230: Chapter 230 Immaculate Body

Wisps of qi descended from the willow branch of the Guanyin Bodhisattva like a fine drizzle.

It landed on Shi Xiaoya and seeped directly into her body.

Shi Xiaoya let out a soft moan, but quickly stifled it and gradually became immersed in the sensation.

This "drizzle" lasted for three minutes.

The phantom image of the Guanyin Bodhisattva retracted the willow branch and slowly dissipated.

Han Jingyang and Liu Jing stared nervously at Shi Xiaoya on the bed.

Wrapped tightly, Shi Xiaoya slowly opened her eyes. She carefully lifted a corner of the bath towel and sniffed. "Huh, there's no smell at all."

She then tossed the bath towel aside, jumped up, and inspected her limbs. "Boss, I've become fairer, and my body feels so much lighter. This, this, this is just too magical."

Liu Jing's almond eyes went wide, staring intently at Shi Xiaoya's noticeably fairer skin; she was practically drooling.

Becoming fairer is the dream of almost every woman.

Especially for our people, who have an obsession with fair skin rooted deep in their bones. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a history of using lead powder for whitening. Nowadays, it's even crazier; they buy bottles of five- or six-thousand-yuan Black Bandage cream one after another. Various cosmetics and medical aesthetic procedures have become things that most women will buy even if it means skipping meals.

However, cosmetics and medical aesthetic products are ultimately just temporary fixes, superficial products that cannot truly make a person healthy. If you stop using them for three days, not only will you revert to your original state, but some medical aesthetic products even have serious side effects; if you don't get a treatment for three months, your face shape collapses, which is quite absurd.

But Han Jingyang's method has none of those concerns. This is a change from head to toe, from the inside out. It is a healthy, sustainable change; one change benefits you for a lifetime.

Han Jingyang estimated that even if this Stainless Body couldn't keep Shi Xiaoya eternally young, it could maintain her state for a very long time. Normal people only enter a state of aging from infancy to middle age. It could last for at least thirty-five years; Shi Xiaoya maintaining this state for another thirty years should be no problem.

Even if she ages naturally in the future, it's no big deal to just do it again.

Holy crap!

Shi Xiaoya hit the jackpot.

This pure gold guanyin statue is a Grade 6 item. Every time it is fully charged, it can be used twice, taking about ten years to charge.

In other words, it can be used twice every ten years.

Yet, using this skill once grants an effect that lasts for about thirty years.

What does this mean?

It means Shi Xiaoya could absolutely turn this into a business.

As long as she makes those tycoons believe in the effectiveness of this skill, charging one hundred million for a single use wouldn't be expensive at all. After all, this is equivalent to a weakened version of eternal youth, a disguised form of returning to one's youth. For the wealthy, it's like starting a new life.

With this effect... is one hundred million expensive?

Even if it were in US dollars, I bet plenty of people would be willing to pay.

There aren't exactly many billionaires in the world who can shell out one hundred million USD, but there aren't few either; there are probably tens of thousands of them in total.

And this skill can only be used once every five years. Excluding the one time Shi Xiaoya used it herself, there would only be five opportunities available for trade within thirty years.

Tens of thousands of billionaires fighting over five opportunities? That might just trigger a new world war.

Hmm, and that's not even considering the high-ranking officials of various countries. If you count them, the competition would be even fiercer.

Thinking of this, even Han Jingyang felt tempted.

This skill is truly powerful.

It's a pity the item grade is too low, and the number of uses is too few.

Otherwise, it would be even more awesome.

Liu Jing pounced on Shi Xiaoya, pulling her around to look at her from every angle, asking while she inspected her: "Do you feel any different?"

Shi Xiaoya was still immersed in the changes brought about by the skill's effect: "Different, very different. Even my breathing is much smoother, and my vision, hearing, and sense of smell have all significantly improved. It's just a very magical feeling; that all-encompassing improvement and change is very, very incredible."

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm. I had two scars on my arm before, very faint, but now they're all gone. Touch this skin, it's as white and delicate as top-grade Hetian jade. Wow, I love this feeling so much," Shi Xiaoya said, jumping straight into Han Jingyang's arms and kissing him right in front of Liu Jing.

After a long while, she released Han Jingyang, breathless, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Boss, it should be able to be used one more time, right?"

Han Jingyang nodded.

"You should use it."

"Me?"

"Mm-hmm, I don't need it for the short term anyway, and leaving it unused is just a waste."

Han Jingyang was actually quite tempted.

Since obtaining his golden finger, both Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya had received the nourishment of his skills and gained permanent effects.

Only I haven't experienced it yet.

However...

Han Jingyang shook his head. "I don't need it. Give it to Liu Jing."

"How could you not need it?" Shi Xiaoya squirmed in Han Jingyang's arms, acting coquettishly. "It's very good for the body, good in every way."

"I really don't need it for now. On the contrary, you two are in urgent need of improving your strength. This fundamental change will maximize your potential, equivalent to a stat reset in a game. It has the greatest effect on you two."

"But..."

"Behave," Han Jingyang casually patted Shi Xiaoya's lower back, feeling the swaying sensation, and coughed. "Although this opportunity is rare, it's nothing here. If I'm lucky, I might find something with similar functions tomorrow, and I'll use it then."

At this moment, Liu Jing also suppressed her envy and said, "Boss, you should use it first. I'll wait for the next opportunity. Besides, come to think of it, I was the first to use this kind of dharma instrument, and I've used it quite a few times."

This was the plain truth.

Liu Jing had used "Guan Gong Possession" three times and had also used "Muscle Stretching and Bone Aligning" once, all of which provided permanent improvements.

However, the changes brought by these four improvements were really not as good as one "Stainless Body".

The skill effects were simply not on the same level.

Because of this, Han Jingyang believed that giving Liu Jing a "Stainless Body" would significantly boost her combat power.

This was far more worth it than any beauty treatment.

As for beauty treatments or even eternal youth, Han Jingyang didn't think it was a big deal; he might just come across such an item at any time.

Shi Xiaoya thought about it, then pushed Liu Jing onto the bed. "Good sister, the boss has spoken, so don't be reserved. Come on, take off your clothes and get ready to receive the baptism from the Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Liu Jing lay down, half-reluctant, half-willing.

Han Jingyang activated "Stainless Body" once again.

The phantom image of the Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared once again.

Only this time, the duration was relatively short, just over two minutes.

After it ended, Liu Jing jumped up with a "whoosh": "It's truly magical! Boss, I feel like my body is several times lighter; it's like suddenly having shackles removed. Hmm, you mentioned the six senses before, and I feel like my six senses have been strengthened. Now, I can sense your position even with my eyes closed. This is too amazing! Boss, there must be other benefits, right?"
