Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 128: Chapter 126: Flowing Gold Ginseng (Part 2)

Next to him, Liu Ziwen handed over the money bag.

”Brother Song, after buying this Flowing Gold Ginseng with the mist gold you sold, there is still some left...”

Without waiting for Liu Ziwen to finish, Song Changming pushed the money bag back without even looking at how much Han Gold was left, and said,

”Brother Liu, please give the remaining Han Gold to our senior, as a token of my gratitude for his help this time.”

”Well... alright.” Liu Ziwen nodded, but whether to accept it or not, he would wait until he got back and let Liu Dingsheng decide.

He didn’t expect Song Changming to be so straightforward.

This is Han Gold, each piece worth a fortune, and to give it up without batting an eye is not something everyone can do.

”Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”

”Take care.”

Once Liu Ziwen returned to Liu Dingsheng, he took out the money bag and conveyed Song Changming’s exact words.

”That kid, he wants to do long-term business with me.” Liu Dingsheng shook his head with a smile.

Having played chess with Song Changming for so long, like life, he considered himself to understand Song Changming’s temperament somewhat, allowing him to guess what the other was thinking.

Song Changming tasted the sweetness in this transaction, and he wanted to collaborate more in the future.

This money bag was a gesture from Song Changming to let Liu Dingsheng know that he wouldn’t be helping in vain in the future.

”Alright, keep the money, whatever that kid wants in the future, just find it for him.” Liu Dingsheng instructed.

”Yes.” Liu Ziwen nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Song Changming waited for some time.

As the new month arrived and the medicinal power of the Mountain Ginseng in his body was completely worn off, he took out the carefully stored Flowing Gold Ginseng and began to decoct and consume it.

”This treasure better not disappoint me!” Song Changming muttered to himself, smelling the medicinal aroma filling the room.

The miraculous effects of the previous Hundred Years Old Ginseng had already amazed him.

Logically, this 350-year-old Flowing Gold Ginseng’s medicinal power should far exceed that of common Hundred Years Old Ginseng!

”Alright!”

Timing it perfectly, Song Changming extinguished the fire and took out the medicine, first drinking the ginseng juice, then eating the ginseng slices.

Perhaps due to a psychological effect, the golden ginseng juice in the bowl seemed to emit light, full of mystique!

”I don’t care, just drink it.”

Song Changming drank the ginseng juice in one gulp, not leaving a drop, then moved on to the ginseng slices.

With a long exhale, Song Changming returned to his room, quickly undressing until only his shorts remained.

He then waited quietly for the medicinal effects to take place.

It did not take long.

In no time, the fierce medicinal power surged through his entire body, like a sudden storm on the sea, causing heavy waves within him.

Song Changming felt his whole body become numb and hot.

Without delay, he began practicing the Bull Demon Skill, fully utilizing the increasingly wild and powerful medicinal force.

The ginseng juice, if consumed by ordinary people, would likely be excessive; such a potent tonic could turn into the fiercest poison, causing harm or even death.

Only a martial artist like him, whose body had undergone multiple enhancements, could withstand it.

As he continued his practice, Song Changming felt his body getting hotter, as though his bones were being forged in a furnace.

Meanwhile, on his status panel under the Body Refining Skill section, the experience values for all four Body Refining Skills were increasing.

The Bull Demon Skill, in particular, showed a prominent growth, with the experience bar jumping every so often.

Outside, Song’s mother, noticing that Song Changming had locked himself in the room to practice again, was accustomed to it and just asked if he wanted to come out to eat.

”No need, mother. I don’t need to eat today.” Song Changming’s voice floated out from the room, slightly hoarse as if dried by heat.

Currently enveloped in the medicinal power of the Flowing Gold Ginseng, Song Changming felt no hunger and drank water incessantly throughout the day.

Later, perhaps finding it troublesome, he simply carried the water tank into the room and sweated profusely throughout the entire day.

It wasn’t until late at night that Song Changming finally absorbed the peak of the medicinal power.

Upon checking his status panel, he felt pleasantly surprised.

[Great Strength Bull Demon Skill: Six Bull Power (354/600)]

In just one day of intense practice, the experience value for the Bull Demon Skill increased by over a hundred points!

This kind of growth is undoubtedly quite exaggerated, comparable to the rewards of an annual achievement!

According to his previous training efficiency, earning these hundred-plus Body Refining Skill experience points would have taken nearly half a year with regular practice.

Now, the results of half a year, he had achieved in just one day!

Indeed, you get what you pay for; the costly items have their merits.

The Flowing Gold Ginseng lives up to its reputation!

Besides the Bull Demon Skill, the other three Body Refining Skills gained dozens of experience points as well.

This is because the medicinal power of the Flowing Gold Ginseng is so abundant that even though Song Changming did not intentionally enhance those three Body Refining Skills, his skin, flesh, blood, and marrow naturally received nourishment and enhancement.

”Refreshing!”

Song Changming stopped practicing, exhaled, his eyes bright like fire.

His upper body was bare, muscular and broad, with heat continuously rising from every pore.

In the nearby water vat, the water level had already decreased by half compared to before.

Who knows how many liters of water he drank that day.

Now that body refining was over, his stomach, empty all day, began to clamor for attention.

Though Song Changming was utterly exhausted, he had to eat and drink to his fill before he could rest.

The biggest taboo for martial artists is over-exertion without timely replenishment, leading to physical depletion and detrimental outcomes.

In Song Changming’s view, eating and drinking are also part of martial arts practice and are quite important.

Upon reaching the kitchen, he saw Song Ping’an still watching the fire, who stood up when he saw Song Changming arrive.

”Brother Song, the big meat you wanted is all steamed.”

Song Changming nodded, ”Alright, thanks for your hard work, Ping’an. Go and take a rest.”

”Okay.”

Carrying out several large steaming plates of meat, and fetching a jug of clear wine, he ate and drank heartily while feeling the accumulated medicinal power inside, continuously emitting warmth.

According to his past experience with consuming Mountain Ginseng, the medicinal power that would mellow later would continue for about a month.

During this month, although his body refining speed might not be as fierce as the first day, the enhancement effect would definitely far exceed usual.

Back when he consumed the Hundred Years Mountain Ginseng, it was already like this; so there’s no need to say much about this Flowing Gold Ginseng.

Originally, Song Changming expected his Bull Demon Skill to break through to the Seventh Realm by the end of next year.

But now with the help of this Top Grade Flowing Gold Ginseng, he hopes to achieve the breakthrough to the Seventh Realm of Bone Forging this year!

”This is the allure of money...” Song Changming murmured after having his fill.

Imagine if a martial artist born into a wealthy family, lacking neither money nor resources since childhood, how rapid their martial arts progress would be.

It’s probably far beyond what ordinary people imagine.

Feeling relaxed all over, Song Changming returned to rest in his room; the next morning, he dove into new practice sessions.

Seizing the time while the medicinal power hasn’t dissipated; this one month is extremely precious and should not be wasted.

While Song Changming was diligently practicing, Liang Zhao Long came over one day.

”Boss, during this time I’ve recruited almost enough manpower, combined with our original brothers, planning to start tomorrow.” Liang Zhao Long said.

”Are the recruits reliable?” Song Changming asked, feeding Dahuang and White at the same time.

”Rest assured, boss, I’ve honed my eye for people through training with you; those people are definitely dependable.” Liang Zhao Long vowed confidently.

Over the years before and after, he has been busy finding helpers, mostly genius picks, definitely won’t be wrong candidates.

He is quite confident in the results of the recruitment efforts.

”Alright, safe travels, looking forward to your good news.” Song Changming smiled at Liang Zhao Long.

”Okay! I surely won’t disappoint you!” Liang Zhao Long nodded solemnly.

”When developing the association outside, if money runs out, remember to contact me early, don’t stubbornly cause delays.” Song Changming urged.

”Yes!”

Song Changming watched Liang Zhao Long leave, shaking his head.

With today’s separation, who knows if everything will go smoothly in the future.

Before the New Year, he had given Liang Zhao Long a development direction, allowing him to form an association resembling a group, recruiting people displaced by war for their use.

This idea is good, but truly implementing it is also fraught with difficulties, not easy.

Song Changming provided financial support, letting Liang Zhao Long and the brothers try and err without too much interference.

Now, with the association founded, though Liang Zhao Long depleted some of Song Changming’s funds, he had accumulated considerable experience in managing the association.

Recently, Liang Zhao Long proactively proposed leaving Donglai Prefecture, heading to places where wars frequently occur to recruit talents and start implementing the plan.

This moment, Liang Zhao Long showed great initiative, ambition, wanting to accomplish this task.

These are changes that weren’t present when he stayed as a Patrol Guard in the Public Security Bureau.

Simply put, it’s the difference between being a worker and venturing out on his own for business.

The enthusiasm shown while working for others is incomparable to the comprehensive satisfaction of entrepreneurship.

Song Changming did not follow him; he remained in Donglai Prefecture, supporting the association behind the scenes, letting Liang Zhao Long proceed boldly.

Fully trusting his ability without too much interference.

Perhaps someday, the small fish he let go could grow into a giant whale in the tumultuous waves.

It’s worth mentioning that Liang Zhao Long named his association ’Changming Association’.

Implying everlasting light, inviting those without homes, to come here for warmth in numbers.
