Reunion of Senior and Junior Brothers

Lu Changfeng returned to the Martial Arts School.

He saw an old man and two young apprentices looking around the entrance of the school.

"Is there something you need?" Lu Changfeng asked.

The old man bowed to Lu Changfeng. "Are you the owner of this Martial Arts School?"

"This old man is a physician from the Yicao Hall across the street, and I've come to pay my respects to my neighbor!"

Lu Changfeng remembered that there was indeed a medical clinic opposite their Martial Arts School.

Although Five Horse Street was known as "Martial Arts School Street," it was only because most of Jiangzhou's Martial Arts Schools were gathered on this street.

It didn't mean Five Horse Street only had Martial Arts Schools!

Besides Martial Arts Schools, Five Horse Street also had medical clinics, restaurants, blacksmith shops, and other businesses.

"I see, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please, come in and sit!"

Lu Changfeng led the old physician into the Martial Arts School.

After introducing him to Chun Zhu, he made tea in the hall and entertained his neighbor.

After some conversation, Lu Changfeng learned that the physician from Yicao Hall was named Wei Chun. He had been practicing medicine for decades and had opened Yicao Hall on Five Horse Street for over ten years.

"Master Lu, your Martial Arts School opened so quietly. I only found out there was a new Martial Arts School across the street from what my apprentices told me, haha."

Lu Changfeng smiled slightly. "We just moved here from out of town and don't like to make a big fuss. It's better to be low-key."

"Then I wish Master Lu great success with your business!"

"You're too kind, Old Wei. Feel free to come over and practice Tai Chi sometime!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Wei Chun left some common medicine for bruises and sprains as a housewarming gift before leaving with his apprentices.

Lu Changfeng then asked Black Ox to see them out.

After Wei Chun left, Lu Changfeng took out the two-hundred-pound greatsword he had forged at the blacksmith shop in Jiangzhou and began practicing the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique.

After practicing it once, he took the opportunity to guide Chun Zhu and Black Ox in their cultivation of Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra.

Lu Changfeng still planned to make Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra the Blood Tempering cultivation technique for the Changle Martial Arts School.

In addition, Lu Changfeng would personally teach the disciples of the Martial Arts School his self-created Storm Sword Technique.

With Lu Changfeng's personal improvements, the Storm Sword Technique was considered top-tier among Blood Tempering martial arts, making it sufficient as the school's signature technique.

Time quickly passed to the next day.

Lu Changfeng practiced the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique early in the morning.

After receiving the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Blade Technique, Lu Changfeng gained a lot of knowledge about the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique in his mind.

His cultivation speed greatly increased.

It wouldn't be long before he broke through to the third level!

After completing the third level, Lu Changfeng would break through to the unprecedented seventh level of Blood Tempering!

He took a sweaty shower and then went to the training ground.

Lu Changfeng had subscribed to several newspapers.

As soon as dawn broke, the paperboy delivered the newspapers to the Martial Arts School.

Lu Changfeng first looked for Jiangzhou Anecdotes.

The most eye-catching news in the newspaper was a public welfare report about the rerouting of a certain canal in a certain district of Jiangzhou.

After a glance, Lu Changfeng found his advertisement space.

[Changle Martial Arts School] Welcomes Your Enrollment! Tuition is only twenty taels for half a year! The annual limited-time promotional price is thirty-five taels!

Headmaster Lu Changfeng, a Blood Tempering Realm Martial Artist, creator of his own sword techniques, with profound sword intent!

The advertisement space was quite good. Lu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Xingtian appeared beside him at some point. "Good morning!"

After greeting him, Zhao Xingtian took a copy of Lu Changfeng's newspaper and left the Martial Arts School.

"Black Ox, do you know what he's been doing these past few days?"

Ever since moving into the Martial Arts School, Zhao Xingtian had frequently left the school without a trace.

He would often return only after two or three days, his body smelling of perfume.

Black Ox, who was bare-chested and practicing his Blood Tempering cultivation technique, heard the question, and his already flushed face deepened in color.

"Senior Zhao... seems to have gone to Misty Rain Tower, I think that's it."

Misty Rain Tower?

The largest pleasure house in Jiangzhou, and even the entire Jiangnan Prefecture, located on an island in the heart of Jiangzhou City.

Legend has it that it houses thousands upon thousands of courtesans and offers numerous performances, a paradise for men.

Misty Rain Tower features the Four Beauties of Misty Rain Tower, each said to have unique charms that captivate men across the land.

Shaking his head, Zhao Xingtian's affairs were none of his concern. When the Copy Interface updated in a few days, he would come back and copy it for him.

Since their conversation under the Xingcheng night sky, Lu Changfeng had somewhat sensed Zhao Xingtian's inner conflict.

He felt a bit more at ease with him, maintaining a relationship of mutual benefit.

Zhao Xingtian used him to maintain his state of mind, allowing him to quickly complete the Jade Bone stage.

Lu Changfeng, in turn, copied Zhao Xingtian's Grade A Upper bone structure, striving to fuse it into a Heroic Bone Structure as soon as possible.

Ever since seeing the bone structure talent of the Giant Elephant Woman in the crystal coffin at the bottom of Fengtian Lake, Lu Changfeng's previously simple pursuit of an easy life through Eternal Martial Arts Longevity had developed a significant sense of crisis.

How many beings like the Giant Elephant Woman were there?

Why had she fallen into a deep sleep?

What realm had her martial arts cultivation reached?

Were there still similar existences in the Song Kingdom?

Perhaps when Lu Changfeng reached a higher level in the martial arts world in Jiangzhou, he would be able to uncover more martial arts secrets.

Lu Changfeng did not wait for the first disciple to join the martial arts school.

Instead, an old acquaintance arrived.

Second Senior Brother Zhou Feng!

"It's been a while, Junior Brother!"

Zhou Feng had changed significantly, his demeanor now composed. His martial arts cultivation had already broken through to the Muscle Tendon Realm!

"I knew you'd be in Jiangzhou!" Lu Changfeng said with a smile.

When he placed the advertisement in the newspaper, Lu Changfeng had anticipated that Zhou Feng might come to see him after seeing it.

Lu Changfeng personally led Zhou Feng to the main hall.

"Changfeng, you've set things up nicely. I didn't expect you to use 'Changle Martial Arts School' as your signboard," Zhou Feng remarked.

Lu Changfeng poured Zhou Feng a cup of tea. "Isn't this to fulfill Master's wish? Besides, I'm not good at naming things, and 'Changle' sounds quite good."

The two brothers slowly conversed.

Lu Changfeng learned about Zhou Feng's experiences over the years from his mouth.

After their Master's death, Zhou Feng had chosen to develop in Jiangnan Prefecture.

Like Lu Changfeng, he had also come directly to Jiangzhou, the prefecture's capital.

Upon arriving in Jiangzhou, Zhou Feng bought a small courtyard. With the Exotic Beast Meat provided by the Silkworm Seed, Zhou Feng's cultivation improved rapidly.

Finally, one day, Zhou Feng successfully broke through to the sixth level of Blood Tempering.

After a period of seclusion, using the Muscle Tendon Transformation technique provided by their Master, he opened eighteen meridians to form a cycle, condensed Internal Energy within his body, and became a Muscle Tendon Realm Martial Artist!

After becoming a Muscle Tendon Realm Martial Artist, Zhou Feng used his assets to purchase a property and establish a martial arts school.

Zhou Feng had a fondness for blade techniques.

He named this martial arts school [Round Blade Martial Arts School]. It had been operating for over half a year and already had more than twenty disciples, establishing a foothold in Jiangzhou.

Round Blade Martial Arts School was also located on Five Horse Street. However, Five Horse Street was extremely wide and long, with both main and branch roads, so it was normal for Lu Changfeng not to have encountered Zhou Feng.

Furthermore, Zhou Feng had met a wonderful partner. They were quite serious now and planned to choose an auspicious date to get married in a few months.

This made Lu Changfeng sigh with emotion; his Second Senior Brother was achieving both family and career success.

After some pleasantries, Zhou Feng began to offer Lu Changfeng advice:

"Changfeng, if you want your martial arts school to thrive, simply placing advertisements won't be enough."

"Especially since you haven't broken through to the Muscle Tendon Realm yet. I know your swordsmanship is outstanding, and you've even condensed Sword Intent."

"But others don't know that. As a hall master in the Blood Tempering Realm, you need to participate in martial arts school arena competitions to build your reputation!"

"This way, your martial arts school business will naturally flourish!"
