I am a high-level martial arts master.

"This is way too difficult... The elder is simply making things difficult for us!"

Upon hearing the elder's demand that Ye Li break through to the mid-stage of Body Tempering within five months, Ji Yu, who was standing to the side, inwardly complained!

He is currently at this stage of his development, so he is well aware of the difficulties involved.

It took him five months to go from an ordinary person to breaking through the Body Tempering stage.

It took him a full 16 months to break through from the early stage of body tempering to the middle stage!

It took him a year to reach the peak of the initial stage of body tempering, which involved guiding his qi and blood and tempering his muscles.

The remaining four months were spent on profound and mysterious insights, searching for that one opportunity to break through the bottleneck!

Of course, the reason why it took a year to hone his body to the peak of the early stage of body tempering, even with two body tempering pills per month, was because the girls in Huichun Lane were too alluring.

Even the strongest body can't withstand taking one Tiger Wolf Pill every day for two hours in Huichun Lane.

Every day, all the training he did was used up, and the replenishment could hardly keep up with the depletion. It wasn't until six months later, when he no longer needed to take the Dragon Tiger Pill, that he finally mastered the physical training.

In Ji Yu's view, even if Ye Li could resist the temptation and rely on a large number of body tempering pills to complete the physical body tempering within five months, it would be impossible.

But it will take at least a month to find that mysterious insight.

However, the two knew that this request would be difficult.

However, it's still much better than the original plan that required repaying both the principal and interest.

Unlike the two people in front of him, he had different ideas.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Li could only force a straight face and say:

"I agree to this request. Quickly bring up one thousand taels."

After an incense stick had burned, Ye Li solemnly accepted the thousand taels of silver handed over by Ji Yu, feeling the weight of the money in his hand.

"I have enough resources for at least three months of spiritual practice!"

Realm: Early stage of Body Tempering (75/1834)

"Azure Dragon Strength (1918/100)"

……

Looking at the numbers displayed on the progress bar, Ye Li's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

With the [world-shaking wisdom] within him, whatever insights he lacks, it will impart to him, making his foundation even more stable than those martial artists who work themselves to the bone to break through.

What bottleneck? He thought it was a speed bump.

However, this little incident made Ye Li realize that his behavior had probably attracted the attention of the elders.

Since being promoted to a core disciple, he thought he was being left to his own devices. He wondered why no one had paid attention to his talent. It turned out that someone had been secretly watching him all along.

They really need to be put under some pressure; only children who make a fuss can get enough attention.

As for any test, he didn't care at all.

Five months?

With a sufficient supply of pills, it would probably be enough for him to cultivate to the late stage of Body Tempering!

As Ye Li rubbed the silver notes in his hand, he was already considering when to go to the Hundred Treasures Hall to make some purchases.

After leaving Wantongfang, Feng Yue advised, "You have to thank Elder Yang Shichang for his support in getting the elders' attention this time."

Ye Li's expression shifted slightly: "Elder Yang Shichang?"

"That's right. Elder Yang advanced to the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm before he was forty. Moreover, he is devoted to the gang and does not take sides with any faction. He is single-mindedly dedicated to the gang. It was he who fought hard to secure the benefits for you."

"Three years ago, the gang fell into the trap of the Poison Wolf Gang. If Elder Yang hadn't led the team to fight their way out, we would have lost all of the outstanding young disciples."

"After that battle, due to the great blow, Elder Yang retired from the front line and devoted himself to martial arts. Instead, he made further progress and broke through to the middle stage."

"Although the requirements this time are a bit strict, no matter the outcome, it's much better than the original 3% annual interest rate. And they didn't say when you have to pay it back, so you don't need to rush."

Ye Li said thoughtfully, "In that case, we should indeed express our gratitude properly! But what do you mean by saying that the younger generation of the gang suffered almost complete losses?"

"Literally, all three disciples with blue attributes in the guild have died, including the guild leader's personal disciple."

"Therefore, there is an urgent need for new people to take the lead, and the requirements for members have been extended from the original five months to six months for body tempering before they can become core disciples."

Feng Yue briefly explained the current state of the gang to Ye Li.

While listening silently to Feng Yue's explanation, Ye Li suddenly noticed the key point of this passage:

"If the gang leader has no direct disciples, isn't he just a lonely old man? Who will be able to lead the Azure Dragon Gang in the future?"

The two parted ways before reaching Huichun Lane, and Ye Li entered the brothel lane alone.

As they approached, they saw a young man dressed in the uniform of the Azure Dragon Gang stumble backward in the alley, saying:

"Don't give it to me anymore. I've been taking Dragon Tiger Pills for five months, I really can't take any more."

Standing before the young man, the still heavily made-up Third Sister smiled and said:

"Little Brother Wang, don't resist it. Eating this stuff will be good for you."

"What good is it? I've been consuming it every day for the past five months, and I've lost more power than I gained. Even two Body Tempering Pills a month wouldn't be enough!"

The young man surnamed Wang said with a mournful face, "Elder Li, I just want to practice my skills properly, please don't force me anymore. I am a dignified Body Tempering Martial Artist, but now my legs are trembling every day, and I can hardly even stand in a stance."

Thinking about the past five months, he burst into tears.

The first month was fine; we were excited about the forbidden fruit!

As a result, after a month, the initial enthusiasm dissipated, and every day became torture.

It's not that I didn't enjoy it, but after the pleasure, the lingering pain in my lower back and the weakness in my limbs made me feel terrified by my state of exhaustion.

The hardware quality is too poor to keep up with the performance degradation of the software!

The most important thing in martial arts training is to avoid any leaks.

For the past five months, the young man has been experiencing frequent and severe vaginal discharge, and without any effective methods or the assistance of Yin-Yang secrets, he has naturally become increasingly weak and unstable.

Seeing that her advice had no effect, Third Sister's face turned cold and she said:

"Don't blame the Dragon-Tiger Pill for your own lack of willpower. If you could endure it, with the combined Dragon-Tiger Body Tempering over these five months, you would have reached the peak of the initial stage long ago!"

With that, Li San Niang's figure transformed into a ghostly afterimage and attacked the young man!

Amidst the young man's bitter expression, Li San Niang grabbed him by the back of the neck as if catching a chicken, and with a burst of force from her palm, the boy's tightly closed mouth opened uncontrollably.

"You have to eat it, whether you like it or not!"

Third Sister snorted coldly and directly grabbed the Dragon Tiger Pill and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.

A moment later, it felt as if flames were rising in his lower abdomen.

The young man's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" The small head had successfully taken control of the big head!

With his identities reversed (Big Head Son and Small Head Dad), he stumbled and ran towards Huichun Lane with a long face.

In the alley, several women were already waiting with smiles on their faces, waving to the young man!

Ye Li stood aside and silently watched the whole process, recalling the scene of Third Sister's attack just now, her ghostly speed was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.

This is only the early stage of acquired cultivation, yet the difference of one major realm results in such overwhelming dominance.

Noticing Ye Li, Third Sister's face regained its smile, and she said, "Little Brother Ye, do you also want Third Sister to feed you personally?"

Ye Li didn't speak, but walked straight towards San Niang.

Reach out your hand, open it, and wait for the other person to hand you the medicine.
