Chapter 13

"Martial dao cultivation is truly extraordinary!"

Xu Yang finally experienced the magic of the Turtle-Snake Great Stance.

His physique, when mining in the mine, could work for an hour or two without resting, but practicing this Turtle-Snake Great Stance for at most two or three minutes, he felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart, his muscles aching sharply and his lungs burning unbearably.

Sun Tao took turns pointing out the ten people. Within half an hour, Xu Yang was pointed out twice by him.

He didn't know how many times he had practiced the Turtle-Snake Great Stance. Every time he couldn't hold on, he would stop to rest for a while, and then continue practicing after recovering.

He had practiced at least ten times, but the progress of the Turtle-Snake Great Stance on the panel was still "0".

At this time, he was so tired he was about to fall apart, even more tired than digging for a day at the mine, and his stomach was hungry.

"Stop, it's time to eat." Sun Tao spoke.

After checking bones at the Huang family and practicing here for quite some time, it was finally noon.

Hearing about eating, everyone was energized and followed Sun Tao to the dining hall.

Along the way, Sun Tao began to introduce various places in Weiyuan Hall.

"This is the Medicine Hall. Those of you who have a share of body-strengthening soup, come here to register your information after eating. From now on, someone will notify you when it's time to take the medicine.

Of course, this is paid for by the Huang family. If you have extra money and want to buy it yourself, you can also do so. You can come here to ask for details..."

Sun Tao deliberately took a detour. By the time they reached the dining hall, Xu Yang and the others had almost figured out Weiyuan Hall and understood some of the services provided by Weiyuan Hall.

Soon, Xu Yang knew what the one-tael-of-silver level of food looked like.

A bowl of beef, a bowl of big bone soup, a bowl of green vegetables and tofu, and rice and steamed buns to eat as much as one wanted.

Except for Lu Ren, everyone else's food was the same, all at the one-tael-of-silver level.

And Lu Ren's food wasn't actually much different from theirs.

They could eat as much rice as they wanted, but the vegetables were limited. Lu Ren could eat as much meat as he wanted, even if he only ate meat.

And the variety of meat was rich—chicken, duck, fish, beef, and pork were all available, plus a bowl of ox blood with medicine, which was very good for nourishing Qi and blood.

"Innate talent is good, and he eats better than us. Is there no justice?"

Many people looked at Lu Ren's food with envy. Eating so well, Lu Ren would inevitably pull away from everyone soon.

Someone curiously went to inquire about Lu Ren's food, and it was actually three taels of silver a month.

Xu Yang served his food, found a table at random, sat down, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

After a few bites, he felt the difference. He could clearly feel his stomach, like long-parched land, quickly absorbing the nutrients in the food. This was a feeling he hadn't had before.

"Sure enough, you have to eat, no wonder Master Lin said that."

People sat at his table one after another, all sponsored by the Huang family, but no one spoke, all eating like starving ghosts.

Xu Yang observed the situation in the dining hall while eating and found that there were quite a few people in Weiyuan Hall, probably more than forty.

The outer courtyard had the most, nearly thirty people, and the inner courtyard should have a dozen or so.

The meal was finished quickly, and everyone was full. Because of Master Lin's words, Xu Yang also ate until his belly couldn't hold any more, and he felt a bit nauseous and wanted to vomit before stopping.

"If only I could eat all meat!"

Although he felt nauseous, if there were more meat, he felt he could still eat. His body instinctively rejected rice.

After resting in the dining hall for more than ten minutes, the bloated pain in his stomach eased. The ten people got up together and left, heading to the Medicine Hall to register, and were told they could come here to drink body-strengthening soup after dinner in the afternoon.

Xu Yang pondered for a long time and took out one tael of silver to add to the body-strengthening soup.

He originally had two and a half silver taels. Yesterday, Zhou Shunchang gave him five hundred wen, and today he gave him another one tael, totaling four taels. He could afford to take out one tael to buy body-strengthening soup.

In this way, he could drink six bowls of body-strengthening soup this month, the same as Zhang Yong.

"My parents don't know I was selected, so they didn't give me money. I'll bring money tomorrow to add to the body-strengthening soup too."

Luo Dehu spoke. He just hadn't brought money; who didn't know that Xu Yang's one tael of silver was given by his uncle?

Xu Yang glanced at this idiot and didn't say anything.

The ten people left the Medicine Hall and arrived at the outer courtyard, finding a cool place to sit and rest.

Xu Yang leaned against the wall and closed his eyes directly, digesting the food while also recovering his energy.

"I really want to sleep!" someone said.

After practicing all morning, it was best to sleep at noon. Weiyuan Hall also had beds for disciples to rest, but they weren't free, and the Huang family didn't pay for this either.

"How is your Turtle-Snake Great Stance practice going? Has anyone remembered the whole Turtle-Snake Great Stance?" Luo Dehu brought up the Turtle-Snake Great Stance.

"I still have parts I haven't remembered!"

A person named Qian Jiaxing said in a low voice, and several others who were the same reacted similarly.

"I've remembered it all, but I can't connect it when practicing, and I often make mistakes."

The person who spoke was Zhang Hong, the last of the three with Bing-Lower innate talent.

As soon as these words came out, the few who hadn't remembered the complete Turtle-Snake Great Stance looked at him in surprise. Sure enough, people's comprehension was different.

Everyone received the teaching together, but the results achieved were completely different.

"I've remembered it all too."

Zhang Yong said faintly. As the second-ranked person in innate talent, he naturally didn't want to be compared to Zhang Hong. They were teenagers, after all; who didn't want to show off in front of others?

"Me too, I've already learned a part of it." Lu Ren spoke.

At this moment, he was glowing, as if he had been rejuvenated, showing no signs of fatigue at all.

This was the reason the Huang family valued his innate talent!

With the same training intensity, everyone else was tired to death, but he was not only not tired, but increasingly energetic.

The gap between them had already begun to appear.
