Beiyin Great Sage

"Don't worry, Auntie. With Uncle Xue by my side, nothing will happen. Come in and sit down. My father should be back tomorrow."

"Going to look for medicine again." Mrs. Lei frowned, seeming to blame:

"Running around all day is worrying for no reason."

Seeing that Shan Muhua was not there, and everyone here was women, Zhou Jia didn't go in, handed his goodbyes, and went back to his small courtyard.

……

……

……

months later.

"Gollum..."

There is no charcoal fire under the medicine barrel, but the medicine inside boils strangely spontaneously.

The strong medicinal fragrance permeates the entire room, and the water vapor surges, causing white smoke to spread around the tub, making it impossible to see your fingers.

Zhou Jia's whole body was soaked in the medicine bucket. Under the high temperature, his skin and flesh turned red, his hairs expanded, and he swallowed the power of the medicine bath with every breath.

Secret medicine!

This is the secret medicine for cultivating the iron body.

It is made of decades-old herbal medicine fused with the blood powder of black iron fierce beasts. In addition to assisting in the cultivation of the iron body, it also has a slight effect of promoting cultivation.

"call……"

After a long time, the white smoke in the field suddenly gathered inwards and merged into Zhou Jia's mouth, followed by a light puff, like a sharp arrow shooting several feet away.

On the hard stone slab, a depression quietly appeared.

Iron body proficiency (620/1000)

"Wow..."

Zhou Jia stood up from the medicine barrel, his whole body trembling slightly, and the water droplets on his body flew out, his body instantly recovered to dryness, and he casually pulled the long gown on the side and put it on.

Ever since Longhuxuan entered his body, his physical body has also been getting stronger as his cultivation has improved.

But getting stronger physically doesn't mean that body forging is useless.

Just like this iron body.

As the core inheritance of the Tieyuan Sect, the skill of using strength and exerting strength is amazing.

Now, even if a sixth-rank expert slashes randomly with a weapon in his hand, he doesn't make any resistance, just relying on the strength of his flesh and blood, he can be uninjured.

It was as if he was wearing a layer of armor, even if he was a rank nine master, it would not be easy to injure him severely.

And the cultivation base...

Ninth Grade Internal Strength (28100/30000)

It is only one step away from the tenth rank.

"Shh!"

There was lightning in his figure, and Jiuzhong's steps up the stairs were like stepping on a ladder. There was nothing in the void, but Zhou Jia still took several steps before falling lightly.

Mastery of Nine Steps Climbing Stairs (60/1500)

With the improvement of cultivation base, strength, and vision, even if there is no such thing as a soldier-like trait to bless lightness kung fu, the progress is still not slow.

after all.

Rank [-] and Rank [-], if you practice a martial skill together, Rank [-] must be faster.

There is a world of difference between the movement of power, the exertion of muscles, and the control of source power.

Coupled with the trait of listening to the wind, lightness kung fu is no longer an obvious weakness on Zhou Jia.

of course.

Compared with those who specialize in kung fu, they are still far inferior.

"Master."

on the water,

A flat boat, flooding the rivers and lakes.

Sanshui, wearing a coir raincoat, came out from under the black canopy, waving from a distance:

"Are you going to travel today?"

Scanning the surroundings, the lake's light and water color, connected to the sky and the earth, his mood couldn't help but tremble, Zhou Jia smiled freely:

"Go prepare wine and dishes."

"Yes!"

Sanshui should be.

……

A flat boat rippling in the water.

Zhou Jia was wearing a coir raincoat and sitting alone on the bow of the boat. The stove beside him was buzzing and emitting white smoke. The warm wine on it was already hot and ready to drink.

But he was completely oblivious, holding a fishing rod and staring at the water.

After a while.

"Shh!"

The fishing rod was swung high, and a yellow croaker was pulled out of the water. In the afterglow of the setting sun, there were some splashes, and it was thrown heavily on the board of the boat.

"Ah……"

Zhou Jia chuckled, skillfully put away the fishing line, and filled it with warm wine.

The fish basket under his feet has already reaped a lot.

Yellow phosphorous fish, blacktail fish, and Longyang fish are all high-quality fish caught in the nearby waters. If they are sold, they may be able to sell a lot of origin stones.

He didn't care about these fish catches, but enjoyed the process.

This life is difficult, and only at this moment can I relax my mind, forget about the beatings and killings of the outside world, and be at ease.

"Crash..."

Not far away, a figure turned into a slender white line in the water, swam from the island, came to the front, and jumped into the boat.

"Master."

Sanshui wiped off the water droplets on his face, took off a waterproof cloth pocket from his body, and took out some things in it, one size at a time:

"This is Liu Ye's stewed meat, and San Niang's side dishes, your favorite salad."

"Ah."

Zhou Jia nodded and looked at the small island covered with reeds not far away:

"Where are they hiding?"

"Yes." Sanshui nodded:

"It's time for military conscription. Their families have no money and no quota of exemptions. They can only hide on the island and go back after the conscription period is over."

"What about at home?"

"A broken house is not worth three or five dollars. It doesn't matter if it is smashed or taken over by someone. As long as people are alive, life can continue."

Zhou Jia was silent.

Every two years is the day when the Chi Xiao Army recruits soldiers.

Being a soldier is not a good job, very few people can get ahead, and more people have been bullied and even suffered casualties.

There is no distinction between men and women in recruitment here, only age.

Those over the age of 13 and under the age of 60 are required to perform military service.

woman……

The same is true.

They are also useful in the military.

Needless to say what it is for, but good people will never want a woman who has served in the military. Either she is married with money or she becomes a prostitute.

There are many brothels in the city, and most of the people in them are women who have served in the military.

If you don't want to go, you need to have a quota of exemptions, or pay a deduction.

So at this time, there are people who are trying to avoid military service. The rich are easy to talk about, and the poor are naturally fleeing with their families.

However, the Akasaka Army has a conscription quota.

If not enough...

Everyone in Shicheng is having a hard time!

Years ago.

There was a city that failed to complete the conscription task, and was conquered by the Chixiao army, and the city was full of millions of people, all of whom were slaughtered.

The city was massacred for seven days, leaving no survivors.

At that time, the blood flowed like a river,

It is said that the scene was horrible!

Therefore, in order to complete the mission, the City Lord's Mansion, Su Family, Tianhu Gang, Tianshui Village, and even the Blood Vine Tower will do their best.

All forces will give up their prejudices and work together to find enough manpower.

'The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps, and the shrimps can only find places to hide, lingering. '

Regarding such matters, Zhou Jia could do nothing, but just watched the changes of the situation quietly as an indifferent bystander.

"Master."

After setting things up, Sanshui said eagerly:

"I've passed."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia nodded, seeing his longing face, he couldn't help laughing, and threw a piece of fish over:

"Go!"

"Thank you, master!"

Sanshui was overjoyed, kowtowed hurriedly, and hurriedly put the fish into the bag.

He was actually very curious, why Zhou Jia could harvest so many high-quality fish every time when he came out, it must be impossible to say that he was lucky.

One time is good luck, is it good luck every time?

He also quietly rowed to Zhou Jia's fishing place to try, but the harvest was very little.

He asked once but didn't get an answer, so he didn't dare to ask again. He knew the identities of the two of them very well and never dared to go beyond.

Sanshui obviously didn't know that there was a thing called Beast Lure Pill in this world.

Although Zhou Jia didn't have the blood of the Children of the Forest, he had a recipe book, coupled with the spiritual rain technique, it was easy to get some high-quality medicinal materials.

If he wanted to, he could earn a fortune just by fishing.

"Wow..."

Lightly waving the long sleeves, the energy surged, and the black-covered boat was like a sharp arrow accelerating, cutting the waves against the water surface, and shooting forward.

Not long after, it was several miles away.

The waterways here are criss-crossed, the undercurrents are surging, and the awning boat floats along the water. Zhou Jia didn't bother to adjust, set up the fishing rod and let it sway, and tasted the wine and food beside him.

The wine is delicious, and the side dishes are delicious.

The catch is endless.

After an unknown amount of time, the drunk Zhou Jia frowned, sniffed lightly, swung his long sleeves suddenly, and pushed the awning boat closer to a small island not far away.

Before it got close, a strong smell of blood came to the nostrils.
