Free Web NovelChapter 201: Chapter 132: The Way of Jinshi, Senior-Level Potion
He had, of course, heard of Celestial Brocade Bone-Strengthening Ointment. Even the Celestial Brocade Ointment company only produced around a hundred portions a month, and it was impossible to buy on the open market.
Occasionally, some would circulate on the black market, but a single tube cost at least one hundred thousand yuan.
Other Senior-Level Nutritional Potions of the same grade were much the same. They were regarded as critical resources by major corporations and government agencies, with only internal personnel having the qualifications to access and redeem them.
In addition, the price of High-Level Exotic Beast Meat was not cheap either, especially the parts containing Life Essence, which cost at least a thousand yuan per kilogram.
All told, the sponsorship he was being offered was a considerable sum.
"Thank you, Master Luo."
Lu Chao cupped his fists solemnly and spoke with gratitude.
He desperately needed this kind of support, especially after reaching the Elite Level.
"Heh."
But with a faint, teasing smile, Luo Qianshan took the rare opportunity to joke, "What should you be calling me?"
The cultivation method was passed on, the Martial Skill taught.
All the resources for his training were provided...
Suddenly, it dawned on Lu Chao.
In substance, they already had a true master-disciple relationship; it had just never been made public due to the pressure from the Thunder Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
And now...
His expression turned solemn. He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Master!"
"Haha."
Luo Qianshan let out a rare, hearty laugh, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out a little.
Nodding, he raised a hand, gesturing for Lu Chao to rise.
The smile didn’t leave his aged face beneath the full head of white hair. He looked Lu Chao up and down once more before saying, "I’m not one for pomp and circumstance. Let’s keep things simple."
"From now on, you are my Closed-door Disciple. Whatever you need, whatever questions you have, don’t hesitate to come to me."
His voice was even and tinged with age.
But Lu Chao heard the promise in it.
As long as Luo Qianshan was around, a Superpower Level Martial Artist would always have his back.
Although this made him an enemy of the Thunder Extreme Martial Arts Hall, he wasn’t too worried.
At the very least, with Master Luo’s presence, not even Lei Wanjun would dare to move against him openly. It was just as it had been with Shen Tianchen, who had only been able to act through others. In many matters, one had to abide by the rules.
"Thank you, Master!"
Pushing aside his stray thoughts, Lu Chao nodded his thanks and committed his master’s words to heart.
Then, after receiving a few final words of instruction, he left the backyard.
Zheng Wu had already been taken away to have his injuries treated. First Senior Brother Luo Yan had even ordered someone to prepare a new set of white training clothes for him, and they were a perfect fit.
After changing into his new attire, Lu Chao walked out of the training hall to a chorus of admiring and respectful greetings.
The gloom of the past days was gone from every disciple’s face. Flushed with excitement, they were still buzzing about what had happened, their clenched fists expressing their sheer delight.
What’s more, the reporter from the Ring Daily hadn’t left. The young woman holding the microphone was none other than the same person who had visited the boxing hall before, and she was still waiting near the training grounds.
As soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up.
The young reporter quickly pushed through the crowd, rushing breathlessly to stand before Lu Chao.
Thrusting the microphone forward, her tone had completely changed from her previous skepticism. Now, it was filled with admiration and curiosity. "M-Mr. Lu Chao."
"May I ask for your thoughts on today’s sparring match?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the disciples who had been about to step in and block her all perked up their ears, turning to look at Lu Chao with faces full of anticipation and reverence.
For a moment, a gentle breeze blew past, rustling his white robes.
Lu Chao paused and smiled serenely.
He said nothing more. The earlier match had already proven his strength.
And now.
He pointed toward the entrance of the boxing hall.
The female reporter was taken aback for a second. The cameraman recording the scene panned his camera to follow the gesture.
A plaque hung on the iron gate of the abandoned school.
It had golden characters on a blue background, giving it a rather classical feel.
It had weathered many storms but remained standing strong.
The crowd stared blankly for a moment before understanding dawned.
Their eyes focused on the plaque, where three words seemed to shine with a brilliant light.
Jinshi Boxing Hall!
