Jiangzhou, Reset Changle Martial Arts School! Newspaper Advertisement!

The next morning.

After a night's rest, the four of them got up feeling refreshed.

They headed to the Xingcheng dock to take a boat to Jiangzhou.

Swaying on the cargo ship.

They took in all the scenery of Jiangnan Prefecture along the way.

Six days later.

Jiangzhou arrived.

Jiangzhou, as the most prosperous prefectural city in Jiangnan Prefecture, had a population exceeding ten million.

Jiangzhou city had abundant waterways and developed water transport, with dozens of docks alone.

The cargo ship docked at a small pier within Jiangzhou city, and Lu Changfeng and the other three disembarked in single file.

Perhaps due to practicing martial arts, Lu Changfeng's seasickness from his previous life had disappeared.

He had enjoyed the boat journey quite a bit.

"We're in Jiangzhou! Feng!"

Upon disembarking, Chun Zhu was the most excited.

The passing citizens of Jiangnan Prefecture, with their novel and beautiful clothing, captivated Chun Zhu.

Lu Changfeng had already made plans on the way.

Now that he had the inheritance of 'Giant Elephant Woman' for his cultivation method, he didn't need to rush to join any particular force.

Lu Changfeng decided to open a martial arts school first for secluded cultivation. This would serve as a cover for his identity and also allow him to interact with the martial arts circles in Jiangzhou.

He could also discover disciples with outstanding talent and bone structure in his daily life.

Of course, Lu Changfeng didn't expect the martial arts school he just opened to recruit many disciples or earn much money.

For the time being, they booked rooms at an inn.

After settling into the inn, Lu Changfeng took Black Ox out to find a suitable location for the martial arts school.

After some inquiries, the land prices in Jiangzhou made Lu Changfeng secretly gasp.

Fortunately, with his Master's inheritance and some of Lu Changfeng's own earnings, it was enough to purchase a moderately sized plot of land.

If that wasn't enough, Lu Changfeng still had a lot of dried Silkworm Meat saved from the past two years, which would fetch a considerable sum if sold.

With the help of a real estate agent, Lu Changfeng spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on Five Horse Street, Jiangzhou's martial arts street, and purchased a property.

This property was about five to six mu in size.

The layout was suitable for a martial arts school, with two-thirds of the area being the training ground in the front yard.

The central courtyard had a main hall, with eight side rooms on each side, totaling sixteen rooms.

The backyard was a small garden. It was spring, and the small garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The previous owner had planted many vibrant, famous flowers.

This area could also be used by Lu Changfeng for his personal cultivation.

Lu Changfeng also planned to dig a cellar in the small garden to store the Silkworm Seeds.

After purchasing the property.

The next day, Lu Changfeng ordered some weapons, weapon racks, and a plaque inscribed with the large characters Changle Martial Arts School.

Thus, by the time all the preparations were complete, ten days had passed.

On an ordinary day, a martial arts school quietly opened on Five Horse Street in Jiangzhou.

There were no firecrackers or welcoming guests.

Curious passersby entered the martial arts school to take a look. The training ground was empty, with only a dark-skinned man practicing a set of fist techniques.

A young man lay lazily on a lounge chair, basking in the sun.

It was so deserted that people turned around and left.

For half a month after the martial arts school opened, not a single disciple signed up.

Lu Changfeng didn't mind at all, focusing entirely on practicing martial arts, as he still had enough money.

Chun Zhu, however, became anxious, feeling that Lu Changfeng had forgotten their days of hardship.

Such wasteful behavior was unforgivable!

Therefore, at Chun Zhu's urging, Lu Changfeng finally found a local newspaper office in Jiangzhou.

The [Jiangzhou Anecdotes] newspaper office.

It was on the street next to Five Horse Street.

Among the many newspapers in Jiangzhou, [Jiangzhou Anecdotes] was not highly ranked.

However, its advantage was that its content catered to ordinary citizens.

And ordinary citizens were the source of martial arts school disciples.

When Lu Changfeng, who was tall and clearly a powerful Martial Artist, entered.

The female receptionist at the newspaper office immediately stood up to greet him, her voice carrying a gentle and pleasant Jiangnan accent, "Welcome to our newspaper office, honored guest. How may we assist you?"

Lu Changfeng looked down at the female receptionist, who barely reached his waist, and got straight to the point, "How much does it cost to place an advertisement in the newspaper?"

The female receptionist was very professional.

She turned and retrieved a newspaper template from under the counter.

However, this newspaper template, apart from frames of various sizes, had no text.

Inside the frames were numbers.

"This is the latest woodblock for our [Jiangzhou Anecdotes] newspaper," she explained.

"The numbers in these frames correspond to the prices for different positions in the newspaper. Advertisements will be run for three consecutive issues, and the prices are very reasonable!"

Lu Changfeng thought it was indeed simple and clear. After glancing at the newspaper template, he pointed to a section of the newspaper. This position was reasonably priced and quite good.

"The guest has excellent taste!" the female receptionist exclaimed, giving Lu Changfeng a thumbs-up. "That will be thirty taels of silver!"

"Please write down your content, and you will see it in tomorrow's [Jiangzhou Anecdotes]!"

"Of course, the content cannot involve gambling, obscenity, or drugs!"

Lu Changfeng took the paper and ink provided by the female receptionist and briefly wrote an advertisement for his martial arts school.

Previously, Lu Changfeng had a general understanding of the fees charged by martial arts schools on Five Horse Street.

Generally, for a small martial arts school whose master was a Blood Tempering Martial Artist, the fee was around ten taels of silver for half a year, which included one meal.

Of course, if the master had good martial arts talent and was exceptionally skilled in a particular martial art, the fee would increase by five taels or more.

For larger martial arts schools where the master was a Muscle Tendon Transformation Martial Master, the fees would soar to between thirty and fifty taels for half a year.

As for schools where the master was a Bone Forging Realm Martial Ancestor.

There were indeed three such schools on Five Horse Street in Jiangzhou, but their admission requirements for disciples were astonishing.

It was already the martial arts school selecting disciples, not the disciples choosing the martial arts school, so there was no basis for comparison.

Lu Changfeng thought to himself that although he was only a Blood Tempering Realm Martial Artist, he had nevertheless killed a Muscle Tendon Transformation Martial Artist.

So, he specified in the advertisement that the fee was twenty taels for half a year, and thirty-five taels for a year with a discount.

This was quite a bargain, wasn't it?!

As for why martial arts schools always started with a half-year fee, it was because in the path of martial arts, one could not even get started in less than half a year.

After some thought, Lu Changfeng also noted in the advertisement that the master was extremely skilled in swordsmanship.

Lu Changfeng decided that from now on, he would operate in Jiangzhou City openly as a top swordsman.

This would showcase his highest combat power.

Currently, the [Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique] was still in the accumulation stage of the Blood Tempering Realm for [Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique], and had not yet unleashed its late-stage combat potential.

Storm Sword Intent was currently Lu Changfeng's strongest means of combat.

He handed the written note to the female receptionist.

Lu Changfeng paid the advertising fee and left the newspaper office amidst the enthusiastic farewells of the female receptionist.

Thus, Lu Changfeng spent thirty taels of silver to place an advertisement for his martial arts school in a corner of [Jiangzhou Anecdotes], a newspaper aimed at ordinary citizens.

[Jiangzhou Anecdotes] began selling as early as five or six in the morning every day.

He wondered how effective the advertisement would be tomorrow.

If it attracted someone with superior sword technique talent, then Lu Changfeng would have gathered four superior sword technique talents, allowing him to fuse his first supreme talent!
