After the pill was digested, Si Xu could clearly feel the abundant power in the Dantian. More importantly, his body's strength had increased slightly.
For Qi-Jin martial artists, a weak physique was a flaw that was hard to make up for. The most effective way was to use a defensive treasure armor, but such things could only be found and not sought. Most of them could only block attacks once or twice, so it wasn't a long-term solution.
If they spent a lot of time tempering their bodies like Inner Force martial artists, it would be easy to neglect the essentials. Therefore, most martial artists would choose to take body-tempering elixirs to improve their physique. As mentioned before, this type of elixir had not been perfected yet, and it had side effects that were hard to ignore. Even a powerful martial artist would usually take one elixir every one or two months. After a long time, they would see a more obvious effect.
But the Spirit Condensing Pill that I refined had the effect of body tempering without any side effects. This was also the main reason why the young talents of Medicine King Valley were so excited after tasting it.
Not long after, I retracted my Qi-Jin. Si Xu looked at me in confusion, "Big Brother, why are you doing this to me?"
"If you have to have a reason for everything you do, how tiring would it be?"
I was slightly stunned, and said in a bad mood. Don't think that I casually gave out a priceless pill. To me, I only needed to spend some time to make it. In Si Xu's eyes, it had a different meaning.
He was momentarily speechless, and braced himself to suggest, "Big Brother, can I go and train now?"
"Of course you can." Seeing his impatient look, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This was because he had absorbed an astonishing amount of energy in a short period of time. Training as fast as possible would allow him to better adapt and convert it into his own strength.
"Big Brother, do I have to go to the place you arranged for me to train?" Si Xu asked curiously.
"No need. You can go back to your own place." I shook my head.
"Eh, aren't you afraid that I'll run away?" Si Xu scratched his head, and said awkwardly.
"What's there to be afraid of?
Life is a huge casino, and the future is unpredictable. Actually, no matter what you do, there's an element of gambling. I believe in my own intuition and judgement. If you run away, I won't look for you. I'll just treat it as a loss. "I shrugged, and said in a carefree manner.
Si Xu took a deep look at me. My magnanimity made him respect me.
"Big Brother, I won't let you down!" Si Xu's face was full of fighting spirit.
"Right, if you don't mind, you can join the Guowei Dojo. Although they are all internal strength martial artists, your aptitude is not bad. Maybe you can handle two types of power at the same time." I patted his shoulder.
"Ah … I'll think about it. I'm used to being alone and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt." Si Xu was flattered.
"En, it's up to you. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first," I said.
"Wait a minute, Big Brother. Let me scan your WeChat so that we can keep in touch."
Si Xu called out to me. The feeling of being completely trusted was something he had never felt before. The haze that had accumulated in his heart for a long time gradually dissipated.
Then, I went to pay the bill, but the girl at the front desk refused to accept it no matter what. She said that the boss had repeatedly told her not to accept my money, or else he would fire her. It made me feel helpless.
After leaving the bar, I called Guan Ruolan. Only then did I know that the Guan family's group, including Elder Guan's body, had been moved to the Guan family's old house. It could be considered as the fallen leaves returning to their roots. They had already eaten.
Since all kinds of distant relatives and friends had rushed to the old house, although I was Guan Ruolan's real boyfriend, according to her family's customs, it was not convenient for me to be there before I got married. Moreover, Guan Ruolan was also worried that after her seven aunts and eight aunts found out about my true identity, they would crowd around me and ask for the supreme Black Mud Mask. After all, the popularity of this thing had reached the point where it was hard to get a bottle.
Moreover, some rich and beautiful women had posted on online forums, saying that as long as they wanted a small sample, they would be willing to work hard for a whole night. They even attached sexy photos of themselves. Although the Black Mud Mask had become more popular, it had a bad influence on society. Even Liu Yuhan had talked to me about this problem. It was a personal problem, and I couldn't change it. I just asked Liu Yuhan to add a line of words in the advertisement section, asking people to spend rationally.
I had to admit that Guan Ruolan had thought it through. If the relatives and friends of the Guan family came to me for the supreme Black Mud Mask, with my personality, I would make eight or ten bottles of it. That way, those relatives and friends would be happy, but it would bring a lot of trouble later on.
I guessed they would want to sell it and become nouveau riche. It wasn't a good thing.
I was happy to have some free time. I checked my Moments and saw Hsieh Shih-chi's status update. It seemed she had been in Beijing recently. On one hand, she had to accept endorsements, shoot advertisements, and on the other hand, she had to prepare for her new TV series.
I had almost forgotten that I was the male lead of the new TV series. Hsieh Shih-chi had told me that I had to prepare for at least half a month to twenty days. Even if I had to use a body double, it couldn't be less than ten days. Otherwise, it would affect the continuity of the plot.
It was a problem. If I couldn't do it, I would have to shoot a part of it first and leave the rest for next year. No matter what, I was the biggest investor.
