Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 24: Secret Medicine - Dragon Tiger Powder!

Guangling Academy, with many disciples, is full of youthful energy.

Headed straight back to the Seven Star Boxing Club.

Mei Suping immediately found Zhong Hui, who is nicknamed "Chuanlin Swordsman" among the "Five Directions Quiet Master." Besides being fellow apprentices at the Seven Star Boxing Club, they are also cousins outside the Academy.

"How is it?"

Zhong Hui, with exceptional strength, is also beautiful, with a face as exquisite as moonlight shining on snow-covered blossoms, and a sharp chin. Her complexion is creamy white, smooth, and supple. Her cherry lips are both nimble and well-shaped; her lips are thin, and her rows of fine teeth are like broken jade — a true beauty. She looked slyly at Mei Suping, "Wasn't 'Tie Qiao Cheng' difficult to deal with?"

"Did you already know I wasn't a match for Cheng Fengxiao?" Mei Suping furrowed her brows slightly.

"Haha!"

"Cheng Fengxiao has been famous for twenty years, regarded as one of the 'Guangling Ten Tigers' alongside nine top masters of that time. How could he be easy to deal with?"

Zhong Hui laughed triumphantly, "Quickly, tell me, how many moves did it take for you to lose?"

The troublesome sister!

Mei Suping shook her head, "I didn't see Cheng Fengxiao today."

"Eh?"

Zhong Hui was taken aback, "Did he back out again?"

She recalled Mei Suping mentioning that last time, Cheng Fengxiao's senior disciple blocked the way and stalled, delaying her for ten days. Could it be the same this time?

"Yan Chuan!"

"He doesn't need to stall!"

Mei Suping raised an eyebrow, glancing at Zhong Hui, "When I arrived, I just caught Lu Qing from the 'Six Harmonies Fist Club' fighting him. Lu Qing's 'Black Tiger Fist' was as sharp as when he fought you earlier this year, but after several hundred rounds, he was defeated by Yan Chuan."

"..."

"?"

"!"

Zhong Hui widened her eyes, "Lu Qing?!"

...

"Yes."

Mei Suping recovered some ground, smiling mischievously, "Indeed, it's the same Lu Qing who defeated you earlier in the year. He's even improved since then. But Yan Chuan defeated him with 'Tiger Crane Double Forms,' just like Lu Qing defeated you then. The gap seemed small, but there was little suspense."

"Enough!"

"I was wrong!"

"Good sister, please stop hitting where it hurts!"

Hearing Mei Suping repeatedly mention "Lu Qing defeated you," Zhong Hui pleaded for mercy, quickly changing the topic, curiously asking, "'Tiger Crane Double Forms'? Is it the 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' from the 'Cheng Family Boxing'?"

'Cheng Family Boxing' was once as famous as 'Fu Fist,' and most members of the 'Seven Star Boxing Club' had some knowledge of this boxing technique. Zhong Hui was no exception and subconsciously thought 'Tiger Crane Double Forms' referred to 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing,' yet she frowned, "That's not right! 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing' are just intermediate boxing techniques. If Yan Chuan could defeat Lu Qing's 'Black Tiger Fist' using these two techniques, how profound would his mastery of boxing techniques have to be?"

Not even the Ding Jia Master from the Seven Star Boxing Club would dare claim victory over Lu Qing using intermediate techniques like 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing,' right?

"Could Cheng Fengxiao's disciple be so powerful?"

Zhong Hui was both amazed and doubtful.

Mei Suping still smiled, maintaining the suspense, then explained, "'Tiger Crane Double Forms' is no less intricate than the 'Iron Wire Fist,' embodying the essence of 'Cheng Family Boxing.' According to Yan Chuan, it's another absolute skill of 'Cheng Family Boxing' he created based on 'Tiger Form Boxing' and 'Crane Form Boxing.'"

"A self-created boxing technique?"

"No less than 'Iron Wire Fist'?!"

"Really?"

Zhong Hui, startled, squirted juice out of her mouth as she bit into a pear.

Luckily, Mei Suping deftly dodged and sat down aside, "I'm unsure about its authenticity either."

Creating martial arts is never easy.

Especially high-level ones.

Zhong Hui had also created a few low-level martial arts before, fully aware of the difficulty: high-level techniques like 'Iron Wire Fist' from Cheng Family or 'Nine Mighty Fist' from Fu Fist typically require several generations' collaborative effort to create, accumulating decades or even a century of effort and heart. Yan Chuan, at just twenty-six, creating such a technique seems improbable to me. He probably completed the final steps based on previous research on Cheng Family Boxing, maybe with Cheng Fengxiao's help. That would make more sense."

"I don't think so."

Mei Suping added, "I find Yan Chuan to have a noble character, not the type to claim his predecessors' or master's credits as his own."

"Forget it!"

"I don't want to think about it!"

Zhong Hui took another bite of pear, fetched her sword, "Though I haven't seen you return defeated, hearing about someone like Yan Chuan was worth waiting for you all morning."

She waved her hand, "For the next few days, help me check Yan Chuan's background. I'll find time to meet him myself, whether he's genuine or not, we'll see. If he's truly skilled, I'll give him a big opportunity!"

With that said.

"See you, I'm off to get busy." Zhong Hui left with her sword briskly.

"Little rascal!"

Mei Suping couldn't help but laugh and cry at her sister, but watching Zhong Hui's departing figure, Mei Suping felt a bit envious, "I wonder when I'll be qualified to enter the Inner Courtyard and access the core secrets of Guangling Academy."

Inner Courtyard!

That is the core of Guangling Academy!

Like Zhong Hui.

Like Lu Qing.

They've already stepped in, swiftly advancing, while Mei Suping remains outside, constantly just one step short of entry.

...

Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall.

After Mei Suping and the others left, Wei Wude also came to find Yan Chuan for a private talk, "Now that rogue disciple is one of the 'Six Wanderers' of the Six Harmonies Fist Club, with unfathomable abilities, yet he's still not a match for you, Senior Brother! Senior Brother, you've kept this hidden from me so well!"

Wei Wude thought he knew Yan Chuan's abilities well and sought aid from Cheng Fengxiao a few days ago.

Only after today's battle did he realize—

"Senior Brother is now as strong as the Master."

Wei Wude's eyes shone with golden light, "How about it? Interested in that matter? If Senior Brother acts, it will surely be a success!"

He was referring to the plan to ambush Du Hanfeng.

"No."

Yan Chuan decisively refused once again.

"Sigh!"

"Senior Brother truly is too cautious."

Wei Wude sighed.

Yan Chuan ignored the topic, lowered his voice, "Do you still have any 'Dragon Tiger Powder'? What's the current price?"

"Triggered by Lu Qing?"

Wei Wude was surprised.

'Dragon Tiger Powder' is one of the legendary secret medicines, where Dragon and Tiger meet, greatly enhancing a martial arts practitioner's Qi-Blood, strength, and muscle and bone. It's rare outside but is the most common type of secret medicine in Guangling Academy.

With the complex personnel in Guangling Academy, even if the Academy strictly prohibits it, the lure of heavy profits is irresistible. Just one batch of 'Dragon Tiger Powder' can fetch a high price of seven to eight taels outside, tempting many.

Wei Wude had several secret drug channels, buying them at high prices, reselling them, and earning quite a bit.

Yan Chuan's first few uses of secret medicine came from Wei Wude.

Except they were overly expensive, Yan Chuan couldn't afford many.

This time.

As Wei Wude said, Yan Chuan was provoked by Lu Qing's physical quality — clearly weaker in boxing mastery, but just because he's in Guangling Academy, saturated in Qi-Blood, tough in muscle and bones, Yan Chuan had to expend more energy and psychological tactics to narrowly win a move.

Yan Chuan couldn't wait for gradual Qi-Blood improvement!

Wei Wude chuckled, glanced around, seeing no one, also lowered his voice, "I have two sets, originally bought at eight taels each. If Senior Brother wants them, take both for fifteen taels."

So expensive!

Fifteen taels could match the common salary of an Escort Master or martial master for seven or eight months in Guangling City, not affordable for ordinary people.

However, its outstanding effects make it worth the price.
