Simulation: My family's financial situation is infinitely improved

Chapter 3 [New panel attributes are taking effect]

"Hey, I didn't expect to see such a beautiful child in this desolate wilderness. If I sell her to Lihen Pavilion, she'll be worth at least thirty or fifty taels of silver, enough for me to live a carefree life for a while."

Just as Lin Heng fell into a deep sleep, light footsteps were heard outside the dilapidated hut.

A tall, extremely ugly man walked in, covering his mouth and nose and holding his breath.

Because they wanted to capture Lin Heng alive, and in order to avoid any accidents, the ugly man cautiously used smoke attacks even though the target was a child with no ability to resist.

He supported Lin Heng, who had lost consciousness and collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, and took him away from the smoke-filled environment.

"Poor child, he's almost starving to death."

"I am sending you to Lihen Pavilion. Although you will have to serve others in the future, at least you will have enough food and drink. This can be considered as saving your life."

Outside the house, the man looked at Lin Heng in the moonlight.

His bone structure and facial features are all of excellent quality.

Although he looks skinny and has a dirty face due to long-term malnutrition, as long as he is given enough food in the future, he will definitely be a handsome young man who will be famous in the surrounding area when he grows up.

It is hard to imagine how handsome he would become if he were to be transformed by the Lihen Pavilion.

After realizing this, the ugly man nodded with satisfaction.

Not minding the dirt and stench on Lin Heng's body, he fed a pill for replenishing qi and blood with honey water into Lin Heng's mouth to satisfy his hunger.

Then he put him into a cloth bag and carried it on his back.

Then he took a step forward, left the deserted village and walked towards the distance.

After a night of rapid travel, at dawn, this extremely ugly man had brought Lin Heng to a manor deep in the mountains.

The ugly man, who was a registered disciple of Lihen Pavilion, met a manager of Lihen Pavilion who was wearing a green shirt and a mask.

"The goods you brought this time are good, they are healthy and strong."

"I will give you sixty taels of silver. Next time you have something good like this, remember to send it to me as soon as possible."

The manager looked at Lin Heng and nodded with satisfaction.

The top leadership of their Lihen Pavilion is all controlled by women. These elders love to recruit handsome young men. Once a high-quality guy like Lin Heng is trained and cultivated and presented to them, he will definitely receive a large reward.

He handed the ugly man a few large silver bars and sent him away.

Then, the steward ordered the maid to wash Lin Heng clean of his dirt, change his clothes, and take him underground deep in the manor.

There was a bathhouse built here, and as the steward came in, the gate opened.

A blood-colored liquid with a pungent smell flowed into the bathtub, gradually filling the pool, which was one person long and wide.

"Strip him naked and put him in."

The manager spoke and gave instructions to a subordinate who looked like an old man with dull face and white hair who was following him.

The old man did as he was told and placed Lin Heng's skinny body into the pool of blood, leaving only his mouth and nose uncovered, allowing him to breathe freely.

The elders of Lihen Pavilion like to take blood from young boys, but these boys are of different ages, and it is unknown how long it will take to wait for them to grow up to the age where they can be used, so this blood pool came into being.

It is made up of a variety of medicines. In order to achieve the desired effect and reduce costs, a lot of poisonous drugs that are harmful to the human body are also added.

If a young man who has never practiced cultivation is soaked in it, the medicinal power can stimulate his potential and quickly grow his body into an adult. At the same time, it can also cleanse the body, beautify the skin, stimulate potential, increase understanding, and improve the qualifications for cultivation. It can be said that there are many benefits.

Of course, with all these benefits, there is a price to pay: a significant reduction in lifespan. After soaking in a pool of blood, one would definitely not live more than ten years.

But for a tool who exists only as a furnace and will not live long, this price is almost the same as nothing, and the rest can be said to be all benefits.

As time passed, the blood pool medicine began to take effect.

Even in a coma, Lin Heng began to frown at this time, and could feel a tearing pain coming from his body.

But it didn't take long before the tearing pain was relieved. There was a vigorous vitality flowing in the body, the hunger subsided, and instead there was a power surging in the body, giving people a comfortable feeling.

This is a sign that the body's potential is being stimulated, alleviating the pain of rapid loss of essence.

Then, Lin Heng's frown relaxed, and his expression became peaceful while soaking in the pool of blood, and he truly fell asleep.

Seeing this, the steward nodded with satisfaction.

"You stay here and guard it. After six hours, fish it out and send it to the disciple residence according to custom."

"Remember not to soak it too much, otherwise you will be held responsible if something goes wrong."

The manager observed Lin Heng who was soaking in the blood pool for a while, and seeing that he did not show any abnormal reaction, he began to give instructions to the old man beside him.

A pool of blood-soaked medicinal liquid is prepared at the lowest cost and lowest potency, and can be used for people to soak in for ten hours. This potency is just right for strong adults, but it is a bit too much for children.

After observation, the steward confirmed that Lin Heng's physique would be most effective if he soaked in the blood pool for six hours, which could maximize the catalytic potential without endangering his life.

If this time limit is exceeded, there will be danger to one's life, so the manager asked the old man to look after it.

Soaking in the blood pool was only the first step in cultivating the furnace. The next step was to teach Lin Heng to read and write, practice the "Body Tempering and Blood Quenching Technique", digest the medicinal power absorbed from the blood pool, further enhance his physical fitness and blood, and allow his body to quickly grow to adulthood.

During this process, the manager would deceive Lin Heng into believing that he was rescued from human traffickers by Lihen Pavilion, and that he would be accepted as a disciple and asked to practice diligently in anticipation of repaying his master in the future, thereby stimulating Lin Heng's motivation to practice.

Only in this way can one become a qualified furnace cauldron within a year.

"Yes."

The old man responded respectfully.

Seeing this, the steward left with satisfaction.

The old man watched the manager disappear from his back, put away the respect on his face, casually glanced at Lin Heng in the blood pool, and left.

It is just daybreak now, and it will be late at night in six hours.

Of course, it is impossible to stay here underground guarding a furnace for such a long time.

He planned to find someone to cheat for money, and when the time was almost up, he would come back to deal with this kid who was about to become medicine residue.

With the expectation of winning big, the old man walked out of the underground blood pool and headed towards his card friends.

However, not long after he walked out of the underground, he felt a pain in the back and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

This is like a pierced heart!

In a few seconds, he would be dead.

The old man instantly understood his current situation, but he could not change anything.
