Attitude

Changfeng Martial Hall.

Li Pin quickly executed a set of boxing techniques.

His entire body's Qi and Blood was like a blazing furnace, hot and scalding.

If someone were to take a temperature gun and scan him at this moment, they would discover his body temperature was definitely above 45 degrees Celsius.

After a while, he finished his boxing routine, his chest heaving. He let out a long breath.

A large amount of sweat began to dissipate from his body, quickly soaking his clothes.

However, Li Pin paid no mind. Instead, he quietly sensed the changes in his own Qi and Blood.

Moments later, he had calculated the data.

"0.02."

After absorbing a large amount of Dan Jin and Gang Jin videos, and continuously fine-tuning and modifying them with his "Insight" talent, one round of practice with the Mysterious Gate of Profound Yin could increase his Qi and Blood intensity by 0.02.

Six rounds a day would amount to 0.12.

This was already three days after he had obtained his Level 2 Martial Artist certification.

His Qi and Blood and physique had also improved to 23.

An increase of several points in a month.

However, the improvement of Qi and Blood and physique was greater in the early stages than in the later stages.

It became harder and harder as time went on.

Qi and Blood for a Force-wielding Martial Artist ranged from 20 to 30, while Dan Jin Masters, Gang Jin Grandmasters, and even some Spirit Refining Martial Saints had Qi and Blood within the 30 to 40 range.

Unless one was born with divine strength or consumed heavenly treasures, even a Martial Saint would find it difficult to raise their Qi and Blood and physique above 40.

"The first chapter of the Innate Qi Nourishing Technique is 'Nourishing Qi,' which enhances one's own Life Vitality, providing vitality and strengthening the body. The second chapter is 'Foundation Establishment.' This chapter shapes and strengthens the cultivator's foundation from the ground up. With my 'Insight' talent, I might be able to deeply tap into the body's potential and achieve effects similar to those with divine strength."

There was also a third chapter, the Golden Core chapter.

This was not the Golden Core realm of cultivators, but rather to make the cultivator's entire body Hunyuan, preventing leakage of vitality, like a great human elixir, warding off all illnesses and extending one's lifespan.

In his previous life, he had gotten stuck at the "Life Vitality" stage, unable to find his own Life Vitality.

But now, thanks to his extraordinary talent, he found his Life Vitality on the first day of cultivating the Innate Qi Refining Technique. The next step was to gradually strengthen and nurture it.

This was also the core of the Nourishing Qi chapter.

"Li Pin, your package has arrived. I brought it for you."

At this moment, Shanhu's voice came from outside. "You've bought quite a lot of things recently."

"Thanks."

Li Pin took the box that Shanhu handed him.

"Are these medicinal herbs? You're improving so fast, you're not eating these miracle elixirs, are you?"

Shanhu looked at the sender's address.

"Just trying them out to see which herbs are beneficial for cultivation."

Li Pin said.

He had some understanding of medicinal herbs in his previous life.

But that understanding came from books. Now...

With an extra fifty thousand yuan in his account, he planned to emulate Shen Nong, tasting a hundred herbs, and using his talent to select the most suitable herbs for his needs to purchase and supplement.

"The aquaculture industry is developed now. If you buy medicinal herbs online, they might not be genuine, and you won't get rare ones. If you really want to buy good medicinal herbs, find Yingying. Her family runs a traditional Chinese medicine shop with a hundred years of heritage. The quality is guaranteed. When my master needs any medicine, he goes to her shop."

Shanhu said with some regret, "If her grandfather wasn't such an old stubborn man and refused to expand their business into a chain brand, they would have millions by now. If they were lucky enough to build a brand, she'd definitely be a little rich woman."

Li Pin felt she had ulterior motives, but this information was still somewhat useful to him. "What shop? I'll go take a look when I have the chance."

"There's no better time than today. I'll call Yingying right now to bring you there. It's better to benefit Yingying than someone else."

Shanhu said, directly making a phone call.

Her call, however, never got through.

Fang Lingjue had arrived.

He was clearly here because of Li Pin.

"Xu Huan told me you got your Level 2 certificate?"

"I did."

Li Pin smiled. "Is the Master planning to change my contract?"

"Yes."

Fang Lingjue nodded. "But not the previous one. Come with me."

As he spoke, he led Li Pin to the office, and at the same time, instructed Shanhu, "Have Xiao Su bring my Lüshan Cloud Mist."

"Okay."

Coral nodded.

Tea culture has been passed down since the Great Shang dynasty. It has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit, and is deeply loved by both Martial Artists and Star Refiners. The price of high-quality tea is no less than that of some delicacies.

"Did you sign up for the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition?"

In the office, Fang Lingjue asked directly.

"Yes, to gain some sparring experience."

Li Pin replied.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Fang Lingjue looked at Li Pin and said seriously, "Tell me the truth, what level did you actually reach before? Did you transition from the visible to the hidden, or... did your Force reach Hua Jin?"

"My situation is a bit special."

Li Pin said.

Reincarnating souls was something difficult to explain even in a world with the supernatural.

Fang Lingjue looked at Li Pin.

Seeing his open and honest expression, but his silence, he could only sigh, "I understand."

"I'll move out of the apartment tomorrow."

Li Pin said.

"You rascal!"

Fang Lingjue chided with a smile, "Do I seem like someone who can't tolerate others in your eyes? Even if your Force has reached Hua Jin, so what? I'm a Dan Jin Martial Master, am I afraid you'll steal the show? Besides, I have experts stationed at my martial hall. I should be happy, not drive you away! Unless you feel uncomfortable staying here yourself and don't want to stay anymore."

"I quite like the atmosphere at Changfeng Martial Hall."

Li Pin said.

Although he had a few students, all from wealthy families, they were not spoiled, but rather well-behaved and respectful towards him.

The work was easy.

Coral, Xu Huan, and Zhang Le were also friendly to him.

Moreover, when he was in some financial difficulty, Fang Lingjue had provided him with his first job, and Li Pin didn't want to strain their relationship over this matter.

"Whether you've reached Hua Jin or transitioned from the visible to the hidden before, it shows your astonishing talent. Coupled with your decision to participate in the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition... it seems you truly intend to walk the path of Martial Dao... letting you teach students again would be a waste of your time."

Fang Lingjue said, "Coral must have told you about my desire to expand the business, right?"

Li Pin nodded.

"In half a year, on May 1st of next year, the 16th Martial Arts Competition for all states will commence simultaneously. I've been practicing Dan Jin for five years now. In the previous competition in Haizhou, if I hadn't been unlucky enough to encounter a Seed Player, I would have made it into the top ten. After three years of honing, this time participating in Jiangzhou, I can't say for sure I'll be in the top ten, but I have a good chance."

Fang Lingjue spoke with great ambition, "If it weren't for my age, I would have wanted to compete in the National Tournament in the future."

"Master Fang can participate in the adult group."

"The adult group... maybe next time."

Fang Lingjue's ambition lasted for a few seconds before turning into emotion, "The Fang family's business is quite substantial. My brothers and I, along with Xiao Bai's father, have a combined family asset of five to six hundred million. So I consider myself someone who isn't short on money. I inwardly refused when others sent their descendants to train under me... but... these brats are really too willing to spend money."

He looked at Li Pin, "Do you know, to avoid them forcing me to personally teach their offspring and waste my training time, I set a fee of ten thousand per lesson. Several people directly bought a hundred lessons, can you believe it? In less than two months, I've already sold nearly two thousand lessons."

"..."

Li Pin was somewhat astonished.

A Dan Jin Master...

Was it that profitable?

Two thousand lessons? Twenty million!?

"Two thousand lessons doesn't necessarily mean one-on-one instruction, and if we expand the scale... the income of Changfeng Martial Hall alone would be equivalent to the profits of the Fang family's more than a dozen companies."

Fang Lingjue said, "Before, I used to scoff at Dan Jin Masters publishing courses online to recruit disciples, thinking it was a disgrace to us Dan Jin Masters. Now..."

Li Pin nodded in understanding.

Could a Martial Artist earn this much?

It was unimaginable on Blue Star.

"You mean you want me to be the resident master?"

"Given your courage to participate in the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition and even dare to sign a bet for the top ten in Jiangzhou, I'm certain that in half a year, you'll most likely reach Hua Jin! So, I have two proposals..."

Fang Lingjue said heavily, "The first is, I want to invite you to become a shareholder and a member of Changfeng Martial Hall. After Changfeng Martial Hall expands, the total investment will not be less than sixty million. I don't need any capital from you, just you as a person, I'll give you 5% of the shares. Your equity can be further increased if you achieve Dan Jin in the future."

While speaking, he observed Li Pin's expression. Seeing no significant emotional fluctuation, he felt a bit strange, but continued, "The second option is what Coral mentioned, to be the resident master."

He paused, "After the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition ends, depending on my final results, we will open three to five more branches. You can choose one, and you won't need to teach disciples anymore, just act as the face of the branch. The annual salary will be set at one million. What do you think?"
