285: So that's how this thing is used!
"It's nothing, I just wanted to try it."
Chen Heng closed his eyes and activated the Netherworld Heart Fire Inner Qi within his heart.
The next moment, a pitch-black branch grew from Chen Heng's nostril, bearing a scorching, pitch-black fruit.
"What is this thing?" Bai Jun, somewhat puzzled, picked the fruit and toyed with it in his palm.
"Try it, you'll know once you eat it."
Chen Heng grinned, eagerly anticipating Bai Jun's reaction after eating it.
"Oh, then I'll try it." Hearing Chen Heng's words, Bai Jun threw the fruit into his mouth without hesitation.
A burning sensation swept over him, and then Bai Jun felt a wisp of black flame appear in his heart.
"What is this?" Bai Jun closed his eyes, attempting to activate the flame in his heart.
Puff!
A black flame appeared on Bai Jun's fingertip, cool and profound.
"No temperature?" Bai Jun placed his hand above the flame, sensing it, and said.
"That's right, although Netherworld Heart Fire burns all things, it itself has no temperature. It's actually more like corrosion."
Chen Heng nodded, and a wisp of black Netherworld Heart Fire also ignited in his own palm.
"Isn't this Big Brother Chen's..." Only then did Bai Jun realize that he seemed to have truly refined an extraordinary Medicinal Pill.
"Your Medicinal Pill is indeed useful, and its utility is not small."
Chen Heng nodded; this kid Bai Jun was indeed not simple.
"So that's how it is! This Medicinal Pill not only absorbs Spiritual Qi and qi and blood, but its true purpose is actually this!"
Under Chen Heng's guidance, Bai Jun finally understood the true purpose of his Medicinal Pill.
"If that's the case, then can't I also do something similar..."
Bai Jun picked up a date, popped it into his mouth, closed his eyes, and activated the lightning technique within his body.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, a branch grew from Bai Jun's nostril, and a fruit shimmering with electric sparks formed.
"This thing is fun!"
"I'll try others..."
"I'll try too..." Half a day passed, and the large basin of dates was completely eaten by the two of them.
Aside from the vast majority of blood-red fruits, the rest were various colorful fruits.
"It seems that besides the qi and blood fruit which can be permanently retained, the rest are all consumables."
Chen Heng rubbed his chin, looking at Bai Jun, who could no longer conjure Netherworld Heart Fire, and said.
"But it's still very strong, especially considering there's no threshold for the consumer."
Bai Jun tossed the half-dead Cao Jihan aside and sorted the various fruits into categories.
"Keep those miscellaneous fruits for yourself; don't give them to others."
Aside from the qi and blood fruit, Chen Heng did not intend to give the remaining fruits to anyone else.
The Spiritual Qi in Bai Jun's body could maximize the temporary abilities brought by these fruits, but qi and blood could not.
It seemed that some things completely changed their nature once they left the body.
Or perhaps... Chen Heng's qi and blood or body were unique?
"Oh, right, give me two of your lightning technique fruits to play with." Chen Heng got up, intending to leave, then turned his head and reached out to Bai Jun for two lightning technique fruits.
Bai Jun nodded, pulled out two lightning technique fruits from his pocket, and handed them to Chen Heng.
Chen Heng pocketed the remaining qi and blood fruit, intending to go find Yagyu Han and try it out now.
If Yagyu Han didn't have a strong reaction, then he could juice the fruit, dilute it, and give it to his family.
Finding Yagyu Han guzzling blood refining powder, Chen Heng walked right in.
"How have you been recently?" Chen Heng sat in front of the flushed Yagyu Han and asked.
"Big Brother, I've never felt this good!" Yagyu Han clenched his fists.
In just these few days, his qi and blood and cultivation had made significant progress.
At this rate, he could successfully Breakthrough to Tongxuan in at most fifteen days.
"Very good, eat this thing."
Chen Heng nodded and tossed a qi and blood fruit to Yagyu Han.
"What is this?" Yagyu Han looked at the fruit in his hand, which exuded hot qi and blood, and looked up at Chen Heng.
"This is a fruit condensed from the qi and blood within my body. Give it a try." Chen Heng had no intention of hiding the origin of this item.
"This... isn't appropriate, is it?" Yagyu Han swallowed, knowing how formidable his Big Brother was.
A fruit condensed from his Big Brother's qi and blood was something Yagyu Han had never even dared to imagine before.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. If I tell you to eat it, just eat it. So much nonsense."
Chen Heng frowned. Why had this kid become so indecisive?
"Okay!" Yagyu Han nodded vigorously and threw the qi and blood fruit into his mouth.
Next, a violent surge of qi and blood erupted from Yagyu Han's abdomen, continuously impacting his Meridians.
But the qi and blood, though intimidating, were not as terrifying as Yagyu Han had imagined.
After a while, a sweating Yagyu Han opened his eyes.
He looked at his hands, full of disbelief, and clenched them twice.
"I, I, I've reached Tongxuan?"
Just one fruit allowed him to reach Tongxuan?
"How is it? No strange feelings, right?"
Although Chen Heng knew that Bai Jun had eaten it without any issues, that was Bai Jun.
Even if he was a little weakling in Chen Heng's eyes, he was still a formidable figure in this world.
But Yagyu Han was different; he was just one of the common Martial Artists.
If Chen Heng hadn't helped him, he would have ended up as nothing more than a Huajin Martial Artist in this lifetime.
"No, there's nothing bad, except that my qi and blood have become purer and my cultivation has greatly increased."
Yagyu Han's eyes were still a bit dazed. Was the Tongxuan he had yearned for so simple?
"That's good then. Finish the rest of the blood refining powder and then you can scram. After the New Year, I'll accompany you to propose marriage."
Chen Heng nodded with satisfaction, got up, and left Yagyu Han's room.
He knew full well the nature of his own qi and blood.
If he were to truly give it to his family, he absolutely could not let them eat a whole fruit.
The best method would be to dilute one fruit into four portions and give it to them.
Arriving in the kitchen, under the shocked gazes of the few maids, Chen Heng crushed a qi and blood fruit into juice and divided it into four cups.
After each cup was heavily diluted with water, Chen Heng then carried the four cups of crimson juice into Chen Fugui's bedroom.
"Dad, drink this."
He handed the most concentrated cup to Chen Fugui.
"What's this?" Chen Fugui took the juice, sniffed it, and found the smell a bit strange.
"Just drink it when I tell you to. Drinking it will turn you directly into an Outer Strength Martial Artist."
Chen Heng rolled his eyes. This old man was still so suspicious.
"Really?" Chen Fugui had never heard of such an incredible thing, but he obediently drank the juice in the cup.
Soon, Chen Heng's qi and blood rapidly transformed Chen Fugui's body.
The fat on his body rapidly melted away, and the hidden ailments that had come from years of toil coupled with overeating all disappeared completely.
