Mo Jiang exhaled a long breath, and the white steam, like a scorching sword aura, carried away the pain from his body.
The meridians have been widened to three times their previous size. At the same time, seven acupoints, including Huiyin, Qugu, Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shimen, Qihai, Yinjiao, and Shenque, have been opened up, becoming important storage points for internal energy.
If we take the total amount of internal energy of Mo Jiang during the first twelve-meridian cycle as the standard, we set it to 0.1.
At this point, Mo Jiang's total internal energy reached a value of 2.8.
One small pill is equivalent to three months of practice.
Moreover, during these three months, the reference point was not someone else, but Zhang Wuji.
With Zhang Wuji's talent, three months would be enough time to master the first volume of the four volumes of the Nine Yang Manual.
"If the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is so effective, I wonder what the Greater Rejuvenation Pill can achieve?"
"How about we go back and ask Wanji if we can get a Great Rejuvenation Pill..."
Mo Jiang shook his head abruptly, banishing the idea from his mind. Not to mention that the Shaolin Great Rejuvenation Pill is a precious pill that only the abbot is qualified to use, and it is extremely difficult to refine. Unless the abbot gives it away voluntarily, there is basically no history or possibility of it leaking out.
Judging from his current experience of almost bursting after eating a small elixir, if he dares to eat a large elixir, his body will probably explode in his face.
As the Nine Yang Internal Force circulated in his palm, Mo Jiang could clearly see the air in his palm distorting noticeably.
Mo Jiang could clearly feel that if he put in a little more force, it was not impossible for flames to erupt from his palm.
"So the [Burning] trait in the game really means you can be engulfed in flames?"
In the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the Nine Yang Divine Skill has two effects: one is to restore a large amount of health, and the other is to grant the "burning" property.
Mo Jiang guessed that although the methods of practicing the Nine Yang Manual were different, once Zhang Wuji mastered the Nine Yang Manual, he would most likely be able to transform his internal energy into fire, just like him.
It just means the consumption will be very high.
Mo Jiang stood still, his mind divided as he controlled the Nine Yang Internal Force to circulate in a great cycle.
Although a failure in the Zhou Tian Great Cycle would mean wasting half a day's work, Mo Jiang's current internal energy level gives him the margin for error.
At the same time, with each cycle of the Great Circulation, the Nine Yang Internal Force absorbs and digests the residual medicinal power of the marigold in Mo Jiang's body, preventing the medicinal power from accumulating too much in the body and forming toxins.
Perhaps because of some connection between internal energy and spiritual power, Mo Jiang could also sense that after absorbing the medicinal power of the marigold, the Nine Yang Internal Energy seemed to have gained something.
The feeling was like a blooming marigold.
Mo Jiang discovered through internal vision that each circulation of the Nine Yang Internal Force was repairing damage to the meridians and some minor, barely noticeable wounds in the body.
Seeing this, Mo Jiang's expression was strange. "After the internal energy and spiritual energy became connected, the Nine Yang internal energy absorbed the medicinal power of the marigold, leading to..."
After pondering for a while, Mo Jiang gave his observation with some disbelief, "...causing the effects of the calendula potion to be partially solidified in my body to some extent?"
what is this?
A combination of martial arts and alchemy professions?
What kind of brand new profession is this?
62. If there's no panel, make one yourself.
Five days later, a burst of laughter suddenly came from inside the wooden house.
"Hahahaha, I actually managed to make it! I'm a genius!"
Looking at what was displayed on his retina, Mo Jiang couldn't suppress the smile that appeared on his lips.
Name: Mo Jiang
[Physique: 2.0]
【Spirit: 2.2】
[Internal Strength: 2.8]
Yes, what appeared in front of Mo Jiang at this moment was a panel.
The panel is visible only to him.
This was not a belated stroke of genius, but rather the result of his painstaking efforts over the past five days.
The ability to create this panel is primarily due to the effects of the Archer's Potion.
While the Shooter's Potion appears to improve shooting skills, the extraordinary level of the Shooter's Potion essentially weakens the brain's shielding of complex information from various parts of the body, enhances various sensory abilities, and ultimately uses mental power to calculate this complex information.
The reason why the crosshairs and various ballistic calculations appear in Mo Jiang's eyes is entirely because Mo Jiang has the concept and knowledge in this area, and ultimately, his mental power visualizes these complex calculation results in Mo Jiang's eyes.
If someone in the Middle Ages were to take the "Archer's Potion," others would see it as nothing more than a vague and intangible "feel for arrows."
Over the past few days, Mo Jiang has been taking large amounts of the [Archer Potion] to reduce the brain's shielding against complex bodily information, while simultaneously using his mental power to process and calculate various complex data.
It is precisely because the Nine Yang Internal Force has a certain connection with spiritual power that it can absorb the effects of certain medicines.
It was this feature that gave Mo Jiang the idea to use the [Archer's Potion] to create a panel.
After forming a connection with the Nine Yang Internal Force, the improvement of the Nine Yang Internal Force and physical fitness also led to the improvement of Mo Jiang's mental strength, reaching a value of 2.2.
The three attributes seem to be independent of each other, but in fact they are interconnected.
As physical fitness improves, internal strength and mental power will also be enhanced.
Only a strong physique can contain a powerful spirit.
The same applies to other attributes; it will lead to an increase in other attributes.
Using mental energy as a central calculator to process various bodily information, it ultimately forms a visual panel in Mo Jiang's eyes.
The values above are also based on the figures of Mojiang using itself as the standard.
This panel is more like a 24/7 health monitoring device than a gold finger.
As Mo Jiang circulated his internal energy throughout his body, the second page appeared on the panel.
A real-time monitoring of a person's body is like a CT scan, showing the functioning status of all muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs.
"Well, I've become a human CT scanner."
Although it can only monitor itself and its accuracy is somewhat inferior to that of hospital equipment, it is still worth paying attention to in Mojiang.
At least any internal injuries can be detected in time.
At the very least, it can save you two or three hundred yuan for each CT scan.
The panel continues to generate a third page, this time showing real-time monitoring of Mo Jiang's meridians and acupoints throughout his body.
The circulation of internal energy, the widening of meridians, and the opening of acupoints all appeared clearly before my eyes.
With real-time monitoring of meridians and acupoints, Mo Jiang estimated that his Nine Yang Divine Skill would improve faster in the future.
After all, for him, accurate numbers were easier to understand than all sorts of vague Buddhist and Taoist metaphors.
"This panel is less of a cheat code and more of a visualization system of me."
The computer named "Mojiang" was equipped with an operating system called "Panel," just like Windows.
I wonder if I'll be able to access [Mojiang's] system logs once my mental strength increases.
He was still quite curious about what it felt like before he was born.
……
Not long after, Henry's voice came from outside the cabin, informing them that Raddy had returned.
Henry did not enter the cabin. Mo Jiang had once told the four boys very seriously that if his cabin door was closed, they were absolutely not allowed to break in.
Even if there's something that needs to be reported, you only need to say it outside.
This is because he is worried that one day when he is meditating or cultivating, the teenagers will suddenly barge in and cause him to go astray.
While returning to the modern warehouse would obviously be safer, the time difference is a problem.
Here, one can obviously gain more time for cultivation.
After tidying up, Mo Jiang set off for the castle to find Radji.
Little did anyone know that the first post on U705.COM by IX Lin Si Liu Qi baI>I *Ba Deji was not inside the castle, but was waiting for Mo Jiang outside the castle.
As soon as he got close, Mo Jiang's gaze was drawn to the dark figure beside Radji as if by a magnet. It wasn't Radji, but a living war sculpture standing next to him.
It was a pure black European heavy warhorse (destrier) foal.
Judging solely by its shoulder height, it has now astonishingly reached the threshold of 1.5 meters, far exceeding that of ordinary foals of the same age.
What's even more terrifying is its imposing skeleton. Smooth and sturdy lines outline its shape, and distinct muscle blocks cover the skeleton like cooled black steel, steadily accumulating terrifying power.
Those deep, horse-like eyes concealed a wildness and alertness beneath their docile exterior.
This is a war behemoth in its growth stage. From Mo Jiang's perspective, once this foal matures, it will be an imperial horse with a jet-black coat and majestic appearance, just like the Black King in Fist of the North Star.
Its mere existence is enough to terrify any opponent.
This is a gift, presented by Wenceslaus IV to his new governor of the royal domain.
"This is the foal born from the purest and strongest warhorse in the entire royal bloodline. Your Majesty believes that only it is qualified to become your warhorse."
Radji stepped aside, allowing the owner of the foal to get a closer look at his future mount.
"A foal that's only six months old and has just been weaned, perhaps you should give it a name."
"Heavenly Tribulation." Mo Jiang stretched out his hand, and the foal gently licked his palm with its tongue. "Heavenly Tribulation Warhorse."
After playing with the foal for a while, Mo Jiang finally asked, "So, what are His Majesty's requests?"
Mojiang knew very well that, given Wenceslaus IV's stinginess with money, the best that batch of gifts would achieve was, at best, make Wenceslaus IV the governor of Mojiang's royal domain.
This drunken king even reciprocated with a horse, a purebred warhorse used exclusively by the royal family, which was worth more than a castle.
If the drunken king, who had a history of robbing his own nobles, had sent such a large gift, Mo Jiang would rather believe Sigismund had died suddenly yesterday if he had no other requests.
"After His Majesty obtained the goods, he held a banquet with the nobles. After the banquet, many nobles are now re-evaluating their current stance."
"So His Majesty needs more..."
Perhaps knowing that what he said made no sense, even Radji's voice was several octaves lower at this moment, "It would be best to provide enough for eight banquets a month."
Eight times?!
Aren't you fucking afraid that drunkard will develop cirrhosis of the liver?!
Mo Jiang immediately realized that this was just an excuse from the drunken king to get more supplies and hold a banquet for pleasure.
The author says:
Author's note: Thank you to [Seaside] and [Secondary Silver Wing] for their generous donations.
63. Nod for yes, shake your head for no, and go go go!
Holding eight banquets in a month—in Mojiang's worldview, that's practically a recipe for cirrhosis.
"Don't you have any intention of trying to persuade His Majesty?"
Mojiang has the supplies for holding eight banquets a month, but it doesn't want to give them away, nor is it necessary to.
Given Wenceslaus IV's temperament, if the supplies were actually given, he might very well demand ten banquets every month within two months, requiring Mojiang to continue providing them.
He's not stupid; why would he spend a fortune on Wenceslaus IV?
Even if it's wholesale, it can still be a lot of money if you buy in large quantities.
“I tried to persuade him.” Radji pointed to the Heavenly Calamity Warhorse beside him, his meaning clear.
If he hadn't spoken up for him, Wenceslaus IV might not have intended to return the greeting.
This made Mo Jiang frown. He was thinking about whether Wenceslaus IV knew what the supplies he provided represented, and what he represented to Wenceslaus IV.
But after some thought, Mo Jiang felt that the drunken king most likely didn't know.
If he had truly been aware of that, he wouldn't have been dragged off the throne of the Holy Roman Emperor.
"Alright, I'll try to provide as many supplies as possible." Out of consideration for the Heavenly Tribulation Warhorse, Mo Jiang decided to increase his investment. "How much of the supplies left after that?"
He had Radji send over a considerable amount of supplies, so he inquired about the amount consumed at one of Wenceslaus IV's banquets.
Upon hearing this question, Radji gave a rare, embarrassed smile. "We've used it all up. His Majesty hosted a banquet for many nobles and bishops..."
What a damn spendthrift! He doesn't care about the money he spends on this stuff, does he?
Mo Jiang almost couldn't hold back and started cursing at Radji. He knew exactly how much supplies he had sent; enough to last the drunken king for more than a month. Now he was being told that the drunken king had used it all up at one banquet.
