Chapter 35: Practicing Martial Arts

The matters surrounding Cheng Feng have basically stabilized for now.

Only his own strength is his shortcoming.

After the incident where Lin Wan'er intercepted and tried to kill him,

Cheng Feng has become more attentive to his Martial Dao.

The newly learned blade posture is called the Fixed Blade Posture,

which can be considered an advanced version of the Fixed Horse Posture.

Once the Fixed Horse Posture is Proficient, it can be considered handy and exceptionally skilled.

On this foundation, he integrated the fist posture into the blade posture, changing his breathing, footwork, arm span, and stance entirely.

It was as if the Fixed Horse Posture had been broken apart and reorganized.

Cheng Feng started practicing from the beginning.

Perhaps because the Fixed Horse Posture was Proficient, the progress of the Fixed Blade Posture was also relatively fast.

Cheng Feng practiced diligently for ten days, and the Fixed Blade Posture also appeared on the Panmian.

Looking at these two related skills, Cheng Feng wondered if they would merge in the future when both reached the Proficient level.

As soon as the thought arose, the Panmian displayed a prompt box: "The two skills are similar, merge them?"

Cheng Feng certainly wouldn't just stand there.

After confirming the merger, the Fixed Horse Posture was merged into the Fixed Blade Posture.

Name: Cheng Feng

Lifespan: 16 (62)

Realm: Strength Refining Realm

Talent: More Children More Blessings

Skills: Fishing (Proficient 90/100)

Archery (Entry 2/100)

Fixed Blade Posture (Entry 3/100)

Calligraphy (Entry 4/100)

Fortune Point: 0

The 6/100 proficiency of the Fixed Horse Posture became 3/100 for the Fixed Blade Posture.

The relationship here might be that the 26 ratio shrank to 2.6.

Plus the one that usually appears when there is a skill.

The decimal numbers following it are not counted.

Cheng Feng is making simple deductions based on the current situation.

After all, it is another new discovery.

It might save some Fortune Points in the future,

to be used elsewhere.

There is no help for it; he is not a wealthy landlord right now.

He cannot keep himself in a state of being surrounded by flowers at all times.

Being able to support three women is already Cheng Feng's limit.

Since the skill points have been formed, the next period is time for Cheng Feng to go home and accumulate points.

Here at the Martial Arts Hall, there will be nothing else provided until the disciples finish learning the blade posture.

After the Fixed Blade Posture is also successfully practiced, he can come back to find the instructor to learn the Basic Blade Technique.

There are many disciples in the Martial Arts Hall, but this moment is a watershed.

One can directly ask the Martial Arts Hall to arrange tasks to earn a salary,

or one can continue to practice martial arts at the Martial Arts Hall.

The tuition remains the same: two taels per month for minors, five taels per month for adults.

The disciples who stay in the Martial Arts Hall

are mostly children from wealthy families.

The family pays, and you just need to study hard.

Disciples from poor families basically all go out to work for the Martial Arts Hall to rely on themselves.

But once this work is arranged and there is a salary, they no longer continue to practice martial arts at the Martial Arts Hall.

Most people choose not to continue paying tuition silver.

Then, in the future, those Martial Arts Hall disciples cannot call themselves disciples of the Martial Arts Hall.

They can only use their personal names; if something happens in the future, it is their own business, and the Martial Arts Hall cannot possibly care.

Only by promoting oneself to the Blood Refining Realm can one have the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect.

Facts prove that there is simply no one who still thinks about improving their Martial Dao realm after going out to work.

This is a disguised form of protection money and tuition.

Only wealthy families can afford to pay continuously.

If it is intermittent, the Martial Arts Hall will not accept it again.

Cheng Feng sighed at this man-eating world.

The thought he had before of wanting to find work through the Martial Arts Hall's arrangements was completely gone.

This protection money, Cheng Feng still has to pay.

For no other reason than safety.

Being out and about, saying one is a disciple of the Tieshan Martial Arts Hall can also maintain a layer of status.

Cheng Feng now wants to add points.

In the shortest amount of time, save up enough points to rush up,

In the Skin Refining Realm, one can choose to be admitted under Wang Tieshan's name; Cheng Feng knows his own aptitude, which is just that of a Registered Disciple.

At the same time, becoming a Registered Disciple means one does not have to pay the monthly tuition of two taels.

Most people have fallen at the monthly two or five taels required to advance from Strength Refining to Skin Refining.

It is indeed quite a lot, especially since five taels a month after reaching adulthood can crush a person.

Cheng Feng's greatest advantage now lies in the fact that he can just add points.

As long as there are Fortune Points, skill upgrades are fast, and thus the realm will also keep up.

It is a virtuous cycle.

Cheng Feng thinks very beautifully, but he just doesn't know if the facts will be so smooth.

Cheng Feng looks at Blade Posture entry 3/100, with 97 remaining; three times a day takes 33 days, and twice a day takes 49 days.

In between, one cannot rest, and it cannot be interrupted.

In terms of women, one must also be reliable; if another gets pregnant, then it will have to pause for a while.

In between, there is also medicinal soup that needs to be tried.

This also requires silver.

That is why they say practicing martial arts really requires a family foundation.

Just in terms of aptitude, most people have already been weeded out.

Plus the tuition, resources,

Cheng Feng didn't know until he calculated, and he was shocked by the calculation.

His own family foundation might not even be enough.

After the New Year, he will also have to add Lao San.

Cheng Feng looks at his small treasury and ponders.

How about buying another one?

This way, they can all rotate.

As for living, one can use a rented house.

In the future, he must buy a big house.

Cheng Feng returned home with a somewhat heavy heart.

Looking at the three women in front of him, he shook off those deep thoughts.

When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road.

Thinking about those things that are or aren't is useless right now.

Eat well, drink well, and live his own little life first.

At night, Cai'er and Xiaohua were still chatting, while Cuier and Cheng Feng were together on that rickety, pitiful bed.

Cheng Feng was testing his limits, feeling the remaining strength in his body.

Three times, this was not his limit, but looking at the already drenched Cuier, that was clearly her limit.

Forget it, Cheng Feng thought, no longer tossing about.

Cheng Feng called for Xiaohua from next door to change the bedding, while he himself took Cuier into his arms, gently stroking her skin that was as white as snow.

Cuier has a graceful figure, and this experience made Cheng Feng very satisfied.

However, the flaw is that the durability is slightly poor. Cuier is, after all, an ordinary person.

Oh? So Cheng Feng is a Strength Refining Realm Martial Artist, poor Cuier.

Watching the busy Xiaohua, Cheng Feng's eyes flickered.

Xiaohua was tidying the sheets at the head of the bed, her side profile curves rising and falling gracefully.

After two months of recuperation, her body has recovered quite well, and her cheeks are no longer as narrow and gaunt as when they first met,

Instead, there is a bit of baby fat, a pair of beautiful eyebrows, dimples by her lips that are gorgeous, her eyes and brows reveal Spirit Qi, and her height is about 166 centimeters.

His past self had excellent taste; Cheng Feng was quite satisfied with his own taste.

Xiaohua seemed to feel Cheng Feng's gaze, her movements slowed, and her hands and feet became even gentler.

Xiaohua knows Cheng Feng's preferences, or perhaps Sister Cai'er told her in secret.

Their status is equal; even after giving birth, they are still Concubines. Cheng Feng will eventually take a wife.

Great Zhou has a clear division for wives and concubines: one Principal Wife, two Equal Wives, three Concubines, and countless minor concubines.

Cai'er will not directly ask Cheng Feng what he will do in the future, but silently arranges the women Cheng Feng brings back from outside and settles them in this courtyard.

In terms of status, Cai'er has a natural advantage. She is the first woman in Cheng Feng's life, and also the first woman Cheng Feng bought, able to better coexist harmoniously with other women.

Naturally, Cai'er also silently regards the two as being in the same camp, advancing and retreating together. If the number of women increases in the future, or a Principal Wife takes the position, she can also huddle together for warmth.
