Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Without a doubt, what is recorded in this book should be the internal skill that the old beggar mentioned, which is of the same level as "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" but completely opposite, extremely yin and soft. It can also be regarded as the old beggar's repayment to Li Xin for the half steamed bun back then.

Calling him "flower-picker" would get him to give Li Xin the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" to harm him, but giving him half a steamed bun would get him this secret manual to save himself... This old beggar is quite clear about right and wrong.

But can he master the first level of this martial art in just one night? Back then, Li Xin spent a great deal of effort to master the first level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill." Now he only has one night. Can he master the first level of this martial art, which is similar to the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill"?

Li Xin didn't know, but he could only try, because it was the only way he could save himself.

Turning the pages of the book, Li Xin began to read. Having already acquired a certain foundation in martial arts and having practiced the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," Li Xin was immediately immersed in it, finding the contents of this martial arts manual incredibly profound and captivating—profound martial arts possess such magic that they fascinate those who view and practice them.

After memorizing all the contents of the book, Li Xin put it down and began to silently practice according to its contents.

The moon was high in the sky, and its light shone through the window into Li Xin's room, landing on the cover of the book and revealing the three large characters on it: "Mingyu Gong".

Unlike the extremely yang and strong "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", the "Mingyu Skill" is an extremely yin and soft martial art. However, all martial arts in the world lead to the same goal, and strength and softness are inherently one. Yin and Yang also have the principle of mutual generation and restraint. When a person has an amazing understanding of yang and strength, he will also have a remarkable understanding of yin and softness. Therefore, Li Xin does not need to think too deeply about the contents of the "Mingyu Skill" to gain some understanding.

In terms of cultivation, Li Xin had been practicing the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" for many years. His body was constantly damaged and healed by the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," and his resilience had long surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.

With all five internal organs damaged and all eight meridians injured, such injuries would not allow an ordinary person to survive even a day. Even those with high martial arts skills and strong bodies could only lie in bed and barely survive. The reason Li Xin can move freely now is not only because of the pill He Jinyin fed him, but also because he has long since developed a strong body through years of fighting against the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".

The reason why the injected version of "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" is not as powerful as the complete version is that the sharpness of "Wedding Dress True Qi" has been worn away. The real problem is that without a body that has fought against "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" for more than ten or twenty years and been tempered by countless trials, how can it be worthy of the unparalleled "Wedding Dress Divine Skill"? Naturally, it cannot bring out the true power of "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".

It can be said that Li Xin can quickly master any martial art, whether it's the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," the "Mingyu Skill," or other superior martial arts, and reach the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" without any hindrance, because he has already become a "vessel," or rather, a "great vessel."

Therefore, when Li Xin calmed down and began to cultivate the Mingyu Gong, the difficulties he had imagined did not come. Everything seemed to go so smoothly that almost in the blink of an eye, the first wisp of "Mingyu True Qi" was generated in Li Xin's body, beginning to nourish and repair his internal organs and meridians that had been burned by the "Wedding Dress True Qi". In this process, the wisp of "Mingyu True Qi" continued to grow stronger and soon reached a certain level.

The first level of Mingyu Gong: When the water is ready, the channel will be completed!

Outside, the old beggar did not leave; he continued to observe from the shadows, preparing to lend a helping hand if Li Xin encountered any difficulties.

When the old beggar saw a jade-like radiance appear on Li Xin's body, he knew that Li Xin had entered the first level of the "Mingyu Gong" and had successfully completed the first stage. The old beggar, pleased, gave what could be considered the highest praise: "Damn it!"

....................................

The next morning, there was a loud knocking on Li Xin's door. Crocodile's voice came from outside: "Xin, I've thought about it carefully. Let's go to the hospital and see a doctor. I don't know anything about internal injuries or damage to the eight meridians. We believe in science, okay? Medicine is so advanced now. I don't believe your injury can't be healed!"

The door to Li Xin's room didn't open for a long time. A tall, gentle-looking man opened the door and said to Crocodile, "Crocodile, I'm fine now. I've found a way to save myself. In the next few days, please don't bother me unless it's something important."

Crocodile Man stared wide-eyed at the completely unfamiliar, flawless man before him, who was as white as jade, and asked, "Handsome, who are you? Why are you in Ah Xin's room?"

The man said, "I am Ashin, don't you recognize me, Crocodile?"

Crocodile Guy: "?!"

I don't know anyone! Where's my black buddy Ashin?!

Chapter Sixty-One: I Have a Younger Sister...

After asking many questions that only he and Li Xin knew, Crocodile finally believed that the flawless man in front of him was Li Xin.

"Ah-Xin, what's wrong with you?"

Crocodile asked Li Xindao.

When Li Xin returned before, he had lost a lot of weight, but he was still recognizable. However, the current Li Xin is completely different from before, which Crocodile Lao can't understand at all.

Well, saying they look completely different isn't quite right. The facial features are still the same; it's just that the face has become whiter and the contours have become clearer, which is why they give such a big impression.

"It's nothing, I just learned a new martial art and that's how it turned out."

Li Xin looked at his snow-white, jade-like hands and felt quite uncomfortable.

He used to have thick, calloused fingers, and because of years of farm work, his hands were covered in calluses. But now, his hands are smooth and delicate, with long, slender fingers, even more beautiful than a woman's.

Crocodile Man scrutinized Li Xin carefully and said to him, "Xin, I'm telling you, why don't you quit being an assassin and become a gigolo? Actually, I've been in Hong Kong for so many years, I have some connections with rich women..."

"roll."

Li Xin rolled his eyes.

Crocodile chuckled. No matter what Li Xin became, it was always a good thing that he survived. Moreover, judging from Li Xin's condition, it should be considered a blessing in disguise.

He patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "Alright, then don't worry about anything else these days, just focus on healing."

Li Xin nodded. He had only just mastered the first level of the Mingyu Skill. To say that he could heal his injuries was still a long way off. The old beggar had only said that he could only survive if he mastered the first level of the Mingyu Skill in one night. What he really meant was that mastering the first level of the Mingyu Skill was just the beginning. What Li Xin needed to do now was to race against time to see if his injuries would flare up first, or if he could master the Mingyu Skill to the point where he could heal his injuries sooner.

Even mastering the first level of a top-tier internal skill like the "Mingyu Gong" is extremely difficult. It requires those with exceptional talent and comprehension to practice diligently for over a year, and to achieve any real mastery, ten years of hard work is absolutely necessary.

However, under the tempering of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", Li Xin's body has long been tempered and refined to a level rarely seen in the world. He can quickly master any martial art, and the "Mingyu Skill" is no exception. The fact that he mastered the first level of the "Mingyu Skill" in just one night is the best proof of this.

Moreover, the "Mingyu Gong" was Li Xin's last straw; he had no other way to go.

Li Xin originally wanted to go back to his room to continue practicing his skills, but suddenly remembered something and asked Crocodile Old Man, "By the way, have you told Mr. Gao about Gao Yi?"

Crocodile's expression turned strange. He said, "I've already said that."

"Then Mr. Gao, he..."

“He told me that on the very day he was hospitalized, Gao Yi’s overseas account had an extra million dollars.”

Crocodile Man chuckled and said, "I was overestimating myself, actually worrying that the 'God of Gamblers' would fall into someone else's trap."

He now understands why gambling skills and cheating techniques are inseparable: a skilled gambler is definitely a master cheater, and a cheater rarely trusts anyone completely.

Although Gao Yi was Gao Jin's cousin, Gao Jin had been wary of him from the beginning, especially after he regained his memory and found that he was missing a tuft of hair. Although Gao Yi's explanation was reasonable, it was hard for Gao Jin not to make a connection when he was cursed to death by evil magic the very next day after losing a tuft of hair. So he asked Hiroji Ueyama to investigate, and they found that Gao Yi had an extra million dollars in his overseas account.

Last night, Gao Yi left the villa late at night to meet with "Gambling King" Chen Jincheng in secret. All of this was witnessed by Long Wu, who was following him. Now Gao Jin has completely confirmed Gao Yi's identity as a traitor and has come up with a plan to deal with him.

"Since Mr. Gao already knows that Gao Yi is a traitor, why is he still being kept alive?"

Li Xin asked, puzzled.

“You don’t understand. Mr. Gao is setting up a scheme to get Gao Yi and Chen Jincheng to join forces, and then use Gao Yi to trick Chen Jincheng. This is called ‘yielding to the strong and offering flowers to Buddha.’”

Crocodile Man spoke to Li Xindao.

Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I see. It's just 'using a plan against a plan,' not 'borrowing flowers to present to Buddha'..."

"Don't be so blunt, that doesn't show off our culture!"

Crocodile Man curled his lip.

Now that Gao Jin had figured out how to deal with Gao Yi, Li Xin felt relieved. He hoped that even after dealing with such a troublesome opponent as the "Nine Chrysanthemums Faction," he might still stumble on Gao Yi and Chen Jincheng.

Li Xin thought for a moment and then said, "Crocodile, if you have time, go to the general store near the Elite Center for me and tell a guy named Ghost King Da that I have found a way to heal myself and am working hard to heal myself. Tell him and Ah Yin not to worry about me."

"Elite Center, right? Okay, I got it."

Crocodile nodded.

After settling all his worldly affairs, Li Xin returned to his room to continue his cultivation. He was now racing against time, determined to use the healing elixir he still carried to cultivate the Mingyu Gong to the highest possible level.

Meridians are the foundation of internal energy cultivation. Li Xin's eight extraordinary meridians were all injured, so he shouldn't be able to cultivate any internal energy. Fortunately, the elixir that Zhen Yuanzhai found for Ghost King Da had the main function of repairing meridians. Although it couldn't fully restore Li Xin's eight extraordinary meridians, it at least brought him to a level where he could cultivate internal energy. This was also a prerequisite for Li Xin to cultivate the Mingyu Gong. Therefore, Li Xin had to cultivate the Mingyu Gong to the point where he could repair his meridians before the medicine's effects dissipated.

In the following days, although Li Xin was not involved, things proceeded in an orderly manner.

First up was the epic battle between Ko Chun and Chan Kam-shing, with the "God of Gamblers" emerging victorious.

The biggest contributor to Gao Jin's resounding victory was none other than Gao Yi. The "God of Gamblers" lived up to his name, even managing to manipulate a traitor. In the gambling game, he first pretended to have fallen into Gao Yi's trap, suffering repeated defeats, which made Chen Jincheng confident enough to bet all his money against him. Then, he made a comeback and won the game. Finally, he pretended in front of Chen Jincheng that Gao Yi was a fake traitor, making Chen Jincheng believe that Gao Yi had schemed against him. In a fit of rage, Chen Jincheng shot and killed Gao Yi on the gambling ship.

In this way, Gao Jin not only used Chen Jincheng to get rid of the traitor beside him, but also made Chen Jincheng commit a murder and serve at least twenty years in prison, which gave Shangshan Hongci a good venting of his anger.

To clarify, although Ueyama Hiroji and Chen Jincheng made a life-or-death bet, with the loser having to give up not only money but also their life, the problem is that no country's laws would recognize such a direct life-or-death bet. Therefore, this life-or-death bet was entirely a gentleman's agreement.

If the opponent were someone like Hiroji Ueyama, he would commit seppuku without hesitation after losing the bet, washing away his shame with his death. But if it were Chen Jincheng, that old man, although he is already seventy years old, cherishes his life more than anyone else. How could he possibly commit suicide? He would definitely go back on his word and deny it. At worst, he would be scorned by the gambling world. So what if he loses face? He is not the kind of person who is obsessed with saving face.

Knowing Chen Jincheng's nature, Gao Jin deliberately plotted to have Chen Jincheng kill Gao Yi. With a life in his hands, Chen Jincheng could only spend his 70th birthday in prison, which was truly gratifying and avenged Shangshan Hongci.

Besides Gao Jin, He Jinyin also unsurprisingly defeated the senior brother "Duan Shui Liu" in a life-or-death duel. Although the senior brother "Duan Shui Liu" had practiced martial arts since childhood and was exceptionally talented, his internal strength was at most equivalent to the fifth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill". Facing He Jinyin, who possessed the eighth level of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", he was almost "KO'd" in one move and was beaten to a pulp.

Besides defeating the "Broken Water Flow" senior brother, He Jinyin also exposed the "Broken Water Flow" senior brother's lies in front of everyone, allowing everyone to see his true colors. In the end, he won the heart of his goddess, Ali, and the two lovers finally got married.

However, when He Jinyin wanted to express his gratitude to Li Xin, Li Xin was in seclusion and he was unable to do so, which made He Jinyin quite regretful.

Twenty days later, Li Xin successfully emerged from seclusion. Upon his return, Li Xin was in the best condition of his life. Not only were the internal injuries caused by the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" completely healed, but the "Mingyu True Qi" also circulated continuously within Li Xin's body, keeping his spirit and energy at their peak.

This "Mingyu Skill" truly lives up to its reputation as a peerless divine skill on par with the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill." The "Mingyu True Qi" has extremely strong healing effects, and it can be said to be the opposite extreme of the "Wedding Dress True Qi" that has not been retrained.

"Ah-Xin, you're finally out!"

Crocodile Man breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Li Xin step out of the room.

For the past twenty days, Li Xin has not stepped out of his room. If it weren't for the fact that the three meals a day left at the door were taken every time, to be honest, Crocodile would have really wanted to break into the room.

Li Xin smiled slightly and said to Crocodile Man, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Li Xin now looks completely different from the Li Xin of twenty days ago. His skin has become fairer and smoother, and his features have become more refined. It's as if the most skilled craftsman has been finely adjusting and correcting his face bit by bit. You can still tell that it is Li Xin, but he has become more perfect and flawless than before.

Looking at Li Xin like this, Crocodile suddenly said, "Xin, we've known each other for so long, but you've never been to my house. Why don't you come to my house today and we can have a meal together? Oh, and invite my daughter too. Speaking of which, you've never met my daughter before. That won't do!"

Li Xin thought for a moment and said to Crocodile, "Crocodile, didn't you say your daughter is going to be a lawyer and that I, a shady character, should stay away from her?"

"Yes, but..."

After hesitating for a long time, Crocodile Man finally said, "Never mind, forget what I just said."

After careful consideration, I feel more comfortable being friends with Li Xin, so let's leave it at that for now and talk about other things later.

Gao Jin quickly learned that Li Xin had finished his seclusion. Li Xin had been injured while saving him, so Gao Jin immediately went to comfort him after learning that Li Xin had come out of seclusion. Just like Crocodile's first meeting with Li Xin after he had practiced the Mingyu Gong, Gao Jin did not recognize Li Xin at all. Fortunately, Crocodile was there to testify, and the most obvious change in Li Xin was that he had turned white. So Gao Jin finally confirmed Li Xin's identity.

"Brother Ashin, you've really changed..."

Gao Jin shook his head at Li Xin, speechless. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of chocolate and gave it to Li Xin.

"Never mind, let me offer you a piece of chocolate first."

Gao Jin spoke to Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at the dark chocolate in Gao Jin's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "I think you should give me white chocolate now."

Gao Jin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly remembered something and said somewhat embarrassedly, "So you heard me!"

Earlier on the plane, Gao Jin gave Li Xin a piece of dark chocolate. When Janet asked about it, he told her that he wanted to see which was darker, Li Xin or the dark chocolate. He thought he was speaking quietly, but Li Xin heard him.

With an awkward laugh, Gao Jin patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "Give me your address, and I'll send you a box of the best white chocolate another day."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Hahaha!"

They both laughed.

After chatting with Gao Jin for a while, Li Xin left the villa, intending to go to the Elite Center to let Ghost King Da and He Jinyin know he was safe. However, he was stopped by Crocodile Lao before he could leave.

Crocodile Man said to Li Xin, "Wait a minute, how can you go out looking like this? At least change your clothes!"

Li Xin looked down at himself. He was still wearing the same clothes as before, but because his muscles had shrunk, everything except the pants was obviously too big.

"Too."

Li Xin nodded, and then Crocodile Lao dragged him to a clothing store to buy clothes. Not long after, Li Xin, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the clothing store's dressing room.

He was still dressed entirely in black, wearing a black Blazer (a type of casual suit jacket) with white frayed edges on the collar and cuffs, which complemented Li Xin's fair skin perfectly. Underneath, he wore a black fitted vest, with a black belt around his waist that cinched the hem of the jacket and accentuated his muscular waist and abdomen. Black trousers and leather shoes made him look even more energetic, and with the addition of black sunglasses, Li Xin now clearly possessed a more professional assassin's aura than before.

Looking at the completely transformed Li Xin, Crocodile smiled and gave Li Xin an "OK" sign.

Li Xin bought three sets of the same clothes again. He carried the clothes out of the clothing store, but since it was inconvenient to carry things in his hands, he took the clothes back to the villa to put them away.

While taking the new clothes out of the clothing bag and putting them into his suitcase, a business card fell out of the bag. Li Xin looked at the card and saw it belonged to the store manager, who seemed to be a pretty young woman. Without thinking, he threw the card into the trash can—he didn't buy clothes often, so why would he need her business card?

After putting away the clothes, Li Xin went out again and ran into Long Wu, who was returning to the villa, just as he reached the door.

"Five brothers!"

Li Xin was also very happy to see Long Wu, after all, they had fought side by side before (whispering: although Long Wu was of little use).

Long Wu didn't recognize Li Xin at first, but he was familiar with Li Xin's voice, so he quickly recognized him.

"Ah-Xin, what happened to you? I don't even recognize you..."

The changes that had occurred to Li Xin were so drastic that even Long Wu's perpetually icy face showed an expression of extreme shock.

Li Xin smiled and said, "In short, there are all sorts of reasons."

Long Wu thought for a moment. Why Li Xin had become like this didn't seem to be the important thing. What was important was...

Swallowing hard, Long Wu said to Li Xin very seriously, "Ah Xin, actually, I have a younger sister..."

"?"

Long Wu has a younger sister, but what does that have to do with Li Xin?

Li Xin glanced at the sky and realized that if he didn't go to the Elite Center soon, it would get dark. So he said to Long Wu, "Fifth Brother, let's talk another day. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Hey hey!"

Ignoring Long Wu's attempts to persuade him to stay, Li Xin quickly left.
