This former traveling businessman returned home happily and with a full load.
Not only did he take away a batch of gifts that Wang Chen bought for the villagers in Xiaoshi, but he also brought a promise from Shao Hongcheng, the owner of the Hongyi Martial Arts Gym.
Starting next year, Xiaoshi Village will be able to send three teenagers to Hongyi Martial Arts School to practice martial arts every year.
This commitment is valid for ten years.
In other words, Hongyi Martial Arts School will train 30 martial artists for Xiaoshi Village for free!
This is in return for Xiao Shicun sending Wang Chen to the martial arts school.
Two days later, Hongyi Martial Arts School closed its doors for one day.
In the martial arts arena, all members of the martial arts hall, including more than a hundred disciples, gathered in the martial arts arena.
Participate and witness Shao Hongcheng’s apprenticeship ceremony.
Originally, for such a major event, Hongyi Martial Arts School should have spread the celebration widely and invited friends and acquaintances from all over the world to come and watch the ceremony.
But Shao Hongcheng kept a very low profile and only showed it to his family behind closed doors.
Most of the martial arts disciples looked strange.
Because they suddenly have a little junior uncle!
Wang Chen is really too young. It is really unconvincing that a mere teenager has become an elder.
Some people even maliciously speculated that Wang Chen was the illegitimate son of Shao Hongcheng's father?
Otherwise it doesn’t make sense!
Only a few disciples who knew the truth kept silent because they were warned.
But this matter definitely cannot be hidden.
The apprenticeship ceremony was simple yet grand, and Wang Chen officially became a member of Hongyi Martial Arts School.
Afterwards, Shao Hongcheng took him to an underground secret room.
This room is not big, and there are three spiritual tablets and a portrait enshrined in it.
Shao Hongcheng said in a deep voice: "This is the founder of my Wuji Sect, Zhao Wuji!"
Under his guidance, Wang Chen offered incense and prayed to the patriarch, performed a grand ceremony, and finally read the sect rules.
According to Shao Hongcheng, the Wuji Sect has been established for thousands of years. At its peak, it had seven cities, but now he is the only true disciple left, and is only one step away from complete destruction.
In fact, the Wuji Sect is quite lucky, at least it still has a legacy. Many martial arts sects have long since died out.
"Junior brother..."
Shao Hongcheng said sincerely: "Senior brother, my talent is limited and I am destined to be hopeless. The revitalization of Wuji Sect in the future will all depend on you!"
After saying that, he looked relieved, as if a huge burden had been lifted off him.
Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
He is a monk who is half a step into the golden elixir, but he has to shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing a martial arts sect that is almost secular.
It's actually a bit funny.
Wang Chen even suspected that Shao Hongcheng’s purpose of accepting a disciple as a substitute teacher was to take the blame for himself!
Of course, on the surface he still has to say: "You must work hard!"
Shao Hongcheng was very satisfied, then took out a booklet and handed it to him: "This is the true secret of my Wuji Sect..."
The book Shao Hongcheng took out is called "Wuji Xuan Gong", which is a fundamental technique that directly points to the innate world!
Wang Chen got the first volume, and he asked curiously: "Brother, is there anyone stronger than Xiantian?"
"certainly!"
Shao Hongcheng replied without hesitation: "Xiantian is just the pinnacle of our warriors. Above Xiantian is the extraordinary and Taoist. Such beings are called monks!"
Monk!
Wang Chen was shocked.
He quickly asked: "Then have you seen the monk?"
"No."
Shao Hongcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I, a little marrow refining warrior, have the qualifications and opportunity to meet a monk?"
After a pause, he added: "But I saw the monk's methods ten years ago."
There was a look of fear in the eyes of the master of the Hongyi Martial Arts School. He did not continue to speak, but solemnly told Wang Chen: "As long as you advance to Xiantian, you will have the opportunity to see Chaofan and Dao."
Monks, even become one of them."
He smiled: "When the time comes, senior brother, I will have to rely on you for support!"
Wang Chen was modest: "Senior brother, you are serious."
But he did have a strong interest in the transcendent and transcendental realm.
There are obviously great secrets in this world.
However, Wang Chen also knew very well that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he needed to distinguish priorities and not be distracted casually.
Shao Hongcheng pointed to the secret book in Wang Chen's hand and said: "You should study this "Wuji Xuan Gong" carefully first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, but don't lose it."
Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wall next to him, and heard a "rumbling" sound. The stone wall automatically separated to the left and right, revealing a new secret room.
There were dozens of weapons, armors, shields and other martial arts equipment lined up in the secret room, as well as several large boxes.
"This is the entire wealth of our Wuji Sect now."
Shao Hongcheng smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, please pick two to wear for protection."
He introduced to Wang Chen that the weapons commonly used by warriors are also divided into levels, mainly ordinary weapons, superior weapons, mysterious weapons and divine weapons.
The divine weapons among them are weapons refined by monks and possess incredible power.
When Wuji Sect was at its most glorious, it once had two magic weapons, but unfortunately they could not save the sect from decline.
Of the little money that is left now, the best thing is a mysterious weapon.
Of course, this mysterious weapon is currently the treasure of the town and will not be used until the moment of life and death, so all Wang Chen can choose is to use it.
But the soldiers are also very good, much stronger than the ordinary soldiers, and can be used until the innate period!
No matter what he wanted, Wang Chen certainly did not reject this senior brother's kindness. He made a selection in the secret store and finally selected a long knife and a set of bows and arrows.
"Junior brother, you have such good eyesight."
Shao Hongcheng was surprised because the two weapons Wang Chen chose were top-quality weapons from Shangbing.
Wang Chen smiled and said nothing.
He is a master refiner who can refine magic weapons. Even if he no longer has any magic power, he still has good eyesight.
After choosing the weapon, Shao Hongcheng gave Wang Chen another bag of jade coins.
Jade coins are a higher-grade currency than bone coins. The exchange ratio between the two is ten to one. This bag of one hundred coins is enough for Wang Chen's daily expenses.
But the biggest benefit of becoming Shao Hongcheng's junior disciple is not these two. The most important thing is that Wang Chen can get the same resource allocation as Shao Hongcheng in the future.
High-quality ferocious beast meat, medicinal soup to assist cultivation, etc.
However, these benefits are not for nothing for Wang Chen. At the end of the year, he needs to represent Hongyi Martial Arts School in the Battle of 100 Gyms in Red Cliff City and win at least three games!
Chibi City holds a martial arts competition every year, and all martial arts gyms must send representatives to participate and be ranked according to the number of wins and losses.
The three martial arts schools ranked at the bottom will be completely eliminated.
It can no longer be opened in the future.
Due to the lack of disciples of Hongyi Martial Arts School in recent years, and Shao Hongcheng, as the owner of the gym, unable to participate in person, the results are quite dismal and there is a great risk of falling to the bottom.
