Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Li Nian's boiling blood surged forth from his claws.

boom!

The violent blood energy exploded like a resounding bell, and the mere attack caused the eardrums of several nearby disciples to feel as if they were about to burst. In pain, they instinctively covered their ears.

"Sky Eagle Stake - Claw-Splitting Chest-Tearing!"

With a low shout, Li Nian, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, plunged his ten fingers deep into the chest of the wooden stake, and then suddenly tore it apart.

Click!

Splash!

Two pieces of wood, each the size of a plate, were forcibly torn apart from the chest of the solid wood stake, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Two shocking, deep claw marks remained on the wooden stake.

It's not over yet.

Li Nian did not follow the normal order of the Heavenly Eagle Stance, but instead unleashed all the moves and techniques of the perfect Heavenly Eagle Stance.

Although the order was random, the whole process was smooth and efficient, without any delay, just as the Eagle Stakes were supposed to be in this order.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!

Under the influence of the Sky Eagle Stake, the wooden stake continuously emitted brutal tearing sounds.

Before half a cup of tea was finished, the intact wooden stake was broken into pieces, and the yard was full of wood chips and sawdust.

On the larger pieces of wood, there were still clear and sharp claw marks, as if they had been ravaged by a vicious eagle.

The audience was silent.

The dozens of disciples from the outer courtyard were all dumbfounded and terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

Is this some kind of blood cultivation technique?

Gu Jingsong and Xia Qingwei, who were disciples of the inner court, were also stunned.

Both are blood cultivators and both practice the Heavenly Eagle Stance.

No.

Blood training also has different levels.

They had been engaged in Blood Refinement for a long time and had reached the peak of Blood Refinement, with one foot already in Bone Refinement.

Li Nian, on the other hand, was only at the initial stage of Blood Refining.

Ask yourself.

They couldn't even match the power of the Eagle Stake that Li Nian just used!

Gu Jinsong's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his heart filled with horror:

"My second senior sister said he has exceptional comprehension; he mastered the Heavenly Eagle Stance in just half a month, reaching a minor level of proficiency, yet its power is even more terrifying than my fully mastered version!"

"Could it be that Junior Brother has already perfected the Heavenly Eagle Stance?"

"A perfect two weeks..."

"The Heavenly Eagle Stance I practiced must be fake! Yes, that's right, it must be!"

Beside her, Xia Qingwei's beautiful eyes trembled.

"Junior Brother Li doesn't follow the normal Eagle Stance moves, yet his fluency is comparable to my fully mastered Eagle Stance."

"Its power is slightly greater than mine."

"If nothing unexpected happens, my junior brother... has already perfected the Sky Eagle Stance!"

At the same time, the leaders of various factions in the guest seats all stood up and exclaimed in surprise.

"What an overbearing blood cultivation technique!"

"This child doesn't follow the prescribed order of techniques, yet he uses them so smoothly and with such power. His Heavenly Eagle Stance is probably beyond the Great Perfection level!"

"Half a month of martial arts training, and he's mastered the Eagle Stance! This kid is truly a monster!"

"Qin Geyue is a prodigy. Even after half a year of practicing Blood Refinement, he wasn't as capable as this kid. Qin Yun Martial Arts School has struck gold!"

The Five Outstanding Figures of Qianhu are known to all.

Leaving aside Yi Linchuan, who has already passed away.

The people in the county are ranked according to their combat strength, comprehension, and ability to open the Blood Gate: Zhang Jinghu, Bai Fengjia, Su Jingheng, and Qin Geyue.

Within these three criteria, Qin Geyue is number one in the other two, except for combat strength.

Their combat strength is weak because they are young and lack experience.

Qin Geyue is four years younger than Su Jingheng, who is the second youngest.

If we consider the same age group, Qin Geyue would undoubtedly be number one!

now.

Li Nian surpasses Qin Geyue in both the time it took to open the Blood Gate and her comprehension.

No wonder everyone was so shocked.

Amidst gasps of amazement, Li Nian slowly withdrew from her stance and humbly clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"I've made a fool of myself."

Making a fool of myself?

Is this supposed to be a blunder?

The dozens of outer disciples felt extremely uncomfortable, as if they had eaten something filthy.

"Li Nian, do you recognize me?"

A burly man spoke first.

"Hello, Butler Zhang."

Li Nianchao clasped his hands in a fist salute to the man.

As a former fisherman of the Zhang family, I would often go to the Zhang family on business, so I naturally recognized the steward, Zhang Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, his brows furrowed with delight.

"Li Nian, your ancestors were all fishermen in the Zhang family, so you are considered part of the Zhang family."

"Now that you have joined the Qinyun Martial Arts School and opened the Blood Gate, our Zhang family is also honored."

"Our Zhang family has always been considerate of our own people, and we are sincerely looking for a replacement."

"A guest retainer of the Zhang family receives a monthly stipend of five taels of silver, ten catties of meat, five servings of blood-nourishing medicinal meals, plus one Blood-Nourishing Pill!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples gasped in shock.

Five taels of monthly allowance and ten catties of meat are considered a good deal among blood-training martial artists.

the most important is.

There are also blood-nourishing medicinal diets and blood-nourishing pills!

Blood and Qi decoctions and blood and Qi medicinal diets differ by only one character, but their effects are worlds apart.

The decoction is made by boiling precious medicinal herbs and has the effect of replenishing qi and blood.

Medicinal cuisine is made by simmering precious fish, precious beasts, and precious plants as medicinal ingredients.

One dose of blood-nourishing medicinal diet is equivalent to ten doses of blood-nourishing decoction, and is worth five qian (approximately 15 grams).

Five doses of Qi and Blood-nourishing medicinal diet consist of two and a half ounces.

As for Qi and Blood Pills...

It is a pill made primarily from precious fish, precious beasts, and precious plants.

The efficacy of ordinary Qi and Blood Pills is nearly five times higher than that of medicinal diets, and they are also easier to absorb, which is of great benefit to martial artists.

Qi Xue Dan (a type of Qi and Blood Pill) is in short supply in Qianhu County, and one pill can sell for five taels of silver.

In total, the monthly allowance provided by the Zhang family to Li Nian was around thirteen taels.

This is considered top-tier treatment among Blood Cultivation Warriors!

This isn't recruiting guest advisors; it's clearly worshipping a great Buddha!

Zhang Yuan's words completely dispelled the idea of ​​recruiting Li Nian from the small factions.

The leaders of the other major forces were also cursing in secret.

The Zhang family offered such good terms, and Li Nian was once a fisherman for the Zhang family. If they want to recruit Li Nian, they must offer a higher price than the Zhang family.

Although the price was high, they all witnessed Li Nian's capabilities.

If the Zhang family wins them over, it will only lead to their rise and our fall.

"Brother Li."

The Hua family steward spoke first.

"Our Hua family has a blacksmith shop in the inner city, and we are in need of a military officer to oversee it."

"If you come, I promise you a monthly salary of five taels of silver, six servings of blood-nourishing medicinal cuisine, and any weapon you may choose from the shop. If your weapon is damaged, I will repair it for free!"

"Furthermore, if you come to my Hua family, your young niece can study at our private school for free!"

These words caused another uproar at the scene.

"Senior Brother Li, say yes!"

"Damn, I'm so envious!"

"What are you still thinking about? You're driving me crazy!"

Li Nian's heart stirred.

The Hua family's skills are in no way inferior to the Zhang family's.

Weapons and elixirs are both valuable items, and their prices are roughly the same.

more importantly.

The Hua family investigated his family and offered him targeted benefits, showing their sincerity.

That said, my niece Duoduo has reached the age to attend a private school.

I had been practicing martial arts and forgot about this.

As I was lost in thought, a man dressed as a constable stepped forward.

"Brother Li, guest advisors and retainers are all dependent on others; if they want rewards or honors, they have to be subservient to those people."

"Things will be different if you come to our county government office."

"The rules of the government are transparent, and we have always publicly promised the rewards and honors for our work."

"With your talent, you are sure to achieve great things in the future."

The man's tone was upright and unyielding.

The man paused, then continued:

"In terms of treatment, the county government has never been afraid of anyone."

"Come here, I'll give you fifteen taels of silver as a monthly wage and ten catties of lean meat. It's lean meat, not ordinary meat."

"Six medicinal meals are included as a complimentary gift, along with the Bright Vitality Pill and Blood Essence Pill!"

Hearing the man's words, Li Nian's heart fluttered wildly.

He had always wanted to join the county government, and now that the county government was offering such good conditions, it was exactly what he wanted!
