Apocalypse: Grinding EXP through Hunting

Chapter 244: Chapter 224: Tang Wen: Why Not Set a Small Goal First (Part 2)

[Jingyi Medical Clinic]

He looked at it from every angle.

Finally, he spotted something wrong with the middle of the sign.

Two characters were missing!

’Perfecting Essence.’

So it was the ’Perfecting Essence Medical Clinic.’ Interesting.

The attendant at the entrance recognized Tang Wen and hurried forward to take his horse.

"The Seventh Young Master is here!"

he announced.

People coming and going on the main street all turned to look.

Tang Wen’s movement to dismount froze for a beat.

’Why do I feel so embarrassed?’

"That was a good shout. Don’t do it again."

"Huh? Yes, yes, of course."

The attendant hastily admitted his mistake.

Liang Yu sat upright on her horse, her slender waist held straight, basking in the crowd’s gazes with a proud expression that seemed to say, ’Look, look! See how handsome my Seventh Young Master is!’

Most of the passersby were men, and their eyes were drawn to her hourglass figure and the pleasant sight of her strained clothing.

Who had time to look at Tang Wen?

"Seventh Young Master, please come inside."

Elder Physician Liu, his hair and beard half-white but his spirit vigorous, came out to greet him personally.

Tang Wen quickened his pace. "How could I let Elder Liu greet me personally! This won’t do for the future. You should remain seated, Elder Sir. I will come to pay my respects."

"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!"

Elder Liu felt a warmth in his heart and smiled as he led him through the door.

Speaking of whom, this Elder Liu was quite a legendary figure himself.

His Martial Arts level was only at the Martial Artist Realm, yet he was over one hundred and twenty years old.

At such an advanced age, he was still strong and healthy, with a thick head of hair.

Just last year, he had even taken a sixteen-year-old concubine.

He could be called the founding master of health cultivation in Ganshan City.

"Young Master, are you here to regulate your body?"

The two of them walked into an inner room, sat down, and had a cup of tea before Elder Liu spoke.

Then, without waiting for Tang Wen to speak, he stroked his salt-and-pepper beard and observed, "However, from what I can see, your body is exceptionally robust—even most Extraordinary individuals can’t compare! As the saying goes, all medicine has its poisons. You have no need for regulation."

Liang Yu, the pretty widow, keenly caught the key phrases "exceptionally robust" and "Extraordinary individuals can’t compare."

She had a sudden realization. No wonder the Hall Master had seemed a bit strange when he left this morning.

It turned out the Young Master was just too powerful.

"Elder Liu, I’ve come today mainly to learn some Health Cultivation Techniques."

"Health Cultivation Techniques?" Elder Liu was even more surprised.

’But you’re not even eighteen!’

’Seventh Young Master!’

’Starting on health cultivation before you’re even eighteen?’

’How are you making us old folks feel?’

Suddenly, he recalled a rumor from the sect: the Seventh Young Master was the Third Miss’s intimate guest.

’His rise to power wasn’t just due to his talent in Martial Arts, but also his skills in bed!’

Elder Liu understood now. ’The Seventh Young Master is so handsome, yet I never would have thought his life was so difficult.’

’Truly deserving of sympathy.’

However, he recalled seeing the Third Miss a few months ago. Judging by her features, she seemed to be a virgin.

Moreover, the Third Miss’s beauty could be called unparalleled.

He remembered what Shui Yun looked like.

Elder Liu’s sympathy for Tang Wen vanished without a trace. "Young Master, to prepare for a rainy day shows true foresight! Please, follow me."

The three of them arrived at a quiet room.

Pushing the door open, they saw that three of the walls were lined with bookshelves.

However, they were mostly filled with books on pharmacology and medicine.

Elder Liu led Tang Wen to a small bookcase and pointed to the collection inside:

"There are thousands of health cultivation methods in the world.

But many are flawed. Not only are they ineffective, but practicing them for too long can even cripple you.

These seven are the ones I have carefully selected.

Young Master, please take a look. This is the ’Medicinal Food Replenishment Book.’

It discusses daily diet. I wonder, is the Young Master’s daily expenditure of energy large?"

"It’s not small at all! When my Young Master practices his Martial Arts, he often goes from morning to night without sleep or rest, sometimes even forgetting to eat."

Liang Yu chimed in.

"That simply won’t do! You must replenish your energy!" Elder Liu said, stuffing the book into his hands.

Tang Wen took the book and flipped through it casually.

Ginseng Deer Antler Bone Marrow Soup, Warming Kidney and Yang Wine... it had everything of the sort.

"A good book!"

"Young Master, look at these next few!" Elder Liu said, a hint of pride in his voice.

"’Stinging Dragon Qi Replenishing Technique,’ ’Sun-Devouring Rejuvenation Technique,’ ’Jade Firm Essence Technique,’ and ’Vertical Thousand Gold Lock.’"

Tang Wen saw the pattern.

First replenish your qi, then rejuvenate, then persevere, and finally lock it in!

"Brilliant! Elder Liu, your knowledge is truly profound. You could establish your own sect!"

"Not at all, not at all. You flatter me, Young Master, you flatter me,"

Elder Liu laughed so hard his beard curled up, feeling as though he had met a kindred spirit.

He picked up the last two books. They were filled with strange movements and accompanying new Breathing Techniques.

No matter how he looked at them, the movements resembled yoga poses.

’I’ll have my senior sister and Liang Yu practice these later.’

Today was not a wasted trip. Tang Wen said directly, "There’s no time to lose. I’ll start learning now. Please guide me, Elder Liu."

"Oh? In such a hurry?" Elder Liu’s hand trembled, and he nearly tore out his beard. "The Young Master is truly decisive and swift!"

"Never wait for what you can have now."

"How philosophical!" Elder Liu pondered the phrase for a moment and gave a thumbs-up.

In the backyard of the Jingyi Medical Clinic, Tang Wen practiced with intense focus on a Daylily Rug laid out on the ground.

With a Health Care Master like Elder Liu guiding him,

mastering the basics of the technique was even simpler than he had imagined.

Tang Wen had specifically come to the medical clinic to learn a Health Cultivation Technique, and not just to become stronger.

The main reason was that the techniques he’d practiced in the underground Armory a couple of days ago weren’t potent enough.

In the beginning, they could still increase his Attributes by around 0.1.

But Basic Techniques were mostly interconnected, their principles all boiling down to just a few core concepts.

It was like going to a bathhouse—no matter which one you visited, you always had to go up to the third floor and turn right to get the *real* service.

After practicing twenty or thirty Basic Techniques, by the time he reached the midpoint of each, a breakthrough would only increase his Attributes by a few hundredths of a point.

By the end, it was a mere 0.01.

It was like a piece of meat that was tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.

[Stinging Dragon Qi Replenishing Technique, Beginner (31/500)]

It had taken him a full half an hour from when he started learning to gain 31 experience points.

This was much slower than when he had practiced Basic Techniques.

Instead of being alarmed, Tang Wen was delighted.

And that was with the guidance of a master.
