Chapter 120 Low-Grade Qi and Blood Pill? (Please Subscribe)

"Hopefully, Uncle Wei and the others were indeed sent to expand the wall, just as that man said, and were not killed by someone."

Chen Fan looked toward the direction of Zhao Family Fortress and muttered to himself.

Looking down, one sees severed limbs and remains scattered everywhere, blood pooling in the ground, the heavy stench of blood wafting in all directions.

I'm afraid we won't even have to wait until nightfall; it won't be long before ferocious beasts like steppe wolves come running, drawn by the scent.

It's too late to say anything now.

The moment Zhao San was killed, it was destined that he would become Zhao Da's enemy, a fight to the death.

He took a deep breath and walked forward, retrieving his arrows as he looked around to see if there were any spoils of war.

To his disappointment, these people from Zhao Family Fortress were practically penniless. It seemed that, let alone ordinary people, even martial artists did not hold a high position in Zhao Family Fortress.

Walking up to Zhao San, Chen Fan bent down, picked up the binoculars from his hand, and then reached out and rummaged in his pocket.

The search revealed a small white bottle, about the size of a palm, which appeared to be made of ceramic and had three small characters written on it.

"Qi and Blood Pill?"

Chen Fan read out the name and frowned.

Elixir?

Judging from the name, it's related to qi and blood. Is it for restoring qi and blood?

Just then, he suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and he almost lost his balance. Not only that, but his arms also seemed to have no strength at all, and his left arm holding the bow was struggling.

"It's a side effect of using the power of Qi and blood."

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

He almost forgot about that.

It seems that consuming Qi and Blood to activate the Rapid Fire Arrows will last for about three minutes.

Three minutes later, I will enter a state of weakness.

It has to be said that he underestimated this aftereffect before. Now, he has difficulty even raising the bow, let alone drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

According to Uncle Zhang, martial artists must rest and carefully recuperate for several days after using their qi and blood power, during which time they must not engage in combat with others until they have fully recovered.

If not properly treated or if one gets into a fight with someone during this period, it's okay once or twice, but three or more times, the body will definitely suffer hidden injuries that will hinder future breakthroughs.

Chen Fan looked at the bottle in his hand, shook it, and heard a clattering sound inside. There were at least five or six Qi and Blood Pills inside.

Now seems to be the best time to verify the effects of this elixir.

He hesitated for a moment, then gave up.

The possibility of this pill being poisonous is extremely small, and it is highly likely to have a good effect. However, he doesn't know the specifics, so it would be best to take it back and ask Uncle Zhang.

More importantly, he doesn't need this to recover at all.

My gaze fell on the attribute panel, and I clicked on Realm Breakthrough.

The next moment, the shackles within his body were broken once again, and a surge of heat rushed out from his heart, flowing through his limbs and bones.

The aftereffects of depleting qi and blood disappeared almost instantly, and an unprecedented sense of fullness surged through my body.

He has become even stronger.

Realm: Mid-stage Body Refining

Level: 9 (0/200)

Physical condition: 128.95

Power: 127.08

Agility: 78.58

Spirit: 19.72

Potential Points: 282 (15 points/day)

XP: 422

Having broken through to the mid-stage of the Meat Refining realm, the growth rate of potential points has increased from 10 points per day to 15 points, an increase of 5 points per day.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat, and it's a freebie, so Chen Fan naturally wouldn't object.

Both physical and strength attributes are progressing in tandem, aiming for 130 points.

The agility attribute has also improved significantly, reaching nearly 80 points. Once the "Light Footwork on Water" skill is unlocked, it should catch up with the other two attributes very quickly.

As for spiritual attributes

19.72 points.

I'm just 0.3 points away from reaching the threshold for cultivating the [Moon Gazing Technique].

"Once we get back to the village, I'll use my potential points to strengthen my body again."

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the potential points. Now that there was no shortage of food, he could probably gain more than 100 potential points a day.

Putting the bottle back in his pocket, Chen Fan continued to search.

Soon, they found another booklet with four large characters written on the cover.

[Eye-brightening exercises].

Chen Fan let out a soft "hmm," wondering if the name was specifically for practicing eye exercises.

He turned to the first page, glanced at it briefly, and immediately smiled. Just as he had guessed, it was indeed a secret manual specifically for training the eyes.

This does not conflict with the aiming feature; rather, they complement each other, resulting in a synergistic effect where one plus one equals more than two.

"I wonder where Zhao San got this martial art from. And that bottle of Qi and Blood Pills from before—it seems they're not sold in Song Family Fortress. Could they be from Anshan City?"

Chen Fan thought to himself.

If that's the case, then that's good; he now has another place to buy secret manuals and resources.

He put the manual in his pocket and continued his search.

I found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, but that was it.

"It's alright."

Chen Fan comforted himself, after all, he still had several thousand yuan on him, and he had quite a few prey today.

After collecting all the scattered iron arrows, Chen Fan sensed a dangerous aura in the air.

Clearly, some ferocious beasts have already caught the scent and come to investigate.

Chen Fan took a few bows, hoisted a prey onto his shoulder, and headed back the way he came.

These ferocious beasts that arrived were just what they needed to destroy the evidence for him. Even if Zhao Da and the others arrived later, they wouldn't be able to guess who was responsible.

Of course, simply avoiding the opponent is a bad strategy. He is already in the middle stage of body refinement. When he reaches the late stage of flesh refinement, or even the stage of internal energy refinement, he will be able to fight the opponent again.

In the village.

Upon seeing Chen Fan return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But when they saw him put down his prey and carry several bows on his back, they vaguely understood what was going on.

In fact, they had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

Given Zhao San's character, would he honestly cooperate and reveal the whereabouts of Tian Gong and the others? It's obvious that it's almost impossible.

Those people are gone, but if Zhao San's two brothers find out about this, they probably won't let it go easily.

"Xiao Fan, how's it going? Any news about Tian Gong and the others?" Chen Guodong asked in a low voice.

Although we are not worried about anyone in the village leaking the secret, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Liu Yong and others also came to look.

Chen Fan shook his head and didn't say much, only saying, "Only by entering Zhao Family Fortress can we find out about Uncle Wei and the others' situation."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Chen Fan smiled.

Upon hearing this, everyone could only manage a wry smile.

They also witnessed the strength of the martial artists firsthand. Zhao Da seemed to be even more powerful than Xiao Fan, able to kill an armored rhinoceros with a single arrow.

Even with guns in hand, they knew they were no match for the armored rhinoceros.

Hopefully, this matter won't reach the Zhao family's group too soon.

After lunch, Chen Fan quickly took the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills and found Zhang Ren.

"Qi and Blood Pill?"

Zhang Ren looked surprised, took the bottle, and poured out a round, glossy red pill, about the size of his little fingernail.

"Hmm, not bad, it is indeed a Qi and Blood Pill," he nodded, then looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Where did you get it?"

Chen Fan did not hide anything and recounted the cause and effect of the conflict with Zhao San and others.

Zhang Ren frowned. "Did that guy really say that?"

"Well, Uncle Zhang, what do you think is the chance that Uncle Wei and the others are still alive?" Chen Fan couldn't help but ask.

"From your description, the last person doesn't seem to be lying. Moreover, Zhao Family Fortress does indeed make ordinary people build houses and expand the walls until they are completely drained before throwing them out of the fortress to be devoured by ferocious beasts."

"Is it that cruel?"

Chen Fan clenched his fist.

This is utterly ruthless!

"yes."

Zhang Ren sighed, "Tiangong and the others are martial artists. They are stronger and more powerful than ordinary people. If Zhao San and his group deliberately exclude Tiangong and the others, they might actually make them do this kind of work."

"If that's the case, it's still alright."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least they're still alive.

"Um."

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Don't worry about Zhao Da coming to us after he finds out. If he does come, I'd be more than happy to see him."

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

He understood Zhang Ren's meaning, but he did not intend to rely on him, since plans could not keep up with changes.

"Tell me about this Qi and Blood Pill."

Zhang Ren placed the pill in his palm. "This Qi and Blood Pill, as the name suggests, can improve qi and blood, and is suitable for martial artists. The pills in this bottle should be low-grade Qi and Blood Pills, which are specially used by martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm."

"So, there are even superior grades?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.

"certainly."

Without hesitation, Zhang Ren replied, "Besides low-grade Qi and Blood Pills, there are also mid-grade and high-grade Qi and Blood Pills. Mid-grade Qi and Blood Pills are suitable for martial artists at the Body Refining stage, while high-grade Qi and Blood Pills are for martial artists at the Core Formation stage. They are also the most expensive, costing 20,000 yuan each."

"Two, twenty thousand!"

Chen Fan gasped. Did that mean that all the money he had on him now wouldn't even buy half a coin?

"yes."

A bitter smile appeared on Zhang Ren's face. Even back then, he couldn't afford to buy just a few pills a month.

However, to be fair, this superior-grade Qi and Blood Pill is even more effective than high-level ferocious beast meat, and not only that, it is also absorbed much faster.

"Uncle Zhang, what about the mid-grade and low-grade?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

"For mid-grade items, they are much cheaper, costing around 5,000 yuan each. As for low-grade items, they are even cheaper, costing around 1,000 yuan each."

Zhang Ren explained.

"..."

Chen Fan's mouth was slightly open.

If a low-quality piece costs 1,000 yuan, that's barely acceptable.

A mid-grade Qi and Blood Pill costs five thousand each, which is equivalent to the price of several low-level ferocious beasts in exchange for just one.

This price doesn't seem low at all.

Seemingly sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Zhang Ren rarely showed a smile and said, "For people like us, this price is naturally outrageously high, but for some people who live in places like Anshan City, they have long been used to it and even can't live without it."

"Uncle Zhang, why is that?"

Chen Fan asked, puzzled.
