Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Golden Lion Secret Medicine” (Please Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
In a castle standing in the middle of the mysterious deep mountains.
The surroundings of the castle were pitch dark.
There wasn’t a lamp, nor a single beam of light.
“We failed. The youngest son of the Golden Lion Family is not as simple as he appears. They must have noticed that we made
our move.”
A voice echoed If not for this voice, no one would think that there would be anyone here.
After this voice, silence once again descended. No one answered.
After a long silence, another voice spoke.
“Continue as planned. The key is most likely located within the Golden Lion
Family.”
“What if it is with the Royal Family?”
Again, there was a long silence, until a decisive voice rang out.
“Then we are just unlucky.”
“Young Master Vernon, this is what the master asked me to give you.” In the estate, William handed a luxurious wooden box to
Milton Cheney.
Milton took the wooden box and opened it.
Ten bottles comparable to crystal vials were neatly placed within the box, with some turbid liquid gently swaying in them.
“What is this?”
Milton had some guesses in his heart, but he still instinctively asked.
“This is the Golden Lion Secret Medicine paired with the Golden Lion Breathing Technique. After taking it, it can speed up the
growth of the Life Seed. There are ten bottles in total. You can take one every three days. It can last for a month.”
William started to explain. He already knew that Milton had become an official knight.
As the person who first taught Milton knight techniques, he was the most shocked when Milton became an official knight.
After all, it was only a few months ago. The Milton, who had flaws in every move when swinging a sword, unexpectedly became
an official knight.
How long did it take him from the first time he touched a sword to becoming an official knight? William couldn’t exactly
remember, but it was at least ten years.
Milton bridged his ten years in just a few months, which naturally gave him a significant shock.
“Young Master, you need to observe some precautions when taking the secret medicine. Firstly, you cannot overdose.
The best cycle is to take it once every three days.
Secondly, you need to immediately enter a state of cultivation after taking the medicine, otherwise, the medicinal power will be
lost.”
Hearing William’s words, Milton nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing Milton nod, William quickly reminded him and then said goodbye to Milton and left.
He still had a lot to do in the coming days. The Guard Corps needed his personal training.
Although the Golden Lion Family still looked peaceful on the surface, there were murmurings of killing in the dark.
One must know that the family does not train soldiers on a regular basis, but once they do, they are in a state of war readiness.
After all, they didn’t keep all these guards for nothing.
Seeing William leaving, Milton closed the wooden box in his hand, then returned to the small training ground within the estate.
He spent most of his time these days in the training grounds or at the shooting range.
Milton was preparing to try if he could raise the proficiency of two knight techniques from beginner to skilled level in reality
without relying on the simulator.
Yes, Milton planned to try saving up some simulation times.
However, he was not sure whether the simulation times could be accumulated. But it was crucial to test this. After all, he would
have to validate it sooner or later.
The perfect opportunity for this was now, as a single simulation did not offer much improvement.
Of course, he didn’t forget his breathing technique. Even though his improvement was slow, he still took some time each day to
practice.
It was always good to develop these habits.
Returning to the training ground, Milton found a place to sit down and reopened the wooden box.
He took out a bottle of secret medicine from the box and opened the stopper.
It didn’t have the pungent smell Milton expected. Instead, there was a slight odor of orchids.
Milton was familiar with the secret medicine. After all, it had appeared in several of his previous simulations.
But this was the first time he had seen secret medicine in reality. Naturally, he was curious.
In Milton’s memory, secret medicine was made by specialized secret medicine pharmacists. Each bottle was expensive and
priceless.
Secret medicine was similar to the magic potion concocted by wizards but completely different. Compared to magic potions,
secret medicine had a much more narrow use.
Most secret medicines were auxiliary aids to practicing the breathing technique.
On the other hand, magic potions were different. Their types were innumerable, and only wizards could concoct them.
Without hesitation, Milton poured the turbid liquid in the bottle into his mouth, and it went straight down his throat.
The next moment, a feeling of being burned from the inside emerged.
Milton immediately ran the breathing technique, and after it started working, the burning sensation gradually vanished,
transforming into a different sense.
Milton could feel heat streams rushing inside his body, a feeling as if he was enveloped in warmth.
The next second, the Life Seed at the center of Milton’s heart began to stir, and golden airflows began to gush from the Life
Seed.
Milton quickly controlled these airflows, guiding them into his viscera.
Perhaps it was because this was his first time taking the secret medicine in reality, the effect was unexpectedly good.
Milton felt that the speed of his breathing technique practice improved four or five times than before, a feeling which was
fantastic.
Time passed. Although a bit of the medicinal power of the secret medicine was lost, the effect had entirely reached Milton’s
expectation.
Losing medicinal power was normal, especially since only about ten percent was lost. This was related to his proficiency level in
the breathing technique.
If his breathing power was at a skilled level, then at least thirty percent of the medicinal power would be lost.
If it was at the beginner level, regardless of how he ran the breathing technique, a good fifty percent of the medicinal power
would be lost.
“Phew-”
Milton exhaled a turbid breath, then stood up and moved his body a bit.
This was the first time he had felt a noticeable enhancement of his Life Seed from practicing the breathing technique.
Although this enhancement was not significant, it was enough to make Milton delighted.
When he practiced the breathing technique before, although he knew that the Life Seed was improving in theory, his body
couldn’t feel this enhancement.
But this time, after consuming the secret medicine, he could distinctly feel the growth of the Life Seed.
“Indeed, the real way to practice is to take medicine. Everything else is a heresv.”
In a good mood, Milton made a rare joke, even though no one was around to hear his poor humor.
After replacing the transparent crystal bottle back into the wooden box, Milton closed the box, cherishing this wonderful treasure.
The following days remained calm. The tense atmosphere within the Golden Lion Family didn’t manage to reach Milton’s estate.
Milton spent each day as usual commuting between the training ground and the shooting range.
The proficiency level of his knight skills slowly improved, getting steadily closer to the skilled level.
He would consume a bottle of secret medicine to practice his breathing technique every three days, and the number of bottles in
the wooden box visibly decreased.
