Gou Zai Xianwu Wenjing Search for Opportunities

"Senior Brother Wu, let's talk another day."

Lin Yuan gave him a perfunctory reply and ignored him, thinking to himself, "You go your way, I'll go mine, let's keep to ourselves."

Wu Yong quickly stepped forward, bowed, and apologized, saying, "Junior Brother Lin, I was wrong earlier. I hope you won't blame me."

"What's the matter, Senior Brother Wu?" Lin Yuan was also a little confused when he saw him bowing so solemnly. The change from arrogance to obsequiousness was too fast.

Where is the arrogance of being born into a powerful and wealthy family?

"I underestimated my junior brother earlier! I thought that people from impoverished backgrounds couldn't be talented, but in the past six months, I've seen that although Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Hu come from humble backgrounds, they are hardworking and diligent, and their martial arts have improved rapidly, making them equal to me."

After speaking, Wu Yong pointed to his fellow disciples who had just walked away: "As for my fellow clansmen and in-laws, they come from high-ranking families and are well-off, yet they are lazy and don't know how to work hard in martial arts. I have urged them to work hard and not tarnish the family's reputation, but they ridicule me and even isolate me."

In the end, Wu Yong, filled with indignation and shame, said in a low voice, "I am ashamed to be associated with them!"

Lin Yuan and Hu Cai exchanged a glance. They rarely interacted with these scions of powerful families in private, only nodding to each other when they met in the martial arts arena, keeping to themselves.

Therefore, I had never inquired about or heard of Wu Yong. It turns out that Wu Yong didn't really want to be different, but rather he was too hardworking and ambitious, which made him stand out from his peers.

Lin Yuan looked at Wu Yong, whose face was slightly red, and did not consider him a friend just because of his apology. He understood very well that if Coach Hong hadn't given him extra training today and asked him to continue training tomorrow morning, Wu Yong probably wouldn't have come to apologize.

Clearly, Wu Yong is very goal-oriented. He is a very utilitarian young man who only associates with people he considers useful and is ashamed to associate with useless people.

However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Senior Brother Wu, this matter isn't up to me; you'll have to ask Instructor Hong. As for us, there's plenty of time; time will tell."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting, turned around and left, but his legs went numb. Fortunately, Hu Cai and Zhao Sheng came forward to help him in time.

Wu Yong remained silent for a moment, watching the three leave, then said loudly, "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother Lin!"

Lin Yuan didn't understand whether he understood or not, but he was too lazy to care. He could come if he wanted to tomorrow morning, or not if he didn't. Whether or not he could get extra training was up to Coach Hong, not something he could control.

After the three left the martial arts hall, Lin Yuan asked Doctor Meng for a medicinal diet recipe for the mid-stage of the Body Tempering Realm. He added Body Tempering Pills and a few other medicinal herbs, saying that it was to regulate the Qi and blood that were overactive. It cost one tael of silver per dose. The three of them took the medicinal diet and left the Li residence.

Hu Cai put his arm around Zhao Sheng and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, winter is over, and it's not cold anymore. Come practice martial arts at my place today! The three of us can practice together, it'll be lively!"

"Oh, today, I have to go to the pavilion," Zhao Sheng stammered.

"Alright then. You can come with us to the peach orchard tomorrow morning!" Hu Cai invited.

Upon hearing that he was going to the peach grove to practice with Lin Yuan, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but think of the Red Instructor's long whip and immediately shrank his neck: "I'll check tomorrow morning; there are some things going on at the pavilion these days."

"Junior Brother Zhao, I don't believe Li Tingzuo can stop you from practicing martial arts?" Hu Cai didn't believe it.

"Oh dear, we can't trouble Uncle with everything. We'll talk about it later." Zhao Sheng waved his hand. "I'll go to the pavilion first."

After saying that, Zhao Sheng left.

After he left, Hu Cai whispered to Lin Yuan, "Junior Brother Zhao has been a bit lax lately."

Lin Yuan pointed in the direction Zhao Sheng had gone and laughed, "This road isn't the shortest to Carp Pavilion; it actually takes you two streets around."

"Huh?" Hu Cai was taken aback upon hearing this. After thinking about it seriously, he realized it was true and suddenly clapped his hands. "Junior Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you? You're even keeping it from us?"

Lin Yuan asked suspiciously, "Didn't Brother Zhao have a prostitute he used to date? Which street did she live on?"

"Hey, it's Fish Lane Street. Walk straight to the end, then towards the pier." Hu Cai's tone gradually turned angry. "Didn't he quit?"

"Who knows? He won't tell us. He's so determined, who can persuade him?" Lin Yuan said helplessly. "He was probably frightened by Doctor Meng last year. Everyone's afraid of dying, and men are afraid of impotence. Now he's recovered, and his martial arts have improved..."

"well……"

The two looked at each other and sighed, neither of them mentioning Zhao Sheng again.

……

Back at the Hu family's courtyard, the two ate a special meal. They didn't push themselves too hard in the afternoon, but just practiced their boxing skills. In the evening, they applied ointment to each other and rested.

Lin Yuan continued to use the oil lamp at the Hu family's house, writing down Master Xu's explanations of the Six Caos. The main content of this book was written by Master Xu. Lin Yuan didn't know much about the Six Caos, while Master Xu was the expert. He could only add his own insights, focusing on problem-solving approaches and formulas. The two complemented each other.

Early the next morning.

Lin Yuan and Hu Cai arrived together at the small peach grove inside the Li residence, where Instructor Hong was already waiting.

Wu Yong also came today, and Coach Hong did not refuse the disciple who wanted to practice more.

Her approach was to grant her wish.

This time, Hu Cai and Wu Yong consciously stood behind Lin Yuan, giving him a step, clearly not vying for the head position with him.

Lin Yuan was still the one who got the most severe beatings among the three.

The advantage is that he can always enter a state of complete absorption immediately, making his physical body tempering the fastest.

The downside is that whenever he collapses and has to rest, not only will Hu Cai come to help him, but Wu Yong will also eagerly come to help him.

"Junior brother, hang in there!" the two said in unison, their eyes full of encouragement and admiration.

Lin Yuan could tell that the two of them were conflicted. They wanted to take more lashes to quickly enter a state of self-forgetfulness, but they were also afraid and hesitant. So they could only hope that Lin Yuan could stand in front and withstand the fire, and they would be happy to get some benefit from it.

Lin Yuan was somewhat helpless about their conflicted behavior. He was indeed the fastest to improve, but he was also the one who suffered the most!

He couldn't help but think that they should share both the hardships and the joys, so he quietly stepped back a step, wanting to be on par with the two of them and distribute the firepower among them.

But Hu Cai and Wu Yong each stepped back a step, and Wu Yong spoke up: "Junior Brother Lin, do you feel the space is too small to move around freely?"

"Junior brother, I'll give you a little more space." Hu Cai immediately took another step back.

"Yes," Wu Yong echoed, consciously keeping his distance from Hu Cai.

Lin Yuan didn't retreat. Without saying a word, he silently turned around. However, he seemed to hear a soft laugh. He looked up at Instructor Hong and saw that she was still very cold and aloof, shaking the leather whip in her hand. It seemed that it was not her.

But who else is around besides her?

Lin Yuan glanced at it a couple more times!

"Slap slap..."

Such moments of self-forgetfulness are always bittersweet, and Lin Yuan was so immersed in them that he couldn't pull himself out.

Time flies like water, and the days of studying and practicing martial arts have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lost in the process of tempering his body, Lin Yuan made rapid progress. Finally, in mid-March, he broke through to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, reaching the Great Blood Realm and becoming a martial artist who had successfully tempered his body.

He caught up with Li Shi's physical strength, and although he was not as experienced as Li Shi in actual combat, even a newborn calf has the power to throw punches.

Hu Cai also broke through to the Perfect Body Tempering Realm shortly after, and was only one step away from becoming a Bone Forging Realm Martial Master.

Zhao Sheng is still at the mid-stage of Body Tempering. On the road of life, some people will always fall behind.

Throughout Lin Yuan's two lives, on his path of studying and practicing martial arts, there were always companions who fell behind for various reasons, and sometimes it was himself.

Just like the disciples in the martial arts arena come and go, very few can actually persevere to the end.

No wonder Master Xu, that shrewd man, looked down on Zhao Sheng and refused to even give him a name. Sometimes, it's hard to change one's temperament.

He just didn't expect Hu Cai to persevere until now, and even dare to practice with him. He guessed that this might be because Hu Cai had been competing with his father for a long time in his early years in order to learn martial arts, which gradually formed his obsession with learning martial arts since childhood.

As the saying goes, the master can only lead you to the door; the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself!

To Lin Yuan's surprise, over the past few months, Wu Yong, this arrogant young master from a powerful family, gradually joined their group and became a new companion.

Hu Cai was a man of strong emotions. When he met someone he got along with, he would take the initiative to invite them to practice martial arts together. After getting closer to Wu Yong, he took the initiative to invite him to practice martial arts in Hu's courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yong actually agreed. When he came, he brought a generous gift for the Hu family and also gave one to Lin Yuan. He really acted like a scion of a powerful family.

decent!

Lin Yuan received the benefits but was not resentful; in fact, he was quite happy with it.

Some people leave, and some people join.

The Hu family courtyard was restored to the atmosphere of the three practicing martial arts.
