Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 68: Qi and Blood Values ​​Soar, Three Months Later

A piece of monster flesh the size of a thumb, wrapped in a faint gold color.

It emitted an enticing aroma, making Lin Chen wish he could swallow it whole.

But Lin Chen held back. According to Wang Lishan, it was still somewhat difficult for a martial artist to consume the flesh and blood of a third-tier demon beast.

So, following Wang Lishan's instructions, he tore off a strip of flesh the size of a shred.

The pale golden flesh melts in your mouth without needing to be chewed!

A warm current filled Lin Chen's body.

Immediately afterwards, the effects of the monster meat came rushing in.

heat!

An unimaginable heat swept over my entire body, spreading from my abdomen to every part of my limbs.

Almost instantly, Lin Chen's entire body turned a deep red, as if he had been roasted by fire.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her delicate face gradually turned red.

pain!

Lin Chen underestimated the immense pain caused by the monster's flesh; pain, itching, heat... several discomforts struck at the same time.

"We must use breathing techniques..."

Reason triumphs over desire.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his physical discomfort.

His whole body began to breathe rhythmically, and his muscles twitched as if he were thoroughly digesting the power contained in that strand of flesh and blood.

Surprisingly, as the breathing technique was practiced, the physical discomfort gradually lessened.

Or perhaps Lin Chen has already adapted to this kind of pain.

And so, an hour passed...

After Lin Chen completely digested this strand of flesh and blood, he felt better than ever before.

Full of energy, with sharp hearing and eyesight, and light steps.

I glanced at the health and mana value on my watch—106 points.

Just a wisp of flesh and blood increased my Qi and Blood value by 5 points!

"Great, this means my absorption rate isn't bad..."

Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief, and, suppressing his fear, tore off another piece of flesh.

Lin Chen spent the entire night digesting the flesh and blood of the demon beast.

The alternation between the agony of consuming flesh and blood and the exhilarating feeling of increased strength left Lin Chen in a state of ecstasy...

Until the next morning.

Lin Chen finally digested the entire piece of flesh and blood completely.

At this moment, he felt his physical body was stronger than ever before.

He threw a punch at the air!

The force of the punch almost created a sonic boom in the air.

He glanced down at the health and mana levels on his watch.

125 points!

Lin Chen was stunned.

Overnight, my health and mana increased by 24 points!

"Hiss, intermediate martial artist, only 150 points of health... I've already completed halfway through this stage!"

Lin Chen felt somewhat excited; his digestion rate of the demon beast's flesh and blood far exceeded his expectations.

"By the way, didn't Uncle Wang say the maximum increase in health points was twenty...?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Perhaps it's the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill that has brought me close to the Acquired Immaculate Body! Therefore, my absorption rate of demonic beast flesh and blood has greatly increased?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but think that if that were the case, then the value of the Marrow Cleansing Pill would increase even further.

"If this continues... I might reach the Grand Martial Master level within three months!" Lin Chen's eyes shone brightly.

……

Spring has passed and summer has arrived; it is June.

The weather is getting hotter, and three months have passed since Lin Chen broke through to the Martial Master level.

On this day, Lin Chen officially turned eighteen.

In the military dependents' residential area, a family of four sat around a table.

A sumptuous meal and a cake were laid out on the table.

Over the years, despite their poor family circumstances, the uncle and aunt have never missed celebrating Lin Chen and An An's birthdays.

This birthday was a little different from previous ones.

Looking at Lin Chen, who was gradually losing his naivety, Lin Jianhe's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Xiao Chen, you've grown up..."

Just as the atmosphere was about to become emotional, Lin An'an suddenly said:

"Dad! Today is my brother's birthday, don't give me that crap!"

After saying that, Lin An'an put a birthday hat on Lin Chen and lit the candles.

"Dude, make a wish! After you make your wish, we'll cut the cake... I want the piece with the strawberry!"

An'an shamelessly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled and said that the sense of ceremony for a birthday should still be maintained.

But what should I wish for?

"Life is so much better now than it was six months ago. I'm very satisfied..."

"Then I hope that if I become stronger, I can protect this family and this happiness forever..."

Lin Chen closed his eyes and made a silent wish before blowing out the candles.

"Hey bro, I'm eating cake!"

As soon as Lin Chen blew out the candles, Lin An'an cut the cake for the three of them in turn.

He then took the cake with cream and strawberries in front of him.

Her rosy little face was covered in cream, making her incredibly cute.

Lin Jianhe glared at An'an and scolded her:

"How old are you? Still so greedy? I think you've almost recovered... It'll be time to go back to school after the semester starts!"

Lin An'an's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this, and looking at the cake in her hand, she suddenly lost interest.

Lin Chen did not stop them after seeing this.

No matter the era, reading more books is always beneficial.

Next time I mention it to Wang Xinyu, I'll send An'an to a military family high school so I can worry less.

After finishing his meal, Lin Chen returned to his room to cultivate.

Not long after, he received a call from Wang Lishan.

"Good, has the first batch of spiritual herbs matured yet?"

"I'll go right now!"

Lin Chen hung up the phone and quickly set off under Li Nian's escort.

……

The back mountain of the military region.

Lin Chen stood on a high place, gazing at every blade of grass and tree on the back mountain.

The hill behind the mountain is now very different from what it was a few months ago.

There are eight spirit-gathering arrays set up in this area behind the mountain, covering an area of ​​nearly sixty acres!

Within the Spirit Gathering Array, there were spiritual herbs and spiritual rice scattered throughout.

Among them, the spiritual rice covers an area of ​​40 mu, and the first batch of spiritual rice has been harvested, yielding nearly 40,000 jin!

Although it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the number of warriors in the Great Xia Kingdom, it is enough to cover the supply on a small scale.

Spirit rice is different from ordinary rice; one pound of spirit rice is enough for a martial artist to consume for three days.

Forty thousand catties of spirit rice is enough to feed a force of ten thousand martial artists for nearly half a month.

Aside from replanting some of the spirit rice seeds, the remaining spirit rice was immediately transported to the front lines of the Martial Realm.

The intense battles on the front lines of the martial realm, combined with the wonderful uses of spiritual rice, can undoubtedly rapidly boost a martial artist's qi and blood.

"However, compared to spirit rice... I am more concerned about the situation of the first batch of spirit herbs."

Lin Chen leaped lightly to the middle of the medicinal field, where nearly 10,000 spiritual herbs were planted in the twenty acres of medicinal field.

Most of them are Crimson Blood Flower, while the rest are things like Blood Clotting Grass and Qi-Boosting Pill.

In the past three months, the Xia Kingdom has trained more than a thousand Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Over a hundred people successfully sensed the spirit of the plants, which were then nurtured day and night by these cultivators.

The first batch of medicinal herbs was matured in just half a month.

Lin Chen's heart stirred, and he extended his divine sense ten feet away.

After walking around the field, he nodded slightly and said:

"Not bad, there are more than three thousand mature spiritual herbs... Although their quality is still inferior to that of spiritual herbs in the cultivation world, they can already be used for alchemy."

Just as Lin Chen was deep in thought, Old Jiang's voice came from beside him.

"Xiao Chen, how's it going? Did this batch of medicinal herbs pass the test?"

Old Jiang's voice trembled slightly, and he seemed to have lost some weight compared to six months ago.

For the past six months, he has been working tirelessly day and night to cultivate the spiritual rice and spiritual medicine.

Looking at the old man's somewhat hunched figure, Lin Chen nodded emphatically.

"Elder Jiang, this batch of medicinal herbs fully meets the standards for medicinal use!"

"Based on my estimate, the success rate will be around 60%... but further experiments are needed to confirm!"
