Su Yang left the city lord's mansion and went straight to the canal gang without delay.

Upon seeing Su Yang's arrival, Wang Jian immediately stepped forward and bowed to report: "Master, as you instructed, I have been searching far and wide these past few days and have acquired quite a few rare books. We are still searching for information regarding cultivation techniques, and so far we have only... acquired a copy of the *Hundred Herbs and Poisons Classic*, and another copy of the *Green Bag Medical Classic* that leaked from the Imperial Medical Academy..."

"Continue the search."

Su Yang nodded and said, "Let me see the Hundred Herbs Poison Classic and the Green Bag Medical Classic."

He knew it in his heart.

The martial arts techniques of powerful and influential families are all closely guarded secrets. If they could be easily obtained, they wouldn't be secrets anymore; it takes time.

This Qingnang Medical Classic is a good find. His Golden Bell Cover technique requires Golden Bell Medicinal Bath. The better the medicine, the faster his proficiency will increase. Learning this medical classic will be beneficial for preparing decoctions and maximizing his proficiency.

Medicine and martial arts are inseparable; this will come in handy in the future.

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Jian handed the two books to Su Yang, and then said, "In addition, when I was inquiring about the Cold Pool, I unexpectedly learned that there is a natural cold jade bed hidden deep in the backyard of the Green Pine Academy outside the city. It is said to be extremely cold all year round. I wonder if it meets your requirements."

"Green Pine Academy? Jade Bed?"

"If I could get my hands on a Jade Bed, I could gain skill points just by sleeping!"

A glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes. He had already been instructed by Fang Zetao to visit the Qingsong Academy outside the city when he had time. Now that he learned that there was such a treasure there that could help improve one's proficiency, he felt he had to make the trip.

It can also kill two birds with one stone.

"By the way, when will the tiger-masked man contact you next?"

Su Yang, his face covered by a bronze mask, spoke in a low voice.

Wang Jian bowed: "Reporting to Master, he sends someone to the back alley of the Yuelai Inn at midnight on the fifteenth of each month to retrieve a secret letter. But—"

There have been no new instructions since the last visit.

Su Yang: "Report to me immediately next time we contact each other. If he shows up in person—try to keep him there for a while."

Wang Jian hesitated: "Master, the tiger-faced man's martial arts are unfathomable, and he acts in a mysterious way. I'm afraid—"

Su Yang's fingertips swirled with cold air: "You only need to obey orders. If this succeeds, I can grant you a year's reprieve from the Heart-Eating Gu."

"yes!"

Wang Jian's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

North of Jingling City, the canal wharf was bustling with activity, with cargo ships coming and going in an endless stream. The shouts of porters, the calls of boatmen, and the laughter of wandering travelers blended together into a noisy scene.

On the pier by the shore.

Several wandering swordsmen were gathered together, loudly discussing the major events that had recently shaken Jingling. Their voices carried on the wind and attracted many passersby to stop and listen.

"Have you heard? Su Yang, the commander of the Northern City, is a ruthless character! Last night on the city wall, he cleaved Yuwen Zhuo, the 'Ice Hand' of the Yuwen Clan, in two with a single stroke!"

A burly man with a full beard patted the scabbard at his waist, his voice booming, his tone full of amazement.

Another swordsman in blue leaned against a pier of the pier, took a sip of his wine, and continued, "That's not all! I heard that Yuwen Zhuo also brought eight Ice Fiend Guards with him. Those eight were all tough guys who had practiced the Frost Blade Technique, but they were all cut down by Su Yang! It is said that his sword strikes are as fast as lightning, and his sword momentum is incomparably domineering. Yuwen Zhuo's Frost True Qi had no power to resist his sword!"

"Hiss—that's fierce? Isn't Yuwen Zhuo, the Frost Hand, a renowned master who has been famous for many years?"

A traveling merchant carrying a bag stopped in his tracks, gasping in astonishment: "This Su Yang wasn't famous before, how did he suddenly develop such formidable swordsmanship? Even renowned swordsmen in the martial world might not possess such skill!"

The burly man with a thick beard took a large gulp of strong liquor, wiped his mouth, and proudly raised his chin: "Now everyone in the martial world calls him Su Yang, the Northern Cold Overlord Blade! To be able to kill Yuwen Zhuo and rout eight Ice Fiend Guards with a single strike, the title 'Northern Cold Overlord Blade' is practically tailor-made for him, truly well-deserved!"

Not far away at the boarding gate, two figures were preparing to step onto a covered boat.

One of them was dressed in white, with an ethereal air. A light veil covered his face, obscuring his mouth and nose, revealing only his smooth forehead and a pair of eyes that should have been clear as autumn water. He held a jade flute horizontally in his hand and had an ancient sword slung across his back.

Another man, a handsome young man dressed in white, had an exquisite painting tube hanging from his waist and was gently waving a folding fan painted with a picture of a beautiful woman in his hand. Hearing the discussion on the pier, the two men paused in unison.

Upon hearing the discussion about "Northern Frost Overlord Blade" Su Yang, the white-robed youth raised an eyebrow, a slightly skeptical smile playing on his lips. He turned to the white-robed woman beside him and whispered, "Northern Frost Overlord Blade? In hope Bai's opinion, only the legendary Yue Shan was qualified to be called the Overlord Blade. Su Yang is an unknown figure; is he really that strong?"

In his view, although Yuwen Zhuo's Frost Hand was not top-notch, it was by no means easy to deal with. Su Yang was not well-known, and it was unlikely that he could kill Yuwen Zhuo and also take down eight elite Ice Fiend Guards.

It could be a rumor.

The woman in white nodded slightly, her gaze calm, and said softly, "Young Master Hou, it is true. I happened to be passing by last night and witnessed it with my own eyes from the city wall. Su Yang's blade was fast, accurate, and ruthless, its momentum domineering and unparalleled. Yuwen Zhuo's Frost Hand was powerless against his blade and was instantly cleaved in two. The eight Ice Fiend Guards were killed by his throwing knives and hidden weapons."

"Ah? The fairy witnessed it with her own eyes?"

The smile on the young man's face vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised shock.

He knew the woman in white to be a woman of strict character who never spoke falsehoods. Since she had witnessed it herself, the rumors among the martial artists were certainly not fabricated. He paused slightly, a strong curiosity and inquiry flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "This Northern Cold Overlord Blade Su Yang—I'd like to have the chance to meet him someday."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and the woman in white boarded the awning boat together. The boatman then poled the boat away from the bank and slowly sailed into the river.

After returning from the canal gang, Su Yang went straight into a secret room near the city gate.

On the table were two classic books presented by Wang Jian—"The Classic of Poisonous Herbs" and "The Medical Canon of the Green Bag"—as well as a tiger illustration.

The cover of "The Classic of Poisonous Herbs" is yellowed and the paper is thin and brittle, clearly indicating that it is an old copy that has been passed down for many years.

Turning to the inner pages, one finds neat handwriting and detailed records of the properties, origins, toxicity ratios, and preliminary antidotes for over six hundred kinds of poisons.

"Let's put the panel on first."

Su Yang opened the Qingnang Medical Classic. This book was much thicker, with exquisite binding, and the title page was stamped with the vermilion seal of "Collection of the Imperial Medical Academy".

This book is divided into two volumes. The first volume discusses pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, while the second volume contains prescriptions and pharmacology.

.

Although it is not a peerless secret manual, its strength lies in its complete system, covering internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, which is exactly the systematic medical knowledge that Su Yang needs most right now.

【The Hundred Herbs Poisoning Classic (Beginner 0/300)】

【Qingnang Medical Classic (Beginner 0/300)】

Su Yang focused his mind and carefully read both books from beginning to end.

Half an hour later, the panel in my mind started flashing.

[The poison classic "Hundred Herbs Poison Classic" has been detected. Would you like to use 30 simplification points to simplify it?]

[The medical classic "Qing Nang Medical Canon" has been detected. Would you like to use 30 simplification points to simplify it?]

"simplify!"

Su Yang's mind raced, and he simplified the deduction.

[You have consumed 30 Simplification Points to simplify the Hundred Herbs Poison Classic... Simplifying... Simplification successful... Hundred Herbs Poison Classic = Poisoning!]

[You have consumed 30 Simplification Points to simplify the Qingnang Medical Classic... Simplifying... Simplification successful... Qingnang Medical Classic = Pulse Diagnosis!]

"Taking your pulse?"

The panel flickered, and Su Yang looked at the simplified results with a thoughtful expression.

Taking a pulse is simple; can't you just use both hands simultaneously?

With this in mind, Su Yang immediately placed two fingers of his left hand on the pulse of his right hand and silently felt it.

[Qingnang Medical Classic Proficiency +1!]

The moment his finger touched it, the panel in his mind flashed.

"Three pulses, increases proficiency by one point?"

Su Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the panel.

Just then, a soft knock came from outside the secret chamber door, followed by Sun Wang's voice: "General, I have important news to report."

"Enter."

Sun Wang pushed open the door and entered, bowing as he reported: "General, the cold pool at Willow Manor has suddenly surged again for some unknown reason, and is now seventy percent full, with the cold air even more intense than before."

"Oh? The icy pool has re-emerged?"

Su Yang's heart suddenly stirred. The Bright Moon Heart Technique he cultivated required absorbing cold and yin energy to aid in advancement, and the cold energy in the Cold Pool of Willow Manor was pure and refined, making it an excellent aid for cultivation.

Having absorbed all of its energy in the previous instance, it is now seventy percent full, making it the perfect time to absorb more cold energy.

"Prepare the horses!"

Su Yang immediately stood up and strode outside: "Head to Willow Manor immediately!"

Sun Wang dared not delay and quickly followed, turning around to arrange the horses.

Su Yang kept walking, already making plans in his mind: This time, absorbing the cold energy of the cold pool will definitely make Haoyue's Qi Sea more robust. After his strength is improved, he will be more confident whether he is dealing with the tiger-faced man or going to Qingsong Academy.
