Chapter 002: One-Star Branch Mission

  ♂?,,

  "Sweat, if I dont finish this daily task, Ill have to crawl back to the academy today!" Xinsong said.

  But thinking of that woman in his memory who fought for herself until her last breath, Xin Lang gritted his teeth and persisted.

  "My meridians are blocked, and its hard to cultivate my martial arts to the extreme. Now that heaven has sent me an upgrade device, if I dont seize this opportunity, what kind of man am I? How can I protect my woman?"

  With a firm conviction in his heart, Xin Lang seriously completed one action after another.

  Xin Lang fell several times, but as long as he regained a bit of strength, he would continue to complete his task.

  One hundred palms pressed down...

  One hundred sit-ups...

  One hundred consecutive punches...

  One hundred straight punches...

  One hundred positive kicks...

  One hundred side kicks...

  ……

  ……

  Knocked down, after resting, Xinlang got up again and continued to work.

  "Done! Daily task completed, reward experience points!"

  After completing his last side kick, Xin Lang heard the system prompt, he could no longer support his heavy body and fell to the ground, fainting.

  When Xīn Làng woke up, the sun had already set. He dragged his tired body back to Jiǔ Yáng Citys Xù Yáng College.

  Jiuyang City was an ordinary city in the Great Xia Dynasty, but its nine martial arts academies were famous throughout the dynasty 300 years ago.

  Xin Langs alma mater, Xu Yang Wu Ji Academy, is one of them. However, in the past century or so, Jiucheng City has only produced a few well-known martial artists from the three academies of Shengyang, Liyang and Sheyang, while the other six academies have all declined and are facing the crisis of bankruptcy.

  Xin Lang went to Sheng Yang, Lie Yang and She Yang martial arts academies one after another, but was rejected by all of them. Even when Xin Lang knelt in front of the gate of Luo Yang Martial Arts Academy for three days and nights, they still didnt accept him.

  The new principal of Xiangyang Wujiguan Academy, in order to save the academys fate, boldly carried out reforms, changed the business model, and introduced the reform measure of recruiting "negotiable students". Xin Lang was the first "beneficiary".

  Originally, Xin Lang was searching for Blue Silver Grass to prepare a medicine to unblock the meridians, but today, in order to complete the daily task of the "Upgrade Device", he is so tired that his eyelids are too lazy to lift, so after returning to the dormitory of the Academy, Xin Lang fell asleep on the bed.

  The next morning, the first thing Xin Lang did after opening his eyes was to check the upgrade device. Seeing the upgraded interface, Xin Langs heart was excited and he said, "Everything is real, it seems that everything that happened yesterday wasnt a dream!"

  Xin Lang also saw that in the first storage space of the "backpack", his own medicine was quietly placed there!

  Last night, Xinlang was really too tired and forgot to process the Blue Silver Grass after returning. It wasnt until now that he remembered it! Xinlang needed to extract juice from the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, but if the grass had wilted, not only would the extraction be impossible, but the medicinal effect would also decrease by several times.

  Xin Lang regretted in his heart, last night he forgot to process the Blue Silver Grass. Although he had obtained an upgrade equipment, he temporarily didnt need medicine to comfort and unblock his meridians, but the juice of Blue Silver Grass was also very valuable, otherwise Xin Lang wouldnt have gone through so much trouble to pick it himself.

  When Xinsong took out the Blue Silver Grass from his "backpack", he was surprised to find that these Blue Silver Grass were not withered at all, still retaining the freshness of being just picked.

  "This backpack actually has a fresh-keeping function, so next time when buying vegetables and medicine, I wont have to worry about the preservation method for Chinese herbal medicine!"

  The medicine that comforts the nerves is temporarily not needed, but he now needs a quick recovery of physical strength, otherwise, every day, Xin Lang can only complete the "daily task" of the upgrade device that takes lives, and nothing else can be done!

  Xin Lang opened the taskbar, hoping in his heart that todays "daily tasks" would be simpler!

  Just as Xin Lang opened the taskbar, a special task suddenly popped up in the upgrade interface!

  Side quest: Brew a potion that quickly restores physical strength. No formula, no brewing method! Successful brewing, reward 5 experience points! Brewing failure, no penalty!

  At the bottom of the task, there is also a small golden star, indicating that the difficulty level of this side task is: one-star.

  "A one-star side quest?"

  Xin Lang knew that this star level was the difficulty of the task, but what did "branch mission" mean? Xin Lang couldnt understand it. "Was there another type of task?"

  Xinlang has just come into contact with the upgrade device, and many of its functions still need to be explored step by step.

  The Revival Potion was something Xin Luo had originally planned to concoct anyway, and now the Upgrade Device had given him such a task, it was just like giving him free experience points.

  Although the upgrade device did not provide a formula for configuring a physical strength recovery potion, for Xin Lang, who was once a master pharmacist, configuring a physical strength recovery potion was just childs play!

  The only problem Xīn Làng is facing now is the cost of ingredients for his prescriptions, as he is not in a good financial situation. His parents died early and all the savings they left him were used to pay the tuition fees for his studies at Xǔ Yáng Academy!

  The materials he used to prepare the Su Jing Tong Luo medicine were all picked by himself, while the materials for preparing the physical strength recovery medicine were not available in his hands. The daily tasks of picking herbs and upgrading equipment could not be done at the same time, and Xin Lang still had to go to school, it was impossible to go to the mountain to pick herbs like yesterday.

  But this is also nothing to Xīn Làng, who now appears to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. However, before his rebirth, Xīn Làng had already experienced twenty-nine years of life, which is incomparable to that of people of the same age today.

  Xin Lang asked for a day off from college after having breakfast and then returned to his dormitory.

  Xin Langs dormitory is different from other students because Xin Lang is a "negotiated student" and his tuition fee is ten times that of ordinary students, so his treatment is also much better than that of ordinary students. Other students are four people in one dormitory, while Xin Lang has a luxurious suite all to himself.

  Xin Lang transformed his room into a workshop, where he had all the equipment needed to configure medicines. After buying all these things, Xin Lang was almost bankrupt!

  But Xīn Làng wasnt afraid either. With these things, he wouldnt worry about not making money. In his past life, he was a 9th-level master of pharmacy!

  Pharmacists are divided into: apprentices, pharmacists, pharmacist masters, and pharmacy sages, with each level further divided into ten sub-levels.

  A ninth-grade pharmacist master, there are hardly a few in the entire Daxia Dynasty, and at least now, even Jiucheng doesnt have a single first-grade pharmacist master.

  Xin Lang first extracted the juice of the Blue Silver Grass, then took out the materials he had collected earlier. After a complex process of testing and matching, Xin Lang prepared three small bottles of red medicine.

  These three small bottles of medicine are called "Red Flower Blue Silver Dew". Originally, Xin Lang was going to prepare "Blue Silver Red Flower Dew", but people with congenital deficiencies in the meridians are rare, and even in a small city like Jiuyang, there is only one such person, which is why Xin Lang prepared the Blue Silver Red Flower Dew that relaxes the meridians. Even if it could be sold, it wouldnt fetch a good price.

  So Xinlang did not prepare the Blue Silver Red Flower Dew for treating meridian defects, but instead prepared the Red Flower Blue Silver Dew.

  The names of the two medicines are almost the same, but the positions of red flower and blue silver are different, and their properties are quite different. The Red Flower Blue Silver Dew now prepared by Xinlang takes red flower as the main ingredient and blue silver grass as the auxiliary, mainly treating injuries from falls and bruises, and promoting blood circulation to remove stasis.

  Xin Lang put the three small bottles of Red Flower Blue Silver Dew into the first grid of the upgrade device backpack, then left the dormitory.

  Xin Lang wants to sell the three bottles of Red Flower Blue Silver Dew in his hand and then buy the medicinal materials needed for the Rejuvenation Potion.

  At this time, the Xuyang Martial Arts Academy was in class, and Xin Lang thought he wouldnt meet anyone, but as soon as he left his dormitory, he bumped into a fat man with a furious face.

  This fat guy is usually okay, but hes so fat that its scary. Xinlang roughly estimated that his weight was at least 250 pounds or more. Not being knocked flying by him is already a blessing.

  "Watch where youre going!" Xinsong shouted.

  Xin Lang had met this chubby kid twice, he was a classmate from the neighboring dormitory, named Gu Ge, and was the second "price negotiator" of Xuan Yang Wuji Academy.

  Gu Pangzi saw that he had knocked Xin Lang to the ground, and immediately put on a smile of apology. He helped Xin Lang up from the ground and said: "Its classmate Xin Lang, its all my fault, I was in a hurry and didnt mean to hurt you!"

  Because they were both "born to bargain", Xin Lang had a feeling of being connected by the same illness. He patted the dust off his buttocks and said, "Forget it, be more careful next time! Hey, whats wrong with your face?"

  Xin Lang saw that Gu Pangzis face had two very obvious bruises, and when he accompanied a smile, the pain made the fat on his face twitch.

  When Xin Lang asked this, Fat Song immediately became angry and said: "Its those bastards from our class. They tried to extort me after school but failed, so theyre taking advantage of us under the guise of negotiating prices!"

  "Huh...?" Xin Lang said: "Obviously I was bullied, how did you count me in too?!"

  Seeing the wound on Gu Ges face, Xin Lang took out a bottle of red medicine from his bosom, which was exactly the "Hong Hua Lan Yin Lu" he had just refined.

  Xin Lang said: "I have a bottle of medicine here that specializes in treating bruises and injuries. Take it and rub it on!"

  Under Xin Langs guidance, Gu Pangzi applied Xin Langs "Red Flower Blue Silver Dew" to the bruise on his face.

  "Ah......" Gu Pangzi exclaimed: "What kind of medicine is this? How did I feel a significant relief from the pain just after applying it?"

  The bruise on Gu Baos face changed immediately after applying Xin Langs "Red Flower Blue Silver Dew", turning from blue to red, and the injured area quickly dissipated.

  "This medicine is called Red Flower Dew!" Xīn Làng didnt reveal the true name of the medicine, "Red Flower Blue Silver Dew", in order to conceal its ingredients.

  "Red Flower Dew!" Gu Pangzi said: "This medicine is not for sale, Ill go buy two more bottles!"

  Xin Lang smiled and said: "Sorry, this medicine is passed down from my familys ancestors, only available in our household, nowhere else!"

  "Hehe!" Gu Pangzi smiled slyly: "How about that classmate sends me two more bottles?"

  "Thats not possible!" Xin Lang said: "Although I still have two bottles, they are my family heirloom now. I want to take them out to sell for money to use as living expenses for this semester! Giving away one bottle just now was already very heart-wrenching!"

  "How much?" Gu Pangzi slapped his chest and said: "Brother, Ill buy it!"
