Chapter 22 Extra Points
A silver note of one hundred and fifty taels, and a ginseng that emitted a faint purple light.
"Purple Mountain Ginseng? And it's fifty-year-old Purple Mountain Ginseng!! This martial artist who has broken through limits has actually risked everything he owns?"
Chen Ran felt a surge of joy.
He never expected that killing an elite monster would result in such a huge loot drop.
It's not that fifty-year-old Zishan ginseng is particularly rare.
Rather, the Zishan ginseng is produced in Youzhou, which is very far from here.
Even the largest pharmacy in the outer city only has Zishan ginseng that is twenty or thirty years old.
Moreover, and most importantly, this Purple Mountain Ginseng is one of the three main ingredients in the prescription given by Zhou Changfeng.
That powerful medicine can speed up the process of refining qi and blood.
This plant is so big, it's enough for a month's supply.
"I was thinking of trying my luck with the canal gangs, but it seems I don't need to anymore."
Then, Chen Ran took out a silver note from his sleeve.
Fifty taels.
This money was given to him by Steward Wang in an attempt to ease tensions.
With the five taels of gold notes and the spoils of war, Chen Ran now has more than two hundred taels of silver on him.
This batch of silver relieved his immediate crisis.
Put the things away properly.
A blue light flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.
A panel appeared in front of him.
Name: Chen Ran
Age: 18/80
[Realm: Blood Refining Level 1]
[Skills: Transporting (Minor Mastery); Tongbei Stance (Minor Mastery) △; Tongbei Fist (Minor Mastery); Giant Ape Limit Breaking Technique (Beginner)]
[Talent: None]
[Blue Seal: 0]
[Red Seal: 1]
Look at the "△" that appears on the panel.
Chen Ran was taken aback.
What does this mean?
For now, this symbol is only found on the back of the Tongbei Pile.
Since that's the case, there's not much to consider.
As Chen Ran's thoughts shifted.
The red stamp changed from "1" to "0".
at the same time.
The Tongbei Stake began to become blurry.
half an hour.
[Skill: Tongbei Stance (Mastery)]
What was originally a minor achievement of Tongbei Zhuang has become a major achievement.
A series of thoughts about practicing the Tongbei stance kept surfacing in Chen Ran's mind.
Chen Ran slowly opened his eyes.
Once inside the courtyard, he began practicing the Tongbei stance from memory.
The moment you activate the Tongbei stance, it's as if you've practiced it hundreds of times.
It was so practiced it seemed like an instinct.
Streams of vital energy surged from Chen Ran's body.
Although very few.
But you can still feel it.
This surprised and delighted Chen Ran.
After the limits are broken, the effect of Tongbei Zhuang (a type of exercise) can be said to be negligible.
This time, I received such a big improvement.
It was obviously because of that little red mark.
"Blue seals increase Qi and Blood, while red seals directly add points—this is absolutely fantastic!!!"
After confirming its authenticity, Chen Ran was overjoyed.
Unfortunately, hunting monsters is too risky.
Chen Ran currently lacks both the ability and the intention.
………….
The next day, just as dawn broke, Chen Ran went to the pharmacy first.
They spent a fortune to buy a month's worth of secret medicine ingredients and some herbs for concocting poisons.
The two main medicines, both aged fifty years, cost Chen Ran a full one hundred taels.
It made him feel sorry for half a day.
Next, we arrived at the Meng residence.
Meng Sheng got completely drunk last night and is still sleeping.
Chen Ran didn't bother him, but instead took his own bear meat back.
On his way back, Chen Ran saw several men dressed as constables pulling a cart from the alley, carrying a corpse out.
There were five corpses on the cart, including the ones that had just been pulled up.
"Pah, you poor bastard."
The constables conducted a straightforward body search, found nothing of value, cursed, and then pushed the cart to the next location.
The pedestrians around were clearly used to this kind of thing.
They didn't stop and continued doing what they were doing.
After watching for a while, Chen Ran took the bear meat and headed towards Rat Street.
With the bear meat and secret medicine at his disposal, Chen Ran began his ascetic lifestyle.
During the day, he used the flesh of demonic beasts and secret medicines to temper his body, and occasionally went to the Meng residence to spar with Meng Sheng.
At night, they would combine medicinal herbs and begin preparing poisons.
Once the Tongbei stance is mastered, it can also provide a small amount of Qi and blood energy, only slightly less than the current Giant Ape Limit Breaking Technique.
He practices two methods every day, which makes his qi and blood cultivation slightly faster than before.
In such a high-intensity and disciplined learning and training program and physical fitness improvement.
Chen Ran's body was becoming increasingly robust at a visible rate.
Meanwhile, the blue energy bar is already half full as it continues to receive nutrients.
After the red seal was consumed, Chen Ran tried to swallow the blood of a demon beast, but it had no effect.
It's as if what it absorbs isn't blood, but something deeper.
This also made Chen Ran give up his plan to continue drinking the blood of the demon beasts.
In such a time, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Knock knock knock!!!"
Chen Ran, who was working in a daze, constantly mixing poisons and sporting dark circles under his eyes, was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Chen Ran was puzzled, put down the poison pill in his hand, and opened the door.
Under the glaring sunlight, Chen Ran realized that it was already afternoon.
Open the door.
"Have you grown taller again? Did the bear meat help you grow even taller? Is bear meat really that nourishing?"
Looking at Chen Ran, who was already 1.8 meters tall and had a muscular and robust physique, Meng Sheng was somewhat surprised.
"Senior Brother Meng, what brings you here today?"
Chen Ran subtly changed the subject.
"Hey, today is the day of the martial arts competition, hurry up and get ready."
Even if we don't go up to compete, we still want to be there to support our master.
"Then I'll tidy up."
After a while, Chen Ran came out wearing an obviously ill-fitting short outfit.
"Your clothes? Never mind, we still have some time, come with me."
With that, he led Chen Ran out of Rat Street.
Soon, the two arrived at a luxurious silk shop.
This is Ji's Silk Shop, the largest silk shop in the entire southern district.
They sell not only silk but also ready-made clothing.
However, the prices were high, and those who frequented the business were mostly young masters and ladies from wealthy families.
"Yan'er, do you have any clothes that my brother wears? Get him a piece, quick."
Upon entering the silk shop, Meng Sheng immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this sound, several people who were selecting fabrics in the silk shop turned their heads to look.
"What's all this noise? Who do we have here? It's the third son of the Meng family."
A mocking voice came from the inner room.
Upon hearing this voice, Meng Sheng frowned.
Three figures slowly walked out from the inner hall.
One man and two women.
The man was handsome and dashing, dressed in fine clothes, but his face was full of disdain and arrogance.
Both women were dressed in palace attire; one was mature and alluring, the other pure and lovely.
"Sun Wuji? You're actually here?"
When he saw the person come out, Meng Sheng's face was full of disgust.
The atmosphere inside the venue instantly became tense.
Clearly, the two did not get along.
Chen Ran, standing to the side, also noticed Meng Sheng's unease.
"Oh dear, what's wrong?"
Just as the tension between the two was escalating.
From behind the courtyard, a sweet and charming voice drifted over.
Soon, a beautiful woman in palace attire came out.
"Young Master Sun, Young Master Meng, what's wrong? You two are honored guests. If there's anything you need, please tell me."
Ji Yan'er came to Sun Wuji with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.
"Hehe, I'll give Yan'er some face today and not bother with someone like you. Let's go."
Sun Wuji stroked Ji Yan'er's chin, then slowly left with the two women beside him.
They completely ignored Meng Sheng, who looked disgusted.
"Young Master Meng, please don't be angry. Here, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
After seeing Sun Wuji off, Ji Yan'er turned to look at Meng Sheng.
"Get my brother a decent piece of clothing."
