Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

50: Tiger Evil PillHearing this, Zheng DeYu’s face turned cold, and a black Qi permeated the air, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

”Since that’s the case, then you can go die with them!”

A black current of Qi suddenly erupted, and Qin Jiang’s black water blade pointed diagonally at the ground.

Swish—!

A black-red blade light flashed, and the surging black Qi current abruptly stopped, as the immense black-red Evil Qi instantly swallowed the black Qi current.

He swung his blade, shook off the blood, and sheathed his blade.

Qin Jiang slowly turned around behind Zheng DeYu, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.

When he had just swung his blade, he hadn’t felt the slightest resistance.

Zheng DeYu turned back, his hollow eye sockets clearing and becoming bright.

”My lord, thank you.”

As he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew, and his body turned into a sky full of black mist and dissipated, taking the urn with it.

Tian Shangfei walked over and draped a black cloak over Qin Jiang.

That night, in the Cultivation Quarter, Anxin Villa.

Qin Jiang sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes deep.

After mastering the Red Tiger Fist, he had become a bit overconfident.

He hadn’t killed Zheng DeYu immediately after confirming he was a strange entity; instead, he had even started explaining how he discovered it.

Most importantly, he had shown a moment of compassion, which was not advisable for him at this time.

The moonlight shone into his eyes, and he slightly raised his hand, as if to cup the moon in his palm.

Looking at the panel,

【Current Martial arts】

Longevity Five Qi Skill (Second Layer) (220/400)

Iron Arm Fist (Perfection)

Earth Dragon Body (Second Layer) (170/300)

Red Tiger Fist (Second Layer) (50/900)

【Potential Points: 14.3】

The potential points were enough to advance Red Tiger Fist to the third layer, and in the past few days, he had gradually learned to control the Evil Qi within his body.

However, he occasionally still couldn’t help but feel that violent emotion.

After meeting the Gang Leader tomorrow, he would see if there was a solution. If not, perhaps he could find another Cultivation Technique for cultivating the mind to practice concurrently?

The next day, in Kaiming Quarter, at the Red Tiger Gang headquarters, Qin Jiang and Lu Xuanwu sat opposite each other.

Qin Jiang had come directly to the headquarters after waking up today to ask Lu Xuanwu about the tiger fiend Fist Intent of Red Tiger Fist.

Lu Xuanwu had already brewed tea, seemingly knowing that Qin Jiang would be eager to come today.

”Actually, I’m quite surprised that you were able to master Red Tiger Fist entirely through your own strength.”

Lu Xuanwu poured a cup of tea for Qin Jiang and then picked up his own cup to take a sip.

Qin Jiang looked puzzled, ”What does that mean? Not relying on myself to master Red Tiger Fist, do I need to rely on some external object instead?”

Lu Xuanwu nodded as if it were obvious, ”You might not know, but the Red Tiger Fist we Cultivate is different from ordinary high-level true Martial arts; it produces extremely dense Evil Qi during Cultivation.

Although this Evil Qi is very powerful, it can also affect the practitioner’s mind.

Therefore, the Cultivation of Red Tiger Fist requires a tiger fiend pill to calm the Evil Qi, only then can one Cultivate this Red Tiger Fist to theGetting Started (initiation) stage.

Otherwise, with Evil Qi filling the head, it would lead to Qi Deviation in minor cases, and death in severe cases.

Furthermore, even after reaching the initiation stage, one cannot do without this tiger fiend pill, needing to take one every so often, otherwise there is a risk of the Evil Qi going out of control. I think you should have experienced this.”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, ”It feels a bit unpleasant.”

Lu Xuanwu smiled, his eyes showing a hint of relief, ”The reason I didn’t give you the tiger fiend pill at the beginning was actually to see to what extent you could endure the Evil Qi on your own.

But I never expected you to give me such a huge surprise. Besides your sister, you are the second person I’ve seen who mastered Red Tiger Fist without relying on the tiger fiend pill.”

”Gang Leader, medicine is inherently toxic. If this tiger fiend pill is taken long-term, won’t Medicinal Pill toxins accumulate in the body?” Qin Jiang asked.

Medicinal Pill toxins were secondary; mainly, he believed that Martial arts that required relying on external objects like Medicinal Pills to maintain Cultivation were not the right path.

Lu Xuanwu smiled and took out a palm-sized cloth bag from hisPregnant (bosom) to give to Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang opened the cloth bag, which contained seven or eight translucent blood-red Medicinal Pills, with mist-like fluid inside them.

”You’re right, all medicines have some toxicity, and the Medicinal Pill toxins of the tiger fiend pill can stimulate Evil Qi, increasing the risk of losing control. Therefore, when taking the tiger fiend pill, one needs to find a quiet place to refine it.

Generally speaking, one tiger fiend pill can be taken approximately once a month. If one cannot reach the initiation stage within three years, the accumulated Medicinal Pill toxins will be like a powder keg.

In such a case, one can no longer Cultivate this Red Tiger Fist. Forcing Cultivation will only lead to Evil Qi shattering the spirit and exploding the body!

And if one masters the tiger fiend Fist Intent, one can use the Fist Intent to expel the Medicinal Pill toxins from the body; although it cannot be completely expelled, it will no longer have a significant impact.” Lu Xuanwu said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, feeling that something was not quite right, but couldn’t put his finger on it.

”Alright, these tiger fiend pills are enough for your needs for half a year. Once you’ve used them up, you can go directly to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion next to the Martial arts Pavilion to collect more.”

At this point, Lu Xuanwu paused for a moment, then continued, ”There’s one more thing I need to tell you: an attendant from Fourth Hall has also mastered Red Tiger Fist. I don’t know if you want to be the Sixth Master or the Fourth Master.”

Qin Jiang’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, ”Naturally, the Fourth Master.”

Lu Xuanwu was not surprised. His Junior Brother was the former Fourth Master, and Qin Jiang’s sister had also competed for the Fourth Master position back then.

”Since that’s the case, I intend to merge Fourth Hall and Sixth Hall into one. If you wish to take charge then, you will need to compete with him. The winner will be the new Fourth Master of my Red Tiger Gang.”

Qin Jiang nodded, ”I understand.”

The new Fourth Master, Nie Dongsheng.

Cultivation Quarter, Anxin Villa.

”Hahahaha! Congratulations! It seems it won’t be long before I call you Fourth Master!”

Elder Chen laughed heartily. He had long known that the Gang Leader intended to merge Fourth Hall and Sixth Hall. The original best candidate was Qin Hong, but Qin Hong had suddenly disappeared.

In fact, he also knew that the so-called disappearance was just a euphemism; she was basically dead.

And because of this, it benefited him and that Nie Dongsheng fellow.

Because according to Gang rules, Elders are not allowed to directly participate in Gang management; they can only receive a proportional share of dividends annually.

Although it was a considerable amount, compared to the income from directly managing a hall, it was far too little.

This was unavoidable; they couldn’t just let these old fellows hog the positions and prevent the younger generation from rising, could they?

A Gang was all about profit; there was no such thing as respecting the old and caring for the young. Without sufficient profit, who would bother joining a Gang?

Moreover, did they, the Elders, truly want to step down?

It was only because the Gang Leader was forcefully suppressing them.

This was also why the position of Gang Leader had always been vacant; only someone who could suppress all dissent within the Gang was qualified to sit in the position of Gang Leader.

The Legacy of the Red Tiger Gang Leader had never relied on any elaborate succession ceremony, but purely on strength to seize it.

If no one could achieve this, then the position of Gang Leader would remain suspended until that capable person came to claim it.

Qin Jiang smiled at the remark, ”Elder Chen is too kind. Is there something you came to see me about this time?”

Elder Chen nodded, ”It’s nothing major, just to inform you that you are now an attendant. As for the headmen under you, you can decide as you see fit.

Besides that, there’s a small matter: a hundred acres of farmland outside the west of the city withered overnight. You should find some time to go and take a look.

After all, three tenths of the taxes from that area belong to our Red Tiger Gang.”

Outside the west of the city?

Qin Jiang seemed to recall something and asked, ”Are those hundred acres of fertile land part of the Xu Family’s property?”

Elder Chen looked at Qin Jiang with surprise, ”Which piece of land in the west of the city, including outside it, isn’t the Xu Family’s?”

Qin Jiang nodded, ”Alright, I’ll go tomorrow.”

”Hmm, good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

After Elder Chen left, Qin Jiang called Meng An.

”Old Meng, now that I’ve been promoted to attendant, how much monthly allowance will I receive?”
