From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 47 Martial Arts Examination Goal: Demon-Subduing Saber Technique

Three days later, on the training ground, Su Yu finished his stance and stood still.

The warm medicinal power within his body completely dissipated, and a sense of emptiness and hunger resurfaced in his meridians.

"That's it?"

"Sigh, the effects of this red ginseng and jade skin pill will only last for three days at most."

Su Yu then took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

"One pill every three days, that's ten pills a month. At the martial arts school's internal price of ten taels of silver per pill, the monthly expense for these pills would be one hundred taels!"

Su Yu suddenly felt a toothache.

We're short of money, we're short of money, damn it, we're still short of money!

However, now that I'm a martial artist myself, I should have many more ways to make money. I'll ask Senior Brother Xu about it then.

We can try our luck at the Blackwater River again. If we can get our hands on that precious medicine we discovered before, it might be a fortune.

That Black Steel Ghost Crab was simply too powerful; I was no match for it before. Now that I've become a martial artist, perhaps I can give it a try.

I also need to go back and check on Qingxi Village. Although my older brother and I had already agreed that Ya'er would notify me if anything happened, I can't just stay away and not go back to check on it.

I wonder how Su Can is doing, and whether he has also broken through to the Martial Realm.

If he also breaks through, then Cao Bin's threat will be easily eliminated.

……

"Junior Brother Su, why are you sighing?"

A fragrant breeze wafted by, accompanied by the sound of a fan being waved.

Su Yu looked up and saw Jiang Liuchuan and Lin Wanzhu walking side by side.

Jiang Liuchuan was still dressed in brocade robes, gently waving a folding fan, exuding the elegance of a wealthy young master.

Senior Sister Lin changed into a light purple dress, which made her skin look even whiter and her figure more graceful and charming.

"Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Jiang," Su Yu said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Hey, this is too formal!" Jiang Liuchuan closed his folding fan, feigning displeasure. "Now that you're a martial artist too, we're on equal footing. Just call me Brother Jiang from now on."

Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes darted around as she looked Su Yu up and down, her gaze sparkling with admiration: "Inferior aptitude, yet you managed to break through to the Martial Artist realm. Junior Brother Su, if your story were written into a novel, it would probably attract the admiration of many young ladies from noble families. By the way, you're from outside the city, aren't you?"

"Fishermen from Qingxi Village," Su Yu said frankly.

"It's even more difficult for someone from a fisherman's background." Jiang Liuchuan clicked his tongue. He knew how poor fishermen were. His family's several aquatic medicinal herb cultivation plots employed many fishermen.

Lin Wanzhu took a half step closer, seemingly unintentionally puffing out her chest, and the familiar warm magnolia fragrance instantly lingered around Su Yu's nose.

"Junior brother, in martial arts cultivation, each step is a new level, and each step is a mountain of gold. I've watched you grow step by step to this point, and I know how hard it's been for you. Now that you've broken through to become a martial artist, this is a small token of my appreciation."

She took out a neatly folded silver note from her bosom, held it between two fingers, and handed it to Su Yu: "Here is a hundred taels of silver note, take it!"

Su Yu was taken aback and subconsciously declined, "Senior Sister, this is too much. I still owe you ten taels of silver..."

"Take it!"

Without saying a word, Lin Wanzhu stuffed the silver note into Su Yu's collar.

Jiang Liuchuan, standing to the side, was slightly surprised. His second senior sister seemed easy to talk to, but in reality, she had a cold and aloof attitude that kept people at arm's length.

Countless people tried to get close to her, but she ignored them all.

Why are you so concerned about Su Yu?

Thinking of this, a hint of gossipy curiosity flashed in his eyes. Could it be that his senior sister had taken a liking to Su Yu?

After all, Su Yu is quite handsome, but his strength is not enough. Senior Sister has already reached the Body Refining Realm, and with Su Yu's talent, it will probably be difficult for him to break through to the Body Refining Realm.

It's a pity. If he had broken through to the Body Refining Realm, his senior sister might have actually taken a liking to him.

Seeing Su Yu decline, Lin Wanzhu admired him even more, saying, "Su Yu, let me be frank. I'm a businesswoman, I don't do unprofitable deals. This hundred taels isn't a loan, it's an investment. I have high hopes for your future, so don't let me down."

investment?

So that's what my senior sister was planning, but why did she invest in Su Yu instead of Chen Fan?

Jiang Liuchuan had a sudden inspiration and remembered that this senior sister came from the Lin Clan Chamber of Commerce and was known for her financial support.

The number of retainers in the Lin Clan Chamber of Commerce has been increasing in the past two years. Most of them have been supported since the beginning of the Chamber of Commerce and have remained loyal to it after their breakthroughs.

Chen Fan is exceptionally talented and has the support of his master and many senior brothers. Investing in him would probably just be icing on the cake. Moreover, he is a direct descendant of his master and it is unlikely that he will become a guest of the Lin family.

So that's why Senior Sister Lin decided to sponsor Su Yu.

Since Senior Sister Lin values ​​it, wouldn't it seem like I have no taste if I didn't make a move? Anyway, a mere hundred taels is nothing.

"Haha! Since Senior Sister has given a congratulatory gift, Senior Brother can't be stingy!" Jiang Liuchuan laughed loudly, took out a hundred-tael silver note, and generously slapped it into Su Yu's hand.

"Brother Su, take this! Use this money to buy medicine and break through to the Flesh Refining Realm as soon as possible. Then we brothers can go to the inner city and have some fun!"

Su Yu accepted the silver note, his mind clear.

That's what circles are all about.

When you prove your worth, resources will naturally gravitate towards you.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, thank you, Senior Sister Lin." Su Yu stopped being coy and solemnly accepted the gifts. "I will remember this kindness."

……

Inner courtyard, main house.

"No, we won't accept it."

Qin Fangqiong slumped in her chair, a few peanuts in her hand, eating them with relish, and her answer was firm and decisive.

"Master, Su Yu's comprehension is truly astonishing. He mastered the White Ape Fist in an instant! With such comprehension, even if his innate talent is not great, he may still go far on the path of martial arts."

Qin Yu, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat puzzled.

Dad clearly thought highly of Su Yu before, and even gave him pills. Why did he stop accepting them after Su Yu actually broke through?

"Click."

Qin Fangqiong chewed on a peanut, looking at Xu Feng with disdain: "Third brother, do you think your personal disciples are like cabbages? If I take one in, I have to support one!"

"Su Yu is not like you, with family support. As his master, I can only concentrate my resources on cultivating one person. He's unlucky, and his talent is not as good as Chen Fan's."

Xu Feng was speechless upon hearing this.

Reality is cruel. In previous years, Su Yu might have been a true disciple, but this year he has already accepted Chen Fan.

However, although Chen Fan's talent was better, he always believed that Chen Fan's character was not up to par.

"Master, it's a real pity that Su Yu's talent is being wasted like this. He has such good comprehension; perhaps he could have made a name for himself with the White Ape Fist. Even if he can't break through to the Body Refinement stage in the future, he can still bring out the might of your White Ape Fist."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fangqiong paused for a moment as she reached for the peanuts.

Everyone in Blackrock City knows that he has two famous skills: the White Ape Fist and the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade!

These two unique skills were obtained from a great man when he was young, which changed his life and he has always wanted to pass them on.

Unfortunately, although his apprentices are quite good, none of them have been able to truly make a name for themselves, which has always been a source of worry for him.

Qin Fangqiong remained silent for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her cloudy old eyes.

"How about this?"

He picked up a few more peanuts from the plate and said slowly:

"If Su Yu can enter the top twenty in the martial arts examination three months later, I will accept him as my personal disciple."

Xu Feng looked troubled after hearing this. "Master, the three major families are going to form an enforcement team for this martial arts competition. The selection is highly prestigious, and I'm afraid all forces will send people to participate. It will be the most competitive competition in recent years. Su Yu has only just broken through, so it may be difficult for him to enter the top twenty."

"It will certainly be difficult, but if he can't do it, it's not worth me taking out my life savings for him. As for Chen Fan, the goal I set for him is to be in the top ten. If Su Yu can't even get into the top twenty, then he's far behind Chen Fan."

Qin Fangqiong's voice was cold and hard, and then she added:

"However, since you say he has good comprehension, we can't deny him a chance."

He pulled a yellowed booklet from his pocket and tossed it to Xu Feng:

"Teach him the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber too. If he's truly gifted, with the White Ape Fist and the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber, he might have a chance to enter the top twenty!"
