Treatment in Place

When Lin Hai arrived at the apprentice square, Jiang Liu had just finished practicing the Five Elements Fist twice and was meditating to recover Blood Essence.

Lin Hai walked up to Jiang Liu and said, "Jiang Liu, Master Lin is looking for you!"

"Okay!" Jiang Liu said, then stopped his exercise and stood up.

Jiang Liu followed Lin Hai for about half an hour before arriving at the Hunting Eagle Hall branch's base.

Lin Hai led Jiang Liu into the Hunting Eagle Hall's council hall and walked straight in. Jiang Liu quickly followed.

Master Lin was sitting in the hall, with several Hunting Eagle Hall managers sitting in front of him, discussing matters.

Master Lin saw Lin Hai enter and waved his hand.

Lin Hai understood and led Jiang Liu into the side hall to wait.

After waiting for a while, Master Lin walked into the side hall with a hearty laugh, looking Jiang Liu up and down with a smile.

"Not bad, you're much stronger now than when you first came in! What's your current strength?" Master Lin asked.

"Reporting to Master Lin, I just entered Bone Forging!" Jiang Liu replied respectfully.

"Oh? Progressing so quickly?"

"Show me what you've got!" Master Lin said with a hopeful look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu circulated his Blood Essence and performed a set of Five Elements Fist.

"Haha! Good! You've indeed just entered Bone Forging. Your Five Elements Fist is almost at the minor accomplishment stage, soon to be a major accomplishment!"

"Not bad! Truly not bad! I didn't misjudge you! Bringing you into the gang, haha!"

Master Lin said with satisfaction.

"Jiang Liu, given that your talent is indeed very good, from now on, you will receive special top-tier treatment!"

"I hope you continue to cultivate diligently and repay the hall's nurturing soon!"

Master Lin patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder and said.

"Master Lin, I will!" Jiang Liu clasped his fist and said.

"Good! Lin Hai, take my jade token later and accompany Jiang Liu to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Explain the matter clearly and distribute today's share together!" Master Lin turned to Lin Hai and instructed, then handed Lin Hai an identity jade token.

"Yes, Master Lin!" Lin Hai bowed and accepted the jade token.

"There's nothing else, you can go back first!" Master Lin waved his hand.

"Yes, Master Lin!" Jiang Liu also bowed and said.

Jiang Liu followed Lin Hai to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and presented Master Lin's identity jade token. After explaining the treatment assigned to Jiang Liu, he asked Jiang Liu to hand over his own identity jade token.

The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall Disciple registered the information on the back of Jiang Liu's identity jade token, then took out a small cloth bag, went into the inner hall to fill it with items, and handed it to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu took it. He saw that the back of the identity jade token recorded: Top-tier treatment apprentice! There was nothing else. He weighed the small cloth bag, feeling that it had little weight.

Lin Hai saw that Jiang Liu was confused and explained to him: "Top-tier treatment gives three Bone Forging Pills, ten Qi and Blood Pills, and five taels of silver per month!"

"Qi and Blood Pills are used to replace Blood Circulation medicine! However, the Five Elements Fist medicinal soup you're drinking now is specifically formulated to be used with the Five Elements Fist, so it can't be completely replaced by Qi and Blood Pills!"

"Bone Forging Pills are for accelerating the progress of Bone Forging. Because Bone Forging isn't that easy, you can only use one every ten days to fully refine the medicinal power."

Lin Hai continued to explain patiently.

Jiang Liu was overjoyed. This way, he could practice the Five Elements Fist a few more times. Although it wasn't a perfect match for the Five Elements Fist, it was still for restoring Blood Essence, so it couldn't be too different.

It seemed that Wang Zhuang relied on eating Qi and Blood Pills to replenish Blood Essence. These Qi and Blood Pills shouldn't be cheap. After all, they were commonly used pills and were essential. The demand must be high and the supply short.

Sure enough, Lin Hai then explained: "Don't underestimate these pills! One Qi and Blood Pill costs one tael of silver, and Bone Forging Pills are even more expensive, costing five taels each, and they're not easy to buy."

"It's only because our Fallen Blossom Gang has many cooperating pharmacies and we also have our own Medicine Hall that we can barely supply them! Outside, don't even mention one tael for a Qi and Blood Pill, it's hard to buy even for one and a half taels. Bone Forging Pills are even priced at seven taels, and it's hard to buy even one!"

"So, now you know how much effort the hall master is putting into nurturing you, right!"

"Without pills to assist in cultivation, during Bone Forging, you can only slowly grind it out yourself. By the time Body Refinement is complete, you'll be old. Blood Essence will start to weaken, and it will be difficult to enter the ranks. Even if you do, you'll be stuck at the low ranks in the future."

"That's why there's a saying that if you're slow in martial arts at the beginning, you'll be slow every step of the way! Work hard in cultivation, become strong, and then you can help the hall with its affairs and repay the hall master's great kindness!"

Lin Hai said kindly to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu said to Lin Hai with gratitude on his face, "I will!"

"Well! Go back and continue cultivating! If you have any problems, you can come to me and look for me." Lin Hai finished speaking and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu also returned to his residence in the main hall. No one cared whether he went to the apprentice square now, because he had already entered the Five Elements Fist, so they set up a monthly assessment.

Because the square was large, he could only practice with Wang Zhuang there, so Jiang Liu was used to running to the square to cultivate.

Now that he had to cultivate with pills, he definitely couldn't let more people know. That's why he was thinking of cultivating in his residence.
