Chapter 39

The Benefits of an a.s.sistant Instructor (3)

“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 Acc.u.mulating 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 Wei

1. 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 a.s.sistant 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng Soup for free every month, right?”

Lin Yan nodded. When he signed the contract, there was indeed mention of Body Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng Soup you use, it won’t have much effect.

“When you receive the Body Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng Soup yet. Let’s talk about it when the time comes.”

If the Body Nouris.h.i.+ng 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 Nouris.h.i.+ng Soup.

Besides, Pang Tong, this unscrupulous merchant, would definitely not offer a real price. The conservative estimate of the price of the Body Nouris.h.i.+ng 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.
