Come to the door
Among the nine closed disciples at the martial arts headquarters, two have already broken through to the level of Xiaocheng in their golden body skills and possess superior combat power.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the next one or two years, all the remaining disciples will break through to the realm of Xiaocheng.
Except for her, Zhang Sumei.
Because if you want to break through this realm, you must buy a precious medicinal powder called gold tempering powder from the museum and apply it to the whole body. Only then can you achieve the golden body skill.
The value of each portion of gold-tempering powder is around four taels of silver, and to achieve a minor breakthrough in the gold body skill, one needs to use gold-tempering powder at least three times.
Twelve taels of silver may be nothing to some wealthy families, but to her, it is undoubtedly a sky-high price.
"Do...do I really want to marry into the Wen family?" She sat on the ground helplessly, sighing with a depressed look.
The Wen family is a wealthy gentry family in Luoyan City. The family is extremely wealthy. Several young masters of the Wen family also practiced martial arts in the Jinshen Martial Arts School, but due to limited qualifications, they were not able to become closed disciples of the martial arts school.
About half a year ago, many matchmakers came to his house to discuss marriage, and the master of the Wen family wanted him to be his daughter-in-law.
While practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena every day, many male disciples, including the young master of the Wen family, expressed their affection for her.
To be fair, his appearance can only be regarded as above average, but she has unique bones, which is her core competitiveness.
Because the descendants of people who practice martial arts usually have better root bones. What’s more, if she has the root bone phenomenon, if it can be passed on to future generations, the root bones of future generations will become even better.
In a world where martial arts is respected, excellent bones undoubtedly mean strong strength, and the family will become more prosperous.
However, the number of women who practice martial arts is already rare, and those with good bones are even rarer.
It can be said that her fundamental qualifications are the expensive dowry she was born with, and this dowry is undoubtedly more valuable than the beauty of an ordinary woman.
If she can marry into the Wen family, with the help of the Wen family's abundant wealth, she will no longer have to worry about martial arts resources.
Not to mention breaking through to a small level of achievement, given time, it is not impossible to achieve great success in the Golden Body Kung Fu. It can be said to be a win-win choice.
He comes from an ordinary family and has a younger brother. Even her parents thought she could choose to marry into a wealthy family.
However, she never agreed, just because deep in her heart, she always had persistence.
Even if she marries into a wealthy family, she will ultimately be dependent on others. She obviously has such excellent foundation, why should she live her life depending on other people's faces?
If she married into a wealthy family and gave birth to children, would she really have the time and energy to practice martial arts?
She doesn't know, but she doesn't want to gamble, she doesn't want to rely on others, she just wants to rely on her own strength to achieve dazzling achievements in martial arts and become a master.
But as half a year passed, she became more and more confused. She didn't know if there was any point in persisting like this.
Even though she spends 50% more time practicing hard every day than other disciples, her cultivation speed is still at the bottom.
When practicing martial arts, resources are really important, and this is especially true for body training martial arts.
She sat paralyzed on the ground of the martial arts arena. The sky became darker and darker, and darkness gradually enveloped her.
…
Just then.
"Boom, boom, boom."
At the door of the martial arts hall, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Zhang Sumei was stunned for a moment, then stood up.
"Coming."
She opened the door, and a man slightly taller than him came into view.
"What's the matter..." The moment she saw Lu Yang, Zhang Sumei was startled for a moment, then her eyes widened, as if she had thought of something, "Is it you?"
She frowned and seemed hesitant to speak, as if she couldn't remember Lu Yang's name.
After all, Lu Yang had stayed in the Golden Body Martial Arts School for three years. Even though she had quit for more than half a year, she still remembered Lu Yang's appearance.
In fact, most people in the martial arts school should have a good impression of Lu Yang, because his predecessor in the Golden Body Martial Arts School was definitely a typical negative example.
As one of the largest martial arts gyms in Luoyan City, the Jinshen Martial Arts Gym is sent by their elders to practice martial arts every year. However, the martial arts gym does not accept all disciples.
To enter the Jinshen Martial Arts School to practice martial arts, two conditions must be met. The first is tuition.
The annual tuition of the Jinshen Martial Arts School is as high as three taels of silver. There are only three hours of teaching time every day, and one third of the year is holiday.
In addition, the martial arts hall will provide free body refining medicine soup three times a month to help disciples enhance their energy, blood and physique. After three times, it will cost one hundred dollars to purchase each time.
The tuition fee of three taels of silver is already a sky-high price for most civilian families.
In addition to tuition fees, there is another condition, which is basic qualifications.
Only those with an innate root bone of more than three ounces can enter the Golden Body Martial Arts Hall to practice martial arts.
Among the many students, Lu Yang's conditions are definitely considered favorable. As an executioner, Lu Dahong's income is higher than that of most families, and he can even afford to buy an additional body-refining medicinal soup once or twice a month.
But this is only secondary. The most enviable thing about Lu Yang is his ability to earn four or three dollars.
Among the hundreds of disciples in the martial arts hall, 70% of the disciples have a base of between 32 to 325 qian, and of the remaining 30%, 25% have a base of 325 to 329 qian.
, only half of them have root bones that can exceed four taels.
Lu Yang's qualifications belong to this half.
If Lu Yang could practice martial arts hard and with Lu Dahong's full support, he would have had a good chance of becoming one of the closed disciples.
However, his predecessor did not seize the opportunity at all. He was opportunistic and undisciplined in his daily martial arts training, and his diligence was inferior to that of ordinary disciples.
But if God doesn't take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences. Although Lu Yang relied on his excellent skills and his cultivation progress was pretty good among ordinary disciples, he was still persuaded by the owner to quit and left three years after joining the hall.
Martial Arts School.
A person who was not lacking in resources but also had excellent skills was eventually kicked out of the martial arts gym. Lu Yang became the laughing stock of the martial arts gym for a while.
Now that Lu Yang came to visit again, Zhang Sumei could not help but frown.
"Lu Yang?" She finally remembered Lu Yang's name and looked a little cold, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yang had a family background that he envied, but he did not cherish it, which led to her having a bad impression of Lu Yang.
Information spread very slowly in ancient times, and Lu Yang's display of strength at the execution ground happened yesterday, so the news had not yet reached the martial arts hall.
Lu Yang didn't care about her attitude. Although he basically had the memory of his predecessor, his impression of Zhang Sumei was very vague.
"I'm here to see the owner." He smiled and replied.
