Chapter 22 Points and Lines, Surfaces and Solids
"bite--"
The oven timer made a crisp sound.
Lin Ye opened the oven door and took out an iron tray lined with tin foil, on which were placed five dried black snail-shaped grasses.
I got back around midnight last night, and there wasn't time to prepare "Black Goat Night".
So he got up at four in the morning to roast the black snail-shaped grass and prepare the ingredients for the magic potion.
The reason I only roasted five was because I didn't have much money left.
"What are you grilling?"
Jiang Weilan walked over carrying a rice cooker.
"A type of plant."
Lin Ye opened his mouth and casually crushed the five black snail-shaped grasses into powder, then put them into separate glass bottles.
Jiang Weilan nodded, puzzled. "I know it's a kind of plant."
"Wash your hands and eat."
"it is good."
......
At the dinner table, Jiang Weilan put down her spoon and looked at Lin Ye.
"How have you been feeling practicing martial arts these past few days? Are you tired?"
Lin Ye picked up a piece of boiled cabbage and put it in his mouth. "It's good, not too tiring."
"Don't overwork yourself, look how thin you've become."
Jiang Weilan felt a pang of heartache, but then a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
"Son, have you grown taller?"
Lin Ye put down his chopsticks. "Is there?"
I got up, walked to the kitchen scale, stepped on it, and pulled up the measuring tape.
"183, maybe he had a second growth spurt after practicing martial arts."
"My weight is 76 kilograms. I haven't lost weight; in fact, I've gained a few kilograms."
Jiang Weilan's face lit up with joy. "That's great! Aim to grow to 1.9 meters tall, then you'll stand out in a crowd!"
Lin Ye smiled. "1.9 meters is a bit too tall, isn't it?" He didn't like attracting attention.
Sitting back down at the table, I asked, "How's things going with my sister?"
Upon hearing Lin Ye's question, Jiang Weilan's face showed a hint of worry, but she did not appear concerned.
"There shouldn't be any problem. You know Tieqin University; it's basically the talent base for the Tieqin Group."
"Even if I don't end up as an internal trainee, I'll still have a good job."
Lin Ye nodded. Tieqin University and Coast University are different. Coast University is a public university established under the leadership of the province.
However, when Tieqin University was first established, it was entirely funded and built by the Tieqin Group.
Originally intended for training talent within the Tieqin Group, it was later incorporated into the provincial government and became a joint university.
It is said that when they were initially incorporated, quite a few incidents occurred, with the provincial authorities mobilizing over a thousand people to surround the group's headquarters.
The group's original headquarters was not in the center of Tieqin City; it was only moved there after this incident.
If my sister hadn't worked at the Tieqin Group, she could have had a bright future in the provincial capital.
However, it will definitely take much longer to reach the same position within the Tieqin Group.
After breakfast, Jiang Weilan went to work, and Lin Ye also left home.
On the street, steam rises from breakfast shops, emitting the aroma of meat noodles.
Lin Ye walked slowly, feeling relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders after last night's change in mood.
More than half an hour later, we arrived at the market street and walked towards a storefront.
"Black Sheep! Hehehe!"
The shop's signboard has six large characters written on it.
"Boss!"
Lin Ye called out, and a middle-aged man wearing a leather apron came out from the inner room.
"Hey! It's you, handsome! You're not going to order ram's horns again, are you?"
Lin Ye glanced into the inner room, where several black goats were hanging on iron hooks, their fur mostly peeled off.
"Is there?" he asked.
The shop owner clicked his tongue. "What are you talking about? Of course we have it! This is what I sell, why would I be short of your stock?"
"Give me five pairs, and two jin of sheep's blood," Lin Ye said.
The boss chuckled and casually sharpened the boning knife on the iron bar a few times.
"Delicious, isn't it? Our sheep's blood is top-notch! Have a few pieces before you're on your way to 'get things done,' and I guarantee you'll be rock solid!"
"Did you add something extra?" Lin Ye joked with a smile.
The boss hurriedly waved his hand, "No way! Would we do something so unethical? It's all natural!"
"Okay, pack it for me. I'll cook some more when I get back," Lin Ye said with a smile.
"Alright!"
After leaving the market street, Lin Ye went straight home.
I bought another 120g of white tin powder at a precious metals store on the way, and my wallet is basically empty now.
At his computer desk, Lin Ye looked at the materials laid out in front of him, took a deep breath, and began to mix them.
Having learned from the previous experience, I'm much more skilled this time.
Around noon, he sat down at his computer desk, with the ingredients for preparing "Black Goat's Night" laid out in front of him.
Only one last step remains: pour the powder from burning the 'White Tin-Black Snail Grass' into the black goat's blood, mix well, seal, and let it stand.
But this step can only be done after sunset; it cannot be done now.
Leaning back slightly, I summoned the monument.
His gaze fell on the "Potion Apprentice" skill.
This ability can increase the success rate of concocting Type 1 potions by 30%, somewhat like a title in a game, but it can be upgraded.
"One potential point increases the number of attempts by one."
He said in a low voice, "Using potential points like this is even more extravagant than adding points to intelligence."
"I wonder how many bottles will be successful this time? And how many more attempts will be possible?"
After resting with his eyes closed for a while, he stood up, walked to the living room, stretched his muscles and bones, and began practicing his boxing.
"Whoosh!"
He threw a punch and then quickly pulled it back, the speed of the pull-back being much faster than the punch itself.
Lin Ye felt the changes in his body; after mastering the basics of boxing, all the muscles in his body seemed to become one.
The feeling when you throw a punch is like stretching a rubber band; there's a hidden, subtle force in the punch.
When pulling back the fist, it feels like being pulled by a rubber band, with a force pulling the fist back.
The pulling sensation from the shoulder and back to the knuckles is most noticeable.
"The feeling of energy is like a rope... a noose... a unified force."
One of the advantages of ancient boxing is that it cultivates the whole body's integrated strength, a point that may not be fully appreciated before one has even begun to learn the art.
But after he mastered the basics of boxing, especially after reaching the absolute standard of power exertion, he truly experienced the power of ancient boxing.
This is a technique completely different from modern combat sports.
He had learned about ancient boxing techniques on the Chaoba forum. One poster had used forging to compare ancient boxing techniques with modern combat sports.
Modern combat sports are a process of hammering and forging points and lines, which can be hammered into iron rods, swords, or even folded and forged into refined iron.
But that's the limit; it can't escape the concept of 'ironware'.
The ancient boxing method is different. It belongs to the hammering and forging of the surface and the body. It is no longer bound by shape. It treats the iron as a whole and hammers it.
Perhaps in the early stages it was just an ordinary iron ball, with attack power far inferior to swords and blades.
However, its upper limit is very high, ridiculously high, to the point that it can reach a terrifying level similar to 'nuclear fusion'.
Although the poster may have exaggerated, the reality is that the potential of ancient martial arts is higher than that of modern combat sports.
However, most people do not have the qualifications, and even more people do not have the opportunity to learn ancient martial arts.
These days he has been searching online for information about ancient boxing techniques, but most of it is just hearsay or rumors.
It seems as if an invisible hand is deliberately downplaying the influence of ancient martial arts.
And in fact, it is very effective if he is not a pharmacy student, or if he has not come into contact with the existence of the 'secret medicine'.
Then he wouldn't bother to learn about ancient martial arts, and probably wouldn't have the opportunity to learn them.
Unless he reaches the pinnacle of modern combat sports someday in the future, I might approach him with a desire to learn more.
Then I started to regret not knowing this sooner.
After researching online, he felt somewhat disconnected from the situation.
It's obvious that the boxing gym is connected to a violent institution like the police superintendent's office.
But online, he's practically invisible.
It felt like someone was suppressing the ancient martial arts style, and the ancient martial arts style was also fighting back very hard, but in the end, the arm couldn't twist the thigh.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and stopped thinking about it.
Continue punching, and with each punch you can feel the energy within your body flowing along the meridians to your limbs.
Time flew by, and the sky gradually darkened. Lin Ye came out of the bathroom and gently dried his hair.
"monument."
