Hunting Immortals and Demons

To open a martial arts gym, you must first buy a house.

The location of the purchase is also important.

Baicao City is built on the mountain, and the east gate is close to the Li family's second-level bloodline. Therefore, most of the DC area is populated by people from the Li family or people related to the Li family.

It is obviously not suitable to open a martial arts gym there.

The other three districts, including Beicheng District, are mostly local gentry and have their own martial arts heritage, so they are not suitable.

Finally, Lu Yan chose Nancheng District.

Let Wang Lin and Li Quan look for a suitable house.

In just a few days, the house was selected.

Lu Yan went to see it himself.

It covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and has several buildings, including bedrooms, living rooms, main halls, study rooms, practice rooms, and martial arts kitchens.

There is also a very large yard.

Very suitable for opening a martial arts studio.

After asking around, I found out that this place used to be a martial arts gym.

However, the owner of the gym was beaten to death and the descendants could not continue to operate it, so they sold the martial arts gym and moved away.

For such a large area, the price is naturally not cheap, costing twelve thousand taels.

After some haggling, the deal was finally settled at 10,000 taels.

Then there is the purchase of some martial arts training equipment, equipment, etc.

Then there's pricing.

If you want to learn martial arts, you have to pay.

But Lu Yan's main purpose in starting a martial arts gym was to cultivate his direct lineage and cultivate a group of loyal and reliable warriors. Making money was not his main purpose.

Therefore, Lu Yan set the price lower.

He has already inquired about it. In Baicao City, if you want to go to a martial arts gym to practice martial arts, even if you practice third-rate martial arts, the tuition will cost one hundred taels of silver.

It is even more difficult to practice second-rate martial arts.

Not only does the tuition cost three hundred taels, but you also need to pass numerous assessments and become the direct disciple of the museum owner before you can teach it.

Moreover, the entire martial arts will be taught to you without paying the money. This is unrealistic.

The market price of second-rate martial arts is three thousand taels. If you give him three hundred taels and expect to learn the whole set of martial arts, it is impossible. It is taught part by part.

Lu Yan took out three third-rate martial arts and three second-rate martial arts to teach.

The third-rate martial arts are: Iron Thread Fist, Impala Kick, and Iron Sand Palm.

The second-rate martial arts are: Sky-Breaking Sword, Wind Chasing Step, and Wind Hand.

Other martial arts schools take martial arts, especially second-rate martial arts, very seriously, but Lu Yan has no such concept.

Third-rate martial arts, priced at sixty taels.

Second-rate martial arts, priced at two hundred taels.

The price is almost one-third less than other martial arts schools.

As long as you give money, you will receive it and teach martial arts.

What to do if you don't have money? You can accept it even if you don't have money, but you have to work as a handyman in a martial arts school for two years. Those who pass the examination and pass the test of character can still teach martial arts.

He just wants to cast the net over a large area and then select those with good character to focus on training.

As for those whose character is not up to par, anyway, once the martial arts is passed on, they are left to fend for themselves. As for how far they can practice, it depends on their own luck, and it is impossible to spend resources to cultivate them.

Half a month later, the martial arts gym officially opened.

In order to build a reputation, Lu Yan printed a large stack of 'leaflets' in advance, which stated the tuition price and the name of the martial arts to be taught.

Before the opening, more than ten people, including Li Quan and Cao Hu, handed out flyers on the street and distributed thousands of flyers.

On the day of the opening, some people came, but not many, and most of them were from poor families who could not afford tuition and came to learn martial arts for free after working as a handyman for two years.

There are only three people who can pay tuition to practice martial arts.

These three people all wanted to practice second-rate martial arts, and Lu Yan accepted them all.

For those who could not afford the tuition, Lu Yan personally checked the bones and age. Those with good bones and the right age would be kept. Those with poor bones or too old would have to be sent back.

He wants to cultivate his own strength, not do charity.

There were not many people at first, which was normal. Lu Yan was mentally prepared.

After all, his reputation has not been spread out, and others cannot tell whether he is real or fake. Who knows whether he is really capable or fake?

Sixty taels of silver or two hundred taels of silver are not small amounts.

It may be the lifetime savings of many families.

There is no need to rush, take your time.

On that day, Lu Yan summoned three new martial arts apprentices.

"The owner."

The three apprentices saluted respectfully.

They are called masters, not masters, because they are not Lu Yan's disciples at all, just martial arts apprentices.

The same is true for other martial arts schools. Unless one has passed numerous assessments and is accepted as a direct disciple by the master of the martial arts gym, he is considered the official disciple of the master.

Lu Yan has no idea of ​​recruiting a direct disciple now. He doesn't have the thought or energy to do so.

"Um!"

Lu Yan nodded, sat at the top, and looked at the three of them carefully.

He now looks about fifty years old and has a majestic appearance.

There is no way, his real age is only in his early twenties, which is too young. It is strange for such a young gym owner to have someone come to learn martial arts.

There are three apprentices, two of them are around fourteen or fifteen years old, and one is about sixteen years old.

The body is still strong, which shows that the nutrition is good on weekdays.

If you can spend two hundred taels of silver to learn martial arts, it will definitely not be too bad.

"Which martial arts do you want to learn?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Master, I want to learn to break the air sword."

The sixteen-year-old boy said.

"I want to learn the Swift Wind Hand, which is more balanced."

"I'm going to learn the wind-chasing step."

The other two teenagers made their choices respectively.

"good."

Lu Yan nodded, and then summoned Li Quan, Zhang Jun and Cao Hu, asking each of them to take one person to teach them martial arts. He didn't need to do it himself, it was enough for the others to do it for them.

In the next few days, people came one after another to learn martial arts.

Seven days later, a total of ten apprentices were received, not counting the handymen.

Six of them came to practice second-rate martial arts, and four came to practice third-rate martial arts.

Lu Yan handed all these people over to professors Wang Lin, Zhang Jun and others, and observed their character.

And he continued to leisurely practice martial arts to accumulate energy and blood, and also studied martial arts chefs.

"It's been more than a year. It stands to reason that I have basically mastered the basic knowledge of martial arts, and it's time to get started. Why can't I condense the martial arts clone?"

Lu Yan frowned and thought.

Could it be that Taoism is only useful for martial arts, but not for martial arts chefs?

Taoism is Taoism, martial arts is Tao, but cooking is not Tao?

Lu Yan felt that something must have gone wrong.

Which link is the problem?

Lu Yan began to think and analyze from the nature of martial arts cooking.

If a martial arts chef wants to improve, he must master various recipes, understand the characteristics of different ingredients, continue to cook, and accumulate experience. This is why Shen Yinuo travels around the world.

But martial arts is different.

If you specialize in one martial art, practicing boxing means practicing boxing. You don't need to understand kicking or sword skills. As long as you practice a boxing well and master it, you will naturally improve.

Martial arts chef, can this be done?

He thought of the Chinese chefs in his previous life.

Some masters with superb cooking skills may not be able to cook all cuisines. They may only be proficient in one or two dishes and make them outstandingly. If they reach the pinnacle of one or two dishes, they will become world-famous.

Martial arts chef, can this be done?

He first specializes in a martial arts, can he succeed?

Lu Yan planned to choose a martial food and practice it intensively, and for this martial food, 'Yinuo Lizard Meat' was naturally the most suitable.

He helped Shen Yinuo and accumulated a lot of experience under his influence. In addition, the armored lizard meat was ready-made and there was no need to buy it separately.

Lu Yan immediately went out and went to the Bloodline of Changfeng City overnight. He hunted an armored lizard, brought the lizard meat back into pieces, then mixed the auxiliary spiritual herbs and started cooking the 'Yinuo Lizard Meat'.

There are a total of eighteen steps to make Yinuo lizard meat, which requires the use of twenty-three kinds of spiritual herbs and three kinds of martial arts condiments.

Lu Yan first cut off a pound of armored lizard meat, put it into a special stew pot, lit a fire and boiled water. After the water boiled, he took one of the elixirs and added it, then controlled the size of the flame and slowly simmered it.

He stared attentively, observing the color changes of the meat and water of the alien beasts.

When cooking martial arts, the first step is to remove the blood poison from the meat of exotic animals.

But blood poison is not easy to get rid of. It requires nine steps and nine kinds of elixirs.

Moreover, the elixirs are not added all at once, but one by one.

For example, the first type of liquid-separating grass softens the meat of alien beasts so that the blood poison in the meat of alien beasts is not so closely connected to the meat of alien beasts.

When the heat is almost done, you should immediately add the second kind of spiritual grass to cooperate with the first one and increase the intensity.

This timing needs to be grasped just right. If it is too early or too late, this piece of alien meat may be completely scrapped.

Adding the second type becomes the third type, and the fourth type

Every step must be timed and there must be no mistakes.

The difficulty of cooking martial food is more than a hundred times greater than cooking ordinary food.
