Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Back in the courtyard, Shen Han opened the control panel.

Mirror owner: Shen Han

Cultivation level: Flesh Refining

Exercise: Ancient Yang Gong (Mastery)

Martial Arts: Raging Dragon Fist (Perfected), Sky-Splitting Blade Technique (Perfected)

Skill: Medical Skills (Perfect)

"The perfected Heaven-Splitting Blade Technique, combined with the strength of over a thousand jin at the Body Refining Realm, is indeed extraordinary in power."

In actual combat, I can steadily suppress experts at the Body Refining Realm.

However, one cannot stop practicing martial arts; one must continuously improve one's realm in order to become stronger.

Okay, let's see what's written on the white cloth.

He took out the white cloth he had obtained from Wen He, brought it close to the oil lamp, and examined it closely.

Upon seeing this, he was both surprised and delighted.

The white cloth contained a medicinal diet recipe called "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water".

This medicinal diet is made by decocting thirteen kinds of medicinal herbs in a certain proportion. It has a great effect on condensing qi and blood and tempering muscles and bones. Moreover, it can be consumed by martial artists who have not yet reached the Bone Refining Realm.

"A timely help!"

Shen Han felt extremely fortunate about his trip to Jinfo Temple tonight.

The Qi-Gathering Powder has lost its effect, so the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon-Strengthening Water couldn't have come at the worst possible time.

"I'll buy the medicine tomorrow at noon; I hope it won't be too expensive..."

The next morning, Shen Han arrived at the clinic.

Unlike the gloomy atmosphere of yesterday evening, everyone in the clinic was relaxed.

"Old Huang, are you alright?"

Shen Han sat in Huang Tie's No. 8 clinic and personally brewed a pot of tea for Huang Tie.

"Sigh, I'm perfectly fine, but it's Xiao Li..."

"The dead cannot be brought back to life; Huang Lao, please accept my condolences."

Huang Tie nodded: "Fortunately, those three despicable villains have all been killed, so Little Li can finally rest in peace."

Shen Han casually asked, "Who did it?"

"An ugly hero."

Huang Tie looked on with longing and said, "Little Shen, you didn't see it. That hero was simply born with superhuman strength. Wen He's two disciples had no chance to fight back at all."

Even Wen He only held out for a short while before being slaughtered without a single survivor.

"Old Huang, didn't you ask him his name and background?"

"How could I dare to casually associate with such heroic figures?"

Huang Tie waved his hand and said, "However, during his conversation with Wen He, the hero mentioned that he knew the master of the museum."

Shen Han found it amusing and said, "A friend of Master Han?"

Huang Tie said, "But the master has no impression of him. I thought about it carefully last night before going to sleep. It is probably because the master has made many good connections that he has such good fortune."

Sigh, I really wish I had a friend like that.

"Old Huang, your medical ethics are so noble, perhaps someone has been secretly protecting you all along."

"Xiao Shen, stop joking."

"I'm serious."

"Oh, right!"

Huang Tie suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of that ugly-faced hero, there's something else."

Shen Han asked curiously, "What is it?"

Huang Tie's expression was strange: "After that hero killed the villain, he actually stole all the silver from the corpse."

"Haha, I think even heroes need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves."

Shen Han quickly drank a sip of hot tea to ease the awkwardness.

Huang Tie agreed: "That's true. That hero might be a lone wolf with no livelihood. After eliminating a scourge for the people, it's only natural for him to take the thief's silver."

As they were talking, patients began to arrive one after another.

The day's medical consultations have begun.

Han Zhengming originally suggested that Huang Tie rest for a few days before discussing it further, but Huang Tie was concerned about the patients and did not agree.

noon.

Hua'an Hall in the south of the city.

"Young master, are you preparing to change the medicinal herbs again?"

Shopkeeper Qiao Shan was very surprised.

Shen Han smiled and said, "That's right. This batch of herbs contains thirteen kinds. Please tell me how much it costs per batch, shopkeeper."

Although that's what he said, Shen Han knew very well that the ingredients for a dose of Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water were definitely much more expensive than Qi Condensation Powder. He wondered how many doses he could buy with his sixty taels of silver.

"Forehead……"

Qiao Shan was stunned after reading the prescription.

Shen Han asked, "Shopkeeper, could it be... that there's something wrong with the recipe?"

Qiao Shan frowned slightly: "To be honest, I have ten of the medicinal herbs on hand, but I don't have the remaining three herbs: Tongtian Grass, Linpi, and Huzhong Root."

"No?"

Shen Han asked in surprise.

Qiao Shan said with a helpless expression, "Yes, the medicinal formula you requested this time is very expensive, costing at least seven or eight taels of silver. If I had the goods, how could I not make a profit?"

So expensive?

Shen Han was stunned.

But not only are they expensive, but they're also hard to find, which is a completely new problem.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where I can find this?"

"My Hua'antang is the largest pharmacy in Sanhe County. If I don't have this, other stores certainly won't have it either."

Qiao Shan said seriously, "If you don't believe me, you can ask around elsewhere."

Shen Han clasped his hands in thanks: "Then thank you very much."

Qiao Shan saw Shen Han to the door: "Take care, young master. If you need anything else in the future, please feel free to come and find me again."

To be honest, Qiao Shan cared a lot about Shen Han as a client. He was well aware of what a stable customer base meant for doing business.

After leaving Hua'an Hall, Shen Han went to several other pharmacies.

As Qiao Shan had said, there was no Tongtiancao, Linpi, or Huzhonggen for sale in the entire county.

Shen Han returned to the Xuanhu Medical Clinic.

He took the opportunity to inquire with the butler, Qian Cheng, and learned that the clinic had never purchased those three medicines.

"What should we do?"

He could only put the matter aside for the time being.

An hour later, as usual, all the registered patients in clinic number thirteen had been seen.

Zhan Chaoyang stepped into the clinic to have his dressing changed.

"Young Doctor Shen, my injuries seem to be completely healed, and I can move around freely now!"

"Hmm, Guard Zhan, your physical fitness is indeed excellent."

"No, no, it's all thanks to you, Dr. Shen."

Zhan Chaoyang hurriedly said, "Now I understand even more. No wonder you were able to cure my uncle, Young Doctor Shen. Although you are young, your medical skills have already reached the pinnacle!"

Shen Han laughed and said, "Guard Zhan, please don't flatter me."

Zhan Chaoyang said boldly, "You deserve it! By the way, about what happened last night, my friend at the yamen told me that the magistrate has issued a gag order, and no one is allowed to mention it."

Why?

"Wen He and the other two were traitors of the Long Saber Sect. Magistrate He believes that their deaths must involve gangs. As the saying goes, matters of the martial world should be settled within the martial world. Magistrate He does not want to interfere too much."

"Magistrate He is quite shrewd."

"Otherwise, how could he become an official?" Zhan Chaoyang said. "Besides that, there was another strange thing that happened yesterday."

"Um?"

"A night watchman was killed with a knife."

Zhan Chaoyang said seriously, "This matter is even more bizarre. My constable friend originally wanted to investigate it thoroughly, but guess what? It is said that Magistrate He was suddenly taken over by an external force and hastily concluded that the matter was a suicide."

It must have been that senior brother who did it... Shen Han was certain of it.

The night watchman was an informant for the top disciple of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School. If the investigation were to proceed thoroughly, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the school's reputation. A quiet, unresolved outcome would be in the best interests of all parties.

That's good... Shen Han thought to himself, with the night watchman dead, at least things will be quiet for a while now.
