Chapter 66: Spending All My Money and Returning It
" Qin, Senior Brother Qin, you, you are here!" As soon as Qin Ziling stepped into the Hantie Courtyard, Bao Yingjun, a short man with shifty eyes, buck teeth and stuttering, trotted over and stammered to greet him.
There were bruises on his arms and bare chest.
"What's going on?" Qin Ziling asked, his eyes sweeping over Bao Yingjun's arms and chest, his face slightly darkening.
"No, no, I bumped into it accidentally while practicing martial arts." Bao, Bao Yingjun hurriedly pulled at his training clothes and explained, his eyes obviously evasive, not daring to look Qin Ziling in the eye.
At this time, Qin Ziling saw the martial arts training ground. Several of Nangong Yue's outer courtyard followers, led by Wu Cheng, were looking over here, with a hint of smugness and contempt on their faces.
Qin Ziling understood immediately, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he did not show it on the surface. He just patted Bao Yingjun on the shoulder and said, "Be more careful next time . Go practice first, and I will assess your progress later."
"Okay, okay, Qin, Senior Brother Qin." Bao Yingjun bowed slightly and stepped back.
When those followers saw that Qin Ziling didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces became more smug and contemptuous.
Qin Ziling pretended not to see it. He first went to pay his respects to Zuo Le and asked him a few questions about martial arts. Then he turned back to find Zheng Xinghan and ordered iron sand bags and medicine powder from him.
Logically speaking, Liu Xiaoqiang is still at the muscle level, and the iron sand bags and medicinal powder he uses should be the same as those of other outer courtyard apprentices. However, Qin Ziling believes that Liu Xiaoqiang is naturally strong and powerful, and has an extraordinary physique, so he can fully withstand the iron sand bags and medicinal powder used by membrane-level martial artists.
Of course, the latter is much more expensive.
The martial arts school does not use the more advanced iron sand bags and medicine powder to prepare potions for apprentices from other schools. In addition to the fear of overdosing, it is mainly due to cost factors and talent screening considerations.
"Zi Ling, you really need to seriously consider a way out!" Zheng Xinghan persuaded Qin Ziling sincerely when he saw Qin Ziling spending money again.
"Thank you, senior brother. Please give me some more time!" Qin Ziling said.
"Okay." Zheng Xinghan said helplessly, then hesitated and lowered his voice, "I mentioned what happened that day to Master Zuo, and Master Zuo will definitely protect you. But at present, it seems that Nangong Yue's rise is unstoppable, so you should try to avoid him and don't conflict with him. As for the apprentices in the outer courtyard, you only need to fulfill your obligation to guide them, and you can let them do anything else."
"This kind of thing can happen anywhere. As long as it's not too extreme, it's not a bad thing for a person's growth. I'll keep an eye on it."
Obviously, Zheng Xinghan also saw what happened to Bao Yingjun and understood it.
"Thank you, senior brother. I understand." Qin Ziling nodded with a smile, as if he didn't care at all about Bao Yingjun being bullied.
" I'm glad ." Zheng Xinghan patted Qin Ziling's shoulder and turned away with mixed feelings.
"Bao Yingjun." After Zheng Xinghan left, Qin Ziling waved to Bao Yingjun.
"Qin, Qin, senior brother." Bao Yingjun hurried over.
"Practice it once and show it to me." Qin Ziling said without any further ado.
"Yes." Bao Yingjun responded, and then performed a set of cold iron palm moves.
After Qin Ziling watched it expressionlessly, he asked Bao Yingjun to practice it again using the equipment.
Bao Yingjun practiced it seriously, and then looked at Qin Ziling, who had no expression, with a nervous and anxious face.
Bao Yingjun's progress was greater than Qin Ziling had expected, especially the areas he pointed out last time. Bao Yingjun did them exactly right, and the muscles and blood in those areas became stronger.
This not only shows that Bao Yingjun has good aptitude and understanding, but also shows that he respects Qin Ziling in his heart and is not like other apprentices who look down on him.
Because a person who is contemptuous will not listen to what the other person says and will not implement it seriously.
The latter is the prerequisite for Qin Ziling to decide whether to cultivate Bao Yingjun.
Otherwise, no matter how good Bao Yingjun's physique, talent and comprehension are, what does it have to do with Qin Ziling?
Also, Bao Yingjun was clearly bullied by Wu Cheng and others because of him, but he did not show any resentment in front of Qin Ziling, which is something Qin Ziling admired about him.
"Good! You have achieved all the key points I pointed out last time. Today I will point out a few more points to you. You should practice more often." After a while, Qin Ziling nodded and spoke.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, senior brother! I, I, will definitely practice seriously." Bao Yingjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and bowed quickly.
Qin Ziling nodded slightly, then asked Bao Yingjun to do the Cold Iron Palm and strength training exercises again from beginning to end.
This time, Qin Ziling did not just casually point out a few problems afterwards like he did last time. Instead, he pointed out each problem carefully while Bao Yingjun was practicing martial arts.
It's true, although Bao Yingjun is ugly and stutters, he has a good understanding and a talent for martial arts. After Qin Ziling's instructions twice, he basically remembered everything.
"Practice well!" Qin Ziling saw that Bao Yingjun had basically remembered everything, so he patted him on the shoulder, went to the backyard to get the sandbags and medicine powder prepared for him by Zheng Xinghan, and left Hantie Dean's Office.
With his current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to train freely in Hantie Academy.
After leaving Dean Hantie, Qin Ziling first went to Liu Xiaoqiang's old house to put the sand bags and medicine powder into the corpse-raising ring. Then, after changing his appearance, he went to "Yiyuantang" and bought some "Yixue Pills" and "Buyuan Pills". Then he went to several of the most famous pharmacies in DC District, North City District, South City District and other places to purchase all kinds of tonic pills.
I saved five hundred taels by buying the Tianji Bone-Repairing Ointment, and made a profit of seven hundred taels by selling the male Tayun Musk Deer. I also took one hundred and fifty to sixty taels from Zhuang Gaochi's corpse when I assassinated him yesterday.
As a result, Qin Ziling, who had originally thought that he would have to tighten his belt this month, suddenly had another 1,350 or 1,600 taels of silver.
Since he was not short of money, Qin Ziling would naturally purchase a large amount of tonic herbs.
After the massive purchase, Qin Ziling's property suddenly shrank to seven hundred taels, which meant that he spent more than six hundred taels in just one morning. Even Zuo Le would feel distressed by such extravagance.
But Qin Ziling did not feel distressed at all. On the contrary, he regretted that he could not buy more advanced and effective tonic herbs.
Because Qin Ziling knew very well that as long as he had the strength, he could make it back even if he lost all his money!
…
"Sir, these are the sandbags and potions used by the inner court disciples to practice martial arts!" At the Qin family, Liu Xiaoqiang put his nose close to the sandbags and the prepared potion and sniffed them, his expression slightly changing.
"That's right, you were born with good physique, so you can use this sand bag and potion to make faster progress. Also, keep this bottle of blood-enriching pills." Qin Ziling said, handing Liu Xiaoqiang a ceramic bottle.
