Chapter 24 Shishi River, Golden Scale Fish

Qin Jiang was stunned when he heard this, "Take off your clothes?"

Wang Minglang took a puff from his big pipe, blew out a cloud of white smoke, and grinned, "A young man still cares about this? There are no outsiders, so what are you afraid of, just the two of us?"

Qin Jiang's eyes moved back and forth, and he nodded with some confusion, "Okay then."

After saying that, he started to take off his clothes directly.

"Hey, hey, are you really taking it off? I'm just kidding, just take off your upper body. The medicinal bath is for your arms, not your legs." Wang Minglang quickly raised his hand to stop him.

suck--!

Qin Jiang took a deep breath, silently took off his upper body clothes, and jumped directly into the copper vat.

"Hey, do you think I'm smart? I knew from the beginning that I had to use a copper vat. If I replaced it with a porcelain vat, I would have been trampled to pieces countless times!"

Wang Minglang held a big smoking gun in his mouth and used a long pipe to draw water from the sink into the copper tank.

After a while, the water in the copper vat had covered Qin Jiang's shoulders, leaving only his head exposed.

No longer pouring water, Wang Minglang walked to the shelf on the left, grabbed a few herbs, walked to the right, picked up the mortar and started pounding the medicine.

After a while, several herbs were pounded into paste. He walked to the copper vat with the mortar and said, "Raise your arm."

Qin Jiang raised his arms. He directly grabbed the medicinal paste and applied it to Qin Jiang's arms. In just a few seconds, the paste formed a soft shell on his arms.

"Okay, let it go," he said.

When his arms were submerged in the water, a chemical reaction suddenly seemed to occur, and the body temperature of his arms rose rapidly.

Wang Minglang walked aside, took out a porcelain bottle from the secret compartment, walked to the copper vat and poured water into it. It was a yellow liquid.

In an instant, a layer of yellow mist evaporated along with a pungent smell. At the same time, the clear water was quickly dyed light yellow, and the heat in the arms quickly climbed up and became scorching hot.

Not idle, Wang Minglang walked to the medicine shelf and pressed a button.

Huh~~!

A rushing sound of wind appeared under the copper cylinder, and flames burned in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Qin Jiang discover that there was a fire tunnel underneath the copper vat.

The water temperature in the copper vat gradually increased. Wang Minglang picked up a few fresh herbs from the medicine shelf and came to the copper vat.

"After you have mastered the first level, you should have felt the presence of inner energy. In the next few hours, you must try your best to control the inner energy in your body to stay in your arms."

Hearing this, Qin Jiang closed his eyes and controlled the inner energy in his body to flow into his arms. The hot feeling became more intense as the temperature of the water in the copper cylinder rose.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and as time continued to pass, Wang Minglang threw individual herbs into the copper vat from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Jiang could no longer sense the change of time. He could only feel his arms becoming increasingly hot, and in the end, he even felt like he was being roasted.

After a long time, it became dark outside the window, and Wang Minglang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He looked at Qin Jiang. This was Qin Jiang. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be so dedicated.

Otherwise, there is nothing else to do day by day.

After a moment, Qin Jiang opened his eyes, and a faint light flashed away.

He looked into the copper tank. The originally light yellow water had turned into dark green, and the burning sensation in his arms had disappeared, replaced by a warm and cool feeling.

"Okay, come out, I have something to tell you." Wang Minglang sat on a stool nearby, crossing his legs and smoking a big pipe.

Qin Jiang jumped out of the copper vat, activated the internal energy to evaporate the water, and put on his clothes, "What's the matter?"

Suck~

Wang Minglang took a puff from his pipe and slowly exhaled, "I saw what happened last night."

Qin Jiang's eyes changed slightly when he heard this, "Did you see it?"

Wang Minglang nodded slightly, "Well, your experience is still a bit lacking, so I've taken care of it for you. If something like this happens again in the future, you don't have to hide it from me.

By the way, just pretend you have never seen these three words Jinyu Pavilion. If anyone asks you in the future, you will say you don’t know. "

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "I understand."

Wang Minglang smiled happily, "Okay, let's go back."

After walking out of Wang Mingliang's yard, Qin Jiang looked back, turned around and left silently.

On the way back to Shanmanlou, he looked at the panel,

【Current Martial Arts】

Five Qigong of Immortality (First Level) (9/250)

Iron Arm Fist (First Level) (65/200)

Earth Dragon Body (First Floor) (3/200)

[Potential Points: 6.1]

The jade pendant has absorbed some more potential points, and the experience value of Iron Arm Fist has increased by 50. The effect of the medicinal bath can be said to be very outstanding.

Calculating this, it saves at least seven days of hard work.

"Brother Jiang~Brother Jiang~"

In the distance, a shout came, and at the other end of the street, Li Bo waved his arms and walked quickly.

"Haha, I calculated that the time was almost up, and sure enough it turned out!" he said with a smile.

Qin Jiang suddenly remembered what Li Bo said during the day.

Li Bo straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, Brother Jiang? The dishes are already being prepared."

Qin Jiang nodded, "Well, I happen to be hungry."

When the two came to Shanman Building, Li Lang was already waiting outside the building. When he saw the two of them, he waved quickly, "Brother, Brother Qin, you are here."

Li Bo nodded and looked at Qin Jiang, "Xiaolang was a little reckless that day. Let him make an apology to you tonight."

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After walking into Shanman Building, the three of them walked up to the second floor. Li Lang called the waiter, "It's time to go up."

The waiter wiped the table and responded. He looked at Qin Jiang who was being escorted up to the second floor with some surprise. He didn't expect that the distinguished guest mentioned by Master Li was actually Qin Jiang.

Going up to the second floor, the three of them walked into a private room. The aroma of various dishes made Qin Jiang's appetite grow.

Qin Jiang looked at the dishes on the table. There were a total of sixteen dishes, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and they were delicious.

This table alone was worth three taels of silver! It was more valuable than his jade pendant.

The three of them sat down, and Li Bo raised his hand slightly, "Brother Jiang, try it quickly. The chef of this Shanmanlou was originally the chef of a restaurant in the inner city. Later, he owed money for gambling and had his legs broken. That's why he fell to the outer city."

As he said that, he looked at Li Lang, "Go and urge him."

Li Lang nodded slightly, got up and left.

Qin Jiang was not polite. He picked up the meat slices and started eating. It tasted salty and spicy.

After a while, Li Lang came in with a plate and put it on the table. It was a carp with golden scales all over its body.

"Brother Jiang, this is a golden scale fish, a rare species in Shishi River. On weekdays, this one has to sell for ten taels of silver! I heard that it is good for the body. Come and try it and see how it tastes." Li Bo said with a smile.

He got this from the inner city with the help of his connections, and it cost more than ten taels of silver.

Qin Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly. Shishi River was the river where people fished when Heishan City was still a fishing village. It runs across the east and west of the city and passes through the inner city.

It seems to be a source of Canglang River, the largest river in Yanzhou.

And golden scale fish is a specialty of Shishi River. It is said that it was once sent to the capital as a tribute.

Pick up a piece of fish meat and put it in your mouth. It is smooth and tender, full of freshness and fragrance, and perfectly retains the original aroma of the ingredients.

This chef's skills are amazing!

After eating the fish meat, a warm current flows from the stomach into the limbs and bones. This feeling is like being massaged.

He looked at the panel, and the experience points of the three martial arts increased a little, especially the Changsheng Wu Qigong, which increased by 4 points directly.

His eyes were surprised. It seemed that if he had time, he could go to the Shishi River to have a look. It would be nice to improve the food occasionally.

"It tastes very good, you guys should try it too."

Ten days later, in the backyard of Shanmanlou, Qin Jiang wiped the sweat off his upper body and applied the arm-washing secret medicine on his arms.

"Master Qin, your meal is ready. I'll put it here for you." The servant in the building put the dish in his hand on the table in the yard with some flattery.

Ever since the owner of Shanmanlou knew that Qin Jiang was a person that Li Bo had to treat with courtesy that night, he used wooden boards to enclose a separate area in the backyard, which was specially used for Qin Jiang to practice martial arts.

On the one hand, for the owner of Shanmanlou, Li Bo was already a big shot, so Qin Jiang naturally needed no further explanation.

On the other hand, he was also afraid that some drunken diners would not have eyes to bump into Master Qin.

Those who can come to Shanmanlou for dinner are basically the rich and powerful people in the outer city. It is not a good thing to annoy any of them.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Qin Jiang said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble, sir, you eat well, I will come back to collect the dishes later." The servant bent his body slightly, retreated from the wooden door opened in the wall, and closed the wooden door casually.

Qin Jiang walked to the table and sat down, looking at the panel,
