Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 13 Rapid progress

"I'm going to be away this time, and I'll be back in a month at most, or ten days at the shortest."

At the gate of the charity cemetery, Uncle Jiu once again gave his three disciples instructions before leaving.

"So fast?"

Qiu Sheng opened his eyes wide. Isn’t Maoshan very far away from Fujian? How can it be possible to go back and forth in ten days or half a month?

In this way, there won’t be a few good days to slack off.

Knowing what Qiu Sheng was thinking, Uncle Jiu glared at him and said emphatically.

"While I'm away, you must practice diligently and don't slack off."

"Yes."

Three people responded, but Qiu Sheng and Wencai's voices sounded weak.

Uncle Jiu was already used to his apprentice's misbehavior, so he continued with his instructions.

"Don't forget, on July 15th, the Ghost Festival, buy some things for me and burn them over there."

As he spoke, he took out a list and two silver dollars and handed them to Qiu Sheng.

"Thirty pairs of boys and girls, twenty latest-model bicycles, ten thousand gold ingots..."

Looking at the list that was more than half a meter long and then at the pitiful two silver dollars, Qiu Sheng's eyes widened.

"How can two dollars cover so many things?"

"These are made of paper, not real. Two dollars is definitely enough!"

"Even if it's barely enough, I'm afraid there won't be much left."

Qiu Sheng looked reluctant and complained in a low voice.

Uncle Jiu waved his hand and spoke directly.

"It's not that there's not much left, I've calculated, but there's not a penny left."

"Ah? Then we've worked in vain!"

"If you answer correctly, it's all in vain."

Uncle Jiu snorted coldly, then picked up his bag and said something to the three of them.

"Remember what I said, I'm leaving."

"Master, have a bon voyage!"

The three of them waved goodbye with reluctance on their faces. As soon as Uncle Jiu took two steps, the three of them immediately put away their expressions and turned around to enter the charity cemetery.

"Master, this is too stingy."

In the yard, looking at the two silver dollars in his hand and then at the long list, Qiu Sheng muttered again.

When a Zhengyi Taoist priest is ordained, in addition to his rank, different positions of deity have different responsibilities.

Uncle Jiu is the comprador of the underworld. He is responsible for purchasing various items for the underworld in the world of the living and burning them during the Ghost Festival.

He asked Qiu Sheng and the other two to help with the purchases, which was actually an official errand.

Even Li Kunshan, who had followed Uncle Jiu for two years, was not unfamiliar with this.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell does not send evil ghosts. Uncle Jiu calculated it so clearly and there was not a penny extra. With Qiu Sheng's personality, how could he be happy about it?

"It's really stingy."

Wencai whispered beside him.

"A few days ago, I overheard Master talking to the ghost messenger. They actually allocated four dollars this time!"

"Four! He took two for himself! He could have given us one!"

Qiu Sheng jumped up and looked at Wencai in confusion.

"How did you hear that? When did you learn to understand nonsense?"

"I don't understand, but I can see. I can see clearly. Four dollars."

"That's just peeping, and you call it eavesdropping."

Qiu Sheng waved his hand and frowned again.

If you get some benefit from it, you will feel depressed.

But Uncle Jiu was too shrewd. He had already calculated everything and didn't give even a penny more.

How can they make money from this?

"Do we have to go to Hongfu to buy the things on this list?"

Li Kunshan walked over, took a look, and said lightly.

"There's only one paper-folding shop in town, so where else can we go if not to Hongfuhao?"

Qiu Sheng responded casually, his eyes fixed on the silver dollar, as if he wanted to show off two more.

"There's also a paper-folding shop in the next town."

At this time, Wencai took over the conversation and said with a smug smile.

"I've been there before, and the things there are cheaper than on the Hongfu." "Cheap!"

Qiu Sheng's eyes widened, he understood instantly, his face full of excitement, but then he frowned.

"But the stuff in the next town is far inferior to what we have on the Hongfu."

"The master is not here anyway."

Wencai lowered his head and muttered softly.

"Yeah! I'm so stupid!"

Qiu Sheng finally reacted and became excited again.

"The master is not here anyway, so we can just burn it after buying it. How would the master know that we are passing off inferior goods as good ones?"

"That's just fooling around."

Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile at the side.

Wencai smiled and continued.

"That way, we can save money."

"Then do it!"

Qiu Sheng looked happy and continued.

"After I finish shopping, let's see how much money is left. Then we can split it among the three of us!"

I have to say that although Qiu Sheng is naughty, he is still a very loyal person.

Li Kunshan smiled, stopped talking to them, gathered his thoughts, and started practicing boxing.

Crackling~Sizzling~!

As he used the Lightning Thunder Fist, arcs of electricity flashed continuously on his fists, and the crackling sounds seemed a bit dazzling even in broad daylight.

"Compared to the past few days, Junior Brother seems to have more electricity in his hands."

Wencai was standing by, whispering something to Qiu Sheng with a hint of fear on his face.

“It’s even more powerful.”

Qiu Sheng nodded, but his mind was now on how to save money.

Boom~!

After a moment, after practicing a set of boxing techniques, Li Kunshan punched the wooden stake next to him.

Along with the loud noise, the thick wooden piles buried deep underground vibrated violently, and the already smooth surface was left with lightning scorch marks.

"Hoo~!"

Li Kunshan let out a long breath, then stopped and stood still.

He took a look at the marks on the wooden stake and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

As a type of thunder technique, the Lightning Thunder Fist is a boxing technique, but each move is accompanied by thunder and lightning.

In this way, all the originally pure physical attacks will be accompanied by spell damage.

Not only does it enhance the power of fists, it also causes great damage to ghosts and the like.

Thunder and lightning are extremely yang and can restrain all evil spirits.

This is also why ghosts and monsters are most afraid of Thunder God.

When encountering some difficult monsters, the gods of thunder are often dispatched from heaven.

"almost."

Taking a look at the personal panel, the experience value of Lightning Thunder Fist increased by 1 point.

With the purple attribute [Natural Thunder Body]'s bonus, Lightning Thunder Fist's level improved rapidly. He practiced diligently every day, even finding time to chop wood. A few days ago, Li Kunshan had already upgraded Lightning Thunder Fist to the second level, and was now only 200 experience points away from the third level.

At this rate, I should be able to reach the third level within half a month!

At that time, a magical power will be derived.

The magical power of Lightning Thunder Fist is exciting just thinking about it.

所有技能，升级所需经验一样，分别是：100、300、600；1000、3000、6000；1w、3w、6w……

Every three levels are a watershed, and the first three levels are relatively easy.

"continue."

In order to develop his supernatural powers as soon as possible, after a short rest, Li Kunshan took a deep breath and continued practicing.

I practiced hard like this continuously until dinner time at night.

Seeing Li Kunshan working so hard, Wencai couldn't help but grin. He thought that all the skills he had practiced in his life combined might not be as much as what Li Kunshan had practiced in the past few days.

"After all, you are young and really obedient."

Qiu Sheng joked, "Who would still practice martial arts when the master is not around?"
