Chapter 53: Body Tempering Bath

Envoy Feng took a deep breath and tried to control his loss of composure, but his voice still trembled a little: "Then... do you know the solution?"

"Of course I know." Su Chen answered very happily.

"What is the solution?" Envoy Feng's eyes lit up. He did not doubt the truth of Su Chen's words, because since Su Chen could see through his symptoms at a glance, it was enough to show that Su Chen had a deep understanding of his disease.

"The solution is in that martial arts."

Su Chen raised a mocking smile and pointed to the half of "The Finger of the King of Light".

Envoy Feng was shocked. At this moment, he no longer cared about the dignity of the envoy. He rushed over to grab the half of the martial arts and read it as if he had found a treasure.

At this moment, Su Chen said leisurely: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, it's in the second half."

"..."

At this time, the envoy could no longer keep calm. He raised his bloodshot eyes and stared at Su Chen, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What can you do to give me the second half?"

Su Chen stretched out three fingers leisurely: "Three conditions!"

"First, sell the snake blood ginseng to me."

"Second, the first half of "The Finger of the Bright King" will be purchased by Wubaotang at the market price."

"Third, I will teach you the second half of "The Finger of the Bright King" bit by bit according to the situation. During this time, you must obey me!"

As soon as these three conditions were said, the envoy almost immediately subconsciously said: "No!"

The first two points are easy to say, but the third point, let a strong man like me from the imperial capital obey a teenager in Qinghe City?

This is too embarrassing. If this is reported back to the imperial capital, I will lose face!

The envoy could not accept such conditions anyway.

Su Chen said indifferently: "If you are willing, then you are willing. If you are not willing, then forget it! The opportunity has been given to you, just don't regret it."

In the previous life, I don't know how many peerless masters cried and shouted to be Su Chen's followers, but they were all rejected by him.

In this life, having the opportunity to obey me is a blessing that the other party cannot cultivate in ten lifetimes. If you still refuse, it can only be said to be stupid.

The envoy was silent for a long time, and it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart.

Until the moment before Su Chen completely lost his patience, the envoy finally made up his mind and said: "Okay! Then I will listen to you!"

The desire for survival finally defeated everything. Even if the envoy could not guarantee whether Su Chen was lying to him, it was better to have hope than no hope.

And the shopkeeper Min on the side opened his mouth blankly, almost unable to believe his ears. The envoy actually agreed to obey Su Chen? Is this not a dream?

"I hope you can keep your promise and teach this messenger the method to crack it!" Envoy Feng stared at Su Chen and said in a deep voice.

Su Chen said lazily: "The way the true qi runs in the second half of "The Finger of the Bright King" can just restrain the symptoms of the twisted and blocked meridians in your chest. As long as you practice the second half of "The Finger of the Bright King", this symptom will slowly reverse and disappear completely in the end."

"However, since an agreement has been reached, the name should be changed, right?" Su Chen glanced at Envoy Feng indifferently.

Envoy Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, and after a long while, he reluctantly said: "What do you want to call me?"

"I am a more easy-going person. You can just call me Young Master Su like everyone else." Su Chen said, "As for you, of course you can no longer call yourself this messenger. What is your name?"

"Feng Qixing!" Envoy Feng spit out three words.

"Well, I will call you by your name from now on." Su Chen waved his hand.

Feng Qixing nodded and said, "If you have anything to do, you can order me to do it now!"

Because he was eager to get the second half of the Ming Wang Finger, he was naturally very active.

Su Chen smiled faintly: "You don't need to do anything now, you just need to stay in the Wubao Hall to practice, and don't go anywhere. Of course, I can teach you the first part of the second half of the Ming Wang Finger now."

Feng Qixing was also stunned: "What do you need me to do now?"

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, you just need to stay here, and you can show up when I need you."

"In addition, the fact that you obey me must be kept secret!" Su Chen ordered.

Feng Qixing nodded hurriedly. He wished that the fact that he obeyed Su Chen was kept secret, so as not to embarrass himself if it was spread out.

"Mr. Su, this is the snake blood ginseng you want." Shopkeeper Min put the snake blood ginseng in an exquisite jade box and presented it to him.

In addition to the snake blood ginseng, there was also a silver note of 15,000 taels, which was the income from selling the first half of "The Finger of the Bright King" to Wubaotang. After deducting the 5,000 taels for buying the snake blood ginseng, there was still 15,000 taels left.

Su Chen put away the snake blood ginseng and the silver note and said, "Manager Min, I hope you don't spread it out. I sold the first half of "The Finger of the Bright King."

Manager Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, we at Wubaotang will keep the identity of the seller absolutely confidential. As long as the seller does not agree, we will never reveal the seller's identity."

Su Chen hummed, then took out a pen and paper, wrote down the first part of the formula of the second half of "The Finger of the Ming King", and left it to Feng Qixing.

Then, Su Chen got up and left with the snake blood ginseng and silver notes.

Shopkeeper Min stood up and said, "Mr. Su, I'll take you there."

"No need!"

Su Chen left three words and disappeared at the door.

Shopkeeper Min couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Mr. Su was really mysterious. It must be said that he was more and more curious about the background of this Mr. Su.

What kind of power can cultivate such a demon genius?

"Mr. Feng, I'll arrange a room for you to stay in?" Shopkeeper Min didn't think about it anymore, and asked Feng Qixing instead. He knew that from today, Feng Qixing should live in the Wubao Hall in Qinghe City for a while.

"Hmm!" Feng Qixing nodded with a sullen face, picked up the first part of the formula of the second half of "The Finger of the Ming King" written by Su Chen, and muttered to himself, "I hope this kid didn't lie to me!"

Jiang Family Mansion.

Su Chen returned to his room and immediately began to prepare the body-quenching bath.

The reason why he bought the snake blood ginseng and other medicinal materials on the list was for this body-quenching bath.

The body-quenching bath is made up of thirty-six kinds of medicinal materials and needs to be soaked for a full ten days. Its purpose is to thoroughly quench the skin and flesh of the whole body, remove the dross and retain the essence, and remove all impurities in the skin and flesh.

After such quenching, the skin of the whole body will become extremely tough, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is invulnerable to swords and guns.

Su Chen attaches great importance to the quenching of the body, because he has seen in his previous life that some strong men are obviously excellent in all aspects of cultivation and martial arts, but because their own physique did not keep up, they suffered a great loss in actual combat.

This is like a wooden barrel. The shortest board of the barrel determines its upper limit. If you don't want your upper limit to be lowered, you must have no weaknesses.

Su Chen's goal in this life is to achieve the highest level of martial arts, so he will naturally not let his physique become his weakness. Not only that, he also wants to make his physique his advantage.
