Chapter 116: 【094】Immortal on the Cliff

The door closed, and Wang Longhu carefully opened the bag, revealing a yellowing bone inside, which seemed to be a large bone from some wild beast.

"What does this mean? Giving me a bone?" Wang Longhu was utterly puzzled.

Without thinking too much, he casually tossed it onto the table.

Just as Wang Longhu was about to pick up the "Child Practicing Skill" book for a read, there was a sudden knock on the door, leaving Wang Longhu quite baffled.

Upon opening the door, he saw a man with an honest face standing outside, holding a glass jar with both hands, carefully handing it over to Wang Longhu.

"Hello, this is a gift from our boss for you. This wine is very beneficial for martial artists, enhancing the blood and Qi, hoping you’ll accept it with a smile," the man chuckled.

Inside the jar were at least dozens of large centipedes longer than chopsticks, each with a red head, golden legs, and a large black back, making it look not simple at first glance.

Wang Longhu’s eyes lit up; he had previously asked Zheng Dongliang to help order some medicinal wine, and this was exactly what he wanted.

Centipede-infused wine is an ancient method, which can promote blood circulation, reduce bruising, relieve pain and detoxify, and increase the body’s immunity. For martial artists, it also benefits the meridians and muscles.

The value of this jar is genuinely high.

"Who’s your boss?" Wang Longhu hurriedly asked.

"Wu Hujie, we came here together from Gan Province to work," the man replied with a silly smile.

Wang Longhu immediately understood that Zheng Dongliang had already explained the situation to him. The Northern Gang is a group led by Zhang Jinbao.

Wu Hujie is from Gan Province, practicing Character Gate Fist, and the local fellow worker gang is headed by Huang Ao.

So, it turns out the foreman the old lady mentioned earlier is indeed Huang Ao.

"Why are you giving me wine?" Wang Longhu asked, puzzled.

"Our boss wants to get acquainted with you; he said if you have any difficulties in the factory, just let us know, and we’ll do our utmost to help you. Moreover, our boss wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow; I wonder if you’re free," the man replied.

Wang Longhu smiled; although he was only 25 years old, he had worked for a few years and had a sharp insight.

It’s likely that both groups had heard about him defeating Zhang Jinbao, hence visiting late at night to make friendly ties.

Wang Longhu was naturally pleased with this; he didn’t want to encounter another situation like those two oblivious young punks arrogantly provoking him again during the day.

Minor characters would only irk him.

Now that he had made a name for himself, his reputation would deter those who lack vision from causing trouble in the future.

"Acquaintance is fine; as for dinner, let’s talk about it later. I came here intending to keep a low profile. Please thank your boss for his gift," Wang Longhu said, holding the glass jar with gratitude.

"Alright, alright, I won’t disturb your rest, then; I’ll be going now."

"Oh, wait, since you’re here, have a cup of this good stuff too," Wang Longhu called out to him, fetching a paper cup from his room and filling it with centipede wine for him.

These days, one must be cautious; even though centipede wine is a good thing, Wang Longhu dared not drink recklessly when unfamiliar with the gift-giver.

After all, this place was in the mountains, with no rules, unlike Dong County, where he could freely drink the Tiger Bone Wine offered by Ye Yuanpei.

Dark Force, though powerful, couldn’t counteract poison.

Watching the man excitedly accept the cup and happily drink, Wang Longhu closely observed his expression until the man emptied the cup before feeling at ease.

He had poured a large quantity into the cup, making it impossible to hide in the mouth; the man would unquestionably have to swallow it, with no exceptions.

"Exhilarating! You’re quite a kind young brother. You have no idea how precious this wine is with our boss. We usually can’t even get a sip, but tonight, thanks to you, I indulged well," the man said, rubbing his belly, his face glowing with satisfaction.

Standing at the door, they chatted for over ten minutes. If the wine were poisoned, it would have shown symptoms by now.

Once he confirmed there was indeed no poison, Wang Longhu dismissed the now-chatty man and closed the door without hesitation, ready to enjoy the jar of centipede wine alone.

"Centipede wine is a great supplement, but I wonder how it compares to the Tiger Bone Wine at Ye Yuanpei’s house," Wang Longhu mused.

He fetched himself a new paper cup and filled it to the brim, sipping and savoring at leisure.

...

Purple light came from the east, and dawn had arrived.

With a book in his arms, Wang Longhu abruptly opened his eyes and sprang up from the bed, landing steadily on the ground.

[Name: Wang Longhu]

[Strength: 2.05]

[Constitution: 2.72]

[Spirit: 1.00]

[Skills: Basic Fitness Lv3 (100/300), Three-Body Form Lv5 (Perfect: Stable Lower Base, Difficult to Move), Xingyi Boxing Lv4 (120/400), Lightweight Skill Lv3 (220/300), Baji Fist Lv2 (120/200), Child Practicing Skill Lv1 (10/100)]

[Potential Points: 0]

"This trip to Min Province was definitely worthwhile."

Looking at his status panel, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but joyfully reflect.

Last night, he drank a third of the jar of centipede wine alone, gaining a total of 0.32 potential points.

The conversion rate was incredibly high, exceeding even the nutrition from abalone and sea cucumber in every meal, showing just how potent this jar of centipede wine truly was.

If he could gather dozens of jars more, Wang Longhu wouldn’t even need to train in martial arts anymore; he could traverse the world relying solely on his physique.

However, Wang Longhu understood well that the potency of this centipede wine was because it was a rare item. Each centipede in the jar could be considered a king among centipedes, explaining its formidable efficacy. If it were ordinary centipede-infused wine, it certainly wouldn’t have such a strong effect.
