Chapter 45: Breaking through the bottleneck
At the end of the war, Chen Gong and Liu Fang distributed manpower and began to collect and count the materials of the Yellow Turban Army, there were more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered, a large number of ordinary weapons, and the food they brought was not much, but it was enough for them to hold out to Guangping City, and there were scattered sundries.
As for the rest of the soldiers, Liu Bei was recuperating in place for a while, and he also took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to rest on the side, while Wu Sheng saw everyone resting on the side, and quietly pulled the thin old man aside and secretly questioned him.
"Do you want to live or die?" Not far away, Wu Sheng let the lush woods block himself and the thin old man's figure, then grabbed him by the collar and said in a loud voice.
"Kill if you want to, what nonsense to do." The thin old man seemed to accept his fate, his originally closed eyes opened slightly, and he said weakly.
"You tell me what you just took first, and your strength will increase instantly." Wu Sheng was very curious about the pill that the thin old man had taken just now, the pill he had taken to enhance his strength was definitely better than his disciple's.
If the pill that Ma Sheng took at that time had to consume five years of lifespan before he could surpass his own strength, then the thin old man only had a lifespan of three or four years, but the liliang that broke out was a few points lower.
"It's none of your business." The thin old man closed his eyes, looked like he didn't pay attention to anything, and turned his head and said.
"Assistant, help me check if he still has that kind of elixir on him." Wu Sheng wanted to find evidence in the thin old man, so that he could not make any denials.
"Master, there is a hidden bag in his clothes, which hides a pill, and after testing, it is suitable for the same type of pill he is taking."
Originally, Wu Sheng just talked casually, but he didn't expect that there was really a pill, so he immediately looked for the hidden bag in the thin old man's clothes, and under the instructions of the assistant, he quickly took out a gray pill.
"What is this? Do you still want to deny it? Wu Sheng was quite happy to find the evidence, he put the pill in front of the thin old man's eyes, and said sarcastically.
"You, how could you." The thin old man next to the tree suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at this elixir that he was very familiar with, he really didn't expect that this person in front of him could find it on his clothes, because even the people around him didn't know about the hidden bag in the scribe's clothes.
Wu Sheng saw the look of surprise on the thin old man's face, and he was very proud, throwing the pill in his hand continuously, staring at him fiercely with his eyes, and putting pressure on him.
However, the thin old man obviously didn't eat this set, and directly closed his eyes, so that he would not feel the pressure exerted by Wu Sheng.
This attitude of still refusing to cooperate made Wu Sheng a little annoyed in his heart, but he knew that a crack had opened in the heart of the thin old man because of what had just happened, and as long as he put a little pressure, he would definitely be able to spit out the information he wanted.
After thinking about it, Wu Sheng asked his assistant to find some of the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty, and then said it slowly in the ear of the thin old man very clearly, and he was in a cold sweat when he heard it.
"Now that the conditions and time are limited, let's peel it first." Wu Sheng had a breezy look, talking like a demon, and then took out a dagger from the storage space while he was not paying attention, and looked at him with a smile.
The thin old man's heart suddenly collapsed, and he could only nod and agree to cooperate, he had lived for many years, and he had seen through such things as death, but in the face of the torture that Wu Sheng said, don't say ten, even one could not accept it, so he agreed to cooperate.
Seeing that the thin old man agreed to cooperate, Wu Sheng almost laughed, but fortunately he lowered his head in fear, and his body trembled slightly, so he didn't see this scene, otherwise everything he did just now would have been in vain.
Suppressing the smile in his heart, Wu Sheng put on a serious expression and said in a vicious voice: "If you are willing to cooperate, then say it." ”
From the mouth of the thin old man, Wu Sheng really obtained a lot of useful information, and it turned out that his master was one of the disciples of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao.
In fact, in addition to practicing Taoism by himself, Zhang Jiao also accepted nine personal disciples, including four magic disciples and five martial arts disciples, but one of the magic disciples betrayed him before he was ready to revolt, and went to the government to denounce everything he had done.
And his master is Zhang Baiqi, who is not famous in the Yellow Turbans, in fact, they are from the same village, so the thin old man can worship him as a teacher and learn some fire Taoism techniques on him.
The method of rapidly improving his strength and the kind of elixir that could burst out of his potential, he had obtained it from Zhang Baiqi, but he didn't know how the elixir was refined, and every moment was given to him by his master.
But the kind of method that can improve his strength with lifespan, he knows that the thin old man does not dare to have reservations, and tells Wu Sheng all the information.
After listening to the words of the thin old man, Wu Sheng knew that he had a lot of origins, although he was a little frustrated that the cooperation of the elixir could not be obtained, but with his character, he quickly put this mood aside.
The method of exchanging life for strength, Wu Sheng didn't know whether he should use it or not, and he hesitated in his heart, so he still decided to ask his assistant and follow its advice.
"Master, this method cannot be changed, so the assistant is extremely discouraged from using this method, if you only need to collect some medicinal materials, even if you have a yellow turban warlock to help, then it doesn't matter, but you must lose your life, then the system doesn't think it's worth it, because the master can go to various planes to collect some heavenly and earthly treasures to increase strength, and some don't cost at all."
Listening to the words of the assistant, Wu Sheng's heart suddenly brightened, he still has the treasure of the system, he can travel to various planes to collect heavenly and earthly treasures, and also to place martial arts masters, and he can also go to obtain magic cheats to increase his strength, how can he be persistent and quickly improve his strength, some things are actually better to go with the flow.
After thinking about this, Wu Sheng's whole person felt very comfortable, as if he was integrated with nature, and his mood was very calm, and then he thought of the idea of being too persistent before, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, maybe because he had seen too many strong people before, so he had the idea of urgently wanting to improve his strength.
The whole person came back to his senses, Wu Sheng stretched his waist, and seemed to feel that the air was much fresher, and the things he saw with his eyes now seemed to be different from what he saw before.
"Congratulations to the master, who has finally broken through."
Suddenly, the assistant congratulated him, but it made Wu Sheng very puzzled, he vaguely remembered that he used to say that he had no bottleneck in the acquired realm, but when he asked it before, he didn't say it.
"Assistant, can you tell me what's going on now, you used to say that I wouldn't encounter bottlenecks in the acquired realm." Wu Sheng was desperate to know this answer.
"That's right, master, after the last epiphany, there should not have been a bottleneck in the acquired realm, but because of the master, you desperately want to improve your strength, so that the whole person falls into the horns."
"It's not bad to be eager to improve your strength, but you have to introduce the right path and turn the urgency into your own motivation, but the master has gone off the rails and made a bottleneck to trap himself."
"For this kind of thing, outsiders say that it is useless, and can only rely on the master to figure it out, and now that the master has figured it out, not only has the strength been improved, but the bottleneck of entering the innate can be said to be a little weaker."
Open your own attribute interface, and sure enough, you can see that your strength has broken through the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow and reached the sixth layer of the day after tomorrow, not only that, but your internal strength was originally a little successful, and after the improvement of your state of mind, it is now in the late stage of Xiaocheng.
After bringing the thin old man back, Wu Sheng reported all the information he had obtained to Liu Bei and Chen Gong, letting them worry about it themselves, and he killed this person to complete his mission.
"Congratulations to the master for completing all the tasks, you can choose to stay in this plane for a while, or you can choose to leave."
"Don't leave yet, and then give out rewards." Wu Sheng found a place where no one was and said to his assistant.
"Haode master, the task reward is issued, the space-time coordinates are two, and you can record the coordinates in two space-time at will, because you get a fragment and increase the space-time coordinates, and now the space-time coordinates are four, and the martial arts experience has been received."
"Fragments, what fragments." Wu Sheng heard his assistant's words and asked with great confusion in his heart.
"Master, it's this piece of fragment that you accidentally got in the Qian family, and you can get more fragments by collecting this kind of casual collection."
"What exactly is this kind of debris, it can actually increase the coordinates of space-time." Wu Sheng asked with some surprise.
"I don't even know about this assistant, but the martial arts system instructed me to let the master collect more of this kind of thing."
Although Wu Sheng's doubts in his heart have not diminished, and he is more curious about what the fragments he accidentally obtained, he will always know in the future, but he knows that finding these fragments will give him a lot of benefits.
The task was completed, and the reward was received, but Wu Sheng was not in a hurry to go back, he had to help Liu Bei fight a few more battles before going back for the next mission, but how much time he could stay here, he didn't know in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the system.
"Assistant, how much time can I stay here?" Wu Shengzi asked in his heart.
"The master can only stay in this Three Kingdoms Plane for a week at most, no more."
After doing his own thing, Wu Sheng ran back to Liu Bei's camp, and during the period of his "disappearance", Huang Yueying, who was looking for him, was dissatisfied, and he could only coax him before he would give up.
After resting for a while, Liu Bei asked them to pack up their things and set off to Guangping City to find Lu Zhi's subordinates, because the reinforcements sent by the Yellow Turban were unexpectedly large, and the troops in front of them were 6,000 people, and Liu Beijun could barely eat.
It is conceivable that the official Yellow Turban reinforcements in the back are at least twenty or thirty thousand people, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are world-famous, it is difficult to stop in the face of tens of thousands of attacks, so Liu Bei plans to go to Lu Zhi's subordinates and let them fight, and he is to cooperate with them to attack the city.
