Back at the Pill Pavilion, Lin Xiaofei quickly finished lunch and, taking advantage of the remaining rest time, went back to his room to analyze his gains.
"Although I watched a thrilling murder this morning and even participated in it myself, I still gained something from it, so it was pretty good."
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly, spoke to himself, and then entered the spatial bead.
After several days at the herb farm, more than 350 herbs had grown in his spatial bead. If he used all the herbs while practicing the Green Peak Leg technique, he could probably quickly reach the perfect stage.
"Haha, the herbs are growing quite well."
Lin Xiaofei was secretly delighted, then walked to a corner of the space bead, where he saw a long knife that he had taken from the corpse and a package on the ground.
Without saying a word, he picked up the black package from the ground.
The outer layer of the wrapping was made of a cloth that felt soft and silky to the touch; it was made of high-quality fabric.
Seeing that the cloth used to wrap the package was of the highest quality, Lin Xiaofei felt a surge of excitement and became even more curious about what was inside.
He quickly opened the package and found two books and ten taels of silver inside.
Lin Xiaofei ignored the money and quickly took out two books, placing them in front of him.
"The True Divine Method of Dew, Volume 1, and a fragmentary record of a hundred medicines."
Lin Xiaofei read it word by word, and was shocked.
"This, could this be a method of cultivating immortality?"
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment, but still couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
Unable to find a solution, Lin Xiaofei directly opened the Dewdrop True God Technique and was immediately stunned.
He didn't recognize many of the words on the first page, but after a quick glance, he recognized a few and immediately understood what the book was.
Over the course of several days, he would spend some time in the space bead every night looking at the Illustrated Compendium of Literacy, and he learned most of the characters in the book. However, when he looked at the content of the Dew True God Method, there were still many characters he did not recognize.
Nevertheless, based on the text, he roughly understood the content and formed his own judgment.
Before him, this "Dewdrop True God Technique" was actually a cultivation technique for immortality. Next, Lin Xiaofei opened the "Hundred Herbs Compendium," quickly browsed through it, and then wrapped the two books up again, placing them back in his spatial bead.
Lin Xiaofei was extremely excited. Although he didn't recognize some of the characters in the two books, he knew that one of them was a cultivation technique. So, he would spend some time memorizing all the characters in the Illustrated Compendium of Literacy in order to understand the contents of the two books.
If I were to obtain a martial arts manual again in the future, this situation would not have occurred.
These two books, wrapped in the finest fabric and resembling secret manuals, must be very precious.
Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the spatial bead, suppressed his excitement, calmed himself down, and made sure no one would notice anything unusual before leaving the house and going to the wood-chopping area in the backyard.
"Calm down, calm down."
Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, yet still felt a surge of excitement.
With the cultivation technique in hand, and it was even a cultivation technique for immortality, a treasure of immense value, he found it difficult to remain calm.
He felt an urge to put down his axe and immediately read the Illustrated Compendium of Literacy, then immediately begin practicing the Dewdrop True God Technique.
However, he also understood that it was very dangerous to practice without understanding the cultivation methods. He might go astray and endanger his life.
Therefore, he must be patient, calm down, and first compose himself, otherwise things could easily go wrong.
After a while, Lin Xiaofei chopped a pile of firewood and calmed down a lot.
"When the Green Peak Leg technique is mastered, one can generate power from both legs and kick out with a force of energy."
Now, I think I can do it.
Lin Xiaofei stretched out one leg to the side, circulating his leg strength. He immediately felt a force on the surface of his leg. He swept his leg out suddenly, and a slight force of energy emanated from it, making a snapping sound.
Previously, when Wang Shan suddenly waved his palm to demonstrate, he said that as long as he cultivated the Green Peak Leg to a high level, he could do it, and now he has really done it.
Now that I think about it, seeing that no one was around, I couldn't help but try it a few more times, and it really was true.
Currently, there is a lack of ordinary peak-level cultivation techniques. Even if one cultivates the Green Peak Leg technique to perfection, it is only an ordinary, albeit relatively good, basic technique, which is far from being an ordinary peak-level technique.
The image of the Green Peak Gang's Crimson Copper Body Technique flashed through Lin Xiaofei's mind, and he immediately shook his head.
As a menial disciple, obtaining the Crimson Copper Body Technique was simply impossible.
He did want to tell the higher-ups in the Qingfeng Gang that he had mastered the Qingfeng Leg technique and that he was a genius, but who could master the Qingfeng Leg technique in just a few days?
It's impossible.
Furthermore, there is a belief in demonic possession in this world. If he is considered to be possessed by a demon, then he is doomed.
Every mealtime, the staff at the Medicine Pavilion would have all sorts of discussions, and the things they talked about were all things Lin Xiaofei didn't know. He had heard about demon possession from them.
After thinking about it, he realized he didn't want that to happen to him.
"Ordinary peak-level cultivation techniques are rare, so let's consider others first."
Lin Xiaofei thought of the Black Wind Palm technique of the Left Guard Escort Agency, but he was not a member of the agency. Even if he were, he couldn't have obtained the technique for no reason.
As for the Bone Meridian Jade Manual of the Golden Bone Martial Arts School, it is a prized possession of the school, and it is unlikely that anyone who is not a core disciple can obtain it.
Of course, he is not in a hurry to obtain a common peak cultivation technique. After all, as long as he can obtain the technique, he can accelerate his cultivation and will not be subject to age restrictions like others.
Furthermore, his Green Peak Leg technique has reached a high level of mastery, giving him a significant head start in martial arts compared to other children his age.
During dinner that evening, the men sat together, eating and chatting, and before they knew it, they were discussing the Zhang Family Escort Agency.
"Zhang Shulong of the Zhang family was killed by bandits from Black Wind Stronghold while escorting goods today. We are now suspending all escort services. What a pity for such a good business."
"Alas, it's all because Zhang Shulong killed the apprentice of the second-in-command of Black Wind Stronghold."
Even the government couldn't do anything about Black Wind Stronghold. On several occasions, some government officials were robbed by Black Wind Stronghold when they passed through the official road, which shows how rampant Black Wind Stronghold was.
As for Black Wind Stronghold dealing with the Zhang family, that would naturally be no problem.
When news first broke that Zhang Shulong had killed the apprentice of the Black Wind Stronghold's second-in-command, many predicted that Zhang Shulong would eventually get into trouble, and now, sure enough, he has.
"Who says otherwise? Alas, these are turbulent times."
"So what if it's a time of great turmoil? It has nothing to do with us."
However, without Zhang Shulong, the Zhang family's escort agency in Qingshan Town will likely have to close down. Zhang Shuhu, the second son, is doing business in the county town and will probably return to oversee things, while the third son is studying elsewhere and likely won't be involved.
The first person said something, and the other person continued.
"Zhang Shulong is dead."
Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, and immediately realized something.
Earlier, on his way to the herb farm with Wang Shan, he saw a fork in the road in the distance. It was when the Zhang Family Escort Agency was transporting goods that one of their flags fell down. He felt something was wrong at the time, but who would have thought that Zhang Shulong would be killed by bandits.
