Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

51: Upgrade, third level of Red Tiger Fist! The real use of Tiger Evil PillMeng An thought for a moment, ”About thirty taels. What’s wrong, Boss? Do you need money?”

”How much can you get?” Qin Jiang asked directly.

”Normally, not much, but Boss, since you’ve just taken office, it wouldn’t be right for those merchants not to send gifts. We could probably get seven or eight hundred taels,” Meng An said.

Qin Jiang’s eyebrows raised slightly. Seven or eight hundred taels, with a little more, would be enough to buy Brother Lius Blacksmith Shop. Thinking of Liu Yize, he looked at Meng An.

”Later, find a suitable place in the Inner City to open a Blacksmith Shop, then inform Brother Liu, the owner of Lius Blacksmith Shop in the north of the city, to come and take a look when he has time.”

”Understood! The best place to open a Blacksmith Shop is in our Anding Ward. I’ll definitely find a good spot!” Meng An patted his chest, guaranteeing.

Qin Jiang nodded, ”By the way, you and Lao Tian will be the Big Heads, right? I think it suits you two very well.”

Swoosh!

Meng An took a deep breath, ”Really, Boss!”

Qin Jiang smiled at the remark, ”You’re just being witty. Speaking of which, you should be a few years older than me, right?”

Qin Jiang looked at Meng An’s square face. Although he knew he was young, he did look old, appearing to be twenty-three or twenty-four.

Meng An scratched his head, speaking a bit awkwardly, ”I am a bit older, but not by much. My family has been in charge for a long time, but I’m actually only eighteen.”

Qin Jiang looked at Meng An with some surprise, ”You’re only eighteen?”

”Indeed, last month I even called a few girls to celebrate,” Meng An said, a hint of reminiscence on his face.

Qin Jiang nodded. Generally, formal Martial arts training begins after sixteen. For Meng An to cultivate Red Sand Palm to the second layer in just two years, his talent was quite good.

”Alright, there’s one more thing I need you to do: help me collect antique old items from the common folk.

Whether it’s the Inner City or the Outer City, as long as the price doesn’t exceed one tael of silver, take it directly. For anything over one tael of silver, record it,” he said.

He had already checked most of the antique shops and pawn shops in Black Mountain City, and there was almost nothing left to find.

Currently, he didn’t have much silver. Even with the silver sent by merchants, he could at most buy a few hundred items.

After much thought, Meng An was the most suitable person for this task.

Meng An was stunned, ”Antique old items? You mean old stuff?”

Qin Jiang nodded, ”Yes, preferably those with some legends or stories. Never mind, don’t worry about that, just take them all, the more the better.”

”Okay, I understand, Boss. Don’t worry, even if I have to dig three feet deep, I won’t miss a single one!” Meng An guaranteed.

”Good, go.”

That night, Qin Jiang sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his breathing, his body gradually relaxing.

He took out a tiger fiend pill and swallowed it. Immediately, a chill rushed straight to the top of his head, and the turbulent Evil Qi within his body gradually subsided.

A moment later, he looked inward and could clearly see a wisp of black thread moving within his body; this was the so-called pill poison.

Buzz~

Fist Intent erupted, surging towards the black thread. The moment they touched, the Evil Qi in his body became turbulent, and a violent will surged into his mind.

He forcefully suppressed this will. Just as he was about to expel the pill poison from his body, his eyes suddenly changed, and his Fist Intent instantly retracted.

With slightly widened eyes, he cautiously released Evil Qi, and the Tiger Fiend Fist Intent erupted, gradually forming a crimson tiger phantom behind him.

After a moment of careful perception, he slowly nodded.

Indeed, the pill poison not only stimulated the Evil Qi but also performed some kind of tempering.

This tempering enhanced the intensity of the Evil Qi, which caused that violent will to surge.

But precisely because of this, while suppressing the violent will just now, his Tiger Fiend Fist Intent also received a slight boost.

The pill poison actually had the effect of tempering Fist Intent!

This wasn’t pill poison at all; this was clearly a great medicine to nourish Fist Intent!

At this thought, his eyes gleamed with excitement. Perhaps, this tiger fiend pill was originally meant for tempering Evil Qi!

The true pill poison was actually the part that calmed the Evil Qi!

Yes! It must be this way!

Without hesitation, he directly activated the Evil Qi to stimulate the pill poison, and an urge to destroy everything immediately surged into his mind.

Bang!

He slapped his forehead. The nourishing internal Qi of Longevity Five Qi Skill rushed into his brain, and his consciousness instantly cleared up a bit.

Uh...

Hiss~~~

Hehehe...

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Jiang sat on the bed, slightly tilting his head back, exhaling black and red hot air from his mouth and nose, his eyes wide and bloodshot, filled with an indescribable excitement!

Boom—!

Turbulent Evil Qi suddenly erupted, forming a giant tiger phantom that roared silently with its head held high.

Yes! That’s right! This is it!

This is the true way to use the tiger fiend pill!

Tempering Evil Qi, forcefully tempering Fist Intent! One day’s effort can equal a month of arduous cultivation!

He looked at the panel,

[Current Martial arts]

Longevity Five Qi Skill (Second Layer) (250 / 400)

Iron Arm Fist (Perfection)

Earth Dragon Body (Second Layer) (185 / 300)

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

[Potential Points: 14.3]

Since this was the case, there was no need to fear any violent will.

’Potential, add points! Red Tiger Fist!’

[Red Tiger Fist (Second Layer) (50 / 900), Experience + 900]

[Red Tiger Fist (Second Layer) advanced to Red Tiger Fist (Third Layer)]

[Red Tiger Fist (Third Layer) (50 / 1100)]

[Potential Points: 5.3]

The Evil Qi, so dense it was almost completely black, suddenly erupted!

Qin Jiang sat on the bed, his body trembling uncontrollably, his face distorted with a nearly insane smile, desperately trying to control his body’s destructive instincts.

Swish!

With a flash, he directly crashed through the door and arrived in the courtyard. Ferocious black and red Evil Qi surged towards the sky, forming a massive phantom of a giant tiger, roaring silently.

The heavy Tiger Fiend Fist Intent pressed down, and not a single mosquito or insect could be heard chirping in the entire separate courtyard.

Ha~

Qin Jiang lowered his head slightly, hot air exhaling from his mouth, distorting the surrounding air.

A moment later, the illusory tiger phantom above the courtyard dissipated, and the Fist Intent gradually vanished.

Whoosh—!

He slightly raised his head, his eyes slightly closed, and exhaled deeply, with a hint of relief.

Opening his eyes, his pupils were clear black and white, but in their deepest depths, a black and red glow faintly flickered.

Looking at the panel,

[Current Martial arts]

Longevity Five Qi Skill (Third Layer) (10 / 550)

Iron Arm Fist (Perfection)

Earth Dragon Body (Third Layer) (35 / 400)

Red Tiger Fist (Third Layer) (50 / 1100)

[Potential Points: 5.3]

As expected, ”Earth Dragon Body” and ”Longevity Five Qi Skill” also advanced to the third layer.

His current strength, compared to when his Red Tiger Fist was at the second layer, had increased by at least twofold, which exceeded the normal progression of Red Tiger Fist.

Aside from the reason of refining the pill poison, the greatest credit for this was that these two True Martial arts had also broken through to the third layer.

After adjusting his breathing for a moment and calming his emotions, he couldn’t help but take out a tiger fiend pill.

He held it up slightly. Under the moonlight, it appeared translucent blood-red, with solid fluid inside.

The so-called pill poison was contained within these fluids.

Stimulating the pill poison enhances the strength of the Evil Qi, which in turn strengthens the Fist Intent.

This is equivalent to continuously increasing the speed of a car, forcing the engine to upgrade.

What a brilliant idea! The person who developed this tiger fiend pill must have been a madman, right?

With this kind of training method, aren’t they afraid of losing control and cultivating themselves to death?

As long as one’s own will cannot keep up with the speed of Evil Qi’s increase, Qi Deviation is almost the lightest consequence.

Looking at the tiger fiend pill, his reason told him that the tiger fiend pill was not meant to be used this way.

But his heart told him that to live, and to live well, one must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear.

After concentrating for a long time, he swallowed the tiger fiend pill in his hand.

The next morning, in front of the Outer City gate on the west side of the city, two black horses galloped quickly, carrying Qin Jiang and Tian Shangfei.

Beep— Beep-beep! Beep! (Boss, Young Miss Xu of the Xu Family is already waiting.)

Beep! (Understood.)

Thump-thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!

The heavy sound of horse hooves pounded on the road, raising a cloud of dust.

After proceeding along the main road for a moment, they turned into a small path, and before long, arrived in front of a stretch of farmland.

Looking out, all the crops that should have been harvested had withered and died. The dry yellow leaves had a faint black tint, as if a layer of black mist had covered the earth.

A group of people gathered in front, led by an elderly man dressed like a butler and a woman in white short-sleeved Martial arts attire.

Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, making her appear very capable, with a heroic and spirited aura.

Whoa~

The horses stopped, and the black cloak fluttered slightly.

Xu Yanran turned around, and her eyes widened in surprise the moment she saw Qin Jiang.

This... without the Red Tiger emblem, it’s the fox fur cloak that only those who have mastered Red Tiger Fist are qualified to wear!

Young Master Qin has not only joined the Red Tiger Gang but also mastered Red Tiger Fist!
