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 was raging, and these fragments quickly melted 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.
Wang Chen picked up the bowl of hot medicinal liquid and 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.
Even though this bowl of liquid medicine is only enough for Wang Chen to make a mouthful of it, its brewing cost is at least two to three hundred taels of silver.
It’s higher than the annual salary of Linjiang County Magistrate!
During this period of time, Wang Chen drank a bowl of it almost every day.
Poor in literature 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 made with large sums of gold and silver. However, even the children of the royal family cannot afford Wang Chen's luxury.
.
What he is consuming is the 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 point of potential value just added brought Wang Chen's total potential points to almost 1,000 points.
Variables appeared immediately!
Or to be more precise, he now meets the conditions for panel upgrade.
Wang Chen didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to upgrade.
"ah!"
The next moment, he couldn't help but let out a heartbreaking scream.
Because of the sudden severe pain, Wang Chen's whole body was swallowed up in an instant - from his soul to his 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.
The pain was so severe that it was 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 he just put into his 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.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
Wang Chen was so painful that his whole body was numb, his eyes were filled with stars and his 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 him 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 reluctantly got up.
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 felt more relaxed than ever before, as if a huge burden had been lifted away.
After spending 1,000 points of potential and experiencing unprecedented pain, Wang Chen had one more item on his panel.
Luck!
As for the function of this "luck" and how to increase it, Wang Chen didn't know. Obviously, he still needed to explore and explore it himself, which felt a bit lacking.
However, Wang Chen's 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 the dirt, blood, and sweat, and then putting on a set of clean clothes, Wang Chen felt like he was alive again.
Moreover, my condition has never been better, especially my mental consciousness, which is extremely sharp and clear.
Although his cultivation level has not increased at all, Wang Chen feels that his current self is 100% able to beat himself before the panel upgrade!
Similar to Yijin Marrow Cleansing, reborn!
Intrigued, he immediately went to the small courtyard outside the room, took out the Seven Feathers Spear and began to practice the prairie fire marksmanship.
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 without activating the power of the Sha Wheel, the spear tip exploded with aura as it flicked, and a fierce killing intention spurted out.
out.
After practicing the Nine Strikes of Starting a Prairie Fire, Wang Chen's marksmanship has reached a new level!
Snap!
At this time, someone knocked on the courtyard door: "Master Ling, Mr. Pang Qi, please come over now and discuss important matters!"
Ponte?
Wang Chen's eyes narrowed and he replied: "Okay, I'll be there right away!"
He put away the seven-feather gun, fetched the blood-clothed guard's waist badge, the wild goose-feather knife and other items and hung them up, then went out and rushed to the guard house.
In order to facilitate his 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 didn't even need to ride a horse and arrived at the guardhouse very quickly.
I saw Ponte in the hall.
"Guard Ling Zhiyuan has seen Panda Man!"
Wang Chen noticed that in addition to the general flag Pang Tai, there was another man with a resolute expression 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 Mr. Xue Qi from Fucheng!"
Wang Chen quickly saluted the other party: "I've met Mr. Xue Qi!"
General Xue Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the leader of the new students in Iron Furnace Camp. You are indeed the best among men. Ling Zhiyuan, do you know why General Manager Pang Qi called you here?"
Wang Chen's heart moved, and he had some vague 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: "General Xue Qi and I have already agreed to report to Fucheng to ask for your credit. You will soon be the new Xiaoqi of Linjiang Guards!"
