Chapter 3: A Small Cheat

With Su Fan's new orders constantly being issued, not only the Su family's manor but also the villages near the Su family's manor became busy. Especially the main village where the Su family's manor is located, it is even busier. This village has only a hundred households, but half of the people are the Su family's tenant farmers.

Su Fan's first order was the implementation of farming techniques. These tenant farmers actually knew about it long ago, and they eagerly followed the old farmers of the Su family to learn.

The rest of the villagers naturally also hoped to learn. Su Fan treated everyone equally in this regard.

The Su family is an outsider. This manor of the Su family was built by Su Fan's grandfather twenty years ago. As outsiders, because they have implemented low rent for these years, they have gained the gratitude of the village and nearby villages.

Su Fan naturally had no reason to stop such a strategy. After all, he understands that in this era, the power of the village clan is not small. The imperial power does not reach the countryside. He also hopes to get this invisible power.

In fact, over the years, most of the power in the villages near Su Zhuang has been controlled by the Su family. Although several village clans also have clan elders, the Su family does things very fairly, so they have always supported the Su family.

This is a good thing.

Therefore, the Su family's reputation in Huayin County has always been excellent.

Su Fan naturally wants to maintain this good reputation. Not to mention anything else, in the future at the Huashan Sect, it will also make the high-level officials look at him differently. Of course, this is Su Fan's own imagination, and whether it will happen is unknown, but this is just something Su Fan did casually and it doesn't take much effort.

Farming, animal husbandry, and the training of guards, with the strong support of Su Zhuang, are in full swing.

The silver in Su Zhuang is also flowing out. Ordinary people feel distressed, but Su Fan doesn't care because this is just an initial investment.

When the harvest comes, there will be more.

As for the shops in the city, they are also constantly increasing, and the monthly income will also explode. When the Su family's strength is strong, Su Fan is also prepared to intervene in the brewing industry, which is an excellent business.

Excluding these, Su Fan himself is also actively responding to the upcoming Huashan Sect disciple recruitment conference.

Regarding the Huashan Sect's recruitment criteria, he has already sent people to understand. The Huashan Sect recruits disciples in three steps.

The first is to verify the identity. On the first point, Su Fan is very relieved because his background is absolutely the one the Huashan Sect likes the most. He is located at the foot of Huashan and is a landlord.

Generally, such disciples, after being accepted by the Huashan Sect, will even give the Huashan Sect some tribute, which is also one of the Huashan Sect's incomes over the years.

The second is to touch the bones and check the root bone. On this point, Su Fan cannot be sure, but even if the root bone is very poor, by virtue of his status, it is enough to enter the outer sect of the Huashan Sect. At most, he will not be valued, but Su Fan believes that with his cheat, as long as he can practice, his cultivation speed will not be worse than some people with extremely high talent.

The third is to test the disciple's character and courage.

It might be different each time, but it's roughly the same. Su Fan believes that this point will not stump him, but during this period, he is still trying his best to exercise his body.

Originally, his body was not very good. Looking at how his grandfather and father both died young, he knows that the genes are not very good.

But after Su Fan transmigrated, he attached great importance to his body. He immediately found a physician to maintain it and then exercised.

At the same time, he also learned a set of Five-Animal Exercises from a famous doctor in Xi'an Prefecture.

The Five-Animal Exercises are not internal martial arts of the martial arts world, but a health-preserving exercise method, passed down from Hua Tuo of the Three Kingdoms period. Su Fan used his cheat to practice for one year, and his body is excellent. At the age of eleven, he is as strong as a calf, and no one would object if he said he was thirteen or fourteen.

Of course, the reason for such an effect, besides eating a lot of medicinal soup, is his cheat.

This cheat was also discovered by Su Fan one month after transmigrating. It is not a system, nor is it a divine artifact. In Su Fan's words, it is a hanging machine, without too many functions.

A transparent little person appears in his mind, which seems to be a version of himself. As long as he wants to learn something, this little person will evolve and learn.

After the little person evolves, it will fall into his soul.

It is just a hanging learning software.

Through this year of exploration, this thing, to say it is useless, is naturally impossible. After all, it can speed up his learning. Now, the knowledge of that old Scholar has been learned by him.

With his current knowledge reserve, it is absolutely no problem to pass the Scholar examination. This is the role of the hanging cheat.

But it only has this role. It cannot improve strength. For example, adding points to make the flesh strong is impossible.

For example, a sword technique, the hanging little person can evolve in the mind, but if Su Fan wants to display it in reality, he still needs to practice constantly.

However, this process can be shortened, as if a martial arts grandmaster is personally pointing him out. That is the effect, and it can even point out the most suitable for his cultivation.

The role of the hanging little person is currently only these.

Through exploration, this hanging machine is not running twenty-four hours a day, it seems to be related to his energy. Every time he goes deep into his mind, it is about an hour, and this transparent little person will slowly disappear, and at that time, he will be exhausted.

This is also considered a disadvantage of the hanging machine.

However, Su Fan is already very satisfied. After all, this hanging machine has been of great help to him. Not to mention anything else, the Five-Animal Exercises, if there were no hanging machine, relying solely on his own practice, I am afraid it would take five years to reach the current situation.

On the hanging little person's side, it has already evolved the Five-Animal Exercises to the Great Completion realm, and his own body is almost at the Small Completion realm. This is also because his body is too small, and some cannot be practiced.

Even so, the strength of his arms now is not inferior to those adult men.

And he feels that these Five-Animal Exercises can also strengthen the muscles and bones. Perhaps practicing to Great Completion can improve the root bone. This year, he only learned the Five-Animal Exercises and did not learn any other martial arts.

One is because he wants to join the Huashan Sect in the future, and the other is because the efficiency of this hanging machine is not very high.

"In another month, I can join the Huashan Sect, and the Five-Animal Exercises are temporarily at an end."

Late at night, after finishing the operation of the hanging machine, Su Fan's face showed some exhaustion.

"However, the recipe for the Nourishing Spirit Soup also needs to be obtained."

The Nourishing Spirit Soup, as the name suggests, is used to nourish the spirit. It is also in the hands of that famous doctor in Xi'an Prefecture. This Nourishing Spirit Soup has an effect on Su Fan's cheat. After drinking it, it can increase the operation power for half an hour.

However, this Nourishing Spirit Soup costs ten taels of silver per dose, which is not cheap.

Of course, Su Fan knows that the cost is definitely not that high. After all, the famous doctor also needs to make money. Su Fan's idea is to get this medicinal recipe into his hands.

Then he can match it himself, and the cost can be saved.

Although he has money, in the future, the silver needed for practicing martial arts will definitely be more and more.

Huashan Sect, Jianqi Chongxiao Tang.

"Junior Brother, look, Junior Brother Lin sent news that a group of bandits came to the Qinling Mountains, specializing in robbing and killing passing merchants. Many merchants affiliated with the sect have come to complain."

Ning Qingyu took the letter and passed it to the junior brothers below, his eyes carrying a bit of sternness.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, what is the identity of this group of bandits? They dare to provoke our Huashan Sect." Yuan Qingming's face was a bit suspicious. Huashan connects to the Qinling Mountains, so naturally, the Qinling Mountains can be considered one of the traditional territories of the Huashan Sect. Generally, in the territory of the Huashan Sect, even if there are some mountain bandits and robbers, they dare not move against the affiliated merchants of the Huashan Sect.

"Hmph! Junior Brother Lin said that this group of bandits is not weak, and all three leaders have first-rate martial arts."

"What? Three first-rate?"

The several Huashan elders present were no longer calm.

A first-rate martial artist is already a high-level figure in the martial arts world. In a top-tier sect like the Huashan Sect, they are elders and high-level figures. In some second-rate sects, they are even the pillars.

Even as strong as the Huashan Sect, they only have twenty first-rate martial artists now. Suddenly appearing three first-rate martial artists, they can even form a first-rate force.

"And according to Junior Brother Lin's observation, the three people's martial arts seem to come from the same sect."

Ning Qingyu once again said a piece of news that shocked everyone, and everyone's faces changed.

They are not afraid of this group of bandits. Just kidding, the Huashan Sect alone could beat them up, plus the Five Mountains Sword Sects, even Shaolin and Wudang would be very wary.

What they are really shocked about is that a force that can cultivate three first-rate martial artists is absolutely not simple.

This kind of inheritance absolutely belongs to a top-tier sect, a force with a profound inheritance.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, then can the origin of these three people be known?"

Those who can practice to first-rate, and come from the same sect, are obviously not loose martial artists in the martial arts world. First-rate experts who are loose martial artists are almost all individual loose people. It is almost impossible to have pairs, let alone three people.

Everyone is selfish. If you obtain the legacy of a predecessor, will you tell others?

Impossible. If you are not careful, you will be snatched away before you practice.

Ning Qingyu heard the junior brother's inquiry, his face gloomy: "Junior Brother Lin said that their martial arts style is very similar to that family."

That family—Ning Qingyu didn't say which family, but everyone understood. Suddenly, everyone's faces were full of anger.

Over the years, their Huashan Sect has always wanted to break through the Shaanxi boundary, but they have always been blocked, and even secretly suppressed.

It can be said that the Huashan Sect has long had anger toward them, but they were wary of their strength and prestige, so they have never been able to take action.

Now seeing them secretly causing trouble for them again, all the elders of the Huashan Sect were extremely angry.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother..."

"Shut up!"

Ning Qingyu knew what this Junior Brother Xiong wanted to say, and glared at him directly, not giving him a chance to speak. The current strength of the Huashan Sect is indeed not much worse than the other side, but their Huashan Sect still has the Demon Cult watching them.

They cannot make any mistakes at all, otherwise, they will fall off the cliff.

"This matter ends here. Junior Brother Yuan, you take several junior brothers to help Junior Brother Lin, pull that place out, and leave none of the three."

Ning Qingyu said coldly.

"As for Junior Brother Xiong, the sect's triennial disciple recruitment conference is here. This time, it will be handed over to you."

After speaking, Ning Qingyu left the Jianqi Chongxiao Tang directly. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
