Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises.

Chapter 7: Mountain Full of Buildings

suck~
Qin Jiang took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and visualized his limbs and internal organs in his mind.

This is a trick in the Five Animal Exercises, which has the effect of calming the mind.

Call ~
After a moment, he exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils became clear again.

He picked up a few foxtail grasses and tied them into a bundle, then walked gently towards the tombstone and placed his hand on it.

After a while, he withdrew his hand in disappointment.

No potential points.

After looking around, he slowly backed away, then bent over and used foxtail grass to clear the traces.

Retreating back into the bushes, he headed towards the corner from which he came.

Noon, Baiyun Medical Clinic.

"Yes, these herbs are very good."

The old doctor stroked his beard with his left hand and examined a herb with his right hand. The herb was light in color but had deep lines, which was exactly the sign of full medicinal properties.

Putting down the herbs, he looked at Qin Jiang with tender eyes, "Have we gone deep into the Great Black Mountain?"

Qin Jiang raised his eyebrows, "It just went a little deeper into the inner circle."

The old doctor smiled when he heard this, then shook his head. "The Great Black Mountain is extremely mysterious. Rumor has it that there are not only monsters wandering around in it, but also legendary strange things lying around. The world today is different from the past, and no one can check and balance it. It's better not to go there."

As he said this, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and cut it with a knife, which was about eight cents. "I'll give you eight hundred coins."

Qin Jiang put away the change and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. This way, he only needed to go two more times to save enough money.

But he remembered the broken tombstone.

Although he couldn't be sure that the other party would hunt him down, he couldn't gamble.

Thinking back to the knife attack before death, even now I am not sure I could have dodged it.

If the other party really finds me, I might be in danger of death.

He is still too weak.

"If everything is fine, I'll go back first." He stood up and carried the medicine basket on his back.

"Wait." The old doctor stood up.

Qin Jiang looked at the old doctor, "What's wrong?"

The old doctor waved his hand, "Come with me to the backyard, I'll get you something."

After saying that, he walked towards the small door at the back.

Qin Jiang is following behind me. Give me something?
The two came to the backyard. The yard was not big, and the walls were covered with vines and traces of green moss everywhere.

In the middle of the yard, medicinal herbs were drying, and several stone utensils used to prepare them were randomly piled up.

"Wait here for a moment."

The old doctor walked towards a room and came out after a few minutes with a book and a wooden box in his hands.

"Take it. This book is the experience of practicing the Five Animal Exercises written by me. There is a Five Animals Pill in the wooden box. It is made with the blood of the five animals. Taking it can help you improve your realm."

Qin Jiang took it subconsciously. The book had turned a little yellow and the wooden box was a little greasy.

He looked at the old doctor and said, "This is too expensive. I can't accept it."

He had heard of the name of the Five Animals Pill more than once. It was known for its ability to prolong life. Even a dying person could be forced to stay alive for five hours with it.

The old doctor shook his head. "I see that you have already mastered the second level of the Five Animal Exercises. This pill may help you master the third level. I am over 200 years old now. I don't need this thing anymore. It would be a waste to keep it."

Two Jiazi years? One hundred and twenty years old!

Qin Jiang's heart was slightly shocked. The old doctor looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He had always thought that even if the old doctor was older, he would definitely not be over a hundred years old. He didn't expect that he was already over a hundred and twenty years old!
If this happened in the ancient times, he would be like an immortal!

Without waiting for him to say anything, the old doctor continued, "Don't refuse me. This Five Animals Pill needs to be used in conjunction with the internal energy of the Five Animals Exercises to achieve its maximum effect. No one is more suitable than you. It's not a rare precious medicine anyway. If you feel bad about it, I will sell it to you for a hundred coins and deduct it from your next purchase of herbs. How about that?"

Qin Jiang fell silent after hearing this. This Five Animals Pill was certainly not some common stuff.

Although it is not considered a precious medicine, if it is sold to the masters in the inner city, it will cost dozens of taels of silver. Its value is comparable to that of a 300-year-old ginseng!
He didn't understand why the old doctor treated him like this.

Just because I mastered the Five Animal Exercises?

After a moment of silence, he put away the manual and the wooden box, and bowed deeply to the old doctor. "If you need anything in the future, I will do my best!"

The old doctor stroked his beard and gently helped Qin Jiang up. "No need for that. I don't ask for anything in return from you. Just pass on this Five Animal Play."

He wandered around all his life and only returned here when he was old. Although his two disciples were diligent, they were never able to master the Five Animal Play.

That's why he spread this method so widely, but despite this, no one had been able to master it until Qin Jiang appeared.

In this way, he had given an explanation to his master.

"If there's nothing else, go back," he said.

Qin Jiang nodded heavily, "I'll take my leave now."

When he turned around and walked to the hospital gate, the old doctor suddenly called him again.

"Wait." The old doctor raised his hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Qin Jiang tilted his head slightly, his eyes puzzled, "Old doctor?"

The old doctor raised his eyelids, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Take six ounces of caustic soda, boil it with ten catties of warm water, add four ounces of night-shining sand, two ounces of toad venom, and ten zhu of toad skin, and boil it until three catties of liquid remain. This is the corpse-dissolving water."

After he finished speaking, Qin Jiang stood there, staring at the old doctor in a daze.

The old doctor nodded slightly. "This world is in chaos, so we should have some means to protect ourselves. When we act, we should have a clear conscience."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, bowed, turned around and left without saying anything.

That night, the moon was bright and high in the sky.

After leaving Baiyun Clinic, Qin Jiang first went to a restaurant in the north of the city near the inner city and rented a room for a hundred coins a month.

Afterwards, he went home, took out the copper coins, exchanged them for silver, bought the ingredients, prepared corpse-dissolving water, and disposed of Liu Dahang's body.

Before going out, Qin Jiang felt a cool breeze and looked at the room. Although he had only stayed there for one night, he always felt very familiar with this place due to his memory.

He tightened his bag, walked to the wooden table, smashed it with his hand, and then messed up other places, making it look like it had been looted.

After walking out and locking the door, he took out a thin white line and arranged it in various places outside the house.

If they were neighbors, they would not come in when they saw the door was locked. After Liu Dahang's death, no gangsters would come to this alley anymore.

Therefore, as long as these white lines become passive, it means that the two tomb robbers are coming.

After looking around and making sure no one was paying attention, he quickly left in the cover of night.

After passing through several hidden paths, he came to the back door of a small restaurant.

The small wooden building, named Shanmanlou, is famous for its wild game and is considered a luxurious place in the outer city.

Usually, the sons of wealthy landlords come here to drink and brag, or they come from gangs of knights.

Passing through the back door, there was a large courtyard. He looked at the light in the front yard. It was just getting dark and it was not yet time to close.

Moreover, no one cared about the curfew at that time, so the restaurant owner would naturally try to make as much money as possible so that he could move into the inner city earlier.

In the outer city, there is no security at all, and the gangs collect a lot of protection fees, so the income is far less than that of the inner city.

He took out the key, walked to a guest room in the corner, opened it and entered.

Put the package down, light a candle on the table, and take an envelope from the drawer.
