Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

At the entrance of Shiyang Town, under the poplar tree.

The people thronged around, spontaneously forming a large circle, three layers deep, so crowded that it was impossible to move.

A wooden platform was set up in the crowd.

In the center of the wooden platform sat a middle-aged Taoist priest in a black robe. He had a kind face and a touch of heroism in his brows. Two young Taoist boys, one on each side, were fanning the middle-aged Taoist priest with soft cattail leaf fans.

"Is he the Immortal Master?"

Outside the crowd, Shen Han looked around while whispering a question to an old man beside him.

The old man said, "Yes, this is the second time that Taoist Sanmiao has come to Shiyang Town. You know what, he is really amazing. People who have contracted the plague can have their pain and symptoms greatly relieved after eating his ginseng fruit."

"Help, Immortal Master!"

At this moment, a woman rushed forward and bowed repeatedly to the Taoist Sanmiao on the platform.

On her back was a child who looked seven or eight years old.

The child was foaming at the mouth.

"Don't panic, don't panic, let me take a look first."

The Taoist Sanmiao gestured to the two young disciples, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, bring that child over."

"Thank you, Immortal Master..."

The woman was immediately moved to tears.

The next moment, the Taoist Sanmiao got up from his seat and pried open the child's eyes and mouth to examine him.

Everyone watched intently.

Soon, the Taoist Sanmiao made a judgment: "Madam, this child has been poisoned very deeply. According to my estimation, he can only live for a maximum of twelve hours."

"No!"

The woman immediately burst into tears, kowtowing repeatedly, "Please, Immortal Master, save my son!"

The Taoist Sanmiao stepped forward and helped the woman up.

"Don't worry, the ginseng fruit I developed has a miraculous effect on this child's poison."

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist Qingfeng took out a small box.

Inside the box was a white fruit, about the size of a baby's fist, with a peculiar shape.

Does it really work?

The woman was already restless, her eyes brimming with tears.

The Taoist Master Sanmiao laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, Madam, you can have the child eat it right away and see."

Upon hearing this, the woman accepted the ginseng fruit.

He bit off a piece of fruit and, in full view of everyone, fed it to the child little by little.

"Look, the child's complexion is improving!"

"Yes, yes, it's regained its color."

"And his convulsing body stopped shaking."

"That's amazing!"

Instantly, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Everyone could clearly see that after the woman ate the ginseng fruit, her son's condition visibly improved.

The woman was overjoyed and extremely excited: "Thank you, Immortal Master! How much is this fruit worth?"

"Not expensive, five taels of silver each."

The Taoist Sanmiao said, "However, your son's condition is rather poor, and one ginseng fruit is not enough. You would better buy another one to take home and eat tonight."

The woman pulled out all the silver she had on her: "Master, I only have nine taels..."

"It's alright."

The Taoist Sanmiao waved his hand and said, "Nine taels it is. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I am only saving lives, not making money. Qingfeng, give him the ginseng fruit."

"Yes, Master."

And so the woman paid nine taels of silver.

She left happily with her son and the ginseng fruit.

For a moment, the people exclaimed in amazement, praising the Taoist Sanmiao's divine skills and kindness. Some even thought that it was fortunate that Taoist Sanmiao came to Shiyang Town at the critical moment!

"Master, please take a look at my father..."

"And my wife..."

"It's mine first, let me see it first..."

Everyone was scrambling and jostling, afraid of missing out on the ginseng fruit; the scene was incredibly lively.

Shen Han, watching from afar, sneered inwardly.

This so-called Taoist Sanmiao is obviously a charlatan. His so-called ginseng fruit is clearly just carved from an ordinary radish, as anyone can see with a little observation.

As for the woman and the child, there are two possibilities.

First, they were shills.

If that's the case, it means that the Taoist Sanmiao is a fraud, using radishes as a miracle cure to swindle money from ordinary people.

Secondly, the child was indeed poisoned.

In this situation, the problem becomes even more serious. The child's health has indeed improved, proving that the antidote must have been added to the radish. But how could the Taoist Sanmiao have foreseen and prepared the antidote? Thinking deeper, the Taoist Sanmiao might actually be the mastermind behind the plague in Shiyang Town!

"Sanmiao, you evil Taoist priest!"

It's too late to say.

A loud voice came from afar.

Shen Han recognized the voice; it was none other than Daoist Xuan Yangzi, whom he had met several times before!

Everyone turned their heads.

Xuan Yangzi, dressed in a yellow robe, leaped onto the wooden platform with a look of rage in his eyes.

"Who is this Taoist priest?"

The Taoist Master Sanmiao remained cheerful.

Whoosh!

Xuan Yangzi drew his long sword, his anger barely contained: "Sanmiao, first you deliberately poisoned and murdered the people in our town, and now you're pretending to sell medicine to make money. What are you really up to?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately spoke up to rebuke them.

The Taoist Sanmiao remained calm and slowly said, "Master, do you seem to have misunderstood me?"

"Yes, Immortal Master Sanmiao is a good person."

"Master Xuanyangzi, please don't stop us from buying ginseng fruit."

"Yes, there aren't many people like the Immortal Master anymore."

Although the crowd recognized Xuan Yangzi, at this moment, they clearly still supported the Three Wonders Daoist.

Can understand.

After all, everyone had witnessed the effects of the ginseng fruit from the Three Wonders Taoist.

Xuan Yangzi shouted, "San Miao, you may fool them, but you can't fool me!"

"well……"

The Taoist Sanmiao let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Xuan Yangzi said no more and slashed straight at San Miao Dao Ren with his long sword.

A major war is imminent and inevitable.

Helpless, everyone could only quickly move aside, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"How dare you..."

Qingfeng Mingyue frowned, his eyes filled with hostility.

The Three Wonders Taoist remained motionless.

Only when Xuan Yangzi's longsword was close to his eyes did the Three Wonders Daoist stretch out his hand and, in a flash, grasp the blade of the longsword.

"you……"

Xuan Yangzi was shocked. How could his full-force strike have been so easily intercepted?

"hey-hey……"

A sinister smile flashed across the face of the Three Wonders Taoist.

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist Sanmiao kicked out with a stunt-like motion, aiming for Xuan Yangzi's chest.

boom!

Xuan Yangzi was unable to dodge in time and was kicked solidly in the chest.

His body flew off the wooden platform and crashed into the mud ten feet away.

"puff……"

Xuan Yangzi suffered excruciating pain in his liver and gallbladder, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He never expected that the cultivation level of the Three Wonders Daoist was far above his own, and he couldn't even withstand a single move, so he had no chance of winning!

"Let's go first..."

Xuan Yangzi immediately made a decision, struggled to his feet, and fled towards the outside of Shiyang Town.

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.

The promised battle turned into a one-sided rout, and in an instant, the scene fell silent.

"My sins, my sins..."

Then, the Taoist Sanmiao put his hands together and said loudly to the crowd, "As you all saw, that Taoist priest just now had a deep misunderstanding of me."

He is injured again now, and I cannot stand idly by.

"Please wait a moment while I treat his wounds, then I'll return to sell the ginseng fruit."

After speaking, the Three Wonders Daoist's face darkened.

He immediately took Qingfeng and Mingyue with him and chased after Xuan Yangzi in the direction he had fled.

"It seems the truth is about to come out..."

Shen Han remained calm and quietly followed.
