An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Unparalleled footwork!

Four big characters were written in the middle of the book, which immediately attracted Xu Fu.

"Is this... a secret book?" Xu Fu swallowed, and his heart seemed to be tugged by something.

When Xu Fu was six years old, an old man came to the village and told stories at the end of the village every evening for half a month. Xu Fu went there early every day to wait, and he always listened to every word. From then on, Xu Fu often imagined that he would one day meet a peerless master and pass on his lifelong skills to him just like in the book. , or pick up the most powerful secret book, and after practicing it, you can travel around the world, act chivalrous and righteous, and be invincible.

It's a pity that Xu Fu knew that his family was poor, so he was able to go to a private school to study and read because the teacher at the private school understood that it was not easy for his grandma, so he only received a little food as tuition fees. Xu Fu didn't even dare to think about learning martial arts. But Xu Fu also knew that even if he had money, he would have nowhere to learn. Only Huang Youcai in the whole village could afford a martial arts master. Huang Dafu only practiced for two days before pretending to be ill and refusing to practice anymore. This made Xu Fulian learn secretly. No chance.

If no one teaches you, just create it yourself. Anyway, all the tricks in the world are created by people. Xu Fu thought about it when he had nothing to do. After he figured it out, he went to the children in the same village to "spar" with him. After the fight, he came back to continue thinking about it. Finally, he wrote it down, and this was how he came up with the Cow Killing Boxing.

But when he discovered that the trick he had worked so hard to create could only tickle a cow, Xu Fu was very frustrated, and he gradually lost interest in practicing martial arts. But now that this secret book is placed in front of Xu Fu, it seems to have rekindled an ember that was about to be extinguished in Xu Fu's heart.

Xu Fu took a deep breath, took the secret book very carefully, put it in the palm of his hand and opened it. There was a page of text and a page of pictures. It contained both the cultivation method and the exercise route. Even a layman like Xu Fu could understand it. clear.

"The footwork in the world leads to the same goal through different paths. Internal cultivation is in the body and external transformation is in the shape. Those who are full of spirit and energy can run hundreds of miles without getting tired..."

Xu Fu was immersed in it as soon as he opened it, completely forgetting that Zhu Ping was still kneeling beside him. Zhu Ping didn't dare to disturb him when he saw this. After a while, he couldn't bear the kneeling anymore. He moved his legs slightly and made a little noise, and then pulled Xu Fu out of the secret book.

"Get up." Xu Fu closed the secret book and said calmly.

Thinking about what was written in this secret book, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh slightly. According to the secret book, if this Juechen footwork is to be performed, it must be based on spiritual power. The more spiritual power, the faster the footwork. However, he has never practiced it, so he has no spiritual power.

"Where did you get this secret book? How are you practicing?" Xu Fu asked with a cold face as he looked at the leader of the Hundred Horse Gang who was hunched over in fear.

"My hero, this secret book actually fell out of Wang Liu's body last year when he was drunk." Seeing Xu Fu's unkind expression, Zhu Ping hurriedly knelt down again and said carefully: "I, I wanted to practice this step. I sneaked down the mountain, but I can’t run fast even after practicing again and again. Could it be that this secret book is fake?”

At this point, Zhu Ping suddenly collapsed on the ground. He suddenly realized that if the secret book was fake as he said, then his only bargaining chip would be lost, and the end could be imagined.

"Have you practiced before?" Xu Fu asked.

"No."

Sure enough, he was right. Xu Fu looked at the secret book and sighed. Without spiritual support, this footwork was just in vain.

"Take me to Wang Liu." Xu Fu thought for a moment and said. Since this step was obtained from Wang Liu, he might also have secrets on how to cultivate spiritual power.

"Yes." Zhu Ping looked a little embarrassed, but he still agreed. He slowly stood up and limped to lead the way.

After walking a few dozen feet, they turned a corner and an exquisite mansion appeared in front of them. Neat wooden fences surround the house. Many flowers and trees are planted in the yard, which smells pleasant. A path paved with white stones leads to the front of the house and extends to the entrance of the yard, which looks very elegant. In addition to a large wooden house in the middle of the courtyard, there are also two cabins on each side. They are also very exquisite and elegant, and no one can imagine that this is the residence of a horse thief.

After asking Zhu Ping, I found out that this was built by Wang Liu under the guise of the gang leader's order. Later, he found an excuse and asked Zhu Ping to reward him in public. Zhu Ping didn't dare to say "no", so this place became Wang Liu's private residence. The side rooms on both sides were actually where Wang Liu kept his wives and concubines!

"You are a bunch of horse thieves and you have three wives and four concubines?" Xu Fu thought with his toes and knew that those wives and concubines were all women captured from the mountains, and he looked at Zhu Ping with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"No, no, only Wang Liu is being served on this mountain, and no one else is." Zhu Ping explained hurriedly.

"I heard from Wang Liu that you want to take the eldest lady of the Ji family as your concubine."

"It's nothing. This is all Wang Liu using me as a cover. He said the same thing when he robbed several girls before. In the end, he kept them in his room. When he got tired of it, he put them in sacks and had them thrown down the mountain. No matter life or death, he has ruined so many girls from good families over the years." Zhu Ping became more angry as he spoke, and it didn't sound like he was pretending. It seemed that he had accumulated a lot of resentment over the years.

"You, the gang leader, are really..." Xu Fu muttered, and then entered the courtyard. Xu Fu looked down on Zhu Ping, the gang leader, for being so useless, and was too lazy to listen to what he had to say. He listened intently as he walked, but didn't listen. To some movement.

Xu Fu first entered the main room. The door was unlocked and the room was a bit messy. There were many things scattered on the ground, including two pieces of silver. It seems that Wang Liu is much smarter than Zhu Ping, and he has run away when he sees that the situation is wrong.

Xu Fu picked up the silver and looked around the room again. Not to mention the secret book, there was not even a page. Xu Fu sat down on the chair in the middle with some frustration.

"what?"

As soon as Xu Fu sat down, he felt a little awkward under his buttocks. The chair was covered with soft cushions, and something was clearly rubbing against his buttocks under the cushions. Xu Fu stood up and lifted the cushion, only to see a book lying quietly in the middle of the chair.

The four characters "Danyuan Baoyu" caught Xu Fu's eyes.

"What book is this?"

Xu Fu picked up the book with a strange name, flipped through a few pages and found that it was actually a book about alchemy.

Xu Fu didn't understand why Wang Liu would put the book here. Did he forget to bring it with him when he left in a hurry, or was it irrelevant and just left it here casually.

Xu Fu didn't have time to look carefully at this time. Just when he was about to put it in his arms, he saw a page falling from the book. This page was made of different material than the book page, and seemed to be torn from another book.

Xu Fu picked it up and glanced at it, "Strengthening Pill, a fourth-grade elixir, one coin of wild ginseng, three coins of Atractylodes macrocephala, one coin of Eucommia ulmoides, six coins of yam..., put it in the elixir furnace at an interval of two breaths, and simmer for thirty Six breaths, a quarter of an hour of martial fire, it can be turned into a pill, and taking it can strengthen the body, increase muscles and fill up deficiencies."

This is obviously a recipe for elixir, which requires more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials in total. Xu Fu has never heard of many medicinal materials, but the last sentence "increase muscles and fill deficiencies" really made Xu Fu's mind move.

When Xu Fu was herding cattle in the Huang family, he was hungry almost every day, and he was growing taller. Although he was about the same height as his peers, he didn't have much meat on his body. This makes Xu Fu envious every time he sees strong people, and hopes that one day he can be like them. After all, it is much better to rely on strength to eat than to herd cattle. But now, although Xu Fu still looks thin, his strength is It's great, and I don't care about getting stronger anymore.

"If you can really refine it, you can give it to the dog eggs." Xu Fu still missed the silly little brother in his heart, and he didn't know if Huang Dafu would bully him again after he left.

Putting the book and the prescription into his arms, Xu Fu raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was getting late and the sun was about to set.

"Do you know the way down the mountain?" Xu Fu asked.

This Zhu Ping was quite honest, Xu Fu didn't say anything, he just stood there honestly, like a maid serving others.

"I...I know." Zhu Ping replied cautiously.

"It's late today. Let's go down the mountain tomorrow. Can you cook?" Xu Fu asked again.

"I know how to cook, tomorrow..." Zhu Ping looked at Xu Fu expectantly.

"When we get down the mountain tomorrow, you can go wherever you like." Xu Fu no longer wanted to catch this man to collect the reward, and looked at the pitiful look and said with a bitter smile.

"Thank you, hero. Thank you, hero. I'll cook right now." Zhu Ping left the house happily.

"Hero?" Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on a large and comfortable chair, and thought about the title carefully.

It didn't take long for Zhu Ping to bring back some steamed buns and cooked food. Xu Fu ate some at will and fell asleep on Wang Liu's bed. After experiencing so many things this day, it was indeed a bit troublesome, and he slept deeply.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Fu woke up to the sound of birdsong. He stretched out beautifully. There was a crisp sound all over his body. Two buttons of his clothes suddenly popped open. Xu Fu twisted his body and stood up and made some gestures. , I feel like I have grown a little taller, and the old clothes on my body really don’t fit.

Xu Fu suddenly remembered that he found a lot of clothes in Wang Liu's closet yesterday, so he hurried over to find a pair and changed them. Xu Fu is thin and looks a bit bulky in Wang Liu's clothes, but fortunately the fabric is comfortable and much better than the one he wore before.

Xu Fu found another pair of boots to replace his rag shoes. The size was surprisingly suitable. Xu Fu was in a good mood. He carefully put the two books on his body and strode out the door.

"Zhu Ping? Zhu Ping? Zhu Sandao? Zhu Guangzhu?..." Xu Fu shouted several times, but no one responded, but the echo in the mountains startled many birds in the mountains.

"Where have you gone?" Xu Fu pondered and looked around.

"Zhu Sandao, this girl is here!" As soon as he found the main hall, he heard a shout coming from the mountain pass, and then a girl wearing bright red clothes appeared in Xu Fu's eyes.

"It's you!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Sure enough, it's you!" The woman in red was none other than Ji Qingrou, the eldest daughter of the Ji family. When she saw Xu Fu, she gritted her teeth.

"What are you doing here at Horseshoe Mountain?" Xu Fu was even more surprised than Ji Qingrou. This is the home of horse thieves. Not to mention a young woman, even a strong martial artist may not have such courage.

"You are indeed a horse thief! Don't you know what I'm here for? Of course I'm here to be your gang leader's wife!" Ji Qingrou snorted coldly, regretting not giving him a few more whips that night.

Xu Fu suddenly remembered Wang Liu's words before going up the mountain. He didn't expect Ji Jian to be so disrespectful of his flesh and blood and send his daughter to the mountain.

"Where is your gang leader? Tell him to come out." Ji Qingrou said with a cold face. She heard that the leader of the Horse Thieves Gang was marrying her. She was a little confused at first, but she quickly figured it out. Without saying goodbye to her parents and brothers, Ji Qingrou took advantage of the darkness to ride her horse to Horseshoe Mountain alone. The reason for doing this is only clear to her. Firstly, she naturally does not want to embarrass her father and brother. Secondly, she still has a trace of fantasy in her heart. If this mysterious leader of the Hundred Horse Gang is a handsome and stalwart strange man, it will not be in vain for her to serve him. thief.

"Gang leader?" Xu Fu was stunned, and then replied with a wry smile: "As of now, I am the gang leader."

Now the gang leader and stewards on the mountain are missing, and the remaining people have been kidnapped and are being sent away for reward. Xu Fu thought that since he was introduced to the Hundred Horse Gang by Wang Liu, he would probably be the only one to take the position of gang leader on the mountain. .

"You... are talking nonsense!" Ji Qingrou looked at Xu Fu's playful smile and shouted angrily. She would not listen to Xu Fu's nonsense. The thin young man in front of her looked like he had no strength to tie a chicken, and he was chained up. In Shisuo, it is enough to say that he is a beggar. How could he be the leader of the notorious Hundred Horse Gang?

But before Ji Qingrou could scold her again, a group of people in the open space not far away startled her. These people were all tied up with hemp ropes and had hemp kernels stuffed into their mouths. They looked at the two of them in horror.

"These people are... horse thieves?" Ji Qingrou felt incredible, but looking at their costumes, they were exactly the same as the rumored horse thieves.

Suddenly, a very subtle sound of sand grains rubbing against each other reached Xu Fu's ears, coming from the entrance to the mountain.

"Could it be Wang Liu?" Xu Fu thought, quietly picked up the iron chain, held the stone lock, and squatted aside, preparing for a sneak attack. According to Zhu Ping, Wang Liu had practiced martial arts and had the highest martial arts skills in the entire Matishan Mountain.

After a few breaths, he stepped forward cautiously with one foot first. Xu Fu, who had been impatient for a long time, jumped over and hit the man with a stone lock.

"what?"

As soon as Xu Fu took action, he realized that it was Ji Changhe who had sneaked up the mountain, and he couldn't help but scream. Fortunately, Xu Fu reacted very quickly. He grabbed the chain and pulled the stone lock back, but the force was a bit fierce. When the stone lock was pulled back, it hit him on the chest, causing a burst of blood.

"Brother Xu, are you okay? Why are you here?" Seeing that Xu Fu was injured, Ji Changhe hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice with some confusion, looking very cautious. He knew that Xu Fu was captured on Horseshoe Mountain, but for some reason he was able to walk freely on the mountain, which puzzled Ji Changhe.

"Could it be..." Ji Changhe is also a smart man. He immediately thought of a possibility and turned pale in an instant. When he learned that his sister had sneaked away to Horseshoe Mountain, he understood what his sister was thinking. As the eldest brother, Ji Changhe must not just watch. My sister suffered such humiliation, so she took a few cronies and sneaked into Horseshoe Mountain secretly in an attempt to rescue her.

"elder brother?"

A clear and melodious cry startled Ji Changhe. Ji Changhe saw his sister running over from the side in a panic, followed by a group of horse thieves lying on the ground.

"What... is going on?" The scene in front of Ji Changhe was no less than earth shattering in his eyes, and he refused to believe his eyes for a moment.

"How much can these horse thieves be exchanged for?" Xu Fu looked at Ji Changhe and asked with some anticipation.
