Chapter 71 Huge Gains
Inside Zhou Hongling's tent, Lu Yuan had removed his upper armor, revealing muscles as hard as steel. The wound on his shoulder had stopped bleeding and, thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities, had even begun to scab over.
However, the physician was still called over to clean his wounds, apply wound medicine, and bandage them.
Seeing that Lu Yuan's condition had stabilized, he took his leave.
After the other person disappeared into the tent, only the two of them remained in the room.
Zhou Hongling opened the box that Zhao Yu and the others had brought.
There were indeed quite a few things inside.
She glanced at Lu Yuan.
She said to him, "These are all rare and precious materials needed for the Refining Realm. You can take them all back later, but be careful when consuming them. If too much medicinal power accumulates, your foundation will become unstable."
Lu Yuan nodded, but he didn't take the reminder to heart.
For others, this might be a drawback, but not for him; all the medicinal effects are converted into proficiency by the system.
Therefore, taking more will not affect the foundation.
Then, a guard came in and placed various kinds of food on the table.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? This was specially prepared for you. Eat up." Zhou Hongling's voice was unusually gentle.
Lu Yuan didn't notice any of this. He glanced at the various delicacies served up, as well as the large amount of medicinal herbs inside.
They picked up their chopsticks and began to wolf down their food.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Zhou Hongling took out a jar of medicinal wine and said, "This is something I brought from home. It's very beneficial for cultivation. You should drink it too."
Lu Yuan glanced at it; this jar of wine was also something beneficial for cultivating the mind.
After glancing at Zhou Hongling, he said, "You're very kind, sir."
Then, he grabbed the wine jar and drank it down in large gulps.
A large amount of alcohol was poured into his stomach, and a wave of heat instantly spread throughout his body.
While this medicinal wine may not be as potent as rare and precious herbs, it is far more effective than ordinary elixirs.
She knew in her heart that this must have been specially brought for her by Zhou Hongling.
After finishing a table full of food and drinking a jar of wine.
Lu Yuan patted his belly and said with satisfaction, "Thank you for all this delicious food, sir."
"Just eat well. The army will set off early tomorrow morning, so you don't need to come along. Rest in the camp. Since we're facing the Yan King's army this time, not the main force of the Northern Barbarians, the battle shouldn't be too difficult."
"My lord, this will not do. As your commander of a thousand-man guard, how can I stay in the camp while you are on your campaign? Besides, although they are the Prince of Yan's army, judging from the strictness of their camp and the completeness of their military formation, their strength must be considerable. My lord, you must not let your guard down." Lu Yuan said solemnly.
He certainly didn't want to miss out on the experience of this large-scale battle.
This will be of great benefit to me when I lead troops in the future.
"Are you really capable?" In fact, Zhou Hongling also wanted him to perform better on the battlefield, because that would earn him more recognition from the family. However, she was worried that he had just returned and might not have the energy to keep up on the battlefield, so she let him rest.
"No problem," Lu Yuan said.
Zhou Hongling nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Come out with me for a moment."
After saying that, he walked outside.
Lu Yuan followed closely behind, and a moment later the two arrived at a stable.
Zhou Hongling pointed to a warhorse and said, "This Crimson Scale Horse is yours from now on."
Lu Yuan looked over and saw a warhorse covered in red scales eating something. In addition to hay, there was also a lot of minced meat in the manger.
This horse is over three meters long, nearly four meters, and two meters tall.
Its strong muscles were covered with a layer of red scales, and its eyes shone with a greenish luster.
"The Red-Scaled Horse is a royal horse bestowed by the palace. Apart from the Imperial Guards, only the marquis's mansions stationed on the frontier have some. I obtained this one from the Marquis. It can carry ten thousand catties and travel a thousand miles a day. It is especially convenient for charging into battle and killing enemies."
Your armor and weapons are quite heavy now; ordinary warhorses cannot carry them.
Zhou Hongling patted the tall warhorse track in front of her.
"Thank you, sir." Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. His current armor and weapons were indeed quite heavy, and an ordinary warhorse would probably be exhausted if he wore them.
"No need to thank me, you deserve it. Go back and rest, we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!"
After Lu Yuan responded, he withdrew, but instead of returning, he went to Zhou He's tent.
Although the opposing team was not injured in the battle, they were exhausted.
I'm already in bed, but I haven't fallen asleep yet.
"The army is setting off tomorrow, are you going?"
Lu Yuan asked this question as soon as he entered.
Zhou He jumped up with a start: "Go! How can we not go? Now is the time to earn military merits. When will we have such a good opportunity again?"
"Alright, then have the other centurions immediately begin learning the 'One-Character Long Snake Formation' that I taught you, and then pass it on to their respective subordinates. It would be best if they could go to the battlefield before the war starts."
Several centurions have already mastered the "Soaring Cloud Crane Wing Formation," and now that they have mastered the "One-Character Long Snake Formation," they should be even more secure on the battlefield.
Lu Yuan had never witnessed the power of a thousand men arrayed in formation.
I wonder how strong the effect will be.
However, he knew in his heart that the more people involved in the formation, the better the effect.
"I'll go right away." Although Zhou He usually likes to joke around, he is very responsible on important occasions.
After he left.
Lu Yuan then returned to his own tent.
At this time, weapons, armor, and the rare and precious materials that Zhou Hongling had won back were all delivered.
The latter, in particular, has two of almost everything.
For example, there are two rare and precious treasures for refining the mind.
In addition to the Lotus Heart Fruit that Lu Yuan had obtained earlier, he now has three items.
Moreover, medicines for strengthening the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are also available.
At least, I won't have to worry about refining spiritual materials anymore.
Next, he opened the panel data to check his gains on the battlefield over the past two days. If possible, he planned to break through to the Heart Refinement stage as soon as possible.
Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 17
[Cultivation Technique: Rank 3 Cultivation Technique "Wind and Thunder Slaying General Blade Technique" (7182/10000 Great Success)]
[The third-grade martial art, "Tiger Subduing Stance," refines the mind (5923/30000, perfected)]
[Third-grade martial arts technique "Primordial Golden Bell Cover" (1948/1000 Minor Success, breakthrough possible?)]
[Second-grade formation "One-Character Long Snake Formation" (1431/1000 Minor Success, Breakthrough Needed?) Additional Effects: Increased Defense, Entangling Kill]
[First-grade martial arts technique "Wind Chasing Arrow Technique" (60135/50000 entry stance, should we use 10,000 proficiency to deduce it?)]
Looking at the panel data in my mind.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied.
Although this battle was difficult, I gained a lot.
After improving my strength, my combat power should increase even further, and I'll be more confident when I go to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Breakthrough."
