Chapter 72 Water Temple
Shen's Medical Clinic.
"Nephew, this is the last batch of Three Spirit Blood Elixir."
"We've used up all the water monkey's blood, bones, and flesh!"
Shen Yu, the owner of Shen's Medical Clinic, took out two medicine bottles.
The materials required to make this pill are numerous, the most important of which are the blood, bones, and flesh of strange creatures such as water monkeys, or more precisely, physical beasts.
Among the mythical beasts, the water monkey is ultimately too small, and there isn't much material that can be extracted from it.
However, for Shen Yu, this was already a rare experience in making pills.
Often, the corpses of these strange beasts are extremely rare, and Shen Yu had only seen them a few times.
He had the opportunity to acquire the equipment this time, thanks in large part to Yang Jian bringing the corpse of the water monkey.
Shen Yu was still very grateful to Yang Jian.
He had inquired and learned that someone had previously set their sights on Shen's Medical Clinic and was preparing to take action. However, after Yang Jian visited Shen's Medical Clinic and left members of the Meiyu Gang in the clinic, the force that had been eyeing Shen's Medical Clinic gave up and stopped keeping an eye on it.
Shen Yu learned of this afterward and felt very fortunate.
Although the Shen family's medical clinic has some status in the city, it is not as prestigious as the powerful families in the city, and its ability to protect itself is not strong. If it wants to live well, it still needs to rely on the powerful families in the city.
This is also why Shen Yu decisively sent Shen Nianxin to the Yang residence after learning about Yang Jian's drowning.
As for its effectiveness, the fact that Shen's Medical Clinic still exists after the chaos in the city is the best proof of that.
During the period when the Divine Talisman Society was causing trouble, many wealthy families in the city suffered.
It wasn't the Divine Talisman Society that made the move, but rather some opportunistic forces within the city.
These forces are strategic in their targets; they dare not attack the truly powerful households in the city, but rather those wealthy households with decent assets but weak power.
Not far from Shen's Medical Clinic, there were wealthy families who suffered misfortune; not only were their money looted, but their family members were also killed.
It was only after the Yunnan Provincial Army stationed troops in the city that those people stopped and dared not continue their actions.
After order was restored in the city, everything returned to normal, and the previous crimes were covered up!
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Shen!"
"I'll take people to take a look once the dock is mostly repaired."
"If I catch any more strange beasts that resemble water monkeys, I'll have to trouble Uncle Shen again."
Yang Jian took the two medicine bottles.
Upon opening the medicine bottle, a mixture of bloody and herbal scents wafted out. Seeing the blood-red pills inside, Yang Jian's eyes flashed with joy.
He knew the effects of the Three Spirits Blood Elixir best; after taking it so many times, the results were truly remarkable.
"Nephew, you don't need to be so polite about this!"
Shen Yu said with a smile.
After the city recovered, Shen Nianxin returned to Shen's Medical Clinic.
He was very happy to know that his daughter was doing well in the Yang family.
Although he had some ulterior motives when he sent Shen Nianxin to the Yang family, he still cares a lot about his daughter's life now.
When parents consider their children's needs, they often have many concerns, and sometimes their opinions may even differ from their children's. However, most parents genuinely care about their children's well-being and would not send them into a dangerous situation.
Elders are knowledgeable and don't want their descendants to take the wrong path, but they are easily misunderstood by their descendants.
Yang Jian did not stay at Shen's Medical Clinic for long. After chatting briefly, he left!
When he left, he had not only two bottles of Three Spirit Blood Elixir, but also two bottles of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills in his arms.
These are the pills that his fifth uncle, Yang Changhui, asked him for.
"Given Uncle's current physical condition, a bottle of Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills would be enough."
"Too much of a good thing can be overwhelming and counterproductive!"
Yang Jian touched the two bottles of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills in his pocket, thinking silently to himself.
His fifth uncle recovered even faster than he had expected, and he has already started getting out of bed. At this rate, he will be fully recovered soon!
Yang Changhui will handle the police station affairs at the Yang residence for the time being, and he plans to go to the police station in a few days.
Although Yang Changhong had said he might not get the position of police chief after rejecting Dao Yin Wenhan's offer last time, Yang Changhui still planned to give it a try.
If it works out, great; if it doesn't, there's no real loss.
Moreover, since a new police chief has not yet been appointed, Yang Changhui can enjoy the power of the police chief for a while.
Before long, Yang Jian arrived at the Meijiang Wharf.
At this time, many people are busy rebuilding the Meijiang Wharf. After these days of reconstruction, the basic framework is now complete, and the overall area is larger than before. All that remains is some filling work, and the progress will be very fast.
Speaking of which, the Meijiang Wharf was quite old and looked rather dilapidated. Some people suggested rebuilding the Meijiang Wharf, but most people did not want to spend more money and did not agree to the idea.
After Yang Jian burned down the Meijiang Wharf, those who had proposed rebuilding it were quite pleased. Those who had previously disagreed were forced to reluctantly contribute money in the face of this situation.
After all, the Meijiang Wharf is still very important to the entire Yongkang County.
"Second Young Master, we've already sent some of our men to the abandoned water temple!"
"However, there's nothing special about that place now, probably because those cultists from the Divine Symbol Society swept through it before."
"The area is full of potholes, and the brothers there didn't find anything."
When Jin Rong, the leader of the Meiyu Gang, saw Yang Jian, he quickly ran over and told him about the situation of the abandoned water god temple.
The reason I'm paying attention to this is also related to the old witch doctor.
Yang Jian mentioned that the old sorceress's residence might contain some good things, and asked him to arrange for someone to go and take a look when he had time.
When the Divine Talisman Society was still around, they naturally dared not approach. Now that the Divine Talisman Society is gone, they naturally have to send someone over to take a look.
However, many members of the Meiyu Gang had witnessed the old witch's methods, and most of them dared not go over. It was only in the last few days that they found a brave person who dared to go over.
In the end, all that could be seen was the water temple after it had been swept away, becoming a truly abandoned place.
Upon learning of this, Jin Rong immediately reported it to Yang Jian.
"Well, then there's no need to keep paying attention to the Water God Temple!"
"After things are settled at the dock, come with me to the locust grove near Huayan Temple in the south of the city."
"Let's see what's going on over there."
Yang Jian nodded slightly.
He wasn't surprised by the result.
The old sorceress had fled to the city center because of the Divine Talisman Society. Since the people in the Divine Talisman Society had attacked the old sorceress, they naturally wouldn't let her residence go.
Yang Jian wouldn't be surprised if they dug three feet into the ground there.
Yang Jian was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't been able to obtain the old witch's method of controlling ghosts. If he had such a method, he would have had more ways to deal with ghost-related strange occurrences in the future.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
"Based on the current progress of the dock reconstruction, it should be almost finished in five days at most!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Rong quickly agreed.
Although he didn't know why Yang Jian was so interested in these strange things, he didn't ask any questions. He just followed Yang Jian's instructions and didn't need to cause any trouble.
