Chapter 459: Swallowing the Elixirs
"Yes, Hero Ding. Please reconsider!"
"Hero Ding..."
"Hero Ding..."
...
In an instant, the hall was filled with voices of sincere and anxious hope, mixed with unease and urging!
It was very obvious.
The martial arts heroes present were all afraid that Ding Ling would agree, which would cause Great Song to lose its advantage! Each one was tense, staring at Ding Ling stiffly.
At this moment.
Ding Ling seemed to have become the center of the world.
Became the origin of the storm!
Hoduo watched on the side, becoming increasingly angry, fearing that Ding Ling would be swayed by the words and affect the plans of Mongolia, immediately furrowing his brows and looking coldly at the crowd, sneering:
"One after another using moral coercion on Hero Ding, don’t you find it despicable and vile?"
His eyes shone as he looked at Ding Ling, cupping his hands respectfully, saying loudly:
"Hero Ding. We in Mongolia admire and fear you greatly! We regard you as the new God of the Prairie! If you follow me to Mongolia as the National Preceptor,
these gifts are just a token. Our Great Khan will surely offer you the best treasures and the most beautiful women in return."
Little Dragon Girl had been listening on the side.
She had no reaction to anything else, but when she heard about the most beautiful flowers on the prairie and the most beautiful women, she couldn’t help but glance at him. She saw the pair of twin girls indeed had bright eyes, fair skin, and a clear, refined beauty.
She turned her gaze to Ding Ling, wanting to see his reaction, and upon seeing Ding Ling not even glancing at the twin beauties, she inexplicably felt a sense of calmness, as if the storm was quelled.
She didn’t care about what others were saying or discussing, only having Ding Ling in her heart and mind; as long as he was well, she felt happy.
"Haha."
Huang Rong couldn’t help but mock:
"Hero Ding is a generation hero; how could he be swayed by your petty gifts? You underestimate Hero Ding too much!"
This was openly flattering Ding Ling.
Yet it was also a fear of Ding Ling being swayed! Having said so much before, Huang Rong still felt it was not enough. Once again, she praised and flattered him under the watchful eyes of everyone.
It was apparent how high and important Ding Ling’s position was in her heart!
In an instant.
The storm raged again.
Huang Rong and Hoduo exchanged sharp words, ’going back and forth,’ refusing to yield.
Though it was a verbal dispute, the scene’s atmosphere was extremely cold and chilling.
Ding Ling saw this couldn’t continue, so he directly said:
"If any of you have the courage, tie up Hoduo and question him to see what Mongolian schemes are aimed against me."
As soon as these words fell.
Huang Rong’s eyes brightened, and without hesitation, she immediately picked up a Dog Beating Stick and rushed towards Hoduo, shouting:
"Brother Jing!"
Guo Jing immediately stepped forward, blocking Hoduo’s path.
Hoduo’s face changed dramatically; his folding fan snapped shut, readying for defense.
Watching as Huang Rong really unceremoniously came at him.
Hoduo defended while loudly saying:
"You shameless bunch. It’s against the rules to harm envoys between two warring nations; do you want to tear down the face? Do you want to ignore the tacit agreement and rules?"
Huang Rong ignored him, displaying the Dog Beating Stick Technique, the stick shadows overwhelming Hoduo instantly.
Hoduo was no match for Huang Rong.
In one move, he was knocked to the ground, and several heroes immediately rushed out from the sides, tying Hoduo up.
Hoduo continued to struggle, shouting:
"Hero Ding, Hero Ding, our Great Khan has sincere feelings for you; you can’t ignore it! Hero Ding..."
Snap!
Hoduo was directly knocked unconscious by someone, then dragged away.
Waiting for him would be some special interrogation techniques from the martial arts heroes.
"Whew."
Huang Rong saw Hoduo was really taken away, and only then did her suspended heart settle down completely. She solemnly looked at Ding Ling and said:
"Please rest assured, Hero Ding. What I promised you, I will always keep in mind! Strive to complete our promise as soon as possible."
Ding Ling didn’t answer definitively.
He, through Observing People Skill, performance skills, psychology, and other full-level skills, could somewhat see through Huang Rong’s thoughts.
She was worried he might be dissatisfied with the Great Song Court and thus defect to Mongolia.
Or be swayed by temptation and ignore the battle at Xiangyang.
"We will also give Hero Ding a satisfactory explanation for Hoduo’s matter as soon as possible."
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Huang Rong called him Hero Ding at every turn, giving Ding Ling plenty of face. Ding Ling didn’t act proud and simply said:
"We’re so familiar, just use my name."
Huang Rong smiled slightly, feeling more relaxed:
"Alright. Ding Ling, we’re friends. Being too formal is my fault."
She looked at the gold, great medicine, and the pair of bewildered beauties, saying:
"How do you plan to deal with them?"
"I’ll take the gold and great medicine. Let the twin girls return from where they came."
"Alright."
Huang Rong nodded, immediately letting people move the great medicine and gold to Ding Ling’s room.
Ding Ling didn’t hesitate.
After returning to the room.
He immediately began consuming the great medicine.
Over a hundred plants of great medicine more than two hundred years old!
Crunch, crunch!
Ding Ling finished eating a two-hundred-year-old great medicine.
He activated the Five Great Breathing Techniques for rapid refinement.
There was no indication of four-dimensional attribute points.
Ding Ling carefully sensed it, and only felt a warm sensation flowing through his limbs before disappearing shortly, realizing he had eaten too much great medicine before.
The two-hundred-year-old great medicine no longer had much effect on him.
So he picked up the three-hundred-year-old ones to eat.
This time after eating.
Almost instantly.
[Strength +0.1]
[Agility +0.1]
[Constitution +0.1]
[Defense +0.1]
The refinement of the Five Great Breathing Techniques was as uniform as ever.
Ding Ling began to sweep through.
His Qingnang Scripture and Medicine King Breathing Technique were all at full level, allowing him to clearly see the approximate age of these great medicines.
Most were two hundred years old, around fifty plants.
Three hundred years old, thirty plants.
Others were four to five hundred years old.
Clearly, those over a thousand years old were not something the Great Khan of Mongolia would bring out at this time. If Ding Ling went to Mongolia as National Preceptor, perhaps he would enjoy thousand-year-old medicine.
But perhaps he would fall into a larger trap.
Ding Ling dared not underestimate the ancients.
Kebineng teamed up with Hai Dafu, Hong Antong, and others, supporting his thousands of elite army troops, and player groups, burning down Shaolin Temple, stealing Nine Yang Divine Skill, and perfectly framing him.
From this point alone, it could be seen that the cunning and strategy of the ancients were definitely not inferior to modern people.
This was just Kebineng.
If it were Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Liu Bowen and the like, Ding Ling probably would have to kneel!
So Ding Ling chose to strengthen his skills as always, just like the Three Kingdoms World, where he was strong enough that Guo Jia could only ’sigh’ and ’comply obediently’!
Crunch, crunch!
All the great medicine, as soon as they entered his stomach, would be rapidly refined.
The Five Great Breathing Techniques operated simultaneously, and no medicinal power could withstand a blink’s refinement.
Therefore.
After eating.
Ding Ling’s four-dimensional attributes immediately increased:
[Strength +4.1]
[Agility +3.9]
[Constitution +2.1]
[Defense +4.1]
This was still due to the increasing resistance from eating great medicine.
As things progressed.
The effect of the four to five hundred year great medicine was constantly decreasing on Ding Ling. Three hundred years were even less worth mentioning.
After eating the great medicine.
Strength increase status:
[Root bone 3 (ordinary person is 1 point), Wisdom 4.2, Strength 59.3, Agility 60, Constitution 60, Defense 52.2, Charm 11.7]
