Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

The main problem is that the ginseng is far too precious. Even selling it for twenty taels of silver a piece would be a bargain.

"Of course, in addition to the improved quality of the medicine, my absorption rate of the medicine is also one of the reasons for the rapid increase in my [physical constitution]."

Looking at the reactions of the two older brothers, Li Cheng and Zhuang Hongxiu, after taking the medicine.

Li Xin was a little surprised.

I have gained a better understanding of my own body.

The eldest brother and Zhuang Hongxiu had only drunk half a bowl of herbal soup, and their skin was already as red as boiled shrimp.

The two men's fists and feet whistled through the air; one practiced Chuojiao (a type of footwork), and the other practiced Wing Chun.

After fighting for nearly half an hour, his blood and qi were still churning.

Especially the area above the forehead, which was steaming hot, like boiling water.

"This medicine is too nourishing for them, wasting a lot of its potency, and their pores couldn't lock in their breath."

According to Dr. Yang, this condition indicates that medication has reached its limit.

"However, I don't have much of a reaction here. After digestion, I can still take another dose."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xin swallowed another bowl of medicine.

He continued practicing until the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) before concluding his practice.

Looking at his [Constitution] of 18.2 and [Spirit] of 20.05, he fell into deep thought.

This medicine will not only strengthen the body, but also invigorate the spirit.

After taking two doses of tonic, the effect did not diminish, and the body did not experience the bloating, pain, or tearing sensation that Dr. Yang had described.

I could only feel that my blood was a little hot and my heart was slightly agitated.

I want to fight.

"Based on this, I can probably only take about three doses of the Nourishing Essence Soup a day. Any more than that and I'll feel unwell."

"Such terrifying drug tolerance is probably due to the effect of [innate innate talent]."

"The increase in faith power boosts attribute points, fundamentally improving my body from the inside out in the most subtle way. It is more comprehensive and solid than the progress in qi and blood gained through cultivation."

"If I have enough precious medicine, I can improve at a rocket-like speed."

Before others even realize it, it has already grown into a towering tree.

"Yong'an Hall..."

Li Xin stood in the courtyard, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

As for Baoshentang, Li Xin didn't have high hopes for his second uncle's place.

If I remember correctly, my second uncle took the old ginseng root that my family had obtained many years ago.

Even if there is anything left at this point, it will certainly not be much.

Besides, considering how my second uncle treated his siblings that day...

Ginseng is something you absolutely must not mention.

Otherwise, a complete breakdown in relations is inevitable.

……

“Junior brother, the one who tied the knot must untie it; this matter still requires your intervention.”

On this day, Cheng Feiyan appeared in the Li family's courtyard at the end of the 11 PM.

Upon entering, he looked me up and down with a strange expression.

At first, I was amazed that Li Xin, at such a young age, had accomplished such a great feat. But as I watched, something felt off.

She took a quick step, exuding a subtle fragrance, and approached Li Xin, gesturing to him before letting out a gasp.

"How is that possible? Junior brother, what kind of fertilizer did you eat?"

"Senior sister, Hongxiu is watching."

Feeling the bouncy texture, Li Xin rolled his eyes.

Senior Sister Feiyan is so generous; she doesn't act like a man at all.

"You little brat, how old are you? What's wrong with her looking at you?"

As soon as Cheng Feiyan said those words, she still felt something was off. She suddenly realized that her junior brother wasn't so young after all.

It's only been a short time, but he looks like a little adult.

"By the way, stop talking so much. Zhang Yuanhao is acting like his father has died. His eyes are red, and he looks like he wants to kill someone." Cheng Feiyan said with a resentful expression.

"They kept saying things like, 'It not only determines who is superior, but also decides life and death,' and kept asking their junior brother to step in."

No matter what my father says, he just won't listen. I just want to know what you mean. If you don't want to see me, then I'll ignore you.

That's because his father died.

Li Xin guessed that Huiyou Escort Agency might not have publicly revealed the truth.

Everyone is tacit.

After all, he was wearing a mask at the time, and it was Nezha, the Third Prince, who killed him. If they revealed it, not only would they lose face greatly, but they could also deny it.

But they didn't say anything, they just came to challenge me by name, leaving me with no reason to avoid the fight.

They all have a sense of shame.

Should I avoid your sharp edge?

"Have you sent a visiting card?"

"Sent, a death warrant..."

"Very well, if he wants war, then let's fight."

Li Xin sneered.

He had given Old Man Zhang a chance back then at the prefectural office.

Similarly, waiting for most of the day without going to the Cheng family's courtyard was also giving Zhang Yuanhao an opportunity.

Since he doesn't cherish it, then let him have it.

……

Chapter Fifty-One: The Master Bows Three Times

We arrived at Huashikou.

There were already dozens of people gathered in front of the Cheng family's Bagua Gate.

Each of them was sharp and imposing, carrying various weapons, yet they remained silent.

He stood quietly, his face as still as water.

Despite it being springtime, with flowers in full bloom and the warm sun shining down, it still makes one feel a chill in their heart.

The disciples of the Bagua Boxing School stood silently on the periphery, watching the scene unfold before them, wanting to approach but not daring to.

This is the scene that Li Xin saw as he walked along the street.

I also saw the worry in the eyes of my young disciples.

"Hehe, this is quite a frightening sight."

Li Xin chuckled.

He couldn't help but look curiously at Senior Sister Feiyan beside him.

What kind of madness is she to come and deliver a message with such a bright smile?

Don't they know their house is surrounded?

"It's even scarier inside."

Cheng Feiyan nodded.

His gaze fell on the ebony coffin in front of the door, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

When Li Xin entered the courtyard, he saw that six chairs had already been set up, and six people were sitting in them.

There was a square table in the middle of the chairs, with tea on it.

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, yet no one picked up a cup.

There was still one person who hadn't sat down.

This man was broad-shouldered and burly, standing a full 1.9 meters tall. He stood in the courtyard like a stone mountain, completely still.

He carried a large sword on his back, had a lion-like nose and a wide mouth, was about thirty years old, and had a powerful and imposing presence. He looked somewhat familiar.

What was most striking was not that he looked very much like the old bodyguard Zhang Shijie, but that he had a black band tied around his arm and a white cloth tied around his head.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the doorway.

He watched as Li Xin walked into the courtyard, his eyes wide and filled with murderous intent.

Li Xin could guess the man's identity; it must be Zhang Yuanhao, the aggrieved man who had come to demand an explanation.

I've heard that this person is a rising star of the [Huiyou Escort Agency].

He is rumored to be the next "God Fist".

As Zhang Shijie's eldest son, he learned the family's Tiger Soul Saber from a young age and later became a disciple of the Divine Fist Song Zhichao, mastering the essence of his fist techniques.

A set of Three Emperors Cannon Hammers once earned a reputation in the martial arts world of the North as "three punches are invincible, and one sword is hard to defend against".

Using the deadly move of "Master's Three Bows," he single-handedly stormed the enemy lines, breaking through the three strongholds of Biyun and killing forty-eight fierce bandits on the spot.

I heard that on the day he made his move, he didn't even draw his sword, relying solely on his fists to withstand the weapons.

Knives clashed and broke, guns struck and snapped; onlookers saw only corpses flying everywhere, but never saw him pause for a moment.

This is some information that Senior Sister Cheng Feiyan mentioned on the way.

It is said that this person's martial arts skills surpass even his father's.

Even against the Six Great Masters of the Capital, it's not impossible to put up a fight.

Some people suspect that he is only one step away from achieving mastery of internal energy, a sudden enlightenment.

Some say that he was born with a strong physique and amazing talent, and his combat strength is not necessarily much worse than that of the Six Greats.

"Disciple greets Master."

Li Xin entered the room, bowing deeply to the ground, performing all the proper courtesies. Just as he straightened up, he saw his master, Cheng Yuanhua, give him a subtle wink.

It seems they wanted to convey some message.

At the same time, he said, "This is Master Song, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of Huiyou, known as 'Divine Fist'; this is Master Wang, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of Yuanshun, known as 'Great Saber'; this is Master Tan, known as 'Golden Saber' of Yongxing; and Master Wu, known as 'Iron Arm' of Tongxing..."

"Those who travel the martial arts world to escort goods or protect others inevitably clash with each other due to their respective stances."

Generally speaking, people will give each other face when they introduce themselves. Even if it comes to war, they will still show some courtesy.

As the saying goes, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."

My disciple, I am filled with remorse for what happened this time. I only blame myself for not explaining things clearly to you beforehand. Indeed, it is the father's fault if he does not teach his son properly, for he did not teach him strictly enough…”

“Master, the fault is not yours, nor is the disciple’s. A true man stands between heaven and earth by relying on the sword and spear in his hand and the righteousness in his heart.”

If the road is uneven, someone will level it. If something is unfair, someone will take care of it.

The world is in turmoil, corrupt officials run rampant, and the people are suffering.

Some things, once they happen, cannot be ignored.

Some people, if they're meant to die, then they must die.

Li Xin suddenly looked up and spoke, interrupting Cheng Yuanhua's subsequent apology.

He knew what his master, Cheng Yuanhua, wanted to say.

The reason he was called over was not to make him actually fight to the death, but to offer his life and fortune as collateral, apologize, and try to let the matter drop.

If you should kowtow, then kowtow; if you should admit your mistakes, then admit your mistakes.
