My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 30: Wishful Thinking

"A secret medicine for strengthening blood?"

Chen Wuji carefully read through it and indeed, it was a powerful tonic for blood.

But it was different from ordinary blood-strengthening medicine.

After breaking through to the Body Refining Seventh Layer and starting the Blood Transformation, the efficacy of medicine no longer had much effect.

But the Seven Treasures Tiger Heart Decoction was different.

This secret medicine, not to mention the Body Refining Seventh Layer, even if it broke through to the Body Refining Ninth Layer and reached the True Qi Realm, it could still have an effect and continue to strengthen the blood.

However, when reaching the True Qi Realm, in order to strengthen the blood, the "tiger heart" in the Seven Treasures Tiger Heart Decoction required the heart of a monster tiger.

In the Body Refining Realm stage, an ordinary fierce beast's tiger heart would suffice.

Even so, when Chen Wuji compared the seven precious medicinal ingredients required in the prescription, the total cost of gathering them was at least one hundred taels of silver.

Not including the main ingredient, the tiger heart, just the seven auxiliary medicinal ingredients alone would cost a minimum of one hundred taels of silver.

The price was so high that it was not just drinking medicine, but clearly drinking money.

Of course, the cost was high, but the effectiveness was outstanding.

With about ten doses of the Seven Treasures Tiger Heart Decoction, one could undergo another round of blood transformation on top of the already completed Blood Transformation.

Note that this is the condition for the second Blood Transformation.

During the process of Blood Transformation, one still needed to take the Seven Treasures Tiger Heart Decoction, and the number of doses varied.

Ten doses, twenty doses, thirty doses...

The specific number depended on the cultivation method.

And the more times one underwent Blood Transformation, the easier it would be to open the Dantian and expand the Qi Sea.

After breaking through to the True Qi Realm, the True Qi condensed during refinement would also become more powerful.

"The Wang family's preparations are really thorough."

Blood-strengthening prescription!

Two hundred thousand taels of silver!

Techniques! Martial skills!

It could be said that the contents of the iron box, if obtained by a survivor of the Wang family, that person could hide in another state capital for a dozen or twenty years.

Wait until they become stronger before coming back for revenge, lacking nothing as long as they could survive.

"Like Wang Liancheng..."

"I wonder if he had similar preparations?"

Chen Wuji pondered for a moment, put away the prescription, map, and secret manual.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver notes belonging to the Four Seas Bank were also temporarily put away.

He only left behind the "Gold Jade Art" and began to cultivate.

With a solid foundation laid by the perfected ninth level of the "Fish Swallowing Technique" and a similar "Gold Jade Art" in the Body Refining part, it didn't take Chen Wuji long to successfully enter the door.

Once the technique was mastered, he could go on autopilot.

Chen Wuji opened the panel and equipped all five of his disciples with the "Gold Jade Art".

After finishing, he stretched lazily and came out of the underground secret room.

Checking the time, it was almost noon.

Chen Wuji immediately headed towards the dining hall.

The sect's residence was located in a large courtyard, and Chen Wuji and his seven disciples would have their meals together in the dining hall when there was no delay.

"It's amazing, and so sudden."

"No one expected that the Li family would launch a surprise attack and wipe out the Wang family."

"In last night's surprise attack, the Wang family was completely unprepared."

"Really? I heard that the Li family seemed to have invited experts to help them, which allowed them to quickly kill the high-level members of the Wang family and ultimately destroy them."

"Huh, the version I heard was that the Zhang family joined forces with the Li family to completely wipe out the Wang family."

"The Zhang family? Impossible. When the Zhang family takes action, it's more like the County Lord's doing!"

In the dining hall, Su Dayong, Han Ying, Chen Yifan, and others gathered together, excitedly chatting.

Even Nan Jinyu, who was usually focused on sword practice, occasionally chimed in.

Nie Xiaoxiao...

No, it was Nie Shuangshuang, her face full of excitement.

The seven disciples were inexplicably excited about the news of the Wang family's annihilation.

When Chen Wuji walked into the dining hall, the seven of them didn't notice at first. It was only when the servants who were serving the food respectfully called out that they woke up and stood up, calling out to their master.

"Master, the Wang family has been wiped out!"

Chen Yifan was the first to get excited and said, "It happened in the early morning. The Wang family was attacked by the Li family. Due to the suddenness of the attack, not many people from the Wang family managed to escape. Even the family head, Wang Zhongyi, died!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Wuji said calmly, "The Li family wiped out the Wang family. What does the County Lord say about this?"

"This... " Chen Yifan hesitated, and said, "Well, there shouldn't be any problem, right? The Li family is not killing ordinary people. Even if the county lord doesn't like them, he won't do anything to the Li family, especially since the Li family is so powerful. The county lord probably wouldn't dare to use force."

"As long as the Li family is generous enough to give half of the Wang family's assets to the county lord, I guarantee that the county lord won't say anything and will even help the Li family to cover up everything," Han Ying chuckled.

"That's true," Su Dayong nodded. "The county lord never hides his love for money."

"Just like how I love delicious food," Chen Qingning chimed in.

"And me, me too!" Nie Shuangshuang raised her hand. "I also love delicious food."

"You two are both gluttons!" Han Ying said irritably.

"Huh? Second senior sister, don't you like delicious food?" Nie Shuangshuang said, picking up a fork and spearing some honey-glazed pigeon from Han Ying's plate. "Then give this to me."

"Do you have more? I want some too!" Chen Qingning's eyes sparkled as she quickly ran over, wanting to get a share.

"Go away, both of you!" Han Ying laughed in exasperation. "I don't even have enough for myself, and you want some? Dream on!"

"Hmph, second senior sister, you're so stingy~" Nie Shuangshuang pouted unhappily.

"Little one, here's mine," Su Dayong said with a smile.

Nie Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, and she didn't correct her address this time. She hurriedly ran over and said, "Thank you, eldest senior brother!"

"Elder senior brother, what about mine? Do I have any?" Chen Qingning followed behind.

"Um, there's none left," Su Dayong said helplessly.

"Ah~" Chen Qingning wailed.

"Hahaha..."

Amidst the joking and laughter, lunch came to an end.

Chen Wuji called the seven people who were about to disperse and gathered them in the martial arts field.

"It's been a while since I last taught you swordsmanship. I know the progress each of you has made."

"Only the third child has mastered the 'Stormy Sword Technique,' and his progress has been rapid, reaching the level of mastery."

A moment of silence followed.

Su Dayong, Han Ying, Nan Jinyu, Chen Yifan, Duan Zhen, Chen Qingning, and Nie Shuangshuang all remained silent.

Nan Jinyu was used to it.

The others felt embarrassed and ashamed.

"Martial arts techniques emphasize compatibility."

Chen Wuji continued, "Just because the 'Stormy Sword Technique' doesn't suit you doesn't mean others won't. Today, I will teach you two more martial arts techniques."

"The 'Fierce Wind Thirteen Blades' and the 'Autumn Water Sword Technique.'"

"These two martial arts techniques are different from both the 'Cloud Piercing Saber Technique' and the 'Stormy Sword Technique,' but they complement each other instead of conflicting. Both the blade techniques and the sword techniques can be integrated."

"So, if you want to learn, you can give them a try."

"Master, I want to learn!" Chen Yifan was the first to speak up.

"I want to learn too."

"Count me in!"

"I want to learn too!"

Nie Shuangshuang raised both hands and jumped up and down.

Chen Qingning, who had originally planned to continue slacking off, stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Then I'll learn too."

"Very well."

Chen Wuji looked at the seven people and nodded calmly.

"The Rolling Stone Fist," "Fierce Wind Thirteen Blades," and "Autumn Water Sword Technique."

The three martial arts techniques obtained from the package that Wang Lian carried had no hidden dangers.

Because these three martial arts techniques were not exclusive to the Wang family, unlike the "Throwing Knife Technique."

And the martial characteristics of the "Rolling Stone Fist" were highly similar to the Chen Family's "Earth Dragon Fist."

However, its power was not as great as the "Earth Dragon Fist."

So, Chen Wuji directly gave up on it and put it aside.

The "Fierce Wind Thirteen Blades" and the "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" could complement each other.

The "Autumn Water Sword Technique" and the "Stormy Sword Technique" could also merge.

Chen Wuji immediately opened the panel and checked Nan Jinyu's information.

Mainly the compatibility of the "Autumn Water Sword Technique."

At a glance, he couldn't help but be amazed.
