"I still find it strange. Why is Du Qingcheng worth your effort?"
Ding Ling was quite intrigued, but he kept up his act and spoke without revealing any emotion.
He liked beauties.
But he wasn’t a lustful spirit!
He wouldn’t be enchanted by a few words from Diao Chan to the point of losing his senses!
"We are sisters in training, and each other’s only family!"
Diao Chan said:
"If I were in trouble, she would save at all costs. The sa goes the other way!"
Ding Ling felt relieved.
At the sa ti, he began to ponder.
In the story.
Diao Chan and Du Qingcheng were on Lü Bu’s side, could it be because they were sisters in training?
Later, Du Qingcheng agreed to marry Cao ngde.
Maybe it was to save Diao Chan?
After all, Diao Chan was Lü Bu’s concubine!
And Lü Bu was hanged at White Gate Tower, as Lü Bu’s family, what good could beco of Diao Chan?
Du Qingcheng, to save Diao Chan, might even be willing to serve Thief Cao, which seems reasonable.
Ding Ling was extrely astonished.
He hadn’t expected such a strange story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms World!
If he hadn’t co to the Yuan Mansion, he might never have discovered the truth of this matter in his lifeti!
Indeed, many facts are often buried in places unknown to people.
Such is the case with Du Qingcheng and Diao Chan.
’Previously in Luoyang, I thought about going to witness the breathtaking beauty of Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, but now it seems, even if I went, what I’d see would surely be impostors! The real Diao Chan is right in front of . Even if there is a Diao Chan in Luoyang, wouldn’t she be a fake?’
Ding Ling then chatted with Diao Chan for a while longer.
He agreed to her request.
Diao Chan was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and could do laundry and cook, truly a good helper.
Previously, in Jizhou, Ding Ling thought about taking Zhao Xiaoyiu and Zhao Bingxuan with him.
But considering Zhao Bingxuan’s low Combat Power and Zhao Xiaoyiu’s ability only to defeat a few small thieves, Ding Ling gave up.
He wanted to take true masters!
He didn’t even want to take Zhao Feng, let alone Zhao Xiaoyiu.
However, having a woman help with cooking and laundry while traveling was indeed convenient.
Therefore, Ding Ling was naturally pleased.
Furthermore, Diao Chan was the world’s most beautiful woman! Ding Ling was also curious about her true appearance, and once they rescued Du Qingcheng, he figured he would have the chance to see her true face.
"You wait aside for now."
Ding Ling walked directly towards the shelf holding the Great dicine and looked over.
It was densely packed, and the shelf was filled with various exquisite wooden boxes.
There were labels on the shelf as well.
Hundred-year Great dicine!
Two hundred-year Great dicine!
Three hundred-year Great dicine!
...
And finally, the Thousand-year Great dicine!
"Even the Thousand-year Great dicine is here!"
Ding Ling’s breathing quickened. He took a closer look and found two boxes of the Thousand-year Great dicine.
He opened them.
One box was empty.
In the other box, there was a purple ginseng.
The ginseng had a form resembling a doll, translucent and extrely lively.
"This is what our Yuan Family acquired with trendous effort from outside the region. Hundreds died or were injured! In the end, my father obtained it by sheer luck and then treasured it here!"
Yuan Yao’s feelings were complicated. He knew he couldn’t keep the Great dicine, and although he felt heartache and reluctance, compared to his own life, re Great dicine was nothing.
Moreover.
To use the Great dicine, one must use a dicinal bath.
As long as Ding Ling let him go.
He would have a chance to reclaim these Great dicines!
How could he not seek revenge?
"Very good."
Ding Ling was very satisfied, and he imdiately had Diao Chan take Yuan Yao down to the second floor.
Diao Chan, although puzzled, nodded and escorted Yuan Yao down.
Ding Ling claid to have been taught by Hua Tuo, possessing exceptional dical Dao skills. Although Diao Chan was skeptical, she had no other options in this isolated place, so she could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
Moreover, Ding Ling, being highly skilled in Martial Arts and having an open heart, even returned the exquisite Divine Weapon Fish Guts Sword to her!
She had quite a high level of acceptance of him.
Although she did not fully trust Ding Ling, she had a fair amount of trust!
After Yuan Yao left.
Ding Ling first went to the area with Hundred-year Great dicine.
He opened box after box.
There were hundreds of them.
Without another word, he started eating.
He consud one plant after another.
Ginseng, reishi, Polygonum multiflorum, deer antler—there were many.
There were also so other Spirit Fruits, rare flowers, and herbs.
All of them were hundreds of years old.
Ding Ling devoured a full hundred portions.
[Strength 0.2]
[Defense 0.2]
[Strength 0.1]
[Defense 0.1]
...
After eating a hundred portions.
Ding Ling noticed the progress bar wasn’t moving.
His body also didn’t have a heating sensation.
Only with a heating sensation would there be a significant improvent in physical attributes.
It was usually like this in the past.
Unconvinced, Ding Ling ate another dozen or so plants, but the result was the sa.
He felt disappointed.
He thought to himself:
"Could it be that I’ve developed a resistance to the dicine? Or has my power advanced to a new level, making Hundred-year Great dicine useless for ?!"
He glanced at his Character Panel:
Strength: [Bone 1 (Normal human is 1 point), Wisdom 2 0.1 (2.1), Agility 22.3 0.1 0.4 0.3 (23.1), Constitution 21.7 0.6 0.1 0.3 (22.7), Charm 4 0.3 0.8 0.2 (5.3)]
After consuming over a hundred portions of Hundred-year Great dicine.
Ultimately:
[Strength 0.9]
[Defense 0.9]
Which makes the Defense: 20.1
Strength 26.6.
The Defense once again broke through the threshold.
Now Ding Ling had advanced to Super-Elite in agility, constitution, strength, and defense!
Especially with strength soaring to 26.6!
A whopping over 2,600 pounds of strength!
Combined with Human Emperor Swordsmanship and the Giant Que Sword, he was definitely a Demon God Level presence on the battlefield!
"Very good."
Ding Ling was quite satisfied.
He looked over at Zhao Yun.
Seeing Zhao Yun staring at him enviously, Ding Ling felt a sudden idea, telling Zhao Yun to quickly pack up all the Hundred-year Great dicines.
"You’re not eating them anymore?"
Zhao Yun asked in surprise.
"No effect anymore."
"..."
Zhao Yun was speechless.
Eating Hundred-year Great dicine to the point of no effect.
Did this Breathing Technique completely absorb and utilize the dicinal effects? How else would over a hundred plants be useless now?
Although he was puzzled, he was more envious.
Two major Breathing Technique Mastery, fully refining the power of the Great dicines!
The efficiency was extrely high and terrifying, not to ntion it maximized the use of dicinal power without any waste!
Ding Ling no longer concerned himself with the Hundred-year Great dicine.
He started eating the Two Hundred-year Great dicine.
Compared to the Hundred-year Great dicine.
The quantity of Two Hundred-year Great dicines drastically reduced.
There were only fifty plants.
Ding Ling consud them all.
[Strength 1]
[Defense 1]
Once the strength improved, the difficulty of increasing attribute points beca higher, and the drug resistance continued to increase.
Even the Two Hundred-year Great dicine didn’t enhance much.
In the past.
The Two Hundred-year Great dicine would have increased strength by more than 1 point.
Just like how Low-tier Martial Arts now doesn’t benefit Ding Ling much anymore.
The benefit was undeniable before.
Further improvent in strength:
Defense: 21.1
Strength: 27.6.
Ding Ling could clearly feel his skin, sinews, and internal organs becoming stronger!
Becoming tougher and more robust!
Previously, an arrow could easily penetrate skin and sinews.
Now it definitely wouldn’t be that easy!
"Continue."
Ding Ling walked towards the Three Hundred-year Great dicine area.
