Chapter 4: Tips for Spring
Chen Jie walked out of his house, looked back at his dilapidated house, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a bare house."

Chen Jie is not a pessimistic person. He has experienced hard times. He dropped out of junior high school and had nothing. However, through his unremitting efforts, he finally had enough food and clothing and was financially free.

He has been poor and rich. He knows why he is poor and understands how to become rich. Therefore, he is not confused about the future.

But the most urgent task now is to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Thinking of Chen Jie, he went straight to the back mountain.

Along the way, Chen Jie looked at the crops in the people's homes. They were in a period of transition from harvest to harvest. It didn't look like it would be a good year. He didn't know how much grain the people would have left after the government collected taxes.

There is a big mountain behind Xiantao Village, named Dahei Mountain, which belongs to the Daba Mountains. There are all kinds of wild beasts on the mountain, which are very dangerous. Moreover, there is a terrible poison barrier starting from the middle of the mountain. Ordinary people dare not enter the poison barrier at all.

Even the famous warrior masters in the town did not dare to go deep into the city easily.

However, I heard that there are treasures in this poisonous barrier. Once, someone picked a blood-red Ganoderma lucidum in the poisonous barrier, and it was directly bought by the warrior master for ten taels of silver, making the master rich overnight.

It can be said that opportunities and dangers coexist in these mountains.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Jie. The place Chen Jie is going to today is in a ravine at the foot of Dahei Mountain.

Chen Jie soon arrived at the Black Bear Valley shown in the intelligence.

Black Bear Valley got its name because some people said they had seen bears here.

When Chen Jie arrived here, he saw that the forest was tall and dense. Common people did not dare to come here to chop firewood easily because the government collected taxes.

The trees in Black Bear Valley all belong to the government. It is said that every year the people have to pay firewood tax to the government. The more firewood they cut down, the heavier the tax.

The people have to pay more than a dozen taxes and levies every year, and they can't even afford to eat.

Thinking about the world's headache-inducing heavy taxes and levies, Chen Jie only thought of one word: Harsh government is as ferocious as a tiger.

The trees in the Black Bear Forest are very diverse, but the locust trees are concentrated in only one area. Chen Jie arrived here quickly and picked up a dead rabbit under a big locust tree.

Chen Jie picked up the rabbit. It was quite heavy, probably about 7 or 8 kilograms. After removing the fur and internal organs, there were about 3 to 5 kilograms of meat, enough to eat for a day or two.

Thinking of this, I felt relieved. At least the problem of eating for the next two days was solved.

Thinking about the two sisters at home, it is also a happy thing to be able to eat meat.

Chen Jie thought about it and was about to go back, but he stopped for a moment. Thinking about the way his two sisters at home were wary of him, he found a big tree root and sat down.

Give them some time to calm down.

Now that they can't see me, they should be happier than if they could see me.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie leaned against a big tree and called up his own system.

I was in an emergency at home just now and didn't take a close look at my system. This is a good opportunity for me to take this opportunity to learn more about the system. After all, this is what will support my future life.

Checking your own system.

Not to mention, I actually found something useful.

First, the intelligence in this intelligence system is currently at level one, with only five pieces of intelligence updated daily, and it is unknown what the conditions for upgrading are.

Second, this information currently seems to only count if you have experienced it yourself, such as seen it, contacted it, passed by it, but I don’t know if you have heard of it or thought about it. Can this type of information also be refreshed?

The third point, which is also Chen Jie’s favorite, is that this intelligence system also comes with its own attribute panel.

"panel."

Summon your own panel.

[Realm: Not yet started]

[Kung Fu: Spring Nourishing Secret]

[Evaluation: You seem to have learned some medical skills, but you also seem not to have learned any.]

The simple information on the panel made Chen Jie feel a little embarrassed, especially the unnecessary comment at the end: What did you mean by "I seem to have learned medical skills, but also seem not to have learned it"?
Are you trying to play Schrödinger's medical skills with us?
However, there is one piece of information that Chen Jie is very concerned about, and that is Yangchun Jue, which should be a martial arts secret book!

Martial arts secrets, the secret of nourishing youth, and I also have this treasure!

Chen Jie pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered that on his seventh birthday, his grandfather asked him to practice a breathing method with him.

But I was lazy and didn't learn it well. I just muddled through for a few days. Then my grandfather died suddenly, and I never studied this breathing method again.

Wait, it seemed like my grandpa gave me a yellowed old book that day. Yes, he did. What was recorded on it was the secret of nourishing spring.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie stood up suddenly.

Then he rushed home.

In his previous life, he read novels and knew the importance of a cultivation method in ancient times, especially in this world of advanced martial arts.

As for how Chen Jie knew that this was a high-level martial arts world, it was because he had memories in his mind that said that the most honorable people in this world were martial arts masters.

The warrior master possesses strength that is unmatched by ordinary people. He can easily lift a huge rock weighing hundreds of pounds and can jump onto the beams of a house.

Even the county magistrate has to show courtesy to the warrior.

Therefore, almost everyone in the country wants to learn martial arts, but unfortunately most of them have no hope of getting started.

This is because the resources for learning martial arts in this world are almost all monopolized by the government, wealthy families, and underworld gangs. If you want to learn martial arts, you have to join the army, become a slave of a wealthy family, or become a disciple of an underworld gang.

Otherwise, you will never learn martial arts and become a martial artist.

As for martial arts schools, how could such things possibly exist? Even if they do exist, they are purely a scam.

If the peasants want to learn real things, they have no choice but to sell themselves to the three major forces above.

People teach you martial arts not to make money from your pocket, but to get a bunch of people to work for them.

As for what you said, I have money and can hire someone to teach me, that's a joke. Without the guarantee of force, how can you have money?

Well, let's take a step back and say that you inherited an inheritance just like Chen Jie, then if these powerful forces want your money, it would only take a word for them to do so.

As long as you don't have the corresponding armed protection.

The government can collect taxes from you individually, and not paying is disobeying the court.

Gangs can collect protection money from you, and if you don’t pay, they will send people to deal with you.

The aristocratic families can ask you for compensation. If you don’t give it, they will use their connections to squeeze you to death.

Even street thugs can trick you into gambling and make you lose everything.

I am a living example.

Therefore, in such a world, without the use of force, everything is in vain, and the Yangchun Jue is the thing that can change your destiny.

Therefore, this secret of nourishing spring must be found!
If you want to survive in such a world, you have to learn martial arts and become stronger!
