Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

"It's you!"

Zhou An's eyes flickered as he watched the outer disciples approaching.

The person in front of me is none other than Young Master Chen, who yesterday made the ever-double-standard owner Xu Tai personally take the stage.

That rich guy from Chen's Trading Company.

"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhou would still remember me."

Seeing Zhou An's rather shocked expression, Chen Wen said with a look of delight.

"It's hard not to remember you."

After muttering this to himself, Zhou An couldn't help but recall Xu Hongyu's earlier instructions.

"I wonder what brings you here, Junior Brother?"

"My name is Chen Wen. My father is the head of the Chen family business. I called you here today to ask if you would like to take up a position at my family's business."

Although the monthly salary I offer is less than that of my senior brother Fang, I can decide to give him 20 taels of silver and five catties of rhinoceros meat every month.

If Senior Brother Zhou feels that there isn't enough rhinoceros meat, I can buy some for him at a 20% discount.

However, I have a small request: I hope you can guide me more in my future cultivation.

Meeting Zhou An's gaze, Chen Wen stated his purpose frankly, his eyes full of unwavering enthusiasm.

"If Junior Brother Chen wants someone to guide him in martial arts, we are very willing to do so."

"That's right. Our Zhengyang Martial Arts School values ​​mutual help and assistance. We will never ignore a junior brother's request for help."

Before Zhou An could speak, a group of inner disciples not far from the two of them perked up their ears and their eyes immediately turned red.

Twenty taels of silver and ten catties of rhinoceros meat—how come all the good things fell on this kid's head?

They are clearly the senior brothers; if anyone should be giving guidance, it should be them.

Money is a minor matter; these senior brothers don't really care about it.

But, Junior Brother Chen, could you perhaps pay more attention to us?

"Thank you all for your kindness, senior brothers. If I have any questions in the future, I will definitely ask you all for guidance."

Despite saying that, Chen Wen's gaze never left Zhou An from beginning to end.

He may be rich, but he's not stupid.

Although this Senior Brother Zhou An only became an inner disciple yesterday, his ability to learn the Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Sword so quickly and to defeat the镖师 (bodyguards) of Shunfeng镖局 (escort agency) today are enough to prove that he is extraordinary.

After successfully becoming an apprentice yesterday, he has been practicing Tiger-Taming Fist diligently at home.

I thought that with my intelligence, those simple moves would be a piece of cake.

Even today, he still struggles to make it.

This left Chen Wen feeling somewhat frustrated.

However, having been beaten by his older brother for many years, he has a strong ability to self-regulate.

His idea was simple: as long as he found an even more talented person to teach him, he would eventually become a genius himself.

"Junior brother's terms are indeed quite good, but I wonder what I would need to do at Chen's Trading Company if I agreed?"

Zhou An glanced at the group of inner disciples behind him and became interested.

20 taels of silver and 10 catties of rhinoceros meat; if that's not enough, I can buy more for you.

This junior brother Chen in front of me is really a little money god.

"With such abundant resources, I should be able to reach the first stage of Qi and Blood Transformation soon."

Zhou An thought to himself.

"Although my Chen Family Trading Company is not a professional escort agency, we usually escort supplies between different outer cities."

Of course, if the senior brother finds it troublesome, he can also choose to sit in the shop.

As long as my senior brother sincerely teaches me fist and sword techniques without holding back, everything is negotiable.

Chen Wen said with a frank expression.

"Alright, I will consider this matter carefully and will definitely give my junior brother an answer within three days."

Before this, if you have any questions about fist techniques or swordsmanship, please feel free to ask me.

Zhou An nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou. There are indeed some things I don't understand about the boxing techniques..."

Upon hearing Zhou An agree, Chen Wen excitedly thanked him and immediately began gesturing on the spot.

Let's go somewhere else.

Zhou An waved his hand and walked outside.

If he stayed here... he was afraid that the inner disciples behind him would be so jealous their eyes would practically pop out of their sockets.

This is not good.

He always respected the elderly and cared for the young, how could he bear to see his fellow disciples coughing up blood?

"Alright."

Seeing the group of eager inner disciples not far away, Chen Wen was afraid that he would bite off more than he could chew, so he quickly followed them.

Before long, the two arrived at the open space in front of the pharmacy.

"Let's do it here."

After glancing at the closed pharmacy, Zhou An signaled to Chen Wen that they could begin.

The latter was also decisive.

The moment he finished speaking, he immediately assumed a fighting stance.

The attitude was very serious, but... it was more or less appalling.

"Junior Brother Chen is indeed very talented, but in practicing boxing, haste makes waste. Blindly pursuing techniques will only lead to inferior results."

After Chen Wen stumbled through the first round of punches, Zhou An took a deep breath and forced a smile.

Is this really true?

Chen Wen looked suspicious.

"That's what my bodyguard said too, but..."

He didn't say anything more, but it was clear he didn't believe it.

"The Tiger-Taming Fist prioritizes stance training, which is the foundation of all its techniques."

I practiced stance training diligently until my limbs were strong enough to quickly master the moves and then enter the blood refining stage.

When my junior brother can stand in one spot for an hour without his legs trembling, just like me, then mastering the Tiger-Taming Fist will naturally follow.

As he spoke, Zhou An immediately began to demonstrate.

"I wonder how long it took Senior Brother Zhou to reach the Blood Refining Realm?"

Seeing that Zhou An didn't seem to be faking it, Chen Wen felt relieved and then asked.

"Six months."

Zhou An raised one finger.

"what!"

"The reason I took half a year is because I was poor, but you, junior brother, do not have such a weakness."

Because you have a level of financial power that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

In my opinion, you should be able to meet my requirements for stance training in at most a month.

Seeing Chen Wen's expression change from disbelief to delight, Zhou An put away his stance.

"Let's start practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation). I will explain the core points of Zhan Zhuang to you."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou."

This stop lasts for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

During this time, Chen Wen's legs trembled and he was covered in sweat.

However, whenever this happens, Zhou An, who is practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist on the side, will stop and use his own strength to help relieve the soreness in his leg muscles.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

【Tiger Subduing Fist: (Perfect 58/1000)】

"My two junior brothers are indeed diligent."

When the progress of the Tiger Subduing Fist technique increased from 5 points to 58 points, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

Zhou An looked in the direction of the sound.

Then Guo Tao and Uncle Fu walked over together.

"Senior Brother Guo, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Meeting their gazes, Zhou An withdrew his fist and stood up, reaching out to help Chen Wen, who was almost collapsing to the ground, and said loudly.
