Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Quickly eliminate the surrounding bandits.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Chen Shisheng felt much better.

The Lin family is so unethical. Lin Wan'er looks so gentle and weak, but who would have thought she would be so ruthless?

"Perhaps others have been scammed before. No wonder the Lin family has always struggled to find martial artists with nominal positions. It turns out there was this factor involved."

When Chen Shisheng was on temporary assignment earlier, he had investigated the Lin family. He originally thought that the Lin family had too high demands and did not pay in advance, which was why they could not recruit people.

In retrospect, this trip to join the ship was a complete disaster!

It is unknown whether Li Huan was involved in it.

Chen Shisheng sneered. If that were true, this person's scheming was far too deep.

"Brother Chen... Brother Chen..."

The boatmen, who were already terrified, cowered and hid behind him, looking at him as if he were a demon.

Xiaoshan stood respectfully, a forced, ingratiating smile on his face, and explained with fear in his eyes:

"Brother Chen, this...this was completely unknown to us beforehand. The Lin family only told us to set sail; we really knew nothing about it!"

"Um."

Chen Shisheng sheathed his sword, casually waved his hand, and signaled them to set sail and leave.

These boatmen were ordinary people with weak blood and qi.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, and there was no need to harm these innocent people.

Besides, if he really dries them all up, he won't be able to sail the boat by himself.

It's the dead of night, and the ship reeks of blood. Staying too long might attract some kind of monster.

The deck fell silent for a moment, with only the careful breathing of the sailors, and even the sailors below became much quieter.

Chen Shisheng didn't sit idle. After thoroughly searching the bodies, he ordered his men to throw them all into the river.

The group then began cleaning the deck, rinsing it with water to wash away the bloodstains.

After doing all this, Chen Shisheng returned to his room in the ship's cabin.

"It's a pity this person doesn't have the auspicious signs... but thankfully, there are other gains as well!"

Although he was tricked by the Lin family on this trip, he also gained a blessing in disguise and acquired a martial arts manual.

It is a martial arts manual called "Chasing Wind Kick".

It was with this secret manual that Liu Sandao rose from a refugee to a minor leader on the water.

This secret manual was found by Chen Shisheng in the crotch of his pants on the inside of his thigh.

He carefully wrapped it in cowhide, and then covered it with a layer of waterproof fabric.

However, this guy was illiterate, so he always carried the secret manual with him. Whenever he caught someone who could read, he would interrogate them about the contents of the manual and have them drawn on paper for him to study.

Chen Shisheng knew these things because someone had written them down in the secret manual before.

The message also detailed where the person was from and pleaded for help, saying that if they were discovered, they should inform their family.

At the same time, Chen Shisheng also found a lot of money on these people.

After touching it and trying to fold it, he discovered that the bill was made of animal fur, which was waterproof and durable.

"What is this? Paper money?"

Chen Shisheng curiously examined the bills in his hand.

There is no such thing in Five Rivers City. The three royal families have never produced anything like paper money; they have always relied on silver coins.

This was the first time he had received money.

The front features a lifelike white dragon churning in the water, while the back displays characters he doesn't understand and a line of numbers.

One hundred taels.

"Could it be a pass for those inside the Water Floating Platform?"

Chen Shisheng had a guess in his mind.

Many factions find silver coins too heavy and inconvenient for transactions, so they prefer to use paper money or notes for internal transactions.

Just like the garden party back then, they actually issued a kind of ticket internally.

With that receipt, you can exchange it for the corresponding exotic beast meat.

Chen Shisheng had seen Li Huan take it out before, so he had some impression of it.

"Never mind, I'll just put it away for now. If I have the chance later, I can exchange it with someone."

After carefully counting, Chen Shisheng discovered that he had received over a thousand taels of silver this time, a truly enormous sum.

Based on the calculation that he bought one pound of the most common exotic beast meat, which cost ten taels of silver per tael.

What he held in his hand was a full hundred pounds of exotic beast meat!

Even the most ordinary meat, not from exotic beasts, would be enough to feed him for quite some time.

"We still have to rely on side jobs; they come faster."

Chen Shisheng carefully put away the money and couldn't help but sigh.

He suddenly realized that his previous thinking was flawed; there were other ways to earn beast meat besides within the city.

Actually, there are plenty of them outside the city, but the bandits in the past were too poor.

He was completely unaware that each bandit was actually a mobile treasury, and whoever destroyed it would keep it.

Chen Shisheng's expression turned strange. Wasn't this just like the online games he played in his previous life? You could go out of the city to fight monsters and level up, except you were dealing with bandits instead.

Then he took out that little booklet called "Wind Chaser Kick".

The Qi and blood cultivated by the Chasing Wind Leg technique are mainly concentrated in the legs. According to the manual, it can make the legs strong and, at a high level, even allow one to walk on a calm river and cross it on a single reed.

Chen Shisheng naturally didn't believe it.

Martial artists have abundant blood and qi. Even if they truly mastered the Wind Chasing Kick, their bodies would only become heavier. Let alone crossing a river on a reed, even a wooden plank couldn't support their weight.

These words were probably written to show off.

Without reading the introduction, he carefully read on, and the following content contained detailed practice methods.

The specific operation is similar to that of the Bull Fist, except for some differences in details.

After all, one martial art trains fists and the other trains legs, which involve different muscle groups and have different ways of circulating qi and blood.

"Speed-based martial arts can perfectly compensate for the weaknesses of the Bull Fist."

Chen Shisheng's heart stirred.

Now, he has enough power in his Bull Fist, but no matter how strong he is, if he can't hit anyone, he will become a sitting duck.

However, if he adds this technique, he can not only increase his speed, but also increase his speed without changing his strength.

"Wouldn't that mean...the power would be even greater!"

For Chen Shisheng, who had studied junior high school physics, the relationship here was easy to understand.

With a thousand taels of silver and an unexpected martial arts manual, his trip was definitely worthwhile!

After putting away his martial arts skills, Chen Shisheng carefully put his belongings away, left the room, and went to the deck.

Leaning against the railing, feeling the breeze and gazing at the hazy mountain shadows in the quiet night, Chen Shisheng felt slightly relaxed.

Taking advantage of his free time, he began to carefully consider his martial arts training.

The power of the Bull Fist has reached its peak. The rest is all about grinding away at it, taking time to gradually change the bone density in the body.

There are no shortcuts to this step; the bones must fully adapt to the intensity of the Qi and blood.

This prevents the bones from breaking due to the rush of blood and qi.

Once this step is completed, it's time to clean up the mess.

However, during this period, the strength of martial artists will reach a point of stagnation.

This led to many martial artists being ambushed and hunted down by their enemies after their strength was discovered.

"If I cultivate both, given the current level of my Bull Fist's energy and blood, I estimate it won't be long before I successfully reach the Bone Forging stage, and then I can start the Bone Forging stage of the Wind Chasing Kick again..."

As Chen Shisheng pondered the matter, a thought suddenly came to mind.

If he were to combine the bone-forging effect of the Wind God Leg with the bone-forging effect of the Savage Bull Fist...

Wouldn't his bone forging be equivalent to a secondary bone forging for ordinary people?!

"No! Not only is bone forging done twice, but the blood exchange is also done twice, and even the subsequent filth treatment...!!"

Chen Shisheng's mind became completely active.

The reason why ordinary people dare not practice both is that they don't have enough time and are afraid of neglecting one for the other, resulting in not being able to master either martial art.

On the other hand, there is a shortage of exotic beast meat, making it difficult to sustain operations.
