Chapter 28: Mid-stage, Wonderful Sound At Two Hundred Seventy
The stove fire rose, ginger slices burst with fragrance, and the fish body was added to the pot and fried until golden.
Boiling water was poured over, white mist billowing.
In just a moment, a small pot of fresh and fragrant fish soup was ready.
After drinking the fish soup, Chen Shun’an narrowed his eyes, feeling the changes in Qi and Blood in his abdomen.
Soon after, streams of trickling Qi and Blood flowed out.
Though not abundant, it was exceptionally ‘light and pure’, like white clouds emerging from a mountain peak, moving with the breath, and even without Chen Shun’an actively circulating it, this Qi and Blood dispersed into all parts of his body.
A feeling completely different from after taking the Dragon Elephant Bone Quenching Pill surged into his heart.
Cool and refreshing, clear and crisp.
If taking the Bone Quenching Pill was like using an iron hammer, roughly and barbarically hammering wildly inside Chen Shun’an’s body, shaking the Qi and Blood to surge and spread.
Then the Spirit Fish soup was like using a cold icy spring to rapidly freeze his limbs and bones, even the minute flesh and blood places usually ignored, forcing the violently surging Qi and Blood to flow back to the core organs.
Achieving the purpose of expelling Hidden Injuries and quickly relieving bodily fatigue!
This suddenly reminded Chen Shun’an of the mid Second-rate stage’s ‘Pearl Gathering and Origin Retrieval’ intent.
Mobilizing the Qi Seed to nourish the body, heal injuries, and expel toxins.
The two seemed to share a similar effect through different means!
Just with different methods.
For ordinary people, the Dragon Elephant Bone Quenching Pill could be taken at most two bottles per month; exceeding that risked Qi and Blood rampage and heavy bone numbness.
Chen Shun’an, having received Qing Ji’s Tendon and Vein Extension to improve his physique, had stronger drug resistance and could probably take about three bottles per month.
But upon careful consideration, Chen Shun’an was astonished to find that with this Spirit Fish washing away his bruises and recovering his bodily fatigue, he could probably take four or five bottles per month without much issue?
No, there was a big problem.
It was too expensive!
“Dragon Elephant Bone Quenching Pill as the main, Spirit Fish as auxiliary, combining the two seems to produce an effect greater than one plus one!”
Chen Shun’an was delighted in his heart.
He also thought of that insolent Exotic Silver Fish that dared to insult the Water Origin Great Emperor.
One day, it must visit my Chen Mou’s five viscera temple!
At this moment,
Chen Shun’an struck while the iron was hot, continuing to practice cultivation and circulate Qi and Blood until the Spirit Fish’s medicinal effect was exhausted and he felt somewhat mentally fatigued, then he fell into a deep sleep.
Until the next day at dawn, he instinctively woke and continued stake stepping.
Days passed one by one.
Pushing the cart for water delivery, dietary supplements and medicinal baths, practicing cultivation and stake stepping, listening to Scholar Ma read and recite scriptures.
Every few days, he went to Banye Ferry Crossing to find bargains and buy fish, and also got acquainted with the vendors at the Fish Market.
Chen Shun’an went to the Ghost Market again, purchasing two extra bottles of Dragon Elephant Bone Quenching Pill.
Guiyuan Soup, Polygonatum, and other nourishing medicines, Chen Shun’an took them all without hesitation, refining them!
The progress that others needed years of bitter cultivation to achieve.
Chen Shun’an harvested every day.
That fulfilling sense of getting significant income as long as he put in effort made Chen Shun’an immersed in it.
He even had the impulse to seclude himself here, become a martial fanatic, ignore the heaven and earth, and emerge only after becoming a Martial Saint of the human world.
As time passed, 《Meat Flying Immortal》’s thirty-six moves, Chen Shun’an successively mastered eight moves, ten moves, twelve moves, fourteen moves…
Wonderful Sound bone resonance, the number of vibrations also rose steadily.
One hundred thirty rings.
One hundred fifty rings.
One hundred seventy rings…
Beneath Chen Shun’an’s loose clothing was a physique that was becoming increasingly robust and thick with Qi and Blood.
Not swollen with bulging muscles, but sleek along the bones.
Seemingly thin and weak, yet able to erupt with astonishing strength at any time!
In a flash, it was already the end of May.
Crack!!
Black clouds like tides, wind roaring like dragons.
Chen Shun’an had just gotten out of bed and opened the door and window when he saw electric arcs dancing in the sky, like silver snakes flying, instantly covering half the dome.
Dark clouds enveloped, dim and gloomy, but the rain wouldn’t fall.
The entire heaven and earth felt sticky and damp, even breathing was laborious.
Chen Shun’an frowned.
“These days, the weather is getting weirder and weirder. This rain has been holding back for almost half a month; it seems like it’s finally about to come down?”
Chen Shun’an liked rainy days, especially at night.
Torrential rain pouring, heaven and earth in chaos, wind and rain sounds enough to drown out all screams and the smell of blood.
Most suitable for killing.
Boom!!
Chen Shun’an’s spine shook, and he leaped into the gale.
But a crisp sound exploded in the ears; the cloth shoe sole scraped white smoke on the ground, and a hundred-jin stone lock in the courtyard was kicked to shift three feet horizontally. Then with lightness skill, his figure swayed like a drunkard, clearly staggering yet rooting with stake steps.
Twenty Qi and Blood Seeds swam out from the bone marrow together.
Chen Shun’an’s entire skin and flesh rolled uniformly, somewhat similar to Instructor Lin’s demonstration of the ‘Pearl Gathering and Origin Retrieval’ realm in the Second Meat Shop that day.
In terms of skill and foundation, not much inferior to Instructor Lin!
Rib Piercing Leg, Heart Breaking Kick, Side Piercing Leg, Inner Binding Side Piercing Leg, Inner Binding Small Tip…
Twenty consecutive moves linked fluidly, like flowing clouds and waters.
In the end, Chen Shun’an’s figure in the courtyard became nearly invisible, forming streaks and wisps of bluish-gray afterimages, swirling like smoke and mist with the airflow.
Just like some spiritual mushroom releasing countless spores and dust, elusive.
Hoo!
Finally, Chen Shun’an stopped, exhaling like an arrow, with crackling sounds like thunder from inside his body.
Second-rate mid stage, Wonderful Sound two hundred seventy!
This was Chen Shun’an’s martial arts achievement over these days.
Even not far from the later stage’s twenty-four moves.
Moreover, in terms of Wonderful Sound bone resonance count, it even surpassed Instructor Lin!
By Chen Shun’an’s estimate, Instructor Lin’s Wonderful Sound bone resonance was between one hundred fifty and two hundred.
If higher…
Instructor Lin would have broken through to First-rate realm long ago and wouldn’t be wasting his years at a Turbid Water Well!
After all, no matter how strong Instructor Lin was or invincible in the same realm, he was still just a Second-rate Warrior!
In just a short month, Chen Shun’an went from just recovering from a major illness to this current level.
Every time he thought of this, Chen Shun’an couldn’t help but feel his mind sway, marveling at the wonder of 【Three Officials of Water True Treasure Edict】 and the difficulty of his diligent martial arts practice.
And besides that.
【Wish: 172】
【Invest 2 points of Divine Power, Qing Ji·Human Movement Armor Horse can upgrade to Cloud Movement Armor Horse, elusive as clouds, Tiger Tendon Leopard Vein】
Since developing the Li Family as a benefactor, Chen Shun’an’s daily Wish was guaranteed at 15 points.
If encountering a ‘peak water period’ when clients all used water together, he could even earn over 30 points of Wish in a day!
The early snowballing advantage was gradually showing.
Although, the cost of these gains was also enormous.
Qing Ji·Human Movement Armor Horse’s Tendon and Vein Extension and Root Bone alteration effects were completely exhausted.
The Wei Zhong Great Tendon seemed to have grown to its limit; since yesterday, there was no more scalding sensation.
Chen Shun’an’s savings had also dropped sharply from over a hundred taels of silver initially to less than fifty taels now.
Chen Shun’an’s daily Blessed Water delivery and medicinal dietary supplement expenses averaged 2 taels of silver!
In terms of financial investment, not inferior at all to the true inheritance disciples of the Capital City Martial Arts Hall, camp soldiers, and heirs of influential families.
The poor study literature, the rich practice martial arts—well-deserved.
