[Easy Mode: ... Iron Cloth Skill·Remnant 1 time (100 taels of silver/time)]
After drinking the Qi Blood Powder, the panel changed directly, and he could use Easy Mode.
"Activate Easy Mode."
[Easy Mode Activated: Bathe in warm water for ten minutes to train Iron Cloth Skill·Remnant to the first level.]
An hour later, the panel refreshed:
[Name: Su Chen] [Martial Arts: Iron Cloth Skill·Remnant (First Layer 1%) Raging Wave Saber Technique (Limit) Turtle Shell Skill (Limit) Ape Arm Skill (Perfect 1%) Bone Shrinking Skill (Perfect 1%)] [Easy Mode: Iron Cloth Skill·Remnant 0 times (100 taels of silver/time) Raging Wave Saber Technique 0 times (any complete saber technique/time) Turtle Shell Skill 0 times (none) Ape Arm Skill 0 times (10 taels of gold/time) Bone Shrinking Skill 0 times (10 taels of gold/time)]
However, Su Chen at this time was not in the mood to pay attention to the panel; his gaze fell on his palms.
The surface of his palms was no different from before, but Su Chen could clearly feel that there seemed to be a wisp of airflow surging within his palms.
"This is... Force?"
As if somewhat unable to believe it, Su Chen muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.
Bang!
Su Chen picked up a small piece of stone and instantly mobilized the Force on his palm.
Without using any strength at all, he saw that as the Force entered the stone, several cracks appeared on the stone's surface, quickly spreading throughout its body.
A crisp sound rang out, and the stone cracked open like a blooming flower.
Then, Su Chen gently squeezed, and the stone instantly turned into a cloud of powder, scattering in the air with the wind.
"It really is Force!"
Su Chen said in surprise. He never expected that he was still asking Hong Ming how to Enter Force a few days ago, and today he inexplicably Entered Force.
"Too fast, I wasn't prepared at all!"
The unbelievable words, coupled with a slightly annoying expression, would probably make Hong Ming unable to resist making a move if he saw this scene.
I, as your teacher, spent most of my life without successfully Entering Force, and you, kid, have only been cultivating for how long and you've already Entered Force? Comparing people is really infuriating!
After a short while, Su Chen calmed down.
"The power of Force is indeed great, but the quantity is too small. I only used it once, and I can't continue to use it."
"No wonder the robbers at that time didn't keep using Force. I guess it's similar to me. They haven't been practicing Force for long, and there's not much in their bodies."
"Although it can only be used once, it can be used as a trump card like the Sleeve Blade, enough to give the enemy a hard time."
"And this is just the beginning. When I upgrade the Iron Cloth Skill again, maybe the Force will increase. At that time, it will be the time for Force to exert its power."
Thinking this way, Su Chen brought up the panel. When he saw the data on the panel, he couldn't help but rub his forehead: "The next time I activate Easy Mode, it will cost another hundred taels!"
Well, he's penniless again, but he doesn't seem to have ever been truly rich.
"Right, there's also the Ape Arm Skill and Bone Shrinking Skill, only one last Easy Mode away from reaching the limit, plus the upgrade of the Iron Cloth Skill, a total of three hundred taels is needed."
Hiss, headache!
Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts in his mind, Su Chen stopped dwelling on it.
The boat will right itself when it reaches the pier. With his current strength, he would have bread, and he would have money.
Shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Su Chen continued to test the power of Practice Force.
He continued testing until night, still tirelessly enjoying it.
The more he tested, the more he felt the power of Practice Force, which was simply a killing weapon.
However, what puzzled Su Chen was that the Practice Force in his palms could only flow within his palms and could not extend to his arms.
He conducted many tests for this, but ultimately could not come to an accurate conclusion, and could only attribute it to the incompleteness of the skill.
"Iron Wire Fist and Iron Sand Palm can be fused, I wonder if Iron Cloth Skill and Ape Arm Skill, Turtle Shell Skill can be fused? It's not clear yet, it seems I can only wait and see."
Putting this matter behind him, Su Chen stopped testing and went out for a simple meal.
When he returned home, it was still early, so Su Chen continued to prepare Soul Confusion Powder, continuing until late at night before going to sleep.
Two days later.
Su Chen came to the County Office and stood in front of the wanted list, carefully examining it.
After spending a day successfully preparing the Soul Confusion Powder, and then resting for a day, he began to plan how to make money.
The first place he thought of was the County Office.
These days had passed, and like last time, the wanted list had not changed at all.
"Yang Zhuangshi?"
Just as Su Chen was thinking about which wanted criminal to choose, a voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw that it was someone from the County Office whom he had met once before.
"You are?" Su Chen asked in confusion.
"I am the Yamen Clerk of the County Office." The man smiled and replied.
Then his gaze shifted between Su Chen and the wanted list, and he said, "Is Yang Zhuangshi here to accept a bounty?"
Su Chen nodded, "Yes."
After a pause, he asked, "I see that these wanted lists have been up for some time, does the government have any recent news about them?"
The Yamen Clerk shook his head, "Indeed, as Yang Zhuangshi said, these lists have been up for some time, but the County Office does not know whether the wanted criminals on them are dead or alive."
These words made Su Chen feel slightly disappointed. He was not afraid of wasting time, but he was afraid of wasting time and still not being able to find anyone.
"Yang Zhuangshi, would you mind moving to the County Office?"
Just then, the Yamen Clerk looked around and asked cautiously.
"Oh?" Su Chen looked at the other party's expression, as if he had something he wanted to say to him, so he nodded, "I'll trouble the Yamen Clerk then."
With that, he followed the Yamen Clerk into the County Office.
The Yamen Clerk led Su Chen to the main hall, had tea served, and then excused himself.
Su Chen sat in the main hall, not drinking the tea, and after waiting for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he suddenly looked towards the entrance.
"Yang Zhuangshi!"
Coming towards him was County Magistrate Tao Wenxuan. Seeing Su Chen, he greeted him with a beaming smile and clasped his hands.
"County Magistrate Tao." Su Chen greeted him, then turned his gaze to the Yamen Clerk.
Tao Wenxuan chuckled when he saw this, "I heard from the Yamen Clerk that Yang Zhuangshi was at the County Office entrance. At first, this official didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect to see Yang Zhuangshi again after so many days, with your spirit undiminished."
"County Magistrate Tao, you may speak frankly." Facing Tao Wenxuan's roundabout way of speaking, Su Chen replied directly.
Tao Wenxuan was not annoyed upon hearing this and said, "It's like this, I happen to have a bounty here, and I wonder if Yang Zhuangshi is interested?"
"Tell me more."
"The person with the bounty is related to the Rebirth Sect!" Tao Wenxuan's voice became somewhat solemn, and the expression on his face also became restrained.
Rebirth Sect?
Su Chen's brow furrowed, and relevant information quickly surfaced in his mind.
The Da Qian Dynasty was declining, and in addition to the various gangs that stood tall, there were also many rebel armies. This Rebirth Sect was one of them.
The Rebirth Sect was a rebel force that had risen in recent years, operating around Qinzhou all year round, opposing the imperial court, and causing the government a great headache.
Unlike other rebel armies, this Rebirth Sect was very mysterious.
Apart from the initial incident of killing officials and distributing grain, which caused a huge sensation, it later seemed to disappear without a trace, rarely appearing in the government's sight.
Now it seemed that they had not disappeared without a trace, but were lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing Su Chen's silence, Tao Wenxuan and the Yamen Clerk exchanged glances, and then the Yamen Clerk coughed lightly and said, "Yang Zhuangshi, the amount of this bounty is one hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up slightly.
