Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

He suddenly thought of a question.

“How come you’re still carrying lime with you?”

Chen Jie replied unhurriedly, “This lime is a medicinal ingredient. As a doctor, it’s quite reasonable for me to carry some medicinal ingredients, isn’t it?”

“This stuff, it’s a medicinal ingredient too?”

Ni Manzi looked at Chen Jie, puzzled, as Chen Jie chuckled and said, “Of course. The medicine classics state lime, also known as white lime, scattered lime, mineral lime, etc., is pungent and warm, toxic, can stop bleeding, relieve pain, kill insects, and can treat diseases like damp sores, hemorrhoids, dysentery, and more!”

“This is indeed a fine medicinal ingredient!”

Chen Jie spoke convincingly, masking his malicious intent to blind with the lime he carried.

As a doctor, it was so convenient. Whatever you carry could be said to be used in medicine. The breadth and depth of Chinese medicine are not to say that everything in the world can be medicated; actually, more than ninety percent can be turned into Chinese medicine.

This is what makes the Huaxia people frightening.

In front of Huaxia’s people, all creatures in the world are classified into two types: one can be eaten and included in the cookbook.

The other can’t be eaten and is used as medicine!

Ni Manzi was dumbfounded by Chen Jie’s explanation—so the lime could be used as medicine.

But he couldn’t refute since everything Chen Jie said was true, and lime indeed was a documented medicinal ingredient in the medicine classics.

During his time with Doctor Bai, Chen Jie hadn’t learnt anything new, just the medicine classics, which he now knew by heart.

Seeing that danger had subsided, Chen Jie looked at Ni Manzi, still in shock, and said, “That’s why I say, learning medicine is very useful. The medicine classics contain most of the world’s magical creatures and even have medicinal values for treatment, so I’ve won!”

At this point, Ni Manzi regained his composure and said, “I’ve learned something new.”

Then Ni Manzi asked, “Tell me then, you’ve won, what are your terms?”

On hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Ni Manzi and said, “Hero.”

Ni Manzi waved his hand and said, “Stop calling me a hero. We are kindred spirits, so I don’t mind telling you my real name. My surname is Ni. My original name was Ba San, but after following my master up the mountain to learn the martial arts, he gave me a name—Wenjun. Later, after descending from the mountain and killing a few corrupt officials, they gave me another nickname, Manzi!”

“Ni Wenjun?”

Chen Jie paused slightly, the name sounding familiar!

It seemed like he had heard it somewhere!

Possibly in a history textbook from his previous life—but that was not important now, since this world might not be related to his previous one.

Ni Wenjun said, “You can call me Ba San, or you can call me Manzi. Either way, it’s just a title; it doesn’t matter!”

Chen Jie hesitated and replied, “It’s not proper that way. How about I call you Brother Ni?”

“That works too. By the way, now you can tell me your name, right?”

Chen Jie bowed: “Chen Jie, Chen Jiusi.”

“Chen Jiusi, hmm, I’ll remember that. From now on, you, Chen Jiusi, are my brother, Ni Wenjun.”

“You, Brother, I…”

“Don’t refuse. Ni Manzi makes friends without caring about status or standing; as long as the temper fits, we’re good. And you, kid, you sure suit my temper!”

Ni Wenjun was quite pleased with Chen Jie.

Chen Jie said, “Brother, if you’re going to be like this, I’ll feel uncomfortable making any claims.”

Ni Wenjun laughed and said, “What claims? As your brother, how can I possibly let you down?”

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, “Brother Ni, can you teach me martial arts?”

“Hmm? That’s your only condition?”

Chen Jie nodded: “Yes, that’s my only condition.”

Ni Wenjun pondered and then said, “Come here.”

Chen Jie didn’t harbor any suspicion, and as Ni Wenjun placed his hand on his shoulder, the next moment Chen Jie felt a warm current entering his body. The next instant, the strength within his body began to be activated, and even the Yang Chun Skill’s Breathing Method started to operate unconsciously.

And as the Breathing Method operated, that strand of warm current was actually absorbed by Chen Jie.

“Hmm!”

Ni Wenjun furrowed his brows and let go, baffled.

What was that just now?

Although the strand of Gang Qi he had probed into Chen Jie’s body was less than one-thousandth of his strength, it was directly absorbed by that mysterious power. How could that be?

Thinking, Ni Wenjun looked at Chen Jie with surprise.@@novelbin@@

Chen Jie also looked back at him.

“How is it, Brother?”

Ni Wenjun said, “Your body is quite strange, your talent is just ordinary, but you’ve established a solid foundation. You’ve already broken through the Skin Barrier, using the Grand Ancestor Long Fist, right? These are all by the book. However, what’s this strange power inside you, and why does it feel so familiar to me?”

“Where have I seen it before?”

Ni Wenjun frowned and pondered.

Chen Jie was startled realizing that Ni Wenjun was indeed formidable, having even detected his secret, the Yang Chun Skill.

That strange power he mentioned must undoubtedly be the Yang Chun Skill.

Ni Wenjun now was deep in thought. The power inside Chen Jie just now seemed familiar to him, as if he had encountered it before, and right before his eyes. After some thought, suddenly he looked at the injuries on his body, then his eyes widened: That’s it!

Ni Wenjun abruptly opened his eyes, and the next moment, he remembered.

Right, no wonder that power felt familiar; it was because he had been wounded by it.

The Twenty-four Water Manipulation Palm Styles!

Indeed, it was the Twenty-four Water Manipulation Palm Styles used by Ding Shun that had seriously injured him!

But how could this young man have such a strange aura?

“Brother, come here again.”

Chen Jie approached, followed by Ni Wenjun once again placing his hand on Chen Jie’s back. Then, using his own True Qi, he forced out a trace of the Twenty-four Water Manipulation Palm Power and transmitted it into Chen Jie’s body.

The moment the power entered Chen Jie’s body, the next instant, Chen Jie felt the Yang Chun Skill within him suddenly stir.
