99　　Then did Chen Jie dare to kill Yu Biao?

　　Both of them were low-level managers and the faces of their respective gangs. If they died unclearly, what would their gangs be able to do?

　　There will definitely be an investigation. If the truth is revealed, the entire Cao Gang will hunt him down. Chen Jie doesn't dare to gamble that he can survive the hunt by the entire Cao Gang!

　　Therefore, it is better to kill Biao openly in the ring.

　　In this way, not only can he defeat his opponent, but he can also show his face in the fishing gang.

　　Assassination is out of hatred, but killing someone openly is a political achievement that can be shown off in the fishing gang, and it can be considered a credit.

　　If you want to climb up, you can't do it without merit!

　　This is the purpose of Chen Jie.

　　Wu Zhong looked at Chen Jie at this time and said seriously: "Jiu Si, this is no joke. Are you sure you can enter the Flesh Training Realm within four days?"

　　Doctor Bai also looked at Chen Jie and said, "Yes, Jiu Si is not joking. I know you want to stand out, but this is not the way to gamble your life!"

　　Doctor Bai spoke earnestly, while Wu Hong said, "Jiu Si, why don't you stop hanging out with the fishing gang? What they do is not clean. Why don't you follow me? When I get better, I'll go back and talk to Master to see if I can help you get a constable status. Joining a gang is not a good choice after all."

　　Wu Hong is worthy of being the one who was brainwashed by Zhang Liye. Even though his whole family are gang members, he just looks down on gang members.

　　For some reason, he has a stubborn sense of justice in his bones.

　　They believe that the government is just and that gang members are disrupting society and are the scum of society.

　　In fact, this makes sense in other dynasties, but now it's Daqian!

　　The Daqian Dynasty is not like this!

　　Chen Jie listened to the persuasion of several people, and then he said: "Uncle Zhong, Master, Brother Hong, I actually haven't told you something."

　　"Oh, what is it?"

　　Several people looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Do you still remember the ox-horned pomfret that Yu Biao has been looking for?"

　　"Remember."

　　Yu Biao is not the only one who is looking for the ox-horn pomfret. The fishing gang has also been looking for it.

　　Chen Jie said: "Well, I have found this fish."

　　"What?!"

　　Seeing Chen Jie speaking so calmly, several people widened their eyes. How is it possible that you found this ox-horn pomfret?

　　The Fishing Gang and the Cao Gang sent out hundreds of people but couldn't find it, and you found it so easily?

　　Chen explained, and said to Su Yunjin: "Yunjin, go to the room and bring a fish basket."

　　Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin immediately went back to the room and quickly brought back a fish basket. When he opened it, he immediately saw the bighead carp!

　　Doctor Bai, Wu Zhong, and Wu Hong all widened their eyes.

　　It turned out to be a horn pomfret. Chen Jie actually got this precious fish. This...

　　"Jiu Si, how on earth did you do it?!"

　　Several people looked at Chen Jie in surprise.

　　Chen Jie smiled and said, "Lucky, lucky!"

　　After hearing this, Wu Hong said, "It's okay if you're lucky. In the future, you should be more lucky and help me catch a few fish to replenish my body."

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "There must be some in the Mian River as well!"

　　Wu Zhong turned to look at Doctor Bai and said, "Dad, with this ox-horn pomfret, can Jiu Si break through the flesh training realm within four days?"

　　Chen Jie also looked at Doctor Bai.

　　Doctor Bai stroked his beard and said, "It takes at least twenty years for this ox-horn pomfret to grow to this size. It can be made into a blood-replenishing soup with the addition of 16 Chinese herbs such as wild ginseng, astragalus, and cassia seed. It is very nutritious and can help you break through the realm of training your body!"

　　After hearing this, several people were very excited, especially Chen Jie, who clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master!"

Chapter 103 Yu Biao: Chen Jiusi, do you dare to fight?

　　Blood-replenishing soup warms the body and nourishes Qi and blood. It is a top-notch tonic recipe.

　　Before a warrior can transform his strength, the most important thing is to nourish the blood and replenish Qi. Training to the point where Qi and blood are abundant and the body is as soft as a loose cloth is the standard for a physical warrior.

　　In order to achieve fullness of Qi and blood and a soft body, many conditions are needed.

　　But to sum up, practice and supplementation are essential.

　　It is easy to understand the practice, it strengthens the body and strengthens the Qi and blood.

　　However, supplementation is equally important. If you only practice without supplementing, the result will be deficiency of Qi and blood, which will damage the origin.

　　I often hear people say that a poor scholar should be good at literature but a rich martial artist should be good at it. What being rich in martial arts means is that when practicing martial arts, you should also take supplements.

　　Chen Jie's current condition is that he lacks something tonic. Now that he has this ox-horn pomfret, combined with Doctor Bai's prescription, along with ginseng, astragalus, and other herbs that can replenish essence and energy, he can make a bowl of blood-replenishing soup.

　　Doctor Bai looked at the ox-horned pomfret in front of him and said, "Jiu Si, come in with me."

　　Upon hearing this, Chen Jie followed Doctor Bai into the pharmacy.

　　Doctor Bai gave Chen Jie a prescription for a decoction.

　　There are many Chinese medicinal herbs in it, the most important one of which is ox-horn pomfret.

　　Doctor Bai said, "Jiu Si, remember this prescription. This is the blood-replenishing soup. It is also a good prescription. I will take this opportunity to teach you this prescription."

　　Chen Jie understood the value of this prescription. Prescriptions like this that can help warriors improve their realm and strength are the foundation of a doctor.

　　Whether it is the previous skin-strengthening soup or the current blood-replenishing soup, they are both very expensive prescriptions. With these two prescriptions, Chen Jie can even obtain the identity of a pharmacist in a wealthy family and live a life of no worries about food and clothing from then on.

　　It can be said that Doctor Bai is keeping his special skills to himself.

　　Chen Jie immediately thanked Doctor Bai.

　　Doctor Bai looked at his own medicinal herbs and searched carefully, and found that a ginseng that was more than ten years old was missing.

　　These days, Wu Hong and Wu Zhong were injured one after another, and both of their injuries damaged their qi and blood. Doctor Bai used up most of the qi and blood replenishing substances such as ginseng, astragalus, and angelica that he had stockpiled over the years.

　　Therefore, when preparing this blood-replenishing soup, I was a little stretched.

　　Doctor Bai thought for a moment and said to Chen Jie, "This wild ginseng is very important. If it is missing, the medicinal effect will be greatly lost. Master does have some other herbs in stock. It seems you will need to wait. Master needs to find someone to borrow some wild ginseng for you to use."

　　Doctor Bai said this and immediately went to find Wu Zhong and asked him to send someone to Sanfutan Town to find Doctor Li. Doctor Li had a twenty-year-old ginseng that he could borrow.

　　Wu Zhong went to do it immediately.

　　Chen Jie was very grateful for what Doctor Bai had done. This kind of behavior of borrowing medicine from others requires one to bear in mind the favor, and when the medicine is returned in the future, a thank-you gift must be given.

　　Chen Jie said: "Master, this is a favor."

　　Doctor Bai waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. I am your master. While I am still alive, I will take care of things for you. When you all grow up, I won't have to worry about you anymore. It's time for me to enjoy my life."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie was very moved. He even understood a little bit what it meant to be a teacher for a day, a father for life.

　　The relationship between master and apprentice in ancient times was sometimes really similar to that between father and son.

　　This may also be related to the education system. In ancient times, a master might only accept one or two people to inherit his skills in his lifetime. He was really training them as his own sons.

　　In modern education, the master has long lost his meaning and has become a teacher. A teacher may teach thousands of students in his lifetime, so how can he give his true heart?

　　After thinking about this, Chen Jie felt a lot of emotion.

　　Wu Zhong sent the disciples of the fishing gang to do this, and they will probably come back very late.

　　My Xiantao Town is still some distance away from Sanfutan Town, and there are few horses in the south, so I can only walk there, which takes some time.

　　During this process, Doctor Bai asked Chen Jie to keep the ox-horn pomfret in a basin of water.

　　From afternoon to evening, Chen Jie had nothing else to do but practice martial arts in the yard.

　　For some reason, the little kid had set his eyes on the black pomfret and always squatted beside the basin to watch it. Su Yunjin was afraid that the little guy would be greedy and hurt the black pomfret.

　　So I just kept looking at the little bean.

　　The day passed quickly.

　　It was past eight o'clock in the evening when the fisherman's friend came back and brought Doctor Bai a wild ginseng.

　　This mountain ginseng is longer than the one dug by Chen Jie, as long as a finger bone. But it takes at least ten years to grow just the length of a finger bone, and its value is ten times higher.

　　This wild ginseng is conservatively estimated to weigh more than thirty taels.

　　Chen Jie's entire current fortune is not enough.

　　At this time, Doctor Bai asked Chen Jie whether he wanted to start boiling the medicine immediately.

　　Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer."

　　I have been waiting for a long time, so a little time won't make a difference. More importantly, it is almost dawn and my intelligence system is about to be updated.

　　Bai Langzhong's blood-replenishing soup is indeed very good, but is there any possibility of improvement?

　　Chen Jie wanted to use his intelligence system to try to improve the efficacy of some medicines.

　　After all, I had improved the skin-strengthening soup very well last time.

　　Doctor Bai didn't say anything else, just pointed at the ox-horn pomfret and said, "This blood-replenishing soup doesn't require the entire ox-horn pomfret, but the entire body of the ox-horn pomfret is a treasure, don't waste it."

　　"Look, the bones of this ox-horn pomfret, especially the pair of fish horns, must be collected and dried in the sun. Grind them into powder and they will become a very precious medicine. Water dragon bone powder is one of the auxiliary medicines for refining bone strengthening pills."

　　"Strengthen your bones!"

　　Chen Jie asked doubtfully. Doctor Bai nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is to strengthen bones."

　　"Ming Jin trains the skin and flesh, An Jin strengthens the tendons and bones. After training the flesh realm, you need to train the twelve major tendons in the body, stretching them as long as a willow. This is the purpose of training in the next realm, also known as the Willow Tendon Realm."

　　"After the tendons are formed, one starts to train the bones of the whole body. When one's bones are as strong as steel, it is the fourth realm, the Iron Bone Realm."

　　"And the elixir that assists in cultivation from the Willow Tendon Realm to the Iron Bone Realm includes the Bone Strengthening Pill, which has similar effects to the Skin Strengthening Soup and the Blood Replenishing Soup."

　　"And the bones of this ox-horn pomfret, if you dry them in the sun and grind them into powder, you'll get water dragon bone powder, which is a very important auxiliary medicine. In fact, the most valuable part of this fish should be the pair of fish horns. The blood-replenishing soup made from its skin and flesh is pretty good."

　　Chen Jie understood what Doctor Bai said. The real function of this ox-horn pomfret is to be used as an auxiliary ingredient in the bone-strengthening pills, while making the blood-replenishing soup has become a secondary function.

　　In fact, if you think about it, one is the Iron Bone Realm in the late stage of Dark Power, and the other is the Flesh Training Realm in the late stage of Bright Power. You can tell at a glance that there is a huge gap.
