Chapter 1002: Chapter 974: Go with the Flow

To Li Chen, this discovery was like picking up a priceless treasure by the roadside.

Or perhaps like being struck by a gold pie falling from the sky.

Right now, the thing that worries him the most is stuff like medicine.

Although Li Chen has been meticulously studying martial arts since he was young, his Third Grandpa didn’t hesitate to push him to study pharmacology.

As a result, he is now well-versed in the names of those herbs. He even remembers the combinations and refining methods of various medicines.

Even though he lacks the medical skills of his Third Grandpa and Ouyang Wan’er, in terms of alchemy alone, he can be considered adept.

Seeing these things, for some reason, a strange thought popped into Li Chen’s mind.

Back then, when he went to the Miao Village, he discovered quite a few good things.

Even now, those things are probably still buried in the place where he initially hid them.

However, compared to the herbs he discovered in the Miao Village, these medicines right before him are of a completely different caliber.

Indeed, these are heavenly.

Without a word, Li Chen even used True Qi, starting to collect frantically.

When he returned to the riverbed once again, his clothes were stuffed with a pile of spiritual medicine.

Bare-chested, Li Chen sat by the river, holding a tree branch cut with True Qi in hand. After some thought, he took a thread from his clothes and tied it to the branch, making a simple fishing rod.

Sitting by the river, Li Chen calmly embraced the branch and counted his harvest this time.

"I’ve hit the jackpot this time. With the help of these things, it won’t be long before I fully recover." Li Chen chuckled to himself.

Although his body is still somewhat numb, Li Chen knows it’s because his blood has been stagnant for too long, so his body can’t recover quickly.

Since waking up, Li Chen found that the blood in his body seemed to have become much thicker, and even its flow was extremely difficult.

Yet, he also noticed something unusual.

His recovering body seemed to have gained considerably more strength.

Even though only a small portion was restored, this small portion of his body felt more powerful than when he was at the Profound Level Peak.

And it’s not just a little bit.

"Let’s not worry about this for now. I’ll explore the specifics of my body once my True Qi fully recovers." After counting his gains, Li Chen set these thoughts aside.

At this moment, the simple fishing rod in Li Chen’s hand twitched.

With a flick of his hand, a large fish flipped over, showing its white belly as it landed on the shore.

Its tail flapped frenziedly, full of vigor.

"Indeed, the environment shapes the inhabitants; even the fish are so lively in a place so rich with Spiritual Energy." Li Chen couldn’t help but remark.

Lighting a fire, Li Chen skewered the fish with a stick to roast it.

In fact, according to Li Chen’s plan, he wanted to use herbs to make a pot of medicinal fish soup, but the embarrassing thing is, he doesn’t have enough materials to do so.

Not even a pot... he doesn’t have one either.

"Well, let’s just make do for now. We can worry about this later." Li Chen was indeed laid-back, quickly putting these issues out of his mind.

As a man with rich wilderness survival experience, even in the dangerous Amazon Jungle teeming with wild animals and venomous insects, Li Chen could stroll carefree, let alone in such a tranquil environment.

"What a pity, if only I had some salt." Li Chen lamented as he gnawed on the grilled fish.

From the moment he awoke until now, Li Chen has somewhat adapted to the circumstances.

Since he couldn’t return to Huaxia in the short term, the best he could do now is try his strongest to recover his power.

Though unsure of where this place is, Li Chen believes he will eventually find his way back.

"Mr. Li Chen..."

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

Li Chen turned to look and discovered that, unknown to him, Cherie was standing over there, seemingly holding something in her hands.

"Cherie? What are you doing here?" Li Chen frowned as he looked over.

It’s not that he disliked Cherie; he just knew that Kalin Village was rather tense now, and many people in the village were somewhat displeased with him. Cherie’s personality is too straightforward—she handles everything herself, not wanting him to know.

That’s precisely why Li Chen suggested going out on his own.

He didn’t expect Cherie to find him so quickly.

Seeing Li Chen chewing on grilled fish, Cherie was taken aback.

She thought that Li Chen’s body hadn’t recovered and that he couldn’t possibly survive alone, so she specifically brought food over, not expecting that since leaving Kalin Village, Li Chen seemed to be doing quite well.

"Mr. Li Chen..."

Hearing Cherie’s address, Li Chen awkwardly waved his hand: "I’ve told you countless times, don’t call me Mr., it sounds weird. It seems I should be a bit older than you; just call me Brother Cheen."

"Brother... Brother Cheen." Cherie’s face flushed when she heard Li Chen’s words.

Upon seeing Li Chen’s bare upper body, her face turned even redder.

For some unknown reason, Li Chen discovered after waking up that not only had his injuries healed, but even some old scars from previously healed wounds had vanished completely.

Now, his skin was so good that even Cherie, a girl, couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

However, his evenly toned muscles proved that he wasn’t some frail scholar. This made Cherie particularly curious about how Li Chen maintained such a good physique and skin.

"Cherie! Cherie?"

After staring for quite a while, Cherie finally snapped back to realization, noticing that Li Chen was actually calling her. Her already flushed face was now even redder.

"I got lost staring at his physique! My goodness! What will he think of me?" Cherie felt mortified, almost wanting to find a hole and hide inside.

"Have something to eat. This fish is fresh, just caught." Li Chen handed the other half of the grilled fish on the grill to Cherie.

It’s worth mentioning that Li Chen’s cooking skills were quite exceptional. Although the fish had no seasoning, it was grilled to perfection — crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with all its oils drawn out, making it exceedingly appetizing.

Cherie, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel her appetite stirred.

"The grill is just right, but if there were salt, it would be even better." Watching Cherie eat with relish, Li Chen sighed.

"Salt?" Cherie paused: "Salt isn’t considered rare in the village, if you need it, Brother Cheen, I can get some for you."

"How kind of you!" Li Chen scratched his head and laughed, but there wasn’t a hint of reluctance on his face.
