Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 59 - 50 Plan

"They get 80, we get 20?" Lin Yuan squinted his eyes, feeling a surge of emotion within.

In this academy, the elite disciples are truly insatiable, their oppression of the lower-level disciples has reached an extreme, even wanting to squeeze out every bit of the ointment money.

An 80-20 split, their asking price is really too harsh. They take 80% of the profits without any room for negotiation.

"They said they would give me three days to consider. I’ve been waiting for you these past two days. Today I heard you were back, so I came to discuss it with you."

You Xiaozhong’s expression was filled with resentment, but faced with this situation, he was somewhat helpless: "The elite disciples are too overpowering, without choosing a backing, it’s really hard to deal with."

"Junior Brother Lin, I heard you have a quite great relationship with Xie Wanxin, perhaps this matter..." You Xiaozhong hesitated for a moment, then suggested.

Before You Xiaozhong finished speaking, Lin Yuan shook his head and directly rejected it.

"Always seeking Senior Brother Xie’s help is not good."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment. You Xiaozhong’s suggestion could indeed be solved by relying on Xie Wanxin’s status, and he was not someone who would leave resources unused.

But when Lin Yuan does things, he never wants to place his hopes on others.

Whether being a person or doing things, relying on oneself is the proper way.

Moreover, repeatedly seeking help from Xie Wanxin would change the dynamics of their relationship.

This was not what Lin Yuan wished for.

"I might as well not do this thing at all; after all, they don’t have the formula for the ointment. At worst, nobody would benefit." You Xiaozhong gritted his teeth, deciding to just give up and said, "And whatever means they have, I will bear it all."

"Senior Brother, I have a method to break this situation." Lin Yuan noticed You Xiaozhong’s bitter expression, and softly laughed.

"How?" You Xiaozhong asked immediately, bewildered.

"They’re bullying us because we don’t have an elite disciple as our backing. Isn’t finding an elite disciple the solution?" Lin Yuan’s tone was very relaxed.

"Junior Brother Lin, you make it sound easy. Which elite disciple is worthy of our trust? Aren’t you afraid they might exploit the formula when they know about it, leaving us crying without a place to cry."

You Xiaozhong found Lin Yuan’s suggestion a bit baffling and replied with a wry smile.

"There is someone, very trustworthy to me." Lin Yuan smirked and replied.

"Who?" You Xiaozhong furrowed his brow.

"You!" Lin Yuan stared at You Xiaozhong, his tone encouraging.

"Me? Impossible." You Xiaozhong pointed at himself and gave a bitter smile, shaking his head in denial.

"You know very well, these days I’ve been trading ointment money for Qi-Blood Powder, which has somewhat raised my level, but to reach the height of an elite disciple, it’s still a far cry." You Xiaozhong mocked himself twice, expressing considerable frustration.

"Senior Brother, of your four cultivation techniques, two have already reached the Great Achievement Realm, and the other two are just a step away from it. Once you achieve a breakthrough, applying to become an elite disciple, would we still need to look at their faces?"

"A breakthrough! Do you know how much Qi-Blood Powder I still need?" You Xiaozhong was quite speechless at Lin Yuan’s words.

Lin Yuan gave no reply but silently took out a paper package from his arms.

"Senior Brother, what do you think this is?" Under You Xiaozhong’s gaze, Lin Yuan tore open the hemp thread of the package, revealing the Qi-Blood Powder upon the unveiling of the kraft paper.

Gleaming scarlet, what else could it be but Qi-Blood Powder?

"Qi-Blood Powder? This much?" You Xiaozhong widened his eyes in incredible shock.

"Yes, Qi-Blood Powder." Lin Yuan nodded and laughed lightly: "However much you need, there is that much."

"Junior Brother Lin, you aren’t deceiving me, are you?" You Xiaozhong could hardly believe it.

Everything about this situation seemed unreliable, but the Qi-Blood Powder in front of him didn’t appear fake either?

"Why not, have a taste?" Lin Yuan teased.

At this, You Xiaozhong couldn’t resist reaching out, picking up a pinch of crystalline powder, and placing it in his mouth.

He only felt as if the powder was a shot of strong liquor, burning from his mouth straight to his abdomen.

It awakened all his internal organs and meridians, organs, and bones kept absorbing the medicinal power it emitted.

Moreover, You Xiaozhong could clearly experience the purity of the medicinal power in his mouth, far superior to that of the Qi-Blood Powder distributed by the academy.

"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Lin? Where did you get this?" You Xiaozhong’s expression was excited and extremely enthusiastic.

"Don’t tell me, did you steal Huang Houqi’s Qi-Blood Powder?" Suddenly, You Xiaozhong’s enthusiasm turned somewhat horrified.

A scary thought surfaced in his mind.

"Senior Brother, relax. I’m timid, besides, where would I have the capacity to seize Huang Houqi’s Qi-Blood Powder?" Lin Yuan passed his arm around You Xiaozhong’s shoulder and sat him down by the table.

"I made all this Qi-Blood Powder myself." Lin Yuan laughed heartily, showing the cauldron and the hidden herbs.

"Senior Brother, remember, you’ve always been helping me purchase the herbs for Qi-Blood Powder?"

"After this period of experimentation and practice, now I can independently refine Qi-Blood Powder, and of high quality too. Senior Brother, feel free to use it." Lin Yuan said with a bit of proudness on his face.

"Senior Brother, as I said. Qi-Blood Powder, take it boldly and freely, however much you need, there’s that much!"

"You, you’ve truly done it?" You Xiaozhong was dumbfounded.

The information Lin Yuan presented was hardly believable.

You Xiaozhong looked at Lin Yuan’s faint smile, then back at the Qi-Blood Powder on the table. After repeating this two to three more times, You Xiaozhong barely managed to accept the reality.

You Xiaozhong suddenly stood up, walked in circles around Lin Yuan, muttering, "Lin, Junior Brother Lin, could you be that so-called alchemical prodigy?"

Seeing You Xiaozhong’s actions, Lin Yuan lightly chuckled and shook his head: "Senior Brother You, the Qi-Blood Powder is here, no need for doubt."

"Hahaha, great!" At this moment, You Xiaozhong couldn’t resist laughing freely: "Unexpectedly, you, Junior Brother Lin, are the benefactor of my fortune. Old You knew he’d turn his fate one day, but didn’t expect it would happen so soon."

"Rest assured, Junior Brother, once I return, I’ll immediately break through. Become an elite disciple, and when I sell the ointment again, I’d like to see who dares to block and extort me."

"Since you’ve become an elite disciple, why sell ointment anymore?"

"Then what to sell?" You Xiaozhong was once again puzzled by Lin Yuan’s words, seemingly at a loss.

"Sell what ointment when it hardly makes money? Open your perspective." Lin Yuan looked at You Xiaozhong with disdain.

"If we sell, we sell Qi-Blood Powder."

"Junior Brother is right. Open the perspective, sell Qi-Blood Powder." You Xiaozhong’s eyes widened as endless silver coins seemed to float before his eyes.

"Hehehe, silver, so much glittering silver." You Xiaozhong’s expression turned somewhat lewd.

Lin Yuan couldn’t stand You Xiaozhong’s lovestruck expression any longer and saw him out immediately.

Once You Xiaozhong left with the Qi-Blood Powder, Lin Yuan’s small room returned to tranquility.

"The situation is going to be chaotic. Selling Qi-Blood Powder naturally requires the identity of an Alchemist. As such, I can only start from Shen Huaining." Lin Yuan silently contemplated.

Now, for him, the problems concerning elite disciples could all be solved easily, not a serious matter.

What truly worried him was the unseen turbulence in the future.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled, waiting for his state of mind to calm.
