This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

"One dose of the Wolf Smoke Elixir caused my Qi and blood to surge fivefold, enough to cover the skin of my upper body!"

After refining the precious pill, Ye Chu could sense that most of the medicinal power and the blood-red patterns had altered the nature of his qi and blood, allowing him to control their gathering and dispersal at will.

However, Qi and blood can currently only circulate within the body's flesh and blood. Only after breaking through the blood barrier can one attempt to leave the body.

Then, when his cultivation level advances further and his total blood and qi increase, he will try to condense real blood and qi smoke, and then attempt to fly!

[Skill: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner Level: 13/20)]

With Bao Dan's encouragement, the standing meditation skill also increased by 11 points!

"It seems Master Nie was right, early-stage cultivation depends on resources..."

Ye Chu finished his stance training and went to the courtyard to look at the bright moon in the night sky.

Now that the Yang family has their eyes on me again, I don't need to be stingy with the little money I have. From now on, I'll have the Longhu Hall kitchen staff give me an extra meal in the afternoon, and I'll have Ji Meng cut pork every day and give me an extra meal in the middle of the night!

eat!

Only by eating well can one cultivate oneself well.

Only by cultivating well and mastering martial arts can one better prevent accidents, deter villains, remove the Ghost Hand Mark, and even achieve immortality.

The next morning,

Ye Chu visited all three butcher shops in Xicheng that supplied the martial arts school and collected 2.7 points of Unclaimed Time Dao Rhyme.

【Root bone: 14】

【Time and Rhythm: 11.2】

He has finally accumulated more than 10 points of Time Dao Rhyme, which will represent more than 100 seconds of time stop!

As long as you don't cause trouble or encounter any old monsters, you'll have more than enough to protect yourself.

"The collected Time Dao Essence can then be used to add skill points!"

When they went to the Longhu Hall kitchen for breakfast,

Ye Chu noticed that Han Heng was still occasionally letting out silly giggles, reminiscing about the moment he reached the clouds last night.

"Brother Han, how were you last night?"

"Ah, so comfortable, a feeling I've never experienced before, so high above the clouds! What a pity, you..."

Han Heng stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

He just got married last night; Ye Chu had a wife when he was a child.

How could Ye Chu not know about the joy here?

Talking too much will only make you look incompetent!

The pleasures of this boudoir should not be shared with outsiders!

morning,

Third Senior Brother Qi Feixing made another symbolic visit, teaching the stance training twice before saying, "The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual." From now on, he would only come to the front courtyard once every five days to answer any questions.

Of the remaining four, only Niu San managed to memorize the stance training without much effort, Ji Shan and Yang Dayong barely remembered eight or nine tenths, and only Yang Shuisheng, who had the worst physique, only remembered more than half of the content.

After his third senior brother Qi Feixing left, Yang Heng became furious:

"Yang Shuisheng, are you a good-for-nothing? Your family is paying for your martial arts training and you still can't learn it. You're not even as good as some outsiders!"

Yang Shuisheng was verbally abused mercilessly, but he only dared to lower his head and continue to endure the insults, without daring to refute them at all.

He was the master's illegitimate son, unloved by his father and mother since childhood, and he has only survived to this day by being extremely cautious!

It was only because Huang Tianguan said that Yang Heng would become a martial arts graduate in the future that his wife was not afraid of him usurping the throne, and was willing to help him so that he could contribute to the family for the rest of his life!

That was originally his plan.

But the greatest suffering in life is that just when hope is given, it slowly slips away through your fingers...

Despair is born when eyes close and tears fall.

After noon,

Ji Shan and Yang Dayong finally memorized the stance training and were able to practice it on their own.

But Yang Shuisheng was unable to learn it all...

In the late afternoon,

Han Heng actually ate a piece of the exotic beast jerky in a very extravagant manner, and even broke off a piece for Ye Chu to taste.

As for the taste, although it has a fishy and muttony smell, the texture is firm but not tough. The more you chew, the more a mellow and lingering heat penetrates into your internal organs and bones, quickly soothing your physical fatigue and replenishing the essence consumed during the training.

"This is good stuff!" Ye Chu exclaimed, holding a bowl of pork.

"Yes, now I know what good resources really are!" Han Heng said with a hint of pride, but then added regretfully, "It's a pity you didn't agree to this last night, otherwise you would have had a share of this wealth. If all else fails, I can act as a go-between and ask around for you again?"

Ye Chu shook his head slightly.

Then, Wei Lin, the old apprentice who had been diligently cultivating in the front yard and rarely spoke, suddenly walked up to Yang Heng.

"Brother Yang, I'd like to discuss something with you, what do you think?"

Wei Lin adopted a very humble posture when speaking.

However, such low-key and honest people usually have a very low profile and then gradually disappear.

Today, it was as if the sun had risen in the west, as it was rare to see Wei Lin speak. Many people in the outer courtyard were eavesdropping to hear what this honest man was up to.

Is it seeking refuge?

Is he speaking up for Yang Shuisheng?

Or are they going to do something explosive?

Yang Shuisheng, who was being reprimanded by Yang Heng again, was also somewhat apprehensive.

He doesn't need outsiders to speak up for him; he just needs to let the young master scold him to his heart's content and not kick him out!

This is all he has left with, this small wish...

"Spit it out!"

Yang Heng felt tired from time to time today, saw many seemingly real dragons roaring, and felt a strange disgust and murderous intent towards Han Heng and the fledgling bird!

So he would vent his frustrations on Yang Shuisheng, who could hit and scold him at will.

Wei Lin chose the perfect time; his anger had just subsided.

"Brother Yang, I saw Shui Sheng..."

"No, I don't need you to speak up for me, get out of my way!"

Yang Shuisheng's tense mind was suddenly broken by Wei Lin's provocation, and he was so angry that he trembled all over and wanted to drive Wei Lin away!

"Oh? You want to speak up for him?"

Yang Heng pressed down on Yang Shuisheng's neck with some dissatisfaction. He wanted to hear why Yang Shuisheng was so popular.

Even the notorious, invisible man in the front yard has to speak up for this illegitimate child?

Wei Lin brushed aside Yang Shuisheng's pulled-open sleeve and shook his head, saying:

"No, what I mean is that Yang Shuisheng hasn't memorized the entire stance training yet, and it's unlikely that he'll break through the blood barrier by the time the three months are up!"

"But the martial arts school won't refund the money, and your Yang family's investment in him will be lost. How about I buy Yang Shuisheng's remaining food and medicine supplies at the martial arts school at a discounted price? What do you think?"

Ruthless!

Cut off the fuel supply at the root!

After those two thoughts popped into Yang Shuisheng's head, he scared himself so badly that he fainted.

Yang Heng originally intended to protect his own people and was prepared to tell Wei Lin to get lost!

But before he could say anything, Yang Shuisheng fainted.

They're hopeless!

The word "get lost" that was about to burst from his lips fell back, replaced by a soft sigh:

"Fine, who can he blame if he doesn't fight for it himself? I can offer you a discounted price, but how much are you willing to pay?"

"Of the ten taels for admission, four taels are for apprenticeship, and the remaining six taels are for food and medicine. But Yang Shuisheng has already drunk a bowl of herbal nourishing soup... I'll pay three taels and five mace!"

Wei Lin originally wanted to ask for three taels, but Yang Heng was not short of money. If he refused to sell because the price was too low, wouldn't that be awkward?

In addition, although the basic meals in the martial arts school's kitchen are filling, the bowl of meat at noon is the key!

Furthermore, the herbal medicines prepared by the martial arts school's pharmacy are never shortchanged or substandard, and their quality is generally 10-20% higher than that of other pharmacies!

That's why he was willing to buy food and medicine at a discount.

Buying it is like making a profit!

At this moment, Yang Shuisheng slowly woke up again.
