Chapter 525: Reversing the Palm Martial Arts Hall

"Is this the Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill?"

Zhou You pinched a jade-blue pill the size of a dragon's eye, examining the ripple-like patterns on its surface.

The Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill is a supreme-grade Secret Medicine, a tier higher than ordinary Secret Medicine, specifically for Martial Masters to consume for nourishing the body and refining the physique.

After he returned to the martial arts hall, he heard a great piece of happy news: Qi Fengzi had already refined the Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill.

Once the item was in hand, he knew whether it was real or fake.

This pill was heavy, weighing a few fractions more than a lead-filled die; if an ordinary person were to swallow it rashly, not only would their stomach be unable to digest it, but the pill would also corrode their stomach lining, causing their intestines to rupture and their belly to rot, leading to death.

Only those with a physical body at the level of an Intermediate Martial Master or above can consume and digest it.

Zhou You nodded, comparing it to the records in the Medicine King Canon, and found that the quality of this pill was at a medium-to-high level.

Hmm, if he were to refine it himself, perhaps the quality would be even higher.

"Feng Zi, you did well."

Zhou You nodded toward Qi Fengzi; hmm, he hadn't seen her for many days, and the little girl was even prettier, as if a layer of soft light surrounded her entire body.

Tsk tsk, it was fortunate that she spent her days behind closed doors researching alchemy; if she were to step outside and let outsiders see her face, more than half the men in Fucheng would go crazy for her.

Qi Fengzi smiled reservedly; nowadays, she was increasingly cautious in front of Zhou You.

But when she learned that Zhou You's backer was a Mighty Martial Artist, she was incredibly shocked and simply could not believe it.

Born into a noble family, she understood the weight of a Mighty Martial Artist better than the average person; to put it this way, if a Mighty Martial Artist wanted to take a wife, the legitimate daughters of noble families could line up for him to choose from.

The inheritance philosophy of noble families was, to a greater or lesser extent, influenced by the Human Seed Sect: eugenics, selective breeding, and superior upbringing.

The seed of a Mighty Martial Artist was undoubtedly top-tier; using marriage as a means to keep the descendants of a Mighty Martial Artist within the family and optimize the bloodline generation after generation was the choice of almost every noble family.

Qi Fengzi knew that as long as Gu Lao was willing to give his consent, he could have his three wives and four concubines arranged by the legitimate daughters of various noble families.

As a junior under the protection of Gu Lao, Zhou You's status was already equivalent to that of a noble family disciple, second only to legitimate sons like Liu Fengji.

She never dreamed that the Commoner boy she first met in the Qi Family could grow to this point.

When did Zhou You climb up to such a big shot?

"Thump, what are you daydreaming about? I am talking to you."

Qi Fengzi felt a pain in her head; it turned out she had been caught by Zhou You while her mind was wandering.

"Feng Zi, when do you estimate you can upgrade to a Plant and Wood Pharmacist?" Zhou You asked her.

Qi Fengzi estimated that after she successfully refined the Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill, she largely met the conditions, with only a few minor details left to perfect.

"Feng Zi, I will give you a lesson..."

Compared to the instruction from Doctor Hua, the difference in quality was immediately apparent; it was simply not on the same level.

The difficult problems that had perplexed her in the past were immediately met with several solutions as soon as they were raised.

The Palm Martial Arts Hall, with the Seal Script 'Instruction' as its core, combined with the interface's platform for imparting knowledge and teaching.

It was highly efficient and achieved twice the result with half the effort for teaching martial arts, and now, one-on-one instruction of the knowledge from the Medicine King Canon was also smooth and seamless.

Qi Fengzi looked at Zhou You with eyes full of reverence; she had not expected Zhou You to have such a learned side, and she felt that her own intelligence was being developed to the greatest extent under Zhou You's guidance.

She thought to herself, no wonder he could gain the appreciation of a Mighty Martial Artist; Zhou You was accomplished in martial arts, and even his pharmacology was so formidable.

Her little face flushed red as she remembered how, a few days ago, Hua Youxing had privately encouraged her to change from a fellow disciple to a 'true sister'.

Qi Fengzi knew that she was destined not to return to her family, and being alone, she would inevitably have to rely on Zhou You. In this life, she could not marry anyone else but Zhou You.

When Hua Youxing proposed it so generously, Qi Fengzi felt a palpitation in her heart, feeling bewildered and lost, yet also carrying a hint of melancholy, though she did not know why.

Now she finally knew what she was worried about. Zhou You had used his practical actions to Decipher Confusion for her, making Qi Fengzi certain that this choice was destined to be correct.

"I am willing!"

Qi Fengzi's voice was very low, so low that even she herself could not hear it clearly.

As a Martial Master, Zhou You had extremely keen hearing, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just the young woman talking to herself.

He accompanied Qi Fengzi for five days and five nights of teaching, a crash course to ensure she had the ability to pass the assessment steadily.

"Zhou You, don't worry, I have arranged everything. Feng Zi has true talent and learning; she will definitely pass the assessment."

Once she became a Plant and Wood Pharmacist, Qi Fengzi would be a member of the Medicine King Sect and could access more refining techniques for Great Medicine and even Spirit Medicine.

This could also be considered Zhou You laying the groundwork in advance, considering the future.

Hmm, Zhou You thought that since Qi Fengzi needed to prepare for the exam, he would have to handle the potion for processing the Blood-Dripping Pearls himself.

Fortunately, the preparation of this kind of potion was not difficult, and the medicinal herbs were not scarce, making them easy to gather.

Through the purchasing channels of Xingren Tang, he gathered the materials needed for the potion ten days later and began the refining process.

The whole process was calm, with everything proceeding step by step...

Suddenly, one day, Zhou You thought of something; he put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and two completely different matters surfaced in his mind.

One was him using the Palm Martial Arts Hall to guide Qi Fengzi, and the other was the future grace of the Fucheng Monarch pointing him in the right direction for 3 days.

For some reason, both matters surfaced in his mind at the same time, giving rise to some kind of invisible connection.

"That's it!"

Zhou You slapped his forehead hard; the Palm Martial Arts Hall was him as a master guiding an apprentice, where knowledge was transmitted without loss, and the apprentice's understanding, memory, and deductive abilities were elevated to the extreme—it was almost the most perfect state of instruction.

If only he could achieve the effect of the Palm Martial Arts Hall while listening to the Monarch's guidance!

The three days concerned the Monarch, who was also a Grandmaster, and the gap between him and a Martial Master was too large; it was inevitable that he would encounter the regret of being unable to understand, standing before a mountain of treasure but unable to enter.

The Palm Martial Arts Hall was simply the perfect solution to this situation.

But...

The Palm Martial Arts Hall was one-way; in the area it covered, only Zhou You could teach others, and it could not work the other way around.

Once he thought of this, Zhou You was extremely worried; would he just waste this opportunity in vain?

If he relied on his own aptitude to listen to the lecture, Zhou You could not compare to geniuses among geniuses like Liu Fengji and Yan Baihu.

"Trial Project (Six-Star): Grandmaster Mark, listen to the Grandmaster's guidance and absorb enough of the Grandmaster's essence to form a Grandmaster Mark engraved in the heart, providing potential for future breakthroughs."

"To open... Ni. Zhangzhong Wuguan, it requires the consumption of -500,000 Experience Points."

"Do you choose to open it?"

Zhou You felt his heart pounding; so it turned out that the Palm Martial Arts Hall could be reversed, which was the situation he had previously sought but could not obtain.
