Chapter 41 Enforcement Team! Boiling Blood Pill!
Over the next few days, Su Yu consulted with Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Sister Lin, and finally decided to change the herbal decoction to Tiger and Leopard Marrow Strengthening Decoction!
Tiger and Leopard Marrow Strengthening Decoction is the very decoction that Jiang Liuchuan mentioned using before.
This medicinal soup is made primarily from tiger and leopard bone powder, supplemented with rare ingredients such as ten-year-old ginseng and fire yang flower. It is a secret military soup passed down from the Black Stone Army.
Qin Shi made many contributions to the Black Stone Army back then, which is how he obtained this secret recipe for the medicinal soup!
This herbal soup is also very suitable for martial arts apprentices to accumulate qi and blood. With the effect of three doses a week, Su Yu can refine his qi and blood to the peak in the shortest time and make a full-fledged breakthrough to become a martial artist!
Three paintings a week, five taels each, that's sixty taels of silver a month!
Su Yu also felt a pang of heartache, as the silver he had just earned was about to be spent like water. However, only in this way could he have a chance to break through the bottleneck of martial arts within two months!
Moreover, once he has enough proficiency, the so-called bottleneck simply doesn't exist, so he can become stronger at the fastest speed!
"Let's pay for one month's share first!"
……
The following morning, at the inner courtyard pharmacy.
"Su Yu, this medicine is very strong, and your body is already weak..." Aunt Liu's eyes showed concern. She had watched Su Yu grow stronger step by step in the martial arts school and had always cared for him.
"Don't worry, big sister, I know what I'm doing." Su Yu looked at the herbal soup in her hand. The soup was reddish-brown and thick like blood, clearly much more potent than the bone-strengthening soup.
drink!
Su Yu took the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Upon tasting the herbal decoction, a surge of heat immediately engulfed me, as if I had swallowed a piece of burning charcoal!
Immediately afterwards, the spine felt hot and itchy, as if ants were crawling in the bone marrow, which was a sign that the blood and qi were growing wildly.
Su Yu was finding it hard to hold on any longer, so he immediately started practicing the White Ape Six Transformations right outside the pharmacy.
As the standing meditation practice continued, the pent-up energy finally found an outlet, transforming into surging blood and qi that frantically washed over the meridians.
[White Ape Six Transformations Proficiency +5]
"Wow, that's amazing! Five points of proficiency were gained in just one go!"
Su Yu grinned, enduring the powerful surge of qi and blood; this sensation, both painful and pleasurable, was irresistible.
After greeting Aunt Liu, I quickly headed to the front yard training ground and began practicing my stances like crazy.

……
The biting winter wind swept across the Blackwater River. Some sections of the river near the north had already frozen over, and the sound of countless ice blocks crashing against each other echoed across the desolate, snow-white land.
On this day, a commotion suddenly broke out in the inner courtyard of the martial arts school.
"It's done! Junior Brother Chen has succeeded!"
"Junior Brother Chen has broken through to the Martial Artist level!"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Chen, on your remarkable achievement!"
"Congratulations! Congratulations on achieving the first level of martial arts! Your future is bright!"
Cheers echoed throughout the martial arts school. The outer disciples stopped what they were doing and looked at the moon gate leading to the inner courtyard, their eyes filled with envy and awe.
Musha!
That was their lifelong dream!
It is the road to heaven for those who rise from the bottom and transcend social classes!
"Six months...only six months!" someone muttered to themselves, their voice bitter. "Is this what superior talent looks like?"
In the corner, Su Yu remained calm, his heart only experiencing a slight ripple before quickly calming down.
He continued walking on the stakes, and as he completed the last move, the latest progress of his martial arts appeared before his eyes.
【武学】：白猿六变（大成1680/3000），碧波鱼骨功（入门98/100），金钱掷（大成600/1000）
After more than a month, thanks to the powerful effects of the Tiger and Leopard Marrow-Changing Decoction, the White Ape Six Transformations have progressed more than halfway.
He practiced this money-throwing technique casually and reached a high level of mastery, perhaps not much slower than the White Ape's Six Transformations breakthrough.
Su Yu was very satisfied with his current progress. If he continued like this, he would definitely be able to break through to the Martial Artist level in a little over a month!
Then I will be able to leap over the dragon gate and completely change my destiny!
……
A few days later, news spread throughout the martial arts school that Master Qin would personally host a banquet at the Zhenxiu Restaurant to celebrate Chen Fan's breakthrough to the Martial Artist realm.
"Junior Brother Su, you've now broken through the barrier three times, and you also have a chance to break through the martial artist bottleneck. Come and join the banquet, and listen to Junior Brother Chen's experience in breaking through to become a martial artist."
Faced with Xu Feng's invitation, Su Yu did not refuse and decided to attend the banquet with the senior brothers from the inner courtyard.
Zhenxiulou.
This is the most upscale restaurant in the outer city, resplendent in gold and jade.
In the private room on the first floor, Qin Fangqiong sat in the main seat, with her senior brother Qi Linfeng to her left and her senior sister Qin Yu to her right, and Chen Fan further away!
Dressed in fine clothes, Chen Fan, full of vigor and high spirits, raised his wine cup high, "Master, I owe my success today entirely to your teachings. Let me offer you this toast!"
Qin Fangqiong picked up her wine glass and said calmly, "Your disciple is quite the talker. But your breakthrough was due to your own talent; I didn't teach you anything! Your so-called personal instruction was just talk."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's expression turned slightly awkward. He hadn't had much contact with Master Qin before. Although he had been accepted as a personal disciple, Master Qin hadn't really taught him.
Seeing his disciple holding the wine cup with an embarrassed expression, Master Qin suddenly changed the subject, "But now that you've broken through to the Martial Artist level, you're my true personal disciple! Haha, drink up!"
Master Qin smiled, and everyone at the table immediately laughed along, raising their glasses to drink.
Seeing that Chen Fan seemed a little out of sync, Master Qin put down his wine glass and said directly:
"Those who don't become martial artists are nothing but ants!"
"You're nothing but an ant, not worth my trouble! But now that you've broken through, you're my true personal disciple! And the future core of the martial arts school!"
These words were extremely blunt, even somewhat cold. But the inner disciples present remained expressionless, as if they were self-evident truths.
After speaking, Master Qin's sharp gaze swept over everyone at the table: "Chen Fan has excellent talent and potential, but his family background is too poor. As your junior brother, you all need to do your best to help him!"
Everyone was Qin Fangqiong's disciple. Although some were not her direct disciples, they were closely bound by shared interests and naturally agreed.
Chen Fan, standing to the side, was extremely excited, his hand holding the wine glass trembling.
He knew that he had finally squeezed into this circle!
From this moment on, he was no longer Chen Fan, the wretched man from outside the city!
After several rounds of drinks, Master Qin tapped the table and dropped a bombshell:
"There's another matter. Next year's martial arts examination will be moved forward to spring. This examination is of extraordinary significance. The three major families want to form an enforcement team in the outer city, and the number of positions is limited, so they will all be selected through the martial arts examination!"
"Chen Fan, you've just broken through; this is your chance. You must seize it!"
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's thoughts were in turmoil. What seemed like an ordinary message from Master Qin actually contained a great deal of information and benefits!
An enforcement team formed by the three major families—what are they planning to do?
If we were to truly manage the outer city and the area outside the city, the potential profits would be enormous!
This enforcement team will be an absolutely powerful department, with lucrative positions. It seems that the landscape of Blackrock City is about to change again.
In the corner, Su Yu and Wang Hu ate their food silently, acting like two invisible people.
Xu Feng glanced at the two of them, and taking advantage of Qin Shi's good mood, he seized the opportunity to interject:
"Master, Su Yu and Wang Hu from the outer courtyard have both passed their third attempt at breaking through to become martial artists. Would you... take this opportunity to offer them some guidance?"
Qin Fangqiong glanced at Xu Feng and laughed, scolding, "You crazy Xu, I can tell what kind of shit you're going to take just by the way you stick your butt out! I can't teach you that!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if to say, "I don't understand."
Jiang Liuchuan, standing to the side, immediately snapped his feather fan shut and pointed at Xu Feng, saying, "Master, don't let Xu Feng's thick eyebrows and big eyes fool you; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He just wants you to spend money, haha! I think we should have Xu Feng contribute ten taels of silver to help our two junior brothers with their breakthroughs!"
Teacher Qin immediately slapped his thigh, "Great idea!"
Xu Feng immediately said, "Jiang Liuchuan will also contribute ten taels, Master!"
"better!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
……
The banquet ended, and the cold wind was biting.
Xu Feng stopped Su Yu and Wang Hu, patted them on the shoulder and said, "Master already knows about your situation. Your aptitude is far inferior to Junior Brother Chen's. Without elixirs, your chances of breaking through are probably slim."
"When you return this time, your master will give each of you an Iron Sand Boiling Blood Pill. This pill is helpful for breaking through bottlenecks, and it's rarely available outside, so cherish this opportunity!"
Wang Hu's face lit up with surprise, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Su Yu was also filled with mixed feelings.
Although I don't need this pill, the fact that it was given to me explains a lot.
And perhaps it will also help cover up the unusual nature of his successful breakthrough to martial arts!
