After leaving the pond, Sun Zhengguo saw that it was still early, so he continued collecting herbs.
At lunchtime, Sun Zhengguo specially roasted a pheasant in his space. After finishing his meal, he took a short rest in his space before leisurely searching for herbs.
At 3 p.m., Sun Zhengguo had arrived at the outer edge of the mountain and was preparing to descend.
Before leaving, he caught a few pheasants to treat his family to a good meal when he got home that night. When he reached the foot of the mountain and saw that no one was around, he took out two turtles.
When he got home, his grandparents breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their grandson return. Then, looking at the pheasant and turtle in his hands, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhengguo, this bastard must weigh seven or eight pounds, right? Can you eat this thing?"
Turtle is something that is not commonly seen, let alone eaten, so Grandma asked curiously.
"Why can't you eat it? You can eat a lot of it, and it's also very nourishing. It can help men nourish their kidneys and it can also beautify women's skin."
The adults looked on incredulously, almost saying, "I don't believe you!"
The brothers saw this and started poking at it with small sticks.
"You guys be careful, it hurts a lot if it bites you, and it won't let go."
Sun Zhengguo's words frightened the brothers so much that they dropped their sticks and stopped playing.
"But I don't know how to do it, what should I do?"
Then Grandma raised a new question.
"It's alright, Grandma, I can cook. You can all rest today and just wait to eat. I'll let you taste my cooking."
Sun Zhengguo boasted.
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he arranged for several of his brothers to boil water and then began to slaughter the animals.
After more than an hour of busy work, the two tables, one large and one small, were full of people. The aroma wafting through the air was enough to make one's mouth water.
Sun Zhengguo didn't keep everyone waiting long; two large basins were brought to the table.
"Everyone, come and try this. This dish is called 'Farewell My King's Chicken'."
Sun Zhengguo explained as he spoke.
The whole family had been waiting for half a day and were already starving. Before Sun Zhengguo could finish speaking, they had already started eating.
"Mmm! Delicious, so delicious!"
"This sauce tastes amazing on steamed buns!"
Everyone kept praising the food as they ate, and they couldn't stop. When Sun Zhengguo saw this, he quickly sat down at the table and started eating. If he waited any longer, there probably wouldn't even be any soup left.
After everyone finished eating, there was no soup left in the two basins; they were all cleaned up with steamed buns.
Just look at everyone's bellies and expressions, and you'll know how popular this dish is.
After finishing their meal, the women cleared away the dishes, while the brothers played Dou Dizhu (a card game), and the adults watched with great interest.
It wasn't until after 9 p.m. that everyone dispersed and went to sleep.
Lying in bed, Sun Zhengguo's mind entered the space. The first batch of rice had ripened today, and the rice was being harvested at this moment.
Only about an hour had passed after all the work was finished, and I still had plenty of energy.
Looking at the rice stored in the warehouse, Sun Zhengguo exited the spatial dimension and went to sleep contentedly.
…………
The next day, early morning.
Sun Zhengguo was practicing his boxing seriously. Unlike before, Sun Zhengguo felt like he was in top form today. His boxing was full of charm, and with each punch, he could clearly feel his blood and energy increasing.
The feeling was like being addicted to opium, making it impossible to stop. Sun Zhengguo didn't know what was going on either, and there was no explanation in the book.
But he knew it probably wasn't a bad thing, so he continued practicing.
As I practiced, my Qi and blood finally reached a critical point, bursting forth from within my body like a balloon exploding.
At this moment, Sun Zhengguo was like a human volcano, needing to vent his anger.
At this point, Sun Zhengguo could only release his explosive power by punching. He threw punch after punch, each punch carrying a gust of wind. Even the trees next to him couldn't withstand the force of a single punch, which shows how powerful he was.
It's unclear how much time passed, but Sun Zhengguo gradually calmed down after the torrent within him was exhausted.
"This is a breakthrough? It feels so unreal. I haven't even started soaking the herbs yet."
Sun Zhengguo was even a little angry. He had carefully prepared a medicinal bath, but the other person was just a little short of breaking through and didn't give him any face at all.
I was completely unprepared, just practicing normally, when I suddenly broke through without warning, catching me off guard and almost causing me to suffer a qi deviation.
Sun Zhengguo examined his body and found that he was in no discomfort. He was completely different from the crazy boxing he had just practiced. His strength was more than twice what it used to be.
He glanced at a broken tree next to him, as thick as an adult's arm. He guessed it was from when he was acting crazy earlier. No wonder his strength had increased so much.
Thinking about what happened today, Sun Zhengguo decided to ask his grandfather.
After returning home, I washed up, ate breakfast quickly, and went to my maternal grandfather's house, only to find that he wasn't home; he had gone to the village committee.
Sun Zhengguo then went to the village branch and found Lin Hong, who was drinking tea.
"Jung-guk, what brings you here? How did you end up here?"
When his grandfather asked, Sun Zhengguo answered truthfully.
"Grandpa, I got up early to practice my martial arts, and suddenly I broke through a breakthrough. How did that happen?"
After listening to his grandson's description, Lin Hong didn't really understand, but being an old hand at the world, he thought about it for a moment and roughly understood, and then said.
"The book doesn't explain this situation, but it also doesn't stipulate that you have to take a medicinal bath to break through. Aren't you a perfect example?"
After hearing his grandfather's explanation, Sun Zhengguo was speechless. What kind of explanation was that?
Seeing that his grandson was still puzzled, Lin Hong spoke again.
"Don't you understand? You have high aptitude, so you can break through faster with medicine, and you can also break through without medicine. Others can't compare to you, so you need medicine to assist you every time you break through."
After listening to his grandfather's explanation, Sun Zhengguo understood one thing: when one's aptitude is high enough, one can overcome any bottlenecks even without medication.
On the way back, Sun Zhengguo was bored, so he used his mental power to play with the nails.
After playing for a while, Sun Zhengguo realized something was wrong. This time the distance was a bit far, definitely more than 17 meters, or even further.
So he went to the grove he often visited, and after several tests, he got the results: his mental strength had increased by 5 meters, and now it could extend to 21 meters.
Unexpectedly, this physical breakthrough led to a breakthrough in mental strength as well; it was truly a pleasant surprise.
After completing the test, Sun Zhengguo put the iron nail into his spatial storage and prepared to go back, little did he know that an even bigger surprise awaited him.
It turned out that when the nail was put into the space, Sun Zhengguo inadvertently discovered that the space seemed to have become larger.
Sun Zhengguo quickly entered the space to investigate and found that the space was twice as large as usual.
Looking at the pond that had been enlarged and the empty piece of land, Sun Zhengguo stood aside and grinned foolishly.
Today's luck is truly unparalleled, with a triple surprise.
We can't just leave the newly vacated land unattended.
Sun Zhengguo plans to plant some vegetables, a few fruit trees, and raise a flock of chickens, because these things are very easy to find in the countryside.
After leaving the space, Sun Zhengguo returned to his grandfather's house and began collecting seeds everywhere.
