Munin left Murphy's Grocery and went to the edge of the invisible barrier to test it out. He found that the spirit bean clone could enter and exit freely and returned to the small courtyard at the bottom of the lake.
When his main primordial spirit returned to his body, he found that he was indeed much weaker. He quickly sat down to adjust his breathing and let the two nourish each other.
In just half a day, he had recovered to his peak state. What made him feel regretful was that the change in his cultivation was minimal. It seemed that the effect of helping the weak and helping the weak to increase his cultivation was minimal.
What made him feel even more regretful was that the spirit bean clone had turned into nothingness, leaving behind only a painted skin.
It seemed that even if the spirit bean clone did not finish its attack, it would disappear as soon as the primordial spirit left.
This discovery made him want to go to Danyang City to save the Tang Lishan and ask for the location of the broken incense burner.
Now, his main goal was to open the jade pendant and get the pill formula inside.
With the help of Zhen Xianshu's blood and his strength at the seventh level of the Nourishment Realm, he finally found out what was inside the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was a key. There was no pill formula inside. The cultivation items left behind by the Zhen Family were all in the inconspicuous items in the ancestral hall.
The incense burner, the lamp, the memorial tablet … They were scattered in more than ten places, but they all needed the jade pendant to open. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were family heirlooms.
Munin was surprised. It seemed that the broken incense burner that was stolen from the Tang Lishan was only one of the items. The Foundation Establishment pill formula inside was the only thing that he had information about.
As such, he had to make a trip to Danyang City.
However, the journey was too far. Munin felt that he had to be fully prepared. He had to at least raise his cultivation to the eighth level of the Nourishment Realm.
If it was before, he would have no way to do it. However, he now knew all the pill formulas of the Zhen Family. Before returning, he had collected all the herbs he needed in the city.
Although refining ordinary pills was very slow to raise one's cultivation, it was possible for him to reach the eighth level of the Nourishment Realm.
Next, he kept eating herbs and refining them with the Great Void Pill Cauldron Technique. He condensed all kinds of herbs in his hands.
Three days passed quickly. He really reached the eighth level. There were still many herbs left to be refined.
However, the agreed time was almost up. He used another Immortal Spirit Bean and cast Magic Arsenal. He attached his main Primordial Spirit to it and covered it with Zhen Mowu's Painted Skin.
In the end, he discovered that after his cultivation improved, the body of the Painted Skin Body and the spirit beans fused together also became stronger.
It would not be a problem for him to attack eight times. Every attack would be comparable to a late stage First Rated Warrior. If he used the three-foot wooden sword, he would be able to fight against a peak First Rated Warrior.
It was just that the time it took to gather power was still very long. However, there was still room for choice, and that was to only use half of the power. This could greatly reduce the time it took to gather power.
However, that kind of strength would only be at the level of a second-rate martial artist, so it would still be considered a chance for him to make a move.
When Munin came out from the bottom of the lake, he naturally brought the three foot long wooden sword with him. He wrapped it in his clothes and went to a weapon shop in the city. He decisively bought a long spear, hollowed out the end of the spear shaft, and stuffed the three foot long wooden sword into it. Then, he sealed it.
Munin carried the long spear on his back and went directly to the inn where the Tang Yuyan was staying.
After a simple conversation, Munin learned more about the Tang Yuyan. She had two Senior Brothers. The one in front of him was the Second Senior Brother, Yunlin. The Eldest Senior Brother, Meng Ke, who was the most skilled in martial arts, stayed by the Tang Lishan's side.
As for the Tang Yuyan's endless gratitude, she promised him ten thousand taels of silver for the consultation fee. She even faintly hinted that as long as he could save the Tang Lishan, she would repay him with her body. However, Munin did not care.
The three of them rode fast horses out of Green Rock City and galloped toward Danyang City.
Along the way, Munin saw a flat land with no ups and downs. There were fields everywhere. However, the common people were displaced and the fields were seriously barren. Starving people could be seen everywhere.
It was rumored that this area was the most chaotic area. It seemed to be true.
This situation was much better when they reached the vicinity of Danyang City. This was because the south bank of Luo River was controlled and occupied by the powerful Baekje Of Gojoseon. There were not many wars and the common people were not displaced, but the taxes were very high.
Danyang City was only a small city on the south bank of Luo River. The main reason was that the river was turbulent and was not suitable for building a pier.
There were only a few small wooden piers used to dock small boats. There were not many merchants coming and going.
During the peak season of traveling between the north and the south, the other big cities were overcrowded. Only then would merchants pass by Danyang City and stop to buy and sell goods.
Luo River was a natural barrier and was known as the second natural barrier against the Barbarians. Merchants coming and going from the south to the north all had to cross the river nearby. Even if Danyang City could only receive the remaining merchants from the big cities, it was still much more prosperous compared to other small cities.
Danyang City was rainy all year round. Most of the buildings were slanted and tiled. It was a unique water town. In the middle of the small city, there was a tributary of Luo River. Thirteen unique stone bridges spanned across the tributary. Pleasure boats and pleasure boats came and went on the river in an endless stream.
The Tang's Escort Agency was located in the northern district of Danyang City. It occupied a large courtyard and was the largest escort agency in the entire city.
The sun was setting in the west. Danyang City was bathed in the afterglow. Three riders came from the south in a hurry. They only slowed down when they reached the city gate.
They did not stop at all and went straight to the Tang's Escort Agency. Soon, they arrived at the gate.
Two majestic stone lions stood on either side of the gate. Eight men in martial attire stood solemnly. The three riders stopped, revealing two men and one woman. They were Munin and the other two.
They rode their fine steeds without stopping. In two days, they had traveled five to six hundred li from Green Rock City to Danyang City.
As soon as the three of them dismounted at the gate of the Tang's Escort Agency, someone hurriedly came out to greet them. Then, they went straight to the courtyard where the Tang Lishan was recuperating. They could smell all kinds of medicine from afar.
When they entered the courtyard, it was not quiet. There were more than thirty people in different outfits. However, there were only a dozen or so people in charge. The rest were juniors and attendants. They carried all kinds of medicine boxes and utensils.
"Junior Brother Yun, Junior Sister Tang, you're back. You're Swordsman Mu …" A burly man in green stood at the door of the room. When he saw Munin and the other two appear, he hurriedly greeted them. He looked at Munin and said uncertainly.
Munin nodded. It was easy to know that the man in green was Meng Ke.
"Swordsman Mu, please come in." Meng Ke was extremely respectful.
Munin followed Meng Ke inside.
"Wait, Young Hero Meng, what do you mean by this? You invited us here, but didn't let us in to see the patient. Now that he's here, you're going in directly. Could it be that his medical skills are better than all of us?" The dozen or so people who were arguing in the courtyard immediately stopped Munin and the others when they saw that they were going to enter the room directly.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what's going on?" Tang Yuyan frowned and asked anxiously in a low voice.
"Sigh, this morning, I saw that Master was in a very dangerous situation. So, I offered a reward of ten thousand taels of silver to anyone who could save Master. Soon, all kinds of famous doctors came to treat Master, but they were all helpless. Master was getting weaker and weaker, and I was anxious, so I accidentally messed up the order. These people were arguing about who should go in first, and it developed into a fight for reputation. No one was willing to back down. Now, they're competing in medical skills. Only the one with the highest medical skills can go in and treat Master, "Meng Ke explained helplessly and anxiously.
"Everyone, please make way. Swordsman Mu is not an outsider …" Yunlin said with a fist salute.
"Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we don't know? We all know Escort Tang's relatives. How is he not an outsider?" Someone questioned.
"That's right. Do you dare say that he's not here to treat Escort Tang's illness? We're all watching. Don't try to deny it. Do you really want your Tang's Escort Agency to lose its reputation and become a joke?"
"If he dares to call himself a hero, he must be amazing. But he still can't go in." Although the people present had vaguely heard of Swordsman Mu's reputation, they had never seen it with their own eyes. They all treated it as a joke and couldn't connect the two.
…
"Swordsman Mu, what do you think …" Meng Ke was in a difficult position.
"Do as you see fit," Munin said indifferently.
Meng Ke said with a lack of confidence, "Swordsman Mu, how about this? They're almost done with their competition. We'll wait a little longer and let the winner go in to take a look. Then, you can go in …"
"No problem." Munin needed time to gather his strength.
"That's the only way." Tang Yuyan nodded helplessly.
"Seniors, please continue with your competition," Yunlin said.
Hence, more than ten famous doctors continued to compete in their medical skills.
Tang Yuyan asked someone to bring a chair over and personally made tea. Then, he said to Meng Ke, "Eldest Senior Brother, take care of Swordsman Mu. I'm going in to see my father." “
Tang Yuyan and Yunlin hurried into the room. The more than ten famous doctors looked carefully and didn't say anything.
When the competition was about to end, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked in with a domineering aura surrounded by many people.
"Lord Zhen, why are you here?" Everyone was shocked.
"Is it really the Lord Zhen?" “
"How can it be fake?"
"Since the Lord Zhen is here, I won't embarrass myself." “
"Is he the current patriarch of the Zhen family, one of the four great Xinglin families?"
"If it's not him, who else could it be?"
"Then I won't embarrass myself either."
"How is that possible? Why would the Lord Zhen lower himself to come here for treatment for a mere ten thousand taels of silver?"
When Zhen Fu's name came, the more than ten famous doctors and pharmacists who were arguing fiercely just now gave up on the chance to treat the Tang Lishan and even flattered him.
