In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

However, it seems that there are no other shortcuts besides eating more meat.

Su Hao changed his stance, still pondering.

It's important to know that herbal decoctions shouldn't be taken haphazardly. All medicines have some degree of toxicity, and blindly taking them without testing or trial can easily harm your health.

In severe cases, it can even lead to death.

Especially for martial arts practitioners like Su Hao, it is even more important to pay attention to whether the aid of secret medicine is in line with the martial arts they are currently practicing.

After all, the areas of the body that are strengthened by different martial arts are different, and the places where qi and blood are gathered are also different.

"I'll go to the Hongqiao Market to see if they sell any foods with higher nutritional value that can replenish my qi and blood, so I can quickly accumulate qi and blood and break through to the next level!"

Su Hao made a decision immediately.

Although he doesn't have much money left, now is clearly not the time to be stingy.

Moreover, he had heard Sun Ping say that as long as one reaches the Stone Skin Realm and becomes an inner disciple, the annual tuition fee for the martial arts school will be free, and the amount of herbal medicine will also be increased.

Most importantly, martial arts schools often have affiliations with families, gangs, or other forces in order to seek profits.

However, to qualify for affiliation, one must at least reach the stone skin level.

Just as Su Hao continued to change his stances, a knock came from the courtyard gate, along with the sound of voices.

Some disciples who were near the gate heard the noise and quickly went to the gate to open it.

Su Hao turned his head and saw a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old walking in.

The young man was tall and straight, dressed in a gray robe, with clear black and white eyes, full of energy. He was following the disciple who opened the door and walked in, his eyes curiously scanning the surroundings of the training ground.

Su Hao withdrew his gaze, not lingering on the boy any longer, and continued with his own business.

For the past two weeks or so, a new disciple has been coming to the martial arts school every now and then.

There are already two or three people like him in the martial arts school.

This young man seems to have come to learn martial arts and become an apprentice as well.

As expected, the boy was indeed brought to Master Liu, who was still resting with his eyes closed under the willow tree.

Su Hao didn't look at it again, focusing intently on practicing the stance training.

Time passed second by second.

Soon it was almost evening again.

After Su Hao drank the blood-strengthening soup, he didn't linger at the martial arts school. He left immediately, intending to go to Hongqiao Town Market to find food that could boost his blood and qi.

Here's an update on Bai Jie's progress.

Su Hao first went home and brought the content that had already been updated with him.

He glanced at the already darkening sky, put on the black robe and cloak he usually wore when going to Hongqiao Town, put on the remaining money, and went out to Hongqiao Town Market.

Upon arriving at the market, Su Hao first went to the place where he had previously agreed to meet the horse-faced man to receive the document and wait.

Because of Chen Biao's matter, his blacksmith shop is temporarily closed, losing a source of income. In order to maintain a stable income, he needs to pay more attention to writing this book.

Therefore, Su Hao brought quite a lot of articles today, three times the amount he usually brings.

The goal is to release a large number of new chapters to make a quick profit.

Of course, he also kept a lot of drafts in reserve in case something happened that prevented him from delivering the manuscript and causing him to lose clients.

Su Hao arrived at the agreed location, where the horse-faced man he had arranged to meet was already waiting.

Upon seeing his arrival, they quickly came to greet him.

"My goodness! You've finally arrived! I was so worried!"

The horse-faced man tugged at his sweat-soaked clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

"Don't you always arrive at this time? Didn't you mention arriving earlier before?"

Su Hao's deep voice rang out, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Oh, I'm in a real hurry! Those old men are driving me crazy! Give me the manuscript right now, I need to take it back and hand it in, or they'll kill me..."

The man with the horse-like face looked bitter and kept urging him on.

Recently, because of this book about Bai Jie, his customers are driving him crazy; they're practically sending him knives.

He truly didn't expect that Bai Jie's story would become so popular and so beloved by those powerful and wealthy gentlemen.

The book's popularity has already spread to the inner city. It's estimated that it won't be long before a new investor comes to him, and then he'll make a fortune!

However, this is contingent on Su Hao being able to consistently update the content.

"The reason I gave you extra drafts in the past was so that you would have a stockpile of drafts and the flexibility to sell them, with prices also adjustable. And do you think this stuff is as easy as cabbage, something you can just write whenever you want?"

Seeing the other person sweating profusely with anxiety, Su Hao was speechless.

It seems this guy didn't take my words to heart back then.

It's a bit too late to ask for help now that we're being pressured.

Moreover, he never expected that the powerful and wealthy in this world would be so addicted to these erotic novels. Judging from the horse-faced man's reaction, he was probably really being pressured.

Seeing the horse-faced man's wry smile, he didn't say anything more and handed over the three manuscripts he had brought.

"There are three copies here. You can decide how to use them. Also, since this book is so popular, I should get more profit."

"Of course! The profits will definitely satisfy you. Here's the split from last time, take a look!"

The horse-faced man took the manuscript, quickly opened it to check, and found that it still had the familiar style and feel.

He didn't have time to look at it any longer, and quickly handed a money bag to Su Hao.

Then, without looking back, he quickly left the place.

Su Hao watched the other person leave, then he weighed the money bag in his hand and found that it was indeed much heavier than before.

He opened it, glanced at it briefly, then immediately put it away and headed towards the medicine street in the market.

There is no curfew at night in either the inner or outer city of Yanshan Castle, so the busiest market in Outer Red Bridge Town is still brightly lit and crowded with people.

Su Hao walked through the crowd, down street after street, and finally arrived at the entrance of the medicine street.

"Five Yang Golden Spear Pills, after taking them, greatly increase hardness, making your erection irresistible!"

"Western Region Miracle Oil, just one drop is enough for true love!!"

"For athlete's foot and onychomycosis, quickly try black tea and mugwort oil!"

"Cockroach poison, rat poison, flea poison... Would you like some, sir?"

Su Hao shook his head, turning his gaze away from the stalls on both sides where vendors were hawking their wares.

Continue walking inwards.

After walking past the crowded roadside stalls, Su Hao arrived at the central area of ​​the market.

This is a row of shops, all selling medicinal herbs. Although there are still quite a few people coming and going, it is noticeably quieter now.

This place is also the center of the entire Hongqiao Town medicinal herb market.

Su Hao strolled around for a bit and then entered a shop called "Bai Cao Tang".

"What are you looking for, sir?"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man dressed in a blue long robe, with a gentle smile and a refined air.

Do you have any medicinal herbs or foods that can accelerate the accumulation of qi and blood without affecting the body's foundation?

Su Hao didn't know how to accurately describe what he wanted, so he just made a random analogy.
