Time flies like an arrow, and life is like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed since Wang Anping returned to the martial arts school from home.

Early in the morning, before dawn, he had already appeared at the training ground.

"Since I entered the realm of internal energy cultivation, I feel my body needs more and more meat. Although the inner courtyard offers free room and board, it's not exactly a place for fancy meat dishes..."

"The money at home needs to be saved for my two cousins ​​to learn martial arts after the autumn harvest. It seems I need to speed up my breakthrough to the Ming Jin level so I can get a job at the martial arts school's affiliated businesses."

【(Five Animal Fist 400/500 Entering the Power Stage)】

[Five Elements Stance Exercise 100/500 repetitions to develop strength]

Wang Anping silently opened the panel. Since breaking through to the Entry-level, his physical strength and blood circulation have increased every day.

The original daily limit was 20 points, but now it has been increased to 30 points.

As the condition improved rapidly, my appetite also increased.

"I still have two taels of silver on me. I can go buy some meat to replenish my strength and strive to break through to the Ming Jin realm in one go over the next three days!"

Looking at the values ​​on the panel, he calculated that the breakthrough would take only two or three days.

Just like last time, we practiced boxing first, without practicing stance training.

His family situation was urgent, and he had to break through to the Ming Jin level first so that his family could be exempted from taxes.

Therefore, without the support of stance training, he worried that such high-intensity boxing practice would injure his body.

As dawn broke, the meat at the market was at its freshest.

Wang Anping walked out of the martial arts school and headed east along the stone-paved road.

He was on his way to the market in the outer city to buy meat.

It's not that there aren't markets in the inner city, it's just that the ones in the outer city are cheaper.

They're all pigs from the same farmer, but when they're brought to the inner city to be sold, they cost a few more coins per pound.

In contrast to the quietness of the inner city, the outer city was bustling with activity.

A variety of snacks, peddlers hawking their wares, and old men buying vegetables—it all exudes a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Walking along the potholed road, the butchers laid out steaming hot meat on their stalls.

Separate pieces of pork, and mutton hanging on the ground.

These were not Wang Anping's goals; he wanted to buy beef, even though the killing of cattle was prohibited in this world.

But in such a large county, it's normal for a few oxen to die from time to time! It's just that the price of beef will be much higher.

Wang Anping's memory of these prices was rather vague, since the original owner of this body would never have come to such a place.

Soon, he stopped in front of a butcher shop, where the butcher was busy butchering a carcass.

There was also a woman behind them, busy cleaning up the drains; she was probably the butcher's wife.

He looked at the steaming beef, thinking about the ways he ate it in his past life... hot pot, stir-frying...

My mouth is watering...

"Hello, how much does this beef cost?"

The butcher was butchering beef when he saw a customer come in. He put down his knife and took a rag to wipe his hands.

"The market price is one hundred coins per pound!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Anping's face, as if trying to see how the man would react to the price.

After doing business for a long time, the boss has developed a good ability to read people's expressions. If you don't like the expression when you hear about the price, he won't bother to argue with you anymore.

Wang Anping wasn't surprised to hear the prices: pork was 20 coins per pound, and beef was 100 coins per pound.

Reasonable!

One thousand coins is roughly equivalent to one tael of silver, and one hundred coins is equivalent to one qian of silver.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Anping spoke:

"Has the price gone up? I remember it wasn't this expensive a while ago?"

He said this entirely to bargain; he only had two taels of silver, so he had to be careful with his money.

He wanted to directly ask for a discount, but he didn't know the exact price of the beef. Since that was the case, he decided to pretend he knew the price well and let the owner back down.

"Don't you know? There are wars in several neighboring states right now, and our state is suffering from a drought."

"Don't even mention my beef, everything's going up in price these days."

The butcher took the knife and began cutting meat for Wang Anping, talking about the recent situation while glancing at the other man's body a few times, as if he had thought of something.

"You practice martial arts, right? You seem to buy meat often. Remember to come to my house more often in the future."

This time I'll charge you ninety-five coins per pound.

Ninety-five coins? That's five coins cheaper, but it's still acceptable. Wang Anping wasn't good at bargaining anyway, so he nodded upon seeing this.

"it is good."

The butcher was very skilled with his knife; in just a few strokes, he shaved off a large chunk of lean beef.

Wang Anping paid the money, took the beef, and his pockets instantly emptied.

Holding the still-steaming fresh beef, he hurried toward the martial arts school.

He couldn't cook in the place where he lived, and the chefs in the kitchen wouldn't cook for him for no reason.

But he had a plan! He had already thought it through before setting off again. His ninth senior brother, Wang Hucheng, had always been very kind to him and had taken good care of him.

As a junior student, I couldn't just quietly eat all the beef I bought; I had to offer it to the other person regardless of whether they needed it or not.

Moreover, there happened to be a kitchen in the other party's courtyard, so they could start a fire themselves.

He walked very fast, and when he returned to the martial arts school, there were only a few people practicing martial arts in the outer and inner courtyards.

As Wang Anping passed the pharmacy, he paused for a moment.

At the entrance of the pharmacy, he saw the young girl practicing boxing. It wasn't the Five Animal Frolics style; it was a style of boxing he had never seen before.

It looks gentle, but every move is deadly; it's a very strange martial art.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, the other person happened to look over. To avoid being accused of peeping, he quickly left.

"Senior brother? Are you up yet?"

These days, the two have become quite familiar with each other, and the other party often invites him to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

Therefore, Wang Anping, without the restraint of a guest, walked directly into the courtyard.

"Anping? Get up. Wow! You bought beef?"

When Wang Hucheng pushed open the door and saw the large chunk of beef that Wang Anping was carrying, his eyes lit up.

Although he is a Ming Jin martial artist, he is honest and doesn't like to curry favor.

The income from the industries he was temporarily assigned to was very poor, only six or seven taels of silver a month, and he occasionally had to use that money to supplement his household expenses.

Therefore, even he couldn't live a life where he could eat beef every day.

"Senior brother, can I use your kitchen for a moment? Wash up and then try my cooking!"

Wang Anping smiled, revealing two rows of bright white teeth. Having lived two lives, he knew that the senior brother in front of him was truly sincere towards him.

Therefore, he had long considered the other person a friend, and friends should interact with each other.

Carrying the beef, he headed to the kitchen and began to prepare it according to the recipe from his previous life.

Wang Hucheng stood there, watching Wang Anping's back, a smile playing on his lips.

He liked this feeling. Although there were many fellow disciples in the martial arts school, there were very few who were truly sincere.

If you are strong, you will have countless friends around you.

If you're weak, you'll be surrounded by ridicule.

after an hour

The two sat around the stone table in the courtyard, enjoying their meal.

"Hmm, junior brother, your skills are impressive! You've made this beef look like it's from a ferocious beast!"

Wang Anping ate the meat heartily, silently sensing the changes the beef was bringing to his body. Hearing Wang Hucheng's words, he was somewhat puzzled.

Ferocious beasts? Could it be that this world contains ferocious beasts in addition to evil spirits? Why were they not mentioned in the original owner's memories?

He looked at Wang Hucheng and asked:

"Senior brother, what is the meat of a ferocious beast?"
