What a lucky world!

Chapter 9 Do you know, do you know, it takes the rich woman’s help!

"I do not know."

"I went back home yesterday and practiced until midnight."

"And then...I realized it!"

The next day, in the outer courtyard of Yuanwei Escort Agency, Zhang Mu told Instructor Wang about his progress in a somewhat "confused" manner.

"Got it?" Instructor Wang looked at Zhang Mu with an expression that said, "I don't understand, but don't lie to me." "Did you really practice all night?"

"Midnight! I realized it at midnight." Zhang Mu said seriously, "Midnight."

Instructor Wang stood with his hands behind his back and circled around Zhang Mu several times as if he was looking at a monster.

This is not his fault. He has been teaching in this outer courtyard for almost twenty years and has taught at least eight hundred disciples. He has never seen such a situation.

one day!
Being able to activate one's innate martial luck through the martial arts classics in just one day is simply unbelievable, it's simply...

genius!

Instructor Wang suddenly reacted!
No matter how he did it, he did it.

If that’s not genius, then what is!
Maybe the value of the Qingsong Fist Sutra can be increased further, and the tuition fee can be increased a little bit!

"Now that we can activate our martial luck, what's next..." Instructor Wang was saying this when he suddenly thought of something and quickly stood up. "Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Instructor Wang quickly ran out of his small house in the outer courtyard.

……

Instructor Wang left the outer courtyard and ran towards the interior of the escort agency until he stopped in front of a flower hall. He straightened his clothes and knocked on the door. Then, a crisp voice of "Come in" came from the hall, and Instructor Wang pushed the door open and walked in.

Two maids stood in the hall, flanking a beautiful woman. The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a touch of makeup on her face and a graceful demeanor. Upon seeing Instructor Wang enter, she chuckled and said, "Brother Wang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Instructor Wang quickly bowed and said he dared not.

This beautiful woman, named Zhuang Xiaomeng, is the daughter of the previous chief escort. She is now the head manager of Yuanwei Escort Agency and is known as Madam Zhuang.

"Madam Zhuang, there's something I need to tell you." Instructor Wang, an old employee of the escort agency who had known Zhuang Xiaomeng for many years, spoke directly. "The other day, Mr. He from the accounting office made a call and sent one of our accounting assistants to the outer courtyard to learn martial arts. He's also waived his tuition."

Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Mr. He was the escort agency's golden abacus, so offering a few of his disciples free martial arts lessons was nothing. She also believed that Instructor Wang wasn't here to complain behind her back, and there must be a hidden story behind it, so she waited for Instructor Wang to finish.

"That boy's name is Zhang Mu. He joined my Yuanwei Escort Agency as a clerk when he was fifteen. He's seventeen now. It's not common sense to think that a child of that age would achieve anything in martial arts. After all, not everyone has the ability of Escort Captain Song..."

Zhuang Xiaomeng put down the teacup and said, "Brother Wang, let's get to the point."

"Alright, alright..." Instructor Wang responded, "I met him yesterday and taught him the Qingsong Fist Manual."

"He has fully comprehended it today and can already drive his innate martial luck!"

"Hmm!" Zhuang Xiaomeng paused and asked, "Are you sure?"

Instructor Wang nodded quickly. "I saw it with my own eyes! The kid said he suddenly had an epiphany during his evening practice!"

"Enlightened?" Zhuang Xiaomeng thought about it after hearing this, then smiled softly and nodded. "I've heard that Buddhism has the concept of sudden enlightenment, and Taoism also has rumors of sudden enlightenment. It's a reasonable statement."

"What does Brother Wang want to say?"

It's no wonder that Zhuang Xiaomeng's words were so light. After all, driving martial luck is the foundation of martial arts. An epiphany, in the eyes of someone like her, is just a little surprising.

Instructor Wang explained, "The child is short of money, so yesterday he asked if he could buy a ten-day supply of Qi and Blood Food. I've already spoken to the Outer Courtyard's steward, but he said there's no precedent for this, so it's inconvenient to accommodate."

"But what happened today made me feel that talent is truly rare. Next, we need to open up the acupoints, which will require even greater supply of Qi and blood. So..."

Zhuang Xiaomeng looked at Instructor Wang and said with a smile, "So, let me be the one to ask for this, so that I can avoid paying for the Qi and Blood Supplement?"

Instructor Wang nodded and said, "Madam Zhuang, I can't say for sure that this child will become a master like Escort Master Song, but he does have a promising future as an escort."

"I heard Mr. He mention Zhang Mu yesterday..." Zhuang Xiaomeng whispered, "His new accounting method is indeed very useful and has made great contributions to the escort agency. I feel I'm being unfair to Mr. He for just waiving his tuition." "Ah? A new accounting method?" Instructor Wang didn't understand what Zhuang Xiaomeng was talking about, but then he heard Zhuang Xiaomeng say, "For the next month, all his energy, blood, and food will be accounted for within the escort agency. Let him practice well and don't worry about these external things."

"Also, Brother Wang, please tell him that if he opens a single acupoint within the next month, the escort agency will reward him with ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels?" Instructor Wang was surprised. The monthly salary of a regular escort was only ten taels.

But after thinking about it, Instructor Wang understood: it is not easy to open up the meridians. Among the many disciples he has taught in the outer courtyard, it is already considered good if he can open up three or four acupoints in a month. That is at most thirty or forty taels, which is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, Zhang Mu can only enjoy free qi and blood food for one month in the outer courtyard. This money can ensure that Zhang Mu's cultivation speed will not fall behind after leaving the outer courtyard, and he can enter the realm of cultivation as soon as possible.

After all, only when you are qualified can you become an escort and be used by the escort agency.

This is a practical way to show kindness.

Besides, Zhang Mu is only seventeen years old. Compared with his long future, the current investment of dozens of taels is nothing.

high! It’s really high!

"Chunxi, go and get ten taels of silver." Zhuang Xiaomeng gave another order, and a maid immediately took the order and went into the inner room. A moment later, she came out with a palm-sized silver ingot in her hand. She glanced at Zhuang Xiaomeng's expression and handed it to Instructor Wang.

Instructor Wang was stunned and quickly declined: "Alas, what is this for? It is my duty to promote talents for the escort agency. I don't deserve such a reward. Madam Zhuang, please take it back."

Zhuang Xiaomeng remained silent. The maidservant named Chunxi smiled and said, "Master Wang, this isn't for you. I want you to pass it on to Zhang Mu."

"Huh?" Instructor Wang was stunned and looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng. "Didn't they say that the reward for opening a single acupoint is ten taels of silver?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng suppressed her laughter and said, "Kids these days are very imaginative, so it's inevitable that they'll think I'm trying to trick him. First, I'll give him ten taels of silver as a reward for comprehending the Qingsong Fist Sutra in one day."

After receiving the promise, Instructor Wang quickly took the silver and bowed to Zhuang Xiaomeng to say goodbye.

……

In the outer courtyard, Wang’s teaching cottage.

"Huh? All the Qi and Blood Food is free?"

"Ten taels of silver for one acupuncture point?"

"If I comprehend the Qingsong Fist Sutra in one day, will you reward me with ten taels first?"

Zhang Mu never expected that Instructor Wang, who had only been away for a short while, would bring him such great news.

Wow, I really like Yuanwei Escort Agency. The people here are all talented, speak nicely, and are generous with money. I love this place.

When Zhang Mu saw Instructor Wang take out the ten-liang silver ingot, he almost couldn't see his eyes because of laughing.

I have been thinking hard about how to make money for a long time, but there is really no good plan.

Ask the people in this world, and they will ask if they can borrow money.

Do you know! Do you know!
The rich woman has to take action!

Zhang Mu took the ten-liang silver ingot. As soon as he got the silver ingot in his hand, he immediately saw a wisp of white mist rising from the silver ingot and rushing into his forehead.

Although he wanted to check the Tianji Ranking, the timing was not right, so Zhang Mu suppressed his restlessness.

"Next, we'll strike the acupoints." Instructor Wang, not noticing Zhang Mu's abnormality, continued, "But before that, first manipulate your innate martial energy to circulate within your body and locate the twelve meridians."

"First, determine the location, and then I'll guide you to impact the acupoints."

Zhang Mu nodded when he heard this, sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes, but the first thing he did was not to activate his innate martial luck, but to summon the Heavenly Secret List in his mind.

Sure enough, at this time, the small river at the bottom of the Tianji List returned to its previous gurgling state. He then focused his mind on the 95th place, and the word "war" finally appeared again after the name of the 95th place!

After just a little hesitation, Zhang Mu chose to fight and immediately focused his mind on the battle with the 95th place!
