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

Heiyun County.

Yacheng.

Inside the Qiu residence, Qiu Tongdan was handling matters related to the family's businesses.

Managing businesses in various locations, transferring family members, and managing accounts for various industries kept him extremely busy.

"Miss, this is the list of martial artists who have broken through to the Blood Tempering stage in Black Cloud County recently. They come from Flying Cloud Pavilion and five martial arts academies, totaling seven new martial artists."

A burly woman handed her a small stack of documents and said, "Besides Black Cloud County, quite a few martial artists from other places have come. They want to become retainers or guards of the Qiu family. Miss, please take a look at their information."

"Um."

Qiu Tongdan took the documents and first read through the information on Heiyun County.

Firstly, it's to see which geniuses have emerged from the local forces, and these people can be recruited and cultivated. Secondly, it's to analyze the forces behind these people.

Unfortunately, she only glanced at it briefly.

I am very dissatisfied.

There are two geniuses on the list. One is Qin Heng from Li Ji Boxing Academy, who has an eighth-grade root bone and officially became a Blood Tempering stage martial artist within half a month.

The other one is Li Jingyang, the genius from Feiyun Pavilion who possesses a tenth-grade root bone. According to the news, he also tempered his blood and qi today, and becoming a martial artist is a sure thing.

Apart from that, there were no other prodigies worth trying to win over.

The remaining people were basically those who had tempered their blood and qi within a two- to three-month assessment period, or those who had practiced martial arts for about half a year and forcibly entered the blood tempering stage.

They are not worth cultivating.

"Send an invitation to Li Jingyang of Feiyun Pavilion, asking him to come to Yuejiang Tower for a chat tomorrow at noon."

Qiu Tongdan ticked a box on Li Jingyang's list.

As for Qin Huan, who came down, he fell into deep thought. "If I remember correctly, that kid from the Yan family seems to be trying to win Qin Huan over, right?"

"Yes, Miss, Yan Kai and Qin Huan are very close. They may have already signed some kind of agreement."

The maidservant quickly responded.

"Never mind, let's arrange a meeting with Qin Huan tomorrow night. I'll offer him a higher price, so whether he comes or not, it'll still annoy that Yan family brat!"

A strange look flashed in Qiu Tongdan's eyes.

The Yan family and her family had many clashes in business.

In recent years, in particular, the Yan family has gained favor with the county magistrate and their business in Heiyun County has been expanding, which has led to some overlap between the Yan family and the Qiu family in their businesses.

There was no room for compromise between the two, so conflict was inevitable.

Furthermore, their relationship was that of county constables, who had always been at odds with the county magistrate.

If we have the chance to snatch that genius from the Yan family now, we can also thoroughly humiliate them!

"Besides these two, reply to the rest of them with a letter and give them a chance to register as affiliated. See if they want to register."

Qiu Tongdan continued flipping through the documents below.

Qiu Tongdan started marking on the paper with a pen, "For these martial artists from other places, the fees for affiliation and offerings will be reduced by 20%. If they are willing to come, then they can come; if they don't come, we will unite with other merchants in the city to suppress them. We must not let the martial artists from other places become too arrogant."

"yes!"

The maid nodded quickly.

"Also, go and inform the martial artists in our manor that the affiliation fee will be reduced by 20% and the offering fee will be reduced by 10%."

Before Qiu Tongdan could speak, the maid hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss, lowering their fees won't cause any controversy, will it?"

"What controversy could it possibly cause? The current environment is so bad, if they don't do it, there are plenty of others who will!" Qiu Tongdan sneered. "So many outside martial artists are waiting for work."

"However, it's not enough for the Qiu family to do the salary reduction alone. I will communicate with other chambers of commerce to finalize this matter."

"Alright, that's settled then."

Qiu Tongdan waved her hand, and the maid quickly took the documents and left.

But she returned shortly after, handing Qiu Tongdan a letter. "Miss, this is a letter just delivered by Li's Boxing Academy."

"Is that Qianqian?"

Qiu Tongdan opened the letter and read it, then realized, "So there's someone at Li's Boxing Academy who broke through today, Shi Wen, who broke through to the Blood Tempering stage within half a month. Qianqian is asking me if I want to invest in this person."

"Strange, how can someone with a fifth-grade root bone be able to break through to the Blood Tempering stage in just half a month?"

"Could it be that this person is extremely compatible with Bajiquan?"

"Shi Wen... I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."

Seeing her mistress lost in thought, the maid whispered, "Miss, it's the blind date that Miss Qianqian introduced to you last time."

"Oh, so it was that peasant..."

Qiu Tongdan suddenly remembered that person, but felt extremely awkward.

When she rejected Li Qianqian last time, she said she would look for vacant positions in the family business and let this person go and make some money.

But when I got busy, I forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually became a Blood Tempering stage martial artist.

Right now, Qiu Tongdan feels a little embarrassed, but has no other thoughts.

She crumpled the letter into a ball, but then opened her hand again. "Forget it, I'll write back later. I'll give this kid a chance to get a job. Whether he comes or not is up to him. It's also a way to save face for Qianqian."

"True geniuses, such as Li Jingyang and Qin Huan, are the two young talents with high potential, and they are worth recruiting."

"If my Qiu family wants to grow and prosper, we need geniuses, not mediocre ones..."

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

"Breathing techniques?"

"Unexpectedly, instead of obtaining the breathing technique from the Extreme Seal, I received it from an outsider, specifically from these Taoists of the Fusheng Society..."

Shi Wen stared intently at the booklet.

He reached out and opened the browser, but unexpectedly, a piece of text suddenly appeared on the screen.

[A very faint sense of impending doom was detected in the incomplete breathing technique; evolutionary branch 2 is possible.]

[Evolutionary Branch 1: Extremely Incomplete Genmai Breathing Method: An improved version of this breathing method, which can be used to boost blood and lock in vital energy, enhance the thickness of the skin and flesh, increase strength, improve digestion, and make one immune to all poisons. Each month, it can steal a very weak wisp of earth energy from the earth to nourish the body! (1 year)]

[Evolution Branch 2: Incomplete Genmai Refining Root Method: An incomplete root method that allows the body to undergo a complete transformation and become indestructible through devouring. All things in the world can be consumed as nourishment. After consuming a certain amount, physical mutations will occur. When standing on the ground, you will receive the earth's amplification when you are exhausted, but you will also be watched by the earth's calamities! (700 years)]

[Evolutionary Branch 3: Incomplete Earth Demon Genmai Observation and Spirit Infusion Origin Method: An incomplete origin method that can be used to temper the entire body to the point of immortality and indestructibility. It can induce gluttony, devouring, diamond-like strength, alien form, absolute hardness, and absolute digestion. It can also trigger the eruption of magma from underground and contain a very small portion of the origin of geological disasters! (8000 years)]

The time required for evolution has been shortened!
