Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 79 Baicao Hall

"Are you practicing the Five Animal Exercises?"

Mei Weixuan looked at Zhong Lin, who was imitating a tiger and then a monkey in the open space, with a strange look on his face.

"you know too?"

"I know. I saw Master Yin practice it before, and I even tried to learn it for a few days, but it got too boring and I gave up. It's just a health-preserving exercise. Long-term practice can only prolong your life at best. I don't know why Master Yin has such a special liking for this set of exercises. It's better to just move more Qi and blood, not as practical as this health-preserving exercise."

Mei Weixuan said casually.

Zhong Lin paused what he was doing, looked at Mei Weixuan deeply, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

This guy really doesn't know that he has stumbled into a treasure trove!

The Five Animal Exercises is indeed just a health-preserving exercise. Even if you practice it until death, it is probably not as powerful as a body-building exercise. At most, it can only help you live longer.

Zhong Lin also discovered the secret of this technique through the system panel.

"Five Animal Exercises" is an incomplete version. To be more precise, it should be a prerequisite for a certain set of exercises. Only after practicing "Five Animal Exercises" to a certain level can one practice its subsequent exercises.

Moreover, the Five Animal Exercises does have the effect of tempering the body and nourishing the soul. Years of practice can continuously improve one's aptitude. This is why Yin Daoyan has always said that his aptitude is mediocre, and he has stepped into the upper third level with the help of this technique.

Although it is unclear what his subsequent skills are, the mere improvement of aptitude is enough for Zhong Lin to work hard on. After all, he only practices three times a day, which is only about the time of an incense stick. In this way, his aptitude can be slowly changed. What else can he do?
Zhong Lin's own qualifications can only be described as average, above average. The reason why he practiced so fast was all thanks to the system plug-in, plus sufficient resources and continuous elixirs. Now there is a way to improve his qualifications. Although it is a bit slow, he must not miss it.

After completing the last movement, Zhong Lin put away his stance and slowly exhaled.

"How long will it take us to reach Tianyang County?" Zhong Lin asked.

"At our current pace, we'll arrive in three days."

"It's finally here. If it's any slower, I won't have enough Qi and Blood Pills."

"Brother, it's time to eat."

Not far away, the sound of Xiao Shitou came.

"Let's go!"

"Walk."

The two of them did not stop and walked towards the campfire.

……

Three days flew by.

As the carriage moved forward, a huge city appeared in front of everyone.

The city is dozens of feet high, and the green bricks and stones all show traces of time. Soldiers are guarding the city gate, and pedestrians are coming and going. The words "Tianyang" are written on the city gate.

Through the city gate, you can see the tall houses, wide streets, singing birds, busy traffic, shops and commercial buildings in the city, countless tens of miles long, prosperous like a raging fire.

Compared with this, Heishan County seems like a small, shabby market.

"How is it? Spectacular, right?"

Mei Weixuan patted Zhong Lin's shoulder and shouted excitedly: "Cuicui, Pingping, Honghong, Yanyan, I'm back."

Snapped!
A strong wind blew and hit Mei Weixuan directly on the back of the head, causing him to fall off the carriage and land on the ground despite being still excited.

Mei Weixuan was not angry. He patted the dirt off his body and climbed back into the carriage with a smile.

"Let's go into the city."

He urged the carriage forward and slowly drove towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate and pedestrians on the road quickly moved out of the way upon seeing the carriage. The two tall horses in front made them feel the difference in status, and they were afraid of disturbing the distinguished guests. Zhong Lin sat in the carriage and looked around with interest. The streets were paved with white stones and had drainage ditches on both sides, which made the streets look very clean. Although it was not spotless, it was still very fresh.

There are various shops on both sides, each of which is decorated extremely exquisitely, and behind them are manors or high-rise buildings.

After crossing the bridge, it feels like entering a pedestrian street, with stalls on both sides, and a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the atmosphere is bustling.

Even Little Stone was attracted by the sound. He pushed aside the curtain to look, and made all kinds of "wa wah" sounds from time to time.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a shop. The shop occupied an entire street. It had tall houses, green walls, several tall bluestone qilins, and guards wearing yellow vests, meticulous and muscular, standing at the door.

Each of these guards is an entry-level warrior, and the leader is a master of the seventh-grade Bone Tempering Realm.

There is a huge plaque hanging above this shop.

Baicaotang.

The three large characters, written in a vigorous and majestic style, are obviously the work of a famous calligrapher.

As the carriage stopped, a large crowd poured out of Baicaotang. Leading them was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, his face full of joy.

Mei Weixuan also jumped off the carriage, bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Deng."

Deng Yunsheng looked at Mei Weixuan with a smile on his face and said, "You little naughty monkey, have you been neglecting Master Yin along the way?"

"Look at what you said. Even if I had two more guts, I wouldn't dare to do it."

Mei Weixuan kept crying out for injustice.

While the two were talking, Zhong Lin lifted the curtain and Gu Yourong got out of the carriage holding Xiao Shitou.

"Meet Mr. Deng."

Gu Yourong bowed and saluted.

"Yourong! You've worked hard along the way."

"It is a blessing for Rong to accompany Master Yin on his journey. How can it be described as hard work?" Gu Yourong chuckled.

Deng Yunsheng also saw the little stone in Gu Yourong's hand, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and was about to ask. At this time, Zhong Lin supported Yin Daoyan and carefully got off the carriage.

"Master Yin, you are finally back."

Deng Yunsheng hurried forward and saluted.

Yin Daoyan nodded: "Did anything happen at home while I was away?"

Deng Yunsheng's face tensed, and he whispered, "Someone from the sect has arrived. They've been waiting at Miaoshou Garden. Master Yin, has the Blood Demon Cult truly revived?"

"It's not clear yet, but we've found traces of the Blood Soul Pill this time. Old Deng, go and arrange accommodation for Zhong Lin. I'll go to Miaoshou Garden first." Yin Daoyan said.

"Zhong Lin?"

Deng Yunsheng shifted his gaze to Zhong Lin and Xiao Shitou. He only didn't recognize the Zhong Lin brothers here.

Zhong Lin stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My name is Zhong Lin, nice to meet you, Mr. Deng."

On the way here, Mei Weixuan gave Zhong Lin a brief introduction to Baicaotang. The most senior person was naturally the hall master, and under the hall master were two major managers. The Deng Yunsheng in front of him was the manager in charge of all affairs of Baicaotang, and the other manager was in charge of the sale of elixirs and the purchase of herbs.

The two men, one inside and one outside, are Yin Daoyan's right-hand men, helping him manage all the miscellaneous affairs of Baicaotang.

"This is my new disciple."
