Only My Way

Soon after.

Outside the metal cage.

Looking at a certain fierce tiger imprisoned in the cage, with no room to dodge, reduced to a fixed target, and quickly taken down by the pharmacy clerk with a tranquilizer arrow from a bow and arrow.

Even after falling to the ground, the clerk followed up with another tranquilizer arrow, completely immobilizing it, and it was now sound asleep, snoring loudly.

And another fierce tiger pacing back and forth restlessly in another cage, yet helpless.

'Hmm~'

A certain idea arose spontaneously in Ling Wuyuan's mind.

'Brains and tools are indeed one of the fundamental differences in strength between humans and beasts.'

At this moment, right in front of him, the clerk in the pharmacy was using a device similar in structure to a syringe from his previous life to draw blood from the tranquilized tiger on the spot.

Throughout the entire process.

Several other clerks around were holding crossbows loaded with bolts, constantly aiming at the tiger that had already fallen to the ground.

Putting everything else aside.

At least the professionalism was maxed out.

Smelling the faint bloody scent in the air, the pharmacy manager smiled and said to Ling Wuyuan:

"I see that this is your first time here, young brother. I'll give you a 50% discount on the medicinal materials you're buying this time."

"Please take care of our shop's business in the future…"

Ling Wuyuan naturally agreed to this suggestion and discount on the spot.

"Definitely, definitely. I will definitely come here to buy medicinal materials in the future."

"After all, it's fresh!"

Having said that, he directly gave a thumbs up.

The tiger blood that had just been released was still emitting some heat and a bloody smell, undeniably fresh!

Hearing these words.

The manager immediately laughed:

"Hahaha…"

"That's natural, we guarantee 100% authenticity!"

He understood that as a practitioner of the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art], Ling Wuyuan would inevitably need various precious medicinal materials for a long time to come, and the entry-level medicinal materials at the moment were just the initial dessert.

Therefore, in other words, for the pharmacy, Ling Wuyuan was a long-term stable customer that was visible to the naked eye.

Just like the other practitioners of the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art].

The other party would be spending money here for many years to come, like a slow and steady stream of fixed income.

Therefore.

Leaving a good impression on Ling Wuyuan was a very important matter.

And precisely because of this.

Even though the price of the goods this time wasn't too expensive, the manager still decided to personally receive Ling Wuyuan, this new customer, and try to build rapport.

Doing business, after all~

Facing a customer with fixed related needs in the future, he naturally had to win them over.

Giving a 50% discount this time or something.

Was simply a small gesture.

Although this business was a bit of a small loss, it wouldn't lose much money, and it could be easily earned back later.

And Ling Wuyuan was also very satisfied with this.

It's naturally very good when someone proactively gives you a 50% discount.

As for buying medicine here in the future, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, it's the same no matter where he buys it. Since the other party is so accommodating, he naturally doesn't mind taking care of their business.

In this way, the matter became a win-win situation.

— —

As Ling Wuyuan left.

After thinking for a while, the manager turned to a confidant beside him and said:

"In the future, you should have someone specially record the medicine that this newcomer buys from us. If he starts buying the medicinal materials needed to practice the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art - Bone Forging Chapter], remember to notify me."

Practicing the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art], due to the different stages of practice, the medicines that practitioners need to buy will also be somewhat different.

Therefore, by knowing when Ling Wuyuan buys the auxiliary practice medicine for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art - Bone Forging Chapter], the pharmacy can completely deduce when the other party roughly entered the [Bone Forging Realm].

Then there's the simple calculation formula.

Known conditions:

1. Ling Wuyuan is a newcomer who is just about to start practicing.

2. The time point of purchasing the auxiliary practice medicine for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art - Body Refining Chapter].

Therefore:

The time point of purchasing the auxiliary practice medicine for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art - Bone Forging Chapter] - The time point of purchasing the auxiliary practice medicine for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art - Body Refining Chapter] = The actual total time it takes for the other party to step from the [Body Refining Realm] into the [Bone Forging Realm].

And through the actual total time it takes for Ling Wuyuan to step from the [Body Refining Realm] into the [Bone Forging Realm], the pharmacy manager can make a relatively accurate judgment on Ling Wuyuan's practice aptitude, and independently determine whether the other party has a promising future as a practitioner, and whether he and others need to further win over Ling Wuyuan.

In this regard, not only for Ling Wuyuan, but also for many people who practice middle-grade basic cultivation methods or even high-grade basic cultivation methods, the pharmacy has a general record.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

In the past.

This strategy has also allowed the pharmacy to reap a lot of rewards.

Enabling it to successfully win over many relationship networks worth making deep connections with.

Making its business more and more stable.

At night.

Inside Ling Wuyuan's room.

A strong medicinal smell and a certain high temperature filled this place.

As the owner of the room, Ling Wuyuan was sitting near a metal stove, earnestly decocting medicine.

Although he had been decocting medicine for a full four hours, according to the information recorded in the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Art], he would probably need to decoct it for another two or three hours before he could finish decocting the medicine.

During this process, while decocting the medicine, he also flipped through the textbooks he had received earlier, which were the three basic martial skills, [Basic Swordsmanship], [Basic Boxing], and [Basic Footwork].

While flipping through them.

He was also silently simulating the scene when he practiced these moves in his mind.

The answer was that he could basically use all the moves.

After all, his physical fitness was not bad, and there was no problem that some moves were too difficult to use, so he couldn't use them.

However, in the actual combat process, whether he can seize the appropriate timing to use them is a big problem, as he has too little actual combat experience.

Moreover, being able to use them is one thing, and whether they are standard is another.

After turning down the heat of the stove.

Ling Wuyuan stood in a relatively open area inside the room and began to practice [Basic Boxing].

As for [Basic Swordsmanship] and [Basic Footwork]?

The room was too small, and he really couldn't practice in the room.

To be honest.

The content of this [Basic Boxing] was indeed very basic.

The first few moves were nothing more than tricks such as straight punches, swing punches, and uppercuts, but it clearly described which part of his body should be used to exert force best when punching, and gave detailed qualification standards for each punch.

And the so-called standards can be roughly described in four words.

That is [Fast], [Accurate], [Ruthless], [Stable].

Although it doesn't sound difficult.

But [Basic Boxing] uses one sentence to describe the actual difficulty of the matter.

That is [Basic does not mean simple, let alone useless, but the core cornerstone of the high tower. If an ordinary person spends twenty years of time to achieve something in basic boxing, they can be called very talented.]
