#48 - Chapter 48: Inside the Martial Arts Hall

Wang Tieshan had been practicing martial arts for almost a month.

He had spent more than twenty days after the New Year at the martial arts hall.

The acquisition of Fortune Points returned to normal.

Continuing to try for pregnancy also carried some risk.

Cheng Feng also bought sausage casings to try, but the panel didn't react at all.

This made Cheng Feng realize that he didn't need to buy sausage casings in the future.

Sausage casings weren't cheap either.

He would save a sum of money in the future.

Cheng Feng felt that his current foundation was like water without roots.

He only had thirty-three taels left, and eleven pills remained from what he had bought.

Thirty taels were kept at the bottom of the chest.

Twenty taels of which were for Lao San to practice martial arts.

Cheng Feng had inquired; if he added some money, the martial arts hall would provide food and lodging for the children.

One tael per month, with meat at every meal.

This was basically the choice of those who had money; giving more money meant the children also had a bed to sleep on during the midday break.

Those with the means would naturally return home in the evening.

Or those who had no backing in the family could just pay an extra tael of silver to avoid trouble.

It was the same old rule: if you needed it, say so in advance, and pay the silver in advance.

Cheng Feng planned to arrange it this way for Cheng Lei.

Lao San might not necessarily have his own talent for martial arts.

The martial arts hall was very tolerant of underage children.

They were even extremely welcome.

As long as you had money, entering the Body Tempering realm before adulthood was fine.

Of course, full board and lodging was three taels per month, paid monthly or annually.

They did things for money; if you didn't have money, don't even bother opening your mouth. The martial arts hall wasn't running a charity.

It was truly a case of the drought-stricken dying of thirst, and the waterlogged drowning.

Lao San was 14 years old this year.

Early exposure to martial arts was the right path.

Cheng Feng wasn't clear about Lao San's aptitude.

He estimated that it probably wasn't very good.

He himself had confidence in the panel.

Lao San wasn't necessarily the same.

If he really didn't have aptitude like others, he would at most reach the Skin Tempering realm.

Relying on himself to temper blood was basically impossible.

If he had a little bit of aptitude,

Then it would also be very costly.

Cheng Feng already had a plan in mind.

In the situation where he didn't have martial arts resources,

All he could give Lao San was money.

The eldest brother is like a father.

As Cheng Lei's second brother,

Cheng Feng had a reason to help his own younger brother.

Give his younger brother a good environment.

Have a reasonable plan.

14 years old

Was considered a little late.

Some family disciples started martial arts enlightenment around the age of 8.

Practicing in the cold of winter and the heat of summer,

Just to lay a deep foundation for martial arts,

So that they could go further in the future.

According to Cheng Feng's current progress,

In three years, or even less,

Cheng Feng could add points to the max.

Then he could start his expansion plan.

According to what he had learned from his master,

In the county town, the Bone Tempering realm was basically the peak.

Blood Tempering were the backbone.

Organ Tempering realm was basically the level of ancestors.

But for Wang Tieshan, who had been rooted in Qingxi County for more than twenty years,

This level of expert would basically not stay in a small county town.

If you want to go further,

The resources of a small county town are not enough.

Only the prefecture city has the resources to advance to the Organ Tempering realm.

The further you go in martial arts, the harder it gets.

The required resources are extremely large.

Not to mention the special resources required for later cultivation methods.

Wang Tieshan deeply felt this.

But Cheng Feng didn't have that feeling.

Cheng Feng didn't know what would happen under the drive of the panel.

Everything remains to be seen in the future.

But now, Cheng Feng looked at his ninth senior brother, Zhang Zhuo.

"You want to treat me to a meal????"

Zhang Zhuo was very relaxed and nodded: "Yes, junior brother, I wanted to spar with you before, but I was interrupted by the eldest senior sister and the second senior brother. I never thought that after the New Year, the master would take another disciple. I didn't expect it to be you. We senior brothers are so destined, shouldn't we get close?"

Cheng Feng was speechless. What's with sparring as soon as we meet?

Are you sure you're not bullying the small?

I had just entered the Body Tempering realm at that time, okay?

Faced with Zhang Zhuo's rascality, Cheng Feng was just speechless = _ =

But he also had a slight affection for Zhang Zhuo, who had led him in.

An old acquaintance after all.

Moreover, he really needed some information channels.

According to the hall master, this Zhang Zhuo was also a member of the Zhang family.

If that was really the case,

He had to befriend him well.

Cheng Feng didn't deny his utilitarianism.

But if having a clear goal and going straight without detours is called utilitarianism, then Cheng Feng had nothing to say.

Cheng Feng's nature was straightforward and he didn't want to be roundabout.

Being straight also has its advantages.

At least he was comfortable.

In his previous life's family education,

The four words "upright and honest" were the teachings his parents gave him in his previous life.

Cheng Feng had always practiced them.

He lived an ordinary life, with ordinary achievements, just an ordinary person.

But at least he had nothing to regret.

Cheng Feng also understood the ways of the world, but he felt that he didn't need them.

He couldn't look up to those with high status, and he didn't need those with low status. He didn't need to ask anyone for anything.

That's how he went through ups and downs.

Now Cheng Feng had needs.

Medical skill information needs.

In this backward Da Zhou,

Cheng Feng was only satisfied with one thing, and that was the system of three wives and four concubines.

As for the others, sorry, Cheng Feng looked down on them all.

It's just that Cheng Feng himself was struggling in the mortal world.

He didn't have time to think so much.

But soon, Cheng Feng felt that he was superficial.

He agreed to Zhang Zhuo's invitation

To enhance the relationship between senior and junior brothers.

Cheng Feng was then brought by Zhang Zhuo to the largest restaurant in Qingxi County.

Li's Restaurant Group --- Hongyun Restaurant.

Hongyun Restaurant had six floors, which was considered a local landmark.

Just the appearance looked magnificent and tall.

Cheng Feng found it hard to imagine that in ancient times, such a tall wooden restaurant wouldn't collapse?

Zhang Zhuo introduced Cheng Feng's surprise: "This is the number one restaurant in Qingxi County, a century-old brand."

Just a restaurant that's nearly a hundred years old.

Cheng Feng became more and more curious about the deep heritage of the owner behind this restaurant — the Li family.

He followed Zhang Zhuo into the restaurant, and was stunned by the extremely luxurious decoration inside as soon as he entered.

I saw that the hall was antique and carved with beams and painted buildings,

The floor was covered with thick velvet carpets, and the walls were covered with valuable calligraphy and paintings;

The tables and chairs were all made of high-quality wood and carved with exquisite patterns;

Above the head hung a row of gorgeous silver ancient lamps, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

Not only that, but even the service staff were dressed in brocade clothes, with a humble and polite attitude, making people feel like they were in a palace.

All of this opened Cheng Feng's eyes and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the Li family's strength and wealth.

It was also a feeling of one-sidedness about his own vision.

Cheng Feng in his previous life was just an ordinary person.

If Zhang Zhuo's identity was changed to modern times, he would also be the son of a commercial family with a century-old heritage.

That was the top son that Cheng Feng had never come into contact with in his last life.

Zhang Zhuo found a seat by the window and ordered a rich table of dishes.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the topic of conversation between the two gradually deepened.

After Zhang Zhuo learned that Cheng Feng wanted to learn medical skills, he patted his chest to ensure that he would help him pay attention to medical news.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhuo introduced the Li family to Cheng Feng. It turned out that the Li family not only had a huge influence in business, but also had a reputation in the martial arts world.

It is said that the old man of the Li family is already a master of the Bone Tempering realm, and is a local hegemon in Qingxi County

Cheng Feng thought, that's right

If you only have money but no martial protection, wouldn't it be swallowed up?

Chatting and asking for advice, the senior and junior brothers showed brotherly respect and humility

Cheng Feng had something to ask for, so naturally his attitude would not be high

Zhang Zhuo was also here to connect relationships

It was better for Cheng Feng to ask for something

Back and forth, the atmosphere was very good

Unfortunately, with a sound of the door opening

I saw a young man in a gorgeous yellow robe breaking in

The beautiful atmosphere was instantly destroyed
