Chapter 108 The Duke's Gift of Medicine! Fire Spirit Pill! Li Jianzhong's 'Mud Pill

Chapter 109 The Duke's Gift of Medicine! Fire Spirit Pill! Li Jianzhong's 'Mud Pill'!

The next day, early in the morning.

Shen Yan was still practicing his martial arts in the courtyard when he heard a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, they found it was Shen Rong.

Seeing his travel-worn and exhausted appearance, Shen Yan was somewhat surprised.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that Brother Rong has returned from fleeing?"

Shen Rong entered the courtyard and closed the gate behind him.

Without saying a word, he dragged Shen Yan into the house.

This left Shen Yan completely bewildered.

"What is Rong-ge doing?"

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Of course I brought you something nice."

He took a jade box from the bundle on his chest, placed it on the table, and carefully opened it.

Shen Yan saw ten bright red pills lying neatly inside, but could only smell the strange fragrance they emitted.

He then felt completely comfortable, and his blood and energy were stimulated.

Shen Yan looked at Shen Rong with a shocked expression and asked, "Brother Rong, what's going on?!"

"This is the Fire Spirit Pill. Do you still remember the thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng that the Prince of Zhenbei lost at the banquet before the New Year?"

Shen Yan nodded slightly. He had assumed that the Prince of Zhenbei was cheating because the Shen family hadn't sent anything.

After all, judging from Shen Moxuan and the others' attitude, the Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Ginseng must be a good thing.

Shen Rong chuckled and said, "This pill is the Fire Spirit Pill, made primarily from that thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng."

He paused for a moment before saying, "The Duke felt that consuming the Fire Spirit Ginseng directly would be too wasteful, so he asked someone to go to Qingfeng Temple to invite Daoist Qingwei to refine it."

"What are the effects of this Fire Spirit Pill?"

Shen Rong said, "The Fire Spirit Pill has miraculous effects on both external and internal cultivation, and even the auxiliary ingredients are rare and precious natural treasures."

Shen Yan clicked his tongue in amazement. Even without Shen Rong saying anything, he knew that this elixir was precious.

Shen Rong closed the jade box and said solemnly, "The Duke knows that you are about to face Zeng Yanqiu, so he specially ordered me to go to Qingfeng Temple to fetch some pills. Even if it only increases your strength by a little, it will increase your chances of winning."

Just smelling it had caused his blood to surge; he couldn't help but wonder how effective it would be if he took it.

Knowing that he had never used pills before, Shen Rong instructed him, "It usually takes an average person five days to refine the medicinal power of one Fire Spirit Pill. You must remember that the medicinal power must be completely refined before you can continue to take it."

"Understood, Brother Rong, thank you!"

Shen Rong sighed, it had only been a few months since he last stood up for Shen Yan.

I never imagined that he had grown to this level; I feel somewhat defeated.

"Perhaps this is what genius is all about!"

It's no wonder that Shen Moxuan values ​​Shen Yan so much. The reason why powerful and wealthy families can prosper for so long is ultimately because they need successors.

If someone as gifted as Shen Yan hadn't been valued and nurtured, the Shen family wouldn't have prospered to this day.

Shen Rong told Shen Yan about the precautions for taking the Fire Spirit Pill and also gave him detailed information about Zeng Yanqiu.

He then decided to leave.

"I won't disturb your training and cultivation any longer. I wish you success in capturing that old thief and venting your anger."

After saying that, Shen Rong left. He was not optimistic that Shen Yan could defeat Zeng Yanqiu.

The gap between the third and fifth ranks is too great, even though Zeng Yanqiu used a trick to break through to the third rank.

His strength wasn't as great as other third-rank martial artists, but he was still a third-rank martial artist.

The top-rank martial artists who can project their true energy have already entered another world.

He didn't try to dissuade him because he didn't want to admit defeat before the battle even started, and he figured Shen Yan wouldn't be in any real danger.

Shen Rong knew that the Duke would appear that day, and then he understood.

Anyone who dares to kill Shen Yan in front of Shen Moxuan is probably asking for trouble.

Shen Moxuan's reputation wasn't built on his ancestors' influence, but on the blood and sweat of his enemies.

Shen Yan carefully put the jade box away. After taking the medicine, he needed to cultivate continuously in order to bring out its effects.

It's almost time to go to the imperial prison for my duties.

At that time, you can just find any empty cell.

After settling things at the Heavenly Prison, Shen Yan was unable to attend to it for the rest of the time.

The matter will be handled by Qi Xuan. With the cooperation of the three prison guards, there shouldn't be any major problems in the prison.

Moreover, he had Yang Wanli backing him up.

After giving his instructions, Shen Yan began taking the medicine and cultivating.

His vital energy was immense, far surpassing that of other martial artists of the same level, and he became even more powerful after consuming the Fire Spirit Pill.

The powerful gusts of wind generated by their punches and kicks were astonishing, like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon.

The jailers in the dungeon were all amazed by Shen Yan's strength when they heard the voice.

Unfortunately, they were not martial artists; they only felt that Shen Yan was very strong, but they didn't know just how strong he was.

The news of Shen Yan and Zeng Yanqiu's duel spread, and of course, the scholars played a significant role in it.

Watching a spectacle is human nature, and this was further fueled by the deliberate promotion by Jinghu Academy.

The news quickly spread throughout Bianjing.

For countless years, no one has dared to provoke Jinghu Academy like this. Since Shen Yan dared to step forward, he naturally wanted to show everyone the consequences of provoking Jinghu Academy.

After Shen Yan finished practicing, he discovered that the effects of the Fire Spirit Pill were not as long-lasting as Shen Rong had said.

In less than half a day, Shen Yan had almost completely absorbed the medicinal power.

The progress in the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra is very obvious.

He predicted that if things continued this way, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra would probably break through to the third level in less than three days, and the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique would reach the sixth level before February 2nd, thus making him a fourth-grade martial artist.

With his muscles and bones fully developed, he was only one step away from mastering the art of bodybuilding.

Unfortunately, there were only ten Fire Spirit Pills, which wouldn't be enough to last until then.

Moreover, taking too much of the same kind of pill will weaken its effect.

However, if we take into account the power fed back from the Dao Fruit, it seems that the difference is not that great.

"Zeng Yanqiu does not seem to be invincible."

At this time.

Shen Yan saw Li Jianzhong coming to find him.

"Old Li, what do you want?"

"I heard you're going to fight Zeng Yanqiu, so I came to see you one last time, lest I die without seeing you again."

Shen Yan said calmly, "Don't worry, even if you die, I won't!"

Li Jianzhong asked seriously, "Are you confident in your ability to defeat Zeng Yanqiu?"

"I'm not sure right now, but I will be in two weeks."

Li Jianzhong was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Shen Yan could advance to the third rank in just half a month?"

However, he didn't believe it, because there was a natural barrier between the fourth and third ranks.

It's not something that can be overcome in just half a month.

"I have some pills here that can help you."

Li Jianzhong took out a bunch of ugly-looking pills.

Shen Yan frowned and said, "You call these strangely shaped mud balls elixirs?"

Li Jianzhong looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Its poor appearance does not mean it is ineffective."

He started picking them up and introducing them one by one.

Among them are not only potent medicines that temporarily boost strength, but also poisons and healing drugs.

However, most of them were poisons, and Shen Yan looked at him with increasingly strange eyes.

He wondered to himself, "Is Li Jianzhong a doctor or a poison master?"

However, since it was his kind gesture, Shen Yan accepted it.

Even if it's not needed for Zeng Yanqiu now, it will be useful in the future.

After accepting the pills, Shen Yan said, "Old Li, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."

Li Jianzhong sneered, "If you die, where am I supposed to find such a good place to test drugs?"

After saying that, Li Jianzhong left.
