Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Zhao Xueqi breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she were about to collapse from cold sweat all over her body.

The fear receded like a tide, but worry resurfaced.

She couldn't help but look nervously at Li Xin.

The slender boy stood in the courtyard, sunlight shining on his face, making him look clean and handsome.

But just one more glance is like a raging sea of ​​blood rushing towards you, making it hard to breathe.

Li Xin smiled gently: "Big brother, you can arrange it. If Xiaoyue knew that her sister Xiaowan was living with her, she would be overjoyed."

"Come here, Xiaowan, let your brother give you a hug and see if you've gained weight recently?"

He picked up Xiao Wan's frail body without a second thought, causing the little girl to forget her sadness and say shyly, "I'm not as small as Sister Yue'er, it's hard to hold me like that."

"That's still very small. Look, it doesn't even reach my neck. Eat more rice in the future."

Li Xin really has the right to say that.

He was originally less than a year older than his cousin Li Xiaowan, but now he had grown much taller, reaching 1.65 meters.

How did I grow so much in just one month? It's because I ate a lot, isn't it?

Nowadays, a meal is enough for three or four people, and the amount of meat consumed daily is measured in kilograms. Not to mention the tonics and medicinal soups, which are consumed to the point that the body cannot digest them.

This action was originally considered somewhat out of line.

Even if they are cousins, this is a bit much...

But the results were surprisingly good.

After Li Xin hugged her like that, Li Xiaowan's unease receded like the tide...

Even though I was still sad, I wasn't so upset anymore.

There is an emotion called reliance, which is lost not long ago, but then regained.

"Brother Xin, can I share a room with Yue'er?"

"Of course. Xiaoyue is a light sleeper and often wakes up at night. If you're with her, she'll sleep more soundly."

Li Xin smiled and agreed.

In his perception, two golden lights, invisible to ordinary people, quietly entered his mind.

This was provided by my aunt Zhao Xueqi and Li Xiaowan.

From a psychic perspective, unlike last time, the pale red arc of light that had been floating on Li Xiaowan's body had now turned a deep red.

Basically, his glory is on par with that of his elder brother, younger sister, and Zhuang Hongxiu.

This can be seen from the adoration and trust in her eyes...

As for Aunt Zhao Xueqi, her original white arc of light had now turned light red, almost turning dark red.

Clearly, after this ordeal, his thoughts had quietly changed.

"Pack some valuables, and anything you can't bear to part with. We'll call two carriages later and move them back."

"Don't worry about the body, just throw it outside. The constables will come and take care of it."

Hearing this, Zhao Xueqi and her mother's eyes reddened again, but they knew that this was not the time to delay.

They hurriedly packed their belongings, and by the time the bodies inside the house were thrown onto the street, they were already prepared.

“Xin’er, this medical book is something your uncle cherishes very much. He obtained it two months ago and has treasured it, studying it day and night.”

He even said that if he could figure out the secrets behind it, he could definitely become a master or a national champion...

Then one day, he secretly cursed again.

I overheard them cursing some old scoundrel named Qi, saying that everything was mine...

As a woman, I have no idea what he was busy with or where he got the medical books from.

All I know is that from then on, he became very worried. Sometimes he would sigh and lament, and other times he would be in high spirits, as if he couldn't make up his mind about something.

Zhao Xueqi handed over a floral cloth package containing an old, yellowed book wrapped in oil paper, which still carried a fresh, earthy smell.

Clearly, Zhao Wenzhou was right; the book had been hidden in the soil next to the jujube tree in the courtyard.

The other half-open sandalwood box contained a small, withered old ginseng wrapped in red cloth, its tendrils extending in all directions like dragon whiskers.

Li Xin brought the ginseng close to his nose and sensed the signal in his body. He immediately understood that this was the two-hundred-year-old ginseng that the people had been pressuring him about earlier.

Even with this thing, someone still managed to find out. Indeed, a lack of secrecy is the root of disaster.

Li Xin sighed.

Fragments of memories flashed through my mind, and I seemed to recall the scene of my father lying in bed, angrily scolding my second uncle.

I also remembered my mother silently weeping under the dim yellow oil lamp.

At that time, he had not yet awakened his innate wisdom and was just staring blankly at the two adults, unaware of how much resentment and regret they harbored.

Looking back now, it was all a heart full of sincerity that went down the drain, leaving only pain and disappointment...

They probably never imagined that this ginseng, which they had accidentally dug up deep in the mountains, would return to its original owner in this way.

Seeing Li Xin's expression, Zhao Xueqi's face flashed with a complex look, a mixture of shame and sadness: "Although I don't know everything, from some of the things your second uncle said when he was drunk, I roughly know about the ginseng from back then..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Our family has wronged you. Indeed, heaven is watching what people do."

Your second uncle has paid the price... From now on, let your aunt spend the rest of her life atoning for his sins.”

"Second Aunt, you flatter me."

Li Xin didn't bring it up again, nor did he offer any feigned refusal.

He knew that accepting these things directly and turning the page on the past was the most reassuring approach.

……

The next few days.

Li Xin didn't go anywhere; he remained immersed in joy.

As expected, no police officers came to hold anyone accountable for the murder at Baoshentang.

It seemed that the lives of those people were as fleeting as a gust of wind in front of the hall.

What's past is past; nobody cares, nobody pays attention.

Aunt and Li Xiaowan quietly integrated into the life of the Li family residence near the Fire God Temple.

Before Zhao Xueqi's family fell into poverty, they had run some small businesses.

The mutton soup and breakfast shop in front of the door, under her management, is even more prosperous than when Li Cheng was in charge.

Xiaowan and Xiaoyue are so close they're practically inseparable.

Compared to her days at Baoshentang, she has changed quite a bit.

In the past, she devoted her days to studying poetry and literature, mastering medical books, identifying medicinal herbs, and occasionally doing needlework. Her days were always fully occupied.

Nowadays, however, he has abandoned most of his previous studies and spends his days practicing the "One-Character Clamping Sheep Stance" (a specific stance in martial arts).

Or he and Xiaoyue would learn the Sixty-Four Steps of Bagua together, working so hard that even Li Xin was amazed.

Of course, she wasn't the only one practicing so hard in the courtyard.

For example, Fang Qiao'er, and Luo Xiaohu. Practicing it is like self-torture.

They experienced despair, then saw hope, and cherished this time of martial arts training all the more.

"Compared to others, I'm practically slacking off."

Li Xin stood in the courtyard, one leg bent in front of his chest, the other leg straight as a sword... his right hand grasped the butt of the spear and stretched it out in a straight line, his left hand pointing backward like a sword.

His body was as steady as a sculpture.

Only by getting close enough to examine Zhuang Hongxiu closely can one see clearly.

Beneath his exposed skin, veins bulged and contracted like writhing snakes...

You can hear a rushing sound in your ears; that's the blood flowing rapidly, circulating and vibrating within your body.

"How is it? Has the medicinal effect of this [Great Nourishing Essence Soup] diminished? Should we add other medicinal herbs?"

……

Chapter 72 The Uninvited Guest (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"No need to change it for now, the medicine is just right."

Li Xin put away the Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg Spear, exhaled a breath of hot air to calm his blood and qi, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

He focused his mind and realized that his condition had improved significantly.

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/74

[Constitution: 21.6] Talent: (Critical Strike)

[Agility: 21.1] Talent: (Light and Agile)

[Spirit: 21.4] Talent: (Psychic)

[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, Third Prince, Divine Intent Level 1, 68%, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Void Reflection.)]

(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 1, 4%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body.)

(The Monkey King, Divine Will Level 1, 2%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light.)

[Confidence: 0.9]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

……

My lifespan hasn't changed, and my actual physical age is 13 in a few months, so it's not worth worrying about.

The key point is that the improvement in physical fitness is quite significant.

After century-old ginseng and century-old Ganoderma lucidum are used in medicine.

Li Xin discovered that he could digest two doses of herbal medicine every day as usual, and each dose of herbal medicine could increase his [physical constitution] by about 0.25.

It can increase your [Constitution] by about 0.5 per day.

At the same time, the body's internal Qi and blood change every day.

From a small stream to a canal, and from a small canal to a large canal.

Qi rises, vital energy is abundant, blood flows faster, and the heart beats more powerfully...

Moreover, he discovered that with the consumption of Yangyuan Tang, his agility was also improving at a rate of 0.3 per day.

Even his mental strength improved by 0.1 every day.

This is practically a complete evolution of the body.

The improvement in mental strength, in particular, was an unexpected bonus.

Since awakening his innate wisdom, his spiritual power has not increased much.

Aside from practicing boxing and regulating qi and blood every day, which causes some fluctuations in my mental state, the rest of the time feels like I'm locked up, with no hope of improvement in sight.

This nourishing soup can comprehensively improve one's physical and mental well-being, which is truly rare.

Master Cheng Yuanhua passed down this prescription without any reservations, which shows his magnanimity.

Of course, the reason it's so effective is undeniable; you get what you pay for. The two century-old medicinal herbs deserve immense credit.

Of course, the main function of this medicinal soup is to improve physical condition.

"From now on, using drugs to improve physical fitness and using faith power to enhance agility and spirit will be the most cost-effective option."

Yes, Li Xin's [Spirit] attribute reached 21.4 because of the 0.1 increase from taking medicine every day.

The most significant improvement came from the two points of trust he gained from Li Xiaowan and his aunt.

This time, he added it to the [Spirit] attribute.

"This has been thoroughly proven that mental strength is extremely useful in increasing combat power."
