Chapter 9 The Value of the Top-Grade Strength Pill: Making a Small Profit

Chu Han arrived at a buffet restaurant.

200 federal currency per person, all-you-can-eat.

He wouldn't have been willing to spend this much before, but now everything gave way to cultivation.

Although this restaurant didn't have high-grade ingredients like spirit rice or beast meat, ordinary meat was plentiful.

Ever since Chu Han started cultivating the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art, he felt his appetite increase several times over.

His body also needed a massive amount of energy to support his cultivation.

After feasting, Chu Han walked out of the restaurant under the resentful gazes of the manager and waitstaff.

After returning to the martial arts hall, Chu Han continued to Cultivate.

An hour later, he discovered that the yuan qi vortex within his body had suddenly vanished, replaced by a wave of weakness and a strange pain.

It turned out he was cultivating too quickly; his body couldn't withstand the baptism of such a large amount of essence energy, and his cells had suffered some damage.

Aside from him, no one had yet been able to master all 36 postures of the first layer of the body forging art on their first day. He hadn't given his body time to adapt and recover, and by forcing his cultivation, he had caused this situation.

Normally, he would just need to rest for one night and continue his cultivation tomorrow.

But he didn't want to waste these rare cultivation conditions.

With a thought, a bottle of Medicinal Pills appeared in his hand.

Uncorking the bottle, he poured out a body tempering pill.

If his cultivation hadn't been hindered, he would have forgotten about the body tempering pills.

Taking a body tempering pill could strengthen muscles, fascia, and bones, and enhance Physique strength, blood qi, and Foundation.

It was exactly the Spirit Pill needed to assist in body tempering!

He immediately took a body tempering pill. As the medicinal power spread, his damaged cells were restored instantly, and a new surge of power welled up, strengthening his body.

Chu Han was overjoyed and immediately resumed his Cultivation.

Sure enough, the yuan qi vortex reappeared in his Dantian, and a vast amount of essence energy poured continuously into his body.

The cells throughout his body rapidly grew stronger under the nourishment of the essence energy.

He cultivated until evening before the medicinal power of a single body tempering pill was completely absorbed.

Chu Han finished his Cultivation and tested his strength again.

1900!

1950!

The strength in both arms had reached around 1,900 jin!

Remarkable progress!

"It looks like exceeding 2,000 jin tomorrow is a certainty."

Chu Han left the Cultivation Chamber, satisfied.

Arriving at the front desk, someone was waiting for him.

"Brother Han! You're finally out. I've been waiting for you for two hours!"

This person greeted Chu Han enthusiastically.

"Zhao Feiyu? Why are you waiting for me?" Chu Han asked, puzzled.

Zhao Feiyu was a friend he had met at the War Hammer Martial Arts Hall. He was the same age as Chu Han and a senior at the First Middle School.

Unlike him, Zhao Feiyu was a second-generation rich kid with an excellent Family background!

He had come to this martial arts hall to Cultivate just to pursue a school beauty from the First Middle School.

But since meeting Chu Han, Zhao Feiyu had become Chu Han's little fanboy, especially admiring his talent.

Every time he came to the martial arts hall, he would Cultivate with Chu Han and had made significant progress.

After that school beauty left, Zhao Feiyu stayed here.

"He wants to learn from you on how to get stronger quickly."

Sister Yue said with a smile.

Chu Han laughed, "Oh? Don't you know I've become the biggest joke of the Third Middle School? You should have awakened a decent talent; do you still need to seek me out for cultivation?"

Zhao Feiyu waved his hand and said, "I've heard, but I'm not like those short-sighted people. You're the first person whose potential value exceeded my sister's. Even without a talent, you can still become a powerful Martial Artist!"

"I heard you insta-killed someone who awakened a B-Rank Talent at the hall. That confirms my theory."

Chu Han nodded. "Thank you. You're one of the few people who support me."

"Alright, Brother Han, don't get all sentimental with me. I want to know how you suddenly became so strong. I can see your strength has increased a lot. How exactly did you do it?"

Zhao Feiyu seemed very eager to get stronger, his face full of anticipation.

Naturally, Chu Han couldn't say it was because he was using a cheat.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I met a mysterious expert yesterday. Seeing that I hadn't awakened a talent, he felt it was a pity and gave me a bottle of Medicinal Pills."

"Something that good happened? Why haven't I run into that!" Zhao Feiyu wailed.

Chu Han asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to get stronger? Was your talent Awakening not good?"

Zhao Feiyu said with a long face, "Sigh, I awakened an ancestral talent, the A-Rank Mad Lion Bloodline. However, my Family has a special way to judge the purity of the Mad Lion Bloodline, divided into four levels: blue, purple, black, and gold. The highest level, Gold Bloodline, is an S-rank Talent, while the lowest, Blue Bloodline, is an A-Rank Talent. And what I awakened was the Blue Bloodline, the weakest in the Family."

"The Blue Bloodline talent made me fall behind right from the start. I haven't even become a Quasi-Martial Artist since my Awakening. At this rate, I'm afraid I won't get into Kyoto Martial Arts University. If that happens, I'll definitely be the shame of the Family!"

"Although the Family has a Secret Technique to upgrade the Bloodline, I have to get into Capital Martial Arts University first."

Seeing Zhao Feiyu's miserable expression, Chu Han felt a sense of shared hardship.

Zhao Feiyu was the shame of his Family, and he was the joke of the whole school.

Based on that alone, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

However, Chu Han still felt a bit of an imbalance in his heart.

In a great Family like the one Zhao Feiyu came from, even Awakening an A-Rank Talent was considered a shame, whereas for ordinary people, even Awakening an E-rank talent was a distant dream.

The gap between people was truly too large.

"Brother Han, you must have a way to help me, right?" Chu Han was Zhao Feiyu's last hope.

Chu Han smiled and took out the porcelain bottle containing the supreme great strength pills. "There are five supreme great strength pills in here. Each one can increase your strength by 100 jin."

"100 jin? You can probably only take one of these pills, right? Are there any side effects? I've already taken ordinary great strength pills; won't there be a conflict in medicinal power?" Zhao Feiyu asked doubtfully.

"I took five, and there were no side effects. I was actually planning to take the remaining five to an auction later," Chu Han explained.

"Don't auction them! Sell them to me instead. You're my dear brother! I'll pay 50,000 federal currency for each supreme great strength pill!"

Zhao Feiyu said, his eyes lighting up as he heard this.

"50,000?"

Chu Han was startled. Zhao Feiyu truly lived up to being a second-generation rich kid; his opening offer was ten times the price of an ordinary great strength pill.

"Brother Han, if you think it is too little, I can pay more!"

Zhao Feiyu was determined to get these five supreme great strength pills.

Chu Han laughed, "No need. 50,000 each is fine. I'll sell them all to you."

With that, he handed the porcelain bottle to Zhao Feiyu.

Zhao Feiyu immediately transferred 250,000 federal currency to Chu Han's card.

Seeing the huge sum of 250,000 arrive, Chu Han suddenly felt even better than getting stronger through Cultivation.

Adding the 10,000 federal currency he won from the lottery, Chu Han's net worth had reached 260,000.

260,000 was what his mother would need to work two or three years to earn.

As expected, becoming a Martial Artist was the most profitable!

Zhao Feiyu had already taken one supreme great strength pill, and a series of crackling sounds erupted from his body.

Then he went to the strength tester in the public area and tested his single-arm strength.

1011 jin!

"As expected of someone who awakened an A-Rank Talent. His basic conditions are much better than mine."

Chu Han noticed that Zhao Feiyu's strength before taking the pill was already higher than his own before he had taken any.

"Hahaha! My strength has finally reached the level of a Quasi-Martial Artist!"

Zhao Feiyu was as happy as a monkey.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the remaining four supreme great strength pills.

In the end, his single-arm strength reached 1,487 jin.

"1,487! Haha... 1,487 jin! These pills are so worth it!"

Zhao Feiyu was so excited he almost jumped.

If he had to find a way on his own, he wouldn't have achieved this effect even in half a month.

"Brother Han, you are my benefactor!"

Zhao Feiyu was extremely excited, his admiration for Chu Han growing even more.
