Only My Way

Several hours later.

Ling Wuyuan sat in his room with a slightly serious expression, looking at the six items in front of him.

1. [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise].

2. [Basic Swordsmanship].

3. [Basic Boxing].

4. [Basic Footwork].

5. A standard long sword made of refined steel, approximately ninety centimeters in length and weighing about eight pounds.

6. A large denomination money order for two hundred and fifty gold coins.

Originally, Ling Wuyuan had initially wanted to choose the [Wild Bull Strength], which had a relatively low threshold for cultivation, so the money he got from his classmates would be more than enough for him to cultivate to the [Bone Forging Realm].

However, after thinking about it, he still chose the more expensive and effective [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise].

There was no way around it; the problem wasn't with the exercise being expensive, but with him being too poor.

After cultivating to a certain level.

He could completely earn money for subsequent cultivation by completing gang missions.

As for the other three manuals, [Basic Swordsmanship], [Basic Boxing], and [Basic Footwork], these were basic attack techniques distributed by the White Crow Gang training ground, and were not low-grade martial skills; their actual status was probably only slightly better than Wang Ba Quan (a crude form of boxing).

Uh…

Their status was somewhat similar to military boxing in his previous life.

Of course, the actual effect was definitely more brutal.

Many of the moves could cause disability or death.

In his previous life's environment, if someone used a set of basic boxing techniques and didn't have a background, they would at the very least be spending a few years working a sewing machine, or even eating metal peanuts (getting shot).

In short, they were practical basic combat skills that everyone had summarized through real life-and-death struggles.

In addition to these three, the training ground also had things like [Basic Leg Techniques], [Basic Claw Techniques], [Basic Archery], [Basic Dagger Techniques], [Basic Saber Techniques]… etc.

These things were equivalent to basic teaching materials in the White Crow Gang's training ground.

Everyone only needed to choose their favorite attack techniques to cultivate according to their preferences.

Although none of them could be considered very powerful.

They were definitely more than enough for a group of newbies, just right for laying a foundation and getting used to various attack methods in advance…

Ling Wuyuan planned to study the other basic skill manuals after he had thoroughly studied [Basic Swordsmanship], [Basic Boxing], and [Basic Footwork].

As for the fifth and sixth items, there was nothing to introduce.

The former was his last reward as a good student.

Even if it couldn't be considered very precious, it was still a gang-issued weapon made of genuine refined steel, said to be able to chop through some inexpensive metal weapons that weren't too hard.

He didn't expect much.

It was definitely no problem to use it against various beasts and fierce beasts.

It was enough for Ling Wuyuan to use for a long time.

The only problem was that the ninety-centimeter-long sword body was a bit too long for Ling Wuyuan, who was only a little over one meter and fifty centimeters tall, giving him the feeling that he was using a two-handed greatsword.

However.

Thinking about his body's development speed, he didn't think it was a big deal.

And that gold ticket was the legacy left behind after his good classmate had a massive arterial hemorrhage.

Um…

Heavily dropping gold coins!

Two hundred and fifty gold coins.

How to describe this amount…

Just talking about money is a bit abstract, it's better to describe it with prices.

First of all, in the [White Mist Kingdom], fifty copper coins = one silver coin, fifty silver coins = one gold coin. This is the official exchange rate, fifty to one.

The actual purchasing power of a copper coin is about two copper coins = one baked cake.

A baked cake without any meat, but with a portion equal to one or two bowls of rice.

So we can derive the basic formula: two hundred and fifty gold coins = twelve thousand five hundred silver coins = six hundred and twenty-five thousand copper coins = three hundred and twelve thousand five hundred baked cakes.

Therefore, this amount of money is definitely not small, even if it is thrown into Black Rock City, it can buy a good small independent house, enough to house a family.

If Ling Wuyuan's classmate's elders weren't all counting on him to learn martial arts well in the White Crow Gang and had prepared his cultivation expenses and relationship-building expenses in advance, it would have been impossible for him to carry such a large sum of money with him.

However, for martial arts training, this money was actually just so-so.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

At least, after Ling Wuyuan roughly calculated the cost of medicinal materials needed for ordinary people to practice the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise] according to the information recorded in the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise], he couldn't say that this money was enough for him to practice to the [Bone Forging Realm], he could only say that he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

'I should go buy a portion of medicine first.'

'The pharmacy at the foot of White Crow Mountain should be able to gather the entry-level medicinal materials for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise].'

'After all, I heard people say that the pharmacies around White Crow Mountain directly raise live tigers, gray wolves, poisonous snakes…'

Although he felt that the rumored pharmacies were like large zoos, Ling Wuyuan still decided to take a look.

— —

Not long after.

When the time was approaching afternoon lunch.

Ling Wuyuan successfully arrived at the largest pharmacy nearby.

Before he even walked in, a female employee in a long robe with a pretty face greeted him with a warm smile:

“Little handsome guy, are you here to buy medicinal materials?”

Her voice had a delicate feeling.

It seemed that if Ling Wuyuan were a few years older, the other party's attitude might be even more enthusiastic.

“Yes.”

Ling Wuyuan didn't talk nonsense and immediately handed over a piece of paper:

“Give me a copy of all the medicinal materials on this, according to the standard.”

After the female employee took it, she carefully looked at it a few times, and then said with a smile:

“Oh~ Entry-level medicinal materials for the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise]~”

“The rest of the medicinal materials are actually easy to handle, even tiger bones can be taken out right now.”

“But freshly extracted tiger blood is hard to say…”

“Little handsome guy, please wait a moment, I have to ask our steward…”

“As far as I know, the two tigers raised in the backyard of our shop were bled some time ago, and I'm not sure if we can continue to draw blood today. After all, they are important assets in our shop. If we draw too much blood and kill them, it won't be good…”

In her words, she not only recognized the use of Ling Wuyuan's medicinal materials, but also stated the current situation.

In this regard, Ling Wuyuan was only a little surprised that the pharmacy actually raised live tigers, but he was not surprised that the female employee recognized what the medicinal materials were used for.

There was no other reason.

This pharmacy was one of the White Crow Gang's industries.

Many of the guys in the gang who wanted to practice the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise] had probably bought the same medicinal materials here, so it was not surprising that the other party recognized what the stuff was used for.

“Okay.”

“Go ask.”

Thanks: Fire Yan's 250 starting coins!
