The Swordsman who started from Baicaotang

The empty boat of heaven and earth.

Life is like a journey.

The sky darkened, the wind blew violently, and the weather was stormy.

A month later, it finally rained. Unlike the previous rain, this rain was clearly the product of the interaction between heaven and earth.

The rain was not heavy, dripping from the eaves. Half an hour later, the clouds and rain dispersed, and the sky was clear. The wind blowing through the long street brought a slight coolness, making people feel very comfortable.

One month.

Huang Feng took half of the low-grade Jingxue Pill and did not stop taking the Zhuangxue Soup every day. His swordsmanship was extremely advanced, and he could absorb more than 90% of the medicinal power every time, and his practice also improved rapidly.

He has now reached the peak of the second level of physical training, and is only one step away from the third level. He still has half of the lower-grade blood essence pill in his hand. In ten days at most, he will be able to break through to the third level of physical training.

Maybe this is genius.

Geniuses practice much faster than ordinary people. Their understanding of the techniques is far superior to that of ordinary people, and their ability to refine and absorb medicinal power is also much stronger. In short, when taking the same elixir, geniuses will see much better results than ordinary people.

Many forces specialize in training geniuses, firstly because they use geniuses as thugs, and secondly because geniuses need relatively fewer resources to grow. Even if ordinary people are given a mountain of gold and silver and soak in medicine jars every day, they may not be able to break through the third level of true qi.

The same is true for Baicaotang.

Baicaotang was making a fortune, and other forces had long been eyeing it, with their eyes reddened. If there were no strong people to guard it, it would have been torn to pieces long ago.

The training of medicine servants was only one of the plans of Baicaotang, and at most it was just a side job. Their most important trump cards were those orphans with outstanding talents, and there were also descendants of Baicaotang's own people.

These people have been trained since childhood, are loyal, and are carefully selected, so they rarely betray. They will be fully trained by Baicaotang, and almost all of the selected geniuses will be able to enter the third realm of true qi in the future.

A medicine servant.

In the eyes of the top management of Baicaotang, he was indeed just cannon fodder. He did some trivial things and dealt with some people who were not presentable. When the genius went out to travel, the medicine servant acted as a guard. If he encountered danger, he would go to die for the genius.

The medicine servants are all teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old. They are already sensible and it is hard to say how loyal they are to Baicaotang. They are very easily tempted by other forces.

However, sometimes there are geniuses and loyal people among the medicine servants, and they cannot be simply judged as such.

For example, Cui Meng!

Cui Meng was one of them. He was loyal to Baicaotang and had good talent. It was just that he was a little old when he started practicing martial arts. If Baicaotang had trained him since he was young, he would have already broken through the third level of true qi.

The children raised by Baicaotang were almost immersed in medicine jars. They started to practice martial arts after the age of seven or eight, and generally became warriors around the age of ten. The talented children became warriors at the age of eight or nine.

Generally, people in their twenties can enter the third level of true qi. When the time is right, they start to travel around the world and hone their martial arts.

Some people will die in the raging waves of the world, some will get great opportunities, and some will be ordinary. Everyone has their own fate, and it cannot be forced.

Generally speaking, after three months of being a medicine servant, they will start to learn to read and identify herbs. There are certain tests, and if you pass, you will be rewarded, and you don't have to be a medicine servant. After all, reading and identifying herbs is also a kind of ability.

They could help the doctors, manage herbs, or dispense medicine for others. After making contributions, they would have the opportunity to learn medical skills.

This is also a way out, and only smart people can do it, because there is only one month. More than half of the medicine servants will choose to take this path, which is safe and comfortable, and also has a skill.

After passing the assessment, they no longer have to stay in the compound, but will be assigned to other places, where they will continue to learn the basics of herbal medicine.

If they fail to learn martial arts and cannot read and write, they can only become medicine servants, the lowest level of the Baicaotang. They have no freedom and no salary. They have to eat three meals a day, try soup and medicine from time to time, and do some hard labor. However, they don't have to fight to the death, so they can survive.

Some timid people want to be a medicine servant. Anyway, Baicaotang will not feed them poison, nor will it beat them to death. Even some new medicines cannot kill people.

Everyone has their own ideas and their own life.

It's hard to force!

this day.

Old Hu led Huang Feng out of the compound to learn basic knowledge about herbal medicine and learn how to read and write.

Originally, this task was to be carried out three months later, but Huang Feng's talent was too high and he had already broken through the second level of body refining, so this plan had to be brought forward.

It had been such a long time, but this was the first time that Huang Feng had walked out of the compound. Normally, the medicine servants were not allowed to leave the compound. He practiced swordplay every day, and his schedule was very tight, so he had no mood to go out for a stroll.

Along the way, the two chatted intermittently.

"Huang Feng, you have amazing talent in martial arts, so you don't need to worry about being able to read and write. Don't waste your time on it. As long as you can understand the text and identify some common herbs, that will be enough."

This is true!

This is also Lao Hu’s experience.

People's energy is always limited. They cannot take care of too many things at once, otherwise they will get nothing in the end.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Huang Feng replied calmly.

"Yeah." Lao Hu responded, and then said,

"You have an extraordinary mind, so you will naturally understand this. But there is one thing I need to remind you of."

"When you are learning about herbs, there are many women around. You need to keep your distance from them, and you cannot have secret feelings for them, let alone have affairs with them. Strictly speaking, we are all slaves of Baicao Hall, and our lives and deaths are in their hands."

"No matter what you do, you have to look at their faces. If they find out that you have committed adultery with a woman, or even that she is pregnant, not only will your future be ruined, but the woman will also suffer."

"Unless Baicaotang is rewarded, you must not get involved with women. You have amazing talent, and you may be able to enter the third level of true energy in the future. Just like Lao Cui, take back your slave status."

When he said this, Lao Hu's eyes were full of envy. He and Cui Meng came in together, and Cui Meng's martial arts talent was stronger than his.

Cui Meng is about to break through the third level of Qi, but he is still at the peak of the seventh level of physical training, and it seems that it will take a long time. If there is no other opportunity, he will never be able to enter the third level of Qi and get back his slavery in this life.

It’s a big regret!

Fortunately, Baicaotang treated him well, and he had delicious food and spicy drinks every day, and his life was full of joy. If it were placed outside, it would be a happy life that many people could hardly imagine.

"The instructor said that keeping the yang essence from leaking out is beneficial to breaking through the third level of true qi. Before I break through the third level of true qi, I will never have anything to do with a woman."

Tsk.

Hearing this, Lao Hu could not help but be shocked. His cultivation was much worse than Cui Meng's, probably because he had lost too much of his yang energy. Cui Meng, on the other hand, still maintained his yang energy, commonly known as a virgin.

He still couldn't figure out how Cui Meng did it. He was already over 30 years old, but he had never touched a woman. With their status, as long as they didn't mess with the women in Baicaotang, they could spend some money and go to a brothel outside, and no one would gossip about them.

Cui Meng did not do this, and he has been practicing hard for more than ten years. This kind of perseverance and determination is admirable.
