Chapter 55: Follow-up to Health Preservation Exercises
"Another one..."
As the skill of beast taming progresses, the speed at which a fish can be tamed also increases significantly.
He has now tamed ten.
"It's past midnight!"
Li Yuan looked at the calm river surface; there wasn't even a wisp of wind today.
"Why does it feel a bit like the prelude to a storm?"
He murmured.
"I'm too tense."
He then smiled, sat cross-legged, and began practicing his health-preserving exercises.
The four characters "Heaven rewards diligence" flashed through my mind.
What exactly happened?
Li Yuan practiced the health-preserving exercise again and again, circulating his qi and blood throughout his body, eventually returning to the Dao blood in his dantian.
I don't know how much time passed.
The four characters "Heaven rewards diligence" suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and Li Yuan took a step as if possessed.
The next moment, he sensed the direction.
"This is....."
Li Yuan could not hide his excitement!
After such a long period of diligent practice, I have finally reaped the rewards.
He immediately checked the panel in his mind.
Heaven rewards diligence.
Name: Li Yuan
[Realm Level: Rank 7 (Bone Forging)]
[Technique: ? ? ? ?]
...
The "Techniques" section has turned into a question mark?
"This is....."
"Does this mean that once you take this step, it's no longer a health-preserving exercise?"
"Never mind!"
He continued his cultivation, and with a clear direction, the belief that Heaven rewards diligence served as a guiding light, illuminating his path forward step by step.
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly!
The scene before Li Yuan's eyes changed; a broad, wide road stretched out before him.
"Got it!"
At the same time, the panel changed.
[Technique: ? ? ? (0/400)]
The progress bar is out!
"But the name of the cultivation technique is still a question mark!"
"Are you going to name it yourself?"
Li Yuan murmured, "Then let's just keep calling it Health Preservation Exercise!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
The question mark on the panel suddenly turned into the three big characters "Health Preservation Exercise", but there was no such thing as mastering it.
"This is the path I've forged myself!"
Slowly opening his eyes and looking at the water, Li Yuan spoke with an arrogant expression.
During this time, he learned quite a bit. Anyone capable of creating cultivation techniques was a genius among geniuses. Although he relied on "Cheat Brother," he was still considered a genius!
"Keep a low profile!"
After indulging in his fantasies, Li Yuan smiled.
My current strength is only at the seventh rank, which is nothing special in the inner city.
"Cultivation!"
With the subsequent training methods in hand, Li Yuan was immediately filled with enthusiasm.
The rebels are lurking in the outer city, only temporarily halting their advance. Once the ships are completed, a major battle will inevitably begin.
.....
The sky was turning white like a fish's belly.
Li Yuan let out a long breath and then immediately checked the panel.
"A little progress?!"
He frowned; it had been almost two hours.
Clearly, they are very dissatisfied with this speed. If this continues... even working non-stop, it will still take more than two months!
too slow!
"Unless there's a powerful elixir, or... a blood pool!"
The cultivation technique is no longer needed.
Blood Pool was naturally his first choice.
...
Upon returning home, Li Yuan immediately went into his room.
The next moment, a series of "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds rang out.
Wang Xiulan, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, sighed inwardly. Having been through similar experiences, she couldn't possibly miss the implication: "This child, in broad daylight!"
Beside the bed.
Qiu Yun, still dressed and with a slightly flushed face, asked, "Wasn't the sound very loud just now?"
She was a little worried about being overheard.
But... I couldn't help it.
"good!"
Li Yuan didn't know either. "I'm hungry. Go and prepare some food."
He was starving the moment he finished his training, but his younger brother was even hungrier. There was no way around it; once you start something like this, there's no stopping it. So even if he was hungry, he couldn't let his brother suffer.
"I'll go right away."
Upon hearing that he was hungry, Qiu Yun hurriedly went out.
Soon... "Ah Yuan, come out for breakfast."
"They're here!"
...
He had a bowl of meat in the morning, but after cultivating for less than two hours, Li Yuan was hungry again.
"hehe!"
He gave a wry smile; this guy had become a complete glutton.
...
"Brother, what do you think of this house?"
Qiu Tong asked.
He came specifically in the afternoon to show him the house.
"very good."
With two courtyards, each with houses in both the front and back, we can be a bit more unrestrained...
"That's it!"
"OK!"
That's how men buy things; they take a look and if it seems okay, that's fine.
Qiu Tong intervened and the deal was finally struck at a price of over four hundred taels of silver.
Moreover, it was he who provided the money.
Li Yuan didn't even have a chance to refuse.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Yuanqian invited him to a restaurant for a meal as a way of thanking him.
A private room.
"Brother Qiu, you've gone to so much trouble," Li Yuan said, raising his wine glass in gratitude.
"Alright!"
"It's not much. I definitely wouldn't have been this generous before. Didn't I make quite a bit of money in the outer city last time? It's nothing."
Now that they're on our side, there's no need for him to hide anything anymore.
"Let's pick a good day and move there."
"OK!"
Afterwards, the two started chatting, and Qiu became more talkative as they drank together.
Most of them are about Qiu Yun.
It's not easy.
Li Yuan naturally understood what he meant: he wanted Li Yuan to treat her well.
"By the way, Brother Qiu, there's something I need to ask you. Why can't we buy this medicine in the pharmacies inside the city?"
Last time, I was originally planning to do business in finished medicines, so I specially purchased a batch of medicinal herbs.
We inquired at the time, but they couldn't find any medicine that was over a hundred years old, or even thirty-four years old.
"You mean this?"
"So you're using potent medicinal herbs to make medicinal cuisine to replenish your qi and blood, right?"
"right!"
Li Yuan nodded in reply that even if he ate meat, he would have difficulty replenishing enough qi and blood for cultivation. He could endure it for a short time, but it would affect his cultivation in the long run.
Now the outer city is watching us closely, and no one knows whether the inner city can be defended.
Therefore, we must improve our strength as soon as possible.
"Then you've come to the right person. Not even many constables know this, let alone ordinary people."
Qiu Tong laughed.
He knew this because he often ran errands for Chief Constable Song to buy medicine.
"The medicinal herb business in the inner city is monopolized by the Yang family, one of the three major families."
"However, there are so many martial artists in the inner city, as well as two other major families and the county government, so the Yang family doesn't dare to go too far. Therefore, they opened a pharmacy to sell these old medicines."
"Call it Bailing Pharmacy!"
"Even if ordinary people knew, they couldn't get in; they needed someone they knew to be with them."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, "No wonder."
Let's go!
"It's still early, I'll take you there, and next time you can go by yourself."
.....
"This is Bailing Pharmacy!"
It was a pavilion without a plaque, and there were two burly men guarding the outside. Most people would be intimidated by it, let alone go inside.
"Yes, let's go!"
Qiu Tong pulled a plaque from his pocket. "This is my brother, the head constable of the yamen!"
