All-Encompassing Tonic Soup

These past few days, Huangshi Town has been quite lively.

A major figure from the renowned Sifang Society, hailing from the county town, clashed with members of the Black Tiger Gang at the town gates.

Perhaps due to prior intelligence, the Black Tiger Gang was well-prepared, mobilizing their elite forces for the ambush. Among them was the Gang Leader's second-in-command, Song Ding, the only other martial artist in the Viscera Refining Realm, who was present to oversee the operation.

As soon as the conflict began, the Sifang Society's forces found themselves at a disadvantage, forced into a steady retreat.

But then, when the distinguished Hall Master Feng, the leader of the Sifang Society contingent, made his move, everything changed!

The silver figure leaped over ten zhang, landing amidst the crowd.

Then, like thunder breaking through the sky, the terrifying Qi he unleashed surged like a torrent, sweeping through the Black Tiger Gang members in all directions!

With one hand, he shattered weapons and nullified their sharpness!

He swept aside the enemy like an army!

The Qi that erupted like a mountain flood, freely unleashed, told the onlookers

what true invincibility was!

The formidable, seemingly invincible, and overwhelmingly powerful display of strength rendered the entire crowd at the town gates utterly silent!

Even when the Black Tiger Gang's Vice-Leader, Song Ding, seeing the unfavorable turn of events, personally intervened, he was defeated within three moves!

The Sifang Society, with their invincible might and the prestige of their great victory, entered the town in grand fashion!

Their reputation soared!

Meanwhile, rumors spread through the streets and alleys, claiming that the Sifang Society's Hall Master Feng, who led the delegation, possessed a cultivation at the late Viscera Refining Realm!

This caused quite a stir throughout Huangshi Town!

Because at this level, he was already superior to all other martial artists in Huangshi Town!

Before this, Huangshi Town had never seen a martial artist at the late Viscera Refining Realm!

Even the Black Tiger Gang's Leader, Shi Meng, hailed as the foremost expert in Huangshi Town, was only at the mid Viscera Refining Realm!

It had been several years since Shi Meng broke through to the mid Viscera Refining Realm, and only then did he claim the title of Huangshi Town's greatest expert!

Compared to Hall Master Feng, who was at the late Viscera Refining Realm, there was clearly a significant gap!

Furthermore, as Hall Master Feng hailed from a major power like the Sifang Society, his mastered Martial Skills were undoubtedly more formidable, and the resources he could access were far superior to those available in a small town like Huangshi Town.

Therefore, the townsfolk generally believed

that Hall Master Feng was stronger than Shi Meng, the Black Tiger Gang Leader, who had yet to reveal his full strength.

Of course, it had been several years since Shi Meng broke through to the mid Viscera Refining Realm.

Whether he had made any further advancements in recent years was unknown to the outside world, but it was unlikely he had improved significantly, and there were no major surprises expected.

Because of this, many martial artists and influential figures in town visited the Sifang Society delegation that day, offering congratulatory gifts in an attempt to build connections.

And after the Sifang Society group took up residence at the Weilong Martial Arts School, and Hall Master Feng declared that his visit was to pay respects to his fellow disciple, Zhou Weilong, everyone at the Weilong Martial Arts School, from the instructors to the disciples, became the center of attention.

For a time, the entire Huangshi Town seemed exceptionally lively.

However, amidst all this commotion, some chose not to act.

For instance, the other two major powers in Huangshi Town, the Datong Escort Agency and the Wu Family, who also had Viscera Refining Realm martial artists, merely sent unimportant stewards to offer their congratulations, making a lukewarm statement of their stance.

As one of the top powers in Huangshi Town, they knew very well that the Sifang Society's visit was likely not for friendly reasons.

Following this, There would likely be a fierce battle between the Sifang Society and the Black Tiger Gang!

Each of them had their own established businesses and trades, and they didn't want to easily pick a side, which could lead to their own forces suffering unnecessary losses.

All parties had their own calculations, and their interests intertwined.

Within Huangshi Town, A turbulent undercurrent had also begun to surge.

The outside world's commotion held little relevance for Yang Qingyun.

Since he had chosen a quiet location when renting the courtyard, the disturbances outside during this period had not affected him.

At this moment, He was wholeheartedly focusing all his energy on the alchemy he was currently undertaking.

As the fine charcoal beneath the cauldron gradually burned out, Yang Qingyun lifted the lid of the cauldron. A substance-like glow erupted from within, accompanied by a rich medicinal fragrance. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with a vibrant life force!

Gazing at the Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill within the cauldron – a pill that was entirely jade green, crystal clear like jade, and emitted a radiant light from within –

Yang Qingyun's face also showed a look of joy.

He carefully picked up the still-warm pill with silk cloth, gently placing it into a jade bottle to seal it.

Internally, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although pure Jade Dew has the effect of regenerating severed limbs, the time required to repair the body is not short."

"However, if it's refined into a Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill, the coordination between the medicinal properties and spiritual energy can greatly speed up this recovery process. Moreover, the immense medicinal power and essence that the pill itself can provide can restore a large amount of Blood Essence in a short period."

"For a martial artist below the Blood Changing Realm, a single Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill can almost be considered a second life!"

"Even for martial artists in the Viscera Refining Realm, it has extremely significant healing effects."

Looking at the Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill in the jade bottle, Yang Qingyun's lips curved slightly.

With this item, He undoubtedly had an extra layer of security.

Moreover, If he were to waste a bit, He could also use it as a pill for breaking through, forcefully advancing his realm!

Although forcefully breaking through would damage the body's meridians, the pill itself possessed immense vitality. The vast flow of vitality after the breakthrough would be sufficient to repair the meridians and any internal injuries caused by the forceful breakthrough.

This made the forceful breakthrough almost entirely free of side effects!

"Hoo!"

Yang Qingyun carefully tucked the Spirit Ginseng Jade Dew Pill inside his clothes, letting out a long breath.

Having completed the refinement of this life-saving pill, The next step was to improve his own strength.

"Xiaoshi, go get the prepared medicinal ingredients to the kitchen!"

Yang Qingyun called out towards the outside of the courtyard, then walked across the courtyard to the kitchen.

Smoke wafted from the kitchen. Inside the large pot, the peeled, washed, and processed Black Panther Demonic Beast had been simmering under the glowing charcoal for three days and three nights!

Demonic beasts of the Viscera Refining Realm, after death, their demonic energy dissipates and scatters as Blood Essence throughout their bodies.

They also possessed characteristics similar to Viscera Refining Realm martial artists, with skin as tough as copper and bones like iron!

In fact, compared to martial artists of the same realm, Their toughness was even greater. Only by simmering them over a low heat for a long time could they be cooked until tender.

"The All-Encompassing Tonic Soup, made with demonic beasts as the main ingredient, has a significant effect on supplementing a martial artist's essence. After consuming this large pot of tonic soup, I should be close to breaking through to the Late Entering the Realm!"

Opening the pot lid and seeing that the demonic beast meat inside was almost completely cooked, a rich aroma wafted towards him, Yang Qingyun thought to himself.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoshi had already brought over a large basin of processed precious medicinal ingredients.

Yang Qingyun took it, confirmed it was correct, and poured all of it into the pot, then closed the lid.

Based on his experience, After simmering for another hour, This nourishing All-Encompassing Tonic Soup, rich in vitality, would be completed!

Just then, Wang Xiaoshi respectfully said from the side:

"Young Master, the medicinal ingredients in the storeroom are almost depleted. Should we replenish them?"

"Are they almost used up?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyun suddenly remembered.

After entering the town, he had indeed obtained a large batch of medicinal ingredients through Zhou Weilong's martial arts school channels.

However, due to the consumption from refining pills and other activities during these past days, a significant amount had been used.

He hadn't replenished them, and now they were nearly depleted.

But he didn't pay it much mind.

From the spoils of war obtained from Black Wind Stronghold, only five hundred taels out of the five thousand taels in Gold Notes had been spent.

As long as he had money, medicinal ingredients wouldn't be much of a problem.

So, he spoke, saying:

"Go to my study and get the prescription list from beside the table. Get ten jin of each ingredient. If there are any aged ginseng, cordyceps, or fo-ti, and other tonics, buy as much as you can find."

Yang Qingyun took out a one-thousand-tael Gold Note from his embrace and handed it to him.

Then, he waved his hand, signaling for him to withdraw.

"Yes!"

Wang Xiaoshi bowed and retreated.

Yang Qingyun refocused all his attention on the large pot of All-Encompassing Tonic Soup.

An hour later, as a rich medicinal aroma permeated the air, Yang Qingyun felt the Blood Essence within his body seem to stir!

It was done!

A smile appeared on Yang Qingyun's face.
