#114 - Chapter 114 Tilt Resources

Zheng Ya was a charming woman with a slender figure, a beautiful face, and a bountiful chest. Coupled with her captivating eyes, she left Cheng Feng mesmerized.

In terms of beauty, she was on par with Cui'er and Chen Min.

However, in terms of figure, her assets were slightly larger than Cui'er's, but not as large as Cai'er's.

Cheng Feng was very satisfied with this.

Gold cannot be pure, and man cannot be perfect, right?

Once the Hongmen affair was settled, Cheng Feng naturally hastened to produce and hoard salt.

When Sui Ran left, he even asked Wang Hu to get more fine salt, as the wealthy families in the capital city had a great demand for it.

With money to be made, Wang Hu naturally wouldn't let it go, but he didn't agree outright, only saying that he would contact Sui Ran as soon as he had news.

When there would be goods was naturally up to Cheng Feng.

Wang Hu wasn't clear on the specific situation, only waiting for Cheng Feng to transport the goods, and then he would sell them to Sui Ran upon his order.

He stayed at home for two days, spending quality time with the women and his two sons.

On the third day, he began to work diligently in House Number One.

Cheng Feng waved his hand and directly ordered Wang Hu to purchase one hundred taels of coarse salt and send eight hundred men to move it to the Hongmen headquarters, which was formerly the Nie residence.

There were usually not many people at the headquarters, as the disciples were all training at the training base.

After fighting with the group of people that Sui Ran brought, the Hongmen disciples had also clearly understood their own level.

Without reaching the Strength Training stage, they were just ordinary people. Without using weapons and only relying on fists and feet, they were no match for Strength Training martial artists. In the last month, the disciples had been training frantically, and their yearning for strength had become even greater.

This reminded Cheng Feng of the red-scaled serpent beneath the Hongmen cave.

Its corpse had been completely utilized and broken down by Babai.

Its scales, four fangs, and flesh were all transported by Babai in batches to House Number One under the cover of night. Originally, he had planned to wait until this group of disciples was trained, and then select the backbone elites to feed them the serpent meat to increase their strength.

According to the Ghost Doctor's book, the meat of exotic beasts was a great supplement for martial artists.

However, later on, time became too tight, and the loyalty of the people had not been tested. Fortunately, Sui Ran's incident occurred, and none of these disciples retreated, which made Cheng Feng determined that it was time to accelerate the disciples' strength.

Cheng Feng was actually reluctant to eat the serpent meat, as it might have survived by eating human corpses.

However, he still wanted to try the effect of eating the meat himself to see the progress of his panel skills.

The red-scaled serpent wasn't a triangular-headed one, but a round-headed meat snake, non-venomous.

If it could accelerate his martial arts progress, it would be a good choice.

Cheng Feng tried the cooked serpent meat. It smelled fragrant and appetizing. After eating the serpent meat and circulating the Thunderous Blood Explosion Technique, he found that it had an effect, but not a great one.

Two large chunks of serpent meat, nearly a pound, only increased Cheng Feng's Fortune Points by one. The entire serpent's meat, when cut off, was only about two hundred pounds.

Cheng Feng estimated that he would only gain one hundred points after eating the entire snake, and he might not even reach the late stage of Blood Refining.

It seemed that it was more suitable for people in the early stages of martial arts, as it would speed up their progress.

Acting on his thoughts, Cheng Feng took a piece of serpent meat to Lao San and Qian Ming that afternoon. Qian Ming's strength and talent were worth investing in.

Moreover, Cheng Feng wanted to bring Qian Ming, who was in the late stage of Skin Refining, to the Hongmen's Hall of Offerings to be an offering, which would also be a guarantee for Hongmen.

Lao San naturally ate it with sweat all over his body and a flushed face. Cheng Feng told him to quickly practice his stance, so that he could absorb it better.

Among the many disciples in the martial arts hall, only Qian Ming caught Cheng Feng's eye. Da Niu and others who were familiar with him in the same period were no longer on the same path.

Cheng Feng told Qian Ming some things about Hongmen, vaguely indicating that he needed help.

The effect of the exotic beast meat directly made Qian Ming understand Cheng Feng's meaning in seconds.

However, Qian Ming still hesitated and said, "Brother Cheng, how can I face the martial arts hall like this? How can I face the master in the future!"

Seeing Qian Ming's expression, Cheng Feng knew there was a chance, and smiled, "Of course I know your feelings for the martial arts hall, and the reason I'm asking you to go to Hongmen is also to help me train those new disciples. You are definitely good at teaching disciples. Help me guide these new disciples. It's just for a month, one two-pound piece of exotic beast meat every ten days. This can be considered a part-time job. After all, martial artists consume a lot, and besides, you have just entered the late stage of Skin Refining, and perfection is in sight. Eating more exotic beast meat can also speed up your progress. Don't you want to enter Blood Refining as soon as possible?"

Hearing about six pounds of meat a month without having to leave the martial arts hall, Qian Ming readily agreed. It was just a part-time job for a month, and this was feasible.

So, in the last month, the Hongmen disciples also ushered in an explosive period of strength. With Qian Ming's guidance and the red-scaled serpent's meat, the Hongmen disciples, who were ordinary people, ate it with sweat all over their bodies, full of energy, and worked harder to practice their boxing stances. With the addition of resources, they could practice the boxing stances three times a day, whereas before they could only practice once before their bodies couldn't handle it.

Cheng Feng was also very willing to invest in the first batch of disciples.

Almost everyone got two pounds, which was not a small amount.

This made Qian Ming speechless. The serpent meat was very beneficial to martial artists in the late stage of Skin Refining. Was he going to train everyone into martial artists by feeding it to ordinary people?

Cheng Feng's generosity made Qian Ming re-evaluate him.

The bodies of ordinary people had not been exercised for a long time. With the supplementation of resources, it depended on their talent.

Sixty pounds of meat, two pounds a day, stewed into soup with medicinal herbs for every meal, was already considered a good dilution.

Cheng Feng directly bought forty taels of medicinal herbs for warming and replenishing qi and blood just for the herbs.

This bowl of medicinal meat soup, when released, was no different from the medicinal soup in the martial arts hall, and was even more nourishing. All of it was used in this month to let this group of disciples use it to their heart's content.

Wang Hu was given twenty pounds of serpent meat, and Sun Gui and Zhou Hai were naturally given ten pounds each by Cheng Feng in private, as a reward and also as an incentive.

In this way, Cheng Feng had two hundred pounds of exotic beast meat, leaving ninety-two pounds.

This meat was prepared for the women in the family.

Exotic beast meat does not rot easily and has a long storage time. It can be said that the fresher it is, the greater the effect.

Cheng Feng asked himself that he had preserved it well, so there was no need to worry about it.

Xiao Ling, Xiao Fang, and Mao Mao, the three women who worked at home, should also practice martial arts.

Cheng Feng had to see if the carefully selected good seedlings for martial arts were true or not, right?

Chen Zhu also had to practice at home, starting from a young age, one was counted as one.

The Mountain Crushing Fist, as displayed on the panel, was almost mastered.

At his current level, teaching the women was effortless.

The arrangements were one after another. Sui Ran's arrival was not only a crisis, but also an opportunity.

A good time to unite the Hongmen disciples.

After arranging the matters, Cheng Feng quickly went to make fine salt.

He worked for two consecutive days and made fifty pounds of fine salt.

In order not to arouse Sui Ran's suspicion, Cheng Feng still transported and sold it in batches of ten pounds each time.

Back and forth, Cheng Feng only saw the silver in his hands rising.

He sold it three times a month, earning two hundred taels each time, for a total of six hundred taels a month.

This made the silver in Cheng Feng's hands more and more, and his confidence also became more and more sufficient.

Cheng Feng had always been in charge of the gang's expenses, and no one would say much.

Until the end of this month, Hongmen finally ended the training of the first batch of disciples.

Under Cheng Feng's full resource allocation, everyone was in the early stage of Strength Training.

After all, in terms of talent, these people's roots were not bad, but they had started learning martial arts late.

With resources, they could be considered to have entered the ranks of martial artists.

This put some pressure on Sun Gui and Zhou Hai.
