Lian Chengyu circulated his Yuan Qi to protect his body, but the pain made him grimace. But when he thought of entering the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in the future, he would be able to learn the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' and become one of the best. Lian Chengyu endured it all!
It had to be said that in order to become strong, Lian Chengyu's willpower was extraordinary.
A person with a weak willpower could use the title of a tribe's young master to eat good meat and food in a small tribe. When he had nothing to do, he would fool around with the tribe's girls. It was fine being a young master of a romantic village, but how could he reach Lian Chengyu's current height?
"Young master Lian has great willpower!"
"Young master Lian is really a man of steel!"
"Washing one's body with boiling medicinal liquid is not something that an ordinary person can endure! Young master Lian is really a dragon among men! "
Seeing Lian Chengyu being boiled like a cooked prawn in the liquid, the surrounding lackeys, including Zhao Tiezhu, began to suck up to him.
They usually did not speak in such a manner. They usually used vulgar words, but to suck up to him, they had specially learned some fancy adjectives.
"Add some more fire!"
Lian Chengyu gritted his teeth and shouted. It was extremely painful to be boiled in 90 ° C water. At this moment, the veins on Lian Chengyu's forehead bulged. His body was curled up and his skin was red.
In this state, if Lian Chengyu were to be associated with a "dragon among men", it would probably be related to boiled lobster.
He really couldn't take it anymore, but the effect of the medicinal liquid washing his body was much worse than what he had expected! How could this be?
"Add more fire?"
The lackeys looked at each other. Their admiration for Lian Chengyu was like a raging river, flowing endlessly.
"F * * k! Young master Lian said to add more fire, what are you waiting for? Why, do you suspect that Young master Lian can't withstand it? Young master Lian's willpower and ability is not something you can guess! "
Zhao Tiezhu still had a bit of status. He scolded a few of his underlings right to their faces.
After he finished reprimanding them, he personally carried a pile of firewood the thickness of an arm. Without any hesitation, he placed it around the metal bucket and started burning.
Seeing that Lian Chengyu's body tempering seemed to have reached a critical moment, Zhao Tiezhu, in order to show his attentiveness, specially took out a large palm-leaf fan and fanned the fire.
The flames were about to burn Lian Chengyu's hair.
"Young Master Lian, it felt good right?" Zhao Tiezhu chuckled as he took credit.
Lian Chengyu was speechless. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. He clenched his fists so tightly that his skin was about to crack from the heat, but the effect was still not as expected.
"What's going on?"
Lian Chengyu was infuriated. Under Zhao Tiezhu's attentive service, the flesh on his body really started to crack.
A person's skin would curl and shrink under high heat, and then completely crack. Now, this phenomenon was happening on Lian Chengyu's body!
However, Lian Chengyu couldn't care less about this because he realized a possibility that made him extremely afraid, so afraid that it made him suffocate.
At Lian Chengyu's cultivation level, he was just one step away from the Purple Blood realm. Lian Chengyu was extremely sensitive to every improvement in his body.
He knew that although he was being cooked in a pot of good medicine, his heart rate had not changed. His flesh and bones had been tempered, but the effects were not obvious.
He had not absorbed much of this pot of good medicine!
Lian Chengyu realized that he had probably reached a so-called "bottleneck"!
Lian Chengyu had long heard from his master, Yao Yuan, that warriors would often encounter bottlenecks when they were cultivating, especially when they were about to break through to a new realm. A bottleneck could be stuck for a lifetime without being able to break through!
The path of martial arts was long and endless. In the path of martial arts, there would always be a day when one would be stuck at a bottleneck. This was almost inevitable. However, Lian Chengyu never expected that he would encounter his first bottleneck when he was just breaking through to the Purple Blood realm.
He could not accept it!
He was a proud son of Heaven, a golden dragon trapped in shallow waters. Once he encountered a storm, he would soar into the sky!
How could he encounter a bottleneck in the mere Purple Blood realm!?
He refused to believe it!
"Add more fire!"
Lian Chengyu seemed to use all his strength to shout irritably.
"Still … still adding more fire?"
Zhao Tiezhu also felt that something was amiss. He saw that Lian Chengyu's inner arm and thigh had split open. If Lian Chengyu was very powerful, he would not have been cooked to such a state.
"Young … Young master, if you cook any more … it will be cooked …" A lackey said hesitantly.
"Who asked you to add more fire!"
Lian Chengyu roared. His voice was like an angry lion.
Zhao Tiezhu had no choice but to add more fire as a group of lackeys fanned the fire.
The fire became hotter as the medicinal liquid began to bubble. The pot of medicine was boiling!
Even Lian Chengyu found it difficult to withstand the boiling water. Furthermore, his body had not absorbed much of the medicine's effects. Finally, he roared in anger as his body's Yuan Qi exploded.
"Boom!"
The barrel exploded, and the scorching hot medicinal liquid scattered in all directions!
"Ouch!"
The surrounding lackeys immediately cried out for their parents from the heat.
Thankfully, they were all wearing clothes. Although the medicinal liquid was still scalding on their clothes, the temperature had dropped significantly. Furthermore, they had thick skin, so they could endure it.
It was too f * * king hot.
But these lackeys were good at flattery. After all, Lian Chengyu was going to become a warrior of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. In the future, he might even be conferred a noble title in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. If they sucked up to Lian Chengyu, they would definitely prosper in the future.
So, including Zhao Tiezhu, a few lackeys ignored the burns on their bodies and threw themselves to the ground, saying loudly, "Congratulations Young master Lian for mastering the godly technique!"
Seeing Lian Chengyu explode the pot in an instant, Zhao Tiezhu and company thought that Lian Chengyu had broken through. If they didn't suck up to him now, when would they do so!
However … the expected scene of Lian Chengyu laughing and handing out rewards did not happen. On the contrary, Lian Chengyu's entire body was red, and his blood vessels were swelling. Because some of the flesh on his body had already split open, he looked extremely hideous.
"Scram!"
Lian Chengyu was exasperated. Without any warning, he kicked out, sending Zhao Tiezhu and the other lackeys tumbling on the ground.
Zhao Tiezhu was dumbfounded from the kick. His butt hurt like hell, but he did not dare make a sound. He did not know what had happened.
"All of you scram!"
Lian Chengyu roared. The few lackeys turned pale with fright and were about to scram.
Suddenly, Lian Chengyu waved his hand, "Come back!"
Lian Chengyu's expression was cold, "Bring me the herbal dregs!"
"Yes, yes!"
The lackeys did not dare to ask a word and scrambled away. Not long after, they returned with the herbal dregs, not daring to breathe.
Lian Chengyu flipped through the herbal dregs and asked about the process of brewing the medicine. His face turned uglier.
There was no problem with the dregs. Indeed, all kinds of good herbs had been used in it. In fact, even if the doctors of the big tribes came to examine it, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Who would have thought that there would be someone who had the ability to directly absorb the medicinal power of the herbs without using a secret method?
After seeing the herbal dregs, Lian Chengyu was certain that he had reached a bottleneck!
"Damn it!" Lian Chengyu punched the wall!
He had shown talent in martial arts when he was young. According to Yao Yuan, even in a large tribe, he would be one of the best.
If the problem was not him, then it was the Lian tribal clan's fault!
"The medicine given to me by the tribe is too lousy! Those young elites from the large family clans and factions are born with the best herbal fluids. They can even eat desolate bones. How can I compare to them!? "
Lian Chengyu clenched his fists. He hated himself for not being born into a wealthy family, but in such a desolate place.
"This poor Lian tribal clan has wasted seventeen years of my time! If I was born in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom royal family, I would have long reached the peak of the Purple Blood realm. I could even break through to a higher realm, and … and even participate in the battle for the throne of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom! "
Thinking of this, Lian Chengyu felt even more indignant. He hated the Lian tribal clan. Even if the Lian tribal clan used all their resources to nurture him, it was useless!
Why can't I be born in a royal family!
Why can't I enjoy everything!?
Their starting point is a place where I can't even look up! And I, am like a dog, climbing up with difficulty! I hate it!
"Someone!"
Lian Chengyu shouted. Zhao Tiezhu did not dare to be negligent. He bit the bullet and ran back, not even daring to breathe.
"Pass down my orders. Set up the cauldron and gather all the able-bodied men in the village. Begin refining the desolate bones!"
Zhao Tiezhu's heart jumped. It was finally beginning. He thought it would take a few more days. "Then the matter of the herbs …"
"Continue picking!"
Lian Chengyu's voice was indifferent. The Lian Clan Herb Mountain was the most precious place in the Lian tribal clan. The gathering of herbs had to be planned to prevent excessive harvesting of herbs.
But now, Lian Chengyu would be leaving the Lian tribal clan in a few months. The Lian Clan Herb Mountain no longer had any value to him, so he might as well use it.
Since he was at a bottleneck, the herbs did not have much effect on him, but it was better than nothing.
