I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

The liquid was grey-brown and looked like a pot of muddy soup.

It was still piping hot when it arrived, but it was just warm when Rosen dipped his fists into it.

"hiss."

He gasped as the liquid soaked into the wounds on his fists.

My fists were numb more than painful when I hit them.

But after soaking in the medicinal solution, the pain was completely activated.

Among all living beings in this world, the threshold for martial arts is the lowest.

Almost everyone can practice martial arts to strengthen their body, even if they are not at an advanced level.

However, the physical suffering of martial arts is also the price that must be paid in order to gain strength.

In contrast, the practice of refining the spirit is much easier, mainly involving meditation and mobilizing the consciousness and subconscious mind.

But there are thresholds for refining the gods.

So Rosen has no complaints about the hardships he has to endure.

Apart from anything else, even injecting gene-enhancing agents has a 48-hour adverse reaction period.

The pain in both fists only lasted for less than ten breaths, and then a warm and comfortable feeling came from the wound at the edge of the back fist.

This feeling was hard to describe, so Rosen simply closed his eyes.

Until Zhang Zhenyu pulled out his fists.

A trickle of medicine fell from his arm.

There was a trace of turbid oil visible to the naked eye in the soup basin.

"Yue Ning, let Aunt Wang prepare porridge."

"Pick a fat rib from the four-eye beef and steam it in the pot."

"Dinner will be served in half an hour."

Zhang Yuening stayed in the front hall, curiously watching Rosen's "newbie" practice.

Both brothers and sisters came here this way.

I was still young at that time and couldn't bear the pain, so I was often scolded by my father.

A disciple with a tenacious temperament like Rosen is simply the dream lover of the old masters.

After being soaked with the medicinal solution, his fists were covered with a layer of dirt.

The wound did not heal immediately, but the pain was greatly relieved and the bleeding stopped.

After gaining a little experience, Rosen hit the coarse sand basin again.

According to Zhang Zhenyu, hitting the sand three times a day can complete skin training with both fists in about 24 days.

From behind are the arms, shoulders, neck, buttocks and legs, head, face and private parts.

Different parts have different skin training methods.

The whole process normally takes 8 to 12 months to complete the whole body skin training.

If one's own body can bear it, coupled with nourishing beast meat and medicinal soup, the process can be greatly shortened.

But in this case, the cost will increase several times.

But Rosen was not short of money, so Zhang Zhenyu planned to ask for his opinion afterwards.

The first three realms are mainly for exercising the body and belong to external training.

When the martial arts realm reaches the fourth level of strong bones, you can cultivate Qi and blood.

At that time, it will be transformed from external training to internal training.

Therefore, what Zhang Zhenyu said is correct. Martial arts does require a lot more hardship than practicing god training.

In this way, after playing two rounds of sand basin, he began to teach Rosen the basic pile skills.

I saw Zhang Zhenyu leaping forward and standing lightly on the bilateral bridge.

Stretch your arms forward in a posture of pushing your palms outward, with your legs at shoulder height and your toes pointed outward.

Even though the bridge bars on both sides are only three fingers wide, he is still as stable as a mountain.

"This is the introductory Zhenyue Zhuang. Long-term practice can stabilize the lower body and stretch the muscles and bones."

"While standing, you need to use breathing techniques to regulate your breath."

"Beginners just need to try their best to stand still, and I will correct your posture by the side."

"The entry pile has been standing for a quarter of an hour to qualify."

After that, he jumped down.

Rosen followed his instructions and climbed up the side slope to the bilateral bridge.

After going up, he realized that just standing firm was not easy.

Finding balance, correcting posture, and regulating breath are all indispensable.

Finally, they all reached the standard, and the sky was bright above our heads.

And persisting in the pile work for a quarter of an hour is a test of both body and will.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and starting when you have no experience is the most difficult test of patience and resilience.

It wasn't until Zhang Zhenyu shouted to stop that Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.

After wiping his body, head and face a little, he and Zhang Zhenyu returned to the front hall.

On the table were already placed three bowls of porridge with a faint medicinal aroma and a beef rib as thick as an arm with yellow fat between it.

This breakfast combination is a little weird, but it's a rare delicacy for Rosen.

After sitting down, everyone picked up bowls of porridge, and he drank a bowl of porridge first.

A comfortable warmth spread from his stomach to his whole body, especially staying on his legs and fists for a long time.

After finishing the porridge, Zhang Zhenyu picked up a piece of beef ribs and placed it in front of him.

"This is the meat of a four-eyed bull."

"Eating it can strengthen your qi and blood."

"With your current progress, one piece is enough."

"If you eat too much, you will feel hot all over and even have a nosebleed."

He introduced with a smile.

Rosen looked at the beef ribs in front of him and couldn't help but swallowed.

Fresh meat is a temptation that no wastelander can refuse.

It was rare to see him showing a salivating expression, and Zhang Zhenyu couldn't help but laugh.

This is what a teenager should look like.

Rosen grabbed the beef ribs and started to chew on them.

The meat is fresh and tender, with no odor except for the taste of salt water.

The yellow beef fat is fat but not greasy.

The most important thing is that after taking this mouthful of meat, there is also a pleasant warmth.

This is probably the so-called "tonifying" effect.

After finishing a beef rib in three to five times, Rosen licked the corners of his lips with unfinished content.

"Brother Zhenning, isn't this meat extraordinary?"

This is obviously not an effect that ordinary meat can achieve.

Zhang Zhenning nodded lightly.

"The four-eyed savage bull is a relatively common second-level savage beast."

"But ordinary second-level body-tempering realm warriors can't control it."

"The beef has great strength, and the meat is sweet and mild in taste. It has the effects of nourishing the liver and strengthening the kidneys, replenishing qi and strength, and relieving injuries."

"It is more dear than silver."

"Six taels of silver, one tael of meat."

"By the way, after drying this bone, it can be worth four or five coins when sold to a medicine shop."

he said with a smile.

"I used some of the silver ingots and foreign banknotes you saved yesterday to order four-eye beef at Wushanzhai."

"It is used to replenish your body and lay a solid foundation."

No wonder there is only one beef rib on the table, which is expensive.

With the inflow of foreign silver from America, the purchasing power of silver is decreasing year by year.

But six taels of silver is enough for a family of three in Jinmen to spend about two months on food rations, but here it is just a few mouthfuls of meat for him.

The threshold for a warrior is not high, but after refining, it still costs a lot of money.

This is only meat, not counting the consumption of soups and medicines.

Therefore, there is a saying that the poor in culture and wealth in military affairs.

But no matter what, in this world where productivity has not yet exploded, anyone who is out of work is valuable.

"I want to practice more."

After nourishing himself with the meal, Rosen regained his strength.

He took the initiative to ask Zhang Zhenyu.

However, he was rejected.

"Asen, haste makes waste."

"Martial arts and god refining are both water-milled skills."

“You need patience, perseverance and great perseverance to achieve anything.”

…

Regarding purchasing power, part of the book refers to the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

One tael of silver is equivalent to approximately 200 to 350 yuan, and the rest is based on the settings in the book.

For example, one tael of silver in the Qing Dynasty is 37.3 grams. For convenience and substitution, the book defaults to 50 grams of one tael.

If prices are completely compared with history, sometimes there will be a big difference in prices between ten and twenty years.

Just treat it as an overhead and have a rough value standard.

The conversion of expenses is also related to the scarcity of supplies at the time.

The conversions of silver to copper, silver to grain, silver to daily necessities, and silver to labor assets are all different from modern times. This is also the result of disputes about commodity prices.

To sum it up, the protagonist is rich.

In addition, there is an exaggerated gold to silver ratio in the book.

Will be introduced one after another later.

Also, the protagonist is a useless second generation, so the initial conversation will not be so formal.

There will be differences in his and Zhang Zhenyu's speaking styles.
