We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 27 Iron Shirt - The Wounded, Seeking Medicine at the Clinic (Please continue reading)
"Could it be related to qi and blood?"

After pondering for a while, Su Chen guessed.

Martial arts practitioners place great emphasis on cultivating qi and blood.

Generally speaking, the younger a person is, the more vigorous their Qi and blood are, and the more suitable they are for practicing martial arts.

This is why many martial arts schools prefer to recruit young students; with sufficient Qi and blood, martial arts training becomes much easier.

When Su Chen first joined the Hong Family Martial Arts School, Hong Ming commented that Su Chen was too old and had missed his peak period of vitality, so he would probably have difficulty making any achievements in the future.

Although Hong Ming accepted Su Chen out of consideration for the money, he didn't actually have high hopes for Su Chen.

"Ten doses of Qi and Blood Powder? In other words, I have to provide the panel with medicine that greatly enhances Qi and Blood? No, that's not right. Since the panel has described 'Qi and Blood Powder' to me, it means that Qi and Blood Powder is very likely to exist in this world."

Su Chen didn't believe the panel was pointing out something without reason, and he was thinking about how to find the Qi and Blood Powder.

"We could try asking at a clinic!"

Soon, Su Chen had an idea. He would go to a medical clinic to inquire about medicine, as they were more professional in this area than he was.

"Now, let's test the power of Iron Shirt first."

Su Chen came to the courtyard, bent down and picked up a pebble, which was just the right size to hold in his hand.

As he gradually increased his strength, a crisp cracking sound gradually emerged from his palm.

The muscle lines on his arms became increasingly defined, presenting a rugged beauty.

A moment later, Su Chen released his hand, revealing a stone that had been squeezed into a strange shape, like putty.

He placed the pebble on the ground and slapped it down with his palm. With a loud bang, the pebble instantly shattered into pieces.

Before it was over, he picked up another pebble of similar size, placed it on the ground, and threw a punch.

With a crisp sound, the pebble cracked open like a tender watermelon from a punch.

In contrast, Su Chen's palms were unharmed except for a little dust.

"Even Zhao Kuo's black armor couldn't withstand that slap."

Thinking this, Su Chen exerted five-tenths of his strength, punching his own chest while simultaneously activating the Tortoise Shell Technique.

boom!
A sound comparable to the clash of metal suddenly rang out in the silent courtyard, making Su Chen's breathing quicken.

He coughed a few times, touched the spot where he had been hit, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "In the future, I'd better not use myself as an experiment."

The fusion of Iron Sand Palm and Iron Wire Fist, though only a fragment of Iron Shirt, is far more powerful than either of the two individual ultimate techniques.

It was already enough to shake the fully mastered Tortoise Shell Technique.

"The money I just earned is almost gone in the blink of an eye, and I don't have enough money left to upgrade my Tortoise Shell Technique."

After the test, Su Chen returned to his room, glanced at his savings, and felt quite helpless.

One second he had over a hundred taels of silver, the next he was about to become penniless again.

My desire to acquire the Turtle Shell Technique through in-game purchases will have to be postponed.

Fortunately, the cost of the next in-game purchase of the tortoise shell is not much, only ten taels. Su Chen should be able to collect the money soon.

I glanced at the sky outside the window; it was gradually getting dark, and the clinic was about to close.

"Then let's go to the clinic to ask for medicine tomorrow."

Su Chen didn't plan to eat out tonight; he was tired of eating out and wanted to slow down his appetite.

Well, the main problem is that we're short on money, so we have to be careful.

Fortunately, we always kept food at home, so we were able to feed ourselves.

After finishing his meal, Su Chen practiced Iron Shirt for a while.

After merging Iron Sand Palm and Iron Wire Fist, Su Chen didn't even know what his moves resembled.

It leans towards fist techniques? But there are also traces of palm techniques in it, so let's just follow the panel.

In any case, it didn't matter to Su Chen, as long as it was useful. After finishing his practice, Su Chen spent some time reading late into the night before finally going to sleep.

The next morning, Su Chen arrived at a clinic called "Jishetang".

"Qi and Blood Dispersing?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's request, the pharmacist shook his head helplessly, "Our clinic doesn't have this medicine. Perhaps you could try asking elsewhere?"

Afterwards, Su Chen inquired at several other medical clinics, but was told that they did not have this medicine.

This left Su Chen somewhat helpless, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it really be some random name on the panel? Let's ask again, and if it still doesn't exist, then we'll think of other ways."

Su Chen found the largest clinic in the city and asked a clerk, "Do you have Qi and Blood Powder here?"

"Qi and Blood Powder? We don't have that, but we do have blood-tonifying medicine here. Would you like a few doses, sir?" The waiter thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Then do you know where I can get Qi and Blood Powder?" Su Chen asked again, unwilling to give up.

"I'll ask the doctor for the guest," the waiter said, then turned and went into the clinic.

A moment later, an elderly man with white hair and beard came out. After looking Su Chen up and down, he said, "Guest, we only have blood-replenishing medicine here. Qi-blood powder is a secret of the martial arts school. How could we have it here? You've come to the wrong place."

"The martial arts school's secret techniques?" Su Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The old man nodded: "That's right."

After saying that, seeing that Su Chen had no intention of buying medicine, he turned and went into the clinic.

Su Chen didn't pay any attention; his mind was entirely focused on the Qi and Blood Powder. After searching for so long, he had finally gotten some information.

However, his expression quickly turned strange: "Does that mean the Hong Family Martial Arts School might have Qi and Blood Powder?"

Thinking this, Su Chen turned and walked towards the Hong Family Martial Arts School.

He had a feeling that his guess was correct, after all, given the status and strength of the Hong Family Martial Arts School, it was normal for them to have Qi and Blood Dispersant.

Moreover, he remembered that Li Mo seemed to have told him that martial arts school students had to take medicine.

I didn't pay attention at the time, and I didn't ask whether it was Qi Xue San (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

After an incense stick had burned, Su Chen arrived at the martial arts school.

"Senior Brother Su!"

The disciples training at the martial arts school were visibly stunned when they saw Su Chen. Had the sun risen in the west today?

Senior Brother Su actually came to the martial arts gym!
Su Chen nodded to the people who greeted him, entered the inner courtyard, and immediately spotted Hong Ming.

Hong Ming was still practicing his boxing slowly. Seeing this, Su Chen stopped and waited quietly to the side.

After a short while, Hong Ming let out a long sigh, looked at Su Chen beside him, and asked, "Little Chen, what do you want to see me about?"

Su Chen voiced his question.

"Qi and Blood Dispersing?"

Upon learning that this was what Su Chen wanted to ask, Hong Ming couldn't help but smile wryly.

"You little rascal, I told you not to come to the martial arts school every day, and now you know to come and ask me for Qi and Blood Powder?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen, who had just been puzzled by Hong Ming's expression, was suddenly overjoyed.

"Master, are you saying the martial arts school has Qi and Blood Powder?"

"Nonsense, if you hadn't been absent every day, I would have already dispelled your Qi and Blood. But it's not too late to realize this now." Hong Ming glared at Su Chen, making Su Chen feel a little embarrassed.

"but……"

Just as Su Chen was about to ask Hong Ming for medicine, Hong Ming suddenly changed the subject.
"However, if you want me to give you Qi and Blood Powder, that depends on whether your cultivation during this period can satisfy me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's expression turned serious, and he waved his hand, saying, "Please enlighten me, Master!"
