In addition, in the past half a month, in order to ensure the efficiency of martial arts practice and delay the consumption of the Emerald Wind Powder and poisonous mushrooms, he had no choice but to add meat to his lunch and dinner.
At that time, there were not many meat tokens left. He had no choice but to buy meat with silver. With his current consumption of blood energy, his appetite had also increased greatly. Eating meat was too expensive.
In just half a month, he had swallowed more than two taels of silver!
If he ate freely, his monthly allowance would not be enough!
"I can't eat like this anymore. I've already become an assistant instructor. It shouldn't be a problem for me to get a guarantee, right?
"I have to go to the Blood Drop Cave that Pang Tong mentioned as soon as possible and buy some poison to replenish my blood energy. Otherwise, this money won't last long."
Stepping on the moonlight, he arrived at the entrance of Instruction Yard. The guard was a disciple, and the word "Wei" was embroidered on his clothes.
Lin Yan showed his teacher's token. The disciple of Wei Yard bowed respectfully and let Lin Yan in.
When he arrived outside his new house, Lin Yan saw someone standing at the door, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
When he saw Lin Yan return, he immediately ran over. "Junior Brother Lin, I've finally found you!!"
"Senior Brother Pang? Why are you here?"
It was Pang Tong.
Pang Tong revealed a miserable expression. "You don't even know how much effort I put in to find you!"
He had something urgent to discuss with Lin Yan. He first went to Lin Yan's dormitory and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
After waiting for a long time, he casually pushed the lock and pushed the door open. Only then did he realize that the room was empty.
Then, he went out and met the disciples of Wu Yard who had just returned from the martial arts arena. They were enthusiastically talking about Lin Yan knocking over Mi Tai. After asking, he found out that Lin Yan had already entered the Instruction Yard!
He had heard this news from his father in advance, so he wasn't surprised. However, he didn't know where Lin Yan lived!
He could only hurry over to the administrator's office to ask, but it was no longer office hours.
He had no choice but to go around in circles and find Eldest Senior Brother. Only then did he know where Lin Yan lived and he had been waiting until now.
"Senior Brother Pang, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
"Of course, I'm taking you to meet Senior Sister Chen. Go, go, go, quickly follow me! I handed your test paper to Senior Sister Chen. The answers were all correct! I even told Senior Sister Chen that you wrote the answers all in less than an incense stick of time!
"When Senior Sister Chen heard this, she insisted that I bring you to her immediately to verify it."
Lin Yan looked at Xiaozhi and frowned slightly. "Senior Brother Pang, it's too late. I haven't tidied up at home. Do you think we should go tomorrow?"
"Junior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Chen said that if you really have such an amazing computational ability, she will immediately acknowledge you as her teacher and pay you at least 100 copper coins per lesson. Moreover, based on your ability, the highest you can get is 500 copper coins per lesson!"
A hundred copper coins per lesson? The highest was five hundred copper coins?
One lesson was equivalent to two months of his salary!
Lin Yan's eyes lit up.
Pang Tong continued, "Senior Sister Chen's family runs a bank and she treats money like dirt. If you're really capable enough, she'll definitely give you 500 copper coins a lesson!"
Lin Yan carried Xiaozhi and turned to walk out.
After taking a few steps, he turned around and realized that Pang Tong was stunned and did not follow him.
"Senior Brother Pang? What are you waiting for? Lead the way!"
Pang Tong: "…"
Earning money was not embarrassing.
The two of them walked out in a hurry.
However, there was still some distance between them and Dragon Yard. They chatted casually as they walked.
"Junior Brother Lin, how much money do you charge for becoming an assistant instructor in Wu Yard?"
"Two taels of silver a month."
Pang Tong clicked his tongue. "That's really not much money. Even the weakest martial artist guards get three taels of silver a month. If you're a Strength Realm martial artist who's good at martial arts, you can even get more than ten taels a month."
Lin Yan asked, "Is the salary very low?"
Pang Tong changed the topic. "From the numbers alone, it's low, but don't think it's too little. To be honest, the price isn't low."
Lin Yan patted the sleepy Xiaozhi. "What do you mean?"
"This job is so easy.
"Assistant instructors only need to teach the disciples of Wu Yard the Five Animal Hands Technique for 2 hours every morning. Moreover, they can take a break every seven days. It doesn't take much effort. The rest of the time, they can drink wine and be carefree. Wouldn't that be enjoyable?"
Lin Yan nodded. In his previous life, he would be so envious of this workload.
"Secondly, safety!
"Strength Realm martial artists are mostly guards. They are all fighting and killing. They hang their heads around their necks and exchange their lives for money.
"Especially now that Ding'an City is filled with desperate and ambitious people.
"In addition, the increasingly frequent attacks and killings in the Guangchuan Mountains have even removed the shackles in people's hearts. Greed and evil thoughts have all appeared. It's very chaotic.
"But Dragon Gate Pavilion is safe! With so many disciples here, even if the entire Ding'an City is in chaos, Dragon Gate Pavilion will definitely be impregnable."
This was also the reason why Lin Yan signed the contract without hesitation.
"And the most important benefit is that you don't have to pay extra money like the disciples of Wei Yard to learn boxing!"
Lin Yan was slightly stunned. "Could it be that the disciples of Wei Yard have to pay an additional fee to learn boxing?"
Pang Tong rolled his eyes. "Of course! What Wei Yard teaches is not an unknown body-nourishing martial arts technique like the Five Animal Hands, but our Dragon Gate Pavilion's secret technique, the Dragon-shaped Fist!
"The essence of this fist is profound and its power is incomparable. In the entire Ding'an City, it can be ranked in the top five. How can it be imparted so easily?
"Disciples of Wei Yard have to pay three taels of silver a month to stay and learn boxing unless they are as talented as Mi Tai, who enjoys a discount."
Three taels? So much!
A normal Strength Realm martial artist would only earn three taels a month, but it was only enough to learn boxing?
"This is only the basic cost of learning boxing. Hiring personal teachers, buying Body Accumulating Soup, Bone Tempering Ointment, blood energy medicinal herbs, and so on. Which one doesn't cost money? Therefore, the poor study literature while the rich practice martial arts. If you don't have some money, you won't be able to achieve anything."
Lin Yan was slightly silent. Back then, Elder Li and Master Kui advised him not to practice martial arts. Was it also because the more he practiced martial arts, the more money he would spend?
Lin Yan asked, "What if you don't have that much money?"
"Then you can complete the missions issued by Wei Yard. It's like hunting wild beasts to replenish the meat, guarding the pavilion, and so on to earn money.
"Of course, there will also be outsiders who will hire disciples from Wei Yard. That's a way to earn money.
"In short, once you become a martial artist, you'll be able to find a way to earn money with your strength."
Lin Yan asked again, "What if you can't even afford the basic three taels a month?"
"Then there's another way, which is to sign a contract with the pavilion and waive the tuition fees for a year.
"Ordinary people can master the circulation of blood energy in at most a year. After a year, they can go to the merchants or escort companies that cooperate with the pavilion to work for a certain period of time.
"Some for five years, some for ten years, and the longest is twenty years.
"Why do you think Wei Yard is called Wei1. Protection Yard? It's precisely because we have signed a contract with many merchants and escort agencies in Ding'an City. We recommend guards for them."
He understood now. It was equivalent to a university loan in his previous life. However, in Wei Yard, the disciples paid the debt with work. The time limit was extremely long, so it was basically equivalent to a less stringent slavery contract.
Pang Tong looked at Lin Yan and sighed. "But you don't have to worry about this. You're now an assistant instructor. You don't have to spend money to learn the Dragon-Shaped Fist from Eldest Senior Brother. You can also receive a bottle of Bone Tempering Cream and a bowl of Body Nourishing Soup for free every month, right?"
Lin Yan nodded. When he signed the contract, there was indeed mention of Body Nourishing Soup and Bone Tempering Liquid.
"What are these?"
"Let's not talk about the Bone Tempering Liquid for now. It's used to speed up the cultivation of the Dragon-Shaped Fist. It's not anything valuable.
"This Body Nourishing Soup is a really good thing. It's the secret medicinal soup of our Dragon Gate Pavilion!
"After entering the Strength Realm, you need to circulate your blood energy to practice martial arts. It's very easy to injure your body, so you have to be careful and not practice too much.
"However, this Body Nourishing Soup can repair hidden injuries, nourish muscles and bones, and increase the number of times you practice martial arts every day.
"If I can drink a bowl in four to five days, not only will my martial arts efficiency increase greatly, but I can also nourish my muscles, bones, and meridians, strengthen my martial arts foundation, and greatly increase my future potential."
Lin Yan was secretly speechless. This Body Nourishing Soup was indeed good stuff.
At this point, Pang Tong's tone suddenly changed. "But Junior Brother Lin, you've eaten the Spirit Recovery Pill after all… you know that no matter how much Body Nourishing Soup you use, it won't have much effect.
"When you receive the Body Nourishing Soup in the future, if you don't drink it, you must contact me. I'll pay two taels of silver to buy a bowl for you!"
Lin Yan's expression did not change. "Senior Brother Pang, we haven't obtained the Body Nourishing Soup yet. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
If the Body Nourishing Soup really had such an effect, he would definitely not sell it to Pang Tong.
After reviewing what Pang Tong had just said, there was a total of seven taels of silver, including two taels of salary, three taels of tuition fees that were waived, and two taels worth of Body Nourishing Soup.
Besides, Pang Tong, this unscrupulous merchant, would definitely not offer a real price. The conservative estimate of the price of the Body Nourishing Soup was one tael more. In other words, his total income for a month was a total of eight taels of silver!
To a Strength Realm martial artist, this price was clearly already in the upper echelons. It really gave him the feeling that he could retire in Dragon Gate Pavilion for the rest of his life.
