26: Chapter 26 The Master of the Sun Family Martial Arts School is Killed
Since Widow Wang already knew over a thousand characters, Chen Hu said, "Go buy a Meridians chart tomorrow. Once you have mastered the Meridians chart, I will teach you how to Cultivate!"
The martial spirit in the Great Yong Kingdom was prevalent, and before one could Cultivate, recognizing characters and becoming familiar with Meridians were essential. Therefore, basically every bookstore sold Meridians charts.
"Brother Hu, I can also Cultivate?"
Hearing Chen Hu's words, Widow Wang said with an excited expression.
Chen Hu said, "I have checked your talent. You possess Yellow Grade talent. If you had started Cultivating from a young age, you would at least be at the Flesh Refining Realm by now."
"My talent is that good?"
Widow Wang felt very surprised.
In this world, ninety-nine percent of people have a Mortal Body.
As long as one enters a Grade, one can be considered outstanding.
"It is indeed very good!"
Chen Hu smiled and said, "Although you are older now, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, it is still possible to reach the Flesh Refining Realm in the future. In this way, you will have the ability to protect yourself!"
Upon hearing that she could reach the Flesh Refining Realm, Widow Wang's heart couldn't help but beat "thump-thump."
But soon, she calmed down, "Brother Hu, maybe forget it. I heard that Cultivating is very expensive."
"Rest assured, I will provide the resources for your Cultivation," Chen Hu smiled and said.
He was certain that his future would not stop at Linjiang Prefecture.
He let Widow Wang Cultivate to leave her a way out. After all, she had served him wholeheartedly for several years, and he was not the type of man to pull up his pants and deny his actions.
"But Brother Hu, you also need to spend a lot of silver to Cultivate yourself. If you spend that silver on me, what if it affects you?" Widow Wang still had her reservations.
"Rest assured, I have made a great contribution to the Gang this time and received many rewards. I am not short of money or Cultivation resources for the time being!"
"Brother Hu, you are so kind!"
As she spoke, Widow Wang leaned in and kissed him.
The next morning, at Widow Wang's house.
Chen Hu came to the kitchen and said to Widow Wang, who was cooking, "Open your mouth!"
Widow Wang obediently opened her mouth.
Chen Hu stuffed a small piece of exotic beast meat into her mouth and ordered, "Eat it."
"Brother Hu, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good."
After Widow Wang chewed and swallowed the exotic beast meat, she felt a lingering fragrance in her mouth. It was definitely the most delicious meat she had ever eaten.
Furthermore, she soon discovered that a warm current surged into her body and instantly spread to her limbs and bones. Her body, which had been excessively tired and quite sore from last night, immediately returned to normal.
"Don't ask, and don't tell anyone else. It is easy to invite trouble!" Chen Hu gave a reminder and turned to leave the kitchen.
Hearing this, Widow Wang also realized that this piece of meat was likely not simple and probably not an ordinary thing. For a moment, she was deeply moved, and her eyes became a bit moist.
Two days later.
After Widow Wang had memorized the entire Meridians chart, Chen Hu began to teach her a Cultivation Technique.
The Cultivation Technique he taught Widow Wang was neither the Longevity Technique nor the Fierce Tiger Force.
It was the Yellow Grade Cultivation Technique left behind by Shen Hongdou.
In order to let Widow Wang achieve success in her Cultivation as soon as possible, he directly injected his own Qi into her body, helped her open her Meridians, and then ran it a few times according to the Cultivation Technique's circulation route.
At the same time, he left that stream of Qi inside Widow Wang's body.
By doing this, he directly saved Widow Wang the time of comprehending Qi, condensing Qi, and opening her Meridians.
Of course, the consequence of doing this was that it directly consumed seventy to eighty percent of Chen Hu's Qi.
However, he did not care about that bit of Qi.
The Medicinal Pills and exotic beast meat on his person could allow him to recover his consumed Qi in a very short time.
Of course, it was also because he possessed Spiritual Sense that he could do this. Otherwise, even if it were someone else in the Tendon Refining Realm, they would not be able to achieve this step.
"Come, try it yourself!" Chen Hu encouraged Widow Wang.
Thus, Widow Wang began to mobilize the Qi within her body, stumbling and fumbling as she followed the circulation route of the first layer of the Cultivation Technique, and completed one cycle.
"Brother Hu, I succeeded!"
Widow Wang said excitedly. Feeling the warm ball of Qi in her lower abdomen, an indescribable joy welled up in her heart.
"Good, let's stop here for today!"
Chen Hu nodded in appreciation, and then began to tell Widow Wang about the precautions for Cultivation.
After finishing, Chen Hu took out a piece of exotic beast meat and began to recover his consumed Qi.
...
"Boss, big news!"
In the common room of the Gang's stronghold.
Er Niu rushed in and shouted gleefully.
"Speak, what is it?" Chen Hu stopped his Cultivation and asked.
Er Niu said with dancing eyebrows, "Something big happened over at the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall."
"Continue!"
Er Niu said, "I just got the news. Last night, a Personal Disciple and two Outer Sect Disciples of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall were brutally murdered in an abandoned courtyard!"
"Which Personal Disciple was it?" Chen Hu asked with some curiosity.
Er Niu said, "It was the fifth Personal Disciple, Lu Jianfei. That guy is usually extremely arrogant. When he sees us, he wishes his eyes were growing on top of his head. Now that he has been killed, he truly deserved it!"
The Sun Family Martial Arts Hall was right next to Yuquan Street.
However, that street was relatively quiet, so the Disciples of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall often came to Yuquan Street to eat and drink.
And what kind of people were those who joined a Gang? They were all children from poor families.
As for the Martial Arts Hall, even the families of ordinary Disciples were relatively wealthy. After all, going to a Martial Arts Hall to Cultivate required expensive tuition, at least 10 taels of silver a month.
10 taels of silver a month was something children from ordinary families could not afford.
Therefore, the best way to get ahead was to join a Gang. As long as one performed meritorious service, one could learn Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills for free.
Therefore, there was a reason why Martial Arts Hall Disciples looked down on Gang members.
"By the way, what is Master Sun Changming's reaction?" Chen Hu asked again.
Er Niu said, "Of course he is extremely furious. Not only did he send out many people to search for the murderer, but he also sent people to the prefectural government to ask the Constables to help search for the murderer!"
Hearing this, Chen Hu showed a thoughtful expression.
Then he said to Er Niu, "Go call your older brother and Song He."
Soon, Da Niu and Song He arrived.
Chen Hu said directly, "You have heard about the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall's Personal Disciple being killed, right?"
Da Niu nodded.
Song He, however, was just like Er Niu and said gleefully, "Serves him right!"
Immediately, the gazes of Chen Hu and Da Niu fell upon Song He.
Song He sneered, "Two years ago, my uncle personally took me to the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall, wanting to apprentice me under that old bastard Master Sun Changming. But that old bastard didn't give any Face at all and directly refused!"
"So that's how it is!"
Chen Hu nodded, "Master Sun Changming's Personal Disciple has died, so he is likely furious. You two, keep your brothers in check and absolutely do not get into conflicts with the Disciples of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall. Otherwise, the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall might make an example out of us.
Master Sun Changming is a great expert at the Late-stage Tendon Refining. Even our Gang leader is not his match. Once a conflict occurs, even if we suffer a loss, the Gang will not be able to uphold justice for us.
Therefore, if you encounter people from the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall, avoid them if you can and hide if you can!"
Hearing Chen Hu explain the reason, both of them immediately nodded.
Even Song He did not object. Although he held a grudge against Master Sun Changming in his heart, he knew that Chen Hu was right. The Fierce Tiger Gang really could not afford to provoke the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall, and it would be useless even if his uncle were an Elder.
