Chapter 204 The Recluse's Manual
The data panel trembled for a moment, then slowly dissolved. By the time it had fully faded, Gu Suxiu had already come back with two medicine packets. Mo Qian set the palm beads down, took the packets, and said, "Thank you."He paid for the medicine, and his eyes continued to scan the room, checking whether there was anything else worth absorbing. If there was, he could find an excuse to linger.Gu Suxiu noticed the restless movement of Mo Qian's eyes and felt more certain than ever that Mo Qian had come with another purpose. He could see that Mo Qian, having paid, was still hesitating and looking around rather than leaving. Gu Suxiu's heart moved, and he thought: Perhaps what this boy came for has something to do with my family's plum blossom needle technique. He seems honest enough but appears embarrassed to ask directly.Gu Suxiu cleared his throat and decided to raise the matter himself. "Young friend Mo, your acupuncture technique carries some traces of my Gu family's style. I ho
Chapter 203 The Spirit of the Nanmu Beads
Mo Qian's expression became serious. He made up his mind to try to address this.As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not delay the chopping of wood. If it could be solved, the time spent solving it would be well worth it.To solve this problem, I need to start with the medicinal properties of the single-ingredient prescription and the herbs themselves. Mo Qian stood in the courtyard and murmured quietly to himself, his eyes distant with thought.Wenqing Lane intersected with West Street not far from the South Gate. Compared to the prosperous stretch of West Street, the lane had a noticeably worn and faded look. The shops lining both sides were older and less kept.At the southeast corner where Wenqing Lane met West Street, there was a clinic. It belonged to Gu Suxiu, the doctor who had treated Xiao Baiyu with acupuncture.After finishing his breakfast in the rear living quarters, Gu Suxiu opened the clinic for the day. He first lit three sticks of incense at the small Buddha s
Chapter 202 Directing the Consciousness Inward
Once the problem was identified, the weight of confusion lifted from Mo Qian's chest entirely.When you are afraid of ghosts in the dark, you lose your bearings. Find the problem clearly, and you can treat it directly.Zhu Xiaoqi lifted the buns from the steamer, peeled away the dry lotus leaves, and wrapped six of them up for Mo Qian.Mo Qian took them with a smile, holding the warm bundle, and offered his thanks as he walked out."Still Xiaoqi's buns, the best around!" he called back cheerfully from the kitchen doorway."That silver tongue of yours. If you have that kind of energy, use it to make things right with the master." Zhu Xiaoqi gave him a look."I know." Mo Qian dismissed it lightly and left.Zhu Xiaoqi glanced at his retreating back and sighed, then turned back to her work.After that, Mo Qian visited every few days, each time bringing something thoughtful for Xiao Zongting.As the saying goes, even the angriest person does not strike someone who comes to them smiling. Gr
Chapter 201 The Path Divided
Mo Qian went back through recent events carefully. He was certain that Xiao Zongting's attitude had been fine during the Ruan Jing incident. His behavior at the regularization assessment had seemed a little cold, but Xiao Zongting was always quiet, and Mo Qian had not paid it close attention at the time.But what had actually happened? Between the Ruan Jing matter and the assessment, he had not done anything unusual, had he? He had only gone to Wild Boar Mountain.Mo Qian turned it over for a while and could not work it out. He gave a smile toward Xiao Zongting and said, "Miss Yu and Xiaoqi don't seem to be around. Did they go out?"He had hoped to keep the conversation going, find out how he had caused offense, and then apologize properly. After two lives, there was no pride involved in admitting fault when it was called for.But the moment he said this, Xiao Zongting shot to his feet, turned on Mo Qian with a dark face, and said with sudden anger, "Whether she goes out or not is no
Chapter 200 The Prisoner of Perspective
The next day, just after dawn, Mo Qian got up and continued his stance practice in the courtyard.The key to cultivation is steady daily progress, never giving up.Mo Qian stood until the sky was fully light, then dispersed his energy. A solid white breath sprayed from his mouth and dissolved in the morning breeze.It was no longer the chill of early spring. It was late May, with the beginning of summer approaching. In such weather, Mo Qian was still producing white breath from his mouth, which spoke to how vigorously the blood and qi were moving through his body. The temperature of the air held in his lungs was considerably higher than his body temperature.His body, running on inner breath, was like a combustion furnace, and his lungs were like a boiler full of steam, absorbing the heat generated within.Mo Qian wiped his sweat and went to the large water tank at the kitchen entrance to wash his face.He looked up at the bright sky and felt a small stir of thought. He had not visite
Chapter 199 The Unforced Title
Mo Qian exhaled and said, "What a shame."Luo Zhoucheng sneered. "Too late for regrets.""The shame is that there isn't enough to follow fully. Only enough for one call." Mo Qian said. "Never mind. Win a little less. One thousand taels. Open him."The cards turned. Jiang Qingyu won.Ximen Kankan had been standing to the side watching the whole game. At this moment he looked like a chess enthusiast watching a masterwork being played out, his excitement barely containable.He understood Mo Qian's strategy.Six consecutive folds, pressing systematically on the opponent's rhythm and drawing him entirely into the tempo Mo Qian had laid down.Then, the killing blow.Skill and nerve in equal measure. A brilliant combination of psychological warfare and consummate technique.In less than an hour, Luo Zhoucheng had no silver notes left.In the final round, Luo Zhoucheng had drawn the sky card. He was certain he was about to reverse everything. He committed almost all his remaining notes.But t
