Lin Yutong! Azure Origin Body Tempering Art! A Different Body Tempering Method!

Luo Lianbo continued to explain to Su Mo, telling him that after paying the fifteen taels of silver for the apprenticeship fee, he would officially be a disciple of the Guande Martial Arts School and could live there for free for one month.

However, if he wished to continue staying at the Guande Martial Arts School after that, he would have to pay an additional five taels of silver per month for accommodation.

If he stayed for five months, the martial arts school would offer a discount, charging only twenty-four taels for accommodation, which was equivalent to saving one tael of silver.

Of course, the money wasn't just for lodging. In addition to providing three meals a day, the martial arts school would also prepare Bone Strengthening Soup and other medicinal soups and ointments beneficial for cultivation for the disciples.

If the disciples felt the effects of these medicinal soups and ointments were not good enough, they could spend money to have the physicians at the martial arts school prepare better ointments or even pills.

The prerequisite, however, was that they could afford the silver.

In short, as long as you had money, the Guande Martial Arts School was your home.

If you had no money, or not enough money, it meant your resolve to practice martial arts was not firm enough.

After listening to Luo Lianbo's introduction, Su Mo had a general understanding of the Guande Martial Arts School. He then asked the question that concerned him the most: "Senior Brother, after paying the apprenticeship fee, how long will it be before I can practice the Body Tempering cultivation techniques?"

Luo Lianbo said, "Senior Brother knows that you young people are eager for Body Tempering techniques, but don't be too anxious. After paying the apprenticeship fee, Master will teach you the Body Tempering cultivation techniques immediately."

Luo Lianbo patted Su Mo's shoulder, telling him not to worry. Once the martial arts school finished recruiting disciples for the day, Master would personally come forward to impart the martial arts cultivation techniques to them.

Hearing these words, Su Mo felt that the Guande Martial Arts School was quite reliable. After paying the apprenticeship fee, the old martial artist from the Tendon Changing Realm would personally teach them the Body Tempering cultivation techniques.

After all, this elder was said to be very old and had suffered a severe injury in his early years, leading to a significant decline in his qi and blood. Yet, even so, he would personally teach them the Body Tempering cultivation techniques, which Su Mo thought was quite good.

His comprehension and talent were terrifyingly exceptional. Even without guidance, he was confident he could master the Body Tempering cultivation techniques. However, other martial arts school disciples did not have his comprehension and talent. With the elder willing to teach personally, the effect would naturally be extraordinary.

After all, he was a being from the Tendon Changing Realm!

Soon.

Su Mo was led to a large hall in the martial arts school. After sitting there for a while, new disciples recruited by the martial arts school began to enter one after another, both male and female. Most of them were brought in by Senior Brother Luo Lianbo, while others were led in by other senior brothers and sisters.

He noticed that the senior brothers and sisters guiding them were, without exception, Martial Artists, and almost all of them were at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. There were even Martial Artists from the Meridian Opening Realm, which was quite an impressive display.

To Su Mo's surprise, Senior Brother Luo Lianbo was actually a Martial Artist from the Meridian Opening Realm. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now that he looked closely, the Guande Martial Arts School truly had hidden talents, with several Martial Artists from the Meridian Opening Realm.

However, it made sense. Since Master Yu Guande was a Martial Master from the Tendon Changing Realm, his disciples couldn't all be from the Body Tempering Realm; naturally, there would be disciples from the Meridian Opening Realm.

These disciples from the Meridian Opening Realm were likely brought back by the Master from Anyuan County Town.

Time passed, and the Guande Martial Arts School recruited a total of twenty disciples that day. In Senior Brother Luo Lianbo's words, these junior brothers and sisters were all individuals with firm resolve, as those without it had already been turned away by their martial arts school.

As the martial arts school's recruitment for the day concluded, the senior brothers and sisters of the Guande Martial Arts School also entered the hall.

The twenty newly recruited disciples in the hall, including Su Mo, were all waiting for the elder Yu Guande.

A moment later, a thin, aged elder in his seventies walked in.

The elder was dressed in a black robe with cloud patterns. He looked vigorous and spirited. Although his hair was white, it was meticulously combed. He slowly walked into the hall, his old yet sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present.

This elder was Yu Guande, the master of the Guande Martial Arts School!

A powerful expert from the Tendon Changing Realm!

"Greetings, Master!"

The moment Yu Guande entered, Luo Lianbo and several other senior brothers and sisters stood up. Su Mo and the other new disciples also followed suit.

Although many people rumored that Yu Guande was very old and had suffered a severe injury, causing his qi and blood to decline significantly, those whose eyes were swept by him in the hall at that moment felt as if they were being stared at by an incredibly fierce giant tiger, sending chills down their spines.

Su Mo sighed inwardly, realizing that an expert from the Tendon Changing Realm was indeed formidable.

"My name is Yu Guande, and I am the master of the Guande Martial Arts School. The fact that you are all here today tells me that you wish to practice martial arts and have the resolve to become Martial Artists. However, etiquette must not be neglected, and profound teachings are not lightly imparted."

Yu Guande sat on the main seat at the head of the hall, his deep, aged voice resonating clearly in the ears of every disciple. As he finished speaking.

Luo Lianbo signaled the newly admitted junior brothers and sisters to take out their apprenticeship fees. Su Mo also produced the fifteen taels of silver required for the apprenticeship, and soon, a senior sister from the martial arts school came over and collected the fifteen taels of silver.

With this step completed, the apprenticeship was considered preliminarily finalized.

"Master, please have some tea!"

Afterward, these newly admitted disciples of the martial arts school stepped forward one by one to offer tea to Yu Guande, who was seated at the head of the hall. This was the apprenticeship tea.

Yu Guande accepted the tea and took a small sip from each cup before setting it aside.

Senior Brother Luo Lianbo had mentioned that after paying the apprenticeship fee and drinking the apprenticeship tea, Master Yu Guande would impart the Body Tempering cultivation techniques to them.

"Master, please have some tea!"

Su Mo stepped forward and offered the apprenticeship tea. Yu Guande took it, took a small sip as before, and set it aside.

Soon, the apprenticeship tea was finished, and the twenty new disciples of the martial arts school returned to their original positions.

Next was the main event.

The impartation of techniques!

Su Mo had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Not only was he eager, but the surrounding new disciples also showed excited expressions. Many of them had scraped together everything they had, even selling their family's possessions, to send them here.

Therefore, many of them hoped to obtain the Body Tempering cultivation techniques so that they would have a chance to become Martial Artists, alleviate their families' burdens, and achieve prominence.

As for the children from wealthy families, they had long since been accepted into the Guande Martial Arts School. Many of the children on the training grounds outside were from these prominent families.

From his seat of honor, Yu Guande surveyed the hall for a moment before shaking his head slightly. There were hardly any outstanding martial arts talents, but this was quite normal.

After all, most talented martial arts prodigies had already been scouted by the major sects in Anyuan County Town. When he came to Qingshan Town, Yu Guande had already heard that the Black Eagle Sect had recruited a batch of martial artists with excellent aptitudes near Qingliang Mountain.

Yu Guande wasn't too concerned about this. The Azure Origin Body Tempering Art taught at their Guande Martial Arts School didn't place as much emphasis on innate aptitude and bone structure, but rather on comprehension and talent.

"Although our Guande Martial Arts School is the premier martial arts school in Qingshan Town, our body tempering cultivation technique is not inferior. In fact, it ranks among the best in many of the major towns under Anyuan County Town."

"And the body tempering cultivation technique I will be teaching you is called the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art!"

Yu Guande's speech further emphasized that their Guande Martial Arts School's body tempering cultivation technique was considered top-tier, even when compared to those in many other major towns under Anyuan County Town.

While the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art couldn't compare to the cultivation methods of the major sects and aristocratic families in Anyuan County Town, there were many other large towns under Anyuan County Town. Some of these towns were quite prosperous, and thus had their own martial arts schools.

Compared to these martial arts schools in other major towns, the Guande Martial Arts School's Azure Origin Body Tempering Art was not inferior, and could even be considered among the top-ranked.

The new disciples in the hall felt it was worth the trip upon hearing their master, Yu Guande, say this.

After cultivating a powerful body tempering cultivation technique and becoming a Martial Artist, they would be stronger than ordinary Martial Artists.

Just as everyone thought their master, Yu Guande, would personally impart the technique.

Yu Guande stood up, and then a senior sister from the martial arts school came to the front of the hall to begin teaching everyone the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art.

Although she didn't personally impart the technique, this senior sister who was teaching was no ordinary person; she was a Martial Artist at the Meridian Opening Realm.

Su Mo had heard from his senior brother Luo Lianbo that her name seemed to be Lin Yutong.

"The Azure Origin Body Tempering Art emphasizes the interaction of form and intent, the Azure Origin's profound circulation, and maintaining the body's integrity..."

This senior sister, Lin Yutong, began to explain the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art to Su Mo and the others. First, she recited the cultivation mantra, followed by the accompanying martial techniques, explaining them in great detail.

During this, she also demonstrated all the accompanying moves of the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, allowing the new junior brothers and sisters to observe and comprehend.

Even though Lin Yutong explained it slowly and meticulously, the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art was still very difficult for many present. Some showed distressed expressions, feeling like they were listening to gibberish. They could barely understand the moves, let alone the cultivation mantra, which was completely incomprehensible.

At least more than half of them didn't understand.

The remaining minority, while they could barely comprehend it, didn't understand much.

Many of these individuals actually had decent talent and comprehension, but even so, they found the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art obscure and difficult to grasp, unable to find the entrance.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lianbo and the other senior brothers and sisters from the martial arts school found it perfectly normal. Although their Guande Martial Arts School charged high fees, the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art taught by their esteemed master was absolutely worth the price.

Once mastered, upon breaking through to the Martial Artist realm, their combat power would far surpass that of Martial Artists who cultivated other techniques.

However, it was just not easy to get started.

This Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, while it did consider innate aptitude and bone structure, didn't emphasize it as much. This differed from the body tempering methods of other major sects and powers. This technique truly valued the cultivator's comprehension; as long as their comprehension was strong enough, they could understand everything.

This was also why the Guande Martial Arts School dared to remove the age restrictions and open its doors wide.
