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

"It seems to also improve blood circulation!"

Su Hao felt his body's condition and had a general understanding of the effects of the herbal soup.

"It's a pity that we can only receive one serving per day. If we could have more Blood-Strengthening Soup, we could extend our training time considerably and wouldn't have to worry about our stamina and endurance too early..."

Su Hao glanced at the empty bamboo tube and sighed inwardly.

For him now, the longer he trains, the more proficiency points he accumulates, which means he will progress faster.

However, only one serving of this Blood-Strengthening Soup can be obtained each day, and its recipe is only known to Master Liu, making it a unique secret.

Besides the daily free distribution from the martial arts school, you have to spend one or two taels of silver to continue taking it.

This was something Su Hao learned after asking others when he received the medicinal soup.

However, he doesn't have enough money to buy herbal medicine to take every day.

He continued practicing in the training ground for another half hour. Only when the sun set and the sky darkened did Su Hao stop practicing, then put on his clothes and prepare to go home.

At this moment, the other fellow disciples in the room also began to pack up their belongings.

After getting dressed, Su Hao didn't linger and walked out of the training ground.

Just as they reached the door, a black carriage suddenly sped up from around the corner.

With a series of urgent neighs, the carriage kicked up a cloud of yellow dust and came to a steady stop in front of the girls' courtyard next to the martial arts training ground.

Yueshan Boxing Academy not only recruits male disciples, but also female disciples. However, in order to distinguish between men and women, the academy has set up separate male and female departments.

However, the women's college was smaller in size and had fewer students than the men's college.

Su Hao looked over curiously and saw a man dressed as a coachman quickly jump down from the carriage and stand below, waiting respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a young woman wearing a tight red dress, with fair skin and delicate features, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, stepped down from the carriage. For some reason, she scolded the coachman standing in front of her with a sullen face.

The coachman could only nod in agreement. Finally, the girl snorted and turned to walk into the girls' quarters.

"That's Master Liu's daughter, Senior Sister Liu Yingying. Junior Brother Su, you'd better watch your eyes and don't linger where you shouldn't, or it won't be good if she notices you..."

At that moment, Zhou Zhengtang's voice came from behind.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Su Hao turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Zhengtang as he walked out.

How did you feel practicing stance training on the first day?

Zhou Zhengtang asked with a smile.

At this moment, he was wearing a black robe with gold-trimmed silk satin, his features were regular, and he had a more scholarly air about him, which was completely different from his oily appearance during the day.

"It's alright... but it's too physically demanding."

Su Hao nodded and said.

Although he wasn't sure if his senior was going to try to sell him loan services again this week, he couldn't ignore it since the other party had given him a heads-up.

If they try to push more business onto me, I can simply refuse.

However, judging from the other person's clothes, they obviously come from a well-off family.

Most importantly, he learned from Sun Ping today that this fifth senior brother was one of the few Iron Skin Second-Level Qi and Blood Warriors in the boxing gym, and his strength was not weak.

"Hehe, it's already quite good that you were able to persevere to the end on the first day. I've even seen people collapse in less than an hour..." Zhou Zhengtang shook his head and laughed. "You'll get used to it in a few days. Don't be frugal when you go back recently. Eat and drink well, and don't be stingy with your money. This will help you accumulate qi and blood."

"Okay! Thank you for informing me, senior brother!"

Su Hao clasped his hands in thanks.

"See you tomorrow, Senior Brother Zhou!"

Hearing that the other party seemed to want to steer the conversation toward money again, Su Hao quickly waved and prepared to leave.

"Junior Brother Su, wait a minute..."

Zhou Zhengtang's voice rang out again.

"Is there anything else, Senior Brother Zhou?"

Su Hao turned his head with a hint of helplessness, but his expression didn't change much.

"Um... I noticed your handwriting was neat and beautiful when you registered your information today. Did you attend a private school before?"

Zhou Zhengtang asked tentatively.

"Uh... I've occasionally heard it through the window of a private school, so I do recognize a few characters."

Su Hao nodded.

When he first transmigrated here, in order to learn about this world as quickly as possible, he would indeed secretly go to the private school where the teachers taught to eavesdrop and learn.

"Can you compose poems or essays? Or have you written any articles?"

Zhou Zhengtang continued to ask.

"I know a little bit about it. Is there anything you need, Senior Brother Zhou?"

Su Hao narrowed his eyes, seemingly sensing a business opportunity.

"That's wonderful..." Zhou Zhengtang's face lit up with joy as he looked at Su Hao and asked, "Junior Brother Su, would you like to cooperate...?"

...

Do!

A sharp cleaver chopped open the pork leg bone and threw it into an iron pot filled with water. Then, a large piece of pork was cut into pieces the size of tofu and thrown into the pot to start cooking.

Su Hao added a few pieces of salt, looked at the large pot of meat cooking in the pot, swallowed hard, his stomach was already growling with hunger.

"No wonder they're from a wealthy family. The expenses others incur for studying and cheating are enough for me to eat meat every meal for half a month!"

Su Hao felt a surge of emotion.

The reason he dared to eat so lavishly tonight was mainly because of Zhou Zhengtang.

The other party came from a wealthy family and was in the business of medicinal herbs. Moreover, he was the only son in the family, and his parents naturally did not want him, who was half-illiterate, to inherit the family business. That's why they made him study more and learn to read and write, which naturally led to homework.

However, Zhou Zhengtang had no interest in reading and writing, let alone composing poems or painting. He preferred to study ways to make money, and he dabbled in all sorts of things, including black, gray, and white. But in order to appease his elders, he had to find someone to write his homework for him every day.

Previously, Zhou Zhengtang had to find someone else because the previous person who wrote the calligraphy had left Yanshan City and had not returned for more than ten days. After seeing that Su Hao's handwriting was not bad today, he decided to let him try writing for him.

The payment was settled by the number of assignments, at fifteen coins per assignment. Zhou Zhengtang had to submit his assignments every three days, ten times a month, which included essays, poems, and the like. In total, he earned one and a half taels of silver per month.

Su Hao was able to take on this lucrative job because he was familiar with the Three Hundred Tang Poems from his previous life, and could easily pick out any one of them to deal with Zhou Zhengtang.

This was an unexpected gain for Su Hao today.

After all, Zhou Zhengtang's assignments, especially in poetry, were so easy for him that he could write them with his eyes closed and his feet down.

After covering the pot with the lid, Su Hao went to the courtyard and continued practicing Yue Shan boxing stance training.

The practice of Yueshan boxing stance training does not require a special venue; it can be done at home as well. If it weren't for the daily bowl of blood-strengthening soup and Master Liu's guidance, many fellow practitioners would probably prefer to stay at home.

Due to his own circumstances, Su Hao decided to continue working as a blacksmith in the morning to earn money, practice boxing at the boxing academy in the afternoon, and earn money by writing with a pen in the evening, striving to reach the Stone Skin Realm as soon as possible.
