Chapter 83: Bottleneck in Cultivation & Punching Spirit's Divine Thoughts

He had already been back from Ningzhou City for half a year.
Within the half a year, he used the money that Wen Huayang gave him to purchase a small courtyard in Qinlingjun City, as instructed by his teacher Xu Yong.
This world was very realistic. Like him, now he was the Wu's inner core disciple and had a certain position within the Wu's. As compared to those inner core disciples, or the outer core discipless, it was much better. However, this also could be compared the other way.
Every month the monthly stipend was only a few money. It was enough for a small kid like him. However, as he grew older he would need more.
There were many missions for the disciples to execute. On one hand, it could train them. On the other hand, it could enable them to earn more money. However, in the final analysis, it was working for someone else. As for the normal inner core disciples, it could be so. However, for vital inner core disciples like him, the road seemed to be a bit narrow.
Furthermore, there were many inner core disciples from rich families. Outside of the Wu Family, they had a lot of estates.
If he didn't make preparations for himself, he would just be an Elder like Xu Yong in the future. He would just be a very good thug merely. Who knew in the future if there was a life and death battle, he would even be thrown out as cannon fodder. That was not the ending that he wanted.
Although he did not want to be rich, nor did he wish for the power to rule the world.
However, at least he must live safe and have a comfortable life. In this case, he needed his own estates.
As for this point, the Wu Family didn't reject it. In fact, they were happy to see that their own family members having a new influence emerge.
With every additional strength, the Wu's strength would also correspondingly increase.
Just like the Tian Long Taoism, for the Wu Family which was born from the Tian Long Taoism's power, they would naturally support it without reserve. Because when the Wu Family became stronger, it was equivalent to the Tian Long Taoism becoming stronger. The same for the Wu Family, under the power of it, there existed many smaller well-known families and influences. When they strengthened, so did the Wu Family.
As for those small influences underneath the big influences expanding, becoming stronger, would they betray the main family? That didn't need to be worried about.
Easier said than done!
Building an influence from the beginning to prosperity usually needed an accumulation of work from a few generations. Just like the Wu Family, after developing for 500-600 years, it still had developed until this stage with the helping of Tian Long Taoism. Junior Leopard was a bumpkin coming from a mountain village, serving under the Wu's. How could he build an influence that would threaten the Wu's?
Furthermore, Junior Leopard was not building an influence. He was only buying a few estates, merely leaving a backup plan. That was natural for humans to do so.
As such, Junior Leopard bought a courtyard, and settled down here. After buying this small courtyard, he only lived here for a few days sometimes. Most of the time, he still practiced the martial arts skills in the Wu Family, and listened to Xu Yong's guidance.
After all he was still the Wu's core disciple who hadn't finished his apprenticeship.
These few days, Xu Yong once again began to forge weapons, staying within the Wu's smelting chamber all the time. Junior Leopard had nothing to do here. Therefore, he came to the courtyard which he arranged for himself and stayed for a few days.
This courtyard, apart from him, there was only an old servant, Old Cang.
This courtyard which he bought in Qinlingjun City was considered slightly far from the city center. Originally, it belonged to a merchant. But the merchant was losing money. He could only sell his property to pay off the debts. Junior Leopard saw that it was peaceful here, so he decided to buy this place.
Old Cang was originally that merchant's servant. Without son and daughter, after this merchant sold the courtyard, he had nowhere to go. Junior Leopard saw that he was old and familiar with the surroundings, so he kept him to take care of the courtyard in his stead. The few times that Junior Leopard came here, he found that this courtyard was cleaned. Even though the servant was old, he had nimble hands. The dishes he cooked were good. Hence, Junior Leopard was extremely satisfied.

One punch, one kick
The figure moved slowly and silently in a small room, making no sound.
His fists were tightly clenched from the beginning until the end. There were moments it was raised, and moments it was down. Sometimes it moved forward, and sometimes it retreated.
Every fist would leave a semi-circle route in the air, floating, seemingly far. It was as steady as a mountain, as quiet as an abyss!
Every time the ground beneath his feet would follow his stamp, as if there was an earthquake.
Every movement was so clear and perfect!
Following the display of his fist trend, a kind of quaint, desolate fist intent followed his movement and permeated through the small room.
