章節 39: The Benefits of an Assistant Instructor (3)
編輯: Henyee Translations
"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.
章節 40: Chen Yuan
編輯: Henyee Translations
"Lin Yan, when you see Senior Sister Chen later, you must pay attention. Don't keep staring at Senior Sister Chen. She hates lechers the most."
"Senior Brother Pang, is this Senior Sister Chen very beautiful?"
"She's more than beautiful. She's simply as gorgeous as an angel. I fell in love with her at first sight."
Pang Tong's face was filled with amazement as he added, "Senior Sister Chen doesn't care about trifles. She's different from ordinary women. Moreover, she doesn't know much about the ways of the world. If you make her unhappy, she'll chase you out."
"What's Senior Sister Chen's name?"
"Her real name is Chen Yuan. Her greatest interest is mathematics. Since you're so good at mathematics, you'll definitely be able to get along well with her. As long as you perform well, you'll definitely be able to get this job!"
Pang Tong led the way while Lin Yan held Xiaozhi in his arms. Under the moonlight, the three of them finally arrived at Dragon Yard.
Dragon Yard was filled with independent houses with red walls and green tiles. They were neatly arranged under the night sky, like those luxurious houses he had seen in his previous life. It was quiet, peaceful, and luxurious.
Lin Yan casually asked, "Senior Brother Pang, why are you so concerned about whether I can get this job?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? I'm just concerned about you!"
Lin Yan was expressionless and didn't believe him at all. "Which building does Senior Sister Chen live in?"
"This way, this way!"
Pang Tong brought Lin Yan straight to one of the terraced pavilions and knocked lightly.
"Come in."
An ethereal and crisp voice that sounded like a fairy from the heavens sounded.
Pang Tong pushed the door open and entered with Lin Yan.
Inside the door was a large courtyard paved with limestone slabs.
The courtyard was arranged according to the layout of the martial arts field. A black wooden weapon rack was placed on the left, and a lush maple tree was planted on the right. It cast a dense shadow, and there was a blue stone table under it.
The overall area was much more spacious than Lin Yan's house.
A woman sat at the stone table with a book in her hand.
Lin Yan glanced at her and his gaze instinctively froze.
Xiaozhi widened her eyes. "Wow, what a beautiful sister!"
The woman in front of him was graceful. She sat alone and her long black and smooth hair was casually tied into a bundle with a white silk scarf. She draped it behind her slender snow-white neck. Her skin was as fair as snow and she was cold and otherworldly. Coupled with her plain thin clothes that clung to her body, her curves were exquisite, as if she had fused with the entire moonlit night. She did not look like a mortal.
She was extremely beautiful, but it was definitely not the gentle beauty of an ordinary woman. Instead, she had a clear and unrestrained beauty. The moment her hair brushed against the snow-white skin on her face, it was like a bolt of lightning, causing Pang Tong and Lin Yan to unconsciously pause.
Pang Tong was all smiles. "Hello, Senior Sister Chen. Look, I've brought Junior Brother Lin here."
Lin Yan said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Chen."
Chen Yuan flipped a page of the book and said coldly, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
"Senior Sister Chen, I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I only found Junior Brother Lin now."
"Forget it, there's no need to say anything unnecessary."
She turned around and looked at Xiaozhi with her beautiful eyes. She said bluntly, "You even brought a child with you. Are you trying to gain some sympathy?"
Lin Yan explained, "Senior Sister Chen, this is my younger sister. I just moved today and couldn't put her down in time, so I could only bring her along. Please forgive me."
"Forget it. Did you do that paper?"
Lin Yan nodded. "That's right."
"Just like Pang Tong said, it only took you less than 15 minutes?"
Lin Yan nodded again. "Yes."
Chen Yuan put down the book and her expression finally turned solemn. Her watery and clear eyes seemed to circulate with light as they circled around Lin Yan. "Have you done these questions before?"
Lin Yan nodded but shook his head. "I did something similar when I was young, but I can't remember. These questions are too simple. There's not much difference whether I did them or not."
Chen Yuan pursed her lips and revealed a lively smile, causing the entire quiet courtyard to become lively.
"You sure talk big. Come, sit beside me. I'll test you again!"
Lin Yan was slightly stunned and looked at the stone table.
The stone table wasn't big, and the two seats were a hand away from each other. This senior sister really didn't care about trifles.
However, since he was earning money, he was not reserved. He walked straight to Chen Yuan and sat down opposite her.
The stone table was not big, and the two of them were very close to each other. Chen Yuan's warm body and fair face were right in front of Lin Yan, and an elegant fragrance drilled into Lin Yan's nose.
Lin Yan looked up and put Xiaozhi down. He held her in his arms and placed her between the two of them.
"Senior Sister Chen, my sister is still young. She won't be an inconvenience, right?"
A hint of approval flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. "It's just a small matter. It's fine. How about this? I'll test you on another difficult question. Here's the question, 'Today, there's an old rooster that's worth five coins; a hen that's worth…'"
Chen Yuan had just said a few words when she suddenly saw Pang Tong waiting at the side from the corner of her eye. She stopped for a moment and a trace of doubt appeared on her beautiful face. "Junior Brother Pang, what are you still doing here?"
Pang Tong: "… Then should I leave?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Yan coughed twice. "Senior Brother Pang, why don't you wait for me outside for a while?"
Chen Yuan said nonchalantly, "Alright!"
"…"
Pang Tong cursed in his heart, but he still went out and closed the door.
Not long after, he could vaguely hear a low discussion. He was worried and didn't know if Junior Brother Lin could do it.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
Pang Tong's body trembled. His ears seemed to have caught a delicate scream just now?
In the next moment, another cry sounded. It was Senior Sister Chen's voice!
