Chapter 119: Chapter 113: This Child is So Terrifying! (Two Chapters Combined, Part 2)

“What kind of elixir is this?”

Zhao Nanshan sighed deeply and said in a low voice:

“This elixir is called the Mystic Spirit Pill. It was the Body Refining elixir I used during my cultivation. Since my powers were destroyed, it’s been left unused. I might as well give it to you.”

“Does the Gang Condensation Realm also require Body Refining?”

Chen Yuan only knew about Martial Arts Foundation Establishment, which was the Body Refining Realm to prepare for absorbing Qi, but he was not particularly familiar with the Gang Condensation Realm.

“Body Refinement and Body Refining are different. Body Refinement uses blood and Qi to refine the limbs and skin, while Body Refining uses the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to temper the viscera. Otherwise, how could one condense evil spirits?”

Chen Yuan nodded, somewhat confused:

“But… can the elixir used in the Gang Condensation Realm also refine the body?”

“Of course, although the main effect of this pill is not that, it can still exert significant effects at the Bone Refining Level, one pill is equivalent to the strength of ten Tiger Bone Pills.”

“However, this pill is expensive, rarely used in the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and I also no longer need it, otherwise, I wouldn’t give it to you…” Zhao Nanshan glanced at Chen Yuan.

It seemed as if he was saying that Chen Yuan was inexperienced.

“Moreover… while refining bones, a trace of the pill’s power also permeates the viscera nourishing them, which is another benefit.”

Zhao Nanshan explained earnestly for Chen Yuan.

“Elder Zhao.”

“Hmm?”

“I have another question.”

“What is it?”

“You said this pill was for your own cultivation initially, but it’s been over a decade since you were injured. This elixir…” Chen Yuan looked over the elixir in the wooden box with some hesitation.

He was both tempted by the effects Zhao Nanshan mentioned and a bit hesitant about whether this thing might have expired.

Could the current storage environment really preserve its quality for over a decade?

Could it be that it no longer has any medicinal potency?

With Chen Yuan’s strength, he was not afraid of upsetting his stomach, it was just… he feared some other issues might arise.

“The materials used in Foundation Establishment Realm and those of the Gang Condensation Realm are different. The elixirs that assist in absorbing Qi and refining the body all involve spiritual medicine, which can be stored even for twenty years.”

“Spiritual medicine…”

Chen Yuan heard another new term.

“Spiritual medicines are nurtured by Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, each plant is extremely valuable. For a Mystic Spirit Pill like this, only a small portion is mixed in.”

“Even a small portion can significantly increase the value of this pill.”

“Once you join the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, you will naturally understand. Knowing too much now isn’t much use. You just need to know that this pill is useful for you.”

“If you hadn’t developed Dark Force, and your strength wasn’t extraordinary, I wouldn’t have given you the Mystic Spirit Pill, otherwise it would harm you…”

“There are countless instances where the body and bones could not withstand the power of the pill and were damaged instead.”

Zhao Nanshan slowly shook his head.

He had asked Chen Yuan about his Dark Force training earlier to prepare him for this pill.

Given Chen Yuan’s demonstrated strength in the Bone Refining Level, which was already very strong, and his ability to easily break a stone table with one palm, it was sufficient to prove that Chen Yuan’s strength and bones could more than handle the power of the Mystic Spirit Pill.”

“Thank you for your generous gift, Elder Zhao.”

Chen Yuan spoke seriously as he bowed with his hands clasped together.

It should be said, Zhao Nanshan had indeed been very supportive of Chen Yuan, having assisted him a great deal and provided much guidance. This old man was truly dependable! When there were things to handle before, he truly stepped up!

If there was a chance to find spiritual objects that could repair meridians in the future, Chen Yuan would not be stingy.

“Do you know why I value you so much?”

Zhao Nanshan looked at Chen Yuan, speaking lightly.

“Could it be because I am the protagonist?” Chen Yuan jokingly thought to himself.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought of his.

How could he possibly be the legendary protagonist?

“Why?”

“Because your character is well-suited for roaming in the Jianghu. You are much smarter than I was,” Zhao Nanshan said softly.

“Elder Zhao flatters me.”

“That’s enough, this elixir is the last help I can offer you. Now, go…”

Zhao Nanshan motioned with his hand.

“I shall take my leave, and I’ll visit you again next time.”

Chen Yuan stood up.

“Next time when you visit me, remember to bring something. You always come empty-handed and take something from me,” Zhao Nanshan shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

Initially, while he valued Chen Yuan, he was more wary of him.

“Definitely, next time!”

Chen Yuan bowed and turned to leave.

Watching Chen Yuan’s departing figure from a distance, Zhao Nanshan watched for a long while before standing up and walking into the room. He opened the wooden panel beneath the table,

Inside… there was nothing.

This time, his words were true.

He really didn’t have anything good left to give to Chen Yuan…

After bidding farewell to Zhao Nanshan, Chen Yuan carried some wine and dishes to Wang Ping’s house.

His family was much wealthier than Chen Yuan’s, with a double-entry courtyard, ranking them as middle class in Ping’an County.

“Brother Yuan…”

Hearing the noise outside, Wang Ping hurried out the door and immediately noticed the items in Chen Yuan’s hands.

“What is this?”

Wang Ping faintly realized something.

“As a farewell between friends.”

Chen Yuan hoisted the wine and meat, showing them off.

…

…

On the rooftop of the Wang Family house.

Two figures sat, occasionally sipping wine. Next to them were several empty wine jars, and a small table held several dishes of snacks.

Most of the snacks had been eaten, leaving only a stack of beef and a plate of peanuts.

Wang Ping picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and gazed forward at the setting sun, muttering:

“Brother Yuan, with you gone, I really won’t have a close friend left in Ping’an County.”
