The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Meanwhile, at the Jiuli base, Wu You was practicing the Sword Control Technique with his eyes closed.

Lanhe City, Lanxing Residential Area, at home.

The afternoon sun slanted in through the living room window, landing on the dishes on the dining table that were almost finished.

Since the martial arts exam had ended, Wu Jing was certain that she would be admitted to the Martial Arts University.

So I stopped going to school.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu's workplaces are also very close to home, and they don't have much to do at work, with a lot of free time at lunchtime.

So they usually go home to cook for themselves, then take a nap before going to work.

At this moment, Wu Jing scooped up the last few grains of rice from her bowl and then gently placed her chopsticks on the rim of the bowl.

She looked up at Wu Ma, who was already preparing to clear the table, and then at Wu Ba, who was finishing up. After thinking for a moment, she stood up and went back to her room.

She walked to the desk, opened the light brown wooden box, took out a small packet of chrysanthemum, and then returned to the dining table.

"Dad, Mom, what's this—"

Wu Jing was about to say something.

But before she could finish speaking, Wu's father noticed what Wu Jing was holding and spoke first, his voice filled with surprise: "Huh?"

"Xiaojing, why did you receive this kind of supplement too?"

Wu Ma, who was clearing the table, looked up and said, "Xiao Jing."

"Where did you receive this from?"

Wu Jing was also stunned for a moment, a question mark popping up above her head: ???

"What do you mean, 'also'? 'Again'?"

Aunt Wu explained, "Just this morning."

"The company's leaders called your dad and me over."

"He said a lot of things like 'You've worked hard' and so on."

They also gave us a wooden box, saying it was full of health supplements.

"They even told us to take care of our health and stuff."

As she spoke, Wu Ma stopped what she was doing, then walked to the storage cabinet in the living room, bent down, and pulled out a light brown wooden box with a thin layer of waxy luster on the surface and metal corners.

The moment Wu Jing saw the wooden box, she instantly understood: while she was still hesitating about how to give those medicinal herbs to her parents, that person had already arranged everything!

The other party, through the company and its leaders, delivered those valuable exotic plants to Mr. and Mrs. Wu in a legitimate way, making it easy for them to accept them.

Next, Wu Ma placed the wooden box on the dining table, opened it, and took out a packet of dried, pale red chrysanthemums.

She held up the packet of dried chrysanthemums in front of Wu Jing, shook it, and continued, "Look, it's exactly the same as the one you have."

Mr. Wu chuckled and chimed in, "Your mother and I were just as bewildered this morning."

"Hearing the boss's words of concern, I almost thought he was going to fire us."

"After all, it's such an easy job with good pay. I feel like the company doesn't need us to do anything at all, so how can it be considered hard work?"

"In the end, all they gave us was this box of supplements."

"They said it was a company-specific benefit."

At this point, Mr. Wu smiled and shook his head: "But Xiaojing, where did you get these supplements?"

"Did the school issue them?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing immediately followed up on her father's words, saying, "Yes, as a reward for being admitted to the martial arts university, the school also gave us some supplements that are helpful for martial arts training."

Then she paused, held up the small packet of chrysanthemum tea, and shook it again:

"I tried it yesterday, and it worked very well."

"Look, I feel much better today."

At this point, Wu Jing pointed to her cheek: "So Dad, Mom, you should try it too."

This morning, Wu Jing briefly told her parents about being admitted to the martial arts university.

They were naturally very happy, and when they returned at noon, they cooked a large meal for Wu Jing to celebrate.

Upon hearing Wu Jing's words, Wu's mother pushed the box on the dining table toward her, asking, "Will it help with martial arts practice?"

"Then Xiaojing can take these too."

Mr. Wu nodded: "You're going to the Martial Arts University later, so take these with you."

She patted the wooden box with her hand.

Upon hearing Wu Ma's words, Wu Jing quickly shook her head.

Not only did she say that her share of the exotic plant had been enough for a long time, but she also hoped that her parents could get better health: "No, no, no."

"The school distributed a lot more than you received."

"It's more than enough."

"And if you go to the martial arts university, they have special supplies of medicinal herbs."

"If you gave it to me, I wouldn't be able to use it all."

The above was just an excuse that Wu Jing made up so that the two elders could use those magical plants on their own.

And it turned out to be true: all students who entered the martial arts university received special medicinal herbs.

However, whether the effect is better than these heterologous plants is another matter.

Wu Jing pushed the box back, looked at her parents with a serious expression, and said in a deeper voice, "You two need to take care of your health too."

"This supplement is very effective."

"And the shelf life doesn't seem to be very long."

"It would be best to eat something quickly."

At this point, Wu Jing paused and added, "These supplements seem quite expensive; it would be a waste if we didn't take them."

This last question pinpointed the elderly couple's weakness: "Is it quite expensive?"

"We can't waste that."

Wu Jing nodded, held up the exotic plants in her hand, and said seriously, "These things aren't cheap, they seem to cost several thousand jade coins for just a little bit!"

"Such a small amount, yet it's worth several thousand jade coins!"

Aunt Wu looked at the strangely shaped plants in the box, took a deep breath, and said, "Hiss—doesn't this whole box cost tens of thousands?"

Wu Jing nodded seriously.

She knew, of course, that it was definitely more than just tens of thousands of jade coins, but she couldn't say it outright.

. . . . . .

After much persuasion, Wu Jing was finally convinced by her parents.

Aunt Wu put the wooden box into the storage cabinet and said, "Then let's eat it, let's not waste it." Uncle Wu nodded in agreement and said, "Then let's try brewing a pot tonight."

In addition, Wu Jing also told them that they could practice the new set of radio calisthenics whenever they had free time, as it would be even more effective when combined with the supplements.

She spoke casually and naturally, but she knew in her heart that it wasn't that the effect would be better, but rather that only with certain combined training could the medicinal power of those exotic plants be better absorbed.

As for the "Basic Swordplay of Martial Arts (Part 1)," Wu Jing planned to practice it herself first, and after confirming that there were no major problems, she would teach it to the two elders so that they would also have some ability to protect themselves.

After all, through the vivid dream she had last night, she was now certain: those man-eating monsters were real!
