Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

"From now on, you can come to me every month to get three 'Blood Strengthening Pills'. These pills are made from nine kinds of medicinal herbs, including Dragon Yang Grass. Their speed and effect in nourishing blood and qi are much stronger than tiger meat."

The Blood-Strengthening Pill sells for two taels of silver per pill.

Of course, this is just the price on paper.

In reality, there are often prices available but no market for them.

Once the pills are refined, they are immediately reserved by various martial arts schools and powerful families.

Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money.

Its popularity stems from its unparalleled advantages over the meat of ferocious beasts like tigers.

That's speed!

The blood and qi in the body dissipate and spread faster than the meat of a beast of the same price.

Therefore, it can be said that buying Zhuangxue Dan is buying "time".

In the same amount of time, taking the Blood-Strengthening Pill allows one to absorb more blood and qi than taking the meat of a wild beast.

For powerful families, money is secondary; effectiveness is paramount.

Thinking of this, Liang Xingzhou smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Three Qi and Blood Pills are actually a very small number for a martial artist like Li Chuan with internal strength.

One day's supply is enough for one day at most, so three pills will only last for three days.

Giving only three pills a month is a bit embarrassing to admit.

But there's nothing I can do...

He's too poor!

As the saying goes, youth has the greatest advantage in boxing.

As he grew older, his vital energy and blood began to decline.

I have to take many rare supplements every month to barely keep up with the rate of depletion.

Even so, things are getting worse day by day.

But Songfeng Martial Arts School only has one master of the Transformation Realm, and he cannot fall down until a second master of the Transformation Realm appears.

Otherwise, those who challenged us before would probably come knocking on our door one by one to settle scores.

"Ah Chuan, don't blame me for being a little stingy. Your junior brother Qin is injured like this, and it will cost a lot of silver to heal him."

At this point, Liang Xingzhou sighed again.

Even the three Blood-Strengthening Pills given to Li Chuan were taken from his own medicinal supplements.

Although this will cause his blood and energy to deteriorate even faster.

But Liang Xingzhou always felt that as a master, he couldn't mistreat his disciple.

Fine, I'll just suffer myself.

"Master, I am already grateful for your gift of the elixir, how could I possibly blame you?"

Li Chuan clasped his hands in thanks, his expression sincere.

He knew very well that Liang Xingzhou owed him nothing.

He paid tuition, and Liang Xingzhou taught martial arts, so the two were even.

Therefore, he did not take these three Blood Strengthening Pills for granted.

Liang Xingzhou said with relief, "It's best that you think that way."

Just as Li Chuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something else:

"Master, my elder brother Li Qing also has inferior aptitude. I want to send him to a martial arts school to learn martial arts."

He had promised Li Qing this when he was learning martial arts.

Once he has mastered martial arts, he will send him to a martial arts school.

He hadn't forgotten that his monthly food allowance of one tael was earned by Li Qing through countless days and nights of hard work.

Now that he has become a martial arts scholar, his monthly salary of fifteen taels of silver is more than enough to support him in attending the martial arts school.

Liang Xingzhou waved his hand:

"I won't accept tuition fees; you'll have to take care of your own meals."

Seeing that Li Chuan was still hesitant, he smiled and said:

"After all, you are the first martial arts scholar in our martial arts school, which has boosted my prestige. It is only right that we receive some preferential treatment."

Li Chuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The tuition fee for Songfeng Martial Arts School is ten taels of silver, which saves me some money!

After saying goodbye to Liang Xingzhou, Li Chuan left Songfeng Martial Arts School.

"Go back and tell my older brother the good news, and bring him to the martial arts school while you're at it."

Having made up his mind, Li Chuan didn't linger and went straight back to his home in the inner courtyard.

……

"Mother, I'm back."

Wang Xiumei was chatting and laughing with her neighbors, looking very content.

Upon seeing Li Chuan, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Chuan'er is back. This is your Aunt Wei, she lives next door."

"This is your Aunt Wei's daughter, Sisi."

Wang Xiumei stood up and introduced the two people beside her to Li Chuan.

Aunt Wei, dressed in a long blue dress and with a dignified appearance, covered her mouth and chuckled softly upon seeing Li Chuan:

"Xiumei, you've truly raised a fine son! He's even passed the martial arts exam and become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations)! That's remarkable!"

"Sisi, quickly say hello to your Brother Li."

Wei Sisi appeared somewhat shy, her cheeks flushed, and she dared not look directly into Li Chuan's eyes, her voice barely audible:

"Hello, Brother Li."

Li Chuan smiled and nodded, but felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

He was not particularly good-looking; at best, he was considered pretty, but definitely not handsome, and he certainly didn't have the ability to make young women blush.

Perhaps it's this "Martial Arts Scholar" title on his head that's causing all the trouble!

In a short time, Li Chuan gained a deeper understanding of the power of fame and fortune.

After Li Chuan and Wang Xiumei left, Aunt Wei looked at her daughter and sighed inwardly.

As a mother herself, how could she not know about a young girl's feelings of longing for love?

However, Li Chuan was a martial arts scholar, and the two were destined to be from different worlds.

……

inside the house.

Li Chuan's arrival made everyone very happy.

Grandma Lin held his hand the whole time, showing him concern and care.

Even the usually strict grandfather couldn't help but praise her.

They never imagined that Li Chuan would pass the imperial examination so soon after breaking through to the Dark Force realm.

It was only when the county officials came to their door to deliver the good news that they learned of it.

That night, the whole family was so excited they couldn't sleep.

This martial arts scholar is a truly glorious achievement that brings honor to the family!

In the Li family, spanning three generations, only one person, Li Chuan, has emerged.

How could I not be happy!

Li Chuan looked at Li Qing, whose physique was becoming increasingly robust, and laughed:

"Big brother, hurry up and pack your bags. I'll take you to the martial arts school to learn martial arts later."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing was initially delighted, but then repeatedly waved his hands:

"A-Chuan, there's no rush for me to learn martial arts. You don't earn money easily either, so take care of yourself first!"

Li Chuan chuckled:

"Because of my status as a martial arts scholar, my master has waived your tuition fees. I will just provide you with some food expenses each month."

After Li Chuan explained the situation, Li Qing reluctantly agreed.

Qin Sanfeng, who was listening to their conversation from a short distance away, was on the verge of tears.

Although Li Chuan often said that after he succeeded, he would let Li Qing learn martial arts.

But saying it and actually doing it are two different things.

Even if Li Chuan didn't say anything, none of them dared to have any objections.

But Li Chuan did it anyway.

That's what moved her so deeply.

"Ah Qing, when you go to the martial arts school, remember Ah Chuan's kindness. Don't think he owes you anything! Practice hard and make a name for yourself; that's how you repay Ah Chuan!"

Qin Sanfeng said earnestly.

Li Chuan joked:

"My older brother once said that he would be no worse than me in martial arts, and that Grandpa should just wait and see."

Li Qing scratched his head, embarrassed, and said:

"Grandpa, don't listen to Ah Chuan's nonsense. He was ignorant back then, he was so ignorant!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

After having lunch at home, Li Chuan took Li Qing back to Songfeng Martial Arts School.

As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he found Zhuang Beiwang and introduced him:

"Look north, this is my cousin Li Qing. He just arrived at the martial arts school, please take good care of him."

Zhuang Beiwang cried out in pain:

"Senior Brother Li, this isn't your brother, this is my brother!"

"Don't worry, even if Brother Qing asks me to wash his socks, I'll do it right away!"
