Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Li Yongfeng Enters Martial Arts (Request for Yue Tickets, Recommendation Tickets, and Followers!)
“Training Martial Artists?”
Wang Sheng furrowed his brows.
Training Martial Artists was not just a matter of speaking; he had the aid of a progress bar, so he surpassed many challenges, but in reality, for ordinary people, Cultivation Technique, resources, and talents were all indispensable.
The Cultivation Technique contributed by Xu Qu was available, so the issue was not significant.
The most important were still two issues.
Resources and talents.
As for talents, there was no point in discussing it. Without practice, no one could know what the talents were like.
The most crucial issue was resources; even Wang Sheng couldn’t have cultivated so quickly without that jar of Tiger Bone Ointment.
If the village wanted to continuously train Martial Artists, where would the resources come from?
He could provide a part, but only a part. If more were needed, his own cultivation would not be sufficient unless he waited for a while longer for his planting skills to advance further.
So, in the end, it depended on what Village Chief Zhou Zhengwen thought.
“Village Chief, you should be clear about what’s needed to train Martial Artists, right?”
Village Chief Zhou Zhengwen nodded and said, “I know, I know. Actually, I had never thought about training someone as formidable as you. Our village is not wealthy after all, but if it’s about training a few First Grade Martial Artists, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“First Grade Martial Artists? In that case, it’s indeed feasible!”
First Grade Martial Artists did not consume much; enough food was sufficient for them. The cultivation just wasn’t as fast without using special resources.
He could provide for that now; one Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill was enough for a few beginners to use for one day.
Thinking of the debts of gratitude he had accumulated since childhood, he sighed internally and said, “Village Chief, how about this, let Xu Qu test who is capable of cultivation first, then come to find me after confirmation!”
Training a few First Grade Martial Artists would indeed let him be free from having to take care of everything personally.
“Okay, we’ll do as you suggested, Yun Sheng, but what should we come to you for afterward?”
Wang Sheng was startled.
The Village Chief was merely asking for his opinion; his overthinking might have gone too far.
Had he become too cautious, even suspecting ill intentions from those close to him?
It seemed that he needed to adjust his mindset recently.
Thinking this, he smiled and said, “When the time comes, Village Chief, just bring them over, I can still offer some help.”
The Village Chief walked away, both happy and somewhat puzzled.
It wasn’t long before he approached Xu Qu.
“Your village wants to train Martial Artists, do you have enough resources?”
Xu Qu and Wang Sheng shared similar thoughts.
The Village Chief repeated his initial idea of just trying to train a few low-level Martial Artists.
“That could work. If that’s the case, just start with the Cultivation Technique I provided. Remember, only those between ages 12 and 30 can practice; it will harm oneself if other ages practice, and it’s not worth the risk, and you need to ensure an abundance of food, particularly meat. If something can be activated within three days, training can begin…never mind, just bring those people to me!”
Xu Qu, indeed knowing much more than Wang Sheng, laid out some restrictive conditions and finally decided to teach personally.
After understanding, the Village Chief left directly and soon gathered all the able-bodied youth in the village.
Aged 12 to 30, weren’t they just the able-bodied?
Qingshan Village was just a small village, so there were not many able-bodied individuals—just over fifty, including Li Yongfeng.
“Village Chief, did you gather us for something?”
These youngsters thought there might be some tasks to do, as there had been many affairs in the village recently.
Zhou Zhengwen smiled and said, “Indeed, there is something, but it’s good news. You should be aware that there are Martial Artists in the village. Yun Sheng helped us get a set of Martial Artist Skills from Doctor Xu, so the village has decided to train some Martial Artists. Of course, whether you can become Martial Artists depends on your own efforts…”
He repeated the conditions he had heard from Xu Qu.
After hearing these conditions, regardless of how difficult they were, the youngsters were extremely excited.
Martial Artists, did they also have a chance to become Martial Artists?
The village chief didn’t say much, but took these people to Xu Qu.
Xu Qu then began teaching them the basic Cultivation Technique.
The young villagers’ cultivation had officially begun.
Wang Sheng did not join in.
The Martial Artist Skills of this world were not the kind he practiced, and he had no way to teach them.
After completing his usual daily exercises at home, he went to Li Wenguang’s house.
At that time, Li Yongfeng had just returned home after finishing his cultivation and was devouring food voraciously.
Clearly, this kind of cultivation was very demanding on food supplies.
The village had made preparations, but his own consumption was not small either.
Li Yongfeng, engrossed in his eating, had not noticed Wang Sheng, but Li Wenguang did.
“Yun Sheng, what brings you here?”
“Uncle Li, I’ve come to bring you something!”
Li Yongfeng then noticed Wang Sheng and greeted him after swallowing his food.
Watching this, Wang Sheng smiled as he set down a paper package containing two Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills.
“Uncle, these are cultivation resources. When Brother Yongfeng cultivates, he can cut a small part, mix it with water, and it has an effect similar to Tiger Bone Ointment!”
Others were left aside; he would provide resources only to those with the necessary talent.
But since he had helped Li Yongfeng’s family so much, he naturally needed to see it through.
“Yun Sheng, this…”
“Uncle Li, you gave me Tiger Bone Ointment, so how can I refuse to help you in return?”
Wang Sheng didn’t give Li Wenguang a chance to speak and cut him off.
In the end, Li Wenguang accepted them, as Li Yongfeng now indeed needed the help of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills.
Seeing him accept them, Wang Sheng smiled and said, “When you run out, you can come and find me again!”
Though he said that, Wang Sheng knew from experience that Li Yongfeng was unlikely to come back for more. When the time came, he would just visit him again.
“Thank you so much, Yun Sheng!” Li Yongfeng also expressed his gratitude.
“It’s nothing. I look forward to seeing Brother Yongfeng become a Martial Artist!”
After a short chat, Wang Sheng left.
Li Yongfeng gazed at the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills left by Wang Sheng, then went into the yard and began practicing the Cultivation Technique Xu Qu had taught.
Xu Qu said that without resources, he should practice to a certain extent each day, as overdoing it could harm the body.
Now with ample resources, there was no such worry.
Once he finished a practice session.
Li Yongfeng felt a profound hunger in his body. Following Wang Sheng’s instruction, he cut a bit of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill, mixed it with water, and drank it.
Feeling the energy being replenished within his body, Li Yongfeng muttered to himself, “This is nothing like Tiger Bone Ointment at all!”
Just from taking one sip, Li Yongfeng knew how precious the gift Wang Sheng had given him was.
…
With the help of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills, the next day under Xu Qu’s instruction, Li Yongfeng completed the “Qi-Blood Boiling, Sound Like Drums” process right in front of everyone.
He had activated his Qi-Blood for the first time!
Wang Sheng, who had come to check on the progress on a whim, happened to witness this.
It seemed that his resources weren’t wasted. Li Yongfeng’s talent was indeed decent, and the village might see the emergence of a third Martial Artist. He could focus even more on his own cultivation!
