Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Exercise: Ancient Yang Gong (Completed)

The Ancient Yang Skill was finally perfected by the clone!

Looking again in the mirror, the clone's cultivation movements were indeed even more fluid and graceful.

"Try combining it with medicinal cuisine..."

Shen Han took the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water to the mirror.

Gudu!

The clone drank it all in one gulp.

The next moment, under the influence of the medicine, the perfected Ancient Yang Skill became incredibly effective. With each breath, Shen Han could feel his body changing.

Mirror owner: Shen Han

Cultivation level: Flesh Refining

Exercise: Ancient Yang Gong (Completed)

Martial Arts: Raging Dragon Fist (Perfected), Sky-Splitting Blade Technique (Perfected)

Skill: Medical Skills (Perfect)

Although his cultivation level is still at the flesh refinement stage, his strength has increased by about 1,000 jin in the past half month, reaching a terrifying number of more than 2,500 jin.

"Breakthrough to the Tendon Refining stage is just around the corner!"

Shen Han gasped for breath, savoring the unparalleled experience.

Thanks to the perfection of the Sky-Splitting Blade Technique and the Raging Dragon Divine Fist, he can currently be considered invincible within the Flesh Refining Realm. After all, the martial arts techniques of other Flesh Refining Realm warriors are at most at the Great Perfection stage, and cannot be as refined as his.

"Right now, I could take on two Du Chongs at the same time without any problem."

Shen Han analyzed his own strength, "Let alone the Flesh Refining Realm, I can even put up a fight against the early stage of the Tendon Refining Realm."

The problem is, there are still ten servings of the medicinal diet left.

It will be gone in ten days; we must find another way to purchase the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Strengthening Water.

Shen Han counted his money; his entire fortune amounted to about seventy taels.

"Even if there were a way, I estimate I could only buy seven or eight portions."

We must earn more money in the future, otherwise we will not be able to support the supply of medicinal cuisine.

However, the clinic has almost reached its profit limit.

This is true; his monthly salary has increased to thirty taels, and he often has opportunities to earn commissions from outpatient consultations. However, even so, making big money is a pipe dream.

"Perhaps we need to think of a way..."

As he was talking to himself, his clone's thoughts came through, and he hurriedly looked in the mirror.

The clone stopped cultivating and pointed to its stomach.

"Is there not enough food?"

Shen Han asked tentatively.

The clone nodded.

"What the heck..." Shen Han was stunned. He knew that the daily food expenses for his clone were already 250 coins, and it still wasn't enough.

A moment later, with the gestures made by the clone, Shen Han understood.

The clone made a request: because the Ancient Yang Skill had been perfected, the subsequent cultivation required a great deal of energy, and it was necessary to replenish sufficient nutrition. It was required to eat venison at every meal, and it had to be eaten now!

"I give up!"

Shen Han was helpless.

He secretly calculated that eating venison every meal would cost more than three hundred coins a day. In other words, his clone would consume one tael of silver every three days. Calling him a money-devouring beast was no exaggeration!

But he had no choice but to comply.

Without food, his clone could not cultivate, so for his own sake, he opened the door and rushed into the night.

Half an hour later, he brought out a large bag of venison.

Fortunately, he had recently become acquainted with the butcher, otherwise no one would open the shop to do business with him in the middle of the night.

"Young Master Lin, is that you?"

Suddenly, a young man approached, none other than Lin Tanzhi, the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Fukang镖局 (escort agency).

"So it was Physician Shen."

Lin Tanzhi smiled faintly.

Shen Han, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that there were many bloodstains on Lin Tanzhi's long robe.

Has he gone off to right wrongs again?

"Young Master Lin, you..."

"I'm fine. I just went outside the city and killed a few lewd monks."

Lin Tanzhi coughed a few times, interrupting, "Doctor Shen, I have important business to attend to tonight, let's talk later."

After saying this, Lin Tanzhi hurriedly left.

Watching his disappearing figure, Shen Han wondered to himself: Why does it feel like Young Master Lin has something on his mind? Could it be that their Fukang Escort Agency has encountered some troublesome matter?

Forget it, that's not something I should be thinking about.

The important thing is to hurry back, cook the venison, and hand it over to the clone!

……

"Hanshan, are you sure this is it?"

At this very moment, at the corner of an alley separating the small courtyard in the east of the city, two men are talking in hushed tones.

One of them was none other than Peng Hanshan, the top disciple of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School.

The other was a middle-aged man with a thick beard.

"Father-in-law, it's almost certainly true."

Peng Hanshan spoke respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked towards the small courtyard from afar and said, "It's truly unbelievable that a doctor would get that brick. It's utterly ridiculous. Hanshan, I hope this trip won't be a waste of my time."

Peng Hanshan hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, I have investigated this thoroughly over the past two weeks."

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

"Liu Yuan and the night watchman both died tragically one after another. I once heard the night watchman mention that the murderer was an extremely ugly person."

"ugly?"

"Father-in-law, you must have heard that half a month ago, Du Chong, the young leader of the Black Dragon Gang, and Cao Lin, the young leader of the Green Robe Gang, were both killed in the villa in Shiniu Town."

"and then?"

Rumors circulate that the murderer was a middle-aged, ugly man.

Peng Hanshan said, word by word.

The middle-aged man turned around: "You mean, the ugly man who killed Liu Yuan and the night watchman was also him? Could Han Shan's death just be a coincidence?"

"Father-in-law, hasn't your Black Wind Stronghold discussed this matter?"

"As the third leader of Black Wind Stronghold, I, Zhuge Yan, am busy with countless affairs every day. How could I possibly have time to concern myself with such trivial matters?"

"Yes, yes..."

Peng Hanshan hurriedly said, "Later, I accidentally found out that Shen Han, the doctor of Xuanhu Medical Clinic, and his apprentice Feng Hao went to Shiniu Town to see patients half a month ago."

It is said that he went to the Green Robe Gang to treat a big shot.

The two young gang leaders were stabbed to death during the few days they were in Stone Ox Town.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan said, "Two people taking pulses and treating illnesses, do they have the ability to kill?"

Peng Hanshan said, "So I suspect that one of them is skilled in martial arts, but he wears a mask when he fights, so that he can deceive everyone and keep his identity hidden."

"mask?"

Zhuge Yan said in a deep voice.

Peng Hanshan took two steps closer and said, "Father-in-law, this afternoon, I went to the clinic to investigate. That apprentice, Feng Hao, is just an ordinary scoundrel and has no suspicion. However, he was evasive about the incident and clearly wanted to hide something."

"So, the real mastermind behind this is Doctor Shen Han?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay, that makes sense and is well-founded. You truly are my good son-in-law."

Zhuge Yan laughed and said, "Hanshan, let me ask you, this news is of great importance, have you told your master and mistress?"

Peng Hanshan kept assuring him, "Father-in-law, don't worry. My master is still in seclusion at the martial arts school, and my master's wife doesn't manage things. I overheard about the brick incident outside their room; they didn't find out at all."

"here you go!"

"Father-in-law, my heart has always been with you. Once we get that brick and find a way to accelerate our cultivation, your skill will surely soar. Then we'll kill Master and Mistress and make you the head of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School!"

"I know you're filial... Hey, someone's coming from over there!"
