Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises.

Chapter 18 The Source of Potential Points
Looking at the newly appeared Iron Arm Fist, Qin Jiang had a puzzled look in his eyes.

I don't need to practice it myself, can I just read through martial arts and have a certain understanding of it to add points?

Thinking of this, he put down the boxing manual and took out paper and pen from under the table.

'The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao'

After a moment he put down the pen and spread out the paper.

Looking at the potential panel,

【Current Martial Arts】

Longevity Five Qigong (First Level) (2/250)

Iron Arm Fist (Not yet qualified) (5/100)

Tao Te Ching (Not yet introduced) (1/1000000000)

[Potential Points: 2.8]

hiss~
One billion! Ten million potential points!
He rubbed his brows, faced the reality, and turned off the Tao Te Ching on the panel, still focusing his attention on the Iron Arm Fist.

Just to get started you need 100 experience points, which shows the gap between it and the Five Animal Play.

He was not in a hurry to add points, because according to the records in the boxing manual, it was not too difficult to just get started, and it was not worth wasting potential points.

Right now, there is no stable source of potential points, so we must try our best to ensure that they are used to the best effect.

For example, when you are about to break through, you can directly use the potential points to break through the bottleneck period, or use them in the final martial arts deduction.

He stood up and walked to the window. The night wind blew his hair as he carefully recalled the battle he had today with the two fox demons.

Apart from being affected by the illusion at the beginning, his performance during the actual battle was not good enough. No, it was far from enough.

The sword is not drawn simply enough, and the attack angle is more based on feeling rather than finding the vital position.

If you can stop pursuing the kill and instead cut off the limbs first, it won't be so difficult after being injured.

Moreover, during the battle, he did not predict or deduce the fox demon's attack. If he could do this well, with the sharpness of the black water, he might be able to kill it without any injury.

He clenched his fist slightly.
"My combat awareness is too poor, and I am far from being able to fully demonstrate my strength."

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly. He knew that combat awareness was something that could only be improved after experiencing enough battles.

What he actually lacks is this aspect, and he does not have many opportunities for actual combat.

In this case, his current goal should be to focus on improving his physical strength in order to increase his tolerance.

In other words, one must practice the Iron Arm Fist diligently, and use the Iron Arm Fist in conjunction with the Five Qigong of Immortality. Even if one encounters someone stronger than oneself, it will be enough to wear down the opponent.

He closed the window, blew out the candle and lay down on the bed, wondering why his potential points increased.

As of now, it can be roughly divided into two types. The first one is that when the fox demon is killed, the potential points are directly increased without any absorption process.

But when he subsequently killed another fox demon and the transformed fox demon, it was shown that the potential points did not come from the fox demon itself, but had another source, which he could not find out yet.

The second type is the absorption type of potential point, which absorbs when touching the tombstone, the statue and the scroll.

If there is one thing in common, it is that they are all inanimate objects; he is not sure about the rest.

All in all, there must be something in common between these two potential points, but he has not thought of it yet.

After a while, he really couldn't figure it out, and pulled the quilt to cover his belly button in frustration.

The next morning, Qin Jiang arrived at Baiyun Medical Clinic early.

Baiyun Clinic was not open today. The old doctor was sitting in front of the clinic with a bag on his back.

Seeing Qin Jiang coming, he stood up and waved.

"You're here, shall we go?"

Qin Jiang looked at the skinny and even somewhat dry old doctor and couldn't help but said, "Old doctor, how about I go and get her back?"

He actually still felt a little guilty about killing the old doctor's old lover... uh... old love demon.

"No need. I just look old. Actually, my health is better than that of the average adult." The old doctor rejected Qin Jiang's proposal.

He had no intention of bringing Shuang'er back. The situation in Black Mountain City was not peaceful at the moment. If he brought her back, he would not be able to take good care of her.

It’s better to stay in Dahei Mountain. Although it’s a bit quiet, at least no one will disturb us.

"Okay then." Qin Jiang didn't say anything more.

The two men left Black Mountain City and headed straight for the Great Black Mountain. At the beginning, Qin Jiang was still controlling his speed, fearing that the old doctor could not keep up.

But after walking for a while, he found that the old doctor was not only unable to keep up, but he was not even out of breath, so he immediately quickened his pace.

Less than an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the blood gold mine cave.

"It's right inside." Qin Jiang said.

The old doctor looked at the mine, hesitated, and looked a little nervous. After a long while, he spoke, "Let's go." He walked into the mine and walked forward for a while. The candlelight at the end was still bright. The old doctor walked over quickly, and his body froze when he saw the figure.

He thought about seeing each other again many times, but he never expected that when the time came, they would be separated by the Yin and Yang.

Walking closer, he stretched out his wrinkled hand and gently touched Shuang'er's cheek.

Silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, a new tombstone had been erected in the mine.

The old doctor carved the inscription himself, took out two garlic cloves from his pocket and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Qin Jiang leaned against the statue nearby, watching the old doctor pay homage.

After the worship, the old doctor stood up and said, "Let's go back."

Qin Jiang nodded and pushed the statue to stand up.

[Potential points absorbed. 0.10.20.2]

???

He looked back at the statue, and its lifelike face seemed to be smiling.

what's the situation?
Looking at the statue, he suddenly remembered that when he touched the statue yesterday, it was in a fantasy and he had never actually touched the statue in reality.

The old doctor looked at Qin Jiang, who was puzzled, and glanced at the statue. "This is a statue of a fox fairy, an immortal ancestor in the fox clan legend. Setting up this statue for worship is a kind of inner sustenance."

Hearing the word "rely on", Qin Jiang was struck by lightning, and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

Spirit, belief, tombstone, thoughts and sustenance! Yes! It is sustenance!
The source of absorbing potential points is the inner sustenance of living beings!
Be it a tombstone, a statue of a deity, or even a portrait, they all have potential because they contain the inner aspirations of living beings!

In that case.
He already had some plans and would try them out after returning.

If this is feasible, he will gain a lot of potential points!
He placed his hand on the statue, and after a moment the potential points were absorbed, with the total reaching 4.8.

"We're back"

Qin Jiang opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking he suddenly raised his head and looked at the fox fairy statue with surprise.

"What's wrong?" asked the old doctor.

Qin Jiang shook his head, "Nothing, shall we go back?"

The moment he absorbed the potential points, he clearly felt a sense of being watched.

He didn't know the source of the feeling of being watched, but his intuition told him that it came from the fox fairy statue.

"Okay, it's time to go back and collect the herbs we prepared a few days ago."

At noon, in Heishan City, at Li’s Pawnshop in the south of the city.

There is a big red couplet posted outside the pawnshop, which reads "Joy is rising at the beginning of the new business, and peace and good fortune are the best wishes."

The counter inside the door, which was almost two meters above the ground, was sealed with a fence, and one could only see inside through the gaps between the wooden bars.

The ticket counter inside was recording the tickets, and Chao Feng was sitting upright beside him, looking at a mink cloak in front of him.

"Write~ A tattered dog-skin coat, dirty, old, worn, full of grease and mud, eaten by bugs and bitten by rats, bare without any fur~"

"Hey! Shut up! What are you yelling about?! Don't you have eyes?!"

Standing under the counter was a middle-aged man in cloth clothes with an angry look on his face.

"Of course it is~" Chaofeng pushed the sable cloak in front of him forward, drew out the words, and glanced sideways at the front.

The middle-aged man frowned, hesitated for a moment, and waved his hand, "Ding ding ding! Hurry up and pay!"

"3 taels of silver, 3% interest, 24 months in current term"

After saying that, Chao Feng folded the cloak and put it away, "The tattered coat is collected~"

The ticket counter nearby immediately handed over a wooden tray with the pawn ticket and the pawn money on it.

"The pawn ticket is paid. The pawn money is paid."

The court official pushed the wooden tray forward and said, "Three ounces of silver, please keep it."

The middle-aged man angrily picked up the silver and the pawn ticket, put them in his arms, and turned away.

Qin Jiang walked into the pawnshop, and the clerk looked over and said, "Young master, you are here."

Qin Jiang nodded, "Let's go shopping. Do you have any good stuff?"

After much thought, things that contain potential are most likely antiques.

He actually planned to go to an antique shop to have a look, but unfortunately, there was no antique shop in the outer city, only this pawnshop opened by Mr. Li.
