Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Chapter 66: Shortage of Money Leads to the Tragic Deaths of Two Neighbors

In less than half a day, the whole city knew about the tragic deaths of the four monks from Huaxue Temple at Liuyue Nunnery near Erxian Bridge in the middle of the night.

Almost everyone in Sanhe County is talking about this.

"Xiao Shen, Xiao Feng, have you heard?"

Around noon, at the Xuanhu Medical Clinic's No. 13 clinic, the old doctor Huang Tie took advantage of the lunch break to come over from the No. 8 clinic for a visit.

"Is Elder Huang referring to the Willow Moon Hermitage from last night?"

Feng Hao asked.

"Exactly!"

Huang Tie stroked his beard and said, "Four monks died at Huaxue Temple, and it's said that one of them was an elder at the Refining Muscle Realm."

The Tendon Refining Realm—what does that even mean!

Cai Long, the right protector of the Black Dragon Gang, is at the Tendon Refining Realm. Everyone at the medical clinic knows his strength very well.

"I also find it incredible."

Feng Hao hurriedly said, "How could someone at the Tendon Refining Realm, with his title as an elder of the Blood Transformation Temple, and the help of three disciples with considerable combat strength, be utterly powerless to resist?"

Huang Tie paused for a moment and said, "It is conceivable how high the martial arts level of the person who killed those four must be."

Xiao Shen, why aren't you saying anything? What's your opinion on this strange thing?

"Honestly, I just hope I never encounter those high-flying battles between gods..."

Shen Han chuckled.

He himself was the one who started last night's events, so what opinion could he possibly have?

Huang Tie nodded slowly: "That's true. But then again, first the Fukang Escort Agency was wiped out, then the people of Huaxue Temple died tragically. Our Sanhe County really can't have peace lately."

Feng Hao agreed with Shen Han's view: "As long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine."

He remembered everything that had happened in Shiniu Town.

He was shot by an arrow from the young leader of the Black Dragon Gang. If it weren't for Shen Han's superb medical skills, he would not be alive.

Thinking of this, Feng Hao suddenly said, "Old Huang, could the murderer be that ugly-faced man?"

"You had this suspicion too?"

Huang Tie laughed.

Feng Hao hurriedly replied, "Yes, in my opinion, Mr. Ugly Face definitely has that ability."

Huang Tiedao: "That's right, Huaxue Temple has long been infamous for its predatory practices against the people."

This morning, I heard many people talk about this matter.

Everyone clapped and cheered, saying that it was good that the monks of Huaxue Temple died.

Who else, besides the hero Ugly Face, could earn the praise of the people?

As he spoke, Huang Tie recalled his past with Mr. Ugly Face.

From killing Wen He and his apprentice at Jinfo Temple to beheading two young gang leaders in Shiniu Town, Mr. Ugly Face may be ugly, but his actions definitely qualify him as a great hero!

"Have some tea, have some tea."

Shen Han handed Huang Tie a cup of tea, trying to change the subject.

After all, he couldn't handle being praised like this endlessly.

"Senior Brother Shen, have you seen Young Master Lin these past few days?"

Feng Hao asked.

Lin Tanzhi has been missing for several days, and there has been no news of him.

Shen Han waved his hand, indicating that he would not reveal Lin Tanzhi's matter.

He thought to himself that Lin Tanzhi had resolved his inner conflict last night and had made a resolute decision to leave. He couldn't predict whether he would ever see him again. Perhaps last night's farewell was a final goodbye.

Huang Tie sipped his tea and sighed, "The escort agency has been destroyed. I hope that Young Master Lin will be blessed with good fortune."

Let's not talk about Young Master Lin anymore, I'm not afraid of you two laughing at me.

"I really want to see Mr. Ugly Face again. If I could see that hero again, I would gladly give up ten years of my life!"

"puff……"

Shen Han spat out a mouthful of tea.

Old Huang, Old Huang, why are we back to this topic again?

Besides, don't we see each other every day? Don't be so outrageous!

After chatting for a few more minutes, Shen Han excused himself that his afternoon clinic was about to begin and asked Huang Tie to leave.

As patients entered, Shen Han, as usual, handed over almost all of them to Feng Hao for treatment.

As a result, Feng Hao's medical skills improved rapidly.

Shen Han had much less free time, as he focused his energy on dealing with some difficult patients.

But this afternoon, not a single person was seriously ill.

Therefore, at this point, he became a hands-off manager.

"The Sunflower Manual is indeed powerful..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to slack off, he secretly opened the control panel.

Kung Fu Technique: Sunflower Divine Skill (Mastery)

After incorporating the Ancient Yang Skill, the changes brought about by the perfected Sunflower Divine Skill are visible to the naked eye.

The clone only trained for one night, and it increased his strength by a full fifty pounds!

This progress can be described as incredibly fast.

This would have been absolutely unimaginable in the past.

In addition, my skin is firmer and my breathing is more even.

"If I keep practicing like this, spending 70% of my time each day practicing the Sunflower Divine Skill and the remaining 30% practicing the Wind and Thunder Steps, plus taking the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water daily, my cultivation level will break through to the Bone Refining Realm in no time..."

Shen Han made plans for his clones.

However, plans are plans, and a huge practical problem is right in front of him.

money!

As the saying goes, "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts," and now his daily expenses are quite high.

The herbal medicine for the "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water" costs ten taels of silver per serving.

The food expenses required for the clone, such as venison and tiger meat, amount to 500 coins per day.

Based on this calculation, it would cost at least 315 taels of silver per month!

Right now, he only has twenty taels of silver left and three servings of medicinal food. If he doesn't find a way to make money, his cultivation progress will definitely be greatly reduced in five or six days, or even come to a standstill.

This was clearly unacceptable to him!

What should I do?

Making money through medical skills is bound to be a drop in the ocean.

The monthly salary was thirty taels, and even with frequent outpatient visits, the total cost was still far short of three hundred taels. Moreover, outpatient visits depended on luck, and there was no chance to do so every day.

"This problem must be solved as soon as possible!"

Shen Han muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a deafening commotion erupted outside the clinic.

It was a noisy scene.

The patients queuing outside the clinic started whispering among themselves, and many even rushed out to see what was going on.

"What's going on?"

Shen Han asked Feng Hao to go and take a look as well.

Soon, Feng Hao returned.

"Senior Brother Shen, something has happened. Someone has died a violent death."

"Um?"

Shen Han frowned.

Feng Hao hurriedly said, "There's a group of constables outside. They're using a cart to pull two corpses back to the yamen."

A crowd gathered around, discussing the matter.

I heard that the two were murdered, and had only recently died; the killer is unknown.

Who was the deceased?

Shen Han said seriously.

Feng Hao said, "I heard from the locals that the deceased were a man and a woman who lived in Zhuque Lane in the East City. The man's surname was Qin, and he was an old man. The woman was a widow who sold knife-cut noodles, and her name was Bai Jie."

What!

Shen Han was immediately taken aback.

Grandpa Qin, Bai Jie!

These two men were his neighbors, and they were usually very law-abiding. How could they have died so inexplicably?

He took a deep breath and immediately stepped out of the clinic.

Push through the crowd.

Sure enough, there were two corpses lying on the cart used to haul the bodies.

The corpse's legs and arms had been severed, and its body was covered in wounds and blood, a gruesome sight. Shen Han recognized the two faces on the corpse as those of Grandpa Qin and Bai Jie.
