This bathhouse did not have a unified management area, so one had to put their clothes in the bamboo basket in front of them and watch over them, otherwise they might be easily stolen.
At this time, Chen Jie was soaking in the pool, washing off the scent of women from his body.
Meanwhile, he calmed himself down, recalling today’s events, which indeed were quite bizarre. He went out to find a secret manual, but ended up being compelled by a crazy beauty to sleep for a while, and he even obtained a prescription for Energy Transformation.
Who would believe this if he told them?
It sounded like a made-up story.
Who would be so foolish as to give both their body and a prescription?
Sitting in the pool, Chen Jie pondered for a long time but still could not figure out what this woman was thinking; she just seemed a bit abnormal.
But getting the prescription was real, and he had also acquired the "Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms."
It was not a wasted trip.
Not bad at all, the secret manual that everyone in All Mianshui County was looking for had unexpectedly fallen into his hands.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie’s hand involuntarily began to slide through the water.
As Chen Jie’s hand moved, he felt the water in the pool gathering towards him, and he even heard a sound similar to a dragon’s hum.
At that moment, as he circulated the palm power of the "Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms," the surrounding water gathered faster and faster, and the whole pool seemed to whip up waves and currents surged.
Just then, a staff walking by saw this.
His eyes nearly popped out, my goodness!
He then saw the pool in turmoil, as if there was an undercurrent. He stared wide-eyed, completely shocked.
And at that moment, when he looked at Chen Jie again, he saw Chen Jie’s hand creating a whirlpool, attracting the surrounding water, which spun faster and faster, eventually forming a tornado that rose from the pool.
"Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness!"
Chen Jie raised his palm, and the inner strength of the Yang Chun Skill inside his body was wildly drawn out, but just as the tornado rose more than half a meter.
With a smack, it dispersed.
Water splashed back onto the surface, causing countless splashes, and the pool calmed down amidst the waves.
Chen Jie looked at the dispersed water tornado and shook his head; the "Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms," although powerful, also had a threshold, and it was not low; it seemed that only Energy Transformation could unleash its power.
Using it within the Iron Bone Realm, he could only execute it halfway before his strength was drained, and his Yang Chun Skill was nearly depleted.
The Dragon Capturing Palms seemed like a high-consumption car.
Powerful, but also a heavy fuel consumer.
Clearly, his own fuel tank was too small, not enough to let it run a complete circuit.
However, the Dragon Capturing Palms was somewhat similar to the "Stone Breaking Hand"; both used a powerful approach, and he could try to operate the "Stone Breaking Hand" based on the martial principle of Dragon Capturing Palms.
This felt like a novice seeking guidance from an expert.
Although he couldn’t learn everything to perfection, there were similarities between the two, and if he could integrate the similarities of Dragon Capturing Palms and Stone Breaking Hand.
Then his Stone Breaking Hand could reach a new level.
And thus outshine the original.
As for the Dragon Capturing Palms, learning it was possible, but he couldn’t boldly use it; there were major consequences involved.
But once learned, it could act as a killing move, which during a life-or-death struggle could be used opportunistically to lay the foundation for victory.
Thus thought Chen Jie, not noticing that his actions had completely astonished the staff.
The staff hurried to find the Shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper, you better come take a look."
"What’s up, what’s up?"
"That man, that man just rolled up the water , then three feet off the ground, bam, it exploded, really scary, the water in the pool seemed like it was about to boil, snap, snap, snap~"
The staff gesticulated and described.
Leaving the Shopkeeper bewildered.
"Can’t make heads or tails of it, you better go and see, Shopkeeper."
The Shopkeeper immediately followed him into the bathing area.
Then he saw Chen Jie leaning comfortably against the pool, looking at the Shopkeeper and saying, "Something’s up."
"No, no problem, just checking if the water temperature is comfortable for you?"
Chen Jie nodded, "It’s decent."
After speaking, the Shopkeeper said, "Call me if you need anything."
"Oh, right, do you have deluxe rooms? I need one."
The Shopkeeper replied, "Yes, yes."
Saying this, he went directly to arrange the room, leaving the bathing area and saying, "Well, there’s nothing much."
The staff said, "Just now, it was like that."
The Shopkeeper said, "Shh, forget about it, look at that demeanor, must be a Hero of the River, skilled in kung fu, best not to provoke."
"Serve him well, don’t neglect him."
"Understood, Shopkeeper," replied the staff.
"Alright, get back to what you were doing," instructed the Shopkeeper.
After taking a bath, Chen Jie got dressed and went upstairs to sleep.
Today had indeed been exhausting, and the bath was quite soothing.
Thus, the night passed quietly, and the next day, Chen Jie awoke to several pieces of information.
Though none were particularly important, one caught Chen Jie’s interest. It told of how the old beggar and Master Jingxiang knew each other. When they were young, the Emei Sect had descended the mountain to handle affairs and had approached the Beggar Sect for information. The two they dealt with at that time were the old beggar and Master Jingxiang.
And when Master Jingxiang once broke the disciplinary rules and was expelled from the Emei Sect, her first thought was also of Mianshui County; there was a story there.
