I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

"This is it!"

Zhou Shan raised his head and looked at the plaque hanging above the wide gate courtyard. On the plaque were written the three characters "Julingmen".

Here is the headquarters of the inner city martial arts gym Ju Ling Sect. There are disciples wearing Ju Ling Sect costumes coming in and out. Within the high wall, there are also disciples who are training and shouting from time to time. It is very impressive.

There is a long table on one side of the entrance of the courtyard.

A young man wearing black martial arts uniform was sitting on a large wooden chair. When he saw Zhou Shan standing not far from the courtyard gate, looking at the courtyard, he immediately got up and walked towards him, then clasped his fists and said, "I'm the giant spirit." Chen Hai, a formal disciple of the sect, do you want to learn martial arts here?"

"I want to learn martial arts."

Zhou Shan cupped his fists and returned the salute.

"Come here, little friend, let's talk in detail." Chen Hai pulled Zhou Shan to sit down at the long table, and then said: "My little friend, do you know some of the costs of practicing martial arts."

"I know that the entry fee is twenty taels of silver a month."

Zhou Shan nodded.

"That's right, twenty taels of silver a month." Chen Hai said: "However, this is the lowest level. Twenty taels of silver does not include food and accommodation. If I live in an outer city, I will have to run back and forth every day. , we also have to go to the outer city for lunch. The restaurants in the inner city are not cheap, and we have to pay the entrance fee several times for going back and forth.

So the best thing is to include food and lodging, thirty-five taels of silver a month, and fish and meat every meal. This is mid-range.

A higher level package not only includes accommodation and meals, but also medicinal soup.

One dose of medicinal decoction to replenish qi and blood every day costs one hundred and eighty taels of silver a month. "

After listening to Chen Hai’s introduction.

Zhou Shan knew that this martial arts gym in the inner city was not something people from the outer city could afford.

The entry fee is 20 taels of silver a month, which is only the lowest level. Only 180 taels of silver can provide a medicinal soup that can replenish energy and strengthen blood. No bottom fisherman can make so much money after fishing for a lifetime.

Only young men from rich merchants and landlords who have no worries about food and clothing can afford to learn martial arts in inner city martial arts halls. However, Zhoushan now relies on the fish stall shop, even if he does not go fishing in the river, he can still earn five or six meals a month. One hundred taels of silver is considered a small asset.

"This is just a practice in the blood-strengthening stage, right? What if it's a practice in the skin-grinding stage?"

Zhou Shan asked.

"Practice in the skin-grinding realm?" Chen Hai glanced at Zhou Shan, and then said, "Young friend, are you getting started with art?"

"good."

Zhou Shan nodded.

"The martial arts hall does not exclude entry into martial arts, but our Juling Sect has a complete set of promotion assessments. Anyone who enters the martial arts hall to learn martial arts will start as a registered disciple, and promotion assessments will be held every month."

"Only by passing the promotion assessment can you become a formal disciple of the martial arts school. After meeting the requirements, the martial arts school will naturally teach the martial arts of the skin-grinding realm. However, if you fail to complete the assessment and be promoted to a formal disciple within half a year, you will lose the qualification to continue learning. The Juling Sect should be removed from the list to avoid being beaten to death with three or two punches after going out, which would damage the reputation of the Juling Sect. "

"After becoming a formal disciple, the tuition fee will be increased from twenty taels per month to fifty taels. This is a filial piety money given to the master. Unless the master in the martial arts school sees him as a direct disciple, the tuition fee will be waived. , the expenses for food, food and accommodation, if you can become a true disciple of the teaching mantle, the master will provide all the expenses such as medicine and soup needed for practice. "

Chen Hai explained.

"I understand, I'll pay twenty taels."

Zhou Shan nodded.

He is already a warrior in the skin-grinding realm. There is no need to pay the highest level of wasted money. As long as he can enter the martial arts gym. After becoming a registered disciple, he only needs to pass the promotion assessment to become an official disciple. Then he can learn the giant spirit gate skin-grinding realm. of martial arts.

"No problem. Register your name, age, and address here first, and then come in with me to pay."

Although Zhou Shan only quoted the lowest price of twenty taels, there was no look of disdain on Chen Hai's face.

His family comes from a lower-class farming family. He first studied martial arts for a period of time at a martial arts school in the outer city. After achieving some success in practice, he made some money and then came to the inner city to lead martial arts and join the Giant Spirit Sect. It is also the lowest grade.

In his opinion, Zhou Shan was in the same situation as him. He must have learned martial arts at a martial arts school in the outer city, made money and wanted to join the Giant Spirit Sect, which made him see the shadow of his past.

After registering the information, Chen Hai took Zhou Shan into the martial arts gym.

There is a huge open space in the front yard of the martial arts hall.

In the open space, there were hundreds of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys practicing boxing skills, making loud cheers.

"These disciples in the front courtyard are all registered disciples of the martial arts hall, and their daily practice is taught by the formal disciples of the martial arts hall." Chen Hai introduced: "Only when you become a formal disciple can you be qualified to practice in the inner courtyard, so formal disciples are also They are called inner court disciples and are taught by the martial arts master. If they perform well, they will have the opportunity to be accepted by the martial arts master as their direct disciples."

"More than a hundred registered disciples!"

Zhou Shan was secretly shocked.

Just these more than a hundred registered disciples, even if the lowest level is 20 taels of silver per person, they can earn more than 2,000 taels of silver a month, and they are earning more than 2,000 taels of silver purely, so there is no need to Pay taxes.

What's more, Julingmen's businesses include escort agencies, martial arts shops, medicine shops, blacksmith shops, etc. In comparison, his fish stall shop is just a drizzle, and all the shops in the entire fish market combined are not as good as Julingmen.

No wonder, the Fisher King Village can earn three thousand taels a month just by providing catches to Julingmen and all other industries.

After a while, the two of them walked through the front yard and came to the payment office at the end of a corridor.

Chen Hai handed over the paper with the information that Zhou Shan had just registered, and Zhou Shan took out the broken silver that had been prepared long ago. Because the minimum face value of the silver note was fifty taels, he had to ask for change from the Julingmen when he took it out.

After the broken silver was weighed correctly, Zhou Shan received a waistband representing the status of a registered disciple of the Juling Sect and a set of martial arts uniforms, but the martial arts uniforms he received were different from those worn by Chen Hai.

Chen Hai's martial arts uniform is black and he is an official disciple of the inner courtyard.

The registered disciples in the outer courtyard are wearing gray martial arts uniforms.

The direct disciples, who are a higher level than the formal disciples, wear yellow martial arts uniforms. Although the true disciples also wear yellow martial arts uniforms, the cuffs, collars and other places are inlaid with gold threads, making them look more noble.

"This waist card is only valid for one month." Chen Hai said: "During this month, you can come to the front yard to practice martial arts with everyone. After one month, you can hand over the silver coins and exchange for a new waist card. Only then can you become an official disciple. , the waist badge is permanent, and it will be registered and sent to the Yamen, so you don’t need to pay the city fee when entering the inner city. "

"clear!"

Zhou Shan nodded and put away the waistband engraved with his name and date.

"After you put on your martial arts uniform, you can go to the front yard and practice with everyone."

Chen Hai does his duty conscientiously.

After Zhou Shan changed into martial arts uniform, he took him to the front yard to the senior brother who was responsible for teaching the registered disciples.
