I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 10 Quadruple Power

Next to the thatched hut, a clay pot on the stove was bubbling with steam.

A strong smell of herbs wafted through the courtyard.

Zhang Yuan, who was standing in front of the stove, saw that the medicine was almost cooked. He reached out, grabbed the handle of the jar, and lifted it up, then poured the dark medicine juice in the jar into the bowl next to him.

Then it was sent to Zhang's mother's room.

"Mom, you have to drink this medicine while it's hot. Let it sit for a while and then cool down a bit."

He blew on the hot medicine and placed it on the small table beside the bed.

This was the herbal medicine that Zhang Yuan had bought from a pharmacy in the county town specifically for his mother.

Due to overwork, Zhang's mother's health was severely damaged, resulting in long-term weakness and illness.

Although I had consulted a doctor for prescriptions before, I never had the money to buy the expensive medicinal herbs, so I just kept putting it off.

Fortunately, it didn’t develop into a serious illness.

Now that Zhang Yuan has made some unexpected money, of course he has to find ways to restore his mother's health.

Mother Zhang sat on the bed and smiled faintly: "Yuan'er, my mother's body can still hold on. If you have money, you should save it and buy more rice."

Zhang Yuan has had a big appetite since he was a child, but he has rarely had a full meal in the past decade or so.

Zhang Yuan finally managed to support the family on his own, but suddenly a Mr. Chen came to the village and started to recruit soldiers and build ancestral temples, while also squeezing people from other families dry.

These days are going to be difficult again.

Although Zhang's mother didn't know where Zhang Yuan got the money to serve in the army and buy medicine.

But she instinctively wanted to save money for her son.

"I also bought rice, grain, oil and salt."

Zhang Yuan explained: "Don't worry, I have found a way to make money, and I will have enough to eat in the future!"

A trace of sadness rose in his heart.

It has been five years since the memories of his previous life were awakened, and only now has he solved the problem of food and clothing.

Also helpless.

"Far baby!"

Zhang's mother suddenly stood up and grabbed Zhang Yuan's wrist tightly.

Her eyes were full of tension and solemnity, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the ancestral precepts of our Zhang family?"

"of course I remember!"

Zhang Yuan said firmly: "I would rather die of hunger than steal, and I would rather die of poverty than be a slave. This is the Zhang family's ancestral motto, and I will always keep it in mind."

He gently patted his mother's skinny hand and said softly, "I have never committed any crime!"

Seeing Zhang Yuan's firm attitude, Zhang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch his face: "My child, you have suffered so much these years."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It's not very hard."

He picked up the medicine bowl on the small table and blew on it a few more times, then handed it to his mother: "It should be almost done, be careful of the burns."

"Ah."

Mother Zhang took the medicine bowl and drank the liquid in it sip by sip.

The herb tastes very bitter.

But she didn't notice it at all, instead she felt like she was drinking honey.

After drinking the medicine, Zhang's mother quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep against the head of the bed.

Zhang Yuan carefully helped his mother lie down, then quietly left the room.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the small courtyard outside, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door - someone was coming!
Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed and he immediately opened the door and went out.

He saw the monk-headed lawyer coming to the door with two servants and almost bumping into him.

"Humph!"

The Zhangtou master paused and snorted coldly, then asked with a fake smile, "Zhang Yuan, the three-day deadline has come. Have you collected all the silver for the military service?"

He looked at Zhang Yuan with a sinister look, as if a poisonous snake was staring at its prey.

It makes people shudder!

Zhang Yuan replied calmly, "All ready."

He turned around and went to his room to get a cloth bag, then returned to the door and handed it to the other person: "Take a look."

The Zhangtou lawyer took the purse in surprise and weighed it, then emptied out all the money inside and counted it. He obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yuan actually collected five taels of silver for military service.

The Zhangtou Master seemed to have gotten to know Zhang Yuan all over again, and said angrily, "You're smart."

He winked at the servant next to him and said, "Let's go!"

"and many more!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly spoke up to stop him.

The master's expression suddenly changed, and the two servants looked fierce at the same time.

Zhang Yuan seemed unaware and asked in a deep voice, "Master, did you forget to give me the receipt?"

Without a receipt, who can prove that he has paid the full amount of silver required for military service?

There are no neighbors nearby to testify!

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Look at my memory!"

He took the paper and pen brought by the servant, quickly wrote a receipt to Zhang Yuan, and stamped it with his seal.

It seems quite formal.

Zhang Yuan held the receipt and watched the group of hyenas walk away.

He knew very well that if the other party cheated, then this receipt would be just like a piece of waste paper.

However, Master Zhangtou obviously had no intention of causing trouble again. It was probably because yesterday's strange incident made him feel fearful and he didn't dare to go too far in the village.

This difficult hurdle has been overcome.

But only temporarily!

Zhang Yuan stared at the receding figure of Master Zhangtou, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

However, Master Zhangtou didn't know that he had been included in Zhang Yuan's must-kill list. After he walked a distance away, he said coldly: "I didn't expect this kid to have some reputation and could actually come up with five taels of silver."

A servant nearby said, "I heard from the villagers that he went to the county town this morning to sell Zhang's dowry jewelry."

"Humph!"

Master Zhang sneered, "That means there is still some money to be made. Don't worry, we will slowly and steadily make money."

Both servants smiled knowingly.

In their view, Zhang Yuan was like fish on the chopping board, and sooner or later he would be eaten dry, leaving not even a bone.

Everyone admired Master Zhangtou's methods.

A bunch of peasants, there is no way they can win!

The three of them rushed to the next house.

No matter how weird and scary it is, there is nothing to be afraid of as long as you can't enter the village.

It would be terrible if you couldn't complete the master's task!
Zhang Yuan, who was standing at the door of his house, heard pleading and crying coming from not far away.

That was another family of villagers who were also included in the conscription list.

He closed the door expressionlessly.

Zhang Yuan clenched his fists.

The desire to become stronger has never been as strong and turbulent as it is now!
He opened the God's Nest panel.

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[God's Nest: Level 1 (15%)]

[Host: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (6%)/4 times Strength]

[Qi and blood: 72/75]

[Source Quality: 0]

The first host of God's Nest, the black giant ant, has been upgraded!

Relying on all the source material previously invested, it evolved from level 1 to level 2, and its innate ability became four times the strength!
Zhang Yuan himself is very strong, with his maximum strength reaching over 1 kilograms. With the power of the level black giant ant, he can burst out a force of to kilograms.

This was the key reason why he killed Sun Huyuan, a martial artist who had entered the realm of strength.

And now with the upgrade of the black giant ant, Zhang Yuan's explosive power can reach eight or nine hundred or even nearly a thousand kilograms.

I'm afraid he is stronger than a first-level Ming Jin warrior?
Zhang Yuan has no way to measure it for the time being.

But his confidence suddenly increased!
