70 The Rich and Generous City Lord, a Meeting with the Eight Masters
When the dojo masters nodded in agreement, the breathing of the group of young people behind them had obviously changed a little.
Qin Huai was no exception. This decision was equivalent to putting the lives of dozens or even all of their apprentices and disciples on them.
A good position could definitely save a lot of people from their own dojo.
Bao Ziyan chuckled. âOur eight martial competitions have good prizes. I wonder if there are any additional rewards after the city lord joins?â
!!
âNaturally, there is.â Hu Guanpan seemed to have predicted everything. âThe city lordâs mansion will reward the first place with a precious treasure in the vault, a clear sky pill from Clear Sky Temple.
âA clear sky pill can offset half of the blood qi transformation, and thereâs still a slight chance to touch the fate of the Dao. At the very least, it can cleanse oneâs meridians and improve oneâs cultivation aptitude.â
âHiss~â
Even the dojo masters couldnât help but gasp when they heard this. The value of a half-completed vitality transformation would have to be calculated by boxes if it were to be converted into vitality pills.
But this was only secondary. The key was the chance to touch the fate of the Dao.
It was a pill that could cleanse oneâs meridians and improve oneâs cultivation aptitude. They had only heard of it but had never seen it before.
Even if it could only increase oneâs aptitude by a little, it would still be worth a fortune!
Qing Yunhe sighed with emotion. As expected of the city lord who has been in charge of Pingnan for more than a hundred yearsâ¦
âHall Master Qing, you donât have to be so emotional yet. I havenât finished speaking.
âThereâs also a visiting card personally written by the county governor,â Hu Guanpan said unhurriedly. âYou can enter any martial arts school in Lingjiang county to learn.â
Dong Dong Dong Dongâ¦
The hearts of most of the young people present began to beat faster.
Originally, the recommendation quota for the eight martial arts competition was only for the middle or even middle-lower level martial arts dojos in Lingjiang County.
However, the City Lord Hu Guanpan was talking about the top martial arts school in Lingjiang county. It was like the gap between the eight martial arts centers and the Liu familyâs apothecary.
It wasnât a shameful thing for Great Youâs martial artists to seek knowledge. Just like the promotion of the disciples, it had long become a norm.
If their disciples joined a better martial arts center or sect, it would be a great return to the original martial arts center. At the very least, it would increase their reputation.
This was a convention, a habit that was carved into the bones of the people of Great You.
Hu Guanpan took in everyoneâs expressions. âThereâs more!â
Bai Bashan and the others looked at each other. They knew that the city lord was rich and powerful, but they didnât expect him to be so generous. They couldnât believe it.
âThe last one is that the general in charge of the wolf token will be able to command the iron armored armyâs wolf battalion for three hundred units⦠until the end of the great wave of demons.â Hu Guanpanâs voice was powerful.
The various dojo masters immediately squinted their eyes. The city lord could be said to be rich and overbearing in the first two, but when he said the last thing, it was a bit like he had revealed his true intentions.
They looked at the young man behind Hu Guanpan, who had a similar temperament to him. They finally figured it out.
âThe city lord is so generous. I think itâs to build momentum for the eldest young master,â Bai Bashan said slowly.
âJingshan has been cultivating in seclusion for many years. Itâs time for him to come out and see the world.â Hu Guanpan did not deny it.
âCity Lord, youâre really confident in your sonâs strength. Arenât you afraid of failing in an easy task?â Bao Ziyanâs smile was cold.
Hu Jingshan slowly said, âIf I lose, it proves that these things donât belong to me. Itâs just returning it to its owner, so how can you say that itâs a failure?â
His voice was calm, neither servile nor overbearing in front of the masters of the eight major martial centers.
âI hope your strength is as strong as your confidence, and you can bring me some fun.â Reihom, who was resting with his eyes closed, raised his head slightly and glanced at Hu Jingshan.
âIt seems like I have underestimated Young Master Jingshan.â Bao Ziyan cupped his fists.âI have no objections to these conditions!â
âThen weâll do as the city lord suggests.â
âI have an additional suggestion.â
The dojo masters expressed their opinions one by one.
â¦
The heavy rain poured down like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
âIn this grand martial competition half a year later, the two of you must do your best and give it your all!â
In the ancestral house on Changshan Dojo, Qin Huai and Qi Yangbing stood in front of Sun Yuanshan.
âThen the order of choosing seats is important to our dojo, but your future is just as important. No matter what it is, you canât relax for the next six months.
âFrom today on, your share of the vitality soup, pills, and demon meat will all be doubled,â Sun Yuanshan instructed. âIn addition, come to me for a bath every seven days. Iâve prepared a tonic medicinal bath for you!â
âMany thanks, Master!â Qin Huai and Qi Yangbing cupped their fists and were about to leave.
âBy the way, Qin Huai, stay behind and help me pick some herbs.â Sun Yuanshan called out to Qin Huai.
The two of them watched as Qi Yangbing left.
Sun Yuanshan then said, âYangbing is a good kid. Heâs talented and good at learning, but if he wants to fight for the first placeâ¦especially if we were to fight against Reihom, our chances of victory are pathetically low.â
âIs Reihom really that powerful?â Qin Huai could not help but ask.
âFor two years, Reihom has been at the top of the eight martial roll, and he has never used his full strength.â Sun Yuanshan sighed leisurely. âNow, thereâs also the extremely confident eldest son of the city lord who doesnât show off. Yang Bing doesnât have any chance of winning.â
He changed the topic, and his withered hand patted Qin Huaiâs shoulder heavily.
âBut youâre different! I have high hopes for you!â Sun Yuanshanâs eyes lit up when he looked at Qin Huai.
âYouâre extremely talented, and youâve had the opportunity to have a white dragon at the same level as us! The weakness of the long breath technique in the lower realm will no longer exist!
âIn addition, youâve received most of my true teachings. In the grand martial competition half a year from now, you will definitely have great prospects!â
Sun Yuanshan was very excited. He looked at Qin Huai as if he was looking at his younger self.
This grand martial competition was definitely a great opportunity for this disciple of his, whether it was the clear sky pill from the Clear Sky Temple, the invitation card personally written by the governor, or the wolf battalion of the armored army.
...
âAs long as you enter the fourth refinement and raise your qi and blood, Reihom might not⦠Iâm definitely not your match!â Sun Yuanshan said firmly.
Qin Huai looked at Sun Yuanshanâs face full of hope and said solemnly, âI will definitely not let you down, Master!
âI wonât let you down either. Iâll add strong and powerful medicine to your medicinal bath! As long as you can resist it, you will definitely advance rapidly.â Sun Yuanshan patted Qin Huaiâs shoulder heavily.
As Qin Huai watched his master speak, he subconsciously glanced at the medicinal field. He had a few guesses about the âstrong medicineâ and âfierce medicineâ in his heart.
Shua shua shua.
The eldest brother, Rong Li, suddenly came up the mountain with an umbrella.
âMaster, thereâs an invitation from the Thunderbolt Dojo. Theyâd like to invite you to a small pavilion outside the city for a gathering.â Rong Li handed over a letter.
Sun Yuanshan opened it and saw that it was indeed Bai Bashanâs handwriting.
âYouâre inviting me in the middle of the night on such a rainy dayâ¦â he muttered to himself. It was most likely about the grand martial competition.
âYou guys have a good rest. Iâm going out for a while.â Sun Yuanshan patted Qin Huaiâs shoulder and quickly went down the mountain.
The small pavilion was not far away. It was about twenty square meters and a structure that the city lordâs mansion had built in the early years for passersby to rest.
...
As soon as Sun Yuanshan arrived, he saw Bai Bashanâs tall figure.
âSenior Sun!â Bai Bashan smiled and invited Sun Yuanshan into the pavilion.
âThere must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!â Sun Yuanshan was alert and clenched his long sleeve.
âWhen I was young, your name was already well-known in Pingnan City. I didnât expect you would still be so lively when I became the head.â Bai Bashan sighed. âItâs said that time waits for no man, but you seem to be more energetic as you age⦠Tsk, tsk, the long breath technique is really good stuff.â
âIf you have something to say, just say it.â Sun Yuanshan put on a fake smile. The Bai Bashan he knew was not this kind of person.
âThereâs no rush.â Seeing that Sun Yuanshan did not want to talk to him, Bai Bashan instantly turned serious.
The two of them sat in a small pavilion. Without a word, they looked at each other in the rain.
Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
The other masters of the eight major martial arts centers had all comeâ¦
