Jiang Yuan turned around and saw that the person speaking was Li Tiegen.
"Uncle Li, you figured it out?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
Li Tiegen stopped what he was doing and said, "Your injuries have damaged your foundation, and your self-healing ability is basically paralyzed. If this continues, it will directly affect your potential."
"right!"
Jiang Yuan nodded. He was very clear about his condition. Although the upper limit of his divine power had not changed, his body could no longer store divine power. Even if he relied on the Holy Spirit Stone to recover a few dozen points, they would be completely lost in a very short time.
Furthermore, his injuries had begun to worsen after being poisoned by the Corpse Vulture, and his own regenerative abilities were completely paralyzed. If it weren't for Shenmu Dian and Leng Yue's revival, he would be lying down with a cloth covering him, and the whole village would be waiting for him to be served.
“You’re a practitioner of ancient martial arts, aren’t you?” Li Tiegen looked at him solemnly.
"He's a martial arts practitioner!"
"Then do you know the three major potentials of ancient martial arts practitioners?"
Jiang Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and he shook his head frankly, "Never heard of it!"
"Use it or lose it, and the same applies to ancient martial arts practitioners. From weakness to strength, every ancient martial artist will gradually unlock their potential. As for whether they can fully unlock the three major potentials, that is an unknown, because throughout history, people who can fully unlock the three major potentials are extremely rare," Li Tiegen said in a deep voice.
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Yuan asked with a puzzled look, "What are those three major potentials?"
"I only know one of them, because the three great potentials are only passed down in the oldest ancient martial arts families!"
Li Tiegen shook his head. The original world was full of secrets. What ordinary people came into contact with was completely different from what ancient martial artists came into contact with. It was understandable that they did not know.
He continued, "What I know is one of the three great potentials: the self-healing potential!"
"Self-healing?" Jiang Yuan made some connections when he heard these two words. He guessed that this was the method by which Li Tiegen was confident he could recover from his injuries.
Li Tiegen had expected Jiang Yuan's lack of understanding, and continued to explain: "Life contains infinite vitality, but the human body cannot effectively develop it. Once the self-healing potential is activated, it is the best way to protect the physical body."
"Uncle Li, how can we activate his self-healing potential?" Ning Yanlan gripped Jiang Yuan's hand tightly. She couldn't bear to see him suffer, and now that there was a way to solve the problem, she would find a solution no matter how difficult it was.
This will solve your problem!
Li Tiegen slowly took out an object—an ancient piece of animal skin paper. He put the paper down and then took out a few bottles of wine. "Put the things away. Let's drink and eat!"
Out of politeness, Jiang Yuan simply put the animal skin paper away, but he didn't read a single word of its contents.
"Uncle Li, let me drink with you! Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan are injured and shouldn't touch these things!" Leng Yue grabbed a bottle of wine when she saw that Jiang Yuan didn't move.
Leng Yue's words were exactly what Jiang Yuan wanted to hear. Although he could drink a little alcohol without much problem, it would be bad if he made a mistake. The Demon Pearl needed to be constantly recharged, and he was also worried that Ning Yanlan would forget to use the Holy Spirit Protection, the consequences of which he could not afford.
"Why would girls drink alcohol? This old man can enjoy a drink alone under the moon. You don't need to worry about me. Young people, just have fun!" Li Tiegen was still very traditional at heart and refused Leng Yue's suggestion to have a drinking contest with him.
“It’s different. I’m drinking for Jiang Yuan!” Leng Yue shook her head slightly, a hint of confidence in her voice. “Besides, my alcohol tolerance is pretty good. Seniors might not be able to keep up with the younger generation!”
"You're a beautiful and generous girl. I wonder which young man will be lucky enough to marry you in the future!" Li Tiegen opened the bottle and they started drinking together.
The two started drinking and found common ground, with Leng Yue subtly inquiring about recent events in Nancheng.
Before the beast tide arrived, only three refugee camps evacuated to the south of the city. As for the others, they were completely lost, and it is unknown whether they were wiped out or fought desperately.
After the beast tide, the power structure in the southern city became clearly divided. The most powerful forces were the warlord, the two alliances, and the three families. The warlord was the leader, followed by the Northern City Alliance and the Heaven and Earth Society. The three families were the Ji family of the Northern City, the Shen family of the Southern City, and the Liu family of Fengdu.
The camp was a force under the warlord system, but it was relatively independent. The people inside were free-spirited individuals who were just nominally affiliated with the warlords and were not subject to their control.
Then came the major events that occurred during the beast tide, including the disbandment of the right wing of the warlords, with some being recruited by the Crimson Blood Army and others joining other forces.
After chatting for a long time, Li Tiegen seemed to be intentionally revealing this information, even though many of them were things that Jiang Yuan and the others had not mentioned.
"It's almost time!" Li Tiegen glanced at the old watch on his wrist; it was nearly four in the morning. He stood up and said, "This old man won't disturb you young people any longer!"
"Uncle Li, take this meat with you. You can have a treat when you have some free time!" Jiang Yuan handed over a portion of the uneaten meat on the table, indicating that Li Tiegen should take it home.
"Young friend, I won't stand on ceremony with you!" Li Tiegen accepted the meat with a hearty laugh. He knew very well the value of the meat and was reluctant to part with it.
"What are you saying? Come over next time you want some barbecue, and we'll have a good drink together!" Jiang Yuan's expression was not arrogant at all, but rather deeply humble.
Upon hearing this, Li Tiegen burst into laughter and said loudly, "Alright, I'll come uninvited!"
"Goodbye, Grandpa!" Xiao Xin waved goodbye obediently. Although she hadn't eaten much, she had reached the limit of her physical body, and it would take several days to digest so much energy.
Li Tiegen left with a happy expression. He hadn't experienced such a warm meal since the disaster, and this time he was able to fulfill his regret after joining the army.
"It's almost dawn, you should all go and rest while you still have some time!" Li Xiang cleared the table. She had benefited greatly from eating some meat, but due to her own condition, she ate quite well.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Li!" Jiang Yuan nodded, as he was planning to go back and check on the animal skin paper that Grandpa Li had given him.
"Where is Miss Leng Yue going to rest? Why don't you stay with us for the night?" Li Xiang saw that Leng Yue was a little drunk and wanted to help take care of her, so she spoke up.
"No need, I'll just sleep in the same room with them!" Leng Yue waved her hand repeatedly.
“Three people…” Li Xiang looked troubled and said, “Won’t that be inconvenient?”
"It's alright, I'll stay and take care of them!" Leng Yue, whether she was stupid or didn't understand, insisted on staying in Jiang Yuan's room.
"Sister-in-law, you two should go and rest. We'll take care of Leng Yue!" Ning Yanlan went over and picked up the two little ones.
"If you need anything, just call me. I'm not good at fighting, but I can take care of your daily needs!" Li Xiang knew that a person could only be respected when they demonstrated their value, so she tried her best to make some contribution for everyone.
"Come on, let's go to sleep! Hahaha!" Leng Yue laughed and pounced between Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan, then forcibly dragged the two into the room.
Seeing this, Li Xiang could only smile wryly, thinking to herself, "Young people these days are really open-minded. But it's good this way; it can help cultivate their relationship."
