Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 5 Bandits
Yan's Boxing Gym.

Zhu Ju was wearing a tight-fitting outfit with tied sleeves, standing firmly in a horse stance, and practicing Iron Wire Fist under the guidance of Yan Jingfu.

“As the saying goes: If your hands can’t reach your feet, hitting them will be ineffective.”

"To master boxing, footwork is essential. The Yan family's Iron Wire Fist uses fewer leg techniques. It emphasizes staying in the center, advancing and retreating in all directions, and it places the greatest emphasis on the subtleties of turning and maneuvering."

Yan Jingfu patted his hips and explained:

"Look, the power starts from the ground, flows through the legs, hips, arms, elbows, and fists, and only then can the punch be powerful and strong."

"Move like a snake, and change your boxing techniques accordingly. When you reach the point where you can adapt hardness and softness to your heart, you have achieved success."

Going a step further, you need to learn to coordinate your qi and blood while punching to unleash even greater power.

He taught the wealthy man behind the boxing gym all the secrets of Iron Wire Fist without reservation.

"Master Yan." Zhu Ju said:
"Given my talent, how long do you think it will take me to achieve minor success?"

"Mr. Zhu has an amazing talent for martial arts. He has mastered the moves in just over a month. I think he should be able to achieve some success in half a year." Yan Jingfu stroked his beard and said:

"I'm not being polite, but Master Zhu does have a talent for martial arts, but unfortunately... he's a little old."

Zhu Ju shook his head slightly.

The Yan family Iron Wire Fist has a total of eighty-four moves, of which every seven moves can be combined into a magic move, for a total of twelve magic moves.

The twelve magic hands have different combinations with each other.

Therefore, although this boxing style seems simple, it is actually not easy to truly learn and master it.

The key is……

The Iron Wire Fist was of too low a grade. It was just a stepping stone for him to practice the Hunyuan Iron Hand. There was no need to spend too much time on it. He only needed to master the method of releasing Qi and blood.

He immediately asked:
"Half a year is too long, can it be faster?"

"This..." Yan Jingfu thought for a moment and nodded.
"can!"

“It just costs some money.”

"Spend money." Zhu Ju smiled.
"It's easy."

Yan Jingfu's method was simple and effective, which was to recruit a sparring partner to help Zhu Ju become familiar with the boxing techniques.

Learning boxing is similar to learning a foreign language.

Boxing is composed of various variations of individual moves, and foreign languages ​​are composed of various words and phrases made up of different notes. Both can be learned by rote memorization, but the efficiency is too low.

If everyone around you communicates in a foreign language, you will be able to master it quickly in this environment.

The same goes for boxing!
When someone teaches you the moves and starts practicing, your body will naturally adapt to the techniques and eventually you'll become ingrained in you.

Divide the Golden Bridge!
Cover your hands!
Tigers roar and dragons roar!

……

With the help of a sparring partner, Zhu Ju's proficiency in Iron Wire Fist increased day by day, and he gradually mastered the Hunyuan Iron Hand.

Cover the roof!

Hold your hands up!

Wild horses part their manes!

"Peng!"

Two figures in the martial arts arena retreated together, their faces turning pale and blue, and finally they fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

"Crack! Crack!"

The tall and heroic women watching the match applauded and said:

"Mr. Zhu, you have excellent boxing skills. It seems that you have not only mastered the Iron Wire Fist of my Yan family, but have also mastered the Blood Strengthening Fist."

"With time, I may become a Body Tempering Master!"

"Miss Yan, you're joking." Zhu Ju shook his head, took the towel handed to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Iron Wire Fist combines both hardness and softness. I practiced it with a single-minded focus on ferocity, missing the true meaning and making it difficult to achieve great success."

Yan Xiuxin is Yan Jingfu's daughter, and she smiled slightly when she heard this.

Of course she knew that Zhu Ju's boxing practice had some deviations, but he was her benefactor and she must not offend him, so she had to choose nice things to say.

"Mr. Zhu."

Turning sideways to let the carriage behind him pass, Yan Xiuxin whispered:

"What you requested has been delivered."

"Tiger bones, bear gallbladders, musk, and bezoars are all very valuable. Daddy used a lot of connections to find them."

"Thank you." Zhu Ju's eyes lit up and he lifted the cloth cover of the carriage, revealing the medicinal herbs underneath.

In addition to tiger bones, bear bile, etc., there are also various herbs.

These things are all medicines needed to assist in practicing the Thirteen Horizontal Refinements, among which tiger bones are the most important.

In another world, buying these things is not only troublesome, but also much more expensive than here. In addition, it involves the confidentiality of the formula of the medicated medicine, so I simply asked the people in the martial arts school to help collect them.

"how much is it?"

"Two hundred taels in total." Yan Xiuxin blushed slightly.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhu, we paid exactly what we paid for it. We don't make any profit from the difference."

She is still young, and she always feels inexplicably shy when talking about money. It seems that she becomes very vulgar when talking about money.

"this is not good."

Zhu Ju shook his head:

"It took a lot of effort to purchase these things. If I were to buy them at the original price, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?"

“You still have to add some difference!”

"Mr. Zhu!" Yan Xiuxin's face turned serious.
"Without you, the Yan's Boxing Gym would have closed down. What's the big deal about helping out? This is what we should do."

"Once or twice is fine, but I use these things frequently, so it's not suitable." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"Forget it this time, I'll make it up next time."

Two hundred taels!
The training fees for the sparring partner and the medicine fees for the martial arts school add up to several taels of silver every day.

After calculating his own small treasury, Zhu Ju's face became a little stiff. He had been spending money like water recently!
Although the textile mills have started shipping small batches, production has not yet increased and it is not yet time to make a real profit.

"Fortunately, the forest farm and the pharmacy will have a unified account settlement at the end of the year. According to previous years' practice, there should be a certain surplus, which should be enough to support us through the winter."

As for next year...

By then the textile mills will surely be on track.

"Miss Yan." Zhu Ju touched his chin.

"If I have something valuable to sell, where in the city is the most convenient place?"

"Valuable things?" Yan Xiu thought for a moment and said:

"A pawnshop will do if you're looking for something under a few dozen taels. If you're looking for more... only the ghost market in Huajie can handle it."

"But it's too dangerous there, it's best not to go there."

Flower Street Ghost Market?

Zhu Ju lay in the bathtub mixed with powerful medicine, squinting his eyes to relax his mind, allowing the medicinal bath to temper his body.

"The Hunyuan Iron Hand has a total of thirty-six moves, and three additional killing moves. However, to perform the killing moves, one must practice the first thirty-six moves to perfection and understand their subtleties."

"If you haven't cultivated your inner energy, then forget it."

After stretching his body, Zhu Ju leaned over the edge of the tub, reached out and grabbed the medicinal wine beside him and poured it down his stomach.

His face flushed, his skin and flesh tensed, and his internal organs felt as if they were on fire and burning with pain.

"As expected of tiger bone wine, the medicinal properties are extremely potent."

"Fortunately, Thirteen Horizontal Refiners are also extraordinary. They can withstand the medicinal effects and accelerate the tempering of muscles and bones."

"With the blessing of medicinal baths to temper my body, medicinal wine to strengthen my bones, and Qi and blood to nourish my body, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. I don't know if I can reach the second level of the Thirteen Horizontal Refining Stage after the New Year. However, compared to the progress of the Thirteen Horizontal Refining Stage, my Qi and blood have increased dramatically recently. I think I can break through to the Blood Coagulation Stage first."

"Ok?"

With his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he had noticed something, Zhu Ju jumped out of the bathtub, quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door open and walked out.

"Master!"

Qin Bo also heard the noise and came out with a knife in hand. He nodded at him, jumped onto the roof, and then shouted:

"There's a fire at the Heike's place, and it looks like there are robbers."

It was definitely not just an ordinary fire. Even from such a distance, I could see the raging fire in the distance, and I could faintly hear the fighting and screams coming from afar.

"I remember……"

Zhu Ju's face was gloomy:

"A few months ago, a group of strong men from the mountains stormed into the county town and massacred the entire family of a wealthy family?"

"That's right." Qin Bo nodded.
"I heard before coming here that Leping County wasn't very safe, but I never thought it would be this chaotic."

"What's the use of the local government office?"

Looking around, Zhu Ju found a suitable position, accelerated his running start, stepped forward and jumped up to climb the wall.

Climb high and look far.

The fire site is now more visible.

The night wind fanned the flames, and the entire street where the Heike clan lived was engulfed in flames, with the flames lighting the sky red.

Human figures shuttled, collided, and fell to the ground in the light of the fire, while more people fled in all directions. Coupled with some villains who took advantage of the fire to rob, the entire Leping County seemed to be in chaos.

"Master."

Qin Bo said worriedly:
"The situation is not good. You should go down and find a place to hide."

"No problem." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"With you here, a few bandits can't hurt me. Even if I encounter a group of bandits, I can just take cover."

"Ok?"

"Someone is coming this way!"

But I saw several figures running on the roof, faster than a galloping horse, and the rubble under their feet exploded one after another.

Three of them were running wildly in front, and the two behind them must be pursuers.

Get into the game!

Zhu Ju's eyes narrowed.

These people not only mastered the means of unleashing strength from their bodies, but they have probably already achieved great success or even perfection.

After practicing martial arts for a while, his eyesight improved and he could now see how strong a person was.

At least he is not his opponent now.

"Get out of the way!"

The man in the front wore a mask and shouted angrily. With a wave of his hand, several black shadows shot out.

hidden weapon!

Ding……

Qin Bo's wrist trembled slightly, the knife flashed, and several gold coin darts fell down.

"How brave!"

He was afraid that the few people would get close and hurt Zhu Ju, so he chose to take the initiative and rushed towards them with a knife.

Yinfeng Knife!

This sword technique was sinister and dangerous, with sinister blade moves and vicious aura. When Qin Bo used it, the faces of several people changed drastically.

"Inner Qi Realm!"

"careful!"

The three of them shouted and moved quickly. One of them used the technique of "Flower Rain" to shoot out cold rays of light, while the other two held knives and swords and attacked in a combined attack. In an instant, the sound of collision was as fast as a rainstorm.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

"Is that the third young master of the Zhu family in front?" The pursuers behind shouted from afar:
"I'm Zhou Ye, the county constable. I'm currently pursuing the Black Tiger Gang. Please stop them. The county magistrate will reward you handsomely once the matter is resolved."

His words did not have any effect, but instead made the three people fleeing in front realize something and control the battle circle to move towards Zhu Ju.

"Master!"

Qin Bo frowned, swung his sword to disperse the three people, and then flashed back to Zhu Ju to protect him on both sides.

The three fleeing people did not dare to get entangled and changed direction to continue fleeing.

The captain of the police named Zhou Ye did not stop, bowed towards Zhu Ju, and continued to chase after him.

"Humph!"

Qin Bo narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly:

"The Zhou guy is not a good person. He just deliberately called out the young master's identity, which made those people want to get involved."

It was because he was afraid of hurting Zhu Ju that he did not dare to fight.

"is it?"

Zhu Ju frowned in confusion:

"Have I ever offended him before?"

"That's not the case." Qin Bo shook his head.
"The Zhou family has been in Leping County for over a hundred years. Back when the master was in the county, he did have some conflicts with them, but that was a long time ago."

The trouble the old man got into back then.

Zhu Ju understood, and his heart skipped a beat.

It is true that he is innocent, but the old man has been fighting all his life, and he must have offended many people and has many enemies.

Even with the support of Sanfentang, those people would not dare to act openly, but they might resort to some tricks in secret.

"Uncle Qin."

Turning around, Zhu Ju's expression changed slightly:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Qin Bo's expression was complicated. He looked like he had aged ten years, and his eyes were dull.
"I am old after all. I feel tired after just a little movement. I can't take it down even after a few attempts."

"Ugh!"

He sighed deeply, looking lonely.

He had anticipated the decline in his strength and did not think too much about it. He was just worried that he would not be able to protect Zhu Ju's safety in the future.
