Chapter 36 Departure
"Whew! That felt great!"
As Wang Sheng jumped out of the bathtub with a splash, he immediately felt the changes happening in his body.
The medicines recorded in this Body Tempering Manual do not greatly help improve the body's Qi and blood, but they do strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, and even the bones in the body seem to have gained a touch of gold.
"This medicine is not about superficially boosting qi and blood; in terms of solidifying the foundation, there is absolutely no better medicine."
The only side effect is that soaking in it is quite painful, but perhaps because I have entered the Golden Bone Realm, although soaking in this medicinal bath is painful, it has a kind of pleasurable pain.
Can pain be addictive?
Thinking it over, Wang Sheng activated [I am the furnace], storing the medicinal power that he could not absorb temporarily in his body.
Finally, the medicinal bath was cleaned up, and the waste liquid was thoroughly removed.
"Since Sister Yu won't let me go on stage tonight, I might as well borrow this training room to cultivate for another night."
After all, I need to go to the Linshan Second Hall to get my martial arts certificate tomorrow morning, so there's no rush to leave tonight.
After getting dressed, he greeted Liu Kun and found another cultivation room to stay in.
Then I took out my phone, opened the encrypted file sent by Wenjing, entered the password, and read aloud the words on it:
"The First Chapter of the 'Qi Gathering Technique'..."
......
The next day, at noon.
On a bus heading to Lushui County.
A young couple sat in the back row, their eyes fixed on the young passenger who was the last to board the bus.
"He's the target of our mission, right? He'll give us 10 credits."
The boy spoke up, saying his name was Jiang Xi, a freshman at the Extraordinary Practical Vocational College.
"Yes. It must be. This train number matches the information provided by Senior Wenjing, and there's only one handsome guy on the train. It can't be wrong."
The girl replied that her name was He Yunwei and that she was Jiang Xi's classmate.
Jiang Xi flicked his bangs:
"What are you saying? Am I not handsome?"
"vomit......"
"Did you throw up?!"
"Sorry, I'm a little carsick."
The journey from Qingjiang City to Lushui County takes about two hours, and the journey is now more than halfway complete. However, some passengers on the bus could no longer resist their hunger and took out food from their bags to start eating.
This also included Jiang Xi, who took out a piece of compressed rations, broke it in half, and handed it to He Yunwei beside him:
"Stop staring at the target like that, you're acting like a crazy woman. Aren't you afraid of being exposed by following him like that? It's so unprofessional."
He Yunwei took the food rations and took a crunchy bite:
"You don't know anything! Do you think I'm that kind of shallow person? Didn't you notice anything wrong with Wang Sheng?"
"Hmm? Something's not right?"
Jiang Xi was baffled. He took the initiative to hold his breath and concentrate, activating his Qi sense.
Then, he suddenly came to his senses:
"His qi and blood are fluctuating, sometimes surging and sometimes disappearing... Is Wang Sheng practicing the 'Qi Gathering Technique' in the car, and it looks like he's almost mastered it?"
He's definitely got some skills; no wonder Wenjing, the senior, has high hopes for him.
To be honest, when Jiang Xi first received this assignment, he thought that Senior Sister Wenjing wanted to take advantage of her young husband.
But now it seems that such a young prodigy from a poor family is indeed worth investing in.
Perhaps by helping someone when they're down, you can reap the benefits in the future.
Jiang Xi was thinking when he saw Wang Sheng take out a vial of Level 2 Strengthening and Nourishing Liquid worth 50,000 yuan from his bag and gulp it down in one go, as if he were just drinking a cold medicine.
no?!
You guys call this a poor student?!
......
As Wang Sheng drank the Level 2 Strengthening and Nourishing Liquid, his body began to absorb the medicinal power frantically, while the excess was temporarily stored by [I am the Furnace].
"Why......"
He sighed and put the empty tube away.
"It seems I've accidentally made things complicated."
Last night, while I was cultivating, Yu Yingshuang came to visit. She had heard that Wang Sheng could refine medicine and wanted to see it for herself.
Furthermore, Yu Yingshuang promised that Wang Sheng would not be charged any material fees for this alchemy project, and that Wang Sheng could keep all the medicine he could produce, regardless of its quality.
And so, Wang Sheng became arrogant.
He used all the skills he had acquired over fifteen years of studying medicine to successfully refine four tubes of Grade 3 Strengthening Essence Liquid and seventeen tubes of Grade 2 Strengthening Essence Liquid in one go.
Nearly one million yuan worth of medicinal herbs were used up in one go.
This truly startled Yu Yinshuang.
It wasn't that she was distressed about the cost of the medicinal herbs, but rather that a 15-year-old third-grade pharmacist was far more impressive than a 15-year-old first-grade... no, even more impressive than a 15-year-old second-grade martial artist!
Alchemy is a slow and meticulous process. No matter how talented one is, one must accumulate experience step by step to achieve something. It cannot be summarized by the word "genius".
At 15 years old, he is skilled in boxing, footwork, jujitsu, and grappling; he is also a third-grade pharmacist, a first-level martial artist, and possibly a first-level master...
This is something you could never do, even if you started learning from the womb!
If Wang Sheng were to reveal these things to bad people, he would probably be arrested, interrogated, and tortured.
"But Sister Yu... isn't she a good woman?"
Yes, it should be.
Although she was a female tycoon running an underground gray industry, I still felt that she respected and treated me well.
For example, Yu Yinshuang never inquires about privacy.
They didn't even mention wanting to see their own face, and the contracts were signed using code names and fingerprints. How could a normal boss possibly agree to that?
She's such a good person, and beautiful too.
"But now I not only have an additional pharmacist contract, which means I have to do another job, but the way they look at me has also changed."
It's just like......
I'm looking at a plump and tempting fruit, but I'm saddened that it's not ripe yet.
That's understandable. Rank 3 pharmacists are indeed powerful, but there are plenty of Rank 3 pharmacists in their forties and fifties. The powerful ones aren't Rank 3 pharmacists, but rather Rank 3 pharmacists who are only fifteen years old.
Therefore, only when Wang Sheng reaches the fourth or even fifth rank of pharmacist can he truly realize his value.
"Well, I've earned my living through my own abilities. Now I need to figure out how to legalize my under-the-table income to help support my family... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache."
The rest of the journey was uneventful, and the bus soon arrived in Lushui County.
At this moment, Wang Sheng had just begun to grasp the basics of the "Qi Gathering Technique." He quietly activated it, reducing his Qi and Blood value to around 1 point.
Suddenly, his demeanor changed. The sharp and arrogant aura he once displayed subsided, and he looked like an ordinary middle school student. It was also hard to tell whether he had broken through to the next level.
"The next fifty miles are all deserted roads, and it's impossible to get a taxi, so we'll have to walk."
For a martial artist, this was no problem. With a light tap of his toes, Wang Sheng, carrying his travel backpack, sped off towards the southern suburbs.
More than an hour later.
He finally spotted figures in the distance; it seemed to be a temporary camp.
There were many people near the campsite, and many of them had brought their own tents and set up camp nearby. From a distance, the colorful tents formed clusters of flowers on the grass.
"There must be at least a thousand people, right? Is this rift that popular?"
Wang Sheng sped up again and rushed towards the camp.
