Chapter 77 [Ingredient Name: Winged Marquis Golden Cauldron and Sacrificial Qi]
"Squeak~~"
Pushing open the wooden door carved with classical patterns, Lin Ye and Jiang Muyu entered the auction house warehouse.
The room that comes into view is huge, with transparent glass cabinets of different sizes embedded in the four walls, displaying all kinds of antiques.
"Here you go, these are the keys. Take whichever one you want to see."
"My sister needs to go and sort out this batch of goods with those old men."
Jiang Muyu handed over a set of keys.
After she left, Lin Ye's gaze swept over the antiques.
Although it can be confirmed that these are all genuine, only two of them contain ingredients.
He didn't rush to open it. He strolled around, occasionally opening a cabinet, taking out an antique to examine, and then putting it back after a while.
A dozen minutes later, he stopped in front of a glass cabinet the size of a washbasin.
The glass case displays the head of a bronze dagger-axe, its surface rusted, the blade completely dulled, and several chips.
【Ingredient Name: Battle Marrow and Blood】
[Ingredient Category: Blood Residue]
[Ingredient Tier: Mortal Tier]
Edible part: the whole body
[Effects of Consumption: Slightly improves constitution and agility attributes, and slightly increases blood weight and bone density.]
Aside from the different name, it has similar effects to "Martial Arts Champion's Marrow and Blood".
The only difference is that one focuses on strength, while the other focuses on agility.
This may be related to the fact that the two have different uses.
That stone lock was used by the martial arts champion to hone his physical body, while this broken halberd was a weapon used on the battlefield.
For soldiers, on the battlefield, individual combat skills alone are often not enough to survive.
If someone is too strong and acts too bravely, they may not be able to break through the battlefield, but they will most likely be surrounded and killed.
On the contrary, in many cases, being able to hide is the key to survival.
Therefore, the martial arts champion leans towards strength, while the owner of this broken halberd, that veteran of a hundred battles, leans towards agility.
"Click~"
Using the key to unlock the cabinet, Lin Ye gently picked up the broken spear. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against the blade, and a streak of scarlet blood seeped into his fingertips.
After a while, he put the broken weapon back in its place and his gaze fell on the monument on the back of his hand.
[Agility: 0.76]
Only his agility attribute increased by 0.01, but although his strength attribute remained unchanged on the monument, he could feel his strength increasing.
His punching power at this point was close to 610 kilograms.
He turned his gaze away and continued admiring the antiques, eventually stopping in front of a huge glass case.
It is square and has a side length of over five meters, making it the largest glass case in the entire warehouse.
A huge bronze cauldron sits inside, its surface engraved with unknown animal patterns, and some characters in the center of the front.
However, most of these characters have been covered by rust, and only some remnants can be vaguely seen.
It roughly means praying to heaven to bless future generations with good fortune.
【Ingredient Name: Yihou Golden Cauldron and Sacrificial Qi】
[Ingredient Category: Qi]
[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]
Edible part: the whole body
[Effects of Consumption: Moderately improves physical and intelligence attributes; moderately improves reproductive ability, stamina, and essence quality.]
The character '暨' in ancient times meant the continuation of offspring, so this effect is not surprising.
Opening the glass case, Lin Ye walked to the bronze cauldron and gently touched the animal patterns on its surface.
A wisp of almost transparent golden energy extended along his arm and entered his body through his breath.
In an instant, a warm current spread from his lower abdomen, and his whole body began to feel hot, his skin turning slightly red.
Lin Ye leaned against the bronze cauldron, his body trembling slightly as he forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart.
It took a full ten minutes for the strange feeling in my heart to slowly subside.
Looking at the monument,
[Physical Fitness: 0.87]
【Intelligence: 0.69】
Physical fitness increased by 0.02, and intelligence increased by an even more significant 0.04.
He had a feeling that his intelligence had reached a certain point.
This sense of enhancement is completely different from other three-dimensional attributes.
He recalled that when his intelligence attribute broke through 0.60, it felt like he had broken through a certain threshold, and he had a very clear sense of improvement.
Now, he has reached the second node of the intelligence attribute.
He didn't know how this way of improving intelligence was different from the other three-dimensional attributes.
But he always had a feeling that his intelligence attribute might be related to the path of that mysterious alchemist.
That might be a transcendent path completely different from secret martial arts.
He put away the monument, clenched his fist slightly, and felt a surge of power within him.
Although the increase in punching power from improving the Constitution attribute is not as significant as that from improving the Strength attribute, the increase of 0.02 attribute values is still quite noticeable.
His current punching power level definitely exceeds 620 kilograms.
If he consumes a few more ingredients that enhance his strength or physical attributes, then after completing the Soft Vibration Tempering and stepping into the Hard Vibration level, his punching power should exceed 700 kilograms.
A difference of over 100 kilograms in punching power within the same weight class is no longer a difference between strong and weak, but a crushing difference.
Even Lei Long might not be a match for him.
Even against a master who has reached the fifth level of the Soul Whale Fist and mastered the "Shock Formation" level, he can still defeat them.
This is the terrifying difference brought about by a strong foundation—the noble independent riding zone.
"With my current strength, I should be able to kill that spider, right?"
"After I return this time, I should also finish dealing with the past shrouded in darkness."
I wonder what achievements the Dark Spider Queen will trigger?
"The ingredient... is probably the heart, right?"
Composing himself, he stepped out of the glass cabinet and locked it again.
As I stepped out of the warehouse, a young man dressed as a doorman bowed slightly at the door.
"Mr. Lin, the boss instructed that you can rest for a while after you come out, and you can tell me if you need anything."
Lin Ye handed over the keychain, "No need, it's my first time at Tieqin. I'm going out for a walk. Please give the keys to Sister Jiang for me."
The young doorman took the key. "Okay, Mr. Lin."
"The auction house's private phone number is seven sevens. As long as you are within the city of Tieqin, dialing this number will automatically connect you to the auction house's internal line."
"The boss said that Mr. Lin can call this number no matter what trouble he encounters. Of course, the boss would prefer you to call her private number instead."
As he spoke, he handed over a black card with a gilded border and a string of gold numbers inside.
Lin Ye looked at the black card, nodded, and casually took it.
"This is troublesome."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. Please, I'll take you out."
As Lin Ye left the auction house, he looked west. The sun was already close to the horizon and was no longer so dazzling.
Some reddish sunset light shone on the iron-gray city buildings of Tieqin City.
Despite the bustling crowds and heavy traffic, there was a strange sense of desolation.
He took out his phone and dialed Lin Yu's number.
"Beep—beep—"
"Ono?"
"Sister, I've arrived in Tieqin City. I'm at the entrance of an auction house called 'Twilight Rain'."
"We've arrived? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"Uh, I'm lost."
"Oh? Wait for me a minute, I'll come pick you up!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye looked away, glanced back at the auction house, and found a place to sit down.
About twenty minutes later, after refusing the auction house doorman's offer of drinks for the third time, a red sports car screeched to a halt in front of him.
"Bang!"
A tall figure in high heels stepped out of the car, wearing an eye-catching red dress. She looked around and then took out her phone, somewhat puzzled.
"sister."
Lin Ye stood up and went to greet him, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Can't you see me, a grown man?"
The tall figure paused, looked up at the tall man in front of her, and tilted her head after seeing his face clearly.
"Ono, you can't just take medicine randomly!"
