I've already ascended to immortality, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

He found his arm to be incredibly heavy.

It felt like something had drained me.

I didn't feel anything when I fired the air beams just now.

Sitting back on the sofa, I felt all my energy completely drained.

My hands and feet are cold, and my head feels dizzy.

Even changing one's mind seems to take a beat longer than usual.

"What happened? Are you alright, Master?"

The calico cat's animal language signals entered Bai Sheng's mind intermittently.

He placed his hand on Sanhua's back, his breathing a little short.

I rested with my eyes closed for a while.

The symptoms have only just begun to subside.

He suddenly remembered that there were many annotations under the fourth chapter of the *Tao Te Ching*.

It automatically transforms into annotations of the Mysterious Qi Technique.

It was mentioned in the last small print that...

After the internal energy is condensed, the body's blood and qi will be largely consumed by the true energy.

Without proper nourishment, the body won't be able to handle it.

The smaller print listed several medicinal herbs, all of which he had never heard of before.

For example, "Peiyuan Powder" and "Guben Pill".

It sounds like something you can't buy at a street-side pharmacy.

"You can't rush to make a pancake, and you can't rush to eat hot tofu!"

Bai Sheng realized he had acted too hastily.

He leveled up the Profound Qi Technique from beginner to maximum in one go.

Although his internal energy has improved, his physical foundation hasn't kept up.

It's like an engine that originally ran on gasoline.

Suddenly switched to aviation fuel,

The horsepower was increased, but the cylinders and pistons weren't strengthened in time.

Burning it for too long will inevitably cause problems.

The feeling of exhaustion caused by low blood sugar is amplified to twice its current level.

This is the first warning.

"Lord Prisoner, save me..."

Bai Sheng bent down and retrieved a 1L bottle of iced tea from under the coffee table.

I unscrewed the cap and took a few sips.

Much more comfortable.

The cool, sweet water flowed down my throat.

It was poured all the way into my stomach.

It temporarily suppressed the emptiness in my stomach.

Two minutes later, Bai Sheng was finally able to stand up.

His condition has improved somewhat.

He decided to stop trying to tough it out.

I need to find a place to nourish myself.

Bai Sheng opened his phone's map navigation and searched for "Chinese medicine shop".

There's a recent one called Jishengtang, a time-honored brand.

It takes about fifteen minutes to cycle from Cuizhu Garden.

"Well, this is the only way. Let's give it a try."

Bai Sheng went downstairs and rode a shared bicycle all the way there.

To be honest, he still has some psychological reservations about traditional Chinese medicine.

During high school,

My neighbor is a stay-at-home mom who's self-taught in Traditional Chinese Medicine; she's overly enthusiastic.

Every few days, they would knock on the door with a pot of dark, murky medicinal soup.

The soup contained intact cicada shells and unidentified dried worms...

They insist that this stuff can boost immunity.

They wouldn't leave until they saw him drink it.

Bai Sheng naturally wouldn't drink it.

Every time, I would pour it into the toilet drain when she wasn't looking.

Jishengtang!

Bai Sheng stood in front of the door.

The storefront isn't very big.

A vermilion signboard hung up.

He opened the glass door and went inside.

A mixed medicinal fragrance wafted over.

Behind the counter,

A young woman with short hair was sitting there, holding a steelyard and weighing goji berries.

"Hello, I would like to take some medicine."

Bai Sheng walked over and gave them the prescription.

"Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and prepared licorice root, three qian each..."

These were all the names of the medicines he had memorized from the annotations of Taoist books, word for word.

Although he didn't trust human prescriptions...

But I have great faith in the prescriptions in the Taoist scriptures.

"..."

After hearing the prescription, the girl looked him up and down and said, "Young man, do you have kidney deficiency?"

Bai Sheng: "..."

Chapter 27 Another pot!

"If they can't prescribe the medicine, I'll have to go to another clinic."

Bai Sheng turned around as if to leave, not intending to listen to the little girl's nonsense.

"Brother, please wait a moment..."

The girl quickly stood up and shouted:

"I'm not skilled enough, let my grandfather take a look."

Bai Sheng stopped in his tracks, frowning as he said:

"It's no use asking anyone else; just prescribe the medicine according to my prescription."

"It's definitely possible to prescribe the medicine."

The problem is, I don't recognize any of the medications you're talking about!

"..."

Just as the two were talking, an old man wearing reading glasses stepped forward:

"Young man, tell me, what's your prescription again?"

Bai Sheng had no choice.

I had no choice but to be patient.

I repeated the recipe I had just given.

"hiss!"

The old pharmacist took off his reading glasses.
