Chapter 62: Invitation from Overlord

Shen Qing's mind was completely immersed in the martial arts moves taught by Li Linfeng, and he practiced them over and over again without getting tired of it.

It was unknown how long it had been before Shen Qing was interrupted by Li Linfeng and came out of this state of immersion.

"Let's stop here for today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing put away his gear, exhaled a breath, and slowly dispersed the blood and energy that had gathered on his fingers.

At this time, Li Linfeng took out two pieces of paper with words written on them and handed them to Shen Qing, saying, "Can you recognize the words?"

Shen Qing took it and replied, "I recognize it."

"This is a recipe for relaxing muscles and strengthening bones. It can help you stretch your muscles and strengthen your bones. I have written some precautions and instructions on it. You can go find Ah Fu later and ask him to get some for you so you can take a medicinal bath." Li Linfeng taught seriously.

"Thank you, uncle." Shen Qing put away the prescription and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Li Linfeng didn't say much. He walked around Shen Qing and went out of the yard and left the backyard.

Shen Qing kept his hands clasped in a respectful gesture of farewell until Li Linfeng's back completely disappeared.

He glanced at the muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening formula in his hand.

It contains specific medicinal materials, methods of medicinal baths, and the key to related breathing to refine the medicinal power, all listed in great detail.

It can be seen that Li Linfeng is not fooling him.

Just when he put away the prescription and was about to leave, he unexpectedly saw Li Linfeng coming back.

Shen Qingcai's relaxed attitude became respectful again in the panic.

Li Linfeng looked at Shen Qing and said seriously, "I forgot to tell you that the medicinal bath costs two taels of silver per bath. You will pay it to Ah Fu when the time comes. If you don't have money, you can keep a record of it first and find a way to make up for it later."

"Two liang!"

Shen Qing was startled.

This price is almost equivalent to the average family's two-month expenses.

"Did you remember it?" Li Linfeng repeated it again.

Shen Qing said: "I've made a note of it."

Seeing this, Li Linfeng felt slightly relieved and strode away.

Shen Qing looked at the two pieces of thin paper in his hands and felt that they were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

It is said that practicing martial arts costs money, and today he finally saw it.

Fortunately, he brought more than ten taels of silver when he came this time, which was enough to get by for a while.

The family still had about thirty or forty taels of silver left from the money they robbed from Wang Qiyao and Lao Bazi last time. He thought that this was a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it was not worth spending at all.

If you want to succeed, you have to find a way to make money.

After Shen Qing left the backyard, he went straight to the pharmacy in the outer courtyard without delay, gave Ah Fu two taels of silver, and prescribed a prescription for relaxing muscles and strengthening bones.

Ah Fu was still a little surprised that Shen Qing could casually take out two taels of silver.

He had always thought that Shen Qing, a small hunter living in the mountains, had very tight financial conditions, but it seemed that the actual situation was not the case.

Ah Fu, on the other hand, did not ask too many questions. People who practice martial arts always have some problems.

He quickly grabbed the herbs for the recipe for relaxing muscles and strengthening bones, and boiled hot water, preparing to give Shen Qing a medicinal bath.

After practicing Kung Fu for a while, Shen Qing, who was covered in sweat, walked into a servant's room under the guidance of Ah Fu after receiving notification from Ah Fu.

Inside the room, there was a huge cypress bathtub in the middle, steam rising from it.

As soon as I opened the door, the scent of herbs mixed with cypress hit me in the face.

Without saying a word, Shen Qing sat naked in the black medicine barrel.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a wave of heat rushing into his chest, and countless tiny flames seemed to be ignited in his body and burned up all of a sudden.

Shen Qing hurriedly urged his blood and qi to guide the medicinal power into his meridians. Instantly, patches of red appeared on his skin, like a cooked prawn, becoming redder and redder.

Shen Qing didn't expect that the effect of this recipe for relaxing muscles and strengthening bones would be so overbearing and fierce.

A bath like a thousand cuts would tear his muscles to shreds.

He clenched his teeth and frowned, and the sweat on his forehead slid down like raindrops, hitting the water surface and causing tiny ripples.

Shen Qing suddenly let out a muffled groan, and a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he was enduring great torment.

The power of the medicine was too overbearing, like a violent fire dragon, roaming freely in his meridians, constantly challenging the limits of his body, as if tearing and reorganizing his muscles.

After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power in the medicinal bath was gradually absorbed by Shen Qing, and the dark water in the pool became much lighter.

Shen Qing's face gradually turned rosy and his breathing returned to normal.

He slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, as if he had been reborn.

He stood up and stretched his muscles, and felt full of strength. It seemed that the blood and energy in his body were improved, and he felt lighter.

……

The area near the city wall is the best location in the outer city.

It is only separated from the inner city by a wall, making it very convenient to travel between the inner and outer cities.

Not far from the west city gate, among the dilapidated shanties, an off-white mansion stands out.

The clean white walls and bright windows form a sharp contrast with the bleak surroundings.

There were young and strong men wearing ordinary cotton clothes at the door, constantly coming in and out of the gate.

A strong man threw a young man with a bruised face into the main room.

"Master Ba, I caught another person who escaped from Wang Mazi's group. Do you want to enforce the family rules?"

As soon as the sturdy man finished speaking, the young man begged for mercy: "Master Ba, spare me, Master Ba, spare me! It really wasn't us who did this to the old bastard. Wang Mazi was still playing with prostitutes that day, it couldn't have been him. Please at least check it out again!"

A big man sitting in the middle of the main room asked, "Which one is this?"

He looked to be in his thirties or forties, about 1.9 meters tall, standing like an iron tower, with arms that went past his knees, unlike an ordinary person.

"This is the fourth one. They all said that Wang Mazi was at the kiln girl's place that day. It seems to be true. He didn't kill Lao Ba."

"People are dead, so it doesn't matter now." Ba Ye said indifferently: "Did the old man have any grudges with other people before he died?"

"Yes, but it's not even remotely related."

"Who is it?"

"A hunter from Hongshan Village." The strong man recalled, "Old Bazi wanted to capture him before, but ended up killing several of his brothers. After that, Old Bazi kept trying to kill the hunter, but he never found him until he died. Old Bazi's death had nothing to do with him. But..."

"But what?"

"During my investigation, I found something interesting. This hunter is the nephew of Li Linfeng's seventh concubine. He recently joined the Linfeng Hall and has just started learning martial arts from Li Linfeng."

Ba Ye said in surprise: "If I remember correctly, did the Mi Gang attack Li Linfeng a few days ago?"

"Yes, he injured one of his close disciples, causing his seventh wife to have a miscarriage."

Ba Ye tapped his hands on the chair and said, "Boss Mi, we have always wanted to establish a connection, but we have no chance. This Li Linfeng might be a breakthrough. Go get someone to call this hunter over to me later. I will see if there is any way to plant a nail next to Li Linfeng."

"Okay." The sturdy man kicked the young man at his feet and asked, "Master Ba, what should we do about this?"

"Kill him."

"Master Ba, please spare me, Master Ba, please spare me. I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything. Ah..."

The young man's begging for mercy came to an abrupt end.
