"Wait, what did you just say, we are three brothers?"

Jin Yichuan came back to his senses and quickly widened his eyes and asked, "Brother Fu, what did you do to my elder brother Lu Jianxing?"

Shen Lian also reacted and immediately looked at Lin Zhongtian with sharp eyes.

Lin Zhongtian curled his lips: "Why are you reacting so strongly? I haven't made a move on your eldest brother yet!"

"Then why do you say that?"

"What do you think? Now that things have come to this, you don't think he can continue to stay in the capital, do you? With you two good brothers, he will have to go down this path sooner or later."

“…”

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan looked at each other and frowned, "My eldest brother is different from me. He has a calm personality and is loyal. Although he likes to be an official, it is also because of his mother's expectation. With his temperament, even if he sees through the warmth and coldness of the court, he will not betray easily. How do you plan to get such a person to join the group?"

Lin Zhongtian said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by joining the gang? Don't use such words. People who don't know would think we are forcing you to join the Liangshan bandits!"

Shen Lian twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing, but looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that he thought so.

Lin Zhongtian ignored his gaze and continued, "But this is indeed a problem. I don't know him very well, and I can't think of a suitable plan for the time being, so I think it's better to leave this matter to you."

"Leave it to us?"

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan looked at Lin Zhongtian in surprise.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at them and said, "Why, you don't want to? Then I'll do it myself!"

“No, no, no!”

Jin Yichuan was so scared that he waved his hands and said quickly: "Brother Fu, you are a martial arts master, invincible in the world, and destined to do great things. How can you waste your energy on such trivial matters? Just leave it to us brothers!"

"I promise to make Big Brother ours."

“…”

Shen Lian covered his face, unable to bear to look at Jin Yichuan's flattering face.

However, thinking back to what Lin Zhongtian had done to him, Shen Lian resisted the urge to complain, and shut his mouth tightly without saying a word.

Lin Zhongtian was quite pleased with Jin Yichuan's praise and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, since you insist, I'll leave this matter to you two brothers. Let's get back to the previous topic."

Previous topic...

The two brothers looked at each other when they heard this.

Jin Yichuan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shen, are you serious?"

Lin Zhongtian's face turned serious: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Shen Lian asked with great interest: "Any request is fine?"

Lin Zhongtian turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Yes, this opportunity is rare, you should think about it carefully."

Shen Lian's mouth twitched, and he joked: "Then I want to become as strong as you, is that possible?"

Lin Zhongtian thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It is indeed a bit difficult to be as strong as me, but if you just want to become stronger, then I can satisfy you."

"oh?"

Shen Lian laughed, obviously not quite believing it.

He said casually: "Then this one!"

Lin Zhongtian confirmed again: "Have you thought it through?"

Shen Lian nodded: "That's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian nodded, suddenly stood up and grabbed Shen Lian's left arm.

Shen Lian was slightly startled and was about to break free when he suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his body from Lin Zhongtian's palm, flowing through his limbs and bones at an extremely fast speed like a dragon.

“This… this is…”

Shen Lian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and felt that his whole body was warm as if he had soaked in a hot spring.

When Lin Zhongtian let go of his arm with a smile, Shen Lian couldn't help but look at him with surprise. Then he lowered his head and looked at his arm wrapped in white cloth. With a burst of strength, the muscles on his arm swelled instantly and broke the wrapped cloth.

Doctor Zhang, who was standing by, didn't know what was going on. Seeing this, he quickly stood up.

"Master Shen, what are you doing? You have an injury on your arm, you should rest more, how can you——"

Before he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang's voice suddenly stopped, and he stared at Shen Lian's arm in shock with wide eyes.

Under the torn white cloth, the places where there should have been two arrow wounds were now as smooth as before. Not only was there no sign of the arrow wounds, but even the skin had become much smoother.

“This…this…”

Doctor Zhang stood up suddenly, pointed at Shen Lian's arm, and stammered.

Jin Yichuan also opened his mouth wide, his face full of astonishment.

Shen Lian raised his left arm, clenched it tentatively, and then extended his hand to other parts of his body.

After a pile of broken bandages appeared on the ground, Shen Lian stood up and jumped twice on the spot.

Lin Zhongtian found it funny and casually pulled out the short knife from Jin Yichuan's waist and threw it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian subconsciously reached out to catch it, and was surprised to find that his reaction speed had actually improved a lot.

Holding the dagger tightly, Shen Lian excitedly practiced a set of sword techniques in the open space in the lobby. He found that not only his reaction speed had improved, but his strength and agility had also improved visibly.

After stretching his body, Shen Lian sat back with a relaxed look on his face, put the short knife on the table, turned his head with excitement and curiosity, looked at the smiling Lin Zhongtian and asked: "What is this? Is it internal force?"

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked curiously: "You actually know about internal strength?"

Shen Lian laughed: "Of course, I once studied Taoist internal skills with a Taoist priest named Wang at the Shangqing Palace in Longhu Mountain, but my talent was limited. After three years of study, I still gained nothing and had no choice but to give up."

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but look surprised: "You have this kind of experience?"

Shen Lian sighed and nodded, obviously still feeling a little regretful about this.

Lin Zhongtian immediately asked curiously: "What kind of internal skills did you learn at the beginning? Tell me about it."

Shen Lian was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still answered honestly: "It's just the most basic Taoist practice of tranquility."

"Qingjing Gong?"

"That's right. Taoist Master Wang once said that a person with great talent who practices the Pure and Quiet Technique can feel the energy within half a year, can get started in ten years, and can achieve minor success in thirty years. To achieve major success, in addition to talent, a bit of luck is also needed. As far as I know, since the founding of Longhu Mountain, only six people have practiced this technique to major success."

"What effect will it have after it is completed?"

"I heard it can prolong life, strengthen the body, eliminate all diseases, and even restore youth."

When it comes to restoring youth, Shen Lian's face is full of longing.

Doctor Zhang and Jin Yichuan beside them also looked envious and were obviously longing for it.

"..." Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and he was a little speechless, "You believe this too?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Shen Lian asked in surprise, "The Taoist priest Wang I mentioned just now was already sixty-three when I met him, but he looked no more than thirty or forty years old, with black hair and a strong body. He should have no problem living another sixty years."

"And what else?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"I mean, can he fly over eaves and walls and break bluestone with his palms?"

"Well... it is indeed possible, but this has nothing to do with Master Wang's inner strength attainments. The main reason is that he also practices external skills. I have learned a few moves from him. In terms of fists and feet alone, I am no match for him."

"What about internal energy? Could it hurt someone?"

"Shouldn't... be possible?" Shen Lian was not sure, and hesitated, "Master Wang did show me how to release internal force, but he just put the yellow paper on the palm of his hand and used internal force to blow it apart. There is no other use."

"I see."

Lin Zhongtian nodded suddenly. No wonder he had never heard of anyone in the world who was a master of internal skills.

It turned out that the inner strength in this world was not the inner strength he knew, but was more like the health-preserving exercise for strengthening the body, or the so-called qigong that was very popular in his previous life.

When Shen Lian saw the expression on Lin Zhongtian's face, he vaguely guessed that the power he possessed was not internal force.

So he sighed and said, "Brother Fu's power is something I have never seen or heard of before. I can only associate it with the most magical internal force I know. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Fu."

"No problem, no problem."

Lin Zhongtian smiled kindly, then changed the subject and revealed his true intentions.

"Brother Shen, do you still remember the article "Qingjing Gong"? "
