The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 133 Wudang Tonic Soup

Song Qingshu was busy in the alchemy room when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. The voice was not disguised at all. Song Qingshu knew who it was without turning around. The past ten years in Wudang were not fake.

He manipulated three pots simultaneously, adding different ingredients one by one, then blending them into one pot one by one according to the timing. Finally, he simmered them over a low fire, temporarily pausing before turning around and saying, "Second Uncle is already impatient. Do you want to try out my methods?"

Yu Lianzhou stared at Song Qingshu and suddenly asked, "You just said you practiced One Finger Yang, is that true?"

Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then a broad smile appeared on his face as he nodded, "Of course it's true, but 'One Yang Finger' is difficult to learn and master, and progress is slow. Only when you practice it to the fourth level can it heal injuries. At the first level, you can turn bones into flesh and revive the dead. I'm far from that. And I don't recommend others to practice it. Refining essence and transforming qi to the ultimate strength and yang is difficult, and it will take twice the effort to practice without a virgin body. It's almost impossible to go beyond the third level in your lifetime. It's far inferior to our Wudang 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong'."

"I believe you." Yu Lianzhou's words stunned Song Qingshu. After a moment, he smiled and said, "No matter what, Wudang is my home. I have always been the first disciple of the third generation of Wudang. Carrying forward Wudang and saving the Han people from dire straits are my unchanging pursuits. Second Master, don't worry that I will go astray. Qingshu's Taoist and Confucian classics were not learned in vain."

Yu Lianzhou couldn't help but burst out laughing, then asked, "Does your decoction really involve the Shaolin Great Huan Dan?"

"No, this is the Wudang Great Tonic Soup that Hu Qingniu and I researched by scraping off 20% of the Shaolin Great Huan Dan. It's a good thing that I've personally verified, but it's just under the name of the Shaolin Great Huan Dan. Hu Qingniu is a member of the Ming Cult after all, so my father and the others will have some concerns. Once they have some reluctance, even the best elixir will be ineffective. It's better to use the name of the Shaolin Great Huan Dan. At least there's no burden on our hearts, and instead, there's more anticipation."

Song Qingshu shrugged and said, "Anyway, this Wudang tonic soup was originally a replica of the Shaolin Great Rejuvenating Pill. The medicinal effects are really similar, but the efficiency and onset speed are slightly different."

Only then did Yu Lianzhou begin to inquire in detail, and Song Qingshu readily disclosed everything he and Hu Qingniu had learned, detailing the process of their deduction and the problems they encountered. Finally, he continued, "Although this Shaolin Dahuan Dan carries the Shaolin name, it's actually a product of medicine and Taoism. Hu Qingniu and I are both among the rare medical experts of our time. Analyzing the pharmacological formulas is no big deal, but when it comes to refining the elixir, we're far behind. Expecting the techniques and specific order of compatibility to be perfectly accurate is a bit of a stretch."

"Are you planning to learn alchemy?" Yu Lianzhou heard his emotion and unwillingness, and felt that this kid was going to cause trouble again.

"Second Master Uncle knows me best. After my third Wudang disciple consumed the Shaolin Great Huan Dan, he became obsessed with alchemy. I'm sure many people will feel more at ease. They might even offer me alchemy-related items to curry my favor." Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Second Master Uncle, do you think it's really a good thing for a teenager under 20 to defeat the head of Huashan, the Five Elders of Kongtong, and the Supreme Head of Kunlun? If this young man doesn't fall into depravity after achieving fame, he'll be remembered by others. A tree that stands out in the forest will be crushed by the wind. I was too young to resist."

"I'm glad you have this thought. I was really worried that you would become too arrogant after becoming famous at a young age. But since you were able to defeat my elder brother, your skills are truly remarkable in the martial arts world." Yu Lianzhou left with satisfaction. "Master is waiting for your Wudang tonic soup, but don't show off too much and make my elder brother and us, your uncles, lose confidence."

"I understand, kid." Song Qingshu knew that Yu Lianzhou was giving him a reminder, so he nodded in agreement. As for whether he should continue to be so evil in the future, that would depend on whether it was necessary. Anyway, he would not show weakness to the outside world in the short term. As long as the news of his obsession with alchemy spread, it would be easy for his skills to stagnate or even regress.

"What are you going to do with the Shaolin Great Huandan?" Yu Lianzhou walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and asked directly without turning his head.

"There are two candidates. One is the Grand Master, and the second is Xiao Wuji. But I am a little hesitant myself. Let's wait until the Grand Master comes out of retreat." Song Qingshu had the Wudang Tonic Soup and did not have much desire for the Shaolin Great Huan Dan. He believed that as long as he studied more and made up for the deficiencies in alchemy, he might be able to refine the Wudang Great Huan Dan.

"Indeed, you're a good disciple of the third generation of Wudang, honoring your elders and caring for your fellow disciples." Yu Lianzhou left with satisfaction. Song Qingshu then turned back to his Wudang tonic soup. This was only one portion, only three times more than what he had drunk. After diluting it into eight portions, it should be enough. They didn't have the "One Finger of Sun," and too much of the medicine would be harmful.

Song Qingshu's control was just right. The Seven Heroes of Wudang and Yin Susu took their own shares and began to practice on their own. Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou were the fastest and came out after two hours, with joy on their faces that they couldn't hide. Yu Daying and Zhang Songxi came out one after another. Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu and Mo Shenggu took the slowest, but it only took about three hours.

Yin Susu's face was filled with joy. She had lived on the Ice and Fire Island for ten years. After she came back, she became pregnant with her second child, a little girl, because of the tonic that Song Qingshu gave to Zhang Cuishan. This tonic soup had damaged her foundation to some extent. Not only did it make up for her lost foundation, but her skills also improved a lot. The most important thing was that the tonic soup specially prepared for her by Song Qingshu also had the effect of nourishing the skin and beauty, making her feel three to five years younger.

It's not the fastest that has the best effect. The Wudang tonic soup prepared by Song Qingshu almost used up most of the precious spiritual medicines he brought with him. The next preparation will take some time, but with the wealthy man of the Sky Eagle Sect around, it probably won't be difficult.

Yin Susu learned from Zhang Cuishan that Song Qingshu had found the "Purple Clouds Skill" specifically for Zhang Wuji, but he had to wait five years to see the follow-up progress. This made her like Song Qingshu even more. She originally planned to ask her father and brother to secretly seize the "Purple Clouds Skill" from the Huashan Sect, but she didn't expect that Song Qingshu had secretly completed it himself.

Yin Susu wasn't worried about the so-called five-year agreement. The item was in Zhang Cuishan's hands, and everyone in Wudang had acquiesced. However, this skill could only be used to dispel the cold poison, and she would have to switch to the Pure Yang Wuji Gong afterward. Even so, Yin Susu was still very happy. The Pure Yang Wuji Gong was no less powerful than the Purple Cloud Gong, and was even a level higher. It wasn't as extreme as the Purple Cloud Gong's extreme strength and masculinity, but it had greater potential in the future, making it the best choice.

Xian Yutong practiced the "Purple Clouds Skill", and although he was in his sixties, he couldn't even beat Song Qingshu, a teenager. This shows that the "Purple Clouds Skill" is far inferior to the "Pure Yang Wuji Skill". Yin Susu's favorite is the "Orchid Acupuncture Hand". The Wudang female lineage started from then on, so she was a true Wudang member.

With the tacit approval of the second-generation Wudang leader, Song Yuanqiao, and the active promotion of the third-generation leader, Song Qingshu, she had become the leader of the Wudang women's lineage, the head of the second-generation women. There was only one third-generation disciple, Zhou Zhiruo. As the third-generation Wudang leader, she shouldn't be sent to the Emei Sect, right? Song Qingshu pondered this, his resentment rapidly diminishing. Seeing that he was about to reach the bottom, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly that his efforts had finally paid off.
