Chapter 70 - 70 The Rich and Generous City Lord, a Meeting with the Eight Masters
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. “Our eight martial competitions have good prizes. I wonder if there are any additional rewards after the city lord joins?”
“Naturally, there is.” Hu Guanpan seemed to have predicted everything. “The city lord’s mansion will reward the first place with a precious treasure in the vault, a clear sky pill from Clear Sky Temple.
“A clear sky pill can offset half of the blood qi transformation, and there’s still a slight chance to touch the fate of the Dao. At the very least, it can cleanse one’s meridians and improve one’s cultivation aptitude.”
“Hiss~”
Even the dojo masters couldn’t 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 one’s meridians and improve one’s cultivation aptitude. They had only heard of it but had never seen it before.
Even if it could only increase one’s 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 years…
“Hall Master Qing, you don’t have to be so emotional yet. I haven’t finished speaking.
“There’s also a visiting card personally written by the county governor,” Hu Guanpan said unhurriedly. “You can enter any martial arts school in Lingjiang county to learn.”
Dong Dong Dong Dong…
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 family’s apothecary.
It wasn’t a shameful thing for Great You’s 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 everyone’s expressions. “There’s more!”
Bai Bashan and the others looked at each other. They knew that the city lord was rich and powerful, but they didn’t expect him to be so generous. They couldn’t believe it.
“The last one is that the general in charge of the wolf token will be able to command the iron armored army’s wolf battalion for three hundred units… until the end of the great wave of demons.” Hu Guanpan’s 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.
“The city lord is so generous. I think it’s to build momentum for the eldest young master,” Bai Bashan said slowly.
“Jingshan has been cultivating in seclusion for many years. It’s time for him to come out and see the world.” Hu Guanpan did not deny it.
“City Lord, you’re really confident in your son’s strength. Aren’t you afraid of failing in an easy task?” Bao Ziyan’s smile was cold.
Hu Jingshan slowly said, “If I lose, it proves that these things don’t belong to me. It’s just returning it to its owner, so how can you say that it’s a failure?”
His voice was calm, neither servile nor overbearing in front of the masters of the eight major martial centers.
“I hope your strength is as strong as your confidence, and you can bring me some fun.” Reihom, who was resting with his eyes closed, raised his head slightly and glanced at Hu Jingshan.
“It seems like I have underestimated Young Master Jingshan.” Bao Ziyan cupped his fists.”I have no objections to these conditions!”
“Then we’ll do as the city lord suggests.”
“I have an additional suggestion.”
The dojo masters expressed their opinions one by one.
…
The heavy rain poured down like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.
“In this grand martial competition half a year later, the two of you must do your best and give it your all!”
In the ancestral house on Changshan Dojo, Qin Huai and Qi Yangbing stood in front of Sun Yuanshan.
“Then the order of choosing seats is important to our dojo, but your future is just as important. No matter what it is, you can’t relax for the next six months.
“From today on, your share of the vitality soup, pills, and demon meat will all be doubled,” Sun Yuanshan instructed. “In addition, come to me for a bath every seven days. I’ve prepared a tonic medicinal bath for you!”
“Many thanks, Master!” Qin Huai and Qi Yangbing cupped their fists and were about to leave.
“By the way, Qin Huai, stay behind and help me pick some herbs.” Sun Yuanshan called out to Qin Huai.
The two of them watched as Qi Yangbing left.
Sun Yuanshan then said, “Yangbing is a good kid. He’s talented and good at learning, but if he wants to fight for the first place…especially if we were to fight against Reihom, our chances of victory are pathetically low.”
“Is Reihom really that powerful?” Qin Huai could not help but ask.
“For two years, Reihom has been at the top of the eight martial roll, and he has never used his full strength.” Sun Yuanshan sighed leisurely. “Now, there’s also the extremely confident eldest son of the city lord who doesn’t show off. Yang Bing doesn’t have any chance of winning.”
He changed the topic, and his withered hand patted Qin Huai’s shoulder heavily.
“But you’re different! I have high hopes for you!” Sun Yuanshan’s eyes lit up when he looked at Qin Huai.
“You’re extremely talented, and you’ve 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!
“In addition, you’ve received most of my true teachings. In the grand martial competition half a year from now, you will definitely have great prospects!”
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.
“As long as you enter the fourth refinement and raise your qi and blood, Reihom might not… I’m definitely not your match!” Sun Yuanshan said firmly.
Qin Huai looked at Sun Yuanshan’s face full of hope and said solemnly, “I will definitely not let you down, Master!
“I won’t let you down either. I’ll add strong and powerful medicine to your medicinal bath! As long as you can resist it, you will definitely advance rapidly.” Sun Yuanshan patted Qin Huai’s shoulder heavily.
As Qin Huai watched his master speak, he subconsciously glanced at the medicinal field. He had a few guesses about the ‘strong medicine’ and ‘fierce medicine’ in his heart.
Shua shua shua.
The eldest brother, Rong Li, suddenly came up the mountain with an umbrella.
“Master, there’s an invitation from the Thunderbolt Dojo. They’d like to invite you to a small pavilion outside the city for a gathering.” Rong Li handed over a letter.
Sun Yuanshan opened it and saw that it was indeed Bai Bashan’s handwriting.
“You’re inviting me in the middle of the night on such a rainy day…” he muttered to himself. It was most likely about the grand martial competition.
“You guys have a good rest. I’m going out for a while.” Sun Yuanshan patted Qin Huai’s 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 lord’s mansion had built in the early years for passersby to rest.
As soon as Sun Yuanshan arrived, he saw Bai Bashan’s tall figure.
“Senior Sun!” Bai Bashan smiled and invited Sun Yuanshan into the pavilion.
‘There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!’ Sun Yuanshan was alert and clenched his long sleeve.
“When I was young, your name was already well-known in Pingnan City. I didn’t expect you would still be so lively when I became the head.” Bai Bashan sighed. “It’s 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.”
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Sun Yuanshan put on a fake smile. The Bai Bashan he knew was not this kind of person.
“There’s no rush.” 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 come…
