Chapter 31 The Talent for Running Away, Suspicion of Being in Charge

Bu Che circulated his qi and blood with all his might, using the Hunyuan Step to run, and when he arrived at the foot of Tianmu City.

With another year of diligent effort, Hunyuan Step completed the initial learning stage.

He's truly a genius when it comes to running away!

[Hun Yuan Bu (Rank 9) Minor Success (0/5)]

……

Bu Che was shrouded in a black robe, in a very good mood. His leg muscles were taut, and the veins were bulging, indicating that his leg muscles were transforming and growing stronger.

"Diligence... it really doesn't last long. The more than ten years of diligence that Senior Sister Qiuya obtained and transformed has been mostly used up in the blink of an eye."

Bu Che sighed.

I deeply feel the lack of diligence. It's a pity that the porcelain statues of the gods in the Broken Porcelain Workshop cannot be broken easily. Otherwise, it would be possible to quickly complete the cooling of multiple types of diligence and recruit more diligent people to gain diligence...

Bu Che couldn't even imagine how awesome that would be!

"So... we still need to find a chance to go to that black market for ghost porcelain, at least to find out how to source ghost and god porcelain statues!"

Bu Che narrowed his eyes, pondering in his mind. However, if he wanted to go to the black market, he would at least have to wait until the "Shadow Serpent" trait of the Dao Seed Fishing for the Heart was cooled down.

The Shadow Serpent ability, combined with his ability to escape, is the true combination for survival.

[Taoist Seed Cooldown: Frequent Seed Planting (5 days), Fishing for a Snake's Heart (1 day)]

[Remaining Diligence: Eight Years]

……

Bu Che glanced at the slowly dimming panel, only eight years of diligence remained... It seemed like he couldn't do anything!

To complete the minor stage of Xue Family Qi and Blood Gong, one needs fifteen years of diligent practice.

The same principle applies to the Battle Body Fist and Hammer Technique. Because of its high rank, the Blood Porcelain Qi Elixir Technique requires fifteen years of diligent effort just to complete the minor success stage...

In these eight years of diligent effort, the only thing I could improve was the Hunyuan Step, a ninth-grade footwork technique.

"It's not enough, not nearly enough..."

Seeing his diligence gradually diminish, Bu Che felt deeply anxious.

Upon entering Tianmu City, Bu Che did not return to the apprentice's courtyard, but went directly to the Xue family mansion and headed to the Xue family's broken porcelain workshop.

In the training ground, Xue Qing from the Porcelain Medicine Workshop was distributing Boiling Blood Porcelain Powder to his apprentices. Bu Che took the opportunity to line up and receive a dose.

Although we are rich now, we should still save where we can and spend where we can. We can't waste the free Boiling Blood Porcelain Powder.

He swallowed the medicine with boiling water, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his body. He then began practicing his Battle Body Fist and Hammer techniques in the training ground.

No one cared whether Bu Che returned to the apprentice courtyard last night, nor did anyone question him about where he had gone. The apprentices' fates were never of concern to anyone.

As usual, Bu Che practiced his Battle Body Fist and Hammer techniques without any disturbance.

Because the Battle Body Fist and Hammer technique has now reached a minor level of mastery, the difficulty of cultivation is also increasing. In just one morning of cultivation, Bu Che has completed the blessing of a year's worth of Diligence.

It was only with the help of the Boiling Blood Porcelain Powder that it was barely completed.

"Martial arts aptitude... Shi Du's martial arts aptitude is indeed too poor."

Bu Che was drenched in sweat when he finished his training, gritting his teeth with some resentment.

"Methods to improve martial arts foundation... I wonder if they're available on the black market."

Bu Che pinned his hopes on the black market, but he also knew that since the Ghost Porcelain Black Market was called a black market, it was certainly not a safe place.

Therefore, if you go to the black market, you must be fully prepared.

While pondering, I arrived at the Broken Porcelain Courtyard.

"Brother Che!"

As soon as Bu Che entered the Broken Porcelain Courtyard, a warm shout interrupted his thoughts.

It was none other than Tang Sang, whom he had introduced to the sect yesterday and who had been taken in as a personal disciple by Old Master Zhou.

Tang Sang saw Bu Che's incredible enthusiasm and greeted him warmly.

"One cannot hit a smiling face." Bu Che nodded with a gentle smile on his face. Before Tang Sang, who was all smiles, could say anything, he interrupted her and went to the inner courtyard to find Senior Brother Kong Ci, saying that he wanted to break the porcelain.

"Ah Che, where did you go yesterday? I heard from Junior Sister Qiu Ya that you came to Broken Porcelain very early yesterday and then left?" Kong Ci asked.

Bu Che quickly recited the prepared words, saying that he had gone back to his hometown, Xiali Village.

"I see. Ah Che, your household registration is still in Xia Li Village. Do you want to transfer it here? Although you are not a formal employee now, as a disciple of Master Zhou, changing your household registration is not a problem."

"If you need it, I'll have someone arrange it."

Kong Ci said.

Upon hearing this, Bu Che's face lit up with joy: "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Kong Ci."

"It's nothing. After all, you've been accepted as a disciple by Master Zhou, and we're from the same sect. This little thing is nothing to worry about."

"After your household registration is transferred, go find Steward Xue, and he will help you resolve the follow-up issues."

"By the way, come to the workshop early tomorrow. Master Zhou will be teaching the disciples in the inner courtyard. This will be your first formal meeting with the inner courtyard disciples. Pick out some clean clothes." Kong Ci smiled and patted Bu Che's shoulder, giving him some advice.

Upon hearing this, Bu Che quickly nodded solemnly and agreed.

I didn't stay at the broken porcelain workshop for long. After all, Kong Ci was watching over it and wouldn't allow any more broken porcelain statues, so there was no point in staying.

Before leaving the Broken Porcelain Courtyard, Bu Che glanced at Tang Sang, who was chatting enthusiastically with every apprentice in the Broken Porcelain Workshop.

Seemingly seeing Bu Che about to leave, Tang Sang raised her hand and waved with a bright, sunny smile on her face.

Bu Che nodded slightly, ignored him, and strode away.

After leaving the Xue family mansion, the wind and snow howled and raged, and snowflakes fell on his shoulders. Bu Che looked up at the sky and strolled along Saili Street. When he passed the restaurant, he felt a little melancholy.

But after thinking about it, I still went into the restaurant and ordered beef and yellow wine as usual.

However, this time Bu Che wanted two catties of beef, which he could afford now.

The shopkeeper recognized Bu Che and said with a sigh, "Sir, Little Liu is dead. I heard you left a silver coin for Widow Wang to settle Little Liu's affairs. Little Liu didn't have a household registration in Tianmu City, so I'm afraid most of that silver coin was embezzled by that widow..."

Bu Che took a sip of wine, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

The waiter paused, then sighed deeply: "You are a very generous gentleman."

Afterwards, he personally cut the beef for Bu Che, poured him some wine, and left to continue his work.

After eating beef and drinking wine, his stomach began to churn as he digested his food. Bu Che left the restaurant and returned to the apprentices' courtyard.

As soon as I returned to the apprentices' quarters, I saw Steward Liu standing with his hands behind his back, taking a walk in the snow.

Bu Che quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed in greeting.

"Old Zhou said... you're being plagued by evil thoughts and are facing a seven-day ordeal? How many days do you have left?"

Manager Liu, his back hunched, asked indifferently.

Bu Che replied truthfully, "Two more days."

"Oh, then on the day of the calamity, do not return to the courtyard. Find a place to settle things yourself," said Steward Liu.

Bu Che paused for a moment. Was he really that disgusted?

Seemingly sensing Bu Che's thoughts, Steward Liu smiled and said, "It's not that I dislike you, young man, but I'm afraid that the appearance of evil thoughts from ghosts and spirits will affect the ghost and spirit thoughts that I'm suppressing within me..."

Upon hearing this, Bu Che was startled.

Suppressing the thoughts of ghosts and gods within the body?

The person capable of such abilities, Manager Liu... is probably a true demonic martial artist!

He must be a powerful being who has unlocked the four gates of body refinement!

"If you die, fine. But if you come back alive... I'll make it up to you, how about it?"

Manager Liu spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone indifferent.

Bu Che quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "No compensation is needed. Since my misfortune will implicate Steward Liu, I will absolutely not set foot in the courtyard the day after tomorrow."

"I said I would give compensation, and I will. I don't like being refused." Manager Liu glanced at Bu Che, snorted, and slowly turned and left.

He scratched his head. "There are really people who just love giving gifts to others..."

Bu Che shook his head, not caring much, and turned back to Room Seventeen.

Inside Room Seventeen, everything remained the same, with a pungent odor of sweat, foot odor, and all sorts of other unpleasant smells assaulting the senses.

Bu Che frowned slightly, returned to his bed, tidied up briefly, and poured out a Qi and Blood Porcelain Pill. His stomach wall writhed, shattering the pill's coating, and the medicinal properties erupted. He then began cultivating the Blood Porcelain Qi Pill Technique.

Perhaps because he had only just begun practicing the Blood Porcelain Qi and Blood Technique, his cultivation speed had already slowed down.

After struggling through three cycles of energy in one night, finally completing the blessing of a year's worth of diligence, Bu Che felt mentally exhausted and stopped, lying down on his warm bed and falling into a deep sleep.

midnight.

While Bu Che was fast asleep, he felt a strange tremor in his brow, which was bulging.

He sensed that there seemed to be someone standing beside his bed, staring straight at him.

The next moment, every hair on my body stood on end!

There really are people there!
