i can learn all Martial Arts Techniques - Chapter 14
“Take one pill every morning for seven consecutive days. Mash this herb and light it up. It can help the injured recover faster.” Song Miao took out the medicinal herbs and instructed.
“Thank you, doctor. This is the consultation fee. Please accept it!”
The surrounding people saw that their big brother’s injuries had improved and were in a good mood. Gone was the deep killing intent from before. Song Miao didn’t dare to accept the consultation fees from these people and waved his hands repeatedly.
In the end, Song Miao couldn’t turn down Jian Liang’s enthusiasm and took a tael of silver tentatively. The smiles on the faces of the people around him grew wider, and they no longer forced Song Miao to take the rest of the consultation fees.
Chen Fei watched from the side, his heart turning cold. Only Song Miao understood the ways of the world. If he had accepted all the consultation fees just now, the two of them would have lost their heads.
These people seemed to be forthright, but there was no way they would really give money to them so casually. Even if it was consultation fees, it didn’t change anything.
Walking out of the room and into the hall, he found Pu Liao unconscious on the ground.
“Just now, this person wanted to escape but was caught by our brothers. We broke one of his legs,” someone beside Jian Liang said.
Jian Liang’s brows moved slightly. He looked at Chen Fei and the other Song Miao with a smile that wasn’t really one. Finally, he cupped his hands and said, “Brothers, my men didn’t know their limits and injured him. Why don’t you take some silver for this brother to go back to heal his injuries?”
“No. No, it’s fine.”
Song Miao quickly waved his hand and glanced at Chen Fei. Chen Fei understood and carried Pu Liao on his back before quickly leaving the courtyard.
“Should we chase after them and kill them?” Someone suggested.
“Forget it. They did save quite a few of us. Big brother’s injuries have stabilized now. Consider their lives as consultation fees.” Jian Liang smiled coldly and turned around to walk into the backyard.
Chen Fei couldn’t help but pant after carrying Pu Liao for a while. Although Chen Fei’s cultivation had been improving recently, his physical strength was only slightly better than ordinary people’s.
Running with someone on his back was a little too much.
“Run quickly, lest they go back on their word.”
Song Miao was also panting, but he did not dare to stop for a rest. He was afraid that those people would chase after them.
Chen Fei nodded. The sense of urgency in his heart to better his own strength quickened. He was really lucky today. Had he taken a single wrong step, he would probably have died inside.
Pu Liao’s strength was considered pretty good. Taking advantage of Jian Liang’s departure, he waited for an opportunity to escape, but in the end, he was still captured. It was evident that those people were skilled.
The various plans Chen Fei had formulated in his mind earlier would’ve all probably ended in disaster if they were implemented.
In less than 15 minutes, the two of them ran back to the city wall. Cui Sanjie and the others were shocked when they saw Chen Fei and the others, especially Pu Liao.
“What happened?” Zhang Sinan looked at Pu Liao’s broken leg and frowned. Even if his legs were to make a full recovery, he would never be able to walk normally again.
“We encountered a nest of Mountain Bandits, sigh…”
Song Miao finally heaved a sigh of relief and told him everything that had happened. As the story went on, the surrounding people were a little shocked.
One could very well imagine that if Song Miao’s medical skills weren’t good enough, or if he didn’t have any healing pills, or if he was a little greedy, he would probably have been beheaded.
“These Mountain Bandits really do not know their bounds! I’ll report them to the county government to hunt down these Mountain Bandits!” Zhang Si Nan shouted coldly, turned around, and walked into the county.
Cui Sanjie hurried forward and whispered something to Zhang Sinan. Zhang Sinan’s expression changed, but she didn’t say anything and continued walking forward.
Chen Fei took a few deep breaths. This matter would probably be left unsettled in the end. The county government wouldn’t care about what happened outside Pingyin County, and the Zhang family would most likely pretend that this matter never happened.
There wasn’t an issue since nobody lost their lives, right?
Just as Chen Fei had expected, the Zhang Clan did not publicize this matter. They only compensated Chen Fei and the other two with some silver taels as a form of consolation.
Pu Liao’s consolation money would be higher. After all, he had a broken leg.
The news that Chen Fei had received more than ten taels of silver and knew how to refine healing pills spread throughout the medical hall.
Zeng Defang comforted him and even invited Chen Fei to his house to drink with him.
Compared to the Vitality Pill, the Healing Pill was a little more difficult to refine. However, Chen Fei was able to refine the Healing Pill on his own within a dozen days after obtaining the pill formula. This showed Chen Fei’s talent in alchemy.
It also dispelled some people’s thoughts that Chen Fei could only refine Vitality pills and would be beaten back to his original position if he tried his hand at refining other pills.
“Elder Zeng, do you have the recipe for the Qi Rejuvenation Pill?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice.
The Qi Rejuvenation Pill was considered an advanced version of the Vatlity Pill. It had a stronger effect on promoting cultivation. Of course, it was also more expensive. Only a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm would be willing to spend money to buy such a pill to cultivate.
Chen Fei had already experienced firsthand for himself that the cultivation speed was considerable when he used the Vitality Pill to cultivate. However, this world was too dangerous. Who knew when an accident would happen? Chen Fei hoped that his cultivation could grow faster.
Most people in the Skin Toughening Realm would probably not use the Qi Rejuvenation Pill so frivolously to cultivate their skills. However, Chen Fei could refine it himself, so there was no problem in terms of affording it.
Just like the Vitality Pill, he could keep a portion for himself to consume after refining it.
“The formula for the Qi Rejuvenation Pill cannot be taught to you without the permission of the Zhang family.” Zeng Defang shook his head, picked up a chicken foot, and threw it into his mouth.
“Then how can I convince the Zhang family to agree?” Chen Fei asked. With Chen Fei’s current earnings, if he were to buy Qi Rejuvenation Pills to cultivate, he would probably not be able to make ends meet.
“Marry into the family.”
Zeng Defang smiled and glanced at Chen Fei. “But you don’t have a chance anymore. The Zhang family’s young misses are already married. However, other than marrying into the Zhang family, there is another way, and that is to make contributions to the Zhang family.”
“Elder Zeng, please give me some pointers.” Chen Fei cupped his hands.
“Your talent isn’t bad, and the Zhang family sees it. I’ll help you ask around tomorrow and let you know.”
After three rounds of wine, Zeng Defang had already fallen asleep on the table. Chen Fei returned to his courtyard and wiped the sword in his hand.
Other than the Qi Rejuvenation Pill, Chen Fei also wanted to obtain stronger martial arts techniques. However, based on the answers Zeng Defang gave before, the Clear Wind Sword and the Wind Suspending Force were already the best cultivation techniques that an outsider of the Zhang family could obtain.
Stronger cultivation techniques would only be passed down into the hands of the Zhang family or someone who marries into the family. Even if one made a contribution to the Zhang family, they wouldn’t be able to obtain any cultivation techniques from them.
“All the aristocratic families, or even the Extreme Mountain Fist Hall, keep their profound techniques under wraps. I’m still fine at the Skin Toughening Realm, but when I reach the Body Tempering Realm, the effect of the Wind Suspending Breathing Technique will definitely be weakened, and the Clear Mountain Sword wouldn’t be able to keep up in the future!”
Chen Fei muttered to himself as he looked at his interface. An idea slowly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.
The interface could simplify cultivation techniques, and cultivation techniques that had been cultivated to perfection could be fused. Since he could not obtain advanced martial arts cultivation techniques, why not cultivate a few more basic cultivation techniques? When the time came, fusing them together would definitely cause changes.
From quantitative change to qualitative change, there was no need to kneel and beg for help. Chen Fei could completely walk his own martial arts path.
