From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 74 Resources
In the bedroom.

Jiang Chen was sorting out the "Hibernating Dragon Power" he had just obtained from the Dragon and Tiger Dao.

Compared with the "Subduing Tiger Stick Technique", it also requires the practice of stick techniques and moves to comprehend the Ming Jin.

The dark power martial arts do not require repeating the previous process.

On the one hand, there is no difference in weapons. On the other hand, warriors who have reached this stage are already familiar with the ordinary moves and can directly practice the "dark energy" force techniques.

Jiang Chen reviewed this martial art and after making sure that nothing was missed, he walked out of the bedroom door and came to the open space in the middle of the inner courtyard.

Compared to the narrow courtyard where Jiang Chen lived before, the courtyard of the Shuiqingfang government office seemed much larger.

It is nearly eighty feet long and nearly five feet wide. In addition to an open space for practicing martial arts, the courtyard is decorated with rockery, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees, making it look picturesque.

Jiang Chen stood in the middle of the open space and began to practice "Sleeping Dragon Power".

Holding the iron demon-subduing stick in both hands and slightly spreading his legs, with each breath he took, the blood flowed smoothly through the meridians of his body, making Jiang Chen's perception of every tendon and joint in his body more and more clear.

The hands holding the iron demon-subduing stick moved slowly, and the muscles were relaxed as much as possible. Only through the blood and tendons, the power was stimulated little by little, and every force technique of "Zhelong Jin" was displayed.

Jiang Chen's entire body seemed to be in slow motion, moving slowly.

The hidden power cannot be spread throughout the body overnight; it naturally starts from the arm tendons that warriors are most familiar with.

Time passes.

Half an hour later.

A mysterious force different from the normal force gradually emerged in the tendons of Jiang Chen's arms, like a tiny dragon swimming in his arms.

At this time.

A new line of text suddenly appeared on the panel.

[Dark Power: Entry (1/1000)]

Got it!

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued to control the hidden power in his arms and continued to exert force.

Jiang Chen performed various difficult and strange movements, and his hands seemed to turn into a wandering dragon.

[Dark Power Experience +1]

……

Time passes slowly.

As the hidden energy moved, the soreness in the arm meridians continued to accumulate.

An hour later, the pain in his arms completely accumulated to a limit, and Jiang Chen could not help but slowly stop practicing "Zhelong Jin".

"call……"

Jiang Chen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the panel and took a look.

[Dark Power: Entry (8/1000)]

Is it only eight o'clock?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

My current talent should be much better than that of ordinary people.

But even so, with the help of the panel, the practice speed is only eight points per hour.

It seems that the difficulty of practicing this "Hibernating Dragon Power" is indeed much higher than ordinary dark power martial arts.

According to this progress, it would take him about four months to cultivate the "Zhelong Jin" to the minor success stage.

a little slow.

Jiang Chen began to sort out some of the elixirs recorded in "Zhelong Jin" that aid in spiritual practice.

The inherited memories record three prescriptions for assisting in the practice of Zhelong Jin.

But the medicinal materials on it all look very valuable...

Moreover, price is only one factor. I still have more than two thousand taels on me, so I should be able to afford it for a while.

He was more worried about

Some medicinal herbs cannot be bought in Yanyang City.

Jiang Chen pondered for a while, then went to Ping'an Pharmacy and took a walk around Wanqing Pharmacy in the inner city.

As expected, some high-grade medicinal materials were in short supply and were not sold in Yanyang City. In other words, even if they were available, they were monopolized by the three Yanyang sects.

It is estimated that he will only have the opportunity to obtain these medicinal herbs after he enters the inner sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

As for now, he searched the pharmacies in the inner and outer cities, and finally only found a medicine with low efficacy - Bishui Yangjin Powder.

However, the most effective medicine recorded in "Zhelong Jin", "Jade Marrow Shengjin Liquid", is still missing several rare medicines.

But even though this is the medicine with the lowest price and efficacy recorded in "Zhelong Jin", the price of this "Bishui Yangjin San" has reached ten taels of silver.

Taking it into account the daily cost of practice, Jiang Chen now spends about twenty taels of silver a day.

The two thousand taels of silver on me can only support me for three months...

"Let's try it first..."

Jiang Chen was somewhat helpless, but he could only try and see the effect.

Then the preparation of medicines began.

Over the past six months, Jiang Chen has been preparing medicines every day, and his [Pharmaceuticals] skill has almost reached the third level.

After a while.

Jiang Chen finished preparing the "Green Water Nourishing Muscles Powder".

The liquid in the medicine jar is emerald green in color, and a faint fragrance emanates from it.

Jiang Chen swallowed the drop of liquid directly into his mouth.

The cool liquid dropped into his stomach and quickly merged into his blood.

Jiang Chen immediately stimulated his own qi and blood, sending the medicinal power to his arms, warming the tendons in his arms.

Jiang Chen then walked out of the bedroom again and began to practice "Sleeping Dragon Power".

About a quarter of an hour later, he stopped again.

Although this medicine is called "Nourish the Tendons", it does not extend the daily practice time of "Zhelong Jin", but improves the efficiency of liver experience.

It rose from eight o'clock in the previous hour to eleven o'clock in the hour.

At this rate, it would take about three months to break through the "Zhelong Jin" to the minor success level. The improvement in efficiency is obviously not high.

It is foreseeable that it will be even more difficult to break through to great success or perfection in the future.

And it’s not just this “hibernating dragon power”.

After the [Liu Jin] level has broken through to the great success, even with the addition of "Dragon Jin Powder", the efficiency of gaining experience per hour has dropped to eight points.

Sixteen o'clock a day, it would take two months to break through to perfection.

Although this speed is considered rapid progress for other warriors.

But for Jiang Chen, who plans to participate in the Dragon Elephant Sect's Doukuai competition next year, it is still a bit slow.

Whether it is martial arts cultivation or dark energy martial arts, he needs more resources to assist in improvement.

“Resources, resources…”

Jiang Chen returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips, wondering in his mind how to get high-level medicinal materials.

The three Yanyang sects almost monopolized the rare medicinal materials in the city.

If you want to get these medicinal materials through normal channels, you can only enter the inner gate first.

I heard that there is a merit system in the inner sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and various resources can be exchanged through the merits of the sect.

But this will happen after he reaches the level of Iron Bone.

"Looking for Fu Wen?"

This thought popped up in Jiang Chen's mind, but he immediately suppressed it.

Even if someone could get me high-level medicinal materials, I probably wouldn't have enough money to support the long-term purchase of these high-level medicinal materials, and I could only ask Fu Wen to pay for it for me.

Asking others to work hard and spend money, even if you have a good relationship with them, they can't stand such a consumption.

“Who has the resources…?”

Jiang Chen tapped the table with his fingertips, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If I can’t buy it in the inner city, I can steal it from the medicinal fields in the outer city…
