At noon the next day, Shen Nian opened his eyes.

His brows frowned deeply, and his face became a little ugly.

After a whole night, he swallowed seventy poisonous elixirs, and his body strength began to change again.

According to his estimation, based on physical strength alone, he should have reached the level of a half-step martial arts god.

Originally, he wanted to try to use the remaining elixir to increase his physical strength to the Martial God realm in one fell swoop.

However, what he didn't expect was that his body seemed to have reached a saturation level. After the elixir entered the body, the body could not automatically absorb the toxins like before.

It seems that the upper limit has been reached.

"Is it because of the martial arts realm that you have reached the upper limit?"

Shen Nian was thoughtful.

If this is really the case, it would be a bit difficult to handle.

Now, because of his blocked state of mind, he has been unable to break through to the realm of martial arts.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the method he wants to improve his strength through body training will not work?

At this moment, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

At first, when he learned that his martial arts level could not be improved, he didn't really care.

If nothing else, even for normal cultivation, the innate spiritual energy he needs is a problem.

The martial arts realm cannot be improved. He can also increase his physical strength by swallowing toxins, thus improving his own strength.

So, he didn't panic.

But now...

After a moment of silence, he sighed, "It seems that we still need to solve the mental problem first."

He stood up and walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Zhang Zixuan following Ye Qingqing, and the two were about to walk outside.

The two of them also saw him.

Ye Qingqing's pretty face turned red instantly.

Zhang Zixuan greeted with a smile, "Brother Shen, have you finished practicing?"

Shen Nian glanced at the two of them, smiled and nodded, "Well, it just ended, you two are..."

Ye Qingqing hurriedly explained: "Brother Shen, it's like this. The several medicinal materials in the hospital's inventory are not enough. I'm going to purchase a batch. He... Daochang Zhang is going with me."

"Yes, I was worried that Qingqing would be in danger on the road, so I went over to take a look and was responsible for protecting her safety."

Zhang Zixuan said with a cheeky smile.

Shen Nian glanced at him and joked: "If we are really in danger, you guys don't know who is protecting whom!"

Although Zhang Zixuan was born in Longhu Mountain, where Taoism is orthodox, he does not know any Taoism and is just an ordinary person.

On the other hand, Ye Qingqing, after this period of practice, also successfully entered the level of Ming Jin.

Therefore, once in danger, Ye Qingqing may have to protect Zhang Zixuan.

Hearing Shen Nian's words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Zixuan's face, "Well...after all, I am also a man. I can be brave even if I can't beat him!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest.

"Pfft!"

Ye Qingqing couldn't hold back and laughed.

However, when she thought that Shen Nian was still in front of her, she immediately stopped laughing.

Shen Nian's eyes glanced at the two of them again, as if he noticed something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then, looking at Zhang Zixuan, his expression became serious, "If you want to chase Ye Zi, I won't stop you, but if you dare to act recklessly, even if you hide back to Longhu Mountain, I will tear down the gate of Tianshi Mansion. , make you pay the price!”

Zhang Zixuan quickly reached out his hand and promised: "I swear, I am sincere to Qingqing. Even if she doesn't like me, I will not mess around!"

Shen Nian nodded slightly, "Well, remember what you said."

Then, he looked at Ye Qingqing again and warned: "If he bullies you, remember to tell me and I will help you teach him a lesson."

"Um."

Ye Qingqing lowered his head, his face was so red that it seemed to bleed, and he nodded like a mosquito.

"Okay, you go and do your work!"

Shen Nian waved his hand and asked the two of them to leave.

Although he didn't know what happened between the two, he could tell that Ye Qingqing still had a good impression of Zhang Zixuan.

In this case, he doesn't mind creating a good story.

What he said just now can be regarded as helping Zhang Zixuan. As for the outcome, it depends on the latter.

Shen Nian shook his head and did not think about the two of them any more, but prepared to go find Mu Tianyi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the front hall, he was stopped by Fu Tianming, who said he had something to tell him.

So, the two returned to the backyard pavilion.

"Mr. Fu, I wonder why you are looking for me?"

After sitting down, Shen Nian asked.

It has been a while since Fu Tianming came to the medical clinic. He rarely talks to him alone unless there is something special.

"Little friend Shen, have you found a solution to your mental problem?"

Fu Tianming did not speak in a hurry, but considered it carefully before asking.

"Don't have a clue yet."

Shen Nian was startled and shook his head slightly.

He did not expect that what Fu Tianming wanted to tell him was actually about this matter.

However, he was still a little surprised and didn't understand why the other party would care about this issue.

"Mr. Fu, why do you ask this?"

he asked curiously.

Fu Tianming muttered: "I know a place that may be helpful to your current situation."

"Where?"

Shen Nian's eyes narrowed and he asked quickly.

"Xuzhou, Bozhou City."

Fu Tianming said slowly with a serious expression.

Bozhou City?

Shen Nian's eyes flickered for a moment.

When he first accepted the inheritance of heavenly medicine, he had witnessed the lives of all the disciples of heavenly medicine.

Almost half of the time, the medical staff had been to Bozhou City.

Or maybe it has some connection with Bozhou City.

Fu Tianming said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, Western medicine is booming, and ancient medical skills have declined. But if there is anywhere else that is the last stronghold of ancient medical skills, it must be Bozhou City!"

"The last frontier of ancient medical skills?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Nian's eyes.

Fu Tianming nodded and said with emotion: "That may be the last place in Xia Kingdom that still believes in ancient medical skills. Three of the five medical masters in the world came from there!"

Shen Nian was a little shocked.

Among the five great medical masters in the world, three are from Bozhou City?

After just thinking for a moment, he had the answer.

Mr. Fu's hometown is Hangzhou, which is why he finally lived in seclusion in Hangzhou.

As for Gui Wuhen, there is a high probability that he is not.

Therefore, the three medical masters most likely to come from Bozhou City should be the three who have lived in Kyoto for a long time.

Just when Shen Nian was deep in thought, Fu Tianming spoke again: "Your mental state problem is related to the medical way you practice, and Bozhou City is the only existing city where ancient medical skills are prevalent, where you may have A different perception.”

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Besides, I also have some selfish motives for letting you go to Bozhou City.

Every five years, an ancient medicine competition is held there, and the winner can become the president of the Ancient Medicine Association. If you want to lead the rise of ancient medicine, this is the best opportunity."

"Ancient Medical Association?"

Shen Nian was startled again.
