The martial arts School was named Golden Bull Martial Arts School.
In Lin County, it was considered a considerable force.
The martial arts School Master was named Xu Jun, a Martial Artist at Refining Skin Perfection, followed by a group of Refining Skin Realm - Middle Stage and Lianpi Late Stage Instructors.
Although Gu Qingfeng's strength wasn't exceedingly high, he had stepped into the Refining Skin Realm - Middle Stage, meeting the requirements to join the Golden Bull Martial Arts School.
Therefore.
After he displayed his strength, becoming an Instructor was a natural progression.
"A regular Instructor earns five taels of silver a month. Instructor Gu, that should be fine, right?"
Xu Jun chuckled.
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "No problem!"
Five taels of silver was not a small amount.
In Lin County, if a regular family of three was frugal with their annual expenses, five taels of silver was entirely sufficient.
This was the difference between a Martial Artist and a regular person.
Even if one was only at the Refining Skin Realm - Middle Stage, the treatment received was something ordinary people couldn't compare to.
Soon.
Both parties signed and sealed the agreement.
Gu Qingfeng became a regular Instructor at the Golden Bull Martial Arts School, with a monthly salary of five taels of silver, but he was required to consistently guide Disciples in cultivation for twenty days each month, with at least four hours per day.
If this requirement could not be met, the Golden Bull Martial Arts School had the right to deduct the monthly salary.
Regarding this.
Gu Qingfeng naturally had no objection.
Five taels of silver was more than enough to raise a child; even hiring a wet nurse would be no problem.
But considering his current financial constraints, Gu Qingfeng wanted to receive a month's salary first, which Xu Jun did not refuse.
Having received the silver.
Gu Qingfeng first used the price of one tael of silver per month to find a wet nurse who had recently given birth and had enough milk to feed the child.
The woman was a young married woman in her thirties, still charming, but her face was slightly sallow, indicating some malnutrition in her daily life. However, upon hearing the high price of one tael of silver, her complexion became much rosier.
When all matters were properly arranged.
Gu Qingfeng's life returned to its normal track.
Cultivating daily.
Then, he quietly waited for Gu Yang to grow up, to see if there would be another opportunity to trigger a reward.
Originally.
Gu Qingfeng had the idea of marrying and having more children, but currently, for him, the cost of marrying was not low, and if he were to raise several more children, he feared he would be willing but unable.
What's more.
Regarding marriage.
Gu Qingfeng also hoped to find someone he felt a connection with.
Otherwise, becoming merely a Puppet for procreation was not what he desired in his heart.
At least for now, Gu Qingfeng did not have this idea.
...
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye.
Seven years had passed.
Seven years allowed Gu Qingfeng to become more mature; he had reached the age of twenty-nine, just one step away from entering the age of thirty, the age of establishment.
As early as two years ago.
Gu Qingfeng had cultivated the Mountain Shattering Fist to Great Accomplishment, and his cultivation had broken through to the Lianpi Late Stage.
It wasn't that his talent had become stronger, but because he had refined Qi Blood Pills and subsequently used his monthly salary to purchase many cultivation resources, thus achieving a successful Breakthrough.
When his Realm broke through to the Lianpi Late Stage, Gu Qingfeng's status at the Golden Bull Martial Arts School also rose; he was directly promoted from a regular Instructor to a Senior Instructor.
Regarding the monthly salary.
It also increased from five taels of silver a month to ten taels of silver.
With this monthly salary, if one worked steadily for a few years, the accumulated silver would be entirely sufficient for ordinary people to comfortably enjoy their later years.
It was just a pity.
As a Martial Artist, Gu Qingfeng earned money quickly, but he also spent it like flowing water.
After several years, he hadn't saved much silver.
However.
As for the courtyard he had originally rented, Gu Qingfeng had bought it outright several years ago, making it his true Foundation in Lin County.
After finishing a set of fist techniques, Gu Qingfeng stopped his movements, allowing his surging Qi and blood to gradually calm down. At this moment, he saw a half-grown child walking back from outside.
The child had a delicate appearance, clear and bright eyes, and his eyebrows bore a striking resemblance to Gu Qingfeng's.
"Dad!"
"Class finished so early today?"
"The teacher had something today, so class ended early!"
Gu Yang chuckled.
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly upon hearing this. Then, he looked at his son before him, who was only seven years old but, due to never lacking nutrition since childhood, was much sturdier than average children.
Seeing this.
Gu Qingfeng spoke, "You've come at the right time. You are now seven years old, which is a foundational stage. Today, your dad will teach you martial arts to see if you have talent in this area."
"Really?"
Gu Yang's eyes immediately lit up. He had watched Gu Qingfeng practice martial arts since he was young and understood that his dad was a Senior Instructor at the Golden Bull Martial Arts School, considered a famous expert in Lin County.
Gu Yang had previously expressed his desire to practice martial arts, but Gu Qingfeng had always refused, citing his young age.
Now that Gu Qingfeng had brought it up himself, Gu Yang was naturally overjoyed.
--
Teaching Gu Yang to practice fist techniques was not a difficult task for Gu Qingfeng.
Having taught apprentices at the martial arts School for a few years and having cultivated the Mountain Shattering Fist to Great Accomplishment himself, teaching a seven-year-old child was naturally an easy matter.
Originally, he thought Gu Yang was young, practicing fist techniques would be hard, and he would struggle to persist for too long. Gu Qingfeng had even prepared himself to use corporal punishment.
Unexpectedly.
Although the child was young, his perseverance was not lacking at all.
No matter how hard the fist practice was, Gu Yang stubbornly persevered.
Moreover.
Gu Qingfeng discovered that Gu Yang's talent in martial arts was much better than his own.
He had painstakingly cultivated the Mountain Shattering Fist for several years and only barely managed to reach the entry stage, but Gu Yang took less than three months to successfully Cultivate the Mountain Shattering Fist to the entry stage, allowing his own Realm to break through to the Skin Refinement Realm - Initial Stage.
And at the moment Gu Yang broke through, Gu Qingfeng's information panel, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed new messages.
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has broken through to the Skin Refinement Realm - Initial Stage!"
"Reward: Improvement Point * 1!"
"Reward: Qi Blood Pill * 20!"
"Reward: Low Grade martial arts 'Iron Body Skill'!"
This time's reward.
Was much more generous than the last time.
Leaving aside the Improvement Point for now, the Qi Blood Pills were double the amount from last time, and this time, there was also an extra Low Grade martial arts, the Iron Body Skill.
So-called Low Grade martial arts are entry-level martial arts.
For example, the Mountain Shattering Fist that Gu Qingfeng is currently cultivating belongs to the category of Low Grade martial arts.
But even Low Grade martial arts are extremely precious to many people and difficult to obtain easily.
Only by joining a martial arts School and paying a large amount of silver is there a chance to be taught Low Grade martial arts.
Now.
Getting an extra Low Grade martial arts from a single reward naturally made Gu Qingfeng feel satisfied.
Moreover, through this instance.
Gu Qingfeng had also completely figured out how his attribute panel was triggered.
When his descendant's cultivation broke through, he would receive corresponding benefits.
Right now, Gu Yang breaking through to the Skin Refinement Realm - Initial Stage resulted in such generous rewards, so if he breaks through to higher Realms in the future, the rewards will be even better.
