Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

In the evening, Shen Han returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city.

He immediately took out a portion of the medicinal materials for the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water and simmered it over a low flame in the medicine stove.

Before long, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted up.

"The smell of this Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water is so much better than that of Qi Condensation Powder. I can finally stop smelling that stench..."

Shen Han muttered to himself.

While waiting for the medicinal food to be prepared, he took out the other items from the bronze mirror.

The first one is the Returning Cloud Pill.

Two bottles of forbidden medicine, a total of nine pills. The example of Cao Ziping, the leader of the Green Robe Gang, shows that this Guiyun Pill is no ordinary thing. As long as one has a breath left, one can survive. It's just unclear how they stole it from the palace.

"This elixir will work for me..."

Then there was a silk cloth with four patterns painted on it, as well as black iron bricks and the Soul-Illuminating Jade Seal.

Shen Han leaned closer to the oil lamp and carefully examined the silk cloth, especially the four characters "Xuan Shuang Feng Hun" on it.

It is obvious that each character is taken from the name of one of four things.

Xuan: Black iron brick.

Frost: Cold frost on a wooden mirror.

Seal: Unseal the dzi bead.

Soul: Soul jade seal.

But how exactly do you use this thing?

Iron Fist Manor has been pursuing the Black Iron Brick, and Du Chong has kept the Soul-Illuminating Jade Seal close to his body. If the items were ordinary, they would not have gone to such lengths. This is enough to prove that the claim of accelerating cultivation is definitely not unfounded.

But how exactly do you do it?

Shen Han had no clue whatsoever.

After all, the black iron bricks and the Soul-Illuminating Jade Seal have no mechanisms; they are just made of special materials.

"Let's talk about it later..."

He put everything back into the bronze mirror.

At least for now, having the clone cultivate is the only way.

Fortunately, the clone possesses extraordinary talent, and its training speed is incredibly fast, making it an absolutely incredible existence.

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 clone's circulation of internal energy became increasingly proficient, its efficiency in condensing true energy increased, and its daily increase in power was visible to the naked eye.

"Let's try the medicine."

After waiting a while longer, the marrow-cleansing and tendon-strengthening water was ready.

This was a bowl of clear and bright medicinal food. Shen Han placed the medicinal food in front of the bronze mirror and instructed his clone to immediately drink the medicine and cultivate.

"It's been useful before the Bone Refining Realm, let's see how effective it is!"

The next moment, he understood perfectly, tilted his head back, and drank the entire bowl of the marrow-cleansing and tendon-strengthening water clean.

Then, the clone sat cross-legged and practiced the exercises in conjunction with the pharmacology.

"call……"

Shen Han immediately sensed the change.

The immense warmth that the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water brought to his clone was fully shared within his body, like surging boiling water that seemed about to overflow.

"Cool!"

Shen Han couldn't help but shout.

Looking into the mirror again, the clone was emitting smoke, cultivating with great enthusiasm.

An hour passed quickly.

The clone was drenched in sweat, the results of his cultivation were quite remarkable, the purity of his true energy had increased by a full 30%.

"The four stages of martial arts are refining the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. The time it takes me to break through the tendon refinement stage will be greatly shortened."

The Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water is indeed extraordinary, far superior to Qi Condensation Powder. Its only drawback is its high price, which explains why Wen He and his disciples extorted a large sum of money from it.

But no matter what, you must take one dose every day!

Shen Han made a decision in secret.

In order to become stronger, the clone must take the high-grade medicinal diet of Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water once a day.

There are now twenty-four portions left. We definitely can't buy the remaining medicinal herbs from the Green Robe Gang anymore, so we have to find other ways to obtain them.

"Clone, continue practicing. I'm going to sleep now."

After taking a shower, Shen Han lay down on the bed.

His clone cultivated day and night, and he provided it with ample food. In his words, this was a clear division of labor, joint effort, and a win-win cooperation...

……

Shiniu Mountain, Qingyi Gang.

Chamber of Secrets.

"What did you say? My Lin'er was actually killed with a single blow!"

Gang leader Cao Ziping stomped his foot heavily and roared at the four martial artists kneeling in front of him.

The martial artist stammered, "Yes, the young master didn't even have a chance to fight back before he was cleaved in two... The four of us fought tooth and nail to barely escape back and report the news..."

Vice-leader Li Shan coldly snorted, "Who is the murderer?"

"He was an ugly man who not only killed the young gang leader, but also beheaded Du Chong of the Black Dragon Gang..."

The martial artist recounted everything that had happened the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ziping's face turned ashen: "This matter was caused by the traitor Qin Wu, and his family must be executed! Manager Meng, there's no time to lose. Take this order and go kill Qin Wu's entire family!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Meng Songyun quickly accepted the order and withdrew. The four martial artists were all terrified upon seeing this.

"By the way, Lao Li, have you ever heard of that ugly man?"

Cao Ziping then addressed Li Shan.

"no."

Li Shan shook his head, "I've been navigating the martial arts world of Sanhe County for decades, and I've never seen any ugly middle-aged masters."

Cao Ziping frowned and said, "That's strange. Who would dare to attack both my Green Robe Gang and Black Dragon Gang at the same time?"

"Could it be the Moon Worship Cult?"

Li Shan proposed a hypothesis.

Cao Ziping waved his hand and said, "I know Bai Wei's cultivation level very well. In my opinion, his men wouldn't dare to openly challenge my Green Robe Gang."

Li Shan added, "But this matter is absolutely no small thing, Chief, we must take precautions as soon as possible."

Cao Ziping said in a deep voice, "That's exactly right. Moreover, our struggle against the Black Dragon Gang cannot stop."

"You lot, where is my Lin'er's body?"

The four martial artists hurriedly replied, "They're still in the other courtyard..."

"Damn it! You dare come back?" Cao Ziping's expression immediately hardened. "Old Li, it's all yours now!"

"I will obey the leader's orders."

Click click click click!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Shan made his move, snapping the necks of the four martial artists and killing them instantly.

……

Meanwhile, at the Black Dragon Gang's headquarters.

The three men looked somber.

These three were high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Gang.

The gang leader, Du Guangling, was tall and had a ferocious appearance.

The Left Protector, Ding Dian, was dressed as a scholar.

Right Protector Cai Long wears a straw hat.

"Master, I haven't been able to find out the origins of that ugly man yet."

Cai Long clasped his hands in a fist and bowed as he reported to the leader.

Ding Dian also said, "Yes, to the best of my knowledge, there is no such person in Sanhe County."

Du Guangling said sternly, "This man killed my Chong'er and insulted his head. It's obvious he's after the Black Dragon Gang. This is intolerable!"

"Cao Lin of the Green Robe Gang also died at his hands."

Cai Long continued.

Du Guangling took a deep breath: "Could it be that he's planning to take on both of our gangs one-on-one?"

Ding Dian hurriedly asked, "Boss, could that guy be from the Iron Fist Martial Arts School?"

"Unlikely."

Du Guangling said, "The spy I planted in the martial arts school said that there are no ugly middle-aged men in the school."

Ding Dian said, "Intriguing."

Du Guangling pondered for a moment, then shouted, "One day, I will tear that ugly man to pieces and avenge my Chong'er! Cai Long and Ding Dian, you two continue your secret investigation. Report back to me immediately if you have any news!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Besides, annexing the Green Coat Gang is urgent, and now is the time to spend money. Next time you bring people to collect protection fees, you should raise your prices!"
