Chapter 11: I've acknowledged this master; I'll make a note of it.
"My body feels lighter."
"The strength seems to have increased a lot."
Lin Zhou walked a few steps in the courtyard, his steps light and nimble, as if he had just taken off the dozens of kilograms of sandbags tied to his body.
My arms, which were originally a bit thin, have become much more shapely.
However, Lin Zhou soon felt a little dizzy. He had exhausted too much energy when he had his epiphany. If it weren't for the medicinal baths and the nourishing Qi and Blood Soup over the past two days, he would have been in great pain.
I'm afraid this sudden enlightenment won't elevate Crane Style Fist to the minor mastery level.
"Xiao Zhou, take this Qi and Blood Pill."
At this moment, Liang Jingchun, who was standing to the side, excitedly handed over a blood-red pill and had Lin Zhou take it.
After taking the Qi and Blood Pills.
A warm current emanated from his abdomen and spread throughout his limbs and bones.
The dizziness that had been there gradually dissipated.
Afterwards, Liang Jingchun helped Lin Zhou back to the main room and ordered the blood and qi soup and other dishes prepared by the kitchen to be served.
After drinking the blood-nourishing soup and eating his fill, Lin Zhou finally regained his energy and spirit.
"Come."
"Let's have a friendly competition."
Liang Jingchun looked at Lin Zhou with anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay, teacher."
Lin Zhou nodded.
The master and apprentice walked into the courtyard and each assumed the stance of Crane Style Fist.
"Attack me with all your might."
Liang Jingchun began to speak.
The words were spoken.
Lin Zhou no longer held back and began to use the Crane Fist technique, leaping forward like a ferocious bird flapping its wings. Every move he made was extremely fierce, and the sound of air being torn apart echoed through the air.
Moreover, the fights between the master and his disciple were extremely fast.
However, Liang Jingchun deliberately slowed down and exchanged a few blows with Lin Zhou.
A moment later.
Lin Zhou stood there panting heavily, his body radiating heat and his forehead covered in sweat.
On the other hand, Liang Jingchun looked at Lin Zhou with a satisfied expression.
"The Crane Style Fist has been partially mastered."
"good."
"You've shortened your hard work by several months in one go."
"The next step is mastery."
"Once you reach the mid-stage of Leather Refinement, you can officially become a member of the guild."
"I can collect my monthly allowance from the guild now."
"Your senior brother's outer hall happens to have available spots."
Liang Jingchun said with a smile.
"However, the most important thing is the pharmacist assessment. If a junior pharmacist is registered in the guild, the monthly salary is several times that of a regular member of the guild, and the status is very high."
"You're ready to make house calls now."
"For house calls, junior pharmacists split the consultation fee 50/50."
"As for intermediate pharmacists, the ratio is 70/30, with you taking 70% and the gang only taking 30%."
Liang Jingchun added a few more words, in his opinion that the breakthrough in pharmacist was far better than that of a formal member.
"Go take a shower first."
"After that, my master and I went to the Pharmacist Academy to become disciples of Tang Qiyuan."
Liang Jingchun had already arranged for a tub of water for bathing.
A moment later.
Lin Zhou and his apprentice arrived at the Pharmacist Academy, where tables and chairs had already been set up in the training ground.
When Liang Jingchun and Lin Zhou came in, Tang Qiyuan, who was sitting in front of the lecture hall, immediately brightened up.
"Brother Liang."
"Small boat".
"Come in, come inside and have some tea."
"You all need to focus on your studies and not get distracted."
Tang Qiyuan smiled broadly at Liang Jingchun and Lin Zhou, then, before leaving, he spoke forcefully to the apprentices behind him.
"Yes, Master Tang!"
The apprentices bowed respectfully, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
The difference in treatment before and after left these veteran apprentices feeling bitter.
However, when he thought of Lin Zhou's superhuman talent, he felt relieved. Such a genius was simply incomparable to ordinary people like them, especially his nose that could distinguish eleven kinds of herbs.
Even a dog's nose isn't that sensitive.
at the same time.
Inside the main hall of the school.
Liang Jingchun then made an outrageous demand regarding the resource allocation Lin Zhou received.
"Brother Tang, I'll get straight to the point."
"Three Qi and Blood Pills per month."
"Two medicinal herbs that are at least five years old."
"And your teaching of the Tang Family Medical Classic."
Liang Jingchun looked at Tang Qiyuan in front of him and said in a firm tone.
What he wanted was more than what the official disciples of the gang could give him.
However, when Liang Jingchun thought about his disciple's talent, with Tang Qiyuan's support and all the Qi and Blood Pills he had saved, he decided to give them to his disciple.
Perhaps in less than three months, Lin Zhou will be able to break through to the Great Perfection of Crane Style Fist.
However, once you reach the highest level, the speed at which you can elevate the Crane Form Fist to its perfect state will slow down.
However, Liang Jingchun had already decided that after Lin Zhou achieved mastery, he could switch to cultivating a related technique.
Among them, Tang Qiyuan's Tang Family Medical Classic is a medical book created exclusively by their Tang family. It is rumored that one can use the medical book to advance to the ranks of senior pharmacists.
One of the advanced pharmacists is required to concoct and refine the Meridian Opening Pill.
The Tang Family Medical Classic contains methods for making elixirs that can open up meridians.
"it is good."
"I agree."
"Moreover, I can increase the number of Qi and Blood Pills I receive each month to five."
Tang Qiyuan not only agreed, but even added two Qi and Blood Pills for Lin Zhou, deducting them from his own share.
He was getting old, and he could refine some Qi and Blood Pills himself. It would only cost some money to buy the herbs. He could do that for the disciples that Tang Qiyuan wanted to train.
"Alright, Brother Tang, I'll accept you as my teacher."
Liang Jingchun said with a smile.
Tang Qiyuan belonged to the former leader's faction within the gang. He had been a mid-level pharmacist in the gang during the former leader's time, which was not a low position.
He was considered one of the core figures in the former gang leader's faction.
"Little Zhou, recognize your teacher!"
Liang Jingchun patted Lin Zhou on the shoulder.
Subsequently, under Tang Qiyuan's guidance, Lin Zhou paid homage to his grandmaster, offered incense, and became Tang Qiyuan's disciple.
Liang Jingchun did not stay long, as he had matters to attend to within the gang and left in haste.
"Xiao Zhou, your teacher Liang isn't doing too well lately."
"As a boxing instructor who teaches apprentices within the gang, I was assigned the job of patrolling Anhe Street in the afternoon."
"That's tough work. Anhe Street is close to the inland river docks, and the territories of several factions are adjacent to each other, so fights break out from time to time."
"The matter was originally handled by the constables of the yamen, but now the gangs in Taihu County are the most powerful, and the yamen is weak."
"Many government affairs have been delegated to gangs."
"But don't worry, Xiao Zhou."
"I'll find a way to transfer Brother Liang to another place."
"It will just take time. The one who issued the transfer order to you, Teacher Liang, is the young leader of the gang leader's faction, a ruthless character."
Tang Qiyuan watched Liang Jingchun's hurried departure in the distance and then spoke.
"My disciple thanks Master Tang!"
Lin Zhou clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said.
"Young Master."
At this moment, Lin Zhou mentally made a mental note of the young gang leader.
"Don't be so formal."
"Come on, let's continue our lesson on herbal identification today, and try to prepare the first hemostatic powder."
Tang Qiyuan spoke to Lin Zhou with great enthusiasm.
As for the old apprentices in the martial arts arena outside, Tang Qiyuan wrote down the answers to the herb identification test on a piece of paper and sent one of his old apprentices to watch the test.
