Chapter 24 Moving to a new house

 The next day.

It just so happened that it rained continuously yesterday and the sky cleared up after the rain. On this day, the sun shone brightly from the early morning. The bright sun dispelled the gloom in the city and forced all the dirt to disappear.

Chen Mu was not aware of the undercurrent surging one night.

But he has always been prepared for danger in times of peace, and he also knows the truth about the coexistence of opportunities and crises. Although being a bad leader will lead to a higher status, he will also face more difficult troubles and dangers, and he wants to overcome all obstacles and reach the clouds. And the only thing you can rely on is your own strength.

Hence, he did not neglect his practice even one night. After moving, he began to practice the skin-polishing method.

Generally speaking, moving to a new home is a troublesome matter, but for Chen Mu, it is quite simple, because there is almost nothing worth moving at home, and the only things that need to be brought are Chen Yue and Wang Ni.

Wearing a new suit of clothes, Chen Yue, who was clean and clean, followed Chen Mu out of the house.

Since she was twelve years old, Chen Mu rarely took her out. Even if he did take her out, he would make her unkempt on purpose, making her short, ugly and unable to tell her gender. Now she can finally go out wearing new clothes. .

Chen Mu had no nostalgia for the two old houses. There were already guards waiting outside. When he brought Chen Yue and Wang Ni out, he was escorted by several guards to the back streets of Jiutiaoli. .

soon.

 Arrived at the place.

It was a house located behind the City Guards, probably only two streets away. Although it was not the kind of expensive and luxurious house, the two mahogany doors were straight and the front door was clean. There were rows of houses inside. The house is also clean and tidy.

This mansion has two courtyards, one front yard and one backyard, with three rooms in each direction. It can be said to be very spacious. Even if there are three or five old servants and maids, it is not cramped. It is no longer ordinary. A house that can be lived in by ordinary people.

 “Master.”

An old servant was waiting outside the door. When he saw Chen Mu, he saluted respectfully. Then, while leading Chen Mu in, he told Chen Mu about the layout of the two mansions.

"Master Min doesn't come here on weekdays, so I am the only slave who cleans the dust and leaves. If you feel that you are short of manpower, it is very easy to go to the store to buy."

After the old servant introduced the house, he stood aside cautiously.

In today's chaotic world, being able to work as a servant for a powerful person is something that many people will fight over. Although you have become a slave, you will no longer have to be entangled with all kinds of exorbitant taxes and harassment from gangsters. Without monthly payment, at least I don’t have to worry about food and my life is very easy.

He naturally did not dare to neglect Chen Mu, the new master. If Chen Mu was made unhappy and expelled, he would have no place to stay.

 “I like peace and quiet, so I don’t need the purchasing staff for the time being.”

 Chen Mu waved his hand at the old servant.

This house is not too small, but not too big. It is basically enough to have an old servant to clean the yard. Chen Yue also has Wang Ni following her, so there is no need to buy a maid. It is best to keep the status quo.

Having moved into a spacious new home, Chen Yue seemed very active, going into every room to check every corner, while Wang Ni followed her obediently without interrupting.

Chen Mu, however, did not play with Chen Yue, but went to the backyard to mind his own business.

The backyard is a place for people to live, with a main living room and side rooms on both sides. Chen Mu asked Chen Yue to choose one at random. Chen Yue looked at both sides and chose the west side room. Chen Mu lived in the main living room. In the past, the brother and sister had been forced to squeeze in. One room even had to be squeezed into one bed in winter, but now there is finally a room available.

 “It finally looks good.”

 Chen Mu walked into his main residence, looked at the spacious and bright outer room and the bedroom inside and nodded slightly, then sat down on a yellow wooden chair, then thought for a moment and took out a stack of yellow paper from his arms.

On the paper is the ‘Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Method’.

He had actually examined and memorized it carefully last night, but the skin-grinding method was different from the knife method. It was a body-tempering method that needed to rely on external objects. Therefore, he was not able to practice it last night, and he had to buy items today. .

Rather than saying it is the Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Method, it is more appropriate to call it the 'Golden Sand' Skin Resurfacing Method. The method involves digging a hole first, lying down in it, then burying the person with fine sand, and finally boiling the medicine powder. Pour the soup in and repeat several times.

Among them, it is said that ordinary microdermabrasion methods often use methods such as coarse salt grinding and stone pile impact to hone the skin membrane. Either the skin membrane is continuously worn and then regenerated to transform, or it is trained through repeated impacts and beatings. No matter which one, it will cause some hidden damage to the human body. It will not be obvious when you are young, but when you get old, various problems will appear.

The Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Method is relatively gentle. It is mostly practiced with special medicinal powder. The cold sand is used to share the potency of the medicinal powder. It is neutral and gentle, and is one of the least harmful methods. .

"The microdermabrasion method is the result of accumulation. One year, it is a small success, another year it is a big success, and another year it is perfect..." "Chen Mu looked at the description on the paper and murmured.

Specifically, it takes an average person three years to achieve perfect gong, but this time is not fixed and depends on each person's root bones and compatibility. Often, the better the root bones, the faster the skin resurfacing. .

Compatibility refers to the compatibility with the 'Yao Powder'. After all, some people's bodies are cold, some people's bodies are hot, some people belong to Yin, and some people belong to Yang. If the Yin, Yang and Five Elements can completely fit the Yao Powder, and the body is extremely adaptable, then You can even exercise excessively, from exercising twice a day in the morning and evening to three times a day, and the progress will naturally be greatly accelerated.

“My bones seem to be only middle to upper, so I don’t know how the fit is.”

 Chen Mu looked thoughtful.

Medium-to-upper bones sound good, but in fact, as long as they are not strangely shaped, deformed, hunchbacked, or have many bones and few bones, their bones are "medium", which means they are slightly better than the most ordinary people.

But what Chen Mu is most concerned about is not the issue of root and fit, but whether the skin grinding method, like the knife method, can also rely on the system to accumulate experience points?

 Do whatever comes to your mind.

There are two medicinal powder prescriptions for Jinyu Skin Resurfacing, one is taken internally to strengthen Qi and blood, and the other is externally boiled for skin resurfacing. The medicinal materials used in the two prescriptions are different, although neither is extremely precious. That kind of thing, but in this world, as long as medicinal materials are involved, they are basically not cheap.

After Chen Mu went to the drug store to buy it in person, he did a little calculation. If he took two servings a day, morning and evening, it would cost close to two hundred taels of silver in a year. Ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.

 Fortunately, he is still quite wealthy now, with at least more than three hundred taels of silver. And after making a difference, there will naturally be some ways to get money, and he can afford it.

 Having been busy all day, it’s almost time to fall asleep.

Chen Mu asked Chen Yue to play in the front yard, then he lay down in the dug hole in the corner of the backyard, buried his body with sand, then picked up the kettle next to him and poured the prepared soup from his feet to his feet. The **** were poured up.

Lying in the sand pit, Chen Mu had enjoyed it at the beach in his previous life, but when he poured out half a pot of skin-grinding soup, the feeling immediately changed. The warm soup seeped into the cold sand, and the two When the two substances are mixed together and come into contact with the skin, a burning sensation immediately rolls up and spreads from the soles of the feet.

 Period.

Chen Mu couldn't even tell whether it was pain or sourness.

It felt like there were countless ants trying to burrow into every part of the skin. The slight pain was mixed with the slight tingling and a slight sense of comfort. It was an indescribable weird feeling.

 About a quarter of an hour later, this feeling began to fade away.

Chen Mu picked up the kettle and poured the soup in again... He repeated this three times, and finally the first portion of the soup was used up.

 Climb out of the sand pit.

Chen Mu didn't feel that his body had become much stronger. On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was numb and limp, and he couldn't even exert his strength for a while. So he called Chen Yue and asked Chen Yue and Wang Ni to support him and returned to the house. , climb into the barrel to clean.

“Brother, why did you bury yourself in the pit? Are you practicing some martial arts?”

Chen Yue asked curiously while pouring water for Chen Mu.

 Chen Mu leaned against the edge of the barrel exhausted, letting Chen Yue add water to the bucket, and said with a smile: "Yes, how about Yue'er also practicing kung fu?"

"don't want."

Chen Yue made a face at Chen Mu: "I won't bury myself stupidly."

　　 said and ran out.

 Chen Mu laughed and shook his head, lying comfortably in the warm water, and then called up the system panel. At a glance, he saw new changes on the system panel. A new line appeared under the Gale Wind Saber Technique and Gale Wind Saber Technique.
