After a while.

Just like last time, Xu Qiuxue wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said apologetically, "Chen You, I'm not feeling well today. Maybe in a few days..."

After saying this, Xu Qiuxue's pretty face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Chen You sighed.

He never expected it to be such a coincidence.

I thought his happy little days were about to begin today.

Unexpectedly, my teacher's wife was unwell.

"Master's wife, it's alright. I like you as a person, not your body."

Chen You said solemnly.

"Yes, I believe you."

Xu Qiuxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart and tucked Chen You in, saying, "Then you should get some rest!"

After Xu Qiuxue left, Chen You sniffed his hands.

So fragrant.

He shook his head, banishing the unhealthy thoughts from his mind, and then looked at his desire level.

That last wave made me quite a bit of money.

"It's a perfect time to practice the Blood Strengthening and Breathing Technique."

He only kept 100 Desire Points for himself to use for researching information; the rest he converted into cultivation days.

To maximize his physical potential, this time, he set up his training place in a freezing, snowy place where the wind was fierce and his breath turned to ice!

The wind and snow howled, and the extreme cold relentlessly assaulted his body, forcing him to accelerate his blood circulation to ward off the cold.

In the first month, he struggled to figure things out every day in the harsh, freezing conditions.

However, this blood-strengthening breathing exercise was far more difficult than imagined. The cold air made his lungs ache, and after a whole month, there was still little progress.

In the second month, Chen You, having adapted to the wind, snow, and cold, gradually improved.

With each breath, he finally grasped some of the tricks and became somewhat proficient in the technique. His internal energy began to warm slightly in the cold winter.

Time flies, and it's already the fourth month.

In a vast, white snowfield, Chen You sat cross-legged on a piece of ice.

With his long, deep breaths, the blood and qi in his body seemed to tremble as if ignited by embers. Finally, he had mastered the basics!

He did not slacken in the slightest, gritting his teeth and continuing his cultivation.

As the remaining simulation days were used up, on the last day, the qi and blood in my body, like a long-accumulated torrent, instantly broke through the bottleneck and I succeeded!

Blood-Strengthening Breathing Exercise, minor success achieved!

At the same time, under the powerful influence of this technique, his own cultivation level naturally broke through, and he smoothly entered the late stage of the first rank of martial arts!

Chen You opened her eyes and stepped out of the simulated ice and snow world.

He felt the surging, boundless energy within his body, several times stronger than before, like boiling magma, and his fists clenched slightly, producing a muffled clenching sound in the air.

The next morning, on her way to the martial arts school, Chen You passed by an elegantly decorated red makeup shop.

Several newly launched women's shoes are hanging in front of the shop; they are stylish and exquisitely made.

Chen You paused to look around, then stepped forward and picked out a pair for each of them according to their sizes.

Next, following the suggestion of the wish-fulfilling beads, she picked out a pair of new shoes that Yang Zhenzhen liked!

This is her desire, worth 30 desire points.

After paying the bill, I carried the package and headed towards the martial arts gym.

As soon as I stepped into the martial arts school, an alluring fragrance wafted towards me.

"Junior Brother Chen, you've arrived so early today."

A soft, melodious voice rang out; it was a senior student named Luo Yan.

Chen You looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the senior sister was wearing a tight-fitting martial arts outfit that outlined her curvaceous and extremely eye-catching hot figure.

Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, swaying gently with her steps, exuding both a heroic and dashing air and a touch of mature feminine charm.

Chen You was somewhat surprised.

In all the time he'd been at the martial arts school, aside from having a good relationship with Gao Chengyang, he rarely interacted with these self-important senior disciples.

He had never spoken to this senior sister Luo Yan.

He had only heard Gao Chengyang mention that this woman was one of the most powerful figures in Qinghe County, the daughter of the Luo Family Escort Agency, and came from a prominent family.

Chen You composed herself and politely bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Sister Luo."

"Junior brother, there's no need for such formalities." Luo Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Chen You before she said meaningfully, "I've only heard that your training progress has been extremely rapid lately, and even Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen, who always has very high standards, has praised you highly."

"Senior Sister, you flatter me." Chen You replied modestly and without any hesitation. "Senior Sister Yang is just mentoring a junior. I am of dull talent and have much to learn. I am far from being a match for her."

Luo Yan was very satisfied with Chen You's attitude.

This kind of humble and unassuming person is exactly the kind of person she wants to recruit.

"Junior brother, Senior Sister Yang has told me about your situation. Becoming a late-stage First-Rank cultivator shouldn't be a problem for you! However, to succeed, you'll need resources!"

She paused, her breath sweet as orchids, and said, "My Luo Family Escort Agency has been established here for nearly a hundred years, and we need talents like you, Junior Brother, to join us. I wonder if you would be willing? If you are, my Luo Family Escort Agency is willing to pay three Blood Strengthening Pills every month."

The Blood-Strengthening Powder, when taken by martial artists over a long period, can accelerate their cultivation speed.

However, the price is not low.

Each dose of the Blood-Strengthening Powder costs about five taels of silver.

This morning, Yang Zhenzhen did mention Chen You to Luo Yan, saying that he would definitely reach the late stage of the first rank in the future and that he had good comprehension.

Therefore, Luo Yan had the idea of ​​recruiting them.

These large families all operate this way; if they discover a martial artist with potential, they will recruit them in advance.

After all, the cost of investing in advance is much lower.

It is also easier to gain the gratitude of others.

Chen You immediately understood.

This is an attempt to recruit him.

but…………

Three doses of blood-strengthening powder a month? That's a bit too meager.

You should know that he is now at the late stage of the first rank.

However, even if Luo Yan offered more money, he didn't plan to join any factions for the time being.

The reason is simple: lack of freedom!

Secondly, one's own strength cannot be revealed for the time being.

Otherwise, Feng Liqiang of the Black Tiger Gang would definitely suspect that he killed Lin Hu and the others.

"Senior sister, thank you for your kindness, but for now, I just want to cultivate in peace and quiet..."

This can be considered a polite refusal.

Luo Yan was slightly taken aback, and her face stiffened.

I originally thought that Chen You would be moved to tears and agree.

This was the recruitment condition that most disciples dreamed of, after all, in her opinion, Chen You's talent was not high.

Another reason she did this was to give face to her senior sister Yang Zhenzhen and agree to take care of Chen You.

But to my surprise, they didn't appreciate it.

"Uh... then forget it. Junior brother must have a better idea."

After saying that, Luo Yan shrugged indifferently and turned to leave.

Luo Yan really didn't care about this disciple who had no potential.

At the same time, she also labeled Chen You as out of touch with reality.

…………

…………

In the afternoon, the disciples left the training ground one after another in twos and threes, and the martial arts school gradually quieted down.

Chen You carried the package to the backyard and immediately spotted Yang Zhenzhen practicing her martial arts in the open space.

At this moment, Yang Zhenzhen moved like lightning, her fists whistling through the air and carrying a faint, scorching force. She was unleashing the martial arts school's signature technique, the Blazing Sun Fist!

It is said that this boxing style is extremely powerful and has a very high entry barrier. Only disciples who have received the personal approval of the school master Yang Yan and whose cultivation level has reached the second rank or above are qualified to practice it.

"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, you haven't gone back yet?"

Yang Zhenzhen exhaled and inhaled, slowly ending her stance. She turned around and saw Chen You, asking with some curiosity.

"Senior sister, I came here specifically to thank you for taking care of me recently, so..."

Chen You stepped forward and handed over the shoebox she had prepared beforehand. "Senior sister, this is for you."

Yang Zhenzhen was stunned.

She looked at the shoebox handed to her, her pretty brows furrowing slightly: "Why are you giving me shoes for no reason?"

Chen You smiled and said frankly, "I passed by the Red Makeup Shop today and saw these shoes at a glance. I thought they would suit my senior sister very well, so I bought them."

Yang Zhenzhen opened the box with some skepticism, but when she saw the exquisite women's shoes inside, her spirited eyes immediately lit up.

The style and color of these shoes perfectly matched her preferences; they were a pair she had her eye on a few days ago.

I was just short of money, so I didn't buy it.

"This...how could I possibly accept this?" Yang Zhenzhen said somewhat awkwardly, a slight blush rising on her face.

"Senior sister, you've always taken such good care of me, I should be grateful. It's just a pair of shoes, please accept them, otherwise I'll feel really bad," Chen You earnestly advised.

"Well... alright then, I'll accept it." Seeing Chen You's sincerity, Yang Zhenzhen didn't refuse anymore and happily accepted the gift, feeling quite pleased with herself.

She looked at Chen You and thought to herself, "This kid is a decent person who knows how to be grateful. I should take better care of him in the martial arts school in the future."

at the same time.

Chen You also received a reward of 30 Desire Points.

After chatting for a while, Chen You took his leave.

Just as I stepped out the door, someone walked towards me.

It turned out to be Founder.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw Chen You, but in an instant, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen You, what a coincidence!"
