Chapter 15 Friends and Foes

Kojiro Miyamoto crossed the ten-foot-high courtyard wall and landed on his butt, causing dust to fly everywhere with a bang.

"idiot!"

Kojiro Miyamoto felt that his tail bone was broken, and he couldn't help but cursed.

However, just as he spoke, four more people fell from the air, and they were none other than his four ronin followers.

Seeing one of them coming towards him, Miyamoto Kojiro quickly turned over to avoid it.

When the five people struggled and stood up with each other's support, the four ronin drew their swords and rushed into the gym.

"Idiot!" Kojiro Miyamoto shouted at the four of them with a sullen face, "Can you beat her? Go back to the concession!"

"Hayi!"

After returning to his residence in the Japanese Concession, Miyamoto Kojiro went to the embassy alone.

When he met a beardless middle-aged man in a suit, Miyamoto Kojiro said apologetically: "Sir, Consul, I failed in your trust and failed to let that woman use her magical power."

The Japanese consul frowned when he heard this and asked, "You didn't start a fight?"

"The fight started. But she was too fast. Before I could react, she rushed over and threw me out of the gym wall."

The Japanese consul frowned even more tightly, "To be able to throw you out so easily, there aren't many warriors in China who have this ability, right?"

Hearing this, Miyamoto Kojiro was a little embarrassed, but decided to tell the truth, "The consul thinks highly of me. My strength is not that strong. China has prosperous martial arts now. There are at least ten people who can deal with me like this."

After hearing this, the Japanese consul was silent for a while, and then spoke again, "Mr. Miyamoto, please tell me honestly, how much do you believe the rumors about the Wuji Gym?"

Miyamoto Kojiro said: "Before today, I only believed one or two points; but now, I think it is at least five points credible!"

"Feitian, sword energy..." The Japanese consul walked to the window, looked at Tianjin City outside, and murmured with a strange look in his eyes: "Is there really such a magical power?"

Wu Yue wore a women's suit, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and walked into the French Concession.

She came to see Hao Xinyi today. If Hao Xinyi did not agree to join Wuji Tao, she would look for someone else to be an alchemist.

It’s just that the master and the alchemist she wants must not only have talent and foundation, but most importantly, have good character.

That day, the master and apprentice saw Hao Xinyi giving free medical treatment to poor people in the slums, and they were impressed by his character, so they asked him about it.

What's more, Hao Xinyi comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but studied Western medicine. If you can't recruit Hao Xinyi, it will be difficult to find someone with similar conditions.

Otherwise, Wu Yue would not have to come and ask in person.

After entering the Mission Hospital in the French Concession, Wu Yue met Hao Xinyi in a doctor's office.

Hao Xinyi was packing the medical kit and seemed to be planning to go to see a doctor again - I didn't know if he was violating the hospital's rules.

"Dr. Hao, how have you considered what I said?" Wu Yue asked straight to the point.

Hao Xinyi hesitated for a moment and said: "I...I studied Western medicine. I really don't know how to make elixirs, and I'm not interested in it. Girl, I'd better hire someone else."

Hearing Hao Xinyi's direct refusal, Wu Yue was not annoyed, but said: "Does Dr. Hao know about the vision a few days ago?"

"I know." Hao Xinyi nodded, seeing that he couldn't leave for a while, so he simply sat down.

"Does Dr. Hao know what that vision means?" Wu Yue asked again.

Hao Xinyi shook his head.

"It represents the revival of spiritual energy, and it means that some rules of this world have changed, and medical and medicinal practices will also be affected.

Since Dr. Hao often goes to free clinics for poor people, he must have a heart for charity. But has Dr. Hao ever thought about how many people can be saved through free clinics like yours?

If you join Wuji Tao, have my Wuji Tao martial arts inheritance, understand the influence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the world, and achieve success in medicine, you can save more people."

After saying that, Wu Yue's palms were covered with a layer of faint purple energy, she picked up a glass on the table, squeezed it gently, and crushed the glass to pieces.

"This is the power of true energy and an application of spiritual energy. What does Dr. Hao think?"

After hearing this, Hao Xinyi was shocked at first, but after calming down, he asked: "It can kill people, but can it save people?"

Wu Yue smiled, "Of course."

Then she came directly to Hao Xinyi, tapped his shoulder with her fingers, and a stream of innate Qi entered Hao Xinyi's body, then punched away and then came back.

Hao Xinyi's eyes widened because he felt that his body had become noticeably more comfortable.

Since this Qi makes a healthy person feel comfortable, it must also have some effect on the patient.

Hao Xinyi immediately stood up, followed the old etiquette and bowed his hands to Wu Yue and said: "I am willing to join the Wuji Tao, and I also ask the girl to teach me such martial arts!"

Wu Yue nodded with a smile, "Then pack up and follow me to the gym to salute."

···

Shen County, Hebei Province.

Nanxiaoying Village.

On this day, the courtyard where Li Cunyi lived was quite lively because Zhang Zhankui and Shang Yunxiang came to see him.

"Master, how did you feel after taking the two Peiyuan Pills last time?" Shang Yunxiang asked.

Li Cunyi laughed, stroked his white beard and said: "It is indeed a panacea. I feel that I can live for at least two or three more years."

Shang Yunxiang couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then he took out a small porcelain bottle and said: "This is a body-tempering pill. I tried it with one pill. It has the effect of driving away the filth in the body and strengthening the body. Master, you can try it."

"

Li Cunyi took the small porcelain bottle, opened it, smelled it, and asked, "Should I use it now?"

Shang Yunxiang said: "My body still feels a little uncomfortable when this medicine takes effect. Master will use it now. Brother Zhang and I are just watching."

Li Cunyi nodded.

Then he went to the house to take it.

After the elixir entered his abdomen, within a short while, Li Cunyi felt as if thousands of knives were scraping his body. Fortunately, the feeling was not very strong, otherwise he might have fainted from the pain.

However, even so, after a while Li Cunyi was in pain and was sweating all over his head.

This sweat is sticky, dirty, and very uncomfortable when it sticks to the body.

Seeing Li Cunyi clinging to the armrest of the chair, obviously feeling very uncomfortable but gritting his teeth without making a sound, Shang Yunxiang and Zhang Zhankui were a little worried.

Shang Yunxiang even felt that he was a little reckless. After all, the old man was already 70 years old. If he could not survive the pain of tempering and lost his life, he would be extremely unfilial.

Fortunately, an hour later, Li Cunyi finally came over.

"Quickly, let someone prepare hot water. I want to take a good bath." Li Cunyi said in a weak voice.

Waiting for his family and disciples to prepare a large bucket of hot water, Li Cunyi lay down in it, feeling so comfortable that his consciousness was a little wandering.

He recalled that when a Westerner, known as the strongest white man, showed off his power in the capital, no one dared to challenge him. It was he who climbed into the ring regardless of his own safety, defeated him, and became famous in one fell swoop.

He also recalled the time when he taught martial arts to soldiers under Liu Kun's account and went out to join hands with them to fight against Japan.

He also recalled joining the Boxer Rebellion, fighting against the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and braving a hail of bullets to single-handedly kill the foreign devils.

In the past few years, his health has been deteriorating. Although the world has reached the Republic of China, the country's prosperity seems to be far away, and it is still bullied by foreign powers.

He originally thought that he would have to watch China leave in devastation in this life.

But he never expected that first there would be a vision of heaven and earth, and then there would be such a magical elixir that would rejuvenate him.

Even if he can only live for one more year, he must do more things and have more hope of seeing the rise of China...

"Brother Zhongyuan, brother Zhongyuan, I'm here to see you!"

A sound like a steel spear or an iron halberd came from afar, interrupting Li Cunyi's thoughts.

‘Li Tongchen?’
