and was also more condensed than a few days ago.

Like a small snake, with its head and tail connected, the internal energy in Dantian swirls around...

The internal breath was connected to Duan Rong's thoughts. As soon as Duan Rong's mind moved, the little snake of internal breath began to move among the meridians and internal organs!
Duan Rong has slowly realized that every time his internal energy circulates for a period of time, his meridians and internal organs will be nourished and strengthened!
This is what is called internal breathing training!

At this time, Duan Rong's mind was open, and his inner breath circulated through his meridians and internal organs. After a cycle, Duan Rong suddenly drew his sword and wielded the master-level Five Tigers and Sheep Sword!

Mastery-level martial arts, combined with the second level of internal energy!
When Duan Rong fought to his heart's content, there was often a clear humming sound from the tip of his knife!
That was the vibration caused by the short explosive sound of the friction between the blade and the air!
This sound is different from the sound of breaking through the air at the first level!

When the internal energy reaches the second level, it has become somewhat condensed, the energy starts to be restrained, and the moves have become somewhat slow in appearance but actually fast!
Duan Rong could clearly feel that his fighting power had once again increased significantly!
Duan Rong performed the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife moves several times in a row. He was immersed in the joy of breakthrough, and his body and mind were light...

It was not until the fifth round that Duan Rong put away his knife with satisfaction. At this moment, the doorman of Yuanshun Escort Agency suddenly ran up to Duan Rong, panting, and said, "Master Duan, there is a girl outside the door looking for you!"

"Girl?" Duan Rong's heart was pounding. "Which girl? What does she look like?"

"They said they were from the Xia Mansion."

"Xia Mansion?" Duan Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Shen Mizhi.

Duan Rong looked at the doorman. In fact, this doorman was not an ordinary person. He was the father of one of Ruan Fengshan's concubines.

This guy relies on his daughter's favor and is always arrogant and doesn't look people in the eye.

If the person outside the gate had not been generous and given him enough benefits, he would not have been so eager to run to the martial arts arena in the middle courtyard to look for someone.

"It's the residence of Mr. Xia Zhongyang of Yunshui Bank." The doorman also looked at Duan Rong in surprise.

Duan Rong is just an apprentice escort, but not only did the county magistrate invite him to dinner, but even the Xia family has contacts with him. Could this guy have some background?

Xia Zhongyang is the God of Wealth of Xiangu County. All taxes and large transactions in Xiangu County are allocated from Yunshui Piaohao. With the interest alone, he can make a fortune.

Historically, the manager of a branch of Yunshui Piaohao could be a more sought-after and lucrative job than a county magistrate!
Duan Rong followed the doorman, left the martial arts arena, took a shortcut, crossed the front yard, and arrived at the gate of Yuanshun Escort Agency.

But outside the brightly lit gate, there was a chestnut horse with its hooves rubbing and a red tasseled bridle. A carved brocade carriage was connected to a wooden shaft on the horse's back.

Not far behind the carriage, there stood a woman with a charming smile, who seemed even brighter than the sunlight that was spreading across the ground.

This scene moved Duan Rong's heart slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "BMW, luxury cars, and beautiful women! The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth! He has the same style as the rich people in his previous life!"
