Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine

The moment the two returned from their outing, they immediately drew the attention of the Apprentices and disciples within the Changfeng Escort Agency.

They gathered around, circling the tiger's corpse and examining it curiously. Their eyes were filled with awe and admiration as they looked at Meng Qingshan and Gao Zhankui.

Gou Sheng'er was the first to break the silence. His face full of excitement, he said, "Master Gao, Senior Disciple Brother, is this what you brought back today?"

"This tiger is huge!" another Apprentice exclaimed.

"Its mouth is even bigger than my head!" Another Apprentice mischievously stuck his head into the tiger's open jaws, trying to compare their sizes.

At that moment, Li Qingzhu finally arrived after hearing the commotion. With just a few words, she sent the Apprentices away, then turned her bright, concerned eyes toward Meng Qingshan.

Gao Zhankui had been seriously injured this time. Meng Qingshan asked Li Qingzhu to look after him for the moment, then hurried to Hui Chun Tang to request Mister Mo's services.

Hui Chun Tang stood on West Street in Jade Mountain City, not far from the Changfeng Escort Agency. Before long, Meng Qingshan had brought Mister Mo back.

Since Gao Zhankui was a martial artist, and Meng Qingshan had helped circulate his blood and disperse the bruising with his cultivation after he was injured, the damage had not affected his foundation.

Mister Mo set Gao Zhankui's broken bones, applied herbal medicine, and brewed him a dose of medicinal soup.

After taking the medicine, a layer of Cold Sweat appeared on Gao Zhankui's forehead. He soon fell into a deep sleep, clearly out of danger.

Seeing this, both Meng Qingshan and Li Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

There was only one elder left in the Changfeng Escort Agency now—Gao Zhankui. If anything had truly happened to him, neither of them would have felt good about it.

After escorting Mister Mo back to Hui Chun Tang, Meng Qingshan told him that he had already thoroughly studied Wuwei Herbal.

Mister Mo was surprised for a moment, then tested Meng Shan's grasp of Wuwei Herbal on the spot. Once he confirmed that Meng Shan had truly committed it to memory, he gave him a copy of Illustrated Guide to Acupoints on the Bronze Man instead, telling him that he could still visit Hui Chun Tang at any time if he encountered anything he did not understand.

Meng Shan was overjoyed to receive Illustrated Guide to Acupoints on the Bronze Man.

This Medical Book recorded the three hundred and sixty-two acupoints along the body's twelve primary meridians. To him, it was undoubtedly a precious treasure.

If he could later learn a Hidden Weapon Technique and strike acupoints from afar, dealing damage at range, that would be even better!

When Meng Qingshan returned to the Changfeng Escort Agency, he found his cousin Li Qingzhu waiting for him in the front hall.

Since he had gone up the mountain with Uncle Kui today without informing her beforehand, he naturally could not avoid a scolding from Li Qingzhu.

Once the Maiden's anger gradually subsided, Meng Qingshan served her some tea and apologized. Li Qingzhu's heart softened, and she asked him about his encounter with the tiger in the mountains that day.

Afraid that his cousin would worry, Meng Qingshan gave her a brief account of the hunt. Even so, the Maiden before him kept gasping in alarm.

One of her delicate hands gripped Meng Qingshan's arm tightly. Her little face had gone pale as paper from fright, and she seemed even more nervous than Meng Qingshan himself.

Li Qingzhu looked at the fierce, powerful tiger on the ground and recalled the scene of Meng Qingshan fighting the beast in the forest. Though she knew that Meng Qingshan had returned safely, she still could not help feeling lingering fear.

The ancients said that one's face changed color at the mention of a tiger. It was not without reason.

In this era, tigers injuring people was an everyday occurrence. It was perfectly normal for ordinary folk to fear them.

Li Qingzhu's reaction was naturally understandable.

She carefully examined Meng Qingshan from head to toe once more. Only after confirming that he had suffered nothing more than superficial wounds did she finally relax.

The Maiden looked at the tiger on the ground, and a strange light suddenly gleamed in her bright eyes, as if she had remembered something.

She parted her red lips and said with delight, "Cousin, I remember that whenever Father cultivated the Long Wind Heart Method, he would drink a medicinal wine carefully brewed from tiger bones and precious herbs.

Father once said that this medicinal wine was greatly beneficial to Internal Cultivation. There happens to be an unopened jar left at home. I'll fetch it now and let you try its effects."

Before long, the Maiden carried over a jar of wine. When Meng Qingshan took it and looked, the Attribute Panel for the medicinal wine appeared before his eyes:

------

Item: Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine

Affiliation: Changfeng Escort Agency

Description: The ancients said, 'When a tiger roars, wind is born; when a dragon rises, clouds gather.' This medicinal wine was something Li Weiyun of the Changfeng Escort Agency happened to derive from an ancient text. It was said that this wine could stir wind and clouds within the dantian, causing True Qi to surge forth on its own, and possessed miraculous effects for cultivating internal arts.

Effect: When this medicinal wine is consumed while cultivating internal arts, Internal Cultivation efficiency increases by 20%.

Upon seeing the remarkable effects of Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine, an uncontrollable joy rose in Meng Qingshan's heart.

He had never expected the down-and-out Changfeng Escort Agency to possess such a treasure.

The constant surprises his cousin had brought him made him want nothing more than to hold the lovely girl before him and kiss her fiercely.

But the thought was like a fleeting flash of lightning. It only passed through his mind before reason swiftly suppressed it.
