Strength increased to 21.5.
A massive force of over two thousand pounds! Absolute divine power!
Defense increased to 13.3.
At this point, ordinary blows are already ineffective against him!
The speed of piercing damage repair will greatly increase!
"A single dose of Great dicine increased strength and defense by 1.2 each!"
Ding Ling was shaken, his thoughts began to diversify.
Originally, he didn’t have such a strong desire for Great dicine!
Because the dicinal herbs consud during bandit suppression didn’t provide much enhancent.
The effort in searching for herbs.
He might as well learn more martial arts! Those attribute points would accumulate rapidly and more effectively than consuming dicine, wouldn’t they?
But apparently, the Great dicine’s effect is quite good too.
This naturally brought different ideas to Ding Ling’s mind.
If he encounters a treasure vault in the future, he should probably dig through it! He can’t afford to miss it casually!
Ding Ling made a decision in his heart.
Zhao Yun watched as Ding Ling crunched away at a piece of Treasure dicine, following which his aura increased dramatically, he was astounded and envious:
"If I could eat directly like Brother Ding and freely absorb and refine the dicinal power, how wonderful would that be?"
Herbal baths not only consu ti, effort, and energy.
But also waste a lot of dicinal power!
Eating directly like this.
How refreshing?
Zhao Yun, who suffered through the hardships of herbal baths, understood their intricacies, which made him exceptionally envious.
"Then train well in the Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique. If you don’t understand anything, ask ."
Ding Ling smiled.
"Now that you ntion it, I forgot to ask you about the technique of voice changing."
Zhao Yun was curious:
"If I can master this voice-changing technique, doing so tasks to confuse or disrupt the enemy would beco much easier and more efficient, wouldn’t it?"
"That’s true indeed. I’ll teach you."
Ding Ling explained the voice change technique in detail.
He had full level broadcasting skill.
Thus, his explanation of the essence and principles was clear and easy to understand.
Zhao Yun, with his extraordinary talent and understanding—not necessarily unmatched across the Three Kingdoms but not far off—grasped the concept, yet truly mastering it was beyond him for the mont. In frustration, he admired Ding Ling even more.
Being versatile is fundantal.
Various mastered skills ca easily to him, countless and endless, never knowing what Ding Ling’s next hidden card might be!
So mysterious, so strong!
Moreover.
He was grateful for Ding Ling’s cooperation in disrupting Hu Zhen’s Legion that was harming the civilians, further elevating his esteem for Ding Ling!
He understood that if not for his request, Ding Ling might not have ddled; fundantally, Ding Ling wasn’t soone fond of interfering!
For this, Zhao Yun saw clearly.
All the more, he resolved to follow Ding Ling firmly!
Ding Ling knew nothing of this.
Otherwise, he would surely be delighted.
After all, gaining the allegiance of a rare genius like Zhao Yun is indeed a matter of imnse pride.
...
The two rode through the night.
Far away from the cri scene!
The next day.
In Yanshi City.
At Cloud Inn.
A window seat on the first floor.
Ding Ling and Zhao Yun were dining when suddenly they heard calls and the rapid sound of galloping hooves from the street.
Following the noise.
They saw a fierce General leading over a thousand cavalry charging through the street, ferocious and intimidating, as if ready to devour anyone in his path.
Passersby, travelers, and civilians hurriedly gave way, showing faces of fear.
Curious, Ding Ling summoned the innkeeper to inquire.
The innkeeper hesitated to speak, so Ding Ling offered so loose silver he had exchanged at the ancient city’s pawnshop that morning. All he had were large gold pieces, and everyday transactions still required silver, thus he exchanged so.
The innkeeper’s eyes lit up, taking the silver eagerly, biting it to confirm its authenticity, he then glanced around before whispering:
"Sir, you may not know. That General who just passed by is Li Jue, a favored General of the current Pri Minister!"
"Li Jue?"
Ding Ling raised an eyebrow.
Li Jue, styled Zhirang, was one of the warlords during the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a military official and powerful minister during Emperor Xian’s reign, holding the position of Grand Marshal and General of Cavalry.
After Dong Zhuo’s death, he and Guo Si joined forces, thoroughly crippling the already dying Great Han Dynasty.
It could be said.
If it wasn’t for their final devastation, the Great Han might have survived a little longer, but their involvent accelerated the dynasty’s demise several tis over.
Moreover, it seems Hu Zhen is his subordinate, and judging by his indulgence of Hu Zhen, this guy is definitely a ruthless and brutal person!
And now Li Jue’s urgent rush out of the city undoubtedly signals Hu Zhen’s incident.
Indeed.
The innkeeper whispered:
"It’s said that early today, rumors were circulating that General Hu Zhen was killed by two Wuming experts. Additionally, their main camp was thoroughly overturned! The two openly attacked the Pri Minister’s elite troops right under the Emperor’s gaze! This is nothing less than a slap in the Pri Minister’s face!
The Pri Minister will be furious!
General Li Jue will surely be reprimanded.
Besides, General Li Jue is Hu Zhen’s superior, soone audaciously killed General Hu Zhen under his watch and escaped, this is absolutely intolerable for him."
The innkeeper sighed:
"The world’s too chaotic. Assuming there’s no surprise, Yanshi City will soon be sealed off, starting to inspect the travelers coming and going. I see you both are outsiders and happened to be generals; if General Li Jue encounters you, there might be trouble. I advise you to eat and drink well, and quickly leave Yanshi City secretly.
To avoid unnecessary trouble!"
The innkeeper clearly knew Li Jue’s group’s way of doing things very well.
Out of appreciation for the silver, he revealed quite a lot of useful information to Ding Ling.
Money can make the devil turn the mill.
That says it all.
Ding Ling thanked the innkeeper.
After finishing with Zhao Yun, he bought so provisions and a jug of wine before decisively setting off on horseback.
Moreover, they planned to stay clear of Li Jue’s main troops.
Not out of fear of Li Jue.
But because they were getting closer and closer to Luoyang.
If a conflict really occurs.
His grand plan of learning martial arts might be dashed!
He planned to wait until he had mastered martial arts before dealing with anything else!
Right now, he truly didn’t want to cause trouble!
Zhao Yun clearly understood Ding Ling’s thoughts and didn’t say much more, though he deeply sympathized with the civilians’ plight along the way.
He also disliked the arrogance and tyranny of Li Jue’s Great Army.
But on his own, how many could he save?
He seems to have grasped this point, contemplating how to bring peace to the world, secure the people’s livelihood.
Thump, thump!
Only after leaving Yanshi City did the two breathe a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere of war and slaughter in Yanshi City was intensely saturated, highly oppressive!
Even as strong as they were, they didn’t like staying in such a place.
And nearly half an hour after they left.
Yanshi City was sealed.
This was sothing Ding Ling heard travelers ntion.
Ding Ling silently thought he was fortunate.
If he hadn’t bribed the innkeeper, he might have missed the best timing to leave the city, and then got tangled up with Li Jue’s army’s unnecessary trouble, a real conflict might have occurred.
