At Fu Ji Money House in Linhe County, Zhang Yuan exchanged another silver note. Because of the previous experience, he exchanged the fifty-liang note directly this time. The process was also smooth and there were no problems. But Zhang Yuan did not think that his previous caution was wrong. The principle of "better safe than sorry" is applicable to all realms. Then he made a big purchase in the county. Zhang Yuan felt that he had never fought such a rich battle since he awakened his memories of his previous life. He first went to a clinic and a drugstore to buy a batch of medicinal materials. In addition to the tonic medicine for his mother, these medicinal materials are mainly the medicinal soup recipes recorded on the last page of "Panshi Zhuanggong". According to the records in this secret book, while learning "Panshi Zhuanggong", insisting on using the matching medicinal soup to assist in cultivation can not only achieve twice the result with half the effort, but also prevent the occurrence of qi and blood deficiency. "Panshi Zhuanggong" belongs to the entry-strength exercise method, which is mainly used to refine the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood and marrow, and has a high degree of pressure on the body.
Therefore, soaking in the medicinal soup is essential. However, the high price of the medicine prepared according to this prescription also made Zhang Yuan secretly heartbroken. He therefore deeply realized the true meaning of "poor in literature and rich in martial arts"! After buying the medicine, Zhang Yuan then bought some rice and grains, as well as miscellaneous items he needed. He filled the bamboo basket he carried with him. After the purchase, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to return to Chenjia Village. He came to a dental shop in the city. He asked the dental man about the matters of settling in Linhe County. Although Zhang Yuan's life in Chenjia Village was originally hard, he lived a very peaceful life without too many twists and turns. But the appearance of Chen Yuanwai changed everything. As early as when he was blackmailed by Zhangtou Shiye in the name of corvée, he had the idea of leaving the mountain village. It was just that he had to endure it because of his lack of strength at that time. Now Zhang Yuan has some capital and confidence. The idea of moving to the county town emerged again, and it became stronger and stronger. Compared with the remote Chenjia Village, Linhe County is not a friendly place, and the environment is more complicated. But it is better to make a living among tens of thousands of people than to be targeted in the village all day long. The Chen family must have had a compelling reason to move from the city to the countryside. If Zhang Yuan ran to the city, would the Chen family still come to cause trouble? The possibility is not high.
In fact, Zhang Yuan himself is not afraid of the Chen family, and even killed one of the other party's guards. But Zhang Yuan is afraid of implicating his mother. In this world, Zhang's mother is Zhang Yuan's only relative, and he can't tolerate the former being hurt even a little bit! So Zhang Yuan decided to move. However, things are not that simple. The dentist in the dentistry told Zhang Yuan. Outsiders, including villagers, who want to settle in Linhe County, need to meet conditions. First of all, you have to have a house in the city, and you can't rent it. It must be your own property. This has led to the fact that houses in the county have always been in great demand, and the cheapest one has to cost dozens of taels of silver. The kind of bungalows with earthen bricks and gray tiles. As for the expensive and good ones, there are hundreds or thousands of taels everywhere, not to mention the big mansions. Zhang Yuan definitely can't afford it. In fact, even the cheapest house, he can't afford it at present. Secondly, the settler must be a good citizen, and someone needs to be a guarantor! This is actually very easy to solve. The yahang provides guarantee services. As long as you pay money, it can be done properly. Finally, to settle down and become a citizen, you need to pay a fee of ten taels per person to the government office. In addition, the residents of Linhe must pay a head tax of three taels per person every year. If they can't pay it, their properties will be confiscated and sold to pay it off, and then they will be expelled from the city! Zhang Yuan was speechless after hearing this. No wonder he often heard that "it's not easy to live in the city". Such a high cost is really not something that poor people can afford. In fact, many people live in villages and towns around the county town, and life is easier. But there are many benefits to living in the city. There is a city god temple in the county town, which can resist most of the weird invasions and protect the safety of residents. You have to know that mountain villages like Chenjia Village, although they are protected by ancestral halls, have been mysteriously destroyed for thousands of years, and there have been cases where no one survived in the village. The county town is much safer. In addition, residents in the city do not need to perform corvée labor, which is equivalent to using the head tax to directly compensate. Zhang Yuan did a simple calculation. If he and his mother want to move to Linhe County to live, they need to prepare at least 120 taels of silver.
The more the better. At present, he has less than 30 taels of silver, including the last silver note. It is too expensive to buy soup recipes and medicinal materials. And future cultivation will be a huge and amazing expense! Where can I find these silver taels? With a heavy heart, Zhang Yuan left the county town and returned to Chenjia Village. That night, Zhang Yuan used the medicinal materials purchased during the day to boil a large pot of liquid medicine. Then he poured the liquid medicine into the wooden barrel that had been prepared long ago, and added a lot of hot water to dilute it. These preparations are actually quite troublesome. But in order to successfully practice the "Rock Pillar Skill", he also tried his best! After the medicinal soup was prepared, Zhang Yuan took off all his clothes and immersed himself in the wooden barrel. He couldn't help but take a deep breath of the hot air full of medicinal fragrance. The next moment, Zhang Yuan felt that every inch of his skin seemed to be pierced by countless fine needles. The strong medicinal power penetrated his skin pores, quickly spread in his muscles and bones, and penetrated into his internal organs. For a time, soreness, pain, numbness, itching, and many strange and stimulating feelings engulfed Zhang Yuan. It made people want to jump out of the bathtub immediately. But how could Zhang Yuan, who paid a high price, waste the medicinal materials he bought at a high price in vain! He concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, allowing the medicinal power to rage in his body and endured it. He didn't even hum. It wasn't until the hot water in the wooden barrel gradually became warmer that Zhang Yuan absorbed most of the medicinal power of the soup recipe. It felt very comfortable, as if he had experienced a process of bone-cutting and marrow-washing, and the whole person was light. Zhang Yuan subconsciously opened the Shenchao panel. [Host: Zhang Yuan] [God's Nest: Level 1 (30%)] [Parent: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (16%)/4 times Strength] [Parent: Level 1 Jade Mantis (2%)/Primary Sword Skills Mastery] [Qi and Blood: 85/85] [Source Quality: 0]
At first glance, Zhang Yuan thought he was seeing things, but then he looked at it again and was sure that he was not mistaken! His Qi and Blood value actually soared from 75 points to 85 points, an increase of 10 points in one fell swoop. And now it is still full of Qi and Blood. The effect of this prescription is too exaggerated, right? Zhang Yuan couldn't imagine how much Qi and Blood limit he could increase if he continued to soak like this for many years! But he quickly regained his composure. It must be the first time that the effect was so good. You know, the human body is resistant to drugs, and the Qi and Blood value increased by the medicinal bath alone will definitely become less and less in the future. Until it is completely gone. Despite this, Zhang Yuan was very satisfied. This made him look forward to the effect of practicing "Rock Posture" even more!
