Chapter 8 Grade

In Wu Fan's house, the two of them sat opposite each other at the table. Wu Fan put his long sword on the table and said, "Xiao Fei, master said that in a few days, we will follow the herb collection team into the mountains to collect herbs. You How are the preparations going?”

Song Fei picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a glass of water. After he finished the water, he replied excitedly: "There is nothing to prepare. I have prepared all the medicines I should bring. I will be there when we set off." Just prepare some food."

Wu Fan also drank a glass of water and then said: "Bring more healing medicine and detoxification pills. It is said that there are many venomous snakes and beasts in the mountains."

Song Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Fan, the master said that it will take about half a month for us to go up the mountain to collect herbs. I am really excited to think about it. After so many years, we can finally go out."

"Yes, the master has long said that as long as we reach the age of sixteen, we will have to work for the drug store. We are considered to be apprentices. The master has nothing to teach us. In the future, we can only rely on ourselves to slowly explore and accumulate experience. ." Wu Fan also replied with some excitement.

"Brother Xiaofan, I heard from Brother Zhang in the medicine shop that for those of us who go to the mountains to collect herbs, no matter how many herbs each person picks, when we come back, the medicine shop will give us 20% of the market price, and the medicine shop will charge 80%. Brother Zhang said, we We can earn at least five taels of silver once we go up the mountain. If we are lucky and encounter rare herbs and old herbs, we will make a lot of money," Seinfeld said happily.

"Yes, although we have had enough food and clothing over the years, this is the first time we have earned taels of silver. When we have money in the future, we can buy whatever we want. I want to earn more taels of silver in the future. , I will buy a small courtyard in Qingshan City in the future, and then I will bring my parents over to live with me, as well as my lovely sister. I wonder what she has become now." Wu Fan also showed excitement in his eyes. said.

"It is said that there are herb collection teams from other pharmacies going up the mountain with us this time, and several of our pharmacies have jointly hired a team of escorts to escort them. It is said that the escort team is led by a top-notch expert, and there are three others under it. There are two second-rate experts and more than twenty third-rate experts to protect our safety," Seinfei said with a smile.

Wu Fan knows that in the martial arts world, warriors are divided into several levels, and the most powerful ones are of course the top masters. It is said that the leader of the Yao Gang is a top master, which is equivalent to a god-like existence, and the entire Yao Gang is like this For a top expert, you must know that the power of the Medicine Gang covers the entire Qingzhou. Almost all the big cities in Qingzhou have the business of the Medicine Gang. Even within a few thousand miles of more than ten big cities near Qingshan City, they are also first-rate gangs. There are not many gangs who dare to compete with the Yao Gang. The reason is because there is such a top master in the Yao Gang.

Below the top masters are the first-class masters. The first-class masters are also people who can tremble when they stomp their feet. They are usually the pillars of small and medium-sized gangs, and they are usually invisible.

Next to the first-class masters are the quasi-first-class masters. It is said that there is a quasi-first-class master who led the team this time. He is also quite powerful. Such masters are generally not available. Wu Fan's master Liu Lao is also a master. A quasi-first-class master, but he couldn't go into the mountains because he had to stay at the medicine shop and couldn't leave. In fact, Wu Fan had never seen his master take action.

Next to the nearly first-rate masters are the second-rate masters. When Mr. Liu took Wu Fan and Song Fei to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to select exercises a few years ago, the old man guarding the pavilion he saw was a second-rate master. Second-rate masters usually can still do it by spending a few silver taels. Those who are hired are said to be worth twenty or thirty taels of silver for a mission, which is equivalent to the entire expenses of an ordinary family in the city for a year.

Below the second-rate masters are the third-rate masters, and Seinfeld will now be able to reach the third-rate masters.

As for Wu Fan himself, he currently doesn’t know what level he belongs to, because the skills he practices are quite special. Ever since he was promoted to the second level, he can no longer tell how strong he is now. He only knows that he just and The strength Sein Fei showed during the competition was less than 20% of his total strength. The strength Wu Fan usually showed in front of his master was about 20%. According to Wu Fan's own speculation, he should now be a quasi-first-class master. , He is even a first-rate master.

After the two chatted for a while, Seinfeld got up and went back to his room to sleep.

After Song Fei left, Wu Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, placing his hands on the knees of his legs. At this time, he entered into breathing practice again. Since Wu Fan practiced to the second level, he found that no matter how tired he was that day, He can recover as long as he practices for a few hours, and he no longer needs to sleep. He only needs to sit cross-legged and meditate every day. It is really amazing.

The next day, near noon, Wu Fan finished his training. He slowly opened his eyes, his face was a little gloomy, and he was also a little annoyed. He thought to himself: "It has been three months since I reached the peak of the second level, but I still haven't been able to break through to the second level. I don’t know the reason for the third level, but this has never happened before. It seems that blind cultivation cannot help me break through."

Wu Fan has not broken through the bottleneck for three months, and he does not know what to do next. Wu Fan also asked his master before, but Mr. Liu said that he did not know much about this technique and could not guide Wu Fan. This put Wu Fan at risk. I'm so worried. Will I be stuck on the second floor and unable to break through in the future?

There is no other way. Wu Fan can only put this matter aside for the time being. He is now busy preparing some items to bring into the mountains. First of all, he needs to prepare more healing medicines and antidotes. There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains. It is definitely better to bring more medicines. These medicines are easy to deal with. Wu Fan has been learning from Mr. Liu for so many years, and it is still easy for him to practice some medicines.

The long sword that Wu Hao gave him must also be brought. There are many wild beasts in the mountains. It is said that some beasts cannot be beaten even by quasi-first-class masters. If he is unlucky, he may encounter robbers. Although he has hired an escort agency, he still needs to carry a long sword for self-defense for safety.

Secondly, he needs to bring some gauze for bandaging injuries. Ropes are also necessary, because sometimes when picking herbs, they will go to some cliffs to pick them. Ropes are indispensable. He also needs to carry a bamboo basket, a shovel, a flint, a kettle, and some dry food. If there is not enough food, he can hunt some game. There are still many pheasants and rabbits in the mountains! After Wu Fan had prepared everything he needed, he waited to follow the herb-collecting team into the mountains.
