Marrow Cleansing Pill

"I am... "

Just as the word "transmigrated" was about to leave his lips, the Marrow Cleansing Pearl trembled slightly, emitting a white light. It flowed through Yang Heng's meridians from bottom to top, directly into his mind.

A cool sensation washed over his mind, and Yang Heng instantly regained his senses.

This incense is poisonous, it can confuse one's mind.

The smoke once again entered Yang Heng's nostrils, but this time his head no longer felt heavy; it was clear and lucid.

"That was close!" Yang Heng exclaimed, feeling fortunate.

If not for the Marrow Cleansing Pearl suddenly activating and bringing him to his senses in time, he would have revealed everything.

Once they knew he was from another world, they would surely dissect him for research, and the secret of the Marrow Cleansing Pearl would be exposed as well.

However...

The crisis was not yet over. He still needed to answer Shopkeeper Chen's question without letting him know he had woken up.

His mind raced, and Yang Heng thought of a way to answer Shopkeeper Chen's inquiry.

Turn the tables.

The smoke from the incense burner could confuse people's minds. Shopkeeper Chen must have known this for a long time, and this wasn't the first time he had done this.

In this state, whatever the other party said would be the absolute truth, without a single lie, and Shopkeeper Chen would certainly believe it without suspicion.

This way, his story about having the support of a Martial Artist would come in handy.

What might have been full of flaws and omissions when spoken now would be difficult for him to doubt.

"I was passing by the west side of the pharmacy, around a corner, when I met a mysterious person. He claimed to have been indebted to my father in the past and had come to repay me, asking what my wish was."

"I said I didn't want to be treated like an idiot anymore and wished for my body to become strong quickly, so I wouldn't be bullied again."

"After I said that, he took out a pill from a white jade bottle emitting cold air, handed it to me, and said that if I swallowed it, my wish would come true."

"So, I swallowed the pill. As soon as it hit my stomach, I fainted. In a daze, I heard him say he would return in three years to find me. When I woke up, he was already gone."

"And honestly, that pill smelled quite good. I want to eat another one." Yang Heng feigned a look of ecstasy, drool trickling down the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Yang Heng's foolish appearance, Shopkeeper Chen sighed, "Fools have their blessings. Such a fine pill was taken by this silly boy. Alas..."

Shopkeeper Chen was heartbroken, then continued to press, "Do you remember what color the pill was?"

"Huh? Color?!" Yang Heng furrowed his brows, looking like he was trying hard to recall.

"Yes, what color." Shopkeeper Chen showed no suspicion at all, slowly guiding Yang Heng to answer.

He knew well that the confusing incense made people's minds sluggish, and recalling things required more mental effort than usual, needing slow guidance.

After a while, Yang Heng replied:

"White, it felt cool and cold in my palm."

"Are you sure it was white, and that it felt cool and cold?"

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly stood up, leaving his chair. With a flicker of his body, he appeared directly in front of Yang Heng. He grabbed Yang Heng's arm urgently, his eyes filled with excitement, and asked.

Yang Heng was startled when Shopkeeper Chen's plump body suddenly appeared before him, almost revealing his true state, but he managed to hold back.

Is this a Martial Artist?

His speed is incredible, like a phantom. I couldn't react at all.

"Ah!"

Shopkeeper Chen's plump hand, which looked ordinary, possessed surprising strength. The arm he grabbed felt excruciatingly painful, as if his fingers were being clamped by pliers.

Hearing Yang Heng's pained cry, Shopkeeper Chen finally noticed that his right hand was gripping Yang Heng's arm. He quickly let go and continued to press.

"It was indeed white, cool and cold. I won't forget." Yang Heng raised his head and answered affirmatively.

"White, cool and cold, contained in a white jade bottle emitting cold air, with the effect of enhancing wisdom and strengthening the body. Could it be the legendary Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

Shopkeeper Chen was lost in thought, muttering to himself.

"Marrow Cleansing Pill, it must be the Marrow Cleansing Pill!"

"Other pills don't have such great effects. Why didn't I get this pill? Why?"

Shopkeeper Chen became frenzied, staring coldly at Yang Heng, wishing he could devour him alive.

If it were the day Yang Heng had just swallowed the pill, he would have done so without hesitation, but now it was too late.

"Alas, fools have their blessings."

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head and sighed again.

He had initially thought Yang Heng had obtained some treasure, but who would have expected it to be a mysterious Martial Artist repaying a debt of gratitude.

The strength and cultivation of that Martial Artist must be extraordinary, to be able to produce a rare pill like the Marrow Cleansing Pill and give it away to a fool without hesitation.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a dream and a fervent desire for Martial Artists in the Body Tempering Realm. Its medicinal effects are different from ordinary pills that solidify the foundation and increase cultivation.

Its primary function is to cleanse the marrow and scour the bones, enhancing the cultivation talent of a martial artist.

It is hailed as the foremost Divine Pill of the Body Tempering Realm.

A person's cultivation talent is innate, but the Marrow Cleansing Pill can improve one's cultivation talent after birth, so one can imagine how precious it is.

Someone with dull talent who takes a Marrow Cleansing Pill will immediately have different aptitude, comparable to someone with upper-middle cultivation talent.

For a Martial Artist with some talent who takes this medicine, they will be even more extraordinary. Once the medicinal effects are fully absorbed by the body, they can be called a martial arts prodigy.

The original martial arts bottleneck is broken, and the subsequent martial path, while not necessarily smooth sailing, will be faster, easier, and farther than before.

Although this pill is good, one can only take one in a lifetime. Taking more will have no effect, and it must be taken within the Body Tempering Realm.

After breaking through the Body Tempering Realm, taking this medicine will greatly weaken its effects, and it will no longer have the function of improving talent.

Shopkeeper Chen lamented and was heartbroken, thinking that a Divine Pill was wasted on a fool.

Alas...

After a while, Shopkeeper Chen collected his emotions, calmed down, and considered how to deal with Yang Heng.

Previously, his idea was to snatch the fortuitous encounter he obtained and kill him.

But now, the fortuitous encounter has already been consumed by Yang Heng, and there is a mysterious and powerful Martial Artist behind him. Killing him is impossible. He can only pretend that this matter never happened and everything remains as it was.

Anyway, he inhaled the soul-stirring incense, and when he wakes up, he won't remember what just happened. He can just fool him casually and it will pass.

As for teaching him martial arts and taking him as a disciple, he originally had this idea, thinking that since he took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his cultivation talent should be good.

But after examining his bones, his desire to take him as a disciple gradually faded.

Even after taking the extremely precious Marrow Cleansing Pill, he still only has lower-grade bone structure, inferior talent, and is incapable of great achievements. He will not achieve much in martial arts in the future.

And this is the result after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

If he hadn't taken this pill, he probably wouldn't have had any cultivation talent at all.

Truly a waste, a fool!

Upon discovering this result, Shopkeeper Chen was furious and filled with resentment towards Yang Heng.

If he had good cultivation talent after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he could have nurtured him and discovered a good seedling for the pharmacy, which would have been a contribution.

But...

He was so angry he didn't want to speak. In recent years, he had never encountered such a troublesome matter as today.

It's truly a flower adorning cow dung.

He didn't want to see Yang Heng anymore.

He opened the window, and the disorienting smoke was blown away by the wind.

Not long after, Yang Heng "woke up," his face blank, completely unaware of what had happened, staring blankly ahead.
