Body Strengthening Pill!

編輯: Atlas Studios

"This is Heiye City? It's indeed not something a small place like Qingshui Town can compare to!"

At the city gate, Su Jie looked at the huge city wall that was 20 to 30 feet tall as well as the armored guards holding weapons at the city gate. He sighed.

Qingshui Town was just an ordinary town, common in the countryside. In comparison, Heiye City was a large city that spanned thousands of kilometers. Its prosperity was undoubtedly a hundred or a thousand times greater than that of Qingshui Town's!

Once Su Jie entered Heiye City. It was already nighttime. Regardless, Heiye City was bustling and brightly lit at night.

"Let's find an inn to rest for the night first. Tomorrow, I'll find out the places that sell the pills used by martial artists."

Su Jie decided to rest first.

He stayed at an inn in Heiye City.

The next morning, Su Jie ate in the main hall of the inn and asked the waiter: "Do you know if a martial artist wanted to buy medicinal pills, weapons, and so on, where can he buy them in Heiye City?"

The waiter smiled when he heard that and replied: "Sir, that would be at the Superstore Building. This Superstore Building was set up by the Wan family, one of the six great families of the Great Xia Dynasty. They have Superstore Buildings everywhere in the Great Xia Dynasty. You can buy anything there, from weapons to pills. There's one Superstore Building in our Heiye City. You can go there to take a look."

"Thank you for telling me," Su Jie replied with a nod.

"Wan family, one of the six great families? It sounds like they are very important."

Su Jie was also looking forward to visiting the Superstore Building.

After breakfast, Su Jie asked around along the way and soon arrived outside the Superstore Building in Heiye City.

The Superstore Building was decorated magnificently, like a huge shop. People came and went, and it was very lively. Many people were martial artists with weapons on their waists.

Su Jie collected and walked in.

Inside, there were many armed guards patrolling. Many of them were martial artists. Thus, few people dared to cause trouble here.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

As soon as Su Jie entered the Superstore Building, a smart young man in a uniform quickly greeted him and asked respectfully.

"I need to buy medicinal pills to replenish my energy when practicing martial arts."

Su Jie pondered for a moment before telling the young man his needs.

"Sir, then I recommend the Body Strengthening Pill refined by our building's alchemy master. This pill can replenish the attrition caused by a martial artist's cultivation. One Body Strengthening Pill is enough for a martial artist to cultivate for five days!"

The young man immediately recommended to Su Jie.

"One Body Strengthening Pill is enough to sustain a martial artist for five days? What's the price?"

Su Jie's eyes lit up.

The young man said, "Ten Body Strengthening Pills per bottle. They're not sold alone. Each bottle is worth 50 taels of silver."

"Fifty taels per bottle?"

Even though he was prepared, Su Jie's mouth still twitched slightly at the knowledge of the price.

50 taels of silver was too expensive! This was not something an ordinary family could afford!

The saying that poor people studied while the rich trained in martial arts was not entirely untrue.

The young man explained to Su Jie, "This Body Strengthening Pill is refined from precious herbs. It's already considered cheap… In the entire Heiye City, only our alchemists have the ability to refine this pill!"

It's not available anywhere else!

Su Jie thought for a moment before finally saying: "Then give me two bottles."

Su Wu worked in the Divine Constable Bureau and was out all year round but he has never mistreated Su Jie. He would send back a lot of money every month. Over the years, discounting his living expenses, Su Jie had accumulated about 200 taels of silver.

Su Jie decided to buy two bottles first and test the effect. He took out a hundred taels of silver and placed it on the table.

If one Body Strengthening Pill was enough for a martial artist for five days. Two bottles, which meant 20 pills, would be enough for more than three months.

"Okay, please wait a moment!

The young man nodded repeatedly and took down two beautifully designed porcelain bottles from a shelf and handed them to Su Jie.

Su Jie opened one of the bottles. He could smell the medicinal fragrance coming from the porcelain bottle, making him salivate.

"Sir, take care and come back again!"

Su Jie put away the two bottles of Body Strengthening Pills and left the Superstore Building after the young man saw him off.

"Home."

After strolling aimlessly around Heiye City for a while, Su Jie felt a little bored after the initial novelty passed, so he set off to go back to Qingshui Town.

Three days later, Su Jie rode back to the Su Residence in Qingshui Town.

In the Su residence, everything was normal.

"Let's try this Body Strengthening Pill."

After returning to the Su Residence, Su Jie began to practice martial arts. He took out a Body Strengthening Pill and swallowed it before cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist.

Every punch and move was powerful. The power emitted from Su Jie's body was breathtaking!

As he cultivated, the Body Strengthening Pill in his stomach gradually digested and transformed into medicinal strength, replenishing Su Jie and nourishing his muscles and bones!

"This Body Strengthening Pill may be expensive but its medicinal effect is indeed strong enough!"

Su Jie was delighted.

At Su Jie's current level, ordinary fish and meat could not replenish him at all unless he had the strong digestive ability of the ape avatar and could eat more than 100 pounds of meat a day and digest it.

This Body Strengthening Pill could indeed replenish Su Jie and support his Ape Demon King Kong Fist to temper his body and reach an even higher realm!

After cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist over and over again, Su Jie's tendons and bones trembled. A warm current constantly flowed through his body, making him stronger.

"The effect of the Body Strengthening Pill has been exhausted?" Su Jie frowned as, in less than two days, the effect of the Body Strengthening Pill he had taken had been completely consumed.

According to the staff of the Superstore Building, one Body Strengthening Pill was enough for a martial artist for five days. The other party should not be lying but he was probably referring to ordinary martial artists. As a first-rate martial artist, whose Ape Demon King Kong Fist was on the third level, the attrition incurred by him was way higher than that of an ordinary martial artist.

One Body Strengthening Pill may be enough to support an ordinary martial artist for five days but to Su Jie, it was only enough for less than two days!

Moreover, it was probable that as Su Jie's body became stronger and stronger, the attrition incurred would increase. In the end, one Body Strengthening Pill might not even be enough for him for a day!

Su Jie felt great stress. No wonder there were so few powerful martial artists. The resources consumed were too huge!

Of course, it was also because Su Jie cultivated the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, a body-tempering fist technique. If he cultivated inner strength, his situation would be better.

Although the attrition incurred was huge, the medicinal effect of the Body Strengthening Pill was indeed quite good, as it allowed Su Jie's Ape Demon King Kong Fist to improve steadily!

In the blink of an eye, thirty to forty days had passed.

Ape Demon King Kong Fist (Compatibility: 55%. Cultivation Progress: 11%, Third Level)

Su Jie opened the system interface and checked the cultivation progress of the Ape Demon King Kong Fist. In more than a month, his cultivation progress had increased by 10%!

"My strength has increased by almost 100 pounds… It seems that when I cultivate the Ape Demon King Kong Fist to the peak of the third level, I will have 2,000 pounds of divine power in one arm!"

Su Jie clenched his fists in satisfaction.

It was known that when one's physical body reached a certain level, it became extremely difficult to increase it further. His improvement could be said to be lightning fast!
