It takes one hundred experience points to upgrade the Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Technique to a minor level, and three hundred points to upgrade it to a Dacheng level. Now that I have mastered the microdermabrasion method, my energy, blood and stamina have improved. Next, I will change the microdermabrasion from twice in the morning and evening to three times a day. I should be able to bear it. If this is the case, I will be able to walk in about ten days. Enter the great success of skin grinding. Chen Mu thought to himself. Skin polishing is a success! For ordinary people, it would take at least a year of hard work, but he could practice it in less than a month. This kind of progress was unimaginable for ordinary people, but it was just right for him. Now, his apparent strength is that he has not yet practiced the body tempering method, but has only mastered the sword skills. Therefore, it is best to hibernate carefully, accumulate knowledge, and quietly practice the skin grinding to perfection or even enter the training stage. Meat. Just thinking about it. Suddenly the old servant's voice sounded from outside. Master, Master Min is here to visit. coming.
When Chen Mu heard this, he immediately gathered his thoughts, quickly put on his clothes, stood up, and walked to the door. But he saw Min Baoyi standing outside the door in casual clothes. When he saw Chen Mu walking out, he smiled and said, Brother, do you have free time today? Come and have a few drinks with me? Brother invites you, don't you dare not obey. Chen Mu cupped his hands, turned around and gave some instructions to the old servant, then followed Min Baoyi out the door. Min Baoyi didn't have anyone else with him. He walked alone with Chen Mu along the clean and tidy Qingshi Street. As he walked, he twitched his nose slightly and said, I must be practicing microdermabrasion. I was delayed. Brother, are you practicing? Just finished practicing. Chen Mu didn't hide it either. Practicing microdermabrasion was no secret. Min Baoyi smiled and said: The Golden Jade Skin Microdermabrasion Technique is a very good skill. If I could get started with this microdermabrasion technique when I was young, I might be able to reach the realm of 'Easing Tendons' now. It's a pity that I didn't gain the skills until later. Family support.” Yu family? Chen Mu was slightly startled when he heard Min Baoyi's words. Min Baoyi mentioned the Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Technique in one sentence, which shows that his relationship with Xu Hongyu is more than just a simple superior and subordinate, and they are probably Xu Hongyu's confidants. However, Chen Mu has some feelings towards the Yu family mentioned later. Confuse. But then Min Baoyi explained his doubts. Although Mr. Chief Chaosi's surname is Xu, he is a direct descendant of the Yu family... Min Baoyi simply pointed out Xu Hongyu's background. The Yu family in the inner city was very powerful and spread throughout the city. He was able to sit in the position of the police chief because he was supported by the Yu family. After Xu Hongyu became the chief police officer, he was naturally Xu Hongyu. direct lineage. soon. Min Baoyi brought Chen Mu to a restaurant on Zhongjie Street. When the shopkeeper personally received him, he asked for a private room on the second floor. He and Chen Mu went into the private room and sat down together, and then began to talk about the various forces in Yucheng in detail. In the past few days when Chen Mu was serving as the headmaster, although he spent most of his time practicing knife skills and skin grinding, he actually also learned about some of the forces in Yucheng through various aspects, but many parts were relatively vague. , far less clear than Min Baoyi. There are four major families in the inner city, namely the Yu, He, Xie, and Xue families. The city lord's surname is Xue. I don't think I need to say more about this... The other three families, the Xie family controls 99% of the entire Yu City. In the medicinal materials business, everything that warriors need for training basically goes through the hands of their family. The He family monopolizes the iron smelting and cloth business, while the Yu family controls the salt business. Min Baoyi talked eloquently, and it was obvious that these were not secrets to people with a certain status.
Chen Mu had a vague understanding of this news before, but now that he heard it clearly, he was not surprised. For a large city like Yucheng with a population of one million, if he had access to salt, iron, cloth and medicinal materials, he would basically control 99% of it. . As for rice, flour and food... this most important thing is naturally not controlled by one family alone. It is estimated that all four families are involved, just like the Outer City Guards, which is not controlled by a single family. Salt Service... When it came to the salt business, Chen Mu was thoughtful. Unfortunately, he was not a talent in the chemical industry in his previous life, and he had never thought of collecting salt and iron refining methods for 'unexpected needs.' There was no benefit in this aspect. Come on. Min Baoyi only spoke a little bit about the four families in the inner city, and then talked about the City Guards Department. Yucheng has a population of one million, and the four major city guard divisions in the southeast, northwest and northwest total more than 10,000 people. Now basically four families want to take charge of this division and recruit it as their own private soldiers. Therefore, they secretly interact with each other. There is strife. He Mingxuan, the deputy chief police officer of Nancheng District, comes from the He family in the inner city and is at odds with the chief police officer. You should be careful about this person in the city guard department from now on. When Min Baoyi said this, he lowered his voice slightly. When Chen Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly flickered, showing a thoughtful look, and he cupped his hands and said, Thank you, Brother Min, for reminding me. He didn't know this kind of news before. Although he had always vaguely guessed that the City Guard Department was not monolithic, it seemed to be true now. Xu Hongyu did not transfer him directly to the General Department, but let him stay in the Jiutiaoli City Guard Department. Exercise', maybe because you want him to grow more. After all, the Kutiaoli City Guards belongs to Min Baoyi. It can be said that Min Baoyi almost covers the sky with one hand. It is a relatively safe environment for him. Once he arrives at the headquarters, he will be directly involved in the conflict between the two major forces and all kinds of conspiracies. There are so many things going on, and one careless step may lead to disaster. Not only will it be impossible to do things for Xu Hongyu, but it may also become a burden. Min Baoyi saw Chen Mu's solemn expression, so he laughed again, and said to ease the atmosphere: Don't worry too much, the Chief Chaplain is on top of that person after all, and these nine areas are my territory. As long as you are more careful, you can Nothing. The other ones are the 'Red Gold Gang' and the 'Black Crow Sect' in Jiu Tiao. Try not to provoke these two forces. I haven't figured out the people behind the Red Gold Gang for the time being, but they are just those families. As for the Black Crow Sect, …” Speaking of which. Min Baoyi showed a hint of fear and said: This Black Crow Sect seems to be just to confuse some ordinary people to worship some Black Crow God according to its teachings. In fact, it is an opportunity to make money. There is also a very vicious person behind the scenes. Chen Mu knew the two forces of the Red Gold Gang and the Black Crow Sect very well. As a leader, a deputy leader of the Red Gold Gang came to visit him two days ago and gave him a 'housewarming gift'. This housewarming gift was very interesting. It was a gift of money and two people. The two people were the two gangsters who had tried to kidnap Wang Ni earlier and took away his money. They were beaten with bruises on the nose and face and were left there. Chen Mu didn't care about this matter at all. The other party gave him face like this, so he gave the other party a step up, accepted the money, and settled the matter completely, with no further follow-up. As for the Black Crow Cult... Any similar force in a chaotic world is extremely dangerous. It seems that the world is ruled by warriors, and ordinary refugees and rioters cannot cause much trouble even if they form tens or millions of people, but in fact this is not the case. This is the route to amass money through similar forces and then use the money to cultivate elites. In the body tempering method, the two steps of skin grinding and flesh training can basically be piled up if you have the resources. If you don't consider the side effects and physical wear and tear, and use the lowest quality prescription, you can pile it up without needing two hundred taels of silver. A martial arts practitioner. Although the quality of this kind of forcibly piled up existence is extremely poor in all aspects, when there are more of them, it is quite terrible. If there are hundreds of people, equipped with armor or weapons, it is quite terrifying, and there may even be enlightenment among them. A 'powerful' character. Actually. Nowadays, even slightly powerful families secretly cultivate such private soldiers. Except for these two groups, the other three religions and nine streams basically have no background. Don't worry about it. There are no powerful and powerful people worth mentioning here in Kujo. The slightly powerful people basically either moved to the inner city or stayed in the inner city. Over there in the central district of Nancheng District. Min Baoyi briefly talked about the situation in Jiutiao Lane. Understood. Chen Mu nodded slightly.
Min Baoyi picked up the wine cup and drank a glass, and said with a smile: Okay, let me explain it clearly to you. Brother, you can just concentrate on practicing now. If you have two or three years to break through to the realm of meat training, you can be transferred to the chief executive. , I helped Master Xu a lot. As he spoke, Min Baoyi also sighed in his heart. He was a member of the Yu family and had practiced martial arts since he was a child. However, the skill of the sword was stuck in his mind for many years. He could not understand it until he was thirty-four years old. If he could have done it earlier, , getting more attention, maybe it will be different now. Chen Mu, however, had first mastered the sword skills and caught Xu Hongyu's eyes. However, it was a little late to start practicing the body tempering method now, and it took a lot of time. It is estimated that it will take three or four months to achieve a small success in skin polishing. It will be completed in about one year, and will reach perfection in two or three years. Before the age of thirty, it was not difficult to reach his current state. It's just that if you want to go one step further and hit the third level of Yijin, it will be very difficult. One step is slow and the other is slow. A martial arts practitioner who masters the power of a sword is considered a figure in the outer city, but looking at the entire Yu City, he is only considered to be in the middle class. Only when Yi Jin has entered the third level and can exert great power with his movements, can he be considered to have entered the upper class. Every city has power.
