Chapter 10

The effect of the Qi and Blood Pill is very simple and brutal.

It is to strengthen the qi and blood, and increase strength.

Chen Shaojun swallowed it, immediately feeling a powerful medicinal force surging and rampaging inside his body.

Even though he could clearly feel his qi and blood being continuously strengthened, and a steaming heat spreading from his body, forming a faint qi and blood mist,

the process was too painful.

The medicinal force was rampant.

It felt like being scraped by a knife.

He suddenly realized that he had been rash again.

Although his body had been improved by the Nourishing Essence Pill, it was far from that of a martial artist, and martial artists could absorb the medicinal force through their unique cultivation methods. But what about him?

He was a bit panicked.

"Hmm?"

However, he soon froze.

He suddenly felt a continuous vibration inside his body.

At first, it was very slight.

But as the continuously strengthening qi and blood took effect, it became more intense.

And mysteriously, he felt that the frequency of the vibration in his body was somewhat familiar.

Up and down, a clear rhythm.

"Is this the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique?"

He quickly understood.

At the critical moment, it was the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique that was taking effect, using its own breathing rhythm to drive the circulation of qi and blood in his body, and to absorb the rampant medicinal force.

He had originally thought that the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique was a mere auxiliary technique that would only show its effects after a long period of cultivation, but he didn't expect it to work so quickly.

With the breathing technique driving it,

the rampant medicinal force quickly calmed down.

Thus, an hour passed.

The medicinal force gradually dissipated, and Chen Shaojun clenched his fist, his veins bulging, his strength surging.

Even his originally thin body had become somewhat more robust.

However, it wasn't very noticeable, and even those who were often together would find it hard to notice.

"This time taking the Qi and Blood Pill should have increased my strength by more than twice.

I estimate that even if I were to lift a 200-pound stone, it shouldn't be a problem now.

And this is even with a large portion of the medicinal force being wasted."

Chen Shaojun sighed, filled with joy.

As for the waste of medicinal force, it was actually quite normal.

His body could only bear so much, and although the breathing technique could help him absorb the medicinal force, the excess would naturally be expelled from his body.

He was already satisfied with this.

One must take things step by step. Although it's a pity to waste it, the cost of being "overfed" is something he was unwilling to accept.

For example, becoming obese?

As the saying goes, a weak body cannot bear excessive nourishment, and excess will overflow.

If the medicinal force in his body could not be absorbed in time, wouldn't it just be stored and turn into fat?

...

When he walked out of the appraisal room, it was already very late.

Fortunately, Shen Lang and Xu Hongtao had not yet left.

Both had houses outside and did not live in the pawnshop, usually returning home before nightfall.

The night in Shengjing City was not safe.

Many dangers and darkness lurked in the night.

"Didn't expect you to finish appraising these materials so quickly?"

Shen Lang was surprised.

He had watched Chen Shaojun take the materials to the appraisal room, thinking that the three "living materials" would keep him busy for a while, and he might not even need to come to collect materials the next day.

He didn't expect that the three living materials would be "cleansed" so quickly.

If you include the one from before, Chen Shaojun had appraised four today.

"Working so hard today?

Planning to save up money to get married?"

Xu Hongtao, who knew about Chen Shaojun's appraisal, couldn't help but tease him.

In Shengjing City, many people his age had already started getting married.

"No."

Chen Shaojun smiled shyly and said, "I just plan to save some money to learn martial arts."

"Hmm?"

"Learn martial arts?"

Shen Lang and Xu Hongtao were both surprised.

For ordinary apprentice appraisers, the risk involved in appraising made them constantly on edge, and once they finished appraising, they were all exhausted, with no time to think about anything else.

Someone as "ambitious" as Chen Shaojun was truly rare.

"It's just that recently, I've felt much more relaxed during appraisals, so I dared to think about these things.

Moreover, Master Three said that the most important thing for us appraisers is qi and blood. With abundant qi and blood, we can nourish our spirit, and with a full spirit, our Divine Gaze Technique can improve.

I heard that the three senior appraisers in our Lin Family Pawnshop all have martial arts skills.

I can't always be an apprentice appraiser, so I hope to practice martial arts to strengthen my qi and blood.

To become a formal appraiser as soon as possible."

Chen Shaojun explained hurriedly.

He wasn't really trying to be high-profile.

But he had his own considerations.

The rewards from today's treasure appraisal were very generous, and it made him realize even more the miraculous nature of the Spirit-Perceiving Treasure Appraisal.

If he continued to develop at this speed, his strength and abilities would surely improve rapidly.

And excellent people cannot be hidden.

He didn't think he was truly excellent, but the continuous rewards from the Spirit-Perceiving Treasure Appraisal would build him up, gradually making him stand out.

At least, the changes in his appearance and the improvement in his Divine Gaze Technique would not go unnoticed by those around him.

So, he could only appropriately reveal himself.

Learning martial arts and pointing out the improvement in his Divine Gaze Technique were all for this purpose.

"You're right.

A good man should practice martial arts. You apprentices are all weak and listless, with no spirit. I don't like that."

Xu Hongtao's eyes lit up, and he praised.

In his early days, he roamed the world, admiring martial heroes, and often lingered in teahouses, listening to martial stories.

Therefore, he had a natural admiration and fondness for those who wanted to learn martial arts.

Chen Shaojun smiled awkwardly. The apprentice appraisers had to use the Divine Gaze Technique to "cleanse" treasures every day. Each treasure was like a blood-sucking demon, and the apprentice appraisers had no meat or medicinal food to nourish themselves. How could they maintain a healthy body and vigorous spirit?

Being thin and weak was very normal.

Even if their qi and blood were extremely deficient, sudden death was entirely possible.

Not to mention the threat of evil qi entering the body.

"Has your Divine Gaze Technique improved to the proficient level?"

Shen Lang's focus was different.

If appraising was easier, it must mean that the Divine Gaze Technique had improved.

Being able to "cleanse" and appraise four "living materials" in one day was only possible if the Divine Gaze Technique had reached the proficient level.

"Probably? I'm not sure.

I just feel that using the Divine Gaze Technique is faster and much easier.

By the way, the speed of the mental 'cleansing' seems to be faster too."

Chen Shaojun pretended to be confused.

"That's probably it.

Tomorrow I'll notify Zhang Gao, and he will test you.

As for learning martial arts, it's good to have the intention.

But don't neglect our work in the pawnshop."

Shen Lang clearly took Chen Shaojun more seriously and quickly reminded him.
