Putting the two turtles in the tank and covering it, Bailang returned to his room and slowly lay down.
It's only morning now, my younger brothers and sisters have already gone to school, and there's no one at home. Bai Lang's wound was still very painful, and he had narrowly escaped death before and fainted twice from the pain in the hospital. His physical strength was extremely exhausted. Now he felt very tired, so he lay half on the bed with his eyes closed to rest.
I wanted to take a nap, but the constant pain from the wound made me unable to sleep. Bai Lang had no choice but to close his eyes and think about other things to make himself less sad, and to distract himself from the pain of the wound.
His thoughts followed the wound and naturally he thought of things related to the wound.
What immediately comes to mind is how he survived from a seventh-grade warrior. He even did such an outrageous thing with a fish chopping knife that was neither handy nor suitable for slashing.
Somewhat incredible.
At least before this, Bailang himself had never thought that one day he would be able to jump over the level and fight with others, but in the end he was lucky enough to survive. Even now that he was lying on his bed, Bai Lang still felt lingering fear and disbelief in his heart.
"It should be the special state of having no one but a sword at that time that played a key role!" Bai Lang thought about it and finally came up with this explanation. He had never encountered this situation before.
Thinking of this, Bailang suddenly remembered that he seemed to have received a prompt from the attribute panel when he was in that magical state before, but he didn't pay attention because of the critical situation at that time. After escaping from death, I forgot about this matter.
Thinking of it now, Bailang quickly called up his attribute panel, and there was indeed a prompt.
[Tip: Awakening the Destiny Skill—(Purple) Extreme Concentration]
Purple...the word purple? !
Bailang was stunned when he saw the four purple fonts on the attribute panel, and even the pain of the wound seemed to be forgotten for a moment.
Bailang had just seen the "blue character" yesterday, and he was already so shocked that he jumped up and down. Now he saw the purple character on top of the blue character. Naturally, I couldn't even speak, and I understood even more clearly that if the blue character was a rare item, then the purple character must be a legendary item, or skill, that was rare in the world.
I was briefly stunned by the exciting sound of my heartbeat, and then I quickly focused on clicking on this prompt to get a detailed description of the purple word "Extreme Concentration".
[Extreme concentration: legendary destiny skill. You can enter a state of extreme concentration, in which the consumption of physical strength, energy, and infuriating energy is increased by 50%, and the overall instant effect is increased by 25% across the limit. 】
This is obviously not a simple combat destiny skill, but a universal buff state covering all skills. While increasing consumption, it also improves the effectiveness of various means.
To put it bluntly, as long as Bailang is willing to bear half of the various expenses, he can obtain a heaven-defying state with a 20% increase in all abilities.
The ability of proportional gain becomes more and more powerful as it goes on, even to an outrageous level.
"No wonder it's the purple character. The legendary destiny skill, tsk tsk, my luck seems to have improved all of a sudden. First the "Qi Nourishing Technique", and then the escape from death and the awakening of the purple character destiny skill. Finally, I have a bit of a time traveler. So arrogant." Bailang felt a rare sense of pride in his heart.
However, the Destiny Skill is not a method that can be turned on at all times, and the 50% increase in consumption is not a joke. Even if the effect can be universal, even practice can theoretically benefit from it, but in practice it is not feasible.
It is most cost-effective to save your destiny skills for temporary assistance at critical moments or to use them when completing levels.
Of course, if one day Bai Lang can ignore most of the consumption of means, Tao Tianming Skill can indeed be activated in real time as a daily commuting state, but it is still far from possible now.
The Destiny Technique can only be explored slowly for the time being, but the "Qi Nourishing Technique" and "Sword Qi Technique" can be practiced while Bailang is resting in bed. It can also distract your attention from being bothered by the pain of the wound.
This practice ended in the afternoon. It's still half an hour before my younger siblings get off from school. Bailang broke away from his practice, got up, and began to pack up the fish balls that Li Xun gave him today.
Two turtles, each weighing more than four kilograms. This kind of turtle is not cheap. If you buy it normally, it is impossible to buy it for less than 20 taels each.
Bailang tried some activities and found that after half a day of rest and practice, his wounds seemed to be less painful. Moving a little and doing something had little impact.
So he killed one turtle, packed it up, and then stewed it in a pot. When the stew was halfway through, the two younger ones also came back. They gave Bai Yan some money and asked her to go to the butcher shop to buy three kilograms of meat bones and stew them in the pot together. He said he would have a good meal today.
But when the meal was served when it got dark after a while of busy work, the two young ones looked at the fragrant fish and meat bones in the basin without smiling at all, and even held back tears hanging from the corners of their eyes.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat? Brother, I'll eat it all later. Haha, cough, cough, cough..." After saying a few words, the wound hurt, and Bailang pulled the corner of his mouth and took a breath.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Brother, are you in pain?"
Bai Yan and Bai Yuankai both cried. As soon as they returned home, they were horrified by Bai Lang's open clothes and exposed bandages that were bleeding. But they are sensible and understand what their elder brother's business is. In the past, it was just good luck that I was not injured, so I was mentally prepared despite being frightened. Even knowing that the family, which has always been in a tight situation, can eat this big meal must be the eldest brother's injury. After thinking about it this way, where can I still have appetite? There is only fear and sadness in my heart.
Don't think that you don't understand these things because you are young. It has nothing to do with your age. You will naturally understand what you need to know in life.
Bailang didn't say much. He scooped out a large bowl of soft-shell turtle and meat bones for each of his younger brothers and sisters, and also added a bowl for himself. Then he said with a smile: "Knowing that this meal of meat is hard-earned, you should eat more. Otherwise, wouldn't this knife be in vain? Eat it quickly. The rest can be eaten again tomorrow."
There is no point in saying too much, and besides, the reality is exactly what the younger siblings see and think, so there is no need to comfort him. You can even get used to it gradually. The important thing is that right now, you can never ignore the gains because of emotions.
And according to Bai Lang's judgment, he should be able to practice "Sword Qi Jue" to a small level in less than three months, and by then he will be able to fulfill the identity mission of Daozi. Once passed, the family's financial income will at least double. The days should not be like this where I cry and laugh at the sight of a meaty meal.
While Bai Lang was eating and drinking fish soup with his tearful brothers and sisters, two pairs of eyes were staring at the door of his house from outside the dark house.
"Sir, this Bailang looks very normal. Why do you think the clay figurine is related to him?"
"Scent. The fragrance on Bai Lang's body is very unique. The thief who committed suicide last night also had the same fragrance on his body."
"Aroma? You mean vanilla?"
"To be precise, it's the aroma of orchid grass. The aroma of that kind of vanilla is strong, and the fragrance will remain on your clothes even if you just step on it. But because the aroma is too strong, it is generally not used in the home, but other gentle aromas are chosen. Vanilla incense. But Bailang used Zhilancao at home. He must have done it because he was poor and cared about the musty smell in the house.
Very few people do this. Secondly, around Yongchuan City, there was only a forest with lots of orchids growing on the road last night.
So this Bailang is not completely irrelevant.
Moreover, now that the clues are almost all gone, should we just give up? You have to try your luck, right? "
