Chapter 338: Power and Agility Reach Maximum Values
As the Four Great Breathing Techniques operated simultaneously,
the Great Medicine that had just been swallowed was immediately refined!
The growth of the four-dimensional attributes was extremely balanced.
Ding Ling secretly admired this.
This is definitely a Treasure Medicine!
Remarkably, treasures of three to four hundred years were coming in droves!
There were also quite a few five to six hundred years old treasure medicines!
It’s known that even the Fuwei Escort Agency, such a large escort agency, doesn’t have six hundred-year-old treasure medicines!
Ding Ling had only used a mere two plants of the three hundred-year-old ones!
Yet here they were in piles.
"How generous!"
Ding Ling praised.
However, for the other party to send such a heavy gift, they obviously had something to request.
Regardless of what they seek.
Let’s eat first and talk later.
When it comes to enhancing strength, Ding Ling always resolves it immediately.
So.
He continued eating.
He ate a total of fifty plants of three to four hundred-year-old treasure medicines.
The growth of the four-dimensional attributes was as follows:
[Strength +1.2]
[Agility +0.6]
[Constitution +0.9]
[Defense +3.3]
Initially, the growth of the four-dimensional attributes was very balanced, all at +0.1 each.
Until Agility reached 40 points. Then it stopped increasing.
Then Constitution, Strength, and Defense also successively reached 40 points. No further growth.
Thus, according to Ding Ling’s current status:
Strength: [Basic Bone 2 (ordinary person 1 point), Intelligence 3, Strength 40, Agility 40, Constitution 40, Defense 40, Charisma 11.]
Before, Ding Ling’s attributes were: Strength 38.4, Agility 39.1, Constitution 38.8, Defense 36.7
As he learned the Overlord Saber Technique, he continued consuming Great Medicine.
Now all are at 40 points!
At this stage, chewing Great Medicine is already useless for Ding Ling.
"At the beginning, three to four hundred-year-old Great Medicine had a significant effect on the growth of the four-dimensional attributes. But the more you eat, the stronger the resistance.
The growth thus becomes slower and less."
"It also took me a total of 50 plants to make all my four-dimensional attributes hit the peak."
Reaching 40 points.
Ding Ling’s strength soared, his speed increased, his defense became stronger, and his endurance improved by leaps and bounds.
Now, Ding Ling stands out.
In terms of physical fitness, there are few in the world who can match him. Even if someone is born with divine power and can match his strength, it’s impossible to match him in all four-dimensional attributes.
Ding Ling has grown from an ordinary person to his current strength!
With the enhancement of Breathing Technique, the Vigorous Qi unleashed is absolutely terrifying!
"Very good."
Ding Ling is very satisfied.
As his physical fitness has reached the world’s top peak value.
Ding Ling’s Breathing Technique’s Qi is increasingly domineering and terrifying. If it merges with True Qi, the effect can be imagined!
"Next comes the cultivation of Inner Power."
Ding Ling continued to chew and eat.
He doesn’t waste what does not cost money.
As long as the strength is strong enough.
All the demonic creatures can be easily suppressed, why should Ding Ling fear not being able to repay favors?
[Inner Power Value +1]
[Inner Power Value +1]
...
The spiritual mechanism and primordial qi within each Great Medicine get entirely refined by Ding Ling utilizing the Pure Yang True Skill.
His inner strength was soaring.
Before long.
He consumed 70 pieces of hundred-year-old Great Medicine.
[Inner Power Value +60]
Upon reaching this point.
Ding Ling noticed that chewing hundred-year-old Great Medicine had become almost ineffective in improving Inner Strength, so he gave up on hundred-year-old ones for two-hundred-year ones.
He consumed 100 pieces.
[Inner Power Value +230]
The 200-year-old Great Medicine was swept clean.
Then he ate other Great Medicine.
Finally.
[Inner Power Value +410]
In total, the Inner Power Value increased by 700 points!
Unsurprisingly.
Two more points of True Water split out.
As it stands now:
[True Power Value: 5 points]
"It seems like 300 Inner Power Value points can split out 1 point of True Water."
Ding Ling mused.
"After reaching the 5-point True Water Realm, I feel I’m not far from the peak value either."
Previously with one or two points of True Water, he never felt where the world’s inner power limit was.
But with five points of True Water present.
Ding Ling finally sensed the omnipresent shackles and confines of this world’s power.
As expected.
Six points of True Water should be the limit.
By then, Ding Ling would truly be the ultimate martial artist in this world!
"Very good."
Ding Ling let out a long shout, his voice splitting the skies, causing the rolling waves ahead to tumble.
Qu Feiyan, Consort Yhu, Huang Zhonggong, and others all changed their expressions.
Each looked at Ding Ling with adoration, admiration, amazement, or embarrassment at their own inferiority.
"Let’s continue on our journey."
Ding Ling saw that Dan Qingsheng had found a boatman.
He began to lead the horses onto the boat.
As for the treasures sent by those men.
Ding Ling naturally did not need empty boxes that were used up.
The remaining treasures were all placed into the Storage Bag one by one.
If the Storage Bag couldn’t hold them, some were put onto the ship.
Ding Ling planned to prepare some medicinal baths for Qu Feiyan, Lin Pingzhi, and others after crossing the river, to enhance their strength.
Plenty of hundred-year-old Great Medicine still remained.
As the hundred-year-old Great Medicine was already of no use to him, it was naturally left for Qu Feiyan and others to use.
Perhaps not long after.
He would reach the world’s upper limit value.
Truly reaching that step.
Any medicine Ding Ling gained would be useless for him!
By then Lin Pingzhi, Qu Feiyan, and others would naturally be prioritized.
Using it on anyone is still using it.
Of course, priority should be given to one’s own people.
...
The Yangtze River journey is long.
There will always be a time to dock.
After docking.
Ding Ling started preparing medicinal baths for a few people.
While they were in the medicinal bath.
Ding Ling didn’t forget to guide Huang Zhonggong and a few others.
This was what Ding Ling promised Huang Zhonggong and Ding Jian before, he couldn’t take advantage of Ding Jian and the others and do nothing.
For his own people or people he recognized.
Ding Ling cannot do such a thing.
To villains and the like, Ding Ling can naturally go back on his word.
But for virtuous and ethical friends, his own people, Ding Ling must keep his word!
...
Everything was developing steadily and orderly.
Qu Feiyan and others’ strengths were steadily rising.
Consort Yhu, blessed with extraordinary talent, made remarkably rapid initial progress in cultivating Inner Power, aided by medicinal baths, the progress was swift, drawing envy from Dan Qingsheng and others.
One day.
They arrived at a riverside city.
Suddenly there was another burst of drumbeats ahead.
Looking closely.
A vast crowd approached.
Each person holding a jar or two of wine.
Before they even came close.
A burly man in a blue robe at the front loudly shouted:
"Is the great Hero Ding Ling ahead?"
"..."
Qu Feiyan was speechless.
Consort Yhu also couldn’t help but glance over.
Huang Zhonggong and several others had not ventured into the Jianghu for over a decade. After briefly joining Ding Ling, they encountered many affairs, including this offering gifts, which they met repeatedly, amazed and curious.
But they quickly came to an understanding.
Each thought:
"Ding Ling is extraordinarily gifted, with martial skills unsurpassed in the world, looking around, it’s hard to find a rival. It’s quite normal for others to flatter him, shower him with praises, and try to please him in every way."
After coming to terms, when they looked at those offering gifts again, they seemed like they were observing rich heroes who were good at currying favor!
