Medicinal Power

"The experience from Mo Pi Fa and saber technique skills are separate."

Chen Mu looked at the changed system interface, revealing a thoughtful expression. Previously, his Whirlwind Saber Technique and Fierce Wind Saber Technique shared experience, but Mo Pi Fa did not.

But on second thought, it wasn't surprising. Mo Pi Fa and saber techniques were indeed unrelated. Perhaps only those of the same type could share experience, while Mo Pi Fa, compared to saber techniques, belonged to a completely different category.

Moreover.

The experience gain of Mo Pi Fa also surprised Chen Mu, because the time he spent practicing this time, no matter how he calculated it, did not exceed an hour, but the experience points he gained were as many as 11 points.

And to upgrade Mo Pi Fa to Minor Accomplishment, it only required 100 experience points!

This meant that if he practiced once each in the morning and evening, it would only take five days to upgrade Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa to Minor Accomplishment!

"Mo Pi Fa is indeed different from saber techniques. The entire practice process purely relies on medicinal powder for internal and external tempering. The accumulated experience points may come from the Medicinal Power of those medicinal soups..."

Chen Mu suddenly realized something.

Normally speaking, even a person with top-notch aptitude and perfect adaptability could not absorb all the Medicinal Power cleanly and perfectly exert every bit of Medicinal Power when practicing Mo Pi Fa.

But if the system could ignore this concept and directly convert all the Medicinal Power he endured in this process into something called 'experience' and accumulate it, then it would be very reasonable.

As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison.

Ordinary people can probably only absorb one-tenth of the Medicinal Power from the internal and external medicinal powders, and his kind with medium-to-high aptitude can probably only absorb two or three tenths.

And these two or three tenths of Medicinal Power are also affected by the body's adaptability, exerting different effects depending on the level of adaptability. Ordinary adaptability can probably only use one or two tenths of the Medicinal Power on 'Mo Pi', and the rest will be metabolized by the body, having no effect.

Therefore, the process of Mo Pi is quite long for ordinary people, and the saying of three years of Mo Pi is not an exaggeration.

But if the system panel can directly extract Medicinal Power and turn it into experience points, then it undoubtedly achieves 100% absorption of Medicinal Power and 100% adaptability.

Perhaps in the entire Great Xuan Dynasty, with its hundreds of millions of people, there is no such outrageous physique, but he can achieve such an effect with the system panel.

"Very good."

Chen Mu smiled.

He was previously worried that Mo Pi Fa was completely different from saber technique skills, and whether the system panel could take effect on it. If it was ineffective, then he could only rely on the system panel to master various profound saber technique skills to improve his strength. Mo Pi Fa and even the subsequent Lian Rou would have to be done step by step, but now it is much better.

Moreover, according to reason, this is not considered cheating, after all, every bit of improvement in realm comes from real 'Medicinal Power', not obtained out of thin air, and even these 'Medicinal Power' are bought with the silver he earned himself.

Like saber technique skills, they are all hard-earned.

Chen Mu was naturally very calm.

Four short days passed quickly.

In these four days, apart from some local gentry visiting and Butcher Zhang coming to 'reminisce', everything was calm. Chen Mu still went to the City Guard as usual every day, but as a Yamen Runner Captain, he didn't need to take a badge anymore, and even not going to the City Guard was fine, it was just a nominal position.

Chen Mu accepted all the gifts from the gentry congratulating him on his move without exception. Since he knew that his experience in practicing internal Lian Rou Technique was related to 'Medicinal Power', and Medicinal Power was directly linked to financial resources, he naturally accepted all silver that came his way.

As for whether accepting silver would have any impact, he didn't care much.

He is no longer a low-level Yamen Runner.

He is one of the five serving Yamen Runner Captains of the City Guard, a direct subordinate taken care of by Min Baoyi. Even if he accepts the silver from those gentry, if there is any trouble in the future, he can calmly choose whether to take care of it or not depending on the severity of the matter.

Then there was Butcher Zhang, his uncle from his mother's side, who hadn't visited in years. Compared to Chen Mu's distant memories, he was much more polite, even speaking in a lower voice, appearing somewhat cautious. This made Chen Mu sigh at the fickleness of human relationships. When his father died, Butcher Zhang had only made a token appearance.

Now, he was trying every means to curry favor with this relative.

"Let's talk about You Ying's matter when we have time."

Regarding Butcher Zhang's repeated mention of Zhang Youying, Chen Mu simply replied indifferently.

He really didn't have the mind for such things right now. His energy was focused on cultivation. If his physical strength could handle it, and he wasn't limited to 'Mo Pi' twice a day, morning and evening, he would even consider doing it more often.

He spent the rest of his time practicing his saber techniques, planning to quickly raise the Fierce Wind Saber Technique to perfection, master the second Saber Intent, and further enhance his strength.

Sensing Chen Mu's lack of interest, Butcher Zhang tactfully changed the subject. After saying a few more things, he and Chen Hong rose to bid farewell to Chen Mu, who, along with Chen Yue, escorted them to the door.

After leaving Chen Mu's house.

On the way back, Butcher Zhang carefully instructed Chen Hong to carefully manage this relationship between aunt and nephew. Now that Chen Mu had become successful, he might be able to help their family with a single word in the future, so they must not offend him.

Chen Mu didn't watch Butcher Zhang and Chen Hong leave. After seeing them out, he returned to the backyard to boil water and prepare medicine.

It was the same Mo Pi process.

After five days of Mo Pi, he could still feel some changes. First, his skin seemed to have become tougher. The pain from touching rough stones and friction was noticeably reduced.

Secondly, inside his body, it felt like there was a faint fire, making him feel stronger when exerting force. According to what the Mo Pi Fa said, this was the condensed Qi and blood resulting from the body tempering method.

"Huff..."

Climbing out of the sandpit.

Chen Mu sat beside the sandpit, his limbs feeling weak, and took a short breath.

Compared to his first cultivation session, when he could barely walk after completing the Mo Pi, he was much better now. Although his whole body still felt weak, he could barely move without Chen Yue's help.

"Just five days of cultivation, and there are already effects. If I reach minor success..."

Chen Mu murmured.

Then he summoned the system interface.

[Gold Jade Mo Pi Fa (Incomplete)]
[Experience: 108]

On the system interface, under the Mo Pi Fa column, the experience had accumulated to 108 points, enough to be upgraded to 'minor success'.
