Chapter 348: Chapter 0348 - Opening with a BeautyFor the first time preparing medicine on my own, my hands and feet were inevitably a bit clumsy, but following the methods and steps from the "Shennong Scripture," I still managed to look the part. Having studied the pharmaceutical Chapter of the "Shennong Scripture," I knew that alchemy was divided into three tiers. The lowest tier was the preparation of relatively inferior medicines. Next came preparing mid-tier medicines, which required mastering the heat. Otherwise, it was easy to waste all previous efforts. The most difficult was preparing high-end medicines, which reportedly required the use of the Three Mystic Fires. Luo Yang didn’t know what the Three Mystic Fires were, though it seemed there was a time when he had understood such matters, but he could no longer remember. The Master Servant Pill belonged to the lower-middle tier of medicines; a slight deviation in heat could still lead to a successful concoction. First, I had to dry various Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs, which was not an easy task, and by dawn, there were still several herbs unfinished. During the day, I had to go to the county to run errands, so I needed to sneak in an hour or two of sleep. Emerging from the landscape painting, Yin Spirit first visited Hong Jiaxin’s room to have a look. Suyun’s eyes were still rather elegant, while Hong Jiaxin’s were as wild as ever, sprawled out with none of the grace of a lady. Early in the morning, everyone staying at Qin Piao’s House woke up. The time was set, and at 10 a.m. the martial arts school would open. This was a very important day in Luo Yang’s life, and he was particularly excited, cheerful, his lips constantly curled into a smile. All the beauties made an effort to dress up, intending to show their most beautiful side. Luo Yang, An Yuying, and Tang Guihua all donned Tang-style attire, while the disciples wore sportswear. Suyun wore a gown, and she would change her clothes for the performance later. Last night, I notified Dai Bao Jian, and he arrived at Hongyun Brigade on time, ready to leave with Luo Yang. Hong Jiaxin originally wanted to invite her Sorority sisters to enjoy the spectacle, but they had classes and had to give up on the idea. We were busy until almost nine in the morning, and the motorcade then left the Hongyun Brigade for the county town. Shuang Qiao, Zhu Li, and Chen Jie were waiting in the county for Luo Yang. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Quite a few of the village ruffians also wanted to take a peek and followed Lang Yifeng’s car out of the village. Arriving at the floor below the martial arts school, we saw Zhu Li and the others already waiting there. Xu Huimin and the photographer arrived shortly after. With journalists present, many of the beauties felt a bit uneasy, as it was their first time being in the news. The only regret was that there was no stage set up; we had to make do with a performance on the adjacent open ground. After setting off firecrackers, it was time for Lang Yifeng to perform the lion dance. At first, there weren’t many spectators, but gradually the crowd began to grow. Lang Yifeng was a professional lion dancer and his performance was not lacking, earning round after round of warm applause. The sound of gongs and drums mixed with the applause, creating festive music. After the lion dance, it was Luo Yang’s turn to showcase his martial arts. Luo Yang stepped onto the open ground and said, "I’ll take a Horse Stance, and if anyone can push me, they’ll get one thousand yuan." Glancing at the crowd, he saw a tall man. Luo Yang pointed at the tall man and said, "You come try. If you can push me, the one thousand yuan is yours." As he spoke, he pointed to a small stack of banknotes laid out nearby. The tall man eagerly stepped forward, and as soon as Luo Yang took the Horse Stance, he pushed with all his might, yet he couldn’t move Luo Yang. The audience responded with thunderous applause. Apart from the tall man, several other young men also came up to try, all to no avail, returning empty-handed. On the way to the county, Luo Yang had Lang Yifeng prepare a few bricks. "Everybody come and see these bricks; I’m going to smash five with one punch. Anyone can come up and check that they’re not hollow," Luo Yang said. "I invite the journalists to confirm as well." Xu Huimin came over personally and checked each brick. Then, many spectators also came to inspect the bricks, verifying they were indeed solid red bricks. "Alright, don’t blink now, watch how I smash five bricks with one punch," Luo Yang announced with a formal bow to all sides. The scene instantly quieted down, you could hear a pin drop. Ha! Although Luo Yang threw the punch quickly, he suddenly held back, lightly touching the brick with his fist and stopping. The bricks remained unscathed. The audience burst into laughter. "You all think I don’t have the ability to break 5 bricks, right?" Luo Yang laughed. He scanned the crowd, seeing that most of the audience nodded in agreement. "Well, watch closely! I’m really going to break bricks now. If I can’t do it, I’ll give everyone present one thousand yuan," Luo Yang announced generously. Cheers erupted from all around. With Luo Yang’s strength, breaking 10 solid red bricks with one punch was a piece of cake. He only aimed for 5 bricks because he didn’t want to show off too much. "I’m going to break bricks now." Before his words even faded away, Bang! The 5 bricks shattered in response, dust and fragments flying everywhere. Wow! Clap clap clap... The audience exploded with excitement, almost clapping their hands raw. At this point, the audience was highly energized. Next was Shi Nan’s singing performance. She was about twenty years old, with dyed red hair, and average in both figure and looks. Dressed in sexy clothing and high heels, she was quite charming. Her rendition of "No Liquor Left" took the atmosphere to an even higher level. Then it was supposed to be Lang Yifeng’s martial arts exhibition, but after Luo Yang’s performance, Lang Yifeng didn’t dare to embarrass himself. He slipped over to Luo Yang and whispered, "Brother Yang, my skills are too poor. It’s better if you continue performing." Indeed, Luo Yang’s skills were leagues ahead of Lang Yifeng. Luo Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then let me perform again." Thus, Luo Yang stepped forward once more and asked, "Does everyone still want to see me perform?" The audience shouted in unison, "Yes!" Loud applause followed. Luo Yang had not intended to perform a second act, but now that he had to add an impromptu one, he quickly racked his brains for what to do next. He thought about showing off some leg techniques, but that would be too flashy. Secret moves, being his bread-and-butter skills, should not be revealed lightly. Once truly unleashed, they are meant to take lives. After some thought, Luo Yang said, "How about this? I won’t use my hands. One person, or even two, can come at me with wooden sticks. If you can hit me, each person will receive five thousand yuan as a reward." Upon hearing this, the audience was eager to try. Xu Huimin worried that Luo Yang was going too far, and making a fool of himself would be counterproductive. "Instructor Luo, are you really sure you won’t get hit, no matter who swings at you?" Xu Huimin asked seriously. "Of course," Luo Yang replied confidently. Having warned Luo Yang, but seeing him still determined to do it, Xu Huimin had nothing more to say. At that moment, two muscular young men stepped out from the crowd, one with a square face, the other with big eyes. The young man with the square face sneered, "What if we end up killing you?" Just by looking at their physiques, one could tell that both the square-faced and big-eyed young men must work out regularly. Luo Yang said indifferently, "Neither of you has the ability to harm me." The big-eyed young man, unconvinced, said, "Let’s give it a try then!" There was another well-known martial arts school in the county, the Yingyan Martial Arts School, with many apprentices. Luo Yang casually asked, "I recognize you two. You’re apprentices from Yingyan Martial Arts School, aren’t you?" It was just a guess. But it turned out the square-faced and big-eyed young men indeed were apprentices from Yingyan Martial Arts School. Luo Yang had shown off a few moves at Yingyan Martial Arts School before, so many apprentices should recognize him. It seemed these two young men didn’t know Luo Yang, possibly being former students who had already graduated. "We are indeed apprentices from Yingyan Martial Arts School. What about it, scared now? If you’re not capable, then don’t embarrass yourself here," the big-eyed young man sneered. "I said you could come at me with sticks, and I won’t go back on my word. Hand them the sticks," Luo Yang ordered. Immediately, Dai Bao Jian came over and gave each of the young men a pine stick about a meter long.
