Chapter 10

"Is it really that exaggerated? I just saw that the medicine you prepared is a strong laxative, so I thought you should change it." Seeing Gao Ren's exaggerated yet genuinely excited expression, Ren Jie felt rather strange. Is it really that exaggerated?

"Look... just a glance..." Gao Ren was almost stuttering. To know the effect of the medicine with just one glance, this isn't a common formula!

Well, even if you can understand it with just one glance, it's completely different after adding these five ingredients.

"Boss Fan Piao, do you know that with this change, it's no longer a strong laxative? This could be a life-threatening substance. No, even a peak True Qi Realm practitioner can't withstand it, unless they reach the Divine Ability Realm."

"I know!" Ren Jie nodded: "Why make a laxative? That kind of woman, if you give her a laxative, she'll just cause more trouble. If you're going to do it, do it thoroughly—make it a poison, and a highly toxic one at that."

"Ah..." Gao Ren was speechless, his mouth only closing after a while: "Boss Fan Piao, you really... really want to deal with Fang Qi, and even... kill her?"

"Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck. If she really dies, it will be a relief. If her family saves her in time, we'll make sure they can't cure her, and then they'll have to beg us. We'll get everything back, with interest." Ren Jie had already seen through it; for a woman like Fang Qi, you can't be gentle. Seeing Gao Ren's expression, Ren Jie smiled: "Just prepare it. That woman's heart is a hundred times more venomous than this."

Gao Ren finally confirmed one thing: Ren Jie wasn't joking; he was serious.

Could it be... that he was hit by a stool and woke up? This is actually a good thing.

"That's true, that woman makes you feel uncomfortable just by looking at her." Gao Ren agreed with Ren Jie's last statement.

"No... no..." Suddenly, Gao Ren vigorously shook his plump head, his body's flesh trembling. He then looked at Ren Jie again: "Let's not discuss this for now. Boss Fan Piao, quickly tell me how you knew to add Thousand-foot Liquid, Hemp Tree Bark, Blood-Activating Grass, and then Fire Lizard Blood and Love Root Grass. This medicine was prepared on the spot, there's no existing formula, unless... unless you're a Spirit Alchemist, no, even a regular Spirit Alchemist couldn't do it!"

Even though the Marvel Alchemist is the most basic, the 'Marvel' in its name indicates that it is the most difficult. Achieving the Marvel Alchemist realm can reveal a person's potential in alchemy.

The 'Marvel' in Marvel Alchemist has many meanings, including the profound and the matching of the 'Marvel' in Spirit Alchemist's 'Spirit Marvel Medicine.' In short, the 'Marvel' word contains countless meanings. The combination and later refinement of medicines, as well as the control of changes in medicines, all revolve around the 'Marvel' word. Although Gao Ren is just a Senior Marvel Alchemist, he is stronger than most top Marvel Alchemists, and he is only one step away from being a top Marvel Alchemist.

"I've never really dealt with medicines before, and I'm not a Spirit Alchemist. But I did read some books about medicinal knowledge before, so I know the general properties, situations, and names of common medicines. Looking at yours, and thinking about my goal, I thought of Thousand-foot Liquid, Hemp Tree Bark, and those five ingredients. Is there anything wrong with that?" To be honest, Ren Jie is relying entirely on his intuition, feeling that it should be like this, without much further thought.

"Wrong, all wrong, each one is off by a mile, but..." Gao Ren said excitedly: "When all these errors are combined, it really can achieve what Boss Fan Piao said, and if Fang Qi is unlucky, she might not even survive. Even if she survives, unless they can find a top Spirit Alchemist to help make the antidote, they won't be able to save her. And although her family is one of the five major families, it's impossible for them to immediately find a top Spirit Alchemist for a junior member."

"Then that's settled. Why are you so excited? Alright, continue with your alchemy. I'll go back and rest for a while; my head still hurts." Ren Jie, seeing the fat man's excitement, quickly broke free from his plump hands and hurried away.

When Gao Ren mentioned his headache, the fat man couldn't continue to press the issue. However, he was still immersed in the changes of the medicines, finding too much to learn from them. Moreover, this wasn't a fixed formula but a completely new one.

The more Gao Ren thought about it, the more he felt the profoundness of it all. He stood there, still holding Ren Jie's arm, a smile occasionally appearing on his face.

This guy, Ren Jie walked far away and looked back, seeing Gao Ren still in the same position with a smile, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Entering the inner courtyard, Ren Jie went upstairs. His living place was on the second floor, with a simple resting and reception area below. The space was very large and the decoration was luxurious. However, after returning from the Ren family mansion, he didn't feel much about this place anymore.

First, Ren Jie sat down and slowly released his divine sense. Although twenty meters wasn't too far, it was enough to confirm that there was nothing wrong around him.

Then, Ren Jie sat on the bed. In the library, Ren Jie had already completely adjusted his mindset. Whether it was in the grand hall or when he directly let the spirit beast carriage hit someone, these were all ways for Ren Jie to gradually recognize and integrate into this world.

Ren Jie calmed his mind slightly, and his divine sense entered the sea of consciousness. The completely computerized notebook was in the sea of consciousness. This time, Ren Jie had time to study it carefully, reviewing everything. The simplest system he had just crashed had nothing else in it, except for the video that couldn't be opened without enough spirit jade and some adult content.

Looking at the video again, Ren Jie focused all his thoughts on it. Spirit jade, he needed a large amount of spirit jade. The reason he could stay in there for a quarter of an hour was likely due to the changes and energy brought by the穿越 (穿越 means '穿越' in Chinese, which can be translated as '穿越' in English, but in this context, it means '穿越' or '穿越' which refers to the phenomenon of traveling through time or space, often used in the context of a person being transported to a different world or time period). Later, he would need a large amount of spirit jade to sustain it.

Ren Jie knew that whether it was reading in the library or saying that the laxative could be improved into a highly toxic poison that even top Marvel Alchemists couldn't prepare, these were all due to the changes in his realm.

The reason his realm was higher than the people he had encountered so far was entirely due to the gains from that quarter of an hour. From his divine sense, he could see that he had only vaguely sensed it, without even hearing any sounds. If he could immerse himself for a longer time or hear the sounds, what other gains would he have?

Thinking about this, Ren Jie decided to find a way to gather a large amount of spirit jade as a priority. Unfortunately, he couldn't let anyone know about this. Although he was the head of the Ren family, it was clear that this position was only nominal and didn't have actual power.

Although he could show his strength and gain some minor rights during the elder meeting, asking the family to provide a large amount of spirit jade was almost impossible and could cause serious trouble.

It seems that this matter has to be done secretly.

After thinking about this, Ren Jie came out of the sea of consciousness and took out the special memory jade token. Whether it was the Jade Emperor Academy, Jade Capital, or even the Ren family, they were not a comfortable place. Ren Jie knew that even if you became an emperor, if you weren't strong enough, you would still be bullied. Now he was the head of the Ren family, but if he wasn't strong enough, such things would still happen.

Ren Tianxing left this specifically and gave many instructions. There was also spirit jade in the jade box, so this must be very valuable.

Thinking about this, Ren Jie's divine sense moved to read the contents. Generally, a memory jade token can be used even by someone at the Body Refinement Realm, as long as they have divine sense. They don't need to release it; just a slight contact with the divine jade can sense the stored information.

However, when Ren Jie touched it, he felt layers of barriers, clearly indicating that someone had set up restrictions and arrays, and the methods were clearly very sophisticated.

"Remember, only our father and son's blood can open it. Anyone else trying to open this jade token will destroy it." Ren Jie remembered a similar sentence, but it was very vague. Clearly, the original Ren Jie, who had just learned he was to become the head of the Ren family, didn't pay much attention to these details.

Fortunately, it wasn't a blood recognition thing, or Ren Jie would have thought of some cliché plots from his previous life, especially some very old ones.

Could this thing analyze DNA? Ren Jie speculated and lightly cut his finger to drip some blood.

"Swish!" Ren Jie's blood dripped onto the jade token, instantly merging with it. Then the jade token began to flash with various lights, giving the impression of a door opening. Finally, the light gradually faded.

At this moment, Ren Jie's divine sense moved again, and "Boom," a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Crack..." Almost simultaneously, the memory jade token shattered completely.

"Jade Emperor Technique, Body Refinement Chapter." The information that had just flooded his mind immediately appeared in Ren Jie's mind. The Body Refinement Chapter, only the Body Refinement Chapter, what about the rest?

Ren Jie couldn't help but look down at the ring on his finger. It can only be opened at the True Qi Realm, so the rest is likely in this ring.

At the time, Ren Tianxing didn't say what kind of cultivation technique it was, only that it was left by a force that unified the world and could even contend with immortals ten thousand years ago. He couldn't cultivate it, and it turned out this technique is called the Jade Emperor Technique.

Previously, Ren Jie had also read other cultivation books in the library and knew that the Ren family had countless cultivation methods. He wondered what made the Jade Emperor Technique different.

"External forces to refine the body, like a person without power needing external forces to drive, is a slave. The body refined by external forces is auxiliary. A person must use perseverance and determination to contend with the world. Body refinement is not a short-term foundation but a lifelong endeavor. First, cultivate the heart, understand..."

Ren Jie felt very surprised as soon as he touched it. He now had some understanding of this world. The Body Refinement Realm is about refining the body, which naturally involves various external forces. Like in the academy, there are various physical and body training exercises, and some people undergo arduous training, even life-and-death trials.

Everyone knows that body refinement is about enduring hardship, and some say that the more solid the foundation, the more benefits in the future. Some believe that later achievements have nothing to do with the Body Refinement Realm, which is just a transition to meet basic needs and form true qi.

However, in the Jade Emperor Technique, it directly negates the current methods of body refinement in the world and proposes a method of refining the body with qi. The Body Refinement Realm is not without qi, but this qi is just ordinary qi in the body, not the true qi formed at the True Qi Realm. True qi is condensed and powerful, while the qi in the Body Refinement Realm is scattered and weak. The Body Refinement Chapter of the Jade Emperor Technique proposes an internal method of refining the body from the beginning.

It also specifically states that this is the method of truly determined and persevering people, far more painful than any other basic external force refinement.

I will try this unique method of refining the body with qi in the Jade Emperor Technique. Everything starts from scratch. My current body is at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm, so starting from the first level shouldn't be too difficult, right? Thinking about this, Ren Jie began to try the internal method of refining the body with qi according to the Body Refinement Chapter of the Jade Emperor Technique.
