I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"Several...billions?"

Zhuang Shuai swallowed hard, feeling his throat go dry. Poverty had stifled his imagination!

Eating billions in one bite?
If he ate a few more bites, wouldn't he be able to devour the richest man in Wucheng?
In fact, that is indeed the case if we look at the price set by the Great Xia Martial Arts Administration.

In reality, Jiang He didn't spend a single penny on these resources; they were all obtained by exchanging [merit points].

Clutching the 100 yuan, he stumbled out of the inpatient department. As a fourth-rank martial artist, it was no problem for him to go out and buy a few drinks in the middle of the night. In less than 10 minutes, he returned with a plastic bag carrying six or seven bottles of drinks.

He still had a few dozen yuan left in his hand.

Give the drink and change to Jiang He.

Jiang He said, "Take the money; consider it your travel expenses."

Nima!

Zhuang Shuai said he didn't need it, but in his heart he was thinking, "Eating up billions in one go, and only giving a few dozen dollars in tips... Who do they think they are?"

next moment……

Jiang He waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen pills.

"Take these pills and eat them."

Zhuang Shuai reacted quickly, grabbing the pill. He was so excited he almost jumped up, but said modestly, "No, no, Mr. Jiang, I only helped you run errands and bought you a few drinks. I can't accept such a generous gift. This Marrow Refining Pill is worth 500 million each. How could I possibly be worthy of it?"

500 million each!
Mr. Jiang gave me more than a dozen?

This isn't just a fellow patient, this is his own father!
Jiang He: "You're overthinking it. I only have 2000 Marrow Refining Pills left. How could I bear to give them to you? These are Bone Tempering Pills, the rest of what I had left. They cost 20 each when I bought them. It would be a shame to throw them away..."

Zhuang Shuai: "..."

Ok!

Although it didn't have the same surprise as before, it was still a Bone Tempering Pill!

One pill costs 20, so these dozen or so pills would cost more than 300 million.

He happily accepted the pills and stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Jiang, um... is there anything else I can do for you? Would you like me to massage your back? Or rub your legs? Oh, and would you like to wash your feet? I'll get you some hot water."

Jiang He: "Get lost, I need to cultivate, don't bother me!"

Zhuang Shuai: "Alright... Mr. Jiang, I snore and grind my teeth when I sleep... Here's what we'll do: you can cultivate in the ward, and I'll spend the night in the corridor outside. I promise I won't disturb you."

It was already getting cold in Wucheng in November.

The key issue is that the heating wasn't even turned on in early November.

Especially late at night, the temperature in the corridor is very low, icy cold.

Fortunately, Zhuang Shuai was a fourth-rank martial artist, so he was relatively resistant to the cold. After circulating his true energy for several cycles, he actually felt warm all over. Just then, a "creak" sound came...

Zhuang Shuai turned his head to look.

Then, the old man from the next room, 208, who liked to wear a white coat and pretend to be a doctor, came out, came to his side, looked him up and down, and said, "You're the new patient in 207?"

Zhuang Shuai nodded.

The old man said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lao Wang. I am a doctor at this hospital. After retiring, in order to study how to better communicate with patients and how to cure patients' illnesses and anxieties, I chose to pretend to be a patient and stay in the inpatient department."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shuai's expression immediately turned one of deep respect!

This doctor...

That's truly amazing!
He immediately showered her with praise.

Old Wang adjusted his glasses with a serious expression and chuckled, "Look at you, all yellowish and unkempt, you're actually quite good-looking. How did you get sick? Come on, let's go to my ward, I'll give you an injection..."

Within 207.

Jiang He, who was taking "Marrow Cleansing Pills" at the time, couldn't help but chuckle.

That guy, Lao Wang...

She really likes getting injections.

But he didn't care.

After all, Zhuang Shuai is a fourth-rank martial artist, so it would be quite difficult for Lao Wang to give him an injection... unless Zhuang Shuai cooperates!
He began to concentrate on dealing with the large pile of "Marrow Refining Pills" on his sickbed.

After eating over 100 more in one go, the [Strength] stat on the system attribute panel has now increased to 26 Dragon Power.

A feeling of fullness came over me.

Jiang He took two sips of iced tea, let out a burp, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Keep eating... So what if I'm stuffed?"

"For us body-refining martial artists, cultivation is inherently arduous!"

"No pain, no gain."

One "Marrow Refining Pill" can increase strength by 500kg.

Moreover, it also has the effect of "refining marrow".

Jiang He gritted his teeth and ate another 300, raising his strength to 27 dragons.

"persist in!"

Jiang He gritted his teeth and cheered himself up.

They continued eating.

When he could no longer eat, he went outside to practice his boxing and body techniques, exercising to aid digestion!
at last……

Its daybreak.

Jiang He had an idea and opened the system properties panel.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 20 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Strength: 30 Dragon Power]

Jiang He patted his belly, exhaled a breath of stale air, and couldn't help but say, "Hard work pays off... After a night of hard training, I've finally raised my strength to 30 Dragon Power!"

"1300 Marrow Refining Pills!"

"I ate 1300 in one night... Can anyone imagine how I got through that night?"

"It's so hard for me!"

Jiang He got up and went out for a morning run.

"Ding!"

"Proper exercise can increase strength by 10 kg."

I did some exercise.

The feeling of fullness in my stomach has lessened considerably.

Jiang He calculated that he still had more than 600 Marrow Refining Pills on him, which would increase his strength by about 2.5 times the Dragon Power after taking them.

"I'll have Marrow Refining Pills for breakfast today!" "The White Horse Profound Light Heaven will open in six days... I must do my best to improve my combat power within these six days!"

"ah!"

Nurse Zhou Yue was overjoyed to see Jiang He had returned when she pushed open the ward door.

I greeted them.

After chatting for a bit, Jiang He said, "You're not going to put any breakfast in for me today..."

"what?"

Zhou Yue looked a little disappointed and asked again, "Then... what about lunch? The kitchen made braised pork ribs today, do you want me to get you two extra portions?"

"No need, I'm going out for a banquet later, and I probably won't be back before lunch."

"Oh!"

Zhou Yue was a little unhappy and pushed the food cart away.

Jiang He took out 20 "Marrow Refining Pills" and ate them for breakfast. After taking the medicine, he left the hospital and went to a pharmacy to buy several boxes of "Digestive Tablets".

He had just come out of the pharmacy when he sensed Liu Feng's presence. He immediately looked up and saw Liu Feng hovering right above him. He immediately called out, "Uncle Liu, I'm here."

Liu Feng naturally sensed Jiang He's presence and immediately unleashed a burst of power, dragging Jiang He into the air.

He looked at Jiang He with surprise and asked in astonishment, "How come it feels like your energy and blood have become even stronger in just half a day... Have you gotten stronger again?"

Jiang He truthfully replied, "I cultivated all night last night, and my strength has improved a little."

As he spoke, he took out a few more Marrow Refining Pills and popped them into his mouth.

Then I took another handful of "digestive tablets".

"Ding!"

"Consuming the elixir will increase your strength by 500 kg."

"Ding!"

"Consuming the elixir will increase your strength by 500 kg."

"Ding……"

Sensing that Jiang He's qi and blood had surged again, Liu Feng turned his head and asked curiously, "What are you eating?"

Jiang He: "The Marrow Refining Pill."

Liu Feng said, "That's right. Body-refining martial artists need to refine their marrow and exchange their blood. With your strength, you should be refining your marrow by now. However, you should eat less pills. Eating too many will create dependence. They may temporarily increase your strength quickly, but they will still have a certain impact on your future martial arts path."

"I understand, Uncle Liu."

As Jiang He spoke, he popped a few more "Marrow Refining Pills" into his mouth.

Liu Feng smiled, took Jiang He with him, and flew over Wucheng.

On the way, he said, "Xiahou Wu is from Xijiang Base City. It's about 1900 kilometers from our Wucheng to Xijiang Base City... Besides his swordsmanship, Uncle's greatest skill is speed."

"The tribulation ceremony will not begin until 12 o'clock."

"We can maintain supersonic flight and arrive at Xijiang Base City around 11 o'clock."

along the way.

The river overlooks the land below.

The once beautiful landscape has become even more beautiful after the spiritual energy has been restored, especially the lush vegetation that has covered the entire land in green, but...

There are too many ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.

of course.

The Great Xia Dynasty has now eliminated the threat posed by the "Heavenly Demon Sect".

At Tianmen Pass, Wang Wu has also entered the Saint realm and has temporarily entered a relatively stable period.

With the strength and resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, it could have easily spared its resources to resolve the Great Xia's [Ferocious Beast Crisis], but the Great Xia did not do so... According to Jiang He's conjecture, one reason might be that the Great Xia still needs the existence of these ferocious beasts to provide training for the lower-level martial artists.

Second.

The flesh and blood of these ferocious beasts are very valuable, so it wouldn't be good to wipe them out all at once.

Third...

These "ferocious beasts" can also be considered as demons.

The Great Xia Dynasty today is not as simple as it appears on the surface. For example, the Golden Roc Demon King of Kunlun Mountain and the Azure Dragon King of Changbai Mountain are both well-deserved "Demon Kings". Besides them, there may be other "ancient" Demon Kings.

If all the ferocious beasts within the Great Xia territory were truly slaughtered, would those "ancient" demon kings agree?
Thoughts were swirling in my mind.

Jiang He's eyes suddenly lit up...

He saw a herd of ferocious beasts galloping through a forest, numbering over two hundred. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Uncle Liu, wait..."

"Put me down. I've eaten too many marrow-refining pills. I need to stretch my muscles and help digest them."

He was thrown down from the sky by Liu Feng, and like a cannonball, he blocked the path of the more than two hundred ferocious beasts.

The leader of this ferocious beast is a seventh-grade ferocious beast.

Seeing humans blocking its path, it felt its authority had been challenged and immediately roared. As if on command, the beasts rushed towards the river to attack.

Jiang He clenched his fist.

Punch!

With his body possessing nearly 31 dragon powers, he unleashed a "Triple Great Sage Fist" by combining three layers of hidden energy.

A surge of energy, like a blood dragon, erupted with this punch.

With just one punch, he killed all two hundred-plus ferocious beasts!
"Ding!"

"You have survived a battle, strength +10kg."

"Ding!"

"You have killed a ferocious beast, your strength has increased by 70 kg."

"Ding……"

One system notification after another rang in Jiang He's mind. Feeling the increase in his own strength and blood, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly leaped into the air. Then Liu Feng's power flew out and lifted him up.

His face was full of expectation as he asked, "Uncle Liu..."

"you say……"

"Is there any way to artificially create a beast tide?"

Liu Feng glared at him and yelled, "What?"

"Man-made beast tide...Are you out of your mind?"

"If you really do this, and it affects state property and the safety of the people, even if Minister Qin is your seventh brother, he will still kill you!"

Jiang He quickly replied, "No, no... I'll kill them all after the beast tide gathers, then there won't be any impact on national property or the safety of the people, right?" (End of Chapter)
