Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 57 56 Eight Dragons, Water and Fire Secret Medicine

"Plum Blossom Thief? Is he famous?"

Li Cunxiao looked at Zhang Yuelu in confusion. After entering the city and returning to the escort agency, many people were talking about it.

But he used to be busy making a living and never paid attention to these idle gossips.

"It's more than just famous; it can be called infamous."

When Zhang Yuelu mentioned this matter, an undisguised look of disgust appeared on her face.

"This man is a skilled flower-stealing thief, but his methods are brutal. He has raped and murdered many innocent women in the city. His methods are extremely cruel."

"Three years ago, this man committed crimes repeatedly. Finally, he lost his mind and broke into the Murong residence. He was seriously injured by Murong Bo, the eldest son of the Murong family."

"But the county government has never given a definitive answer as to whether he escaped or died."

Zhang Yuelu was halfway through her words when several people had already passed through the corridor and the courtyard. Zhang Que'er popped out from somewhere, and when he saw Li Cunxiao, his head shrank and he quickly hid behind Shi Tie.

Ever since Li Cunxiao became Zhang Lishi's disciple, Zhang Que'er's life became difficult.

The little girl never dreamed that the servant she had found on a whim would now become the child of another family in the eyes of her father.

The private school teacher was full of praise for the clever and hardworking Mu Cha. In contrast, a certain naughty little girl brought shame to her old father.

Zhang Lishi was rarely ruthless and began to add burdens to Zhang Que'er, doubling his daily homework of calligraphy and reading, making the latter miserable.

Now, when she saw Li Cunxiao, Zhang Que'er was like seeing the plague god. She grabbed her sister and ran away.

"Que'er is really... Junior Brother, don't be offended. She has been spoiled by Master and has been like this since she was a child."

Shi Tie and Zhang Lishi were as close as father and son, and Shi Tie also married the eldest lady of the Zhang family. Their children were almost as old as Zhang Que'er.

To him, Zhang Que'er was no different from his daughter.

"Big Brother, you're worrying too much. I'm not the type to get angry at a child."

Li Cunxiao just smiled and changed the subject.

"Big Brother, I once heard that Murong Bo, the eldest son of the Murong family, is ranked alongside you as one of the best of the younger generation in Chuqiu, and is also one of the only two people to have broken through to the third level of internal organs."

"But not only do I hear absolutely no news on a daily basis, but when I asked Senior Brother Shen He and Senior Sister Jiang Qi about it, they were also very secretive. Is there something hidden?"

Shi Tie was silent for a moment before he whispered:

"Three years ago, Murong Bo broke through to the internal organs realm."

Ok?
When Li Cunxiao heard this, he thought of the news Zhang Yuelu had just said and immediately reacted.

Could it be that Murong Bo was injured during his fight with the Plum Blossom Bandits, causing his realm to become unstable? Or is he simply useless?
"Big brother!"

Mu Cha came running over, and after catching his breath, he said to Shi Tiecui:

"Big Brother!"

When Shi Tie saw Mu Cha's pretty face with red lips and white teeth, a smile appeared on his face. He reached into his arms and took out a silver longevity lock.

"I came here from the manor in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. My wife asked me to make a pair of longevity locks for my daughter, which is perfect."

Li Cunxiao wanted to decline, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said:
"Thank you very much, senior brother," he said, putting his hands under his armpits and picking up Mu Cha. Shi Tie just put the longevity lock on Mu Cha's neck.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Mu Cha has always been a sweet-talker, and he could make Shi Tie laugh with just a few words.

Li Cunxiao felt relieved for a moment.

As a courtesy, he gave up the Cloud-Taking Shoes, and Shi Tie naturally had to return the kindness.

If it was Li Sanlang from the restaurant before, he wouldn't dare to accept even a few taels of silver, let alone a longevity lock, because he didn't have the ability to repay the favor.

But now, the two brothers of the Li family are no longer the same as before. Not to mention a mere life lock, even if it is a shop in the inner city that makes a fortune every day, Li Cunxiao can straighten his back and eat it up!

"My master told me to tell you that the county government has sent the horses over and asked you to go over and take a look."

The legal advisor is Zhang Lishi.

Mu Cha said this, excitedly raising his hands and gesturing up and down:
"Brother, what a huge horse! Standing in the stable, it towers over the other horses! Its fur is so shiny black!"

A few words aroused their curiosity, and the three of them quickly came to the stable in Zhang's mansion.

There was some hay scattered on the ground. When I got closer, I could smell a faint smell of livestock, but overall it was still very clean.

Li Cunxiao looked over and immediately noticed the tall horse tied with an iron chain outside the stable.

Inside the stable, four or five horses huddled uneasily inside, like a flock of chickens facing a white crane.

These are not the poor horses used to pull the escort agency's carriages, but the fine horses carefully selected and raised by Zhang Lishi himself.

"As expected of a Pegasus, compared to an ordinary horse, it's almost like a demon."

Shi Yifu, the head of the Shi Biao team, rarely smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly as he surrounded the "celestial horse" that had been sent to him.

It was the first time that Li Cunxiao saw him like this. Except when facing Zhang Lishi, he was usually serious and acted as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This person is Zhang Lishi's loyal and devoted follower.

"Sanlang, Tiezi, come and see Murong Bai's precious Pegasus."

Zhang Lishi's tone was filled with joy.

Whether it was a horse or not was secondary. The two had been fighting openly and secretly for years. To be able to take a piece of each other's flesh made him happier than taking on one more escort mission.

The horse looked black from a distance, but when Li Cunxiao got closer and used the torch, he could clearly see the deep red reflected on it.

Deep red is close to black, which is dark in color.

Hot air was coming out of its white teeth. Facing so many people, the horse showed no fear and snorted from time to time.

Glossy fur, slender and strong limbs, a pair of bright eyes, and even a hint of the ferocity of a hungry tiger.

Perhaps only a horse like this can accompany its master across the brutal battlefield filled with blood and pestles.

"Good horse!"

Li Cunxiao liked it very much after just one look.

"Sanlang, since you don't have a groom at home, you can leave the horse with me. It's getting late today, so ride it tomorrow and test its horsepower."

"But even after years of domestication, horses like this, which are hybrids of demons, are still very aggressive. You'll need to spend more time to tame them."

Li Cunxiao was naturally delighted and bowed to Zhang Lishi and Shi Yifu in turn to express his gratitude. The latter just waved his hand and walked around the BMW, examining it, already calculating how many times a day he should feed it and what the right mix of feed should be.

As the saying goes, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. Caring for a war horse has always been a delicate job, let alone a horse with demonic blood.

Not only do they need to eat grass and bean feed, but they also need to be fed raw meat regularly. There are certain rules for how much they should eat and how many meals they should eat each day.

The house where Li Cunxiao lives now does not have a stable, and he cannot find a trustworthy groom, so he can only stay in Zhang's house for the time being.

Putting the matter of finding a new house on the agenda, Li Cunxiao planned to ask Mr. He about it in a few days.

The other party is a big grain merchant from the outer city with extensive connections, so he is the right person to handle these things.

It was getting late, and the master and his disciples chatted for a while. Li Cunxiao was about to say goodbye when the Ye family servant came in with the water and fire ointment.

Zhang Lishi just happened to take out the secret medicine of the Tiger Demon Fist and carefully instructed on how to use it. Li Cunxiao then carried the things and the wooden fork back to his own yard.

A good night's sleep.

As the sky gradually brightened, in the late autumn courtyard, Li Cunxiao was shirtless, revealing his broad chest and strong waist.

Mu Cha touched the muscles that felt like they were cast in copper and iron, his face full of admiration and yearning.

"Mu Cha, apply the water and fire ointment on big brother."

"it is good!"

Mu Cha held a wooden bowl in his left hand, which contained water and fire ointment diluted with liquid medicine.

Wearing a special leather glove on his right hand, he evenly applied the amber ointment that looked like malt sugar on Li Cunxiao's upper body.

While his brother was applying the medicine, Li Cunxiao took out the secret medicine that Zhang Lishi gave him last night.

Tiger bone chalcedony paste, tiger gall wine.

As the names suggest, one is for training bones and the other is for training muscles, and both are for internal use.

After mixing the two in a specific proportion, a strong medicinal smell spread in the yard, and Mu Cha couldn't help sneezing.

"Brother, it's ready."

Needless to say, Li Cunxiao felt the strange sensation coming from his upper body and knew that the medicine had taken effect.

Not daring to delay, he swallowed the mixture of spicy chalcedony paste and liquor in one gulp.

For internal or external use, the drug takes effect very quickly.

Within a minute, Li Cunxiao felt his muscles and bones all over his body were numb, itchy and burning, and his skin was alternating between hot and cold, as if he had been smeared with medicated oil and stayed in front of a stove, and it could crack at any time.

But when he felt the effect of tempering his qi and blood, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but feel happy.

The effect is more than twice as strong as eating demon meat alone!
There are three levels of muscle realm: muscles, bones, and membranes, which are called the three major trainings. Each training is divided into small success, great success, and perfection.

Because he used the vajra to break through, Li Cunxiao had an extremely solid foundation, and he could control the tiger demon at will, making the most of the medicinal power of the tiger demon insect medicine.

Therefore, once a breakthrough is made, the muscles and bones will be trained to a small extent.

However, the Tiger Demon Fist's iron-clad talent does not cover the membrane.

Therefore, it has been ten days since the breakthrough, and the effects of training the tendons and bones are still visible, but the speed of training the skin is much slower.

If he didn't rely on external force or use the vajra, Li Cunxiao estimated that it would take about half a year to achieve a certain level of success in practicing leather skills.

As for achieving great success and perfection, it will take three to four years of hard work.

In this case, it is no wonder that Shen He has been practicing for five or six years and has only achieved the second level of mastery.

But now, feeling the torment of ice and fire inside and outside his body, Li Cunxiao can clearly feel that the qi and blood are strengthening his skin with higher efficiency.

The time from getting started to achieving moderate success could probably be shortened to two or three months.

As for muscles and bones, Chalcedony Paste and Dali Wine are also very effective and can increase efficiency by half again.

Considering that he already has the bonus of being strong as steel, it is already quite remarkable.

As if to repay Li Cunxiao for the Cloud-Stepping Shoes, Shi Tie promised him last night that he would hunt a second-level tiger demon before the end of the year.

When the time comes, we will skin and bones the tigers and ask Mr. Zhang Li to prepare higher quality chalcedony paste and tiger bone wine.

"It's easier to get things done with someone behind you."

After the effect of the medicine gradually wore off, Li Cunxiao poured some cold water on his body and wiped it, feeling the relaxation of his muscles, bones and skin.

As it stretches, the muscles become twisted and the skin becomes taut like a bow, ready to unleash terrifying power at any moment.

In addition to the Tiger Demon Fist, he has not put down the Sixteen Hands of Pure Yang in the past few days.

With experience in practicing from qi and blood to muscles and tendons, Li Cunxiao did not spend much effort to start practicing this martial art.

However, the more you practice, the more time and energy you will have to devote to it.

Li Cunxiao planned to stop for a while. He had a guess in his mind about the use of the vajra.

The higher the realm, the more evil energy the vajra needs.

Then on the other hand, if he only breaks through low-level martial arts, with the current evil energy capacity of his vajra, will the consumption be less?

Practicing martial arts is like feeding a child. Tiger Demon Fist is already a strong young man. If he wants to grow, he must consume a lot of meat, eggs and milk.

And Chunyang Sixteen Hands is still just a toddler. Can he finish a table full of dishes like the Vajra?

"It's time to move to a new yard and hire some honest servants. Otherwise, when Mu Cha returns home, he won't even have hot water for a bath."

Thinking about practicing martial arts and daily necessities, Li Cunxiao walked into the escort agency with his brother in the morning light.

"Third Master!"

"Mr. Li San, good morning!"

The guys along the way greeted him respectfully and eagerly, and Li Cunxiao responded with a smile.

Now that he has become an instructor, apart from anything else, all the young men in the escort agency who are eager to learn martial arts respect him very much.

They all hope that one day they will fall in love with each other and learn a few tricks from each other so that they can become bodyguards as soon as possible.

"Brother Li!"
