Chapter 110: Shaolin Ultimate Technique Nianhua Finger; Fine Horses Delivered

When the Glass Factory was being built, Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not forget to have a room built for himself.

Spending his own family's money, Zhu Gaoxu had never been stingy on this point.

Although it was not certain how long he would stay, or even if he would ever stay there once.

But Zhu Gaoxu still spent a large sum of money to make his dormitory very comfortable.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhu Gaoxu took out the Nianhua Finger, one of the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques, from his Storage Space.

The corpse of the strange person in the Storage Space had long since been buried by Zhu Gaoxu at a location outside the city.

At this moment, there was only the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques in Zhu Gaoxu's Storage Space.

And the reason he made up his mind to look at this thing was that he felt his body had been a bit different these past two days.

Zhu Gaoxu always felt there was a surge of Qi inside his body, constantly rampaging about in a restless manner.

Sometimes, there was even a faint pain within his body.

Zhu Gaoxu strongly suspected that it was the internal energy in his body playing tricks.

Analyzing it according to his meager experience with martial arts, he felt that his internal energy was becoming increasingly vast, like a volcano about to erupt.

It was in urgent need of release.

If he didn't release it in time, something major might happen to his body when the volcano erupted.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a reliable martial artist around him to discuss this with right now.

He reckoned that Zhu Yuanzhang must know some people with high-level Martial Arts, but Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was firm; he didn't want him to get involved with the pugilistic world, so asking Lao Zhu was definitely out of the question.

Therefore, the only thing he could rely on now was to explore it himself.

Practicing according to the book, there shouldn't be any problems, right...

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu flipped open the first page of the Nianhua Finger, and a line of large characters immediately caught his eyes.

The Buddha holds a flower, Kasyapa smiles...

Next, Zhu Gaoxu followed what was written in the book, settled his Qi into his dantian, and began to practice.

In the initial stage of training, one must first practice empty-handed.

Focus the mind on the Lower Dantian; once the Lower Dantian is warm and full of Qi, use the mind to concentrate the strength of the whole body onto the first joints of the thumb, index, and middle fingers of the hand...

Unknowingly, the Qi within Zhu Gaoxu's body began to move along with it.

With the addition of this Qi, Zhu Gaoxu became increasingly immersed in it.

It was as if he had been suppressed for a long time and finally found release, leaving Zhu Gaoxu unable to extricate himself.

Unknowingly, every movement of Zhu Gaoxu seemed to emit a sonic boom, yet Zhu Gaoxu himself was completely unaware and continued to practice according to what was written in the book.

I don't know how much time passed, but the sky had long since turned pitch black; Zhu Gaoxu suddenly plopped onto the ground, his whole body as if soaked in water, panting heavily.

Exhilarating!

Even though his whole body felt as if it had been hollowed out, Zhu Gaoxu still used these four words to express his feelings.

It was truly satisfying!

Lying on the ground, Zhu Gaoxu had no strength left in his body at this moment; even wanting to move a finger felt like it would require all his effort.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu simply stopped moving, closed his eyes, and fell straight asleep.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu finally woke up.

The feeling of powerlessness from yesterday had disappeared, and Zhu Gaoxu even felt his body was a notch stronger.

Suddenly slapping his forehead, Zhu Gaoxu remembered the glass that was still being manufactured yesterday and immediately got up and ran out.

Arriving at the glass workshop, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that the servants had long since extinguished the fire in the Melting Kiln according to his instructions.

Ordering the kiln to be opened, as the servants took out the trays inside, pieces of crystalline substance caught his eyes.

It was a success!

Zhu Gaoxu could never have imagined that the first experiment would be a success.

It must be said that the Heavens were still looking after him.

The next steps were easy to talk about: heat these crystalline substances, reach the melting point, pour them into molds, and finally let them cool to become glass products.

This thing basically had no technical difficulty; anyone could do it.

One of the workshops was specifically for this.

After a simple division of labor, he let these servants officially start working.

Zhu Gaoxu ate a meal at the glass factory and then returned to the Military Camp.

At this time, the soldiers had clearly just finished their morning exercises; looking at the increasingly empty Military Camp, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly thought of something.

He had been so busy with the Glass Factory lately that he had forgotten that the old fox Hu Weiyong still owed him two thousand fine horses.

With horses, he could train the soldiers in mounted combat and increase the training subjects.

This matter could not be delayed.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu prepared to go into the city to find Hu Weiyong.

But just at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly heard a faint sound of horses neighing.

They were here?

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu sprinted to the entrance of the Military Camp, and sure enough, from far away, he saw a group of horses rushing toward this place.

Although it was a few days late, Hu Weiyong still did not break his word and delivered the two thousand warhorses to Zhu Gaoxu's Military Camp.

One could imagine that Hu Weiyong must have gone through a lot of trouble for this.

Both were smart people; even if it was just a verbal agreement, both sides maintained their bottom line and did not renege on the debt.

Of course, there were also two main reasons for this.

First, Zhu Gaoxu's status was there; he was, after all, a member of the royal family, so even if Hu Weiyong was the current Prime Minister, he could not be easily toyed with.

Second, of course, was that Lao Zhu already knew about this matter; if Hu Weiyong dared to renege, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely make a scene, and by then, it wouldn't be something that could be resolved with just two thousand fine horses.
