Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen was also surprised by Qi Lirong's physical condition. It resembled a cold constitution, but it was different from a typical cold constitution.

He placed his fingers on his pulse, and it felt like touching a block of ice.

Many people develop a cold constitution later in life, but some are born with it.

Qi Lirong is one of those people who were born with this talent, and it's quite special.

Her condition is like a PLUS version of being cold-natured, which is quite rare; Ye Chen has never seen anything like it before.

Of course, being naturally cold-natured isn't a serious illness; it just means you're prone to low immunity, feeling cold, and having a weak spleen and stomach.

For girls, menstrual irregularities and discomfort are the most distressing.

The only solution for this type of physical problem is to pay more attention to one's diet and gradually regulate it with acupuncture and moxibustion.

Rome wasn't built in a day; a fine horse can travel a thousand miles in a day.

If she doesn't pay attention to her health on a regular basis, it's easy for the condition to recur.

It's not that it's impossible for someone with her physical condition to go to the mountains to teach, but she will have to endure more hardship than the average person.

"The doctor should have told you to be careful about your condition, right?" Ye Chen said calmly.

"Yes, the doctor said it requires long-term treatment, but..." Qi Lirong hesitated.

Ye Chen noticed her predicament. She was a girl from the mountains, and her clothes were very simple, even cheaper than his previous outfits.

I doubt they have much spare money to take care of their health.

If she were to receive normal treatment, the treatment period would indeed be very long, and there's no guarantee of effectiveness. The main issue is that her spleen and stomach are very weak, resulting in low absorption efficiency.

While others might see results after eating one serving of something, she might need to eat several servings without achieving the same effect.

This creates a cycle.

So burning money definitely means burning money.

She's still young and in her prime, so she can still handle it.

If you're over 30, you'll definitely be a walking pharmacy.

"I also tried to treat it for a while, but it only had a short-term effect!" Qi Lirong said weakly.

Ye Chen nodded: "Understood!"

Qi Lirong, a little embarrassed, continued, "I just wanted to hear if you had any suggestions, any ways to improve the situation without spending much money!"

Ye Chen knew her situation, so he wasn't surprised that she said that.

Of course, he has many other methods as well.

For example, you could give her a disease-curing pill or a bone-cleansing pill directly.

For example, he could teach her cultivation methods, and if she practiced for a period of time, she would definitely be able to fundamentally change her physique.

These two methods are effective immediately and should prevent recurrence.

However, he was not familiar with Qi Lirong, so it was definitely not appropriate for him to teach her cultivation methods.

If we were to help her, we would offer her acupuncture, moxibustion, and traditional Chinese medicine treatments – the standard approach.

For Tingting's sake as her roommate, it wouldn't be unreasonable to charge her a lower fee, or even just the cost price.

Just as Ye Chen was about to speak after a moment of contemplation, Qi Lirong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, her face turned pale, her lips were bloodless, and she began to tremble slightly.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Damn, this PLUS version of the Cold Body is really tough.

She looks like she's in a lot of pain. I really don't know how she's managed to endure all these years.

Is it because people from poor families are more resistant to the cold?

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

[Ding—System notification: Rare Xuanming Physique Detected. Taking on a disciple or engaging in dual cultivation with one will trigger a hidden reward!]

The system's notification sounded briefly and clearly in Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. What the heck?

The system is giving me a notification?

This notification wasn't there before; it only appeared when you completed certain tasks and actively triggered the hidden reward.

Now they're actually giving him hints on their own.

Also, what's this? The Xuanming Body? Is it real?

What exactly is the Xuanming Body? It sounds pretty awesome.

Ye Chen was also hearing this professional term for the first time, so he didn't understand its meaning.

Literally speaking, it should be some kind of special cold constitution!

Ye Chen understood the idea of ​​taking on a disciple or engaging in dual cultivation, especially the term "dual cultivation."

He didn't mind, after all, Qi Lirong was quite pretty. Although she was a bit thin, it was easy to see that she was still quite attractive, she just didn't dress up much.

Pshaw, what is he thinking? It's not necessary to hide the reward, it's not necessary at all!

He's a man of principle!

Besides, even if he's willing, the other person might not!

However, Ye Chen didn't want to miss out on the hidden rewards, so he had no choice but to take on apprentices!

Qi Lirong's character should be decent. She comes from the mountains and wants to go back to the mountains to give back to society. Even if she is bad, how bad can she be?

It wouldn't be a loss to take her as a disciple if she's willing.

Ye Chen had already made up his mind.

He looked at Qi Lirong and coughed lightly: "I have a family secret technique that can help you, but it's not passed on to outsiders. You need to become my disciple before I can teach it to you. Think about it!"

He wasn't taking advantage of her vulnerability; Qi Lirong wouldn't suffer any loss by becoming his disciple.

If others knew he was a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, they'd probably break down the threshold of his house trying to become his disciple.

Qi Lirong's symptoms were intermittent, and the pain subsided slightly after a short while.

She slowly exhaled, her lips trembling slightly as she looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What, what did you just say?"

Qi Lirong was somewhat unable to speak.

"I said, if you become my disciple, I will pass on my secret techniques to you. Of course, the choice is yours. Even if you don't become my disciple, I can still use other methods to treat you!" Ye Chen said calmly.

"Become an apprentice? Is it that simple? I don't need to do anything? Like offer my body? I noticed your eyes were a bit strange just now, do you have any special fetishes?" Qi Lirong was somewhat suspicious.

Ye Chen stumbled, thinking, "Damn, this girl really dares to say anything!"

Even when you're feeling so bad yourself, you still have the mind to observe others.

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Cough cough cough, no, no need. I'm not that little Fu student, I don't play those games. It's really just a simple apprenticeship. You can't pass on what I teach you without my permission, that's all!"

"Is it really that simple?" Qi Lirong stared at Ye Chen, trying to see his micro-expressions.

Good grief, he's being treated like the big bad wolf. Ye Chen sighed helplessly, adopting a superior air: "Really! Besides, do I look like the kind of bad guy who takes advantage of others in distress?"

Qi Lirong stared at Ye Chen for a long time, then finally burst out laughing:

"Actually, I'm not against any other requests you might have. After all, you're the most handsome guy I've ever seen. You're mature and have a unique charm that sets you apart from others. You're my type, and giving you my first time wouldn't be a loss for me!"

Ye Chen's face darkened. This seemingly quiet girl was actually quite free-spirited...
