From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

If this talent hadn't come from a humble background as a salt farmer, wasting so many years, he might now be able to enter the inner circle and become a fourth-level Body Tempering Realm martial artist, or even a fifth-level Body Tempering Realm martial artist.

However, she then thought of her friend Fang Lingsu, whose old injury had worsened.

He had to rely on alcohol to numb the pain every day.

Zheng Yanqing's heart clenched involuntarily.

Although she had been helping Fang Lingsu search for precious medicines all this time, she had found nothing.

The next moment, Zheng Yanqing forced himself to stay alert.

He took out two Body Tempering Pills from his pocket and handed them to Fang Qing.

"These are the two Body Tempering Pills that Fang Lingsu asked me to give to you before I left."

"Keep this for now. I'll tell Father in a bit that you've successfully modified the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique."

"I will propose that you be promoted to Grade C Resource Disciple."

The cultivation techniques practiced in the Great Qian Dynasty, whether it was the Mountain and River Body Tempering Technique or the Five Internal Organs and Seven Injuries Body Tempering Technique, all allowed disciples to integrate various external martial arts styles.

As long as the breathing method and energy circulation path conform to the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique, it will be fine.

It is impossible to tell what kind of martial art a person practices just from their appearance, posture, and style of practice.

Therefore, at this moment, although Fang Qing was practicing the Undying Golden Body Refining Method, which was a fusion of the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Method and the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique, he was still unable to achieve his goal.

His internal cultivation path still shows traces of the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique.

Therefore, even with Zheng Yanqing's current cultivation level, he only considered Fang Qing to be practicing the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique, rather than some other method.

Upon seeing the two Body Tempering Pills handed over by Zheng Yanqing, Fang Qing felt a warmth in his heart.

He hadn't expected that Fang Lingsu would still remember him after he gave Fang Qing two Body Tempering Pills last time.

It has to be said that this second young lady of the Fang family is quite kind to me.

"By the way, Fang Lingsu asked me to tell you that she will deliver the two Body Tempering Pills and 30 catties of spiritual meat that she promised you to the Jinsha Saltworks before the end of the month."

"These two Body Tempering Pills are not included in the promised reward."

After giving Fang Qing a few more brief instructions, Zheng Yanqing excitedly walked into the area where Zheng Shanhe and his family lived.

Fang Qing practiced the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique ten times.

So I went straight to the alley next door and bought some breakfast.

When he returned to the Mountain and River Boxing Academy, the entire academy had become lively.

Before long, Fang Wansan came over in a very enthusiastic manner.

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, congratulations on your successful change of cultivation method."

I was worried about you just a few days ago. The Five Internal Organs and Seven Injuries Body Tempering Technique has caused you too much damage, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to successfully switch to the Mountain and River Internal Body Tempering Technique.

I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise today, junior brother! Congratulations!

It was obvious that Zheng Yanqing had already announced the news of Fang Qing's successful modification of the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique to the entire boxing academy.

It still caused a small ripple.

Upon hearing the news, Fang Wansan rushed over immediately.

The next moment, he took out a Qi-replenishing pill from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qing.

"As your senior, I don't have anything to show for myself."

This Qi-replenishing pill is offered as a congratulatory gift.

This Qi-boosting pill is still very expensive.

One of them costs nearly an ounce of silver.

Therefore, Fang Wansan's gift was quite valuable.

Fang Qing originally wanted to decline, but Fang Wansan argued that he still had some resources in the Fang family, so this Qi-replenishing pill was nothing.

Fang Qing had no choice but to accept it.

A short while later, Zheng Yanqing also came over.

"I've already spoken with my father, and you can be promoted to the C-level resource disciple pool."

"Here are two Qi-replenishing pills and two body-tempering bath packets for you."

"In addition, I will also give you two Qi-replenishing pills as a congratulatory gift."

Fang Wansan shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw the two Qi-replenishing pills in Zheng Yanqing's hand.

"Why does Junior Sister Zheng value Junior Brother Fang Qing so much? She just casually gave him two Qi-replenishing pills!"

"It can't be..."

Fang Wansan glanced at Zheng Yanqing, who was in her teens, and then at Fang Qing, who was in his prime.

Although Zheng Yanqing is three years older than Fang Qing.

"Could it be that marrying a woman three years older is like finding a gold brick?!"

Fang Wansan raised an eyebrow, his gossipy nature itching to find out more!

……

Next, some senior students from other training areas (Zone C and Zone B) also came to offer their congratulations.

These senior brothers didn't come over to collect their congratulatory gifts.

After all, Fang Qing had only successfully modified his cultivation method this time.

It wasn't a particularly grand event.

It's quite an achievement that they came over to greet Fang Qing.

What surprised Fang Qing the most was that Xie Yunzhou from the training ground in District Ding actually forced a tael of silver onto Fang Qing.

"Senior brother, this tael of silver is pocket money my father gave me. I don't spend much silver these days."

"Also, I have an extra pack of this body-tempering medicinal bath. You can use it too."

Fang Qing naturally couldn't accept Xie Yunzhou's medicinal bath pack.

All the disciples in the training ground of District Ding only receive two medicinal bath packs per month.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xie Yunzhou's face as he explained:

"Actually, although my father was just an ordinary accountant in the Fang family, he put a lot of effort into cultivating me from a young age."

"He actually bought quite a few of these medicated bath packs from the Fang family at a high price."

"The first few times I used this body-tempering bath pack, it was effective. But after using it more often, I found that it had almost no effect on improving my physical condition."

Fang Qing recalled that the more body-tempering bath packs he used, the less his physical condition improved.

Xie Yunzhou, whose talent for martial arts is not particularly high, probably developed a tolerance to the medicinal bath pack long ago.

"Then Fang Qing thanks you, Senior Brother."

Although Xie Yunzhou is currently only at the second level of Body Tempering.

However, he arrived a while earlier than Fang Qing, so Fang Qing still had to call him senior brother.

"If you need anything from me in your cultivation in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xie Yunzhou is a somewhat introverted person, but he is sincere.

Although the other senior brothers in the Shanhe Boxing Academy did not outwardly show any disdain for Fang Qing, who had entered the academy as a salt merchant, they were all somewhat unenthusiastic towards him.

After all, being able to enter the Mountain and River Boxing Academy meant that one's background was completely different from Fang Qing's previous status.

Xie Yunzhou would chat with Fang Qing whenever he had free time.

Just two days ago, he was even clamoring to go back to Jinsha Saltworks with Fang Qing to see how salt is made.

He also said that when there is no room for growth at the Shanhe Boxing Academy, he would become an accountant at the Jinsha Saltworks.

The next moment, Xie Yunzhou's face lit up with joy:

"I've been waiting for you to say that, Junior Brother Fang Qing. Actually, watching you practice on the wooden dummy every day, the crackling and popping sounds are quite impressive."

"It's much more interesting than us hitting boring punching bags."

"Junior brother, could you please instruct me on how to practice on this wooden dummy?"

Fang Qing didn't hold back when it came to Xie Yunzhou.

He simply brought Xie Yunzhou to his wooden dummy and instructed him on how to use them.

……

Over at the training ground in Zone A, is the area for the Fang family's own descendants.

Aside from Fang Wansan and a few of his fellow disciples who were on good terms with him, who came to congratulate Fang Qing.

Some of them remained in place, continuing their cultivation.

The trio, with Fang Chulan at the core, frowned as they watched Fang Qing instructing Xie Yunzhou on how to practice on the wooden dummy.

Fang Chulan couldn't help but purse his lips.

"It's just that I successfully changed my cultivation method; luckily, I've become a teacher!"

"In the world of martial arts, what does this little achievement amount to?"

"A frog in a well!"

However, it was quite obvious that Fang Chulan's gaze towards Fang Qing lacked some of its arrogance.
