Lin Zheyu did not stay at Baihualou for long and left after paying the bill.
After leaving Baihua Building, he visited several drug stores and spent two hundred and eighteen taels of silver to buy fifteen sets of medicinal materials for Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.
The price was so expensive that it made him feel a little pained.
Compared with grains, oils, rice and noodles, the price increase of medicinal materials is even more alarming, with the average price of each pair of medicinal materials rising to nearly fifteen taels.
Carrying the medicinal materials back to his small courtyard, he put the medicinal materials in a hidden compartment and hid them.
Now that he has the medicinal materials, if he sells the jewelry, many poisonous powders, and hidden weapons later in the year, he will have about ten more medicinal materials, which will be enough for him to use for a while.
What is lacking now is source power.
However, the acquisition of source power is very stable. It takes an average of four days for his energy and spirit to return to its peak, and he can break through the mental and physical limits to obtain source power.
Breaking through the limits is not only a physical limit, but also a mental limit.
The process of breaking through the limits is a process of challenging oneself and surpassing oneself.
Every time you break through the limit, it is a double test of the body and spirit, which causes great damage to the body and spirit.
The body can recover quickly by eating a lot of meat nutrients and using medicinal soup to help it recover.
The spirit can only be restored naturally every day, and it takes four days to return to its peak, which limits the speed of obtaining source power.
Xiu Xiu Xi——
In the yard, there was the sound of a blade splitting the air.
Lin Zheyu held the sword and began to practice the Liuhe sword technique. The whole yard was filled with cold light.
The body moves quickly, and the Jin Yan Gong combined with the Liuhe sword technique makes the sword technique more dexterous and elegant, and the power is increased.
As the Man Niu Fist has been improved to perfection, the bones of a pair of arms have reached the level of forging bones like iron, and the internal organs have also reached perfection.
As long as your understanding of the Liuhe sword technique is improved, you will soon be able to reach the state of perfection.
Lin Zheyu was immersed in the Liuhe sword technique.
After the guidance of his senior brother, his sword skills have improved a lot, and he is not far from Xiaocheng.
After practicing for more than an hour, he stopped breathing heavily.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:0
Skills:
Man Niu Fist (Perfect)
Jin Yan Gong (4th level 67%)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 1%)
Liuhe Knife (88% proficiency)
"There is a difference between having someone give you guidance and practicing hard on your own. After my senior brother's guidance, my swordsmanship level has improved rapidly."
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and said.
The proficiency of the Liuhe Sword suddenly increased by 40 to 50%, and it is not far away from Xiaocheng.
However, the principle of Turtle Breath has always remained at one percent level.
The further you go to the back of the Turtle Breathing Technique, the more difficult it becomes to practice.
Without seven, eight, or even ten years of painstaking study, it would be difficult to reach the third level of perfection.
After reaching the third level of perfection, you can perfectly hide your strength even in front of masters at the martial arts master level.
To develop such terrifying body control ability in front of a master is extremely difficult and beyond imagination.
After stretching his muscles and washing himself, Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged on the bed early in the morning.
As he tried during this period, he found that the time before going to bed and after waking up was the most efficient in practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique.
Moreover, using the Turtle Breathing Technique at full strength to enter sleep can allow him to enter a deep state of sleep, which is helpful for mental recovery.
……
The next morning.
Xing Family Neiyang Mansion.
This is Xing Jinglong’s home.
It's the end of the year, it's very lively outside, and firecrackers are everywhere.
The Neiyang Mansion was covered with white silk ribbons, and cries of extreme grief could be heard from inside.
A middle-aged woman lay in front of the coffin and cried so hard that her whole body trembled: "Long'er, my Long'er, how can you be so cruel and leave your mother alone?"
"Long'er, you died so miserably, you can't even find your body, wuwu..."
Listening to his mother's cries, Xing Jing'an clenched his fists and his face was extremely gloomy.
Xing Jinglong is his half-brother. Among his father’s dozen children, he and Xing Jinglong have the best relationship.
"Dad, how is your investigation going? Do you have any clues?"
Xing Jing'an asked the middle-aged man beside him.
The man is as strong as Xing Jinglong, with a beard, and his eyes are as bright as copper bells.
He is the father of brothers Xing Jinglong and Xing Jing'an, and his name is Xing Zhiyuan.
The Xing Zhiyuan lineage is a collateral line in the Xing family. He ranks thirteenth among his peers.
His talent in martial arts is quite good, and he has practiced to the peak level of Zang Refining Realm, which makes him outstanding among his peers.
It's a pity that after spending a lifetime in the city guard, using the military formations to hone one's spirit and gain insights into blood energy, I still haven't been able to break through to the level of energy and blood realm.
"No, the person who did it was very clean and left no traces."
Xing Zhiyuan said in a low voice, with a very ugly face.
Among the dozen children born to his wife and concubines, two brothers, Xing Jing'an and Xing Jinglong, are the most talented in martial arts.
Xing Jinglong is expected to reach the peak of the Zang Refining Realm. He can only rely on miracles to break through to the Qi and Blood Realm. However, Xing Jing'an is more talented and has the hope of breaking through to the Qi and Blood Realm.
The others are all useless things that cannot be supported by mud.
But just yesterday, one of his favored sons, Xing Jinglong, died outside Songyi City.
Xing Zhiyuan's heart was filled with anger.
"Dad, how about I arrest Lin Zheyu from the Feihong Gang and interrogate him? Jinglong is chasing him out of the city. Maybe we can get a clue from him." Xing Jing'an suggested.
"He is just a small character, and he probably doesn't know much."
"Zhao Wude and Qiao Quan were also there at that time, and they cooperated with ten elite soldiers to silence them. Ordinary Qi and Blood Realm warriors couldn't do it."
"Maybe someone is waiting for us to lose our patience and take action in the city. If we do it now, we will fall into the trap of the person behind it."
"Don't worry, wait until he leaves the city before taking action."
"After the new year, it will be the day when Feihong helps Baishishan change its guard. By then, that kid should be transferred to guard it." Xing Zhiyuan said.
"Yes, Dad!"
……
In the early morning, the sky is bright.
Lin Zheyu got up early and went out.
He asked Xie Jiang and others and found out that there were indeed experts in the Feihong Gang who were proficient in using poison, but they had never met them.
If you want to learn skills from a teacher, you need to find a recommendation from Gang Leader Xu, and the other party may not be willing to teach you.
Masters who are proficient in poisoning are extremely rare, and knowledge is precious. Many people keep it to themselves and do not want to spread it to others.
Lin Zheyu thought for a while and decided to ask the doctors in the city first to see if anyone was willing to teach.
If he doesn't find it, he will wait for the result of inquiries from Senior Brother Han Mo. If nothing works, he will try to find Gang Leader Xu for a recommendation.
There is no distinction between medicine and poison, and doctors who are good at medicine all know more or less about poison.
Lin Zheyu went out early in the morning and went to the shops where he often buys medicinal materials.
The medicine shop not only sells medicinal materials, but also provides consultation with doctors.
Lin Zheyu asked several companies in succession, but failed to get the results he wanted.
These drug stores either directly sell detoxification pills and poison-avoiding pills, or if you want to learn, you need to become an apprentice, follow a doctor, and start as an apprentice, which takes too long.
Some even stated that they would not spread the word.
After coming out of the drug store, Lin Zheyu walked towards Jihe Hall.
He often comes to this pharmacy, and the doctor who treats him has good medical skills, is kind, and is easy to talk to.
"Brother Yu, you are here, please come this way."
"Do you still want to buy the same medicinal herbs this time?"
When the shopkeeper saw Lin Zheyu, his eyes lit up and he came to greet him personally.
"No, I just bought it yesterday. How could I use it up so quickly? I have something I want to talk to Doctor Wu about." Lin Zheyu said.
"Doctor Wu is seeing a doctor, I'll ask someone to inform you."
"You sit here and wait for a moment, I will pour you tea." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
This young master was his big customer and spent a lot of money at Jihe Hall.
Jihetang's business was good. Lin Zheyu waited for nearly half an hour before Doctor Wu came.
An old man with white hair and beard who looked kind-hearted walked in from the side door.
"I've kept Mr. Lin waiting for a long time," Doctor Wu said.
"Wait soon, I took the liberty of disturbing you."
Lin Zheyu said straight to the point: "I came to see Doctor Wu this time to ask you if you know anyone in Songyi City who is proficient in toxicology and is willing to teach?"
"Master Lin, do you want to learn toxicology?" Doctor Wu asked.
"Yeah."
"I went out to the city to do some errands two days ago and ran into a lot of bandits. These bandits were vicious and vicious. Their weapons were all poisoned and they scattered poisonous powder randomly."
"Learn some toxicology and understand some knowledge, so you can take precautions before they happen." Lin Zheyu said.
"I'm good at treating difficult and complicated diseases. I only study methods to treat diseases and save people. I'm not proficient in toxicology. Otherwise, I can teach you."
"But I know a friend who is proficient in toxicology. His temperament is a bit weird. He does things based on his mood and may not be willing to teach him."
Doctor Wu pondered for a moment and said.
"I would also like to ask Dr. Wu to help me introduce him. No matter whether he is successful or not, I will be grateful."
Lin Zheyu's eyes lit up, he took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it over.
After visiting so many pharmacies, I finally found something useful.
"Young Master Lin said something serious, but it's just a trivial matter."
"I have some friendship with this old monster. If I write you a letter of recommendation, he should give you a bit of help." Doctor Wu smiled and accepted the silver.
He likes young people like this who know how to cause trouble.
Doctor Wu asked someone to bring a pen and paper and write a letter of recommendation for Lin Zheyu.
"Thank you, Doctor Wu."
Lin Zheyu put away the letter of recommendation, gave Doctor Wu a fist, turned and left.
My morning's work was not in vain, at least I got some news.
……
It’s close to noon.
After leaving Jihe Hall, I went back, changed my clothes, and went straight to Funing Garden.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the New Year atmosphere is a little stronger today.
Many people have already arrived in Funing Garden.
The young ladies inside are all dressed in silk brocade and look extremely gorgeous.
Wearing a green shirt, he looked a little out of place among the many young men and young ladies.
Lin Zheyu looked around and didn't recognize anyone.
Among the young ladies, most do not practice martial arts, and less than one-third do.
Among those who practice martial arts, less than half are truly successful and have reached the bone forging realm or above.
Young ladies from aristocratic families, even if they don’t practice martial arts, they still have many paths to take.
They can do business, wait to die as a beggar, obtain fame, get a job in the government office through connections, etc.
The Wei Dynasty has been peaceful and stable for hundreds of years, and rebel armies have only appeared in recent years.
In the eyes of young ladies from aristocratic families, there is not much difference between practicing martial arts or not.
Practicing martial arts is hard and tiring, and it consumes a lot of time, energy, and money. These pampered young men can rarely afford the hardship of practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, the family is rich and very fertile.
Although the proportion of martial arts practitioners is not large, due to the large number of people, some martial arts talents have emerged.
In Funing Garden, sitting near the front, Xu Qinyi, Chen Xihong, Ren Qingfeng, two women and another young man.
"Cousin, I really don't want to get married. Please tell your second uncle if you can find someone else."
The beautiful woman sitting next to Xu Qinyi said with a bitter face.
The woman is very beautiful, her eyes are like apricots, her lips are red but not dotted, her eyebrows are green but not painted, her skin is like snow, her figure is graceful, and her hair like a dark cloud is exposed on the back of her head.
"Yuxiang, I'm not asking you to get married now. I'm just asking you to get along with Brother Lin. He may not be able to like you yet." Xu Qinyi said.
"But I'm so beautiful, he will definitely fall in love with me."
Xu Yuxiang said helplessly that sometimes being beautiful is a mistake.
"Brother Lin is not ugly, he is good at literature and martial arts, and he is also very talented in martial arts. He may become a strong man like my father in the future. How can I wrong you by being friendly with him?"
Xu Qinyi said.
"You said it was in the future. He is a poor boy with no background. In this troubled world, he doesn't know if he has a chance to grow up." Xu Yuxiang muttered.
"You are married to him, doesn't the Xu family become his background?"
"Heroes emerge from troubled times. Maybe Brother Lin will fight his way out in these troubled times." Chen Xihong said with a smile.
"I think it would be better to die early."
Xu Yuxiang thought to herself but did not dare to say it.
She comes from a wealthy family and has been well-fed since she was a child. She looks down on a poor boy like Lin Zheyu who fled from the outer city and has nothing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
To put it nicely, he has great talent and potential, and his future strength will be limitless.
To be realistic, I have nothing now. I only have talent and untapped potential. I am just a poor boy who is hardworking.
In this troubled world, whether we can grow up is still a question.
Xu Yuxiang doesn't want to be with such a person. There is no guarantee for her future. She wants to find a son from an aristocratic family to marry and live a life of fine clothing and fine food.
"Okay, don't be mean. My dad is very good at judging people. The people he values will have high achievements in the future." Xu Qinyi said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Xu Yuxiang hummed and stopped talking.
She couldn't refuse the decision made by Xu Jingwu.
And he was indeed very accurate in judging people. Those who grew up had high achievements, but what about those who died? How do you count so many people who died?
The third uncle who died, and the cousin’s lover who died before getting married, which one of them was not the young man that Uncle Xu was once optimistic about?
But aren’t they all dead?
"Don't worry, Yuxiang, I'll help you pass the test. Lin Zheyu is a very talented person, capable of both literary and military skills. He's really good."
"If you don't want it, I will ask my father to find him as a son-in-law in Ren Mansion." Ren Qingfeng said with a smile.
He has a good relationship with Chen Xihong and Xu Qinyi, and they went to meet Lin Zheyu together last time.
I originally wanted to ask him out the day before yesterday to test his skills, but unfortunately I didn't see him and said he was out of town.
Xu Yuxiang didn't want to say anything, she held her head and looked at the food on the table.
……
As soon as Lin Zheyu entered Funing Garden, a maid came to greet him.
"Mr. Lin, your place is here, please follow me." the maid said.
When I came to my seat and sat down, several Zang-Refining Realm warriors from the Feihong Gang had already arrived.
"Hello, gentlemen."
Lin Zheyu greeted them.
Except for Qiu Gaoxuan, he has only met several other Zang-Refining Realm warriors once or twice, and is not very familiar with them.
There are also several young people who are also at the bone forging level. They are probably very talented and are valued by Xu Jingwu.
"You have also been invited to Funing Garden. Gang Leader Xu really values you." Qiu Gaoxuan said expressionlessly.
This guy is just a facial paralysis, and he has no expression on anything he says.
"I heard about you when you first started storytelling. At that time, you were as thin as a monkey. I didn't expect that in a few months, you would reach the bone forging realm."
"Such talent is really enviable!" The middle-aged man on the left sighed.
His name is Xu Yezhou, and his ancestor is also from the Xu family, but now he is no longer in the fifth server.
"Yeah, I thought I had to train hard for four or five years before reaching the bone forging realm. I didn't expect Brother Lin to reach it in just a few months. Such a talent is really enviable."
A young man about the same age as Lin Zheyu sighed.
He was also favored by Xu Jingwu and was a relatively talented warrior, but compared with Lin Zheyu, he felt inferior.
"You guys are exaggerating, but at the beginning, I used more medicine to replenish qi and strengthen blood, so the improvement speed was faster, but it slowed down later."
Lin Zheyu said modestly.
Sitting with these people, he was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't interrupt much and listened silently to Qiu Gaoxuan and others' chat.
