318. Refining a body immune to all poisons
"Gululu!"
The black and red medicinal liquid in the pool was boiling and bubbling, like a pot of thick soup.
The scalding medicinal liquid seared Han Feng, causing his face to contort and his body to tremble uncontrollably.
"It's so hot!"
At this moment, he was completely submerged in the medicinal liquid, unable to speak, and could only wail silently in his heart.
The life seal engraved within the body automatically activates, greedily absorbing the nourishing essence from the medicinal liquid through the skin, refining and nourishing the entire body with astonishing efficiency.
Thanks to the unique effect of dissolving life seals within his body, Han Feng's results from immersing in the body-tempering spiritual liquid were comparable to the sum of dozens of other people's treatments, causing his external martial arts cultivation to accelerate dramatically.
"Within a few years, I should be able to push 'Shield and Armor Forged a Hundred Times' to its peak."
As his skin gradually warmed up, he suddenly realized that the scalding hot liquid was no longer unbearably intense.
During this break, he began to carefully trace his memories of "the Hundred Forged Shields" and the present era.
"Current indications suggest that this Warring States period world is most likely an anime version, but we cannot rule out the possibility of other types."
"What if it's a hybrid type?"
"Only when the time is right and the key person is found can the true ownership be confirmed."
"In the animated version, the leader of the Armored Sect will be assassinated by Xuan Jian, the top assassin of the Luo Wang, while at that time the leader has already been secretly poisoned by his fellow disciples."
"Silently break through its hidden external attack weakness."
"But is this poison a specially made deadly poison? Or is it a medicine that weakens one's martial arts skills? Or is it something that damages the internal organs?"
Han Feng pondered silently for a long time, still undecided.
If it were highly poisonous, given his current immune system, he would not be a threat.
However, if it is the latter two, even a body immune to all poisons may find it difficult to resist, because it may not belong to the category of poison or medicine.
"It seems I need to find a suitable target to study the secrets of nourishing the five internal organs."
"Furthermore, if one seeks a miraculous method to prolong life, there must be such secret methods existing in nature."
Han Feng memorized it until the red and black liquid faded into a clear and transparent state.
Han Feng, who was completely soaked, was scooped out by Dian Qing and placed on the ground. His senior brother had already prepared clean clothes for him.
"Change your clothes quickly, then take some nourishing food to warm and nourish your blood and strengthen your body."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
While Han Feng was changing his clothes alone, Dian Qing had already ordered someone to bring him food.
Before long, five burly servants, each carrying a giant food box, entered the room and deftly arranged the medicinal meat soup, herbal stew, and other delicacies on the table...
Various rare medicinal herbs that nourish qi and blood are skillfully combined and cooked with the finest meat by the master chefs of the sect.
Transformed into delicious medicinal dishes that nourish qi and blood...
Seeing the round table, which was a full ten feet in diameter, piled high with food and medicinal herbs, Han Feng's throat bobbed slightly.
"Such a feast!"
"Can you really finish it all?"
"Second Junior Brother, don't underestimate the appetite of those who cultivate 'Hundred Refinements of Shield and Armor'." Dian Qing patted his broad chest and said with a kind smile, "For someone like me, one meal is enough to swallow a horse."
“The reason why the Wei Wu soldiers were so famous throughout the world was partly due to their diet.”
When this matter was mentioned, Dianqing couldn't help but sigh again.
The invincible fighting power of Wei Wu's 1.3 infantry was built upon massive resources, 1.3 years of hard work, blood, sweat, and suffering.
Only enough to sustain the daily physiological needs of the Wei elite troops.
Each person needs to consume large quantities of medicinal herbs cooked together with food at each meal. Such a demand places unimaginable pressure on logistics and food supplies.
And this is not even a state of war.
Otherwise, the Wei elite infantry would have been able to overwhelm the logistics and supply personnel, leaving them weeping and utterly despondent.
319. The Secret of the Zhu Family, a Farmer's Family
"If it weren't for the immense logistical pressure and the unsustainable supply lines," Dian Qing said in a low voice, sitting beside Han Feng. "The Wei Kingdom might have already unified the Central Plains."
To end this chaotic era of seven hundred years of war.
"I long for the simple life of farming, hoeing the fields and weeding every day, and carefully tending to the growing seedlings."
"Stay away from the smoke of war and conflict."
"That day will eventually come." Han Feng ate the medicinal food with gusto and replied vaguely, "Judging from the current situation of various countries, unification can be achieved in at most thirty years."
"At that time, the eldest brother will be able to stay away from the war and enjoy the pastoral pleasures."
"However, in the next 29 years, wars between the seven 29 nations will inevitably break out frequently, and countless lives will be lost." Thinking of the impending war, Dian Qing sighed helplessly.
He was utterly fed up with this kind of life.
The once mighty Wei Wu Zu have now dwindled to almost nothing. The so-called Wei Wu Zu of today exist in name only, lacking the true essence of the Wei Wu Zu.
Although they can still compete with Qin Ruishi, they no longer have the absolute dominance they once had.
Invincible, unmatched by anyone.
The glory and splendor of the Wei Wuzu, along with the famous Wei general Pang Juan, disappeared into the long river of history.
"The world, after a long period of unity, tends to divide; after a long period of division, tends to unite." Han Feng put down the empty bowl and turned to gaze at his senior brother Dian Qing beside him.
After a moment's hesitation, he released his divine sense to scan his surroundings.
Then, lowering his voice, he asked, "Senior Brother, if the Wei Kingdom truly falls, what are your plans?"
"I don't know, I might be captured by the enemy." Dian Qing shook his head slightly, his bright eyes filled with confusion about the unknown.
“In that case,” Han Feng lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and solemnly suggested, “Senior Brother, if you are unwilling to return to Qin, when that time comes, I suggest you try to escape and join the peasants.”
"And strive to become a trusted confidant of the Zhu family or Tian Hu."
"Tian Hu from the Farmhouse, and the Zhu family?" Dian Qing looked at Han Feng in confusion and asked, "Are you referring to Tian Hu, who is said to have 'two suns in the sky and fierce tigers in the fields,' and the Zhu family, who is said to be 'fickle and indecisive'?"
"Exactly!" Han Feng nodded, reminding him, "The Zhu family treats their trusted confidants well and is worthy of their trust."
"As for Tian Hu, he is extremely skilled, straightforward, without any sinister intentions, and very protective of his own."
"There's no need to worry about being plotted against from behind."
"However, within the peasant clan, the Zhu family is a different surname. Once involved in the struggle for the leadership of the peasant clan, they will inevitably be ostracized by the Tian clan."
"Therefore, although the Zhu family was good, they were isolated and helpless, and were unable to help at critical moments."
"Not the best option."
"But Tian Hu is different. In farming families, his surname is Tian."
"Simply because Tian Hu's surname is Tian, no one in the farming family dares to harbor any ill intentions towards him." Han Feng said in a low voice, "In the farming family, the Tian family has always looked down on anyone who is not surnamed Tian and covets the position of head of the hall."
070
"070 Whether it is Chen Sheng or Zhu Jia."
"Being ostracized is only a matter of time."
"If Senior Brother can gain Tian Hu's trust, given the strength of his forces and Tian Hu's own loyalty and protectiveness, even if a bloody internal strife erupts in the future,
"It can also ensure that my senior brother is safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Dian Qing turned his gaze to his second junior brother, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Why must it be the Agricultural School? Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, are there any other options?"
“The rest are all unsuitable.” Han Feng thought deeply and spoke earnestly, “The School of Diplomacy only accepts two people per generation, and there is absolutely no position for a senior brother;
"Confucians, because they value status, found it difficult to accept their senior brother, who was actually a soldier of the Wei army."
320. The walls have ears.
"Most doctors are women, which doesn't match your temperament, senior brother; novelists are even less compatible with your personality; Taoists and Yin-Yang practitioners require inner cultivation, which you also find difficult to meet."
"The Mohist school is now in a state of extreme weakness, with some of its members already embroiled in the power struggles of various states, and its future safety is uncertain."
"The relationship between the Miscellaneous School and the Qin court is intricate. Its leader, Lü Buwei, is the current prime minister, while all the previous kings of Qin were ambitious. A power struggle between the two is inevitable."
"Once you get involved, your life and death are in the hands of others, and you have no control over your own destiny."
"Merchants live at the bottom and have little power. If you, my senior, join them, you will become their protector, which goes against your original intention."
"As a military strategist, my senior brother is already quite old and has a deep aversion to war, so he is not considered."
"Although there are many schools of thought in the Hundred Schools of Thought, it seems that there is a wide range of choices,"
"However, from the perspective of my senior brother Wei Wuzu, the peasant family is the only and best place for him."
"Given the reality, there is no other choice."
