Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

After descending Bai Niu Mountain, the sun was already setting in the west.

Jiang Chuan didn't rush into the city.

He found a secluded spot outside the city, wrapped up several bear skins, large and small, and hid them away.

This thing is too conspicuous; now is not the time to make a move.

After entering the city, he went to a teahouse and inquired about the Wang family.

The teahouse was buzzing with discussion.

The Wang family has been searching the entire city for auspicious items these days, offering incredibly high prices.

Even the hunters outside the city were tempted, carrying their mountain goods to gather at the Wang family's door.

Jiang Chuan then understood why Wang Lie had gone into the mountains to hunt bears.

It seems he regarded that black bear as an auspicious omen.

But I must say...

If it weren't for his intervention, I really wouldn't have known that bear was so ferocious.

In the end, they will likely suffer a great loss.

In this matter...

Jiang Chuan really needed to thank him properly!

As for Wang Lie himself, there was little news about him, and no one was talking about his injury.

However, the more this was the case, the more aware Jiang Chuan became of the situation.

Such concealment.

He must have been badly injured by that black bear...

Walking down the street, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is everyone looking at me?

Jiang Chuan turned his head and looked around. Those who had been spying on him and gossiping about him quickly turned their heads away, afraid of being discovered.

He frowned, quickly realizing the problem.

"This is not good..."

His current appearance is simply too eye-catching!

He is two meters tall.

A body covered in thick, fleshy muscles.

It's impossible to hide it even if you want to.

Even ordinary people could see that something was wrong.

If they were to encounter martial artists from the Wang family, they might only cause unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Chuan noticed this, lowered his head, and quickened his pace to go home.

The road permit hasn't been issued yet.

It would be best for him to stay home as much as possible these days.

With Liu Yue'e taking care of everything at home, there was no shortage of food or supplies.

After returning home.

Jiang Chuan immediately removed the bear gallbladder.

Fresh bear bile is wrapped in a thin membrane and has a dark purple sheen.

He once served as an alchemist and had considerable knowledge of pharmacology.

He could tell at a glance whether the gallbladder was good or bad.

The method of processing bear bile.

There are only two possibilities.

One method is to dry it, either by smoking or air-drying it, and then grinding it into powder. This makes it easy to store, but it takes a lot of time.

The drying process alone takes at least seven or eight days.

He is about to leave Zhang County.

It's obviously too late.

Next, it needs to be cleaned by washing it with warm water to remove the skin and tendons before taking it directly.

The advantage of this product is its convenience and speed, while also preserving the medicinal properties.

It just doesn't taste quite right.

Then let's clean it.

A pot of water was warming on the stove, and Jiang Chuan gently dropped the bear bile into it.

Using skillful force, he peeled away the outer membrane bit by bit, and then slowly picked out the tendons inside.

The skin is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the tendons are only as thick as a hair. It will tear easily if you exert too much force, so you can't rush it.

The water gradually turned yellow, and most of the fishy smell was washed away by the warm water.

Jiang Chuan changed the water twice before he could clean the bear bile.

The bear bile was now smaller than when it was first extracted.

But it's even more translucent now.

The purple hue even faintly tinged with gold.

Upon closer inspection, the fishy smell had mostly dissipated, leaving only an indescribable fishy fragrance.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Chuan tilted his head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

Even if this gall has some harmful side effects, with his physique of 30 points of Qi and Blood, he should be able to withstand it.

Bear bile is swallowed.

A bitter taste immediately filled my mouth.

First suffer,

It gets cool afterwards.

A cool sensation spread from my chest and abdomen, slowly permeating my limbs and bones.

Not long after.

Jiang Chuan noticed the change.

My eyes felt a refreshing coolness, as if they had been moistened by mountain spring water.

He walked into the courtyard and gazed into the distance.

It was already late at night.

In the past...

In the distance, there was only a pitch-black darkness.

Now, he can even see things faintly!

The outlines of the streets and alleys, the lines of the rooftops, all floated vaguely in the night.

He could even make out the general shape of a stray cat perched on the wall at the alley entrance.

The cat's eyes gleamed green, meeting his gaze perfectly.

This promotion was extremely important to him.

The biggest improvements are in the control panel.

Jiang Chuan opened the panel and saw a new line of information:

[Qi and Blood: 30.0]

【Spirit:???】

[Technique: Nine Breaths Breathing Technique (Minor Success, Proficiency 189/2000)]

【Characteristics: Level 1 Vision Improvement, Level 1 Poison Resistance】

……

He actually gained two more enhancement attributes!

He had already experienced its benefits in improving eyesight.

Quite amazing.

And that's level one poison resistance.

This corresponds to the liver-cleansing and detoxifying effects of bear bile.

Ordinary toxins probably won't harm him anymore; he can never have too many of these free ways to save his life.

Jiang Chuan was very satisfied.

Then.

He then took out those claw blades.

The black bear's claws are black and shiny like hooks, and exceptionally hard.

Following the blood refining method, Jiang Chuan melted the claw blades one by one into the crimson pattern.

Looking at the panel again, the sharpness of the Crimson Mark has increased from 17 points to 21 points!

The gains from this trip to Bai Niu Mountain have truly brought him a significant boost.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think.

Based on this perspective...

Giving this black bear an auspicious title is really not wrong!

The weather suddenly turned a bit gloomy and cold, which means winter is approaching.

Jiang Chuan wrapped his clothes tighter around himself.

I didn't investigate further.

He turned around and went back into the house to sleep with Liu Yue'e.

……

West of the city, in a deep alley.

The night is already deep.

A family in the alley was fast asleep.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the courtyard gate, three times in a row, with a short, rapid rhythm.

The couple inside were awakened by the noise and came to their senses.

Who is it?

The man shouted, sat up, and looked out the window.

It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything.

No one responded.

Only the wind howled as it swept through the alleyway.

The knocking never happened again.

The wife rubbed her eyes, still sleepy, and nudged her husband's arm.

"Did the stray cat knock something over?"

"Master, go out and take a look."

"You son of a bitch!"

The man cursed under his breath, put on his clothes, and went out to investigate, holding a candle in hand.

But the courtyard was deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight.

He turned and went back into the house, and his wife asked, "Honey, did you see clearly?"

The man blew out the lamp, lay back on the bed, and said irritably, "Whose unlucky kid is this, causing trouble in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!"

The two had just fallen asleep in a daze.

Sudden.

The knocking started again.

This time, we were much closer, and the voices sounded as if they were right next to our ears.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Still three strikes, very rhythmic.

Not too much, not too little.

The couple were first woken up by the noise, and then they were both startled.

Because this time, it wasn't the courtyard gate that was being knocked on.

It's the door!

Someone has entered the yard!

The wife gripped her husband's arm tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Honey, could it be...?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The man felt a little uneasy.

But if it's not a ghost.

In the dead of night, who would knock on the door without saying a word?

"Maybe it's still that same little bastard!"

He forced himself to get up, grabbed a wooden stick, and walked to the door.

With a creak.

The door was pushed open.

The wife lay in bed, listening intently, clutching the corner of the blanket, barely daring to breathe.

But after the door opened, there was no more sound outside.

It was eerily quiet.

then.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard inside the house.

From the doorway, walk all the way to the front of the inner room.

The wife picked up the candlestick, her expression terrified, and asked from behind the curtain, "Husband, is that you outside? Husband, don't scare me!"

The footsteps stopped in front of the curtain.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

The doorframe of the inner room was knocked on again.

Three times still.

call! !

A gust of cold wind swept into the room, causing the candlelight to flicker violently a few times before going out with a whoosh.

A woman's scream echoed from the darkness.

Then.

Everything fell into complete silence.
