Chapter 15 Drastic Changes! (Thanks to the Leader, the Immortal Qi Tian)

"What a heavy snow!"

When the door was pushed open, the wind and snow poured in. Liu Qing couldn't help but shiver. He didn't want to go out, and his eyes looking at the courtyard suddenly became awed.

"Huh!"

"Suck!"

In the drifting snow, a hammer head danced in the wind, and Niu Gui swung his arms, very flexible.

Bang!

After a moment, he let go of the hammer head, and the hammer fell to the ground. He couldn't help but clenched his fist and howled, waking up the other apprentices who hadn't gone out yet.

"I've entered the door!"

It was cold, but Niu Gui's heart was boiling. Feeling the awe and envy of other apprentices, he felt more comfortable.

"Brother Niu, have you entered the door?"

"Brother Niu is so amazing! Entered the door! When can I enter the door?"

"I'm so envious..."

...

A group of apprentices rushed out of the door. Compared with more than four months ago, they all changed, no worse than the apprentices in the front yard a few months ago, but the biggest change was naturally Niu Gui.

After more than four months of hard training, he finally got into the inner courtyard. He was already half a head taller than the other apprentices, and the muscles of his legs and arms were bulging, full of strength.

"Niu Gui will definitely be able to enter the inner courtyard. Don't forget us when the time comes!"

Liu Qing complimented.

"Of course! Niu Gui is not that kind of person!"

Listening to the flattery of the apprentices, Niu Gui's heart was overshadowed, and he couldn't help but look at the small courtyard of Fatty Sun not far from the middle courtyard.

"It's been more than two months since he moved out. He won't get into the inner courtyard, right? Probably not. Although he is smart, his brother-in-law didn't teach him the breathing method, and his family is poor..."

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

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

After a casual reply, Niu Gui turned around and left, ready to look for his brother-in-law. When he was near Fatty Sun's courtyard, he felt moved and couldn't help looking through the crack of the door.

? !

…

The snow before the New Year was heavy. In just one night, the snow was deep enough to cover ankles.

Niu Gui didn’t see anyone at first glance. After a closer look, he saw a snowman made by someone in the yard with a sledgehammer in his hand…

“Frozen to death?!”

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

Whoosh!

Then, it seemed as if a strong wind suddenly blew up, and a large piece of snow was rolled up and scattered.

In the flying snow, a black shadow rose and fell, rotated, and danced. It was a black hammer with a wooden handle. The hammer shadow swept out and made a ‘woohoo’ sound.

Fast!

Too fast!

Niu Gui was dumbfounded.

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

Across the flying snowflakes in the yard, the person dancing with the hammer was a boy who was about the same age as him, but half a head taller than him.

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

This person is,

"Li Yuan!"

Niu Gui trembled, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

How is it possible? !

Staring blankly at the figure dancing with the hammer, Niu Gui felt cold all over. This hammer was much better than his.

No, there is no comparison at all!

Even Du Yun and Lu Zhong in the front yard could not play such a hammer!

Bang!

The hammer flew out and hit the snow in front of the courtyard gate. Niu Gui staggered and fled.

"Huh!"

In the courtyard, Li Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air that he had held for a long time, blowing away the snow mist in front of him.

"Cool!"

When he finished, his muscles and bones were shaking, making a 'crackling' sound, and his raised palm was red.

Mastery, done!

Kaka~

Li Yuan felt comfortable all over as he stretched his right hand, which was full of blood and energy.

From the beginning to the advanced stage, the White Ape Cloak Hammer only consumed and increased blood and energy. It was simple and crude, but the improvement was very obvious.

He could clearly feel that where the blood and energy flowed, his skin became resilient and his muscles became firm. When he stretched and bent his fingers slightly, he had an explosive force far beyond the previous one.

After losing the blood and energy and stretching his five fingers again, he could still feel his progress without the blood and energy.

In more than two months, thanks to the fighting method of the Military Dao Fighting Hammer, his White Ape Cloak Hammer made great progress and finally entered the stage of mastery today.

According to the book, this is the progress that only the best bones can achieve!

And with the blessing of the mastery-level hammer method of the Palm Control Training Hammer, he has also pushed the first route of the Fighting Hammer method to eighteen changes, which is a great progress!

"If I control the training hammer again, I'm afraid it won't improve my hammer skills, but it seems that it can be superimposed... With the superposition of the two, wouldn't I be inferior to Xiaocheng?"

The wind and snow were cold, but Li Yuan's heart was warm. This feeling of improving himself was something he had never experienced in his previous life, and it made him deeply intoxicated.

"You owe me twelve taels of silver!"

The sudden words broke the joy in Li Yuan's heart.

"How can there be twelve taels? How come I only remember seven taels?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and looked back. Fatty Sun was leaning against the door and looking at him, telling him coldly how much money he owed and how much medicinal herbs he had eaten these days.

However, from the long-extinguished pipe and the shaking fat on his face, Li Yuan could see that this chef Sun was actually very shocked.

In fact, if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to borrow money from this stingy chef.

At least it is impossible to accumulate from the first two cents to the current twelve taels...

"Nine out and thirteen back, this is the industry price, you ask around, did I overcharge even a cent? You said you would pay me back double at that time!"

Fatty Sun took two puffs of his cigarette before he realized that the fire was out. He cursed a few words, his face hurt.

Two months ago, when Li Yuan "showed" his amazing talent for hammering and asked him to borrow money, he refused. He only lent him two cents of silver after several attempts.

After that, one cent and two cents, it actually accumulated to twelve taels?

'My money! '

This is called the sunk cost effect.

One or two cents of silver is not a lot of money for Fatty Sun. He only agreed to it when he showed his talent and promised to pay back double.

But after the first time, there was a second time... Over and over again, it accumulated to twelve taels.

The most important thing is, of course, because of his amazing progress in hammering...

Li Yuan changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, chef, do you know what happened in the city a few days ago? It sounded like a big noise?"

"Before, I asked for leave every few days, and now I don't go out for more than two months. I'm really as timid as a mouse..."

Fatty Sun glanced at him unhappily.

"Such a murderer is still at large. Who can't be afraid?"

Li Yuan shrugged.

"Don't be afraid in the future."

Fatty Sun shook his head helplessly. He had long been accustomed to his temper:

"The night before yesterday, the big shopkeeper entertained Wang Luan, the owner of Lihe Martial Arts Hall. When the wine was over, someone rushed out at the door of our shop. Wang was almost killed. The big shopkeeper was furious and took action. The murderer was just put in prison."

"Did the big shopkeeper catch the murderer?"

Li Yuan was stunned and relieved. Although he had obtained superior martial arts, he didn't want to be targeted by a murderer.

However, this happened at the door of the forging shop, which still made him feel a little cold. This guy must have come to find him...

"It's just a coincidence. The shopkeeper hasn't been out for at least a few months. On that day, he decided to invite Master Wang Luan to a banquet..."

Fatty Sun looked a little strange:

"The shopkeeper acted in time. Master Wang is fine, but his disciples are really..."

Fatty Sun shook his head and expressed regret.

After understanding the cause and effect, Li Yuan finally felt relieved. He changed the subject and turned back:

"I have to trouble the chef..."

"Hmm?"

Fatty Sun's face darkened:

"No!"

"My second brother has put all the money he borrowed into your hands. Who can I borrow from if I don't ask you?"

Li Yuan rubbed his hands. It was really cold.

"... Bah!"

Fatty Sun's face darkened and he was about to leave.

Li Yuan was quick and grabbed his sleeves:

"Disciple promises to be the last time, really the last time!"
