Chapter 20 Amazing Drug Efficacy
Feng Heng's eyes were gloomy, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the Blood Nourishing Pill in Jiang Qi's hand.
Chen Feng's face regained its gentle smile, and he said, "I wonder if Junior Brother intends to make a purchase of this Blood Nourishing Pill? I am willing to offer fifteen taels of silver for it."
"Fifteen taels?" Zhang Xiao chuckled softly, saying nothing more, but the meaning was clear.
This is a Blood Nourishing Pill given by the City Patrol Envoy, its quality is far superior to ordinary pills. He thought he was already being greedy by offering thirty taels, but he didn't expect there to be someone even more shameless.
Jiang Qi remained calm and slightly bowed to Chen Feng, saying, "I intend to keep this Blood Nourishing Pill for my own use and have no intention of selling it for the time being."
Chen Feng's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes deepened slightly as he continued to raise the price: "Twenty taels. Furthermore, I, Chen Feng, hereby promise that if Junior Brother Jiang encounters any difficulties or obstacles in his cultivation in the future, I will do my utmost to assist him."
These words were spoken sincerely, and given his status as the leader of the foreign language department, others would likely be genuinely tempted.
Twenty taels of silver, plus a seemingly compelling promise?
Zhang Xiao curled his lip again, thinking it was just an empty promise.
But he didn't interrupt, he just looked at Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi shook his head again, his tone indifferent: "I'm truly sorry, but I have no intention of transferring this medicine."
Chen Feng's smile finally faded, and his eyes turned slightly cold: "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb Junior Brother's cultivation any longer."
Having said that, he turned and left, walking much faster than when he came.
Feng Heng quickly followed, and after a few steps, he said angrily, "Senior Brother Chen, this kid is so ungrateful! He doesn't know what's good for him!"
Chen Feng didn't reply, his face was ashen, and his jawline was taut.
Since he had refined three streams of qi and blood, when had he ever been so repeatedly humiliated?
Especially since the other party was someone who was originally not taken seriously, a "medicine addict".
If he had this Blood Nourishing Pill, it would definitely have allowed him to successfully break through to the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm.
If this happened to someone who borrowed money to buy drugs...
What a waste! What a terrible waste!
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhang Xiao leaned closer to Jiang Qi and whispered, "Junior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Chen... he's probably going to hold a grudge against you."
"However, with this Blood Nourishing Pill, Junior Brother Jiang should be able to catch up with Senior Brother Chen, or even surpass him, before long. There is really no need to fear him."
Jiang Qi smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
His gaze swept across the training ground and he noticed that quite a few people were still looking over, their eyes gleaming with greed or envy.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
This Blood Nourishing Pill is surprisingly hot to handle.
If that's the case...
He picked up the Blood Nourishing Pill and looked at it against the sunlight.
The light made the deep red color somewhat dazzling.
Then, under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen people, he tilted his head back and swallowed.
"have eaten?!"
"You're eating this already?!"
"Damn it! My precious medicine!"
Exclamations and sighs of regret immediately erupted in the room, as if they had taken their own super tonic.
Zhang Xiao's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected Jiang Qi to swallow this powerful tonic in front of everyone.
Chen Feng and Feng Heng sensed something, stopped in their tracks, turned around, and their faces instantly darkened.
Then, he could only snort coldly and leave with a flick of his sleeve.
Zhang Xiaochong gave Jiang Qi a thumbs up and praised, "Junior Brother Jiang is decisive! Now things are peaceful!"
Jiang Qi simply smiled and then carefully sensed the medicinal effects.
When the medicine entered the stomach, there was no obvious feeling at first, but after only a few breaths, a warm feeling slowly rose from the stomach.
It then transformed into a stream of heat, spreading rapidly to every part of the body.
The powerful medicinal effects began to spread, the body felt slightly hot, and the two streams of qi and blood within the body began to rotate involuntarily.
Like a dragon sucking water, strands of medicinal power gathered towards the blood and qi.
Normally, when I take the Blood and Qi Powder, at most a few strands of medicinal power slowly flow into my chest; I have never experienced the blood and qi being actively absorbed by myself.
Furthermore, the absorption process of ordinary tonics is not long; it can be completed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
This time, however, the absorption did not slow down even after a full quarter of an hour.
As expected of a powerful tonic only taken by martial artists in the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm, its medicinal power is indeed strong and domineering.
A senior disciple in the academy had previously taken this powerful medicine. It was said that he had to take more than a month to slowly refine and absorb it, using his cultivation techniques, before he could fully absorb its medicinal power.
Jiang Qi's body, improved by the [Moon Essence Water], allows him to absorb the medicinal power much faster than an ordinary person.
He simply ignored the stares of those around him and began practicing the "Zhenyuan Body Forging Technique" on the training ground, guiding and refining the surging medicinal power within his body.
As the Qi and blood circulate with the exercise, they become increasingly active, and a faint blush even appears on the surface of the skin.
As the heat converges, the second layer of essence and blood in the body solidifies and thickens at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The Blood Nourishing Pill can directly strengthen the blood and qi of a martial artist in the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm by one or two levels... I wonder how much my blood and qi will increase after being refined by the [Blood Absorption] technique?"
Jiang Qi began to feel a sense of anticipation.
......
As the sun dips westward, dusk approaches.
Jiang Qi slowly finished his practice, his eyes bright.
The effects of half a day of cultivation and absorption are amazing!
The second stream of qi and blood, which was originally more than half full, has now grown stronger.
And that torrent of intense medicinal power was consumed by less than 10%!
At this rate, the second flow of Qi and blood will be complete tonight, and the third flow will be completed tomorrow.
Before the medicinal effects are exhausted, reaching the mid-stage of the Blood Burning Realm is not impossible.
Moreover, not only does Qi and Blood increase, but the experience of the [Warrior] also increases faster than usual.
[Occupation: Warrior]
[Level: 2 (190→201/300)]
[Effects: Increased training efficiency; smoother and more fluid circulation of Qi and blood; significantly enhanced body coordination and strength; improved comprehension of martial arts techniques.]
Normally it rises by three to five points a day, but this time it rose by ten points.
The harvest was plentiful.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Jiang Qi prepared to leave the martial arts school.
As soon as I stepped out of the front yard, I heard slightly hurried footsteps and panting behind me.
"Young Master Jiang! Young Master Jiang, please wait!"
Jiang Qi turned around and saw a slightly chubby person jogging up to him.
"Master Liu? Is something the matter?" Jiang Qi stopped in his tracks, somewhat puzzled.
The visitor was Liu Ying, the chubby cook in the martial arts school's kitchen. He was the one who delivered water to the restaurant on a daily basis.
He had even suspected Cui Yuan and Luo Yue because of their affair.
As time went on, I heard that this Master Liu did indeed often provide people with medicinal cuisine, so I stopped paying much attention to him.
Liu Ying caught her breath, stood still, and looked Jiang Qi up and down, exclaiming in amazement, "He's different, truly different!"
"Unexpectedly, in just four months, Brother Jiang has cultivated two streams of Qi and Blood, and even stood out among all the formal disciples, receiving a Blood Nourishing Pill personally bestowed by the City Patrol Envoy!"
"Incredible! Incredible!"
He rubbed his hands together, his tone enthusiastic: "With the Blood Nourishing Pill in hand, it won't be long before Brother Jiang is able to condense his third strand of blood qi, and might even... have a chance to knock on the door of the mid-stage Blood Refining Realm!"
His envy was evident in his words.
Jiang Qi humbly replied, "Master Liu, you flatter me. My aptitude is low, and I am already content that I have managed to cultivate the third stage of Qi and Blood. I dare not hope to reach the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm for now."
"Sigh... the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm is indeed difficult; so many people get stuck at the third stage of Qi and Blood." Liu Ying sighed, but then changed the subject, picking up a small ceramic cup with his right hand, "But I think Brother Jiang can definitely do it!"
