Chapter 32: Bone Touching and Capital Verification, Good Materials for Martial Arts Training

The burly Li Linfeng had stood up. With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he was a head taller than Shen Qing. He looked down at him, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Shen Qing even had the illusion that the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a wall.

Li Linfeng asked in a deep voice: "Have you practiced before?"

"I've practiced some Jiugongjin."

"How far have you practiced?"

"I can already feel a warm current in my dantian."

"Hmm? Have you developed Qi and blood?"

Li Linfeng's eyes moved over Shen Qing, and suddenly, an interesting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he suddenly became interested.

He put his hands together with his claws, and instantly grabbed Shen Qing's arms as if catching the wind and shadow, and pulled them outwards.

The movement was so fast, as quick as the wind, that Shen Qing couldn't react at all.

Shen Qing's heart was shocked, but he saw Li Linfeng gently exerting force with both hands, and a gentle but irresistible force came from his arms, like a stream penetrating into the body and flowing between the tendons and veins.

He involuntarily stood up straight following Li Linfeng's movements, and the muscles all over his body showed a subtle sense of tension and relaxation under the traction of the invisible force.

Shen Qing felt both nervous and excited.

"Is this a true martial artist? So amazing!"

The air around him seemed to freeze, and Shen Qing could only hear his own slightly rapid breathing.

He stared at Li Linfeng's face, his thoughts racing. He was worried that his roots were not good enough, but he also longed to be recognized.

Time seemed to be stretched at this moment, and the two emotions of anticipation and uneasiness kept interweaving and emerging in his heart.

Seeing Li Linfeng's brows slightly frowned, Shen Qing's heart seemed to be raised to his throat.

However, just when he was worried, he suddenly felt his body lighten, his feet left the ground, and he turned around in a strange posture.

When he landed, he staggered forward two steps and almost fell to the ground.

During this short period of time, Shen Qing realized clearly that Li Linfeng had touched his back spine, waist and shoulders.

A wave of tingling and numbness suddenly surged through his bones, making Shen Qing gasp involuntarily.

Li Linfeng's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and then a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "You have really cultivated your Qi and blood, which is more vigorous than that of ordinary people. Your bones are also good. You are a good material for martial arts training."

This simple sentence was like a spring thunder, which made the heavy stone in Shen Qing's heart fall to the ground, and his joy was beyond words.

"Thank you, uncle."

There are 300,000 people in Taiping County, and eight out of ten of them are lower-class people. They can't even get enough to eat, let alone have sufficient blood and qi. Even if there are some good seedlings, their foundation is too poor.

Most of the better martial arts talents come from wealthy families in the county.

These people have no shortage of channels to practice martial arts.

It is said that it is difficult to become a disciple and learn martial arts. Isn't it the same for these martial arts schools that are selecting talented people?

Li Linfeng looked at Shen Qing again, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

It’s a pity that I’m a little older.

So we can only say that he is a good material for practicing martial arts, but not a good seedling.

But the problem is not too big.

The Qi Niangzi's family had a clear background, and with such talent and cleverness, he was already somewhat interested and asked, "Can you read?"

"I recognize some." Shen Qing turned around and answered respectfully.

"That's good. If you want to practice martial arts here, you have to be able to read." Li Linfeng said casually.

Shen Qing could hear the hidden meaning of Li Linfeng's words, which meant that he was allowed to practice martial arts in Linfeng Hall. His eyes flashed with excitement, and his joy was beyond words. He found a backer!
Without saying a word, he bent his legs and landed heavily on his knees.

"Disciple pays homage to Master."

Shen Qing stretched out his hands forward, palms facing up, and his forehead touching the ground.

"You are so brave. I haven't said I will accept you as my apprentice yet. You stay in the inner courtyard. There will be a martial arts instructor to teach you." Li Linfeng took the silver coins that Shen Qing offered: "These are your tuition fees first."

"Everything is arranged by my uncle."

Aunt Shen Xiu, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that Li Linfeng was satisfied with Shen Qing.

If Shen Qing performs well, it may be possible for him to be transferred to the military class in the future.

Finally, there is someone from her family who can help her.

Li Linfeng looked at Shen Xiaohu standing beside him and said, "There's another one. Let me see."

Different from Shen Qing.

Li Linfeng did not make such a big movement, he just grabbed Shen Xiaohu's wrist and felt it.

After a moment, he said, "My bones are fine, but my internal energy is too weak. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to practice martial arts. For the sake of Qi Niangzi's family, you should give me seven taels of silver and let me cultivate my blood and energy in the outer sect first. Practice for three months and see if I can cultivate my blood and energy. We can talk about it later after I cultivate my blood and energy."

Shen Xiaohu's face lit up with joy at first, but then quickly dimmed.

Compared to Shen Qing, he is indeed much worse.

However, his family had never intended for him to practice martial arts, but now that he has this opportunity it is already very rare.

He didn't dare to ask for too much and just thanked her clumsily.

Shen Qing thought of something and said, "Uncle, I am a hunter registered as a farmer, and I still need to go hunting in the mountains and pay taxes. I want to ask, if I want to practice martial arts in the future, do I have to be in the martial arts hall every day?"

Shen Xiu, who was standing by, answered for Li Linfeng: "Every day in the martial arts hall, you are treated as a true disciple. In Linfeng Hall, whether you are from the inner or outer sect, you can come and go freely. It's just that the martial arts teachers are a little different. How much you want to practice is entirely up to you."

"I see." After Shen Qing understood the situation, he said goodbye: "It's getting late now, and we have to go back to the village early. I won't bother my aunt and uncle here anymore. I'll come back later."

"Okay, you go now. Next time you come, just go find a martial arts instructor. I won't see you off." Li Linfeng said calmly.

Shen Qing bowed and turned to leave.

After Shen Qing and Shen Xiaohu left, Shen Xiu's eyes were bright, and she quickly gave a thousand blessings and said, "Thank you, husband, for giving Qingzi a chance. Qingzi will definitely work hard in the future and live up to your kindness."

Li Linfeng waved his hand and said, "Just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about these things."

He casually said a concerned word and walked out of the pavilion.

At this moment he suddenly remembered something.

"I forgot to ask that kid which martial arts school he went to to practice the Nine Powers Brocade. It must have taken him a lot of effort to develop Qi and blood."

"Forget it, I'll ask him next time."

There are many tips and tricks in martial arts.

Jiugongjin is an ordinary basic martial art, which mainly focuses on nourishing Qi and blood. It is not difficult to practice it.

But this doesn't mean you can succeed just by practicing randomly.

If no one points out some of the tricks involved, you will have to take a lot of detours.

In his opinion, Shen Qing must have found someone to practice with.

Li Linfeng walked down from the pavilion and stopped after taking a few steps.

His face looked as if he was in great pain.

After a moment, Li Linfeng turned around and walked towards the door, muttering to himself, "Let's finish today's business today. That kid hasn't gone far yet, so I'll ask him first and not wait until next time."
