Chapter 158 - 158: 143: Leisure and the New Spirit Seed
Port District, Yinghui Grocery Store.
“Hoo—”
Chen Sheng, who had finished working out, stood up from the ground.
He summoned the panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 97] [Agility: 96] [Constitution: 106]
[Skill Points: 68]
Chen Sheng’s evening training had increased his strength and agility by five points each.
His constitution had increased by six points.
Now that the spirit medicine was exhausted, the effect of training had suddenly dropped a lot.
Although such an increase was already considerable compared to one or two days ago.
But when thinking about how he could have achieved more, Chen Sheng felt as uncomfortable as losing money.
He looked at the spiritual medicine field on the other side of the courtyard.
Under the bright moonlight, it could be clearly seen that the cracks in the soil were faintly shimmering with fluorescence.
That was the spirit seed slowly releasing Qi, enhancing the life essence of the surrounding herbs.
Seeds that had just been planted for a day were now starting to sprout, and their speed could not be considered slow.
But no matter how fast.
It would take at least three days for the spirit medicine to fully mature.
Fortunately,
Chen Sheng had killed Li Hengkong today, and it was not without gain.
The old man had told Chen Sheng his hiding place before he died.
He must have relied on a substantial supply of spirit medicine to practice so many breathing techniques in just over half a year.
Probably tomorrow,
Chen Sheng would be able to obtain a batch of spirit medicine smoothly.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhou Li and Xu Ying were still at the Wu’an Bureau.
Although Shen Ziming said in the afternoon conversation that he was willing to help with the Power Sect, at least he could guarantee that they would not mess around without evidence.
However, Chen Sheng never liked to pin his hopes on others.
He planned to wait for some time, confirm the safety, and then let the two of them return.
Soon,
After taking a shower, Chen Sheng returned to his room.
As he lay on the bed,
He stared at the ceiling, his eyes somewhat dazed.
“Shen Ziming…”
Compared to when Chen Sheng started practicing martial arts, now upon meeting Shen Ziming again, the mystery surrounding him had not diminished but had become even stronger.
Chen Sheng really wanted to know why his Eye of True View could not see Shen Ziming’s attribute panel.
How did the other party become a disciple of the Association’s headquarters committee in less than half a month and smoothly get rid of the status of a wanted criminal?
As well as the hereditary disease of his family that he could never cure.
Unfortunately,
In the afternoon conversation, Shen Ziming, as always, had not revealed much about himself to Chen Sheng.
However, the two had already agreed.
Shen Ziming would return to Haizhou City tonight to deal with the Power Sect.
The next day, he would come back and meet Chen Sheng again.
At that time, there would naturally be an opportunity to ask questions.
With this thought.
Chen Sheng turned off the light and closed his eyes.
Sleepiness gradually spread in his mind.
Soon, a long and steady breathing sound was heard in the dim and quiet room.
The next day.
At the break of dawn,
Chen Sheng woke up on time.
Now that Zhou Li and Xu Ying were not around, he had to take care of breakfast on his own.
He opened the door to his room.
The cold wind from outside rushed straight in.
But Chen Sheng was unfazed.
He went to the washbasin, and after washing up, he put on his clothes and went straight out the door.
Coming out of the alley entrance, standing on the desolate street and taking a deep breath, Chen Sheng said, “Inhale—”
A large amount of air was drawn into his body, and he closed his eyes with a look of intoxication on his face.
The fresh morning air was always so refreshing.
Afterward,
He then took a leisurely walk in the direction of the breakfast shop.
The brief relaxed time
Made Chen Sheng feel quite comfortable.
Not long ago, when Chen Sheng first came into contact with the Sealed Land of Heavenly People under Zhou Family Village’s waterfall,
Now, as his strength increased day by day,
He became more and more aware of the power of the ancient humans buried under the waterfall at that time, which still seemed terrifying to remember.
If it had not been for the seeming lack of malice from those ancient humans towards him, who was also a human,
Maybe at that time, Chen Sheng would have died directly in that cave.
Yet, such terrifying power radiated only from the corpses of ancient humans that died tens of thousands of years ago.
It’s hard to imagine how strong these people were when they were alive.
Even with the sacrifice of so many powerful ancient humans. they could harely
seal the Heavenly Person.
They couldn’t even kill him.
Heavenly Person… what kind of existence could it be?
Moreover, there are threats lurking in the dark, like the Holy Sect.
Therefore,
During that time,
Chen Sheng’s heart had a persistent sense of urgency he couldn’t escape
Until now,
Basking in the early morning sun and looking at the slightly desolate streets around him.
He breathes in the fresh air.
Only then could Chen Sheng’s mind slightly relax.
He arrives at the breakfast shop.
Quite a few people are already gathered at the entrance, waiting in line to buy breakfast.
Most of them are stallholders at the nearby vegetable market.
“Boss, please give me…”
After waiting for about three to five minutes, it was finally Chen Sheng’s turn. Once the boss finished packing, Chen Sheng carried his breakfast and walked back the way he came.
He returned to the grocery store.
Immediately after finishing his breakfast, Chen Sheng stood in the empty space in the courtyard.
The brief relaxation made him feel much happier.
But Chen Sheng knew very well.
To live a leisurely life for a long time,
He must possess enough strength to eliminate any threats that would try to disturb his life.
With this in mind,
Chen Sheng closed his eyes.
Then, he opened them again,
And his gaze became firm once more.
Without hesitation,
He quickly assumed the training stance for Profound and True Martial Arts.
Not long after,
In the early morning grocery store,
The sound of heavy drum-like heartbeats echoed again, lingering in the air above the courtyard.
Time passed swiftly.
Before he knew it,
It was already noon.
Chen Sheng, who had maintained his training posture for several hours, jumped up from the ground and exercised his body.
Instantly,
The sound of crackling explosions, like frying beans, rang out from all parts of his body.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 103]
[Agility: 102] [Constitution: 113]
[Skill Points: 87]
Chen Sheng’s attributes had finally broken through the 100 -point mark.
It would only take Chen Sheng about three days to upgrade Profound and True Martial Arts to the third layer.
Compared to other martial artists, this is an astounding increase in speed.
But Chen Sheng is far from satisfied.
With this in mind,
He picked up the phone and called Shen Ziming, asking when they could meet.
The next second,
Ding-ling-ling-
The phone rang outside the grocery store.
With the sound of the glass door being pushed open,
The ringing grew louder.
Chen Sheng hung up the call.
Right after,
A figure carrying a paper bag entered the backyard.
Shen Ziming, with a smile, lifted the paper bag in his hand and shook it.
“Brother Chen, your harvest this time is not small.”
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s eyes lit up.
He directly took the paper bag from Shen Ziming’s hands, pulling out the contents.
It was two wooden boxes, identical in style to the wooden boxes used for storing spiritual medicine at the Martial Arts Association.
Chen Sheng couldn’t wait to open them. The next second,
A lush green reflected in his eyes.
Inside the wooden box was a palm-sized tree root.
And the surface of the tree root was covered with a dense layer of green fluorescence.
It was far denser than the stone spirit seed that Chen Sheng had initially obtained, by countless times..
