After the fight with delinquents, Song Shuhang felt very relieved. He hummed a song and strolled towards Li Yangde’s appartment.

“Train more? What sort of joke is that, train only to be beaten up more?”

“Bastard, devil. That guy definitely bumped into me on purpose! Definitely!” Mohawk cried bitterly. Two minutes ago, he’d thought the opponent was an idiot, but it turned out they were the real idiots.

The opponent clearly picked a quarrel just to torture them!

“Ah Sen, remember this enmity. Next time, we’ll find more brothers to crush him! If five people won’t do, then ten people, and if ten people won’t do, then twenty, or even fifty! I don’t believe that he’s a superman; he won’t be able to fend off a hundred of us!” the golden-haired delinquent said fiercely.

“Yea, we have to pop him.” Mohawk said gritting his teeth.

Their decision matched perfectly with Song Shuhang’s intent.

As the delinquents spoke, a short-haired girl yawned and approached from close by.

It was a very beautiful girl; even without makeup, she still looked pretty. Moreover, she also had the precious three null characteristics 1 , and the cold-hearted look on her was great.

Normally, mohawk and his buddies would definitely surround the girl, kabedon her, and give her a proper teasing. Then, they’d bring her to a nearby motel, and do some embarrassing things.

However, today they bit the dust, and did nothing.

The short-haired girl came closer, and her dark eyes stared at the delinquents who bit the dust. After a while, she muttered, “I can’t believe it, someone ks’d me?”

What? Ks? 2 What are you saying? Is this girl playing a game?

Mohawk looked confused, and then he felt a soreness on his back.

The short-haired girl walked over their bodies as if they were trash, yawning as she walked further away.

“Damn, bi*tch, f*cking bi*tch. Bastard and bi*tch, f*cking die a painful death!” Mohawk felt pain from his back, and cursed continuously. He wasn’t a masochist who would feel pleasure from being stepped on.

However, the golden-haired delinquent gazed at him enviously, ‘I’m so envious, if only the person that was stepped on was me, ouch ouch ouch.’

A masochist was by his side.

On the way, Song Shuhang bought three baskets of steamed dumplings and three portions of soymilk, and came to Li Yangde’s rented apartment. He knocked hard on the door.

After a long while, Tubo, who had bloodshot eyes and reeked of alcohol, dragged himself to open the door.

“Yo, it’s you, Shuhang.” After he opened the door, he stared at Shuhang from head to toe. Damn it, this fellow’s all fresh and cool without a hint of drunkenness.

When did this guy’s alcohol tolerance get so high? He remembered that Shuhang only had the tolerance level equal to that of Gao Moumou. He alone could outdrink four Gao Moumous and three Song Shuhangs back then.

But, last night, Song Shuhang outdrank him, Li Yangde, and the nearly drunk Gaomou until they all blacked out. What the hell was going on?

Could it be that, yesterday, this guy was not drinking alcohol, but drinking water instead?

“Looks like you just woke? You guys skipped two classes already.” Song Shuhang smiled, then lifted the steamed dumplings and soybean milk, “I bought breakfast for you guys, want to eat?”

Tubo snatched the breakfast from Shuhang, and bantered, “At least you still have some conscience.”

Li Yangde scratched his head as he walked out of a room, “I smell something fragrant. Good timing, I’m hungry!”

“Where’s Gao Moumou?” Song Shuhang asked.

“Laying dead still. This guy was so annoying last night, he yelled in his sleep. Stuff like ‘virginity’ and ‘I’m unworthy of you Yayi,’ and ‘no, please no’ and so on.” Li Yangde laughed and said.

Song Shuhang pinched his chin, “Looks like this’ll be good to use when I’ve got no money, it’ll be good to force Gao Moumou to treat us to a meal.”

“Yeah, it’s worth considering. It should be useful two or three times; anything more, and he might stop caring and go nuts.” Tubo seconded.

“Proposal, there’s a place called ‘Ten Fragrances Fish Head’ north of the college town that has food with hella good flavor, thinking about it makes my mouth water.” Li Yangde nodded.

“You three… want to die ten thousand times?” Gao Moumou said with a gloomy face as he rubbed his temples. He felt his greatest misfortune in life was being assigned to the same dorm as the three in front of him.

All of them were exploitative bastards.

After a while of rest at Li Yangde’s rented apartment, Song Shuhang went to Li Yangde, and asked, “Yangde, can you help me search which Chinese medicine shop in Jiangnan Area sells these medicinal herbs?”

Song Shuhang took out the note Medicine Master gave him, which had four rare Chinese medicinal herbs written on it.

“You aren’t sick, are you?” Yangde asked, as he took the note.

“My body’s great. These are Chinese medicine herbs that a ‘friend’ of mine needs. However, he’s not too sure where they’re sold in Jiangnan Area, so he’s asked me to help. And so, I thought of you; speaking of computer skills, you’re the best in the dorm.” Song Shuhang bootlicked.

“Searching is convenient now that the Chinese medicine stores in the country have all been added to a Chinese medicine system. I only need to enter the medicinal herb and apply a filter to find which store sells it. Additionally, I could also go on related forums and groups by posting and leaving messages, the stores that sell it, but haven’t been added to the system, can also be found like this. At the latest, I’ll have news tomorrow.” Li Yangde said affirmably.

“Then I’m counting on you!” with that said, Shuhang promised a reward, “If you find out, you won’t need Gao Moumou, that scrub, to treat you to the Ten Fragrances Fish Head after the sports event, I’ll treat you!”

“Then it’s settled.” Li Yangde licked his lips, his mouth full of saliva.

“A promise’s a promise.” Song Shuhang laughed.

After he turned, he silently clenched his fists.

With Li Yangde’s help, I’ll be able to narrow down the search area to the limit and find where these four medicinal herbs are sold in Jiangnan area. If the ‘enemy mastermind’ really buys these four medicinal herbs, I can follow the clues and find him. 

Ten minutes later.

Song Shuhang left Li Yangde’s apartment, and headed towards Medicine Master’s residence.

His dorm mates decided to rest a while after eating to let their hangover settle.

Seeing as it was early, Song Shuhang went to help Medicine Master.

Medicine Master has helped him plenty, and the only way for him to repay Medicine Master was to complete the recipe for the ‘Simplified Body Tempering Liquid.’

For Shuhang’s convenience, Medicine Master specially bought the same brand and model of induction stove and hot pot.

The process and recipe for refining Body Tempering Liquid haven’t changed, but today, Medicine Master had Song Shuhang replace ‘water’ with ‘medicinal soup’ that he had concocted.

This medicinal soup was made by boiling five common Chinese herbs.

This was the first step Medicine Master used to change Song Shuhang’s pill refining technique from using ‘induction stove’ and ‘hot pot’ to using a pill furnace.

Although Song Shuhang’s methods were fine, it wouldn’t be possible to have all medicine masters in the world of cultivation learn how to use an induction stove and a hot pot to refine Body Tempering Liquid, right?

Medicine masters in the world of cultivation with their own hot pot and induction stove, just thinking of such scenery hurt his mind.

So, an improvement was necessary!

Moreover, based on Medicine Master’s estimation, this ‘medicinal soup’ could reduce refining time of Body Tempering Liquid.

Three hours later, seven past one o’clock in the afternoon.

Just as Medicine Master estimated, the refining time decreased by a lot.

“It succeeded.” Song Shuhang took a deep breath, and pinched his nose. The next moment, the medicinal liquid blew off the hot pot lid, and a thick black mist and stench dispersed.

“Haha, no need to pinch your nose, watch this.” Medicine Master laughed aloud and threw out a bead-shaped object, then formed a seal with both hands, “Retract!”

Suddenly, suction came from within the bead, absorbing all the black mist that filled the house into it.

Song Shuhang’s eyes shimmered, wishing he could use spells right now.

“Here.” Medicine Master tossed the bead towards Shuhang, “Be careful not to drop it, or it’ll explode once it hits the floor, releasing the stench and mist from within.

Song Shuhang caught the bead in a flurry, “Senior, you needn’t give me such a hard time!”

After catching it, Song Shuhang found this bead to be the shell of a medicinal herb.

“That’s the shell of a pit cherry. It’s got no real use, and is usually thrown away. I had a sudden inspiration today to use this to encase the stench and thick smoke from the Body Tempering Liquid you refined.” Medicine Master smiled smugly and said, “Besides, as I mentioned before, the stench produced from your Body Tempering Liquid is a total nightmare for a First Stage cultivator who has opened his or her Nose Aperture, yet is unable to control his or her sense of smell. If, one day, you meet a Second Stage True Master who will be your enemy, this thing can bring about unexpected effects. If you use it well, it might become the key to victory in a battle.”

This thing came at the perfect time!
