A strong medicinal fragrance filled the room.
Wang Chen Opened the lid of the decoction pot and sprinkled a handful of Polygonatum shards into the boiling liquid.
The charcoal fire in the furnace is strong, and these fragments quickly melt away.
Feeling that the cooking heat was almost done, he lifted the pot of decoction and poured the hot liquid into the porcelain bowl next to it.
Just enough for a bowl.
Picking up this bowl of hot medicinal liquid, Wang Chen drank it all in one gulp!
A stream of heat passed through the throat and went straight into the intestines and stomach. The pure medicinal power spread out in Wang Chen's body in an instant, quickly seeping into his internal organs and reaching all his limbs.
Fine crystal beads of sweat oozed from the surface of Wang Chen's skin.
He put down the empty bowl and took a long breath.
Although this bowl of liquid medicine is only enough for Wang Chen, its brewing cost is at least two to three hundred taels of silver.
It's higher than the annual salary of Linjiang County!
During this period of time, Wang Chen drank a bowl of it almost every day.
Being poor in culture and rich in martial arts, it is really difficult for ordinary people to afford the cost of practicing martial arts. High-level Martial Artists are basically purchased with large sums of gold and silver, but even the children of the royal family cannot afford the luxury of Wang Chens.
What he consumes is Ling Family's hundreds of years of accumulation!
But the effect was immediate.
[Potential +1]
An extremely familiar information prompt appeared in Wang Chen's field of vision.
Before he could call out the panel to check, another eye-catching message popped up.
[Upgrade?]
The premonition came true!
The 1 potential point just added brings the total potential points of Wang Chen to almost 1,000 points.
Variables appeared immediately!
Or to be more precise, he now meets the conditions for panel upgrade.
Wang Chen immediately chose to upgrade without any hesitation.
"Ah!"
The next moment, he couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream.
Because of the sudden severe pain, Wang Chen was swallowed up in an instant - from soul to body!
Such a change was something Wang Chen never expected.
He was not prepared at all, and was caught off guard by an unprecedented test.
This kind of pain was extremely severe, as if countless steel needles were inserted into Wang Chen's head and body at the same time, and every inch of his muscles and bones were pierced.
The most terrifying thing is that these "steel needles" are red-hot and stir at different angles after being inserted!
With Wang Chen's strong will, he couldn't help but lose his composure on the spot.
The only thing he could do was to try his best to suppress his screams, then grab something and bite it in his mouth.
Click!
The medicine bowl that was just put into the mouth was bitten into pieces by Wang Chen!
Sharp fragments pierced the lips and mouth, and bright red blood suddenly gurgled out.
But this pain is nothing compared to what Wang Chen is enduring!
He fell to the ground, curled up, his limbs twitching continuously, and his whole body was covered in sweat, which quickly soaked his clothes.
pain! pain! pain!
Wang Chen It hurt so much that my whole body was numb, my eyes were filled with stars, my head was buzzing!
He didn't know how he persisted, nor did he know how long he struggled on the ground. It wasn't until the pain that made people want to die on the spot slowly subsided that his consciousness gradually returned.
After lying on the ground for nearly another stick of incense, Wang Chen finally got up reluctantly.
His clothes were completely soaked with blood and sweat, a thick layer of dirt adhered to his skin, and emitted a very unpleasant smell. All the hair on his body, including his hair, had fallen out!
But at this moment, Wang Chen feels more relaxed than ever before, as if a huge burden has been lifted away.
He breathed out the panel.
[Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)]
[Age: 16]
[Cultivation: Military General]
[Exercise method: Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels (Swallowing Thief Wheel): 126/400]
[Potential: 0]
[Luck: 3]
After spending 1,000 potential points and experiencing unprecedented pain, Wang Chen had one more item on its panel.
Good luck!
As for the function of this "luck" and how to increase it, Wang Chen has no idea. Obviously, he still needs to explore and explore it himself, which feels a bit disadvantageous.
However, intuition tells Wang Chen that this luck value is definitely a more important and powerful attribute than potential!
Then Wang Chen discovered that this "luck" could actually be used or consumed.
Since the points were too few, he did not act rashly. Once he figured out how to increase the points, it would not be too late to study their uses.
After all, Wang Chen still understands the meaning of the word "luck", and of course he cannot squander it casually.
At this time, he regained some strength and went to take a bath first.
After washing away all the dirt, blood, and sweat, and then putting on a set of clean clothes, Wang Chen felt like he was alive again.
Moreover, his condition has never been better, especially his mental consciousness, which is exceptionally sharp and clear.
Although there is no slight increase in cultivation level, Wang Chen feels that the current self can 100% beat the self before the panel upgrade!
It is similar to Yijin, cleansing the marrow and reborn!
Intrigued, he immediately went to the small courtyard outside the room, took out Seven Feather Spear and started practicing Prairie Fire Spear Technique.
After practicing a few moves, Wang Chen realized that his strength had grown by leaps and bounds.
His understanding of the essence of this marksmanship actually made terrible progress within these few moves. Even if the power of the Sha Wheel was not activated, the spear tip exploded with energy as it shook, and a fierce killing intention spurted out.
After practicing Nine Prairie Fire Strikes, Wang Chen's marksmanship has reached a new level!
Bang bang!
At this moment, someone knocked on the courtyard door. "Master Ling, Mr. Pang Qi, please come over now and discuss important matters!"
Pang Tai?
Wang Chen stared hard and replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away!"
He put away Seven Feather Spear, fetched Blood-Clad Guard waist tag, Wild Goose Feather Saber and other items and hung them up, then went out and rushed to the guardhouse.
In order to facilitate daily martial arts practice, Wang Chen moved out of the guard dormitory early and rented a house not far away.
Due to the short distance, Wang Chen arrived at the guard station quickly without riding a horse.
I saw Pang Tai in the lobby.
"Guard Ling Zhiyuan, I have seen the giant man!"
Wang Chen noticed that in addition to the general flag Pang Tai, there was another man with a resolute look in the hall.
The latter was looking at him with interest.
"No need to be polite."
Just listen to Pang Tai say, "Ling Zhiyuan, let me introduce to you, this is Captain Xue from Fucheng!"
Wang Chen quickly saluted the other party. "I've seen Captain Xue!"
Captain Xue waved his hand and said with a smile, "Iron Furnace Camp is worthy of being the leader of the new students. He is indeed the best among people. Ling Zhiyuan, do you know why Mr. Pang Qi called you here?"
Wang Chen felt something in his heart and had some faint guesses.
But he was still at a loss on the surface. "I don't know, please make it clear."
"Of course it's a good thing!"
Pang Tai smiled and said, "Captain Xue and I have already agreed to report to the city to ask for credit. You will soon be Linjiang Guard Post's new flag!"
