Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

Shi Wen paid no attention to the gossip.

He practiced his basic skills at the usual spot, sweating profusely.

After consuming the Fish-Dragon Treasure Blood, he discovered that his proficiency improved even faster!

You don't necessarily have to practice for the time specified in the original basic skills to improve your proficiency.

This significantly shortened the practice time.

When the gong signaled the end of the school term, Shi Wen was pleasantly surprised to find that his proficiency had increased by 6 points!

"If I could consume more of this precious blood, my cultivation speed would definitely be even faster!"

"Judging from the current progress, practicing the basics during the day should allow me to master them in just a few days, and then advance to perfection. I wonder if mastering the basics will bring any other special characteristics?"

"Once I've perfected my basic skills, I'll reveal the news of my Qi and Blood cultivation, and then I'll advance to the Inner Court. Wasting too much time in the Outer Court is pointless..."

As Shi Wen packed up his equipment, he pondered some things.

Li Qianqian, who was also out packing her things, glanced at Shi Wen and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Junior Brother Shi seems to have grown a bit taller? And his skin seems to have improved?"

She watched the boy packing up his equipment in the sunlight.

His expression faltered slightly.

In just over ten days since the boy joined the boxing academy, his posture had become much more upright.

His features seemed more defined, with sharp eyebrows, thin lips slightly pursed, and loose strands of hair fluttering in the wind. The setting sun cast its golden glow upon him, as if gilding him with a beautiful golden edge.

The boy's temperament remained unchanged.

He was quiet and reserved, yet he exuded an indescribable calmness and confidence.

Even the eldest disciple from a local powerful family in Black Cloud County was not as attractive as this energetic young man.

That youthful spirit seemed to strike right at the heart.

Even though Li Qianqian didn't consider herself a fan of good looks, she was quite impressed with the young man at this moment.

"Senior Sister Li, I'm going back now."

Shi Wen clasped his hands in a fist salute to her, then turned and left.

The latter paused slightly, then nodded, "Take care, Junior Brother Shi."

We arrived at Minggong Street.

Shi Wen happened to witness the scene of the goatee-bearded Taoist distributing meat.

Taking advantage of his strong physique, he grabbed a lot of meat pieces and even bought some "lucky meat" on the spot.

Shi Wen was very cautious.

He only wanted to collect the auspicious meat discreetly, but unfortunately he underestimated the greed of human nature.

Someone shouted something.

As soon as someone wanted to buy Lucky Meat, it cost 100 Treasure Coins per piece.

The scene became even more chaotic.

A large group of poor, downtrodden people stopped listening to the so-called sermons and came over with pieces of meat to exchange for money. After exchanging the money, they left with smiles on their faces.

However, this scene...

When the goatee-bearded Taoist priest, who was preaching the "Immortal Mother Scripture" on the altar, saw this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Xiang Ju stopped the Taoists who wanted to make a move with a look.

He held a well-worn scripture in his hands and walked towards Shi Wen.

"Compassionate, compassionate, the celestial mother who saves countless beings."

The goatee-bearded Taoist chanted a hymn, then looked at Shi Wen and said gently, "Young friend, why are you disrupting our sermon?"

"I'm sorry, Immortal, I just really like lucky meat."

When Shi Wen saw the goatee-bearded Taoist priest approaching, he quickly gave a smirk.

He wore an innocent expression.

Xiang Ju glanced at the boy.

He discovered that the boy had no other impurities besides a pure desire for the blessed meat and a slight sense of embarrassment.

She immediately sighed and said, "Fairy Mother of Disaster Relief and Longevity, have mercy! Well then, since this young brother likes to eat it, whenever he comes here in the future, prepare an extra bag of blessed meat for him."

"Campus situation, now fetch a bag of preserved meat."

"Yes." A young Taoist priest nearby quickly handed over a small bag of "lucky meat".

"Um."

Xiang Ju smiled gently and handed him a wooden sculpture wrapped with red cloth strips, saying, "The Immortal Mother saves countless people. We should worship the Immortal Mother, be devout day and night, and illness will be cured, disasters will be averted, and all difficulties will be overcome."

"Thank you, Immortal."

Shi Wen looked grateful.

After noticing the indication that the Extreme Seal had appeared, he smiled, accepted the wooden carving, and turned to leave.

Xiang Ju silently watched Shi Wen's departing figure.

A fierce glint flashed in his usually calm eyes.

Until Shi Wen's figure disappeared.

Xiang Ju then withdrew his gaze and instructed an elderly Taoist priest to preside over the meeting.

He walked to the shade of a tree and asked the young Taoist priest, "Are any forces currently operating in this area?"

"Elder Qi, our operation was meticulously planned and there were no leaks whatsoever. Furthermore, the organization never informed us that any force was coming to Black Cloud County!"

The camp responded immediately.

"No one arranged this, so why would that little guy come here to pick up free lucky meat to eat?" Xiang Ju frowned slightly. "Go and find out more about this kid, then come back and tell me immediately."

"yes!"

Ying left in a hurry, disappearing into the crowd like an eel.

"The secret of Black Cloud County is known only to my lineage. We've only been here for a short time, how could outsiders know about it? Could it be a coincidence?"

"Or is there a traitor within the organization who leaked the information?"

"If I mess this up, the Holy Son might tear me apart!"

Xiang Ju's gaze was solemn as he stared at the golden fish-scale clouds in the sky, which were illuminated by the setting sun and shattered into countless fragments.

After a long while, he finally looked away.

He continued flipping through the "Fairy Mother Scripture" in his hands, his expression calm.

After some time, the camp returned, and he whispered something to Xiang Ju.

Xiang Ju was slightly taken aback, then a strange smile appeared on his face. "Hehe, I suppose he is a novice martial artist who has just cultivated his qi and blood, greedily taking the blessed meat to replenish his qi and blood, thinking that he has gotten a great deal."

"So that's why a mere martial artist would be buying up 'lucky meat' on the spot. Turns out he comes from a poor background and doesn't have money to nourish his body."

"Elder, should I go and kill this man?"

A murderous glint flashed in Ying Kuang's eyes, but Xiang Ju smiled and shook his head. "Let's see if he really likes the 'lucky meat' (a type of meat dish). If he doesn't come today or tomorrow, we should clean things up. If he keeps coming, then we can just ignore him."

"I'm also very curious about what kind of effect fish bait raised by martial artists could achieve!"

"Anyway, it's just a small fry, it won't ruin the overall situation."

The confidence in his words and his hearty laughter suggested he was waiting for a good show.

Upon hearing this, Ying Kuang also showed a curious expression.

This was the first time he had ever seen a martial artist willingly approach something that was free.

If it were a martial artist to nurture it, it might have unexpected effects, since it would be something they actively consume rather than being forced to.

We need to finish the task as soon as possible.

There's no need to worry about being discovered by other forces and causing unforeseen changes...

-------------------------------------

Shi Wen walked quickly down the street, his heart heavy.

Today I have witnessed the true benefits of precious blood.

Fearing that the Taoist priests would stop distributing blessed meat, he decided to buy it.

He initially kept a low profile, but unexpectedly, the crowd changed drastically, with people coming over to collect pieces of meat and demanding their money back, which caught the attention of the Taoist priests.

Today's actions were far too reckless!

"How about we don't come after today?"

Shi Wen pondered the idea, but then dismissed it.

If he doesn't come, his behavior will seem even more strange.

These mysterious people might secretly murder him.

On the contrary, if you keep going...

Then you can get more blessed meat.

This will evolve into enough precious blood to nourish his martial arts cultivation and bring about a complete transformation!

When the true meaning is cultivated to the point that the body's qi and blood are as condensed and pure as molten lava.

Wait until you've cultivated your martial arts to the highest level!

Why should we fear these cowardly people?

"I just want to cultivate in peace and quiet, and I hope you won't force me."

Shi Wen sighed.

He took out some lucky meat, wrapped it in oiled paper for evolution, and then took a detour to the blacksmith's shop to check on the progress of the iron stake.

He had just hurriedly returned to Taiping Lane.

But who knows?

When I walked into the alley near my home, a large group of neighbors were sitting in the doorway, enjoying the cool air and chatting.

Even his parents were there.

The topic of conversation was none other than Wo Luen Shing.
