Chapter 556: Chapter 529: Struck It Rich

Realizing he had said something he shouldn’t have, Li Chen coughed a few times awkwardly and was just about to speak when he heard Zhang Jing whisper softly, "I’m going to rest now."

"Mm, go ahead," Li Chen was also thinking about how to escape this awkward encounter, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Jing’s words.

Watching Zhang Jing’s retreating figure, a strange thought suddenly popped into Li Chen’s head, "I hadn’t noticed before, but that girl actually has really good kidney function."

Immediately afterward, Li Chen shook his head vigorously.

"Damn it, what am I thinking!"

He turned his head back and saw that the derelict inn had no one else around, the owner was also asleep.

Li Chen turned around and peered through the window that had been broken by a pack of wolves and not yet repaired, a contemplative look appeared in his eyes.

"Let’s go take a look."

The next moment, Li Chen’s figure abruptly vanished from the spot.

A shadow dashed past the window, swiftly leaving the inn, departing the small village and ultimately, this shadow darted into the dark, ink-like mountains.

When a group of college students woke up, they found that Li Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? Where’s Brother Cheen? Wasn’t he here last night?"

"Yeah, where did Brother Cheen go? I just went to his room, and there was no one there."

Hearing the group’s words, Zhang Jing remembered her encounter with Li Chen the night before.

Was it then that he left...

Meanwhile, Li Chen had already ventured deep into the mountains.

In this area, which fully retained the flavor of the Primitive Forest, naturally, there were especially many mosquitoes and insects.

But to Li Chen, this was no threat at all.

In the past, he had stayed in even more perilous forests while on missions, let alone a place like this.

He took out a small iron tin filled with a potion from his body.

Li Chen applied some potion on himself, and immediately, the mosquitoes dared not approach him anymore.

He ventured deep into the woods for a good distance, until the sky was already slightly brightening, and only then did Li Chen find a somewhat suitable place to rest.

In front of Li Chen was a valley, which, under the morning sun’s rays, appeared exceptionally bright throughout.

Seeing the scenery in the valley, Li Chen’s eyes gradually lit up.

And this brightness was progressing in a shimmering direction.

"This time, did I strike it rich?"

Li Chen wiped his mouth, muttering somewhat to himself.

What attracted him was not the scenery of the valley, but the things among the scenery.

"Dragon Saliva Ganoderma, Purple Light Grass, Sunwater Fruit..."

Li Chen had exceptionally good eyesight and immediately spotted a large patch of spiritual medicine.

Having grown up with four grandpas since childhood, although his main focus was on martial arts, because he had a grandpa skilled in medicine, Third Grandpa, Li Chen also recognized quite a few extraordinary medicines from between Heaven and Earth.

Even back then, he had been forced by Third Grandpa to learn them for a long time because he didn’t like them. Back in those days, Li Chen had often cursed Third Grandpa under his breath as an old geezer.

But at this moment, Li Chen felt incredibly grateful to his Third Grandpa, and even... his eyes were brimming with tears.

"This time, it’s really striking it rich!" Li Chen felt his salivary glands secreting rapidly again.

Without a second word, he crazily rushed towards the valley at the first moment.

Li Chen drooled, not because these medicines were tasty, on the contrary, most of these drugs tasted terribly bad, and some could even make one’s bile bitter.

But for him, taste was not important.

What mattered was that these things... were greatly nourishing!

He didn’t quite understand his own physical condition anymore. But undoubtedly, if he consumed these things, they would be incredibly beneficial to him.

According to Li Chen’s knowledge, many things here had even completely disappeared outside.

Encountering them was truly like a pie falling from the sky.

"Boiling Dragon Saliva Ganoderma and Rock Demon Tuber together makes them edible," Li Chen thought, as various pairings of medicines and their recipes continuously flashed through his mind.

About the combinations of various recipes, Third Grandpa had also told him, of course, the most important was the issue of medicinal properties.

Because the world had so many types of medicines, just remembering these medicines almost broke Li Chen’s brain, and if he tried to remember these complicated mixtures, by the time he finished, he would have grown a beard just like Third Grandpa.

And clearly, Third Grandpa understood this point, so he didn’t make Li Chen remember those recipes, but instead let him remember the medicinal properties.

Adhering to the maxim ’the more things change, the more they stay the same,’ once he remembered the medicinal properties of these drugs, combining them became much easier.

As a man with rich wilderness survival experience, for Li Chen, concocting these medicines was not difficult.

Before long, Li Chen had concocted a small bowl of medicinal soup with the tools he had on him.

Without waiting for the medicine to cool down, Li Chen impatiently swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ha—"

When the medicinal soup had fully entered his stomach, Li Chen distinctly felt waves of heat rising constantly from his lower abdomen.

"Man... That was a bit fierce."

The next moment, Li Chen suddenly stood up. He felt as if every pore in his body burst open at that moment, and everything around him appeared incredibly clear in his perception.

Gentle breezes, falling leaves.

"Ha!"

Feeling the heat continuing to warm up, Li Chen didn’t hesitate to launch into a series of fist techniques.

As Li Chen moved, clear footprints could even be seen where he stepped, demonstrating his immense strength at that moment.

This was because the strength of the medicine was too intense, and his body wasn’t in much of a depleted state, this sudden nourishment overwhelmed him a bit.

"Bang!"

One punch in the air could even send out a sonic boom.

At this moment, Li Chen used True Qi.

Because he felt that not only was his strength enhancing, even his True Qi seemed to be undergoing a mysterious change.

It was not only a simple change but also an amplification.

His True Qi had become stronger!

And it was not just a slight increase.

After Li Chen finished his series of punches, he suddenly opened his mouth, and actually spit out a mouthful of visibly clear white steam.

Turning his head again, Li Chen looked at the still unused medicines he had gathered, his eyes bursting with a startled brilliance.
