Chapter 72 Uninvited Guest
"No need to change anything for now, the medicine is working perfectly."
Li Xin put away the Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg Spear, exhaled a breath of hot air to calm his blood and qi, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
He focused his mind and realized that his condition had improved significantly.
Name: Li Xin
Age: 12/74
[Constitution: 21.6] Talent: (Critical Strike)
[Agility: 21.1] Talent: (Light and Agile)
[Spirit: 21.4] Talent: (Psychic)
[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, the Third Prince, Divine Intent Level 1, 68%, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Void Reflection.)]
(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 1, 4%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body.)
(The Monkey King, Divine Will Level 1, 2%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light.)
[Confidence: 0.9]
Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.
……
My lifespan hasn't changed, and my actual physical age is 13 in a few months, so it's not worth worrying about.
The key point is that the improvement in physical fitness is quite significant.
After century-old ginseng and century-old Ganoderma lucidum are used in medicine.
Li Xin discovered that he could digest two doses of herbal medicine every day as usual, and each dose of herbal medicine could increase his [physical constitution] by about 0.25.
It can increase your [Constitution] by about 0.5 per day.
At the same time, the body's internal Qi and blood change every day.
From a small stream to a canal, and from a small canal to a large canal.
Qi rises, vital energy is abundant, blood flows faster, and the heart beats more powerfully...
Moreover, he discovered that with the consumption of Yangyuan Tang, his agility was also improving at a rate of 0.3 per day.
Even his mental strength improved by 0.1 every day.
This is practically a complete evolution of the body.
The improvement in mental strength, in particular, was an unexpected bonus.
Since awakening his innate wisdom, his spiritual power has not increased much.
Aside from practicing boxing and regulating qi and blood every day, which causes some fluctuations in my mental state, the rest of the time feels like I'm locked up, with no hope of improvement in sight.
This nourishing soup can comprehensively improve one's physical and mental well-being, which is truly rare.
Master Cheng Yuanhua passed down this prescription without any reservations, which shows his magnanimity.
Of course, the reason it's so effective is undeniable; you get what you pay for. The two century-old medicinal herbs deserve immense credit.
Of course, the main function of this medicinal soup is to improve physical condition.
"From now on, using drugs to improve physical constitution and using faith power to improve agility and spirit will be the most cost-effective option."
Yes, Li Xin's [Spirit] attribute reached 21.4 because of the 0.1 increase from taking medicine every day.
The most significant improvement came from the two points of trust he gained from Li Xiaowan and his aunt.
This time, he added it to the [Spirit] attribute.
"This has been definitively proven that mental strength is extremely useful in increasing combat power."
After my mental level improved by 1.4, I could more clearly sense the generation of Qi and blood and the circulation of strength. Consequently, I gained a deeper understanding of body control and the activation of power.
"In particular, the increased speed of my neural reactions makes me faster in my movements and gives me better dynamic vision. In terms of actual combat, this is an extremely significant improvement."
Li Xin understood.
Stand still, take a few steps forward, and use [Critical Strike] again.
After punching more than ten times, until all the muscles and bones in my body were slightly sore, I switched to controlling my qi and blood.
Circulate the ripples and slowly push your palm forward.
After a long silence, he finally let out a long breath and slowly spoke: "Hongxiu, how many more doses of this precious medicine can these two doses last?"
"With the current dosage, it can make 12 doses."
That's six days.
Zhuang Hongxiu's eyes were filled with amazement.
She had never seen or even heard of anyone increasing their physical strength so quickly.
One day of practice is equivalent to several months to half a year of practice for others.
Growing taller and stronger after a nap is faster than raising pigs.
"Um?"
Li Xin gave Zhuang Hongxiu a strange look, feeling that his little maid was having some disrespectful thoughts.
Could it be that seeing her increasingly full muscles and defined abs has given her some inappropriate thoughts?
"Ahem, young master, have you noticed? You've grown taller again today!"
Zhuang Hongxiu blushed, quickly composed herself, and said in a serious tone.
"That's true, we have to change our clothes again. It's mainly because the Nourishing Essence Soup is so effective."
Li Xin straightened up and compared his body to the others.
It was discovered that Zhuang Hongxiu, who was originally well-proportioned and 1.65 meters tall, now only reached her nose.
My height should be around 1.7 meters.
"The Cheng Family Bagua has such a good prescription, and the Cheng family isn't exactly short of money, so why doesn't my Senior Sister Feiyan train her muscles and physique to the extreme?"
Thinking of Wang Jingya from Yuanshun Escort Agency, and then of Cheng Feiyan from his own Cheng Family Martial Arts School, Li Xin was slightly puzzled.
Those who practice martial arts value physical strength the most.
The greater one's strength, the greater one's martial arts skills.
This is the foundation for survival and self-preservation.
Zhuang Hongxiu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Young Master is blinded by a leaf and cannot see Mount Tai."
Your constitution is strong and your natural strength is innate; your body can withstand the impact of such medicine.
However, other martial arts practitioners are completely different.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of melancholy crossed her eyes.
He was clearly recalling the scene when he first practiced standing meditation to lay the foundation: "Ordinary martial artists, let alone absorb this dose of nourishing essence soup."
Even if the dosage is reduced to 30%, no, 10%, it's still too much to handle. Taking it rashly will not only be useless, but will actually be harmful.
The most likely scenario is that after drinking a mouthful of the medicinal soup, a nosebleed will spurt out.
Moreover, even if the body doesn't experience any problems at the time, the medicinal effects will be released during martial arts practice, leaving only a fraction of the original amount to be absorbed.
"I see."
With that, Li Xin understood.
The phrase "the body cannot tolerate tonics" has never been limited to referring to medication for patients.
If one's physical condition is not strong enough, medication should not be used indiscriminately.
But by the time their bodies are strong enough to withstand the effects of the medicine, their skeletal structure and tendons have already grown and solidified.
This is a misconception.
During the period of most people's fastest growth before the age of sixteen, they do not dare to engage in intensive physical training. Instead, they usually train attributes such as combat instincts, physical agility, and nerve reflexes.
This is an important foundational skill for martial artists.
It's not entirely impossible to train your strength and body.
However, during the physical development stage, excessive training can easily lead to physical deformities.
Even if it's not deformed, there will definitely be hidden injuries.
At this time, their physical condition was not very strong, and they could not withstand such powerful tonics.
But we should wait until they have fully grown up and their physique has improved before using the medicine.
However, they have already passed their growth period, so the effects of the medication are no longer as noticeable.
And what about yourself?
It's completely different.
I did not forcibly refine my body, and my body did not undergo a process of destruction and reconstruction.
However, due to the existence of the confidence point.
It's like practicing without actually practicing...
[Physical Condition] It is continuously improved, reaching a foundation that is two or even three times stronger than that of an ordinary person.
To others, the Nourishing Essence Soup is half tonic and half poison.
For oneself, it is all benefit.
Not only can it be fully absorbed, but it can also accelerate growth.
Because he has always been in his growth period.
Zhuang Hongxiu's voice drifted over: "Therefore, children with strong innate constitutions are a gift from heaven and have all the advantages."
Like Wang Jingya of Yuanshun Escort Agency, after she came of age, her arms could swing with a force of over 800 jin (approximately 400 catties), earning her the nickname "Yuanshun's Female Tiger," which wasn't just empty praise from outsiders.
"That hard?"
Tsk tsk.
Li Xin's eyes flickered slightly, sensing the envy in Zhuang Hongxiu's words.
No wonder she was envious.
Eight hundred jin of basic strength doesn't seem too impressive. But when converted to the [Constitution] attribute, it's a whopping 27 points.
This doesn't even take into account her explosive power of muscles and bones and the flow of qi and blood.
Even when she unleashes her full power, her [hardness] has barely reached the level of mastery and has not yet reached the peak of hardness, yet it can still increase her lethality by 70% to 80%.
In other words, when she attacks with all her might, at the peak of her power, each move can deliver an attack of 1,300 to 1,400 pounds.
Its attack power was no less than that of Zhang Yuanhao, whom it had killed.
With her family's Six Harmonies Broadsword, as long as her martial arts skills are decent, she would be a formidable opponent in the martial arts world.
No wonder they can make a name for themselves as "Yuanshun the Female Tiger".
As for Senior Sister Cheng Feiyan, she probably has a special talent in [agility].
Whether he can reach 20 points in strength is still a big question.
Therefore, it is remarkable that I was able to improve my physical condition, agility, and mental state to this level at the age of twelve or thirteen.
To the average person, this is simply unbelievable.
"My body can still handle the medication; I take two doses a day without stopping."
Li Xin gave an order, then remembered something else: "Have Yang Feng and Dong Zhu made any progress in inquiring about the various princely residences these past few days?"
"Yang Feng is indeed meticulous, and now he has his sights set on Prince Yi's residence."
His stepson, Yuji, had close ties with Qi Yunfang of Yong'an Hall. Furthermore, this man used the pseudonym Daxueshan and addressed the monk Jinzhong as a fellow disciple, making him the prime suspect...
Also, Fang Qiao'er, along with Luo Xiaohu, have been following Wang Jingya these past few days.
No one suspected the two children, and finally, they found some useful information.
"Have you found out the reason for the conflict between Wang Jingya and the Tongxing bodyguards?"
The old man with the black iron rod that Li Xin killed that day, he later learned that the old man was an old镖师 (bodyguard/escort) from Tongxing, who was on duty as a bodyguard for the Qi family of Xin'an Hall.
With the intention of not letting go of any clue, Li Xin sent people to investigate along this line.
Surprisingly, Wang Jingya had somehow gotten into a fight with the Tongxing镖师 (bodyguards) outside the city.
Both sides sustained injuries and argued their own point of view, with one saying I was wrong and the other saying I committed a foul.
"We've found out. Tongxing Escort Agency accepted the undercover escort mission, among which..."
Just as he finished speaking, Li Xin's eyebrows twitched, and the long spear he held level suddenly trembled slightly in an arc...
He picked up a pebble the size of a goose egg from the yard.
flutter……
The stone emitted a low, muffled whistle and shot towards the corner of the wall.
There stood a man in a straw hat, leaping over the courtyard wall. He carried a gleaming longsword and came running.
