Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Kidney Deficiency (Supplement 2100)

"I’m so blind with both my damn eyes... Bah!"

Chen Jiu became frustrated and felt waves of darkness before his eyes; he truly started to feel a bit scared.

He had dared to come and provoke a fight, naturally preparing himself to be beaten up, but these symptoms weren’t just ordinary bruises.

"Ah... dear sir, are you experiencing a total lack of strength, weak limbs, unsteady steps, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and blurred vision?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked with feigned surprise.

"So what if I am?"

Chen Jiu’s fingers trembled as he raised them; the ferocity he had initially vanished as soon as he felt weak.

"You haven’t been beaten... you’re suffering from... kidney deficiency!"

Zhong Shenxiu clapped his hands together and diagnosed like a renowned doctor, "To treat this illness, the sooner the better. Otherwise, I’m worried that in the future you might suffer from... impotence, leading to the risk of having no descendants..."

"What? Impotence? No descendants?"

Several ruffians suddenly cried out, "Boss, I haven’t even taken a wife yet!"

They were genuinely frightened.

"Don’t be scared, this illness can be cured. Our Shanyao Hall has a prescription for ’Five Flavors Rehmannia Pill,’ specifically for treating kidney deficiency. One pill goes down, long-standing illnesses stand up; after one course of treatment, all symptoms will subside, leaving no future worries!"

Zhong Shenxiu declared confidently.

Actually, he had used his movement technique to land the Five Elements Thief Palm on each of them moments ago.

He had perfected his kidney manipulation technique, and with one palm strike, they were immediately afflicted with kidney deficiency.

Moreover, since ancient times, medicine and martial arts were inseparable; the capability to cause injury was coupled with the ability to heal. The Five Flavors Rehmannia Pill, as per the secret recipes and with a bit of Zhong Shenxiu’s wicked sense of humor in naming it, did indeed cure the illness as promised.

"You..."

Chen Jiu was just about to curse someone when it seemed like a voice echoed in his ears:

Kidney deficiency!

Impotence!

No descendants!

His legs gave way, and he knelt down directly, "Sir, it’s our fault, please save us."

He had suddenly realized this.

Offending a doctor, especially the one about to treat you, was a foolish act.

This bizarre illness might be some unique martial art technique; once they left the shop, there’d be no place else to cure it!

"Well said, well said, we who run a medical hall, of course, have to sell medicine."

Zhong Shenxiu grinned, "Five Flavors Rehmannia Pill, priced at one silver per pill, strictly no credit! I see your symptoms are not light; you’ll need continuous doses of thirty pills to eliminate the disease."

"Thirty pills? Thirty silver taels?! Why don’t you just rob me?"

Chen Jiu’s eyes widened.

As the saying goes, scholars are poor, warriors are rich; his family was comparatively wealthy, which allowed him to train in martial arts, but ordinarily, he couldn’t pull together such a large sum of money!

"Customer jests, robbing people isn’t as profitable as selling medicine. If this illness isn’t treated early, the subsequent effort required will be even greater... So, will you undergo treatment or not?"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled amiably, his face saying I’m not the one who’s hurt, it’s up to you.

Beating someone and then having them beg to buy your medicine? That’s truly showing off!

Chen Jiu with a mournful face, "Sir, you are magnanimous, please spare us this once, this matter, the pharmaceutical association..."

"Stop, it’s clearly you guys who fell ill while walking. I graciously came to administer treatment. Don’t slander people."

Zhong Shenxiu would not let him continue to drag others down, for even if he got the head of that pharmaceutical association and beat him up, Shanyao Hall’s opening would still be a mess.

Snap!

Chen Jiu felt his lower back weaken even more and involuntarily slapped himself, "Sir, please just tell me, what will it take for you to let us go?"

"I’m just a medicine seller. You pay for the medicine, and we’ll be even."

Zhong Shenxiu was all business.

Chen Jiu really didn’t want to fork over the silver, even the commission from the previous pharmacy wasn’t this much!

But alas...

Impotent! Infertile!

This voice echoed in his ears again, causing his body to shudder as he gritted his teeth and fished out the silver from his chest, "This money... it’s on me!"

"Big brother, big brother, you can’t forget about us brothers!"

The other ruffians, with pockets cleaner than their faces, immediately pounced over, clinging to Chen Jiu’s thighs and weeping bitterly.

They truly regretted it!

If they had known, they wouldn’t have foolishly opposed the Shanyao Hall. As for that assignment, whoever wanted it could have it!

"Fine, I’ll pay!"

Chen Jiu knew that if he didn’t help his minions today, his reputation would be completely ruined.

But such a large amount of silver could make him cough up blood; upon returning, he would have to pawn his house—truly a case of losing what one stole in attempting to steal more.

After speaking, tears of pain streamed down his face.

To the unknowing observer, it seemed like a display of profound brotherly love.

Wei Hongyao, watching from the side, admired how Zhong Shenxiu handled the provocateurs with ease, turning them into compliant puppets. A greedy sparkle appeared in her eye as she whispered, "With Disciple Xun here, if the hall ever runs out of money, we can just send him out. A few slaps here and there and we have a steady stream of income!"

"Nonsense!"

Wei Baizhu closed his mouth that had opened in astonishment and adopted a stern posture, "They came to provoke us intentionally; it was only right for us to strike back. Outsiders might even find it entertaining and won’t criticize it. But if we start attacking people just because we need money, what would happen to our reputation?"

"I was just thinking out loud..." Wei Hongyao stuck out her tongue slightly, her face full of regret.

"Bring these gentlemen into the Shanyao Hall."

Having dealt with the ruffians, Zhong Shenxiu summoned his fellow disciples to guide Chen Jiu and his group into the Shanyao Hall for a costly purchase of medicine, and then returned to discuss the opening day arrangements with Wei Baizhu.

Today, within Anshan City, the Shanyao Hall shot to fame explosively.

Not only did they significantly boost their face on their opening day, they also fleeced a few wealthy customers, making a fortune.

However, Wei Baizhu noticed something odd about Zhong Shenxiu’s expression.

The reason he had willingly handed over the "Five Elements Thief Palm" manual was primarily because, besides Xun Liuyi, no other disciple was capable of shouldering the responsibility.

Another reason was the martial art was notoriously difficult to master, and he hoped to bind this talented disciple to the gang, preventing him from leaving.

From Wei Baizhu’s experience, mastering the Five Elements Thief Palm was extremely difficult. Even within the Shanyao Gang, few had actually mastered it, including Elder Li, who had spent a full five years in dedicated practice!

Some orally transmitted secrets, if unknown, would require much more effort to figure out bit by bit.

These secrets hadn’t been recorded in the manual; they were all memorized in his mind, just waiting for the day Xun Liuyi would come asking for advice.

Yet now, only half a month later, how had Xun Liuyi mastered the Kidney Water Chapter?

What monstrous talent this was!

Wei Baizhu had heard of a martial genius who could learn any martial arts skill upon first glance, mastering it quickly, a talent qualifying one for the Heaven, Earth, and Human rankings!

"Could it be that my Shanyao Gang will produce a Human Ranking Expert, bringing honor to our ancestors?" At this thought, his gaze towards Zhong Shenxiu changed.

Zhong Shenxiu didn’t bother about him; after all, even without the Heavenly Show Points, with his knowledge, mastering the Five Elements Thief Palm was just a matter of months.

At this moment, he scanned the crowd around him, but sensed something was amiss.

At the end of the street, a figure was slowly walking away, muttering to himself, "Who would have thought that the True Inheritor of Shanyao Gang would turn out to be a lowly disciple... Xun Liuyi? Indeed, quite the remarkable person!"
