CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 44: DRAGON PILL

Jiang Ye was naturally unaware of the covert attention from the top beauty of the grade.

At this moment, Jiang Ye was completely immersed in his own cultivation.

"The Star Martial Advancement Technique is the advanced version of the Star Martial Cultivation Technique."

"The cultivation routes of both have similarities."

"But when cultivating, the feel is completely different."

Jiang Ye carefully contemplated.

Cultivation Technique and Advanced Technique have significant differences in cultivation.

The former’s aura is gentle, permeating the meridians like spring water.

However, when the Advanced Technique is performed, it’s like surging tsunamis, with a formidable Qi Force sweeping through the body, causing every acupoint to tremble.

Just within a short period.

Jiang Ye already grasped many profound insights.

These insights help him deeply understand the "Star Martial Advancement Technique", thereby accelerating his cultivation.

In the past, it would have been impossible for him to grasp so much so quickly.

But now, having an Upper A Mortal Body grants him powerful cultivation capability.

Jiang Ye focused on his cultivation.

Unknowingly, several hours had passed.

"Ding ding ding!"

The dismissal bell rang.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, ending the cultivation for the Martial Arts class.

He glanced at the panel.

[Cultivation Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Technique: Perfection

Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Entry (98%)

Star Martial Advancement Technique: Not Entered (10%)

"Improved by 10%."

Jiang Ye showed a slight smile.

He indeed felt the difficulty of this Star Martial Advancement Technique.

Yellow Tier Upper Level, the difficulty is far greater than Yellow Tier Middle-Level.

If he still had B Level physique before, he might only have improved by two or three percent in these few hours.

But now? It’s completely different.

Just when Jiang Ye was contemplating, suddenly.

A pair of snowy long legs appeared in front of him.

Since Jiang Ye was sitting cross-legged, looking up now, he was a bit caught off guard.

He coughed, quickly stood up, and said, "Class monitor, what’s the matter?"

The E-level girl tossed him a bottle of potion and said indifferently, "If you buy medicine in the future, find me, it’s just a thousand yuan."

Jiang Ye looked down.

"Dragon Pill?" He was surprised.

Dragon Pill, outside it sells for three thousand yuan a bottle.

From Zhao Qingli, it’s only a thousand yuan?

"The class monitor’s family must be in the drug business, no wonder she’s so wealthy," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

But soon.

He awkwardly smiled at the girl, saying, "Class monitor, I don’t have money."

Zhao Qingli frowned slightly, examining him closely: "Not even a thousand yuan?"

"No," Jiang Ye replied honestly.

He actually had no money left.

The bonus he earned earlier had long been spent completely.

Zhao Qingli didn’t mind, and said indifferently: "If you don’t have money, go to the task board on the blackboard and take a task. You’ve already perfected the Cultivation Technique, you can’t go without medicine."

Jiang Ye’s heart was slightly moved upon hearing this.

He looked at the girl and asked, "After perfecting the Cultivation Technique, must I take medicine?"

Zhao Qingli gave him a curious glance.

"Without taking medicine, do you want to rely solely on yourself for cultivation? Cultivating for years might not break through the First Break."

Jiang Ye nodded, then asked: "Another question, do medicines have side effects? Will they affect subsequent cultivation?"

Zhao Qingli looked at him strangely again.

"I say, you, this guy, look so good, how come you ask such... the girl suddenly tilted her head: "Idiot?"

"..."

No, is there a relationship between these two?

Jiang Ye coughed, lightly sighed, "No choice, coming from a humble background, lacking knowledge, hoping the beautiful class monitor would enlighten."

Zhao Qingli’s face slightly reddened from hearing this.

But soon returned to normal, she said calmly: "It’s nothing much, you’ve perfected the Cultivation Technique, taking medicine basically has no side effects."

"Just ensure you don’t exceed five times a week."

"Thank you, class monitor," Jiang Ye smiled.

Zhao Qingli nodded, glanced at the medicine bottle in Jiang Ye’s hand: "This bottle is a gift to you."

Jiang Ye shook his head: "No need, I’ll come to buy it from you when I earn money."

As the saying goes, it’s easy to repay money debt, but hard to repay emotional debt.

He didn’t want to owe people favors everywhere.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingli, upon hearing this, proudly said: "I said it’s a gift, so it’s a gift, I don’t want you to repay."

"..."

"Then, thank you, class monitor." Jiang Ye had no choice but to say.

Zhao Qingli snorted lightly, cold and proud, turned and left with her snowy long legs.

Before she walked far, Wang Ziang suddenly came over, whispered, "Beautiful class monitor, give me a few bottles too, I have no money."

Zhao Qingli’s expression turned cold, her lips slightly parted: "Scram!"

"Damn it!"

Wang Ziang looked at the tall figure walking away alone, a face full of discontent: "Why doesn’t it work when it comes to me?!"

"Hey, Brother Wang."

Jiang Ye walked over and whispered, "Maybe it depends on the looks."

"Kid, are you looking for a beating?" Wang Ziang clenched his fist, his smile gradually twisting.

...

Moments later, Jiang Ye arrived at the task board on the classroom blackboard.

At this time, the electronic board was refreshing with tasks one after another.

These were never seen in the regular class.

Only the advanced class, having time between their cultivation, could spare time to do tasks to earn money.

Jiang Ye looked at the task board.

[Temporary Coach at Black Eagle Martial Arts Hall: 200 yuan a day, settled weekly.]

[Honorary Spokesperson for Daylight Martial Arts Hall: 8000 yuan per month, requires top ten in grade.]

[Capture wanted criminals, bounty ranging from ten thousand to thirty thousand yuan, danger level: ☆☆☆]

...

Jiang Ye looked for a while but didn’t find a task suitable for him.

For example, the temporary coach requires at least one week of commitment.

During that week, he would basically be unable to cultivate.

Other tasks either require grade rankings or have very high levels of danger.

Like the task of capturing wanted criminals, the bounty ranging from one to three ten thousand yuan made him tempted, but the three bright red stars made Jiang Ye wary.

He was indeed short on money, but he also feared losing his life.

Beside him, Wang Ziang said, "Recently, there aren’t any good tasks to take, all are low pay and high work."

"It’ll be better to choose a task once you’ve got some strength with the Entry of the Advanced Technique."

"Entry?" Jiang Ye nodded.

Wang Ziang laughed, "No need to rush, once there’s a team task refreshed, call me, with me around, we’ll pass with ease."

He stood with hands behind his back, looking every bit the master.

Jiang Ye was speechless, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Though it sounded pretentious, one can’t deny that Wang Ziang, now nearly approaching 700-point strength, was indeed strong!

If teaming up with him for tasks, the difficulty would indeed be greatly reduced.

"Brother Wang, I’m heading back first." Jiang Ye said as it was getting late.

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Wang Ziang nodded.

...

Back home, the first thing Jiang Ye did was take out the potion Zhao Qingli gave him.

"Dragon Pill."

Jiang Ye looked at the medicine bottle in his hand.

The bottle was made of high-strength nano crystals, its surface covered with honeycomb-like fine engravings, feeling rather uneven to the touch.

He took out the accompanying syringe and drew out the potion from the bottle.

He had long been taught how to administer it in class.

"Puff!"

Jiang Ye injected the needle into his arm and slowly pushed the colorless potion in.

After waiting for a moment.

A feeling of heat rose up.

Jiang Ye knew this was the start of the potion taking effect.

"Cultivation."

Jiang Ye immediately sat cross-legged and began to operate the "Star Martial Advancement Technique."

Using the cultivation route, he transported the potion throughout his body’s meridians to refine it.

A tingling sensation immediately emerged.

This indicated that all of Jiang Ye’s cells were undergoing transformation under the penetration of the potion.

Time passed.

An hour flew by.

"Swoosh~"

Jiang Ye opened his eyes, having refined most of the potion.

"My strength..."

He clenched his fist, feeling a powerful force like waves crashing against the shore.

How strong is this?

Looking at the panel.

Star Martial Advancement Technique: Not Entered (10%→25%)

"Improved this much?!" Jiang Ye was shocked.

It had only been an hour, and he only refined most of the potion.

Yet there were still residues in his body that he would benefit from for the next 24 hours.

"No wonder it’s called the Dragon Pill."

"With my current physique, a single bottle can boost me by 20%, maybe even 30%!"

Jiang Ye knew very well that with an Upper A physique, absorption of the potion was also better.

A single bottle.

Could equate to two, even three or four of an average person.

Of course, he also knew it was partly because it was his first time taking the potion.

The body would develop resistance to medication.

The more times he took it, the weaker the improvement would become later on.

But compared to not taking it, it definitely was much faster.

"Currently, it seems that taking the potion indeed has no side effects, but to be safe, I should still take it sparingly."

Jiang Ye silently closed his eyes: "Before the Starry Sky Refinement, the Entry of the Advanced Technique should be stable."
