Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction

Chapter 94: Chapter 82: The New House

Zhu Jiyi looked at Lin Yuan, who was respectfully saluting in front of him, and a hint of gratification flashed across his face.

It should be known that since he inherited the martial arts hall, such talented individuals have been extremely rare. The last youth with such extraordinary talent was his eldest disciple, Shi Bojin.

Now he has successfully condensed his Yuan energy and joined the academy as a deacon.

"Lin Yuan, before condensing your Yuan energy, I must remind you of a couple of things. Listen carefully," Zhu Jiyi said with a slight nod, advising earnestly.

"Please, Master, go ahead," Lin Yuan replied.

"The Qi-Blood stage requires a lot of tempering. Try to increase the number of meridians in your Qi-Blood cultivation technique. Building a solid foundation is crucial for progressing further after condensing your Yuan energy," Zhu Jiyi emphasized with a solemn expression.

The path ahead is crucial and should be approached with great caution.

"Master, can’t we expand the Qi-Blood meridians after condensing our Yuan energy?" Zhu Lingshan asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was equally curious.

Zhu Lingshan had voiced exactly what he was pondering.

Although he understood that having more Qi-Blood meridians would greatly benefit his future, he didn’t comprehend why they couldn’t be expanded after condensing Yuan energy.

"Yuan energy is extremely sharp. After the Qi-Blood in the body transforms into Yuan energy, the meridians can’t withstand the impact. Forcing a breakthrough will only destroy the meridians. Therefore, if you want to increase the number of Qi-Blood meridians, it must be done during the Qi-Blood stage," Zhu Jiyi said with a relaxed face.

"In the academy, many of the top twenty disciples could have broken through to condense their Yuan energy long ago, but they suppress their own realms to deepen their foundations," Zhu Jiyi said with expectation in his eyes, looking at Lin Yuan: "I hope you can do the same."

"Disciple will certainly not disappoint Master’s expectations," Lin Yuan replied in a deep voice, having resolved his confusion.

Having clarified his doubts, Lin Yuan bid farewell to Zhu Jiyi.

The two of them left the room, with Zhu Lingshan accompanying Lin Yuan to look around the Zhu family’s martial arts hall.

"Senior Brother, in the martial arts hall, the most outstanding in talent is our eldest senior brother. However, since our eldest senior brother works in the academy, it’s rare to see him," Zhu Lingshan pointed to a secluded room at the far end as they walked down a quiet corridor, saying, "In there, Second Senior Brother is in seclusion. He has completed the ’Heart Unification’ step and is beginning to comprehend ’Body Unification.’"

"Indeed, both senior brothers are exceptional," Lin Yuan nodded, forming a slight impression of the two senior brothers in his mind.

"Miss, Sir," a young servant girl, Xiao Yun, came running to them as they strolled, "There’s a senior brother at the door. He looks strange and says he’s here to see Sir."

"Strange? Is he beaten black and blue, with a miserable look?" Lin Yuan asked with a light smile.

"Yes," Xiao Yun nodded like a pecking chick.

"It’s Senior Brother You," Lin Yuan nodded, leading the two of them towards the entrance of the martial arts hall. While on the way, he explained You Xiaozhong’s relationship to Zhu Lingshan, which drew repeated exclamations and admiration from Zhu Lingshan.

Soon, they met by the martial arts field.

"Is this the sister-in-law?" You Xiaozhong asked with eyes full of envy.

Lin Yuan, now a silent elite disciple, was accompanied by such a beautiful junior sister.

Truly enviable.

"Greetings, Senior Brother," Zhu Lingshan saluted with equal solemnity.

After You Xiaozhong responded with a smile, he led Lin Yuan and the others out of the martial arts hall.

"Junior Brother, the matter of the house and herbs has been settled," You Xiaozhong said as he walked.

"Let’s go with Senior Brother to take a look first," Lin Yuan, heart overjoyed, quickened his pace.

After two incense sticks’ time, they arrived at a spacious three-compartment dwelling.

A broad street ran north-south, shaded with green trees, clean and tidy, with few beggars wandering around. All passersby were dressed as servants. Evidently, this was a wealthy residential area.

The residence was centrally located on the street, occupying a vast land.

"Junior Brother, this is the house we purchased for you. What do you think?" You Xiaozhong took out a key, unlocked the door, and led Lin Yuan and the others inside.

"Wow, it’s so big, so grand," Xiao Yun, with a lively girlish nature, couldn’t help but cheer at the sight of the interior’s layout and furnishings, "It’s so beautiful."

She couldn’t resist touching here and looking there at the furnishings in the front hall, clearly very satisfied.

Zhu Lingshan, seeing the dwelling, didn’t say much but her eyes showed appreciation and contentment, evidently very pleased as well.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother," Lin Yuan, having examined the environment, found the privacy of the inner courtyard especially excellent, perfect for his alchemy and martial arts practice.

The two continued forward, entering the inner courtyard.

You Xiaozhong pointed to a room slightly to the left in the middle, "The herbs you need are all placed in the quiet room of the inner courtyard."

"And the shop is not far from here," You Xiaozhong, seeing Lin Yuan’s satisfaction, also felt relieved and continued, "But we are short on silver coins, more Qi and Blood scatter needs to be sold to finance it fully."

"I’ll hurry and produce more Qi and Blood scatter," Lin Yuan nodded, the scent of herbs already wafting to his nose.

The two entered the quiet room, where all the needed herbs were neatly arranged on the shelves.

Lin Yuan, seeing the abundance of herbs, felt a great sense of relief.

Now he could focus on refining the Five Qi Pill for deduction.

"Junior Brother, besides these, there’s also the issue of the herbs," You Xiaozhong said, suppressing his smile with a serious tone, "I secretly bought these through various channels and dared not make large overt purchases. Each time, I can only procure this much; getting more would be difficult for us."

"The supply channels for herbs are limited," Lin Yuan immediately grasped the situation.

Indeed, small amounts of herbs can be bought, but reaching a critical volume becomes extremely challenging.

All the pharmacies in Yanghua Town have their supply channels, with a fixed total of market-bound herbs. Without a corresponding supply network, large-scale alchemy would be nearly impossible.

"In Yanghua’s territory, large purchases require engagement with those alchemy families," You Xiaozhong sighed.

Lin Yuan, hearing this, scanned the quantity of herbs.

"This much is enough for now!" Lin Yuan reckoned it was sufficient for his current consumption.

"Then I’ll continue to procure according to this quantity," You Xiaozhong nodded.

The two discussed and finalized their plan, after which You Xiaozhong left the residence, carrying some Qi and Blood scatter for sale.

At that moment, Zhu Lingshan and Xiao Yun, the mistress and servant duo, had already gone out to purchase home furnishings and were preparing to set up the rooms.

Lin Yuan naturally began to refine elixirs.

About an incense stick later, the glow of the furnace beneath the bronze-colored Yunyang Cauldron gradually faded, and the unique fragrance of refined elixirs spread through the room.

Once the furnace cooled, Lin Yuan extracted all the elixirs inside.

Seven pitch-black, rounded elixirs quietly lay in Lin Yuan’s palm.

"My Five Qi Pill refining technique is too low!" Lin Yuan sighed, a trace of melancholy passing through his eyes: "With limited herbs, I must continue to improve my elixir refining level to harness more medicinal potency."

You Xiaozhong’s words led him to set aside his cultivation technique deduction efforts and focus entirely on advancing his Five Qi Pill refining skills.

After last night’s incident, he understood that his strength was barely sufficient for the current situation.

Fully focusing on refining the Five Qi Pill would instead hasten the enhancement of his strength.

Taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed the swirling thoughts in his mind.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

Lin Yuan, hesitating no longer, slapped his palm and sent all seven elixirs into his mouth.

With the elixirs ingested, Lin Yuan’s mind entered the Nine章 space, chanting mentally.

"Nine章, deduce the Five Qi Pill refining method."
