Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

Although Li Huai-ren wanted to become a plagiarist to make another fortune and hoard copyrights, he did not immediately start copying books. Instead, he told Ye San-niang and went to a newly opened traditional Chinese medicine clinic at the foot of the mountain.

His purpose in going to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic was simple: he wanted to get a prescription and medicine from the doctor to properly regulate his body.

Li Huai-ren strongly suspected that his body was suffering from mild kidney deficiency, and that he needed to take immediate action to strengthen his body's foundation and replenish his vital energy.

Otherwise, all those beauties like Xia Yufanghong, Xianzhenminxin, and Zhilianxuetong would be beyond my reach. I could only watch as Liu Daxiong and his ilk dated one after another, playing with one after another. And that golf ball... cough cough cough...

At the foot of Bijia Mountain, there is a small tiled house with only two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The front yard is a small garden of about 400 square feet (about 30 square meters). A sign hangs at the entrance of the yard with the five large characters "Chen's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic" written on it.

When Li Huai-ren pushed open the door, there was only an old Taoist priest with completely white hair and beard, dressed in a Taoist robe, in the Chen family's Chinese medicine clinic.

The old Taoist priest glanced at him, his pupils immediately contracting, but he quickly regained his composure, smiled, and said to him in heavily accented Mandarin from the Longhu Mountain area of ​​Jiangxi:

"Young man, you're here to see Dr. Chen, right?"

Unfortunately, Dr. Chen just went to Hong Kong Island. The old master of the Bao family wasn't feeling well, and the Bao family sent a driver to pick him up. We don't know when he'll be back.

Seeing that the doctor at the clinic wasn't there, Li Huai-ren, who only wanted to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to treat his health, and had only come here because it was the closest clinic to his home (not because he absolutely needed it), smiled and said:

"It's alright, I just wanted to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to regulate my body. Since Dr. Chen isn't here, I'll just walk a little further to the clinic up ahead."

After saying this, he nodded politely to the old Taoist priest and turned to leave.

Seeing that he had already reached the courtyard gate, the old Taoist priest, who had hesitated for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"If young brother simply wants to improve his health, then I, Zhang Quanyi, do know a thing or two. I think you want to replenish your kidney essence, don't you?"

Li Huai-ren was taken aback, then overjoyed! The Taoist priest, through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, knew he needed to replenish his kidney essence with just one glance. This Taoist priest truly had some skill!

He doesn't even look at his current wretched state; anyone could tell he's been ruined by alcohol and sex.

He subconsciously overlooked this point and immediately turned to the old Taoist priest, saying:

"Yes, yes, I just want to replenish my kidney essence."

The old Taoist priest looked him over carefully for a few moments before letting him sit down at the medical table and taking his pulse.

A dozen minutes later, the old Taoist priest who had taken Li Huai-ren's pulse in both hands suddenly opened his eyes and said:

"How perilous! If you had met me a few days later, your two kidneys would probably be ruined, and even a celestial being couldn't help you."

After speaking, the old Taoist priest looked him over again:

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're only sixteen or seventeen, right? But you've been having sex for at least two years. You're courting death!"

He said this aloud, but in his heart he thought:

"Alas, every sip and every bite is preordained; otherwise, he wouldn't have come into this world. But I wonder what his character is like. Should I pass on to him that health-preserving method that specifically nourishes the kidneys?"

"Alright, let's prescribe a kidney-tonifying formula for him first, then pass on the first half of that health-preserving method to him. We'll observe him for a while before deciding on the second half."

The old Taoist priest then prescribed a formula for Li Huai-ren, picked up some medicine, and, under the pretext that Li Huai-ren needed to exercise as an aid, taught him a few movements and the breathing techniques to coordinate with those movements.

The movements are very simple, and the breathing method is not complicated either. It's just a matter of how long you inhale and exhale. Roughly, inhale for three seconds, then hold your breath for eight seconds, and finally exhale for twelve seconds, repeating the cycle. You can learn it in no time.

Since Doctor Chen was not present, and the old Taoist priest was unsure of the value of the medicine, he asked Li Huai-ren to decide on the consultation fee and medicine cost.

Li Huai-ren smiled and said nothing. He only had a hundred-dollar bill on him, but he didn't bother to argue and simply left one hundred Hong Kong dollars as a consultation fee and medicine cost.

Back home, Li Huai-ren gave the Chinese medicine to Ye San-niang, telling her that he needed to drink the medicine to regulate his body and asking her to help him decoct the medicine.

When Ye San Niang heard Li Huai Ren say that he wanted to drink Chinese medicine to regulate his body, she was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. She quickly took the medicine and went to the kitchen to decoct it for him.

Li Huai-ren checked the time and saw that it was only a little past nine in the morning. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go back to his room to change into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. He would first exercise in the back garden of the villa and practice the military boxing he had learned from his instructors during his military training in his previous life.

Although the Li family villa is an old villa, it was purchased by Li Huai-ren's father more than ten years ago from a high-ranking Hong Kong government official who had been transferred back to England.

The villa occupies a huge area, more than 20,000 square feet, especially the back garden, which is more than 8,000 square feet. It has not only a swimming pool, but also a tennis court and a small soccer field.

After performing a set of military boxing exercises several times, Li Huai-ren was already panting heavily and drenched in sweat, so he had to take a break.

During the break, Li Huai-ren suddenly remembered the movements and breathing techniques taught by the Taoist priest Zhang Quan-yi, and began to practice them.

When Li Huai-ren practiced these movements for the first time, he felt nothing at all, and he even suspected that he had been fooled by that old Taoist priest Zhang Quan-yi.

But when he practiced these movements a second time, he felt his body start to warm up, especially his lower back where his kidneys were located.

As he practiced, he felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring at around 40 degrees Celsius, feeling indescribably comfortable all over his body.

He immediately understood:

"These movements and breathing techniques are definitely not simple. I'm so impressed, could it be some kind of profound Taoist skill?"

But then he thought about it again and realized that these movements were similar to the radio calisthenics he had practiced in his previous life. If they were really some profound Taoist technique, how could that be?

He didn't think too much about it; since it felt comfortable to practice, he would just practice it a few more times.

At noon, Li Huai-ren had a great appetite and, for the first time in recent years, devoured all the food prepared by Ye San-niang.

When Ye San Niang saw this, she was overjoyed and quickly went back to her room to call Li Ya Wen and tell her about it.

After finishing lunch and drinking a pot of tea, Li Huai-ren went back to his room to take a shower. Just then, someone called him.

The person who called him was none other than one of his cronies, Zhao Shiseng (Zeng), who was known in his previous life as "the one who killed a thousand men and ten thousand men".

As soon as Li Huai-ren picked up the phone, Zhao Shi-seng on the other end said impatiently:

"Ah Ren, don't say I'm not good to you today. Several fresh-faced Japanese girls have just arrived at the Jade Palace."

When the madam of the Jade Palace, Big Boobs, called me, I told her to leave all of us here. Don't argue with me tonight, okay? There are seven Japanese girls, I'll take five and you take two.

You haven't looked well these past few days. I was worried you couldn't handle it, hahaha...
