I am a living immortal.

Chapter 337 Practice

Accompanied by the waiter, I went upstairs.

There were far fewer people on the second floor than on the first. They all looked to be powerful martial artists. Occasionally, they would flip through the bookshelves and see the old goat being escorted upstairs.

They were not expecting such a scene and they all looked at him curiously.

Old Goat was used to these stares and ignored them. He scanned the bookshelf alone, running his hand over the books and picking up one after another. The waiters went from smiling happily at the beginning to being shocked and panicked. Before they knew it, their hands were full of books.

"This... is objective. Are you sure you really want these? They're not cheap."

The old goat didn't answer and continued walking towards another shelf. This was the third time the waiter had asked him, and he ignored the questions about non-refundable items after purchase.

Money? He had plenty. Su Mu didn't care about gold and silver, and neither did he. He had sold a few ornaments from the yard, so he should be quite rich, with both gold and silver notes.

This silver note was exchanged in Jiading Prefecture and is convenient to use.

Seeing that his words were completely ignored, the waiter following the old goat stopped trying to persuade him. Now they had at least a hundred books in their hands, plus the basic ones from before. They didn't know what this person was thinking. Anyway, he just didn't want to practice on himself. Even a three-year-old child knows the principle of biting off more than you can chew, not to mention that this is not as simple as biting off more.

The waiter didn't even dare to think about it.

But he didn't know that there has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, and the old goat himself felt that this was not a difficult task after being influenced by his surroundings.

The only thing that worries the old goat is whether this is too diligent and whether his brain will be full of grooves.

But even though he thought so, his hand showed no sign of stopping. He kept picking until the end. He curled his lips. That was it? He had heard Su Mu talk about some peerless martial arts, although that was just a story from when Su Mu was a child.

It's a bit of a pity.

The waiters seemed dissatisfied with the old goat's appearance. Who is this person? Oh, the God of Wealth, that's all right.

"What else do you need?"

"No, that's all for now."

For now? The waiter blushed, then put on a smile: "Okay, please follow me."

Piles of martial arts secret manuals were placed on the counter. The stern-faced shopkeeper no longer looked stern, but rather enthusiastic like a blooming sunflower. The abacus in his hand kept clicking, and the more he clicked, the brighter the smile on his face became.

It seems that there is overlap with other shopkeepers.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-four books, totaling one thousand one hundred and twenty-three taels."

"Just give me one thousand one hundred taels." The shopkeeper put away his smile. His only worry now was that the person in front of him could not afford it. Unexpectedly, the old goat took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, counted out eleven and threw them on the table. Not even half of the stack of banknotes was used.

The old goat didn't count the money, so he spent less than he had imagined. He took two thousand taels of silver notes and one hundred taels of gold as a reserve.

The shopkeeper's face once again blossomed towards the sun.

"Do you need me to send it back?" the shopkeeper asked considerately.

"No thanks." The old goat refused.

A hundred or so books wasn't a lot. Although some were large and some were small, stacking them together would only make two piles. He asked the shopkeeper for two ropes to tie them up before carrying them away. The shopkeeper even personally walked them to the door and said, "Come back again. I'll let you know when I find the top secret manuals."

He keeps nagging and is a bit annoying.

The old goat quickened his pace and left in a few steps. The shopkeeper, who had been smiling like a sunflower, slowly lost his smile and said to the waiter, "Don't let anyone rob you. Understand?"

The waiter nodded immediately and asked two people to escort them. Showing off their wealth would definitely attract attention. Several people dressed in gangster style had already followed them out.

This is a big customer. To ensure his safety, those top-notch skills can be released slowly. Judging from the other party's appearance, he has a lot of money, so I think he will definitely be interested.

However, unexpectedly, the waiter came back shortly after he walked out.

"what happened?"

"I didn't catch up with anyone, but I did see a few people with broken limbs in an alley. They were the ones I just followed out."

"Is that so? It seems the other party is not simple. But it makes sense that a simple person would buy so many secret books so openly." The shopkeeper touched his chin.

"In that case, forget it."

…………

The old goat casually broke the hands and feet of several people before he realized that Su Mu seemed to be still in seclusion in the yard, so he rented another yard. After all, he wanted to practice martial arts, and the inn would be a little noisy.

It's almost dark these days.

Looking at the two bundles of secret books in his hands, he didn't care. He never thought that he, an old goat, would have to study late into the night one day. Things in the world are unpredictable.

He flipped through the books one by one. The basic moves were very simple and he could basically learn them after reading them once. He could get started with just a few practice. He read very quickly and finished reading all the more than ten books in less than two hours.

From just flipping through the pages at the beginning, to practicing while flipping through the pages later.

The sound of flipping pages could be heard in the yard, and the old goat seemed to have entered a state of meditation, with his fists and palms moving and his feet practicing Tai Chi. All kinds of basic martial arts were mastered in him. The old goat practiced martial arts at an incredibly fast speed, and the shadows behind him demonstrated different moves.

In line with the illustrations recorded in the books that were floating in the air and flipping through the pages, the books flipped quickly like a comic book, and the movements became smoother.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon rises and the sun sets.

The hundred martial arts manuals, from the most basic to the advanced, were continuously integrated into the old goat's limbs and became instincts, and then began to be streamlined. These hundreds of books, thousands of moves, were continuously compressed. Initially, a complete rehearsal took several days, with tens of thousands of moves. Later, the rehearsal time became shorter and shorter, from several days to one day, to half a day, to an hour, to the time of an incense stick. The moves also increased from the original tens of thousands to thousands, a thousand, a hundred, and even a dozen moves.

Later on, these moves were no longer restricted by form, but could be performed freely. Various weapons were displayed in different forms of the body, but the power did not change at all. It took him nearly half a month to fully understand and integrate hundreds of martial arts manuals into himself, thus forming a system.

The old goat had not practiced any half-baked immortal arts, nor had he casually practiced the demon body. This martial arts system was the first one he had built up from the basics. From now on, although its power was far from comparable to those immortal arts, this was just a beginning.

He let out a long breath that seemed to stretch on and on.
