Chapter 9: Blood-Qi Medicinal Liquid
Logically, the pressure on senior students is already high, so this sensitive topic shouldn't be asked now.
Moreover, there are still nine months until the college entrance exam.
It's just that Li Changzhou is about to go on a long journey, and he believes Li Yuan won't be affected, so he asks.
Aunt Chen Hui can't help but look at Li Yuan; she has been taking care of Li Yuan's daily life for a long time, so she naturally cares.
"College entrance exam application?" Li Yuan thinks for a moment and says: "Uncle, Aunt, I still plan to be a full-time martial artist. My first goal is the top five martial arts universities in the country."
"If I don't get into those, then I will strive to enter the 'Martial Artist Class' of Jiangbei Martial Arts University."
Full-time martial artist?
Li Changzhou and Chen Hui look at each other, a hint of worry flashing by.
Students who graduate from martial arts universities are not necessarily full-time martial artists in the end.
Like Li Changzhou, he went to martial arts university and his grades were okay, but he eventually double-majored in other majors.
The advantage of martial artists over ordinary people is comprehensive. Even if they do daily work, the energy and thinking speed of martial artists are far beyond ordinary people, and they are more likely to achieve great success.
As for full-time martial artists, as the name suggests, they devote themselves entirely to martial arts, striving to go further in martial arts, but it will be more dangerous.
Because, the further martial artists cultivate, if they want to improve, they often have to undergo various life-and-death battles...
"A-Yuan, can't you double-major in a profession? After graduation, taking the civil service exam or becoming a martial arts teacher, isn't that all quite good?" Chen Hui can't help but say.
In her eyes, Li Yuan and Li Muhua are no different.
She is like a mother, most worried about Li Yuan's safety.
In her view, becoming a civil servant or a martial arts teacher is the best job.
"Full-time martial artist?" Li Changzhou doesn't refute, pondering: "Can you get into the top five martial arts universities? Your school only gets a few in a year, right? Did you awaken martial arts spiritual nature today?"
Li Changzhou is very clear about the difficulty of getting into the top five martial arts universities.
Jiangbei Martial Arts University recruits ten thousand students in Jiangbei Province every year.
And the top five martial arts universities combined recruit about ten thousand students nationwide every year.
In Jiangbei Province, they recruit hundreds of people every year.
"Didn't awaken." Li Yuan shakes his head.
"Didn't awaken, then you..." Li Changzhou frowns.
"But in the school's small test today, my physical fitness was 6.5," Li Yuan says: "Martial arts skill score was over 360."
Li Changzhou's eyes light up, and there is a hint of hard-to-conceal excitement on his face.
He understands the gold content of what Li Yuan said.
"Really?" Chen Hui is also quite surprised.
She remembers that Li Yuan was excellent at the end of last semester, but it seems he was far from what he is now.
Especially physical fitness, it improved by 0.5 in the blink of an eye? Very exaggerated.
"Teacher Xu Bo tested it personally, and the martial arts skill score is based on the college entrance exam standard." Li Yuan adds.
Xu Bo tested it?
Li Changzhou nods slightly.
He knows Xu Bo; the other party also has some fame in the entire Guanshan District.
Before, Li Changzhou heard that Xu Bo became Li Yuan's martial arts head teacher and was very happy, thinking Li Yuan had a good teacher.
"Good!"
"A-Yuan, at this rate, not to mention getting into the top five universities, the hope of getting into the 'Martial Artist Class' of Jiangbei University is very high," Li Changzhou laughs. This is the best news he has heard today.
Li Yuan looks at his aunt and uncle, feeling a sigh in his heart.
He originally planned to give them a surprise during the January mock exam.
Now that his uncle is about to go on a long journey, Li Yuan thinks for a moment, still wanting to let the other party be at ease.
For parents, the most worrying thing is the safety of their children, followed by their children's future.
"Don't rush the college entrance exam application. Whether to be a full-time martial artist or not, wait until you get into martial arts university, and then decide in university," Li Changzhou entrusts: "For now, work hard first."
"I understand." Li Yuan nods heavily.
"Keep the matter of me going to the Northern Frontier to yourself for now," Li Changzhou says again: "When I'm not home, take care of your younger siblings for your aunt when you have time... Okay, you've been tired all day, go back to your room and rest."
"Mm." Li Yuan thinks for a moment and finally doesn't mention the third-class scholarship.
He gets up and leaves the master bedroom.
The door closes.
"Old Li." Chen Hui looks at Li Changzhou, her tone carrying anger: "Just now, you supported A-Yuan in becoming a full-time martial artist?"
She is indeed angry.
"Didn't you hear his grades?" Li Changzhou shakes his head: "Martial arts skill score over 360, this improvement speed... Big Brother's martial arts skill score in the college entrance exam back then doesn't seem to have been this high."
"You still know Big Brother." Chen Hui grits her teeth: "Big Brother and Sister-in-law helped us so much back then, only leaving A-Yuan behind. Do you know how dangerous a full-time martial artist is?"
"Your former classmates who chose the path of a full-time martial artist, how many are still alive?"
"I know what you mean." Li Changzhou looks at his wife, sighs slightly, and pulls his wife Chen Hui into his arms.
Chen Hui lowers her head, her eyes red, and doesn't speak again.
Half a while.
"A-Yuan, children are grown up and have their own will."
"Can only persuade, cannot force." Li Changzhou says: "After I leave, you can slowly persuade him."
"Besides, the path of a full-time martial artist is not so easy to walk."
"How many students who get into martial arts university don't long to be full-time martial artists? But in the end, very few take this path."
"Wait until he enters university, knows there are people outside people, we don't need to persuade him, he will calm down." Li Changzhou says.
Chen Hui barely nods.
"Wife, accompany me for a while longer." Li Changzhou holds his wife in his arms.
Chen Hui calms down, leaning against her husband's chest.
Time passes.
Almost twelve o'clock.
"The children should all be asleep." Li Changzhou finally gets up, saying in a low voice: "Wife, I should go, or I'll miss the high-speed train."
"When I get to the Northern Frontier, I'll transfer the 500,000 subsidy promised by the state to you."
"The family... I'll leave it to you."
In Li Yuan's room.
The light is off, only the faint street light and moonlight from the window shine in.
In the room of less than twenty square meters, except for two wardrobes and a micro-home virtual network cabin occupying about two square meters.
Other areas are empty.
One of the wardrobes in Li Yuan's room is a Murphy bed designed to be foldable.
The purpose is to save space, making it convenient for him to do simple practice at home.
But since awakening the Mind Divine Palace in his second year of high school, Li Yuan has rarely used the Murphy bed, mostly sitting directly on the wooden floor.
Today is no exception.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan, sitting on the floor, moves his ears.
Strong physical fitness makes his hearing exceed ordinary people, and the middle of the night is extremely quiet, so he is very sensitive to any movement.
"Uncle left?"
Li Yuan hears the slight closing sound of the room door, getting up like a civet cat without making a sound.
Coming to the window.
Half a minute later, Li Yuan sees his uncle Li Changzhou walking out of the unit door in a hurry with a suitcase.
After walking a few steps, Li Changzhou pauses, looks back at the upstairs, then doesn't stop, disappearing at the corner of the road.
Li Yuan stands at the window for a long time.
"Uncle, is he really willing to go to the Northern Frontier?" Li Yuan sighs in his heart.
Uncle's sentence "someone always has to go" gave him a very big touch.
From childhood to adulthood, his uncle has been full of patriotic feelings and has always guided Li Yuan.
However, in Li Yuan's view, the situation in the Northern Frontier doesn't seem to have reached that point yet.
"Uncle going, it's not just the state's call, I'm afraid it's also for that super-high subsidy." Li Yuan's eyes are dim: "Muhua and I are practicing martial arts at the same time, the economic pressure on the family is too great."
Raising his hand.
Hum~ Silently, a ray of light shoots from Li Yuan's wrist, forming a transparent light screen projection in front of his chest.
What appears on it is a large amount of war report news about the "Luo Bu Sea Star Realm," including news about "participation subsidies" and "support subsidies."
"I must get into the top five martial arts universities." Li Yuan thinks, his determination becoming stronger.
Hoo!
Li Yuan comes to the wardrobe by the window, presses it lightly, the cabinet door bounces open under pressure.
Presented in front of Li Yuan, besides clothes, is only a special metal box. The pattern on the box shell is the endless starry sky, shining brightly.
This is the logo of the "Starry Sky Martial Arts Hall" among the three major Martial Arts Halls.
Open the box.
"Basic blood-qi medicinal liquid." Li Yuan stares at the two rows of ten bottles of medicinal liquid standing upright in the box, nine of which are empty, only one remains intact.
Taking out the last bottle of medicinal liquid, he holds it in his hand.
"Two thousand yuan a bottle." Li Yuan stares at this exquisite medicine bottle. The bottle body is nearly transparent, smooth and delicate, and he can feel a trace of coldness in his hand.
This is a special medicine bottle that can keep the medicine's efficacy from decreasing for a long time.
Through the medicine bottle, one can see the crimson liquid flowing inside, which looks slightly crimson under the faint moonlight, faintly giving people a sense of vitality.
This is the universal basic blood-qi medicinal liquid.
Like ordinary meals, even nutritional meals can only ensure that blood-qi is not deficient when tempering the body with high intensity.
But if one wants to improve the speed of physical evolution, one must use various precious medicinal liquids and treasures.
As far as Li Yuan knows, many precious medicines have better effects than universal blood-qi medicinal liquids, but the price is also much more expensive.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, basic blood-qi medicinal liquid is the highest among auxiliary cultivation medicines.
But even so, one bottle costs two thousand Blue Star coins.
Li Yuan consumes one bottle every three days for cultivation.
In a month, he spends nearly twenty thousand Blue Star coins just buying basic blood-qi medicinal liquid.
Plus daily meal expenses.
In a month, Li Yuan spends nearly thirty thousand Blue Star coins on cultivation materials.
Not counting expenses like clothes and tuition fees.
Plus Li Qianqian and Li Muhua... one can imagine the economic pressure his aunt and uncle are under.
"According to the time, I should drink
A strange scent began to diffuse.
"Gulp." Li Yuan skillfully tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of basic blood-Qi medicinal liquid.
He made sure not a single drop remained.
Only then did he put the empty bottle back into the box.
Soon, Li Yuan felt waves of heat radiating from his body, gradually diffusing to every part of him, being devoured hungrily by his tendons, bones, and muscles.
It felt very comfortable.
"After three days of crazy training, the effects of the last bottle of blood-Qi liquid have basically worn off, and my muscles and bones are exactly at the point of being starved." Li Yuan was very satisfied with the medicinal effect.
"Hmm."
"Past twelve o'clock, time to practice the 'Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'." Li Yuan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Gradually, his inner heart emptied, and his spirit turned inward.
He focused his consciousness on his mind.
Boom!
Silently and soundlessly, his consciousness had already arrived at a mysterious place.
Here, a strange palace was floating.
