Chapter 6: Benefits from the Martial Union

Returning home, Su Lang began to worry again.

Earning 94 gold coins through work was impossible; it was something that couldn't be achieved even in a lifetime.

He had to think of other ways.

After pondering for a moment, Su Lang had a sudden inspiration and came up with two solutions.

The first was to sell his house!

Although Su Lang's house was ordinary, it was still worth around 20 or 30 gold coins.

Even if he became homeless after selling the house, wouldn't it only take a minute for the system to upgrade and for him to become a higher-level martial artist?

By then, when it came time to buy a house, he wouldn't even give a few acres of land a second glance!

The second method was to go to the Martial Union Hall to collect the primary body tempering allowance.

The Martial Union was established by martial artists a thousand years ago to resist the invasion of ferocious beasts.

It has developed into an official organization today, encompassing all sizes of strongholds and bases with tremendous governing power.

In order to stimulate people to continue practicing to become stronger and resist ferocious beasts to protect their homes, the Martial Union introduced generous benefits for martial artists.

Every ordinary person who advances to the primary body tempering level can receive 10 gold coins as capital for cultivation from the Martial Union.

Moreover, every breakthrough in a small realm allows martial artists to collect an allowance from the Martial Union, with more substantial rewards for higher realms.

For example, advancing from primary body tempering to intermediate body tempering allows one to receive 20 gold coins.

In addition to this, martial artists receive a monthly allowance, although it cannot compare to the amount received for breakthroughs in realms.

"This benefit is really great!"

Su Lang was excited. "First, I'll sell the house, then collect the allowance, and then go check out the Axe Breaker Hunting Group's base in the F-grade Wind Wolf area."

He immediately began to pack his bags.

Because his house was simple and there was nothing valuable to take, Su Lang quickly put on his backpack and left with his Tang knife.

After leaving the neighborhood, Su Lang found a second-hand house buying shop nearby and sold his house for 25 gold coins.

Because the shop was very familiar with Su Lang's neighborhood, they skipped the house inspection process, which was convenient.

With 31 gold coins in his pocket, Su Lang boarded the Spirit Qi bus and headed to the Martial Union building.

After the collapse of the technological tree following the great disaster, the majority of technological products became useless, including traditional automobiles.

Whether gasoline or electric cars, none of them could be used anymore.

However, two thousand years was enough time for humans to develop new modes of transportation—Spirit Qi cars.

However, Spirit Qi cars were extremely expensive, and their operational and maintenance costs were also very high. Even formal martial artists found it difficult to own a private Spirit Qi car.

As for capturing ferocious beasts as mounts?

That was impossible. Countless people had tried over the centuries, but no one had succeeded.

As the Spirit Qi bus continued forward, Su Lang sat in his seat, closely watching the white figure in the One-click Cultivation Space.

Having tasted the sweetness of breakthroughs, Su Lang couldn't bear to take his eyes off the white figure for even a moment.

Half an hour later, the Spirit Qi bus arrived at the Martial Union building.

"So, this is the Martial Union building? Truly majestic!"

Su Lang got off the bus. Despite his broad experience, he was still stunned by the building before him.

This building was like a black crystal cast, extremely tall—several times taller than the Dubai Tower he remembered.

Its footprint was also very vast, completely resembling a giant peak.

The Martial Union building served as the base of the Martial Union, housing various offices, shops, practice rooms, and training chambers.

Su Lang needed to visit the office specifically for collecting allowances.

This office was located on the ground floor, also known as the Martial Union Hall, a spacious and magnificent area filled with splendor.

People were bustling in and out of the hall, with no fewer than a hundred reception windows alone!

These reception windows were divided by level, corresponding to the martial artists seeking services according to their realms.

Higher-level martial artists had the privilege of using lower-level windows first.

In this era where martial strength was revered and power belonged to individuals, privileges were everywhere.

"Window for Body Tempering. Here it is."

Su Lang glanced around and headed left.

Body Tempering was the lowest level for martial artists, and there were many people here to collect their allowances. Long queues had formed in front of each window.
