After hearing the treatment mentioned by Tian Hu, Lin Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue.
Three taels of silver per month, plus 20 catties of Rock Sheep meat, a regular Disciple of the Hunter's Hall could earn rewards worth five taels of silver in a month.
This was truly unimaginable in Waguan Street; a month in the Hunting Beast Hall was equivalent to him working hard for half a year in the Slaughterhouse, and there were also martial arts techniques he could Cultivate.
"Of course, besides these, you are also truly qualified to receive martial arts instruction."
Seeing the change in expression on Lin Sheng's face, Tian Hu had a smile on his face, and while speaking, he took out a small booklet from his pocket.
"The Raging Bull Fist is one of the basic martial arts of our Zhenshan Tower. It has unique aspects in strength training. Although it is only a third-rate martial art, cultivating it to Perfection can allow you to step into the Forging Tendons Realm."
Lin Sheng took the booklet, flipped through it briefly, and felt a little disappointed. It was simply because the booklet only recorded the method for cultivating the Raging Bull Fist to minor completion.
Immediately, he couldn't help but ask.
"Captain Tian, is this just the method for cultivating to minor completion? What about the cultivation method after that..."
Hearing this, Tian Hu's brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.
"The Raging Bull Fist at minor completion is enough for you to Cultivate. Once you successfully get started and officially step into the Body Tempering Realm, the subsequent cultivation methods will naturally be taught to you."
After speaking, Tian Hu patted Lin Sheng's shoulder again and spoke with a look of instruction.
"The path of martial arts requires steady progress. Do not aim too high too quickly, otherwise, even if you have some talent, it will be extremely difficult to achieve anything."
In his opinion, Lin Sheng came from poverty and had decent talent. If it were a regular newly joined Hunting Beast Hall Disciple, he would have definitely started reprimanding the other party.
"Lin Sheng understands."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng already understood in his heart that getting the subsequent cultivation for the Raging Bull Fist would not be easy. He could only sigh inwardly and respectfully nod in agreement.
"Alright, you go down and change clothes first. Someone will take you to the station later."
Tian Hu beckoned and called a guard from the hall to take Lin Sheng to collect clothing and other miscellaneous items.

Meanwhile, on the other side.
Waguan Street.
In a courtyard covering a considerable area, quite rare in a place like Waguan Street, more than ten people were standing within.
A middle-aged, gloomy-faced, bearded man was squatting on the ground, staring motionlessly at a corpse covered with a white cloth.
After a while, the bearded man finally reached out and slowly pulled up the white cloth, seemingly unable to believe or face it.
Finally, as the white cloth was pulled back, the head beneath was revealed.
When the bearded man saw the head that was no longer recognizable from its original appearance, and was even disfigured, his hand holding the white cloth clenched tightly, emitting sounds of grinding bones.
Only when the white cloth was completely lifted did he recognize the corpse from its build and clothing as none other than his dear younger brother.
The bearded man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then covered the corpse with the white cloth again. Only then did he stand up, his gaze extremely cold, revealing a chilling murderous intent in his eyes as his sight swept over the Ya Gang members standing in the courtyard one by one.
The group immediately lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. Most of them were Liu Yuanshan's trusted followers and were very aware of the Second Master's morbid doting and affection for his younger brother. Now that his own brother was in this state, there was no need to think about how Liu Yuanshan was feeling at this moment.
Thinking again of Liu Yuanshan's usual brutal nature, if they were to provoke him at this moment, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
"Tell me about the killer you saw. Tell me everything, don't hide anything."
The bearded man, Liu Yuanshan, spoke slowly.
The Ya Gang members exchanged glances, and immediately someone spoke.
"The killers were two men in black. Their movements were quite agile, able to escape under crossbow bolts. Both of them should be Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists."
Speaking up to this point, the gang members did not continue. The truth was, this was all the information they had.
"Is that all?! A bunch of useless people."
Liu Yuanshan spoke coldly. Before the others could react, his figure was already in front of the gang member who had just spoken. With one hand, he grabbed the gang member's neck and lifted him up.
The gang member's face instantly turned red, and he had difficulty breathing. He quickly replied with difficulty.
"One... One of the men in black was hit by an arrow. This subordinate... this subordinate has already sent people to guard the city gates and keep watch..."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanshan still had no intention of letting go. Instead, he kept tightening his grip on the other party's neck until a chilling sound of bones breaking came from the neck of the unfortunate gang member.
Only then did Liu Yuanshan release his hand, while the Ya Gang member's body had already gone limp, and a large amount of blood flowed from his mouth and nose, clearly having lost all signs of life.
"Send people to watch all the pharmacies in the city. If you see anyone suspicious, capture them immediately. If you useless people can't find the killers, then go down and accompany my younger brother... Also, find everyone who has had a conflict with my younger brother during this period. I mean anyone!"
A cold and distorted voice came from Liu Yuanshan's mouth. The Ya Gang members quickly responded and then hurried away, not daring to stay there for another second, fearing they would become the next unfortunate soul.
Soon, only Liu Yuanshan was left in the courtyard.
He quietly looked at Liu Ergou's corpse and murmured.
"Don't worry, younger brother. No matter who it is, your elder brother will definitely find the killer for you and make their entire family buried with you..."
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his brows furrowed as he turned his head to look sideways.
"Who?"
At some point, an extra figure appeared in the courtyard. This was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with prominent cheekbones and a ferocious saber scar running from top to bottom on his cheek.
"Gang Leader!"
Seeing the tall, thin man, the distorted grief on Liu Yuanshan's face subsided somewhat, and he cupped his hands in a salute.
That's right, this tall, thin man was none other than the Ya Gang Leader, Meng Hongsheng.
"I already know about the matter. Don't worry, there will be an explanation for this."
Meng Hongsheng's gaze swept over the corpses of the Ya Gang members on the ground. He spoke indifferently, then went directly to Liu Ergou's corpse, pulled back the red cloth, and paused his gaze on his body, especially the severely injured head. Afterwards, he examined the other corpses one by one.
"Gang Leader, can you see anything?"
Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but speak. Although they were both in the Forging Tendons Realm, he understood the gap between himself and the other party. Whether in terms of strength or perspective and experience, the other party was much stronger than him.
Especially since Meng Hongsheng, in addition to being a Martial Artist, was also skilled in medicine. Perhaps he could discern something from the corpses.
"The attacker was the same person. Their strength is very great, and their power should be among the upper ranks in the Body Tempering Realm. However, their attacks had no discernible pattern, making it impossible to tell their specific technique. Of course, it could also have been done deliberately."
"Hmm."
Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his nostrils twitched as if he smelled something. He leaned close to Liu Ergou's corpse and began to sniff carefully.
"This is... the smell of fish fat grass..."
After a while, he seemed to think of something and murmured.
He was indeed skilled in medicine, and exceptionally talented. His sense of smell was naturally much stronger than ordinary people. At this moment, he had already determined what the unknown smell on Liu Ergou's body was.
