Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

"Host, please wait a moment while I check... I found out that the last time was seven years ago, so the next time will be three years from now."

"It's still early and there's still time to prepare. I'll learn martial arts in the next few years so I can have a way to protect myself."

Jiang Yue packed up his things and prepared to leave for the county town. He didn't know the people in the village very well and didn't plan to say goodbye. Before leaving, he looked around the village and decided to go to the place where the monk died to see if he could get anything out of it.

After seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Yue went into the woods. When he arrived at the place where people were killed last night, all the people had turned into Lego blocks. He suppressed his nausea and looked through the pile of paper fragments, all torn into pieces. There was no valuable item at all. Jiang Yue did not clean up the scene, and the deep forest was soon eaten up by small animals.

After leaving the woods, Jiang Yue was not disappointed. It was within his expectations. He originally wanted to see if there were the legendary storage bags and spirit stones. But then he thought that he was being a little fanciful. How could a small minion at the first level of Qi Refining, who couldn't even enter the sect, have any good things?

After identifying the direction, he set off for the county town. On the way, Jiang Yue sorted out some information about the county town, but it turned out to be all hearsay. He could only react accordingly after he got there. Fortunately, his original appearance was ordinary, so it was convenient for him to go out.

After a whole day's journey, they finally saw the gate of the county town at night. They didn't check their identity to enter the city, but just asked for money. Seeing that Jiang Yue looked poor, the guard didn't make things difficult for her and just collected a few copper coins and let her in.

After entering the city, it was a little different from what Jiang Yue had imagined. The streets were quite wide, there were many vendors setting up stalls, and there were jugglers performing on the streets. There were people cheering all around, and some people were throwing coins onto the stage. Jiang Yue even saw someone throwing silver.

I followed the crowd for a while and bought some snacks such as candied haws. These ordinary snacks were much more delicious than the food in Jiang Yue's space. Although the cooking skills were not very good, the taste of the ingredients themselves made up for it.

As they walked, they reached the end of the street. Jiang Yue went to buy a set of tight clothes and put them on. She saw many people wearing the same clothes, both men and women. Then she found an inn and stayed there. She did not choose any top-notch room, but just a single room, which cost two taels of silver a night.

The next day, Jiang Yue checked out of the room and found a small courtyard in the city to buy. It was a small blue brick house with a small courtyard. It looked clean and tidy. The broker also promised that there would be no other trouble. After signing the contract, when the broker was about to leave, Jiang Yue stopped him and handed him a tael of silver: "Please go slowly. I want to ask, if I want to learn martial arts, where is the best place to go."

The broker took the silver and saw that it was real. He glanced at Jiang Yue, thought for a moment and said, "Songhe Martial Arts School, the owner is a powerful internal organ cultivator, and all the skills taught are real. The most important thing is that you pay the money and he will teach you, there are no other conditions, and you can quit at any time when you reach a certain level."

"The Monkey Boxing Gym is also OK, but they require a contract. Learning martial arts is free, but you have to sign a ten-year contract to work for the gym. The advantage is that it's free and you get food, but the disadvantage is that the mortality rate is very high, and they recruit disciples all year round."

After that, he introduced some other martial arts schools. Generally speaking, these two were the most reputable. After seeing the broker off, Jiang Yue bought some items for his family. He was not in a hurry to learn martial arts, so he decided to get some information first and then make plans.

In the next few days, Jiang Yue went out every day to inquire about information, especially the key targets of Songhe Martial Arts School. The information he got was similar to what the broker said. Before reaching the blood training realm, there was no need to become an entry-level disciple. You only needed to pay money to learn martial arts, and you had to pay for tonics and other things yourself. The advantage was that you didn't need to listen to the arrangements of the martial arts school and could leave whenever you wanted, as long as you didn't pass on your kung fu to others.

Afterwards, I inquired about other martial arts schools, and basically, it was like signing a contract to sell one's body. Once you entered, you had no freedom and were like a slave. In the end, I chose Songhe Martial Arts School.

Songhe Martial Arts School is located in the most prosperous Dongcheng District. Three large courtyards were connected to serve as a martial arts training ground. When Jiang Yue arrived, all the disciples had started training. Songhe Martial Arts School is different from other martial arts schools. There are only a few dozen disciples, but most of them are from wealthy families, and the worst ones are also from well-off families.

After all, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. The tuition fee for a martial arts school is three hundred taels, which does not include the money for buying medicinal food. Most people cannot afford to learn martial arts.

Jiang Yue waited for a while. After a while, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing black warrior clothes and looking somewhat majestic, walked out of the martial arts hall. This man was Li Tai, the manager of Songhe Martial Arts Hall. He was responsible for recruiting apprentices and logistics management. He was a master of the Blood Training Realm and could easily split mountains and shatter rocks with his Earth Demon Fist. He was also a well-known figure in the county.

Looking around, Li Tai said in a deep voice: "Everyone has come to join our martial arts school, so you must be familiar with the rules of our martial arts school. I won't say much, but I want to emphasize that the tuition fee is three hundred taels of silver per year, and there will be assessments during the period. If your learning progress is not good, you will be expelled from the martial arts school, and the tuition fee will not be refunded. Regardless of whether you are expelled or voluntarily withdraw, martial arts are forbidden to be passed on to others."

"I hope everyone will think it over carefully. It's not that I'm unkind, but the path of martial arts is just so cruel. Without talent and perseverance, it would be a waste of time to stay in the martial arts hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below began to talk about it. Most of them were in a panic. They thought that they could keep learning after paying the money, but they didn't expect there would be an assessment system. After being kicked out, not only would they not learn anything and their money would be wasted, but it would also prove that they were not suitable for martial arts. If they went to other martial arts schools, others would look down on them and might not even accept them.

"quiet!"

"What is martial arts? Martial arts are honed by talent and perseverance. Talent is especially important. Without talent, one can only work hard and only reach the bone refining stage in his life. To ascend to heaven in martial arts, there are difficulties at every step. Ninety-nine percent of martial artists in the world will never reach the acquired realm in their lifetime, let alone the innate realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tai swung his arm and smashed it hard against the stone pillar beside him. With a loud bang, the stone pillar was not broken, but a hole was directly punched in it.

"This is the power of the Skin Refining Realm. Can you withstand this punch that takes twenty years of practice?"

Li Tai glanced at the stunned crowd and said in a deep voice: "Although the Leather Refining Realm is the first realm of martial arts, after you reach the Leather Refining Realm, you will have to work as a guard at the escort agency. Your monthly salary will be at least ten taels of silver. If you can work as a guard for dignitaries, your monthly salary will be even higher."

"Although our Songhe Martial Arts School charges a high fee, those who can stay in the exam can basically reach the Bone Refining Realm. If you are expelled midway, it does not mean that you cannot continue to practice martial arts. You can also come to the martial arts school to seek guidance and continue to buy the martial arts school's medicinal food. As long as you persevere, you will achieve something sooner or later."
