Chapter 68 Dragon Scale Flame Ointment

In the arsenal.

Jiang Heng was slightly stunned when he heard Bai Yong's words, and asked in confusion: "How expensive is it?"

Bai Yong smiled, took out his mobile phone, opened the mall, and clicked on the search bar to search for products.

Then he showed the phone screen to Jiang Heng.

-

[Dragon Scale Flame Ointment: A special ointment made from creatures within the Heavenly Gate, it can help improve the efficiency of practicing Flame Breathing techniques.]
[Usage: Take one gram orally with warm water]
[Note: Warriors below level 5 are prohibited from taking more than three grams at a time, as this may be life-threatening.]
[Price: One bottle (100g) / 30000 Merit Points]
[Purchase restrictions: Staff Sergeant rank]
-

After reading the text on the screen, Jiang Heng was stunned subconsciously: "So expensive?"

The Red Flame Golden Body Ointment only costs 10,000 merit points for 100 grams.

This Dragon Scale Flame Ointment actually costs 30,000 Merit Points per bottle...

When Bai Yong saw the astonishment on Jiang Heng's face, he immediately felt relieved.

I was saying it, how could anyone’s spiritual practice be completely smooth sailing?
No matter how talented you are, you will still need money when you need it.

Bai Yong said with a smile: "Didn't you see the precautions for this thing?

This kind of dragon scale flame ointment is not for a warrior like you with a third-level physical body.

Even a fourth-level warrior would find it difficult to withstand the effects of this medicine; it is primarily for fifth-level warriors."

Jiang Heng was slightly speechless.

This ointment is mainly for level 5 physical warriors. No wonder it's so expensive... The effect should be very good...

He thought about it and felt it was worth it.

On the one hand, it can improve the level of the physical body, and on the other hand, it can also improve the proficiency of the third-level candlelight breathing method.

The proficiency of the Candlelight Breathing Technique must be raised to at least 10% before one can perform the third-level Blood Burning Technique and combine one's own Qi with the Flame Breath.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng nodded: "Okay, I'll buy a bottle."

Bai Yong was slightly stunned: "Where did you get 30,000 merit points?"

Jiang Heng gave him a strange look and said, "I just killed a red stick from Hongmen two days ago."

Bai Yong curled his lips. He had actually forgotten about this matter.

"Okay, you have money."

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It will take a few days for my rank to reach Sergeant. I'll have to trouble Captain Bai to help me purchase it."

Bai Yong glanced at him and asked, "Why?"

"Uh..." Jiang Heng was speechless for a moment.

Bai Yong's eyes turned and he chuckled, "I remember you don't have a girlfriend yet, right? I have a niece who is sixteen years old.

Although she's only in high school, she's very pretty. If you make friends with her, I'll buy it for you."

Jiang Heng looked at Bai Yong speechlessly: "He's a sixteen-year-old high school student. He's underage and breaking the law."

Bai Yong snorted coldly: "I asked you to make friends, not to fall in love. At most you can wait another two years."

"..."

……

Making friends is just a joke.

Furthermore, warriors and ordinary people are not suitable for each other. The physical difference between the two is like that between a stone and an egg. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces...

Jiang Heng transferred 30,000 merit points to Bai Yong and asked him to help buy a bottle of Dragon Scale Flame Ointment, which would probably take one to two days to deliver.

Afterwards, he left the armory and drove back to the Chongming Street garrison.

At this time, the practice method and teaching video of the third-level Candlelight Breathing Method had been sent to his account.

Jiang Heng read it twice over and over again. The third-level breathing method was several times more complicated than the second-level one.

It was no longer just about using the simple breathing frequency and the Five Hearts Facing Heaven method to guide the external flames into the body, but to guide the flames to deeply activate the cells in the body...

Jiang Heng began to try to practice.

Three hours later, when it was getting dark outside the window, he opened the panel and took a look.

[Physical Level: 3.01]
[Kung Fu: Candlelight Series · Level 0.1 Breathing Technique (Proficiency %)]
[Current status: mild candlelight disease, mild microbial myocardial syndrome]
The candlelight disease has improved from mild to mild, which is better than nothing. "I think I still need some strong medicine to help..."

Jiang Heng shook his head, then opened the Wu'an Bureau's internal mall on his mobile phone and scratched his hair with a headache.

"Tsk, the merit points are really not enough..."

He thought that the more than 40,000 merit points he had just obtained were already a lot.

I didn't expect that I would spend 30,000 points in one go.

Now, there are only 16,000 merit points left.

In the internal mall of the Wu'an Bureau, a common professional martial art on the market would cost 20,000 to 30,000 merit points.

The "Three Styles of the Broken Ape" in the King Kong series requires 39,000 merit points.

“I can’t afford it at all…”

Jiang Heng shook his head and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"But according to the director, the Hongmen movement won't be quiet for the next period of time. There should still be opportunities to gain merit points..."

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the Dragon Scale Flame Ointment was delivered from the headquarters warehouse to the branch armory.

At this time, Bai Yong's expression became more serious.

"I'm warning you in advance that this ointment is ten times more potent than the Scarlet Flame Golden Body Ointment. If someone with a Level 4 physique takes an excessive dose, it could easily lead to accidents.

Don't take advantage of your special physique and think you can stuff this thing into your mouth casually. Be careful!"

As he spoke, he handed the metal safe to Jiang Heng.

"If you ruin yourself, I'm really going to introduce my niece to you..."

Jiang Heng's mouth twitched slightly. He began to doubt whether Bai Yong's niece was really as pretty as she said...

He took the metal safe, then said goodbye and left the Wu'an Bureau, returned to the Chongming Street guard room, and entered the password to open it.

Inside was a translucent medicine bottle with a special glass shell, in which flowed a sticky ointment as bright as flowing fire.

Even through a layer of glass, Jiang Heng seemed to be able to feel the dryness contained in the ointment.

"Is this the Dragon Scale Flame Ointment for level five... I hope the effects won't disappoint me..."

He opened the seal of the medicine bottle, poured out five grams, mixed it with warm water and took it orally.

In an instant, a burning dryness exploded in his stomach, and the huge medicinal power instantly spread to his limbs and bones. The temperature in his body rose rapidly, reaching fifty or sixty degrees in the blink of an eye.

"What a powerful medicine..."

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and without hesitation he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the third-level candlelight breathing method.

The invisible flames from heaven and earth were drawn into his body, rapidly corroding Jiang Heng's body cells. Intense pain, like a burning fire, spread throughout his body...

Four hours later.

The violent medicinal power that was roaming around in his body gradually subsided, and Jiang Heng opened his eyes numbly.

At this moment, he could no longer feel the existence of his own body, as if he was a piece of dead wood that had been completely burned into charcoal.

If he hadn't gone through so many hardships, he would have been so determined now.

And he always paid attention to the status on his panel and made subtle adjustments through the power of disease, otherwise he would most likely faint on the spot.

If he falls into a coma and is unable to activate his erosion, his life will be in real danger...

He glanced at the status on the panel.

[Current status: moderate to severe inflammatory syndrome, mild microbial myocardial syndrome]
Candlelight disease has directly transformed into inflammatory syndrome...

This extremely weak state was indeed somewhat unbearable, and Jiang Heng's mind moved.

"Erosion, transformation."

The gentle and mysterious power of disease quickly flowed into Jiang Heng's body, clearing away the remaining inflammation and lesions in the body, and quickly feeding back and repairing the body.

After a few breaths, Jiang Heng's shriveled and weak body was full again, and the vigorous vitality returned to his body.
