Chapter 86 -81: 100 Years of Blood Ganoderma

Su Yunjin was so embarrassed she almost exploded. She thought last night was quite secretive, and after leaving the room, she had locked the door.

Ruirui definitely couldn’t see anything, but she didn’t expect there would be noises.

However, those sounds, she couldn’t control them!

*So embarrassing, truly embarrassing…*

Su Yunjin just wanted to explain that she wasn’t fighting with Chen Jie, not like what Ruirui thought, but Ruirui’s next words made her fall silent.

“And I also saw Sister bite Brother-in-law’s hand until it bled~”

“Huh?!”

Su Yunjin was stunned, thinking that if the wound on her husband was seen by others and questioned, it would be hard to explain. It was better to admit it herself to avoid others growing suspicious of her husband.

Thinking of this, Su Yunjin said, “Yes, but I’ve already made up with your Brother-in-law. Don’t go out and spread nonsense, understand?”

“Got it.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin emphasized, “If you talk nonsense, watch me not hit you.”

“Oh.”

Ruirui didn’t mind much, but the next moment, Su Yunjin said, “I also won’t allow your Brother-in-law to buy you any treats.”

“Ah, Sister, rest assured, Ruirui can keep a secret, please don’t stop Brother-in-law from buying me treats!”

Su Yunjin smiled. Her little treasure truly could only be tamed with good food!

…

At the fishery, Chen Jie found a boat, grabbed a fishing rod, tossed food and drink onto the boat, and pushed it into the river.

By this time, only a few tax collectors were left at the fishery, and they didn’t pay attention to Chen Jie going into the river, as patrolling the river was his job.

Once the small boat was in the river, Chen Jie drifted for a long time, when he was sure there were no tails behind him, he finally arrived at the small island hidden within the reed marsh.

The boat entered the reed marsh, which was narrow, making it difficult for even a small boat to pass through, not to mention casting a net.

Therefore, no fishermen fished here.

Chen Jie arrived at this place, passed through the reeds into the central small island, but found no one around. Where was Ni Wenjun?

Chen Jie was puzzled when suddenly a hand rested on his shoulder.

Chen Jie reacted instinctively, turning around to counterattack.

That person lifted a leg to block Chen Jie’s attack. Chen Jie turned, sidestepped, and punched, yet was blocked again by the other person.

Chen Jie could see clearly now the face of the person, it was Ni Wenjun.

“Brother Ni, you?”

Ni Wenjun said, “I saw you coming from afar and wanted to test your reaction.”

Chen Jie laughed and said, “How was it?”

Ni Wenjun said, “Speak honestly?”

Chen Jie said, “Of course!”

Ni Wenjun said, “Your foundation is decent, but your reaction is very poor. If I had grabbed your throat or had a knife, I could’ve easily reached your neck. Would you even be able to turn and counterattack?”

Chen Jie fell silent.

Ni Wenjun said, “Alright then, this happens to be a good time while I’m here for a couple of days. I’ll guide you in learning the Water Manipulation Palm.”

“Moreover, the Water Manipulation Palm power remaining in my body is a great supplement for you, and it can assist your training.”

Chen Jie, upon hearing this, said, “Then thank you, Brother Ni. By the way, Brother Ni, I brought roasted chicken and steamed buns for you. You must be hungry.”

Ni Wenjun touched his stomach and said, “I really am a bit hungry.”

Chen Jie brought the roasted chicken and steamed buns, and Ni Wenjun beckoned to Chen Jie, saying, “First go through the twenty-four styles of the Water Manipulation Palm, get familiar first!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately familiarized himself with them, then began practicing.

Ni Wenjun watched for a few moments before pointing out the shortcomings in Chen Jie’s hand technique. For a master above the Energy Transformation stage, directing a martial artist in the Skin Buff Realm was exceedingly easy.

Even if he hadn’t practiced the Water Manipulation Palm, just by watching, he could understand its principles.

This was akin to a high school student looking at a first-grade math problem—he might not have done it before, but upon seeing it, he knew the correct solution!

Guiding Chen Jie was absolutely no problem.

Chen Jie was very diligent, practicing the Water Manipulation Palm, and found a miraculous synergy happening within his body with the Yang Chun Skill. The combination was certainly greater than a simple sum.

Ni Wenjun ate the roasted chicken, and steamed buns, enjoying his meal greatly.

When he saw Chen Jie fully engrossed in practice, he simply infused a wisp of the Water Manipulation Palm’s Gang Qi he had forced out into Chen Jie’s body.

This wisp of palm power meant nothing to Ni Wenjun, as small as an ant. But in Chen Jie’s body, it surged like a galloping horse.

It raged wildly, and at that moment, Chen Jie needed to use his half-baked Water Manipulation Palm and Yang Chun Skill to digest it.

The Water Manipulation Palm power was very pure. Back then, River Flipping Lip Ding Shun also used his Lifebound Gang Qi to unleash three fatal palms.

This Gang Qi was very harmful to Ni Wenjun, obstructing his wound recovery and had to be expelled from his body.

But for a martial artist like Chen Jie with Yang Chun Skill and Water Manipulation Palm,

It was a great supplementary medicine.

This was almost like an Energy Transformation expert, before dying, passing on all his skills to a junior.

Except that he used it as a lethal move to injure an enemy. Similarly, if one could refine this Gang Qi, it was equivalent to absorbing the life’s skill passed on by the Energy Transformation expert before dying.

This great supplement was more effective than any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Unfortunately, Ni Wenjun couldn’t wait for Chen Jie to slowly convert all these skills, nor could he stay in Xiantao Town for long, a maximum of two days.

Otherwise, the strong individuals coming to Xiantao Town would be more than just those at the Energy Transformation level!

To save Commandery Princess Zhao Ya, Prince Fenyang, who controlled the Huguang region’s two circuits, had already issued a Jianghu Kill Order. Too many Jianghu people eager to flatter Prince Fenyang, even Ni Wenjun found it overwhelming.

Therefore, Ni Wenjun could only stay for two days before needing to leave.

As for how much Chen Jie could absorb these two days, it depended entirely on Chen Jie’s own fortune.

Meanwhile, Ni Wenjun also needed to quickly recover from his injuries and would speed up the expulsion of the Water Manipulation Palm power from his body.

Thus, using Ni Wenjun as a container for Chen Jie to slowly absorb and increase his strength was not feasible.

If Chen Jie could truly absorb all the palm power of those three palms, it could at least help him enter the Dark Force stage!

Unfortunately, time did not wait for anyone!

Just like that, Chen Jie spent an afternoon learning the Water Manipulation Palm with Ni Wenjun. Ni Wenjun held nothing back, correcting the mistakes in the hand technique, helping Chen Jie avoid many detours.

Not everyone had the opportunity to have an Energy Transformation martial artist guide them in martial arts.

In fact, even when it came to ordinary Dark Force martial artists, if they guided others in martial arts, a day would cost five or six taels of silver.

As for Energy Transformation martial artists, none would waste time guiding juniors in martial arts unless it was their son, and that couldn’t be measured with money.

What’s more, it was Ni Wenjun, an existence above the Energy Transformation stage.

Thus, the opportunity was rare, and Chen Jie asked about every martial arts issue he encountered during practice.

Ni Wenjun answered each one, providing detailed explanations for many specifics. Although there were some things Ni Wenjun hadn’t experienced, given his current level, many things at the Skin Buff stage and below were clear at a glance.

He could offer a lot of guiding advice from a high vantage!

Helping Chen Jie resolve many problems.

When night fell, Chen Jie left reluctantly from Ni Wenjun.

He used a boat from the fishery, and if he didn’t return for too long, he feared raising suspicion.

Ni Wenjun also needed time to expel the Water Manipulation Palm power from his body. Once expelled, his wounds could heal by eighty percent, and by then, he could leave.

Returning to the shore, Chen Jie first went to town to buy some tonics and then directly went to the Bai household.

Another good brother of his, Wu Hong, was injured, and he couldn’t not go see him.

Actually, he was in a difficult position in between this situation.

Wu Hong could be considered his guide, teaching him Grand Ancestor Long Fist, and the Wu family also counted as his benefactors.

And Ni Wenjun?

He was also a benefactor, teaching him the Water Manipulation Palm and wholeheartedly instructing him in martial arts.

If he was able to achieve something, Ni Wenjun’s contributions would undoubtedly be indispensable.

But now, the two of them had a conflict.

It was hard for him to take sides.

*Who was wrong?*

*In fact, neither of them was wrong.*

*Wu Hong was catching a thief for his ideals and justice. What was wrong with a constable catching a thief?*

Ni Wenjun?

*Even less so,**, could he not fight back when someone wanted to kill him?*

Moreover, he still considered Doctor Bai’s kindness, not taking Wu Hong’s life. What more could one expect from him?

So, in this matter, Chen Jie couldn’t take a side.

He could only mend the situation from both sides as a brother.

When Chen Jie arrived at the Bai household, he was immediately met with a strong smell of herbs.

“Jiu Si, you’re here.”

As he entered, he saw Wu Zhong, who for some reason had produced a large smoking pipe, puffing on the tobacco.

“Uncle Zhong.”

Chen Jie greeted him.

“I came to see Brother Hong!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong said, “He’s in the room, your master is taking his pulse!”

When Chen Jie entered the room, he saw a pale-faced person lying on the bed, but he was conscious. Seeing Chen Jie, he managed a smile.

“Jiu Si, you came!”

Chen Jie said, “Brother Hong, are you alright?”

Wu Hong smiled and said, “I’m fine.”

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai raised his head to glance at him, then said to Chen Jie, “Jiu Si, come over and give it a try.”

“Me?”

Chen Jie looked at Doctor Bai, who said, “Yes, I’m having a hard time understanding the pulse.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie recalled a small story Doctor Bai had once told him: “If not your own child, surely use White Tiger Soup!”

*Doctors cannot treat themselves!*

So it seemed that when Wu Hong was injured this time, Doctor Bai’s emotions were completely unsettled. When your mind is chaotic, naturally you can’t feel the pulse accurately.

Chen Jie maintained a calm mindset.

He sat beside Wu Hong’s bed, then used the pulse-taking methods Doctor Bai had taught him to take the pulse.

“Lung damage, displaced abdomen, qi deficiency, and blood weakness, foundational depletion…”

Chen Jie looked up at Doctor Bai, who asked, “Which type of prescription should be used primarily?”

“It should primarily be warming supplements.”

“Master, Brother Hong’s injury isn’t severe, but it shouldn’t be taken lightly. He’ll need a period of recuperation.”

Doctor Bai said, “Recuperation alone won’t be enough—if the warming supplements don’t enhance recovery, it will inevitably leave a chronic condition, significantly affecting his martial path in the future. He may forever lack the potential to reach the Energy Transformation stage; his martial journey could be disrupted!”

“Ah, my son!”

Upon hearing this, Madam Bai began to cry. She knew how much Wu Hong had sacrificed for martial arts, and to have his martial path cut off was more painful than death for him!

Wu Hong, however, took it in stride, smiling and saying, “Mother, it’s alright, as long as my life is saved.”

“But…”

Madam Bai’s tears continued to flow.

Wu Hong laughed and said, “There’s no ‘but.’ Even if I weren’t injured, might I not break through or enter the Energy Transformation? So injured or not, it doesn’t matter.”

“But my son is only twenty years old, and with his talent, he surely could become an Energy Transformation martial artist…”

Madam Bai cried even more sorrowfully. The more understanding the child, the more heartbroken the parents.

At this moment, Wu Zhong entered from the doorway, knocking the ashes out of his pipe, saying, “Lan’er, stop crying. Hong’er doesn’t have an incurable illness. As long as we find a strong qi and blood supplement, I’ll go bankrupt, but I won’t let my son’s martial path end here!”

Upon hearing this, Madam Bai sobbed, “Dear, that qi and blood supplement is needed by Dark Force and Energy Transformation martial artists. How could they sell it to us?!”

Wu Zhong, hearing this, his expression flickered, and he looked at Doctor Bai, saying, “Father, can a hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma cure Hong’er’s condition?”
