I Have A Martial Arts Panel

“Miss Han Yue.”

Xu Ning found Han Yue.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu?”

Han Yue was a little surprised when she saw Xu Ning.

Normally, Xu Ning rarely communicated with her.

“I have a request.”

Xu Ning explained his intentions, “I want to advance a portion of my monthly salary. I don’t know if that’s okay?”

Xu Ning wanted to buy some spirit medicines, but he was really struggling financially.

The money he used to stay in the hotel was from the bodies of the pursuing guards.

After his money was spent on the hotel and on normal expenses, Xu Ning had no more money left.

Although Han Huxiao was not in the martial arts hall at the moment, even when he was there, Han Yue basically handled all matters in the martial arts hall. She was regarded as the treasurer of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.

Han Yue was taken aback when she heard Xu Ning’s words.

She never expected that Xu Ning would be short of money.

Even if a martial artist spent a lot of money, a martial artist of the state mind realm should not be asking for their salary in advance.

“Of course.”

However, although Han Yue had doubts in her heart, she reacted extremely quickly.

With almost no hesitation, Han Yue said, “Thirty taels of gold, I will get it for you now.”

“Thank you very much.”

Seeing that Han Yue agreed so easily, Xu Ning thanked her.

Soon, Han Yue took a wad of gold notes and placed them in Xu Ning’s hands.

Xu Ning received the gold notes and stared at them carefully.

The gold notes were similar to the silver notes in State Feiyun, printed with the amount and logo.

The credit endorser on the logo was Luxing Bank.

After spending a few days in Chun Rin Canton, Xu Ning already knew that this bank was the most influential bank in the southern part of State Jifeng.

Because the world here was chaotic, it was too dangerous for caravans to carry a large amount of gold and silver, so when they went out, they would use these gold and silver notes issued from the banks.

This bank had a profound background, and a lot of people recognized it.

After receiving the gold notes, Xu Ning went to the shops in the canton city.

…

Less than a hundred meters away from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.

Xu Ning saw a man wearing a long-sleeved shirt greeting him.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu.”

The man walked up to Xu Ning and cupped his fists in a humble manner.

“And you are?”

Xu Ning did not recognize this person.

“I am an instructor from the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall.”

The man in a battle outfit stated his identity.

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

A few days ago, he had just defeated Tie Guanxiong, which in turn also damaged the reputation of the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall.

If it weren’t for the other party’s modest attitude, Xu Ning would think that the other party was here to seek revenge.

“May I ask why you are looking for me?”

Xu Ning asked.

Xu Ning went straight to the point.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu, our deputy hall master wants to see you. I hope you can come to the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall.”

The man in the battle outfit invited Xu Ning.

“Go there?”

Xu Ning waved his hand. “Let’s talk about it next time, I’m busy right now.”

Xu Ning wasn’t worried that he would be blackmailed if he went there. He just didn’t think it was necessary right now.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu.”

Seeing that Xu Ning was about to leave, the man in the battle outfit quickly said, “Our master wants you to join the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall, and your monthly salary will be 50 gold taels.”

The visitor directly explained his intentions.

Xu Ning smiled when he heard this.

‘Poach me if you can’t defeat me?’

Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall was poaching him in broad daylight.

“Fifty gold taels, your hall master is quite generous.”

However, Xu Ning still rejected the kindness of the visitor. “But I embarrassed your martial arts hall a few days ago, and Tie Guanxiong, the deputy hall master of your martial arts hall, may still have some resentment in his heart, so I’m good.”

Although he rejected the offer, Xu Ning was tempted by the monthly payment of 50 taels of gold.

But he had just taken an advanced payment of his salary from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, so going to the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall immediately afterwards wouldn’t feel right.

Xu Ning had another thought.

Since the Fierce Metal Martial Arts Hall was willing to come to him, then other martial arts halls, or even other martial arts organizations might also come to him.

The salary they would offer might even be higher.

If the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall knew that someone came to poach him, they would definitely raise his monthly salary.

In any case, it was definitely not a wise choice to jump ship right now.

“Deputy Hall Master Xu…”

The man in the battle outfit still didn’t give up, but Xu Ning didn’t plan to talk with him anymore.

After Xu Ning left, he went directly to the surrounding stores.

In order to test which substance was more beneficial for the Thousand Source Bug to discharge high-quality Aura Crystals, Xu Ning bought a bunch of spirit medicines.

Although these spirit medicines were not high-quality goods, he bought dozens of varieties, which cost Xu Ning nearly twelve taels of gold.

In addition to this, Xu Ning spent 20 taels of gold on cost-effective spirit medicine.

According to Xu Ning’s calculations, the spirit medicines purchased with these 20 taels of gold would provide him at least 25 units of energy.

After shopping, Xu Ning was stopped again on the way back to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.

People from other martial arts halls wanted to poach Xu Ning.

But Xu Ning still declined.

He should not rush a matter like this. Even if he wanted to jump ship, he should wait to hear all his offers.

Xu Ning returned to his room.

After putting down his purchased goods, Xu Ning took out the Thousand Source Bug from the hidden buckle compartment he was wearing and put it on the table.

Xu Ning was concerned about this Thousand Source Bug, so he always carried it with him.

Thousand Source Bugs were already precious, but this Thousand Source Bug seemed to be even more precious than other Thousand Source Bugs.

It was his most stable source of energy, so he had to protect it dearly.

‘Let’s see what you like to eat.’

Xu Ning poked the fat bug in the stomach. He then brought a piece of green fluorescent ore to its side.

After sensing the green fluorescent ore, the fat white bug began to squirm. After touching the surface of the green ore, it kept rubbing its body against it.

But soon after, the fat worm squirmed off from the surface of the ore.

Obviously, the white fat bug was not interested in the green ore.

But Xu Ning was not discouraged, he continued with his experiment.

After nearly an hour, Xu Ning finally tested all of the spirit medicine he had purchased.

Based on the results, Xu Ning came to a conclusion.

This fat white bug was completely uninterested in spirit medicine, and there were only four mineral ores that the fat white bug desired to eat.

‘I’ll let the Thousand Source Bug devour these four kinds of ores separately, to see which of them can make it produce the highest-quality Aura Crystals.’

Xu Ning thought in his head.

After the experiment, Xu Ning placed a piece of pure white ore together with Thousand Source Bug into the hidden compartment.

After that, he began to absorb the energy in the spirit medicines he had bought.

Soon, Xu Ning absorbed all of the spirit medicines.

Xu Ning didn’t waste the spirit medicines that were rejected by the Thousand Source Bug.

This provided Xu Ning with 31 units of energy.

Combined with the previous 14 units of energy, Xu Ning’s total energy reserves came to 45 units.

45 units of energy was not a lot for Xu Ning.

Because if he wanted to advance from the mortal realm seventh stage to the mortal realm eighth stage, Xu Ning would need 200 units of energy.

However, although 200 units looked like a ton, considering Xu Ning’s efficient ability to obtain resources, it would only take a few months to save up 200 units.

Most warriors in this world could never imagine reaching the intention realm in just a few months.

“Compared to Kangyun County, Chun Rin Canton has much more opportunities and resources.”

Xu Ning realized how much the size of the martial arts community influenced the martial art scene.

The better the development of martial arts, the more opportunities and resources for martial artists there would be. The weaker the development of martial arts, the less resources for martial artists would be.

‘If I were brought into the Source Faction, it would be even easier for me to advance.’

Xu Ning felt unfortunate.

However, Xu Ning quickly adjusted his mood and began to deal with the leftover spirit medicine scraps.

Just after Xu Ning finished cleaning up the residue of the spirit medicines, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside.

“The hall master is back, come!”

There was a hint of anxiety in this voice.
