Starting from the border troops, I've worked my way up to become a Martial Emperor.

Chapter 29 Deducing the Cultivation Technique

"This time we've had quite a haul. We've gained a full 125 merit points, along with armor, horses, weapons, and rewards, which amount to 3,213 taels of silver."

After the quartermaster finished counting, he recorded Lu Yuan's military merits and then sent over the silver.

Three of the notes were 1,000 taels of silver, and the other two hundred taels were silver ingots, which were packed in a bag.

Lu Yuan, carrying the things, said with a smile, "Thank you."

After saying that, he walked towards the armory.

He's going to exchange for Dragon Scale Grass today and then break through to the next level.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Bone Forging stage, one's combat strength will also increase significantly.

Looking at the supplies displayed in the warehouse.

Lu Yuan went straight to where the dragon scale grass was kept and took it out.

At the same time, hand over two thousand taels of silver, and the item will belong to you.

After completing the transaction, I headed home.

Along the way, many people cast their gazes at him; Lu Yuan was now completely famous.

Not long after killing Iron Falcon, they fought a fierce battle outside the city for a month, taking the heads of over a hundred northern barbarians.

This gave Icefield City a huge sigh of relief.

"See that? That's Lu Yuan. He's the one who wiped out the Iron Falcons. I heard he's been fighting outside the city for over a month now, and he alone killed more than a hundred Northern Barbarian scouts."

"Hiss, it's been many years since Icefield City has seen such a powerful figure."

......

A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding area.

Looking at the data above, Lu Yuan's lips curled up.

Finally, I can break through, and the cultivation technique can continue to be developed.

This means that one's strength will increase significantly once again.

Taking it to the next level is no problem at all.

However, at that very moment, he was unbearably hungry.

He knew this was a side effect of the breakthrough, and was preparing to eat something first and then break through later.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a rapid knocking at the door.

"Is Brother Yuan there?" It was Xiao Hua.

Lu Yuan put away the panel, got up and walked out of the courtyard.

"Sizzle!"

Upon opening the door, I saw the other person standing outside, pale-faced, clutching their clothes, looking somewhat nervous.

"What happened?" Lu Yuan asked hurriedly.

Xiao Hua nodded, but did not speak.

"There's nothing we can't talk about. Is something wrong with your aunt?" Lu Yuan continued to ask.

"Half a month ago, my mother's condition, which had been improving, suddenly worsened, and she started coughing up blood. The medicines we had bought in the past were no longer effective."

But we don't have the money to hire a doctor." Xiao Hua's voice choked up as she spoke.

She knew she shouldn't trouble Lu Yuan, but she had no other choice but to contact him.

"I'll go take a look." As Lu Yuan spoke, he walked towards the next room.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a faint odor of blood. Xiao Hua’s mother was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a sallow complexion, looking completely different from when I last saw her.

A basin, soaked with blood, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"A-Yuan is back, please sit down," Madam Xiao said, forcing herself to sit down.

"Auntie, you rest. I'll go find a doctor." Lu Yuan said and then left.

Before an incense stick's time had passed, he returned with an old man, who was the city defense battalion's physician and considered the best doctor in the entire Icefield City.

However, the cost of making a house call is quite high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to hire one. It's only because Lu Yuan has influence in the military and is willing to pay that he's coming.

Upon entering, he frowned upon seeing Xiao's appearance, then stepped forward and began to take her pulse.

Xiao Hua stood nervously to the side, not daring to make a sound, while Madam Xiao just kept coughing and breathing heavily.

"This injury has been dragging on for quite a while. Luckily, I came today, otherwise I would have either died or suffered serious health problems. I'll write down a prescription for you to get the medicine. Take it for half a month first, then come back to me for a different prescription. You should be much better after three months."

After the physician finished speaking, he sat down to the side, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his medicine box, and wrote out a prescription.

After delivering it to Lu Yuan, he instructed, "Hurry up and get the medicine. It needs to be taken today; the illness cannot be delayed any longer."

Hearing him say that, Xiao Hua's heart tightened.

Lu Yuan responded repeatedly, and at the same time took out two silver ingots, about twenty taels in total, and stuffed them into the physician's hand: "Thank you very much, Lord Tian, ​​for your trouble."

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony. We're all comrades in the army, so there's no need to mention any trouble. Just remember to contact me in half a month."

After saying that, he packed his things and left.

Lu Yuan turned to Xiao Hua: "Take this money and go get the medicine first. If you need more, just let me know. This is not the time to be polite, understand?"

After speaking, he handed Xiao Hua a money pouch and a prescription.

The other person pursed their lips, nodded, and then took the silver to go out and buy medicine.

About half an hour later, after Xiao Hua returned, Lu Yuan went back to his own home.

Then, after eating some dry rations by the stove, I opened the system panel again and selected Breakthrough.
