Chapter 12 Flaw
I ate about 70% full.
Li Yuan sat on a small wooden board.
He focused his mind and examined the panel.
Heaven rewards diligence.
Name: Li Yuan
[Realm Level: Ninth Grade (Flesh Refining)]
[Exercise: Health Preservation Exercise (Beginner (10/100))]
[Skill: Medical Skills (Minor Success (12/200))]
"90 points short!"
Li Yuan looked serious. Fortunately, he had bought forty catties of cornmeal this time, and with the rest, he could make ends meet for a while even if he didn't go to Xiaolingfang.
Practice!
Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes. Inside his dantian, a surge of heat, under his control, swelled up like a red snake, becoming more than a full circle thicker than when he had just broken through.
After each cycle, Li Yuan could feel his flesh and blood gradually becoming stronger.
One hour... two hours...
Li Yuan only stopped eating when he felt so hungry that his mouth tasted bitter.
"this....."
"Is it already dawn?"
Compared to before, it seems to be able to withstand hunger for longer.
"It must be because I've been eating too much lately!" Li Yuan thought to himself.
He then immediately checked the panel in his mind.
[Exercise: Health Preservation Exercise (Beginner (14/100))]
It increased by 4 points overnight!
Even Li Yuan was taken aback. At this rate, in just over twenty days... he could level up his Health Preservation Technique, and then... reach the eighth rank!
Even if the Wild Wolf Gang finds out his identity in Xiaolingfang, he is not afraid.
The strongest member of the Wild Wolf Gang is its leader, Tie Niu, who once said that he is at the late stage of the eighth rank, not yet at the seventh rank.
Based on this estimate, he could send out at most a ninth-rank martial artist. If he could kill them, the Wild Wolf Gang would definitely not dare to mess with him.
At that time, there will be far fewer people in Xiaolingfang who would dare to covet them.
Earning at least four or five taels of silver at a time is definitely not a problem.
...
breakfast.
Li Yuan ate four pancakes in one go. In the past, Wang Xiulan would have felt sorry for him and said something else, but she would probably have been unable to sleep all night.
That's an astonishing amount of food.
"Mom, from now on, let's have two meals a day. Make sure to cook a little more in the morning."
Li Yuan said.
Wang Xiulan thought for a moment and understood his meaning. With everyone struggling so much right now, their family's three meals a day made them an easy target for others to covet. Otherwise, Aunt Liu wouldn't have come to borrow grain last time.
"Okay, I'll make more. It's hot now, so eating something cold is fine for the time being."
She nodded, then looked at Li Jun, who was happily eating, and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you get out of here, okay?"
"Mom, I understand. When I go out, I always tell myself that I'm hungry and I'll just drink water."
Little Li Jun proudly tilted his head back, blinked, and anticipated praise, but... Wang Xiulan not only didn't praise him, but instead pinched his cheek, "Your complexion is getting better and better, this... won't do!"
He then looked at Li Yuan and said, "You fix it, so you don't give yourself away."
"understood."
Since what happened last time, Wang Xiulan has been extremely cautious. Whether it's her or Li Jun, in this world... it's too dangerous if you're not careful.
As for Li Yuan, he always appeared sickly when he was out in public.
...
"Okay, let's go out and have some fun."
After Li Yuan's actions, the malnourished Li Jun reappeared, but upon closer inspection, some changes were noticeable. There was nothing that could be done; he had been eating well and had gained some weight.
"Let's go..."
Li Jun cheered and ran outside.
Looking at him, Li Yuan smiled slightly. The little guy was really heartbreaking when he was sensible, but at other times he was just like a child and liked to play.
Before, I was too weak from hunger, but now I'm fine... I'm having a blast.
As for Li Yuan... he returned to his room and continued his cultivation.
If he reaches the eighth rank sooner, he can act more freely.
...
It was lunchtime, and the family of three was eating in the kitchen.
"Everyone come out..."
"hurry up......"
The sound of the iron ox!
"Mother, get ready and stay home, don't go out." After giving these instructions, Li Yuan hurriedly left.
"Uncle Niu...didn't you just pay your dues not long ago?"
At this moment, someone asked in a humble voice.
"It's not a routine fee!"
Tie Niu said impatiently with a cold face.
Upon hearing that it wasn't a customary fee, the people in Liushufang breathed a sigh of relief; if it wasn't money, then everything was fine.
Li Yuanshan arrived late, and as always, he stood at the very back of the crowd.
"Watch closely!"
Tie Niu's henchman produced a portrait, and Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat after just one glance.
That's exactly how I looked in Xiaolingfang, which means the Wild Wolf Gang has tracked down the medicine dealer!
"Wow, that's fast!"
"This is an enemy of our Wild Wolf Gang. He killed two of our members. He's probably a medicine merchant who can make a high-quality external wound medicine. If you see him, report it immediately. Our gang leader said he'll pay one tael of silver!"
One tael of silver... and the crowd erupted in uproar.
Their eyes were shining.
In times like these, one tael of silver can buy wheat bran, enough for one meal a day, and it's not impossible to last for three months.
"But... if you dare to conceal this..."
Tie Niu's bull-like eyes glared, and his internal energy erupted instantly, unleashing a powerful aura that sent shivers down everyone's spines. "Kill without mercy!"
Three words!
Even in the sweltering summer heat, everyone felt a chill running through their bodies.
"No...no way!"
"If you see it, report it immediately!"
"Right, how could we possibly turn down money?"
...
One, two, three... they said one after another in a fawning manner.
Tie Niu nodded to his follower, who immediately put the portrait away. He then walked over to Li Yuan and said, "Ah Yuan, you're a doctor, and your father is a renowned physician in this area. Do you know who's good at making ointments for external injuries?"
"No... Uncle Niu, I've never heard my father mention it, so I know even less about it. As you know, my medical skills are mediocre, otherwise, my business wouldn't have been this bad for so long."
Li Yuan quickly said.
"real?"
Tie Niu asked tentatively.
"real!"
Li Yuan immediately assured him, but inwardly he felt uneasy because he saw that Uncle Chen was looking at him with a different gaze than the others, but he quickly looked away.
He didn't know if Uncle Chen had really guessed it, but he had to solve the problem; it was up to him to decide what to do.
"I hope you won't push me!"
Li Yuan already had quite a few ideas in mind.
.....
back home.
Li Yuan opened his medical book, considering what methods to use; he disliked being passive.
"Is Yuan home?"
Just then, Uncle Chen arrived on his own.
"Uncle Chen is here."
Li Yuan stood up from behind the counter, his face still bearing his usual smile. "Uncle Chen, please sit down. I'll pour you a bowl of water."
"I won't pour any more water. I'll just say a few words and leave."
Uncle Chen waved his hand, sat down, and deliberately moved closer to Li Yuan. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Don't worry about my friendship with Old Li. No matter what, I won't tell anyone about that wound medicine."
"You didn't tell Uncle Chen when he went hunting in the mountains without permission last time, so don't worry!"
