Taoist master wants to ascend

"What a heavy snow!"

As soon as he pushed the door open, wind and snow poured in. Liu Qing couldn't help but shiver and didn't want to go out. Her eyes suddenly turned into awe as she looked into the courtyard.

"call!"

"suck!"

In the falling snow, a hammer head danced in the wind, and Niu Gui swung his arms with great agility.

boom!

After a moment, he let go of the hammer head, but the hammer still fell to the ground. He couldn't help clenching his fists and howling, waking up the other apprentices who had not yet gone out.

"Getting started!"

It was a cold day, but Niu Gui's heart felt hot. Feeling the awe and envy of the other apprentices' eyes, he felt even more comfortable.

"Brother Niu, are you ready?"

"Brother Niu is so awesome! I'm getting started! When can I get started?"

"I'm jealous……"

…

A group of apprentices poured out of the door. Compared with more than four months ago, all of them had changed. They were no worse than the apprentices in the front yard a few months ago. But the one who had changed the most was naturally Niu Gui.

After more than four months of hard training, he finally got started. He is already half a head taller than the other apprentices, and the muscles in his legs and arms are bulging, giving him a sense of strength.

"Niu Gui will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard, don't forget us then!"

Liu Qing complimented.

"That's natural! Niu Gui is not that kind of person to compare with!"

Listening to the compliments of the apprentices, Niu Gui couldn't help but feel a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Fatty Sun's small courtyard not far from the middle courtyard.

"It's been more than two months since I moved out. Is he starting to get started? Probably not. Although he is smart, his brother-in-law didn't teach him breathing techniques, and his family is poor..."

Glancing at the complimenting apprentices around him, Niu Gui suddenly felt bored. These people were destined to have nothing to do with him in the future.

"You guys go to work, Master Sun is getting up soon."

After saying this casually, Niu Gui turned around and left, preparing to go find his brother-in-law. When he approached Fatty Sun's courtyard, something moved in his heart and he couldn't help but look through the crack in the door.

? !

…

It snowed heavily before the New Year, and it only lasted one night. The snow was already deep enough to reach our ankles.

Niu Gui was stunned at first glance but didn't see anyone. After a closer look, he saw a snowman piled up by someone in the courtyard with a sledgehammer in his hand...

"so cold?!"

Niu Gui subconsciously wanted to push the door open, but heard a loud bang.

call!

Then, like a strong wind, a large amount of snow was rolled up and scattered.

In the flying snow, there were black shadows rising and falling, spinning, and flying, but it was a black hammer with a wooden handle. The shadow of the hammer swept out horizontally and made a "woo-woo" sound.

quick!

too fast!

Niu Gui was stunned.

The strong wind that suddenly rolled up a large amount of snow was like someone swinging a hammer at high speed!

Across the snowflakes flying in the courtyard, the person dancing with the hammer was a young man about the same age as him, but half a head taller than him.

In the dead of winter, he was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, but from a distance, he seemed to still be able to see the explosive power under the cotton clothes.

This person is,

"Li Yuan!"

Niu Gui trembled, his eyes flashed with horror.

How can it be? !

Looking blankly at the figure dancing with the hammer, Niu Gui felt that his whole body was cold. This hammer was much better than him.

No, there is no comparison at all!

Even Du Yun and Lu Zhong in the front yard can't do such a hammering technique at all!

boom!

The sledgehammer flew out and hit the snow in front of the courtyard. Niu Gui stumbled and ran away.

"call!"

In the courtyard, Li Yuan breathed out a breath of turbid breath after holding his breath for a long time, blowing away the snow and fog flying in front of him.

"Cool!"

As soon as he pulled back, all the muscles and bones in his body were shaking, making a crackling sound, and the palm he raised was red that was visible to the naked eye.

Mastery, done!

Kaka~

Flexing and stretching his right hand, which was full of blood, Li Yuan felt his whole body feel relaxed.

The White Ape Cloak Hammer only consumes more energy from entry level to Dachengdu. It is simple and crude, but the improvement is very obvious.

He could clearly feel that where the blood flowed, his skin became tougher and his muscles became tight. With gentle flexion and extension, there was an explosive power far beyond what he had before.

The blood energy faded away, and then he flexed and stretched his five fingers. Without the blessing of blood energy, he could still feel his progress.

In more than two months, thanks to the fighting style of Dou Killing Hammer, his White Ape Cloak Hammer has made great progress, and he finally reached proficiency today.

According to the book, this is a progress that can only be achieved by those with superior bones!

And with the blessing of the proficient level hammer method that controls the training hammer, he has also pushed the number of changes in the first line of fighting hammer method to eighteen, which is a huge improvement!

"If I control the training hammer again, I'm afraid it won't be able to improve my hammering skills, but it seems that it can be superimposed... When the two phases are superimposed, wouldn't I be inferior to Xiaosheng?"

The wind and snow were very cold, and Li Yuan's heart was very hot. This feeling of improving himself was an intuitive feeling that he had never experienced in his previous life, and it made him deeply fascinated.

"You owe me twelve taels of silver!"

A sudden word broke the joy in Li Yuan's heart.

"Where are there twelve taels? Why do I remember only seven taels?"

Li Yuan turned around with a wry smile. Fatty Sun was leaning against the door and looking at him. He coldly and ruthlessly told him how much money he owed and how many medicinal herbs he had taken these days.

However, from the long-extinguished cigarette pot and the trembling of the fat on his face, Li Yuan could tell that Master Sun was actually very shocked.

In fact, if not for this, he would not have been able to borrow money from this stingy boss.

At least it is impossible to stack up from the first two taels to the current twelve taels...

"Nine outs and thirteen returns. This is the industry price. You ask everywhere, did I count an extra point? What a shame you said you would pay me back double the amount!"

Fatty Sun took two puffs of his cigarette before he realized that the fire was out. He cursed a few times and had a look of pain on his face.

Two months ago, when Li Yuan 'showed' his astonishing talent in hammering and asked him to borrow money, he refused. He only lent him two coins several times.

After that, the amount of one-money and two-money coins actually accumulated to twelve taels?

‘My money! ’

This is called the sunk cost effect.

One or two pieces of silver was nothing to Fatty Sun, so he only agreed to it after he showed off his talent and promised to pay back double the money.

But after the first time, there will be a second time... Over and over again, it adds up to twelve taels.

The most important thing is naturally because of his amazing progress in hammering skills...

Li Yuan changed the topic and asked:

"By the way, Master, do you know what happened in the city a few days ago? It sounds like there was a lot of noise?"

"I used to ask for leave every now and then, but now I don't go out once for more than two months. I'm really as timid as a mouse..."

Fatty Sun glanced at him angrily.

"Who can not be afraid of such a murderous person who is still on the loose?"

Li Yuan shrugged.

"Don't be afraid anymore."

Fatty Sun shook his head helplessly, already used to his temper:

"The night before yesterday, the big shopkeeper hosted a banquet for the owner Wang Luan of the Lihe Martial Arts School. When the wine was over, someone burst out in front of our shop. The owner Wang was almost killed in one blow. The big shopkeeper took action in anger and captured the murderer. Just got sent to jail."

"The boss caught the murderer?"

Li Yuan was startled and felt relieved. Although he had excellent martial arts skills, he didn't want to be targeted by the murderous maniac.

However, the fact that this happened at the door of the blacksmith's shop still made him feel a little chilly. This guy must have come to find him...

"It's just a coincidence that the big shopkeeper hasn't been out for a few months at least, but that day he decided to invite the owner of Wang Luan to a banquet..."

Fatty Sun looked a little strange:

"The big shopkeeper took action in time. Master Wang is okay, but his disciples are really..."

Fatty Sun shook his head with a "tsk, tsk" expression of regret.

After understanding the cause and effect, Li Yuan finally felt at ease. As soon as the conversation changed, it changed back again:

"I still have to go to the trouble of taking care of myself..."

"Um?"

Fatty Sun's face darkened:

"No borrowing!"

"The money my second brother borrowed is all in your hands. I don't ask who you can borrow it from?"

Li Yuan rubbed his hands. It was really cold today.

"……I bother!"

Fatty Sun's face turned even darker, and he rolled his sleeves to leave.

Li Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed his sleeve:

"Disciple promises this is the last time, really the last time!"
