Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 26 Money
In the room, in the bathroom.

Shen He looked at himself in the mirror. He was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, exactly the same as himself in his memory. He was neither handsome nor ugly. Overall, he was unremarkable. Only his body was strong due to the effect of the Swallowing Yuan Technique and he was not lacking in nutrition.

After cleaning the room, taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Shen He did not go out immediately, but quietly ate compressed biscuits in the room.

He hasn't had a proper meal for a long time.

Because of the huge time difference between the Dream Butterfly World and the real world, the rhythm of life in the main body has always been very tense, especially in the early stage. Even though he has the Yuan Swallowing Skill and can eat ten meals in one meal, life is still very difficult.

Basically, he can only be awake for a few minutes each time. He must solve his dietary and physiological problems within these few minutes, and then go back to dream, so as to avoid staying in the dream butterfly body for too long and encountering an accident or dying of hunger and thirst.

After Wu Kuangtu's cultivation level improved in the later period, the situation improved a little, but not much better. Because he wanted to develop his power, he often encountered some technical difficulties and needed to get up to look up information. He was very busy taking care of both ends, which was more tiring than working overtime in his previous life.

Although he has survived now, new problems are facing him that urgently need him to solve.

First of all, there is the issue of money.

Why was he eating compressed biscuits in his room?
It’s because he doesn’t have much money left.

Although he sold his martial arts school for a considerable sum of money before traveling through time, he had been searching for information online for his dream development and career planning. Many of the information involved professional knowledge and required extremely high fees.

This hurt his wallet so much that he even embezzled school opening funds.

So now he could only eat cookies in his room and couldn't go to the restaurant downstairs to have a big meal.

He couldn't even keep eating biscuits, because school was about to start. If he couldn't make up for the tuition and accommodation fees he had embezzled before, he would not be able to go to school and live on campus. He could not stay in the Yunlan Hotel anymore and had to move to the middle and lower city areas.

Although even if he were to move to the middle and lower city areas now, he would have the means to deal with those bastards who were targeting him, and even take advantage of the situation to develop, it is still better to avoid such things if possible.

After all, this is the real world, where your life depends. There are behemoths like the Empire and various high-level strongmen. The risk of making a living by illegal means is too great. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by others.

Therefore, it is best not to go to places like the downtown area if you can, and avoid getting involved in those messy troubles if you can.

But if he doesn't cause trouble, he won't find anyone to be his money-giving boy. How can he make money safely?
You have to know that he has just completed the transformation from a warrior, and his cultivation level is not even enough to reach the level of internal strength. He is not a martial arts fanatic who roams the world, nor is he a martial arts ancestor who dominates the world. Many of his methods are unusable.

So, what to do?

Although there are many ways for professionals to make money, given his current situation, it seems that he can only...

Shen He stood up, straightened his clothes, then picked up the room card and personal belongings and went out.

……

The Yunlan Hotel, which shares the same name as Yunlan Star, has some official imperial background.

A hotel of this level is naturally well-equipped with dining areas, entertainment areas, and exercise areas. Some professional equipment, such as the gravity room, is even more advanced than specialized martial arts gyms and schools.

Shen He traveled light and soon arrived at the training area.

The exercise area is just a general term, and it can be further divided into many areas. The open areas and equipment used are also differentiated according to the customer level and housing standards.

Some advanced customers can even use space simulation devices to simulate various environments and even enemies for combat. These are not virtual reality games, but real battles that can hone skills and even provide professional experience.

Shen He booked the lowest-end room in the Yunlan Hotel and was not qualified to enter those high-end training areas. He also had no intention of going to such a place to cause trouble for himself, so he obediently came to the public training area on the first floor.

"call!!!"

"ha!!!"

Although it is the lowest level area, there are still many professionals training here. The sounds of shouting can be heard one after another. Some people use equipment to train their bodies, some practice alone with bare hands, or fight with each other with fists and feet, and some practice fighting with weapons. It can be said to be varied.

It can be seen that the vast majority are martial arts professionals, or it can be said that most of the people in the empire are martial arts professionals. After all, the entry threshold is low, the combat power is not weak, and there is a certain development prospect. It is natural for it to become a popular profession.

Shen He came here, but did not train. Instead, he scanned the crowd and found a few suitable targets, and then...

"Um!?"

Zhong Qin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. She glanced to the side and saw a young man standing not far away, looking at her with a smile on his face, his eyes unconcealed.

This made Zhong Qin frown even more.

She is not the kind of woman who would be very dissatisfied and label the other person as a subordinate if the opposite sex looked at her a few times in the exercise area.

But isn't this person too blatant?
What does it mean to keep staring at her?
Is the personnel management of Yunlan Hotel so bad that they let all kinds of people in?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have exercised in this area. Wouldn’t it be nice to have my own room?
Zhong Qin complained inwardly, and her movements became even more unnatural, and her already unfamiliar Xingyiquan moves became even more chaotic.

At this moment...

"That's not how you fight."

A voice came, causing her body to stiffen and she stopped moving immediately.

Turning around, the person who spoke was the young man who had made the man lose his head.

Although he was a young man, he gave people a calm and steady impression. He did not change his expression in the face of her cold gaze, and continued to stand there and look at her with a smile.

"Humph!"

Zhong Qin snorted coldly, ignored her, stopped punching, and turned to leave. But she didn't expect...

"Xingyi, with form as the trunk and intention as the root, only when form and intention are combined can one attain the essence. If you only have the form but not the intention, even if you practice for ten years, you will not be able to achieve Gangqi."

The quiet words came faintly, but Zhong Qin stopped in her tracks instantly. She turned around and looked at him in surprise and doubt: "What did you say?"

"I said you're not practicing correctly."

Shen He came forward, smiling and speaking calmly, "Would you consider hiring a coach?"

"coach?"

Zhong Qin was startled for a moment, then came to her senses and looked Shen He up and down: "You want to be my coach?"

Shen He smiled and nodded: "Not bad!"

"just you?"

Zhong Qin looked at him coldly: "What's your profession? Are you a warrior or a fighter? How dare you come out and teach others after reaching a certain level of Xingyiquan? Are you playing tricks?"

The words were very impolite.

There's no need to be polite. At such a young age, he ran to the exercise area on the first floor to recommend himself to a girl like her. It doesn't seem reliable no matter how you look at it.

But it's understandable. Judging from the way he's dressed and his family background, it's understandable that he comes here to earn some pocket money.

It's just that he found the wrong person. He is not like those ignorant little girls who can be fooled by some specious and panacea-like nonsense.

and so……

“You can try teaching.”

Shen He's expression remained unchanged, still calm: "If you are not satisfied, I won't charge you."

"..."

Zhong Qin was silent for a while, looking at him in surprise and doubt. Finally, she said in a mysterious way: "You said it, don't make trouble with me when the time comes."

"will not."

Shen He shook his head: "Let's get a room."

"follow me!"

Seeing this, Zhong Qin simply turned around and walked to the counter, spending money to open a small exercise room.

Money, money, money, a penny can make a hero fall!

Although the Human Empire is already a dominant cosmic civilization, life is still difficult for some people. After all, resources cannot be produced out of thin air, and the Empire also needs some pressure from the people. Otherwise, who will fight against those evil gods of the universe and their minions?
So, money is important, very important.

Why do you practice martial arts if you have no money?

Why would you become an immortal if you don’t have money?

What kind of job are you if you don’t have money?
Forget about practicing martial arts, cultivating immortals, and advancing to a new job. Without sufficient economic strength, you can't even survive, especially on a newly developed colonial planet like Yunlan Star. There are dangers everywhere outside the city, including indigenous resistance forces, cult lurkers, and all kinds of messy things that can easily take people's lives.

So, everyone is having a hard time and is trying their best to make money.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qin couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her brain. She actually believed this unprepossessing little guy, thought he could help her, and even spent money to open a workout room.

In this area, there are many personal trainers like him who are soliciting customers. They all seem to be more reliable than him. I didn't get fooled by him, so how could I be persuaded by him? This guy doesn't look that handsome.

Zhong Qin felt a pang of regret, which made her even more unhappy. As soon as she entered the exercise room, she turned around and said, "We agreed that if you're not satisfied, you won't pay. And you have to pay half of the cost of this exercise room."

"no problem!"

Shen He smiled, unconcerned. "Let's begin now. Xingyiquan's Five Elements and Twelve Forms. Which one are you going to focus on?"

Zhong Qin glanced at him and said, "Dragon shape!"

"That's the Dragon Subduing Technique."

Shen He smiled faintly and explained to her, "The essence of the dragon form lies in subjugation. What you subdue is not the external dragon, but the dragon within yourself. If you can control your own Qi, blood, and true energy to the point of being able to do whatever you want, you can transform into a dragon..."

“I know all these theories.”

After hearing what he said, Zhong Qin felt even more disappointed. "But what exactly do I need to do to subdue my own Qi and blood power?"

"Alright!"

After hearing this, Shen He simply set up his fists in front of her and performed the Xingyi Dragon Subduing Technique.
