Fang Zheng hugged the bunch of medicine he bought.
He did not stop at all from the Hall of Four Season Pharmacy to his house.
Then, he took out the Human Skin Scripture.
Looking at the three lonely runes on the Human Skin Scripture shining like stars, Fang Zheng endured the pain and prepared to carry out the strengthening once more.
This so-called savings can only be used and not saved, and using it meant that he would be unable to make ends meet.
Moving on to the next step, Fang Zheng—who had difficulty in making choices—looked at the dozen blood restoring medicines in front of him and felt his head hurt.
Reading the instructions cautiously, the efficacy column showed all the blood restoring effects so it was hard to choose in a short period of time.
[Donkey-hide Gelatin Blood Restoring Pellets]

Main effects: Improve Qi and blood, adjust the menstruation cycle and stop leukorrhea. Used for lack of both Qi and blood, weak body and lack of energy, pain in waist and legs. Note: patients with a high flow of period are unsuitable to use this product.
Fang Zheng’s face turned dark immediately.
Although he knew about these medicines and the effects, it was another matter when looking at it in black and white with his own eyes.
‘What the f*ck does adjusting the menstruation cycle mean…’
‘What the f*ck is patient with a high flow of period and unsuitable menstrual cycle…’
‘As a man, do I need this function?’
Fang Zheng felt tears trickle down his face just from thinking about it.
Awkwardly, Fang Zheng took up his phone and searched online [Tears, Donkey-hide Gelatin, Donkey Gelatin, Can men eat them?]
The results from the search showed that the first person who started eating Donkey-hide Gelatin was a man.
It was the same as asking if men could wear skirts, and then found out that the answer was men had been wearing skirts earlier than women; that men started wearing skirts in the Shang Dynasty1, and women only started wearing them in the Han Dynasty2. It was the same feeling.
From the results of the online search, the first man who dared to eat Donkey-hide Gelatin was the son of Cao Cao1, Cao Zhi2.
Cao Zhi had a weak body and was always sick ever since he was young. He was skinny and had a pale face. In later days, he was given the position of The Lord of Dong-E. After reaching Dong-E1, he frequently consumed Donkey-hide Gelatin. Within six months, his complexion improved and became radiant.
The search results also showed that Donkey-hide Gelatin and Donkey Gelatin had a Yin nourishing and kidney improving function. After men consumed it, the quality of that and that1 could also be improved, consolidating the fundamental body needs.
Tsk!
How horrible was that?
Nourishing the Yin, improving kidney function, and mediating Yin Yang—it was simply a magical medicine that could do everything and cure all diseases. Fang Zheng took a deep breath.
Finally, looking at the lump of sticky and black Donkey-hide Gelatin in the bowl, Fang Zheng frowned in distress. He still felt a grudge in his heart.
Men drinking Donkey-hide Gelatin?
‘Let them laugh all they like! For the great cause of training, and to break through the bottleneck, I’m going to be shameless!’
‘When life gives you a big responsibility, it will first test your resolution!’
‘Finish this bowl of Donkey-hide Gelatin solution, improve body balance, and prevent coughing!’
‘Strengthening!!’
Five seconds… Ten seconds… 15 seconds passed… The bowl of Donkey-hide solution did not cause any changes in him
‘Did the strengthening fail?’
‘The Human Skin Scriptures can’t strengthen medicine?’
Fang Zheng promptly checked the Human Skin Scriptures, and indeed only two of the three shining runes were left. Had it been strengthened!?
Suddenly…
An extremely intense bittersweet smell of medicine—like an explosion of a lake—mixed with the moving air and spilled out. Fang Zheng, who was close by, flared his nose and breathed in the smell of the medicine. He immediately felt a whirl of heat circulating his body, energizing him. The vitality of his body increased but was immediately absorbed by the hungry cells in his body.
Fang Zheng was delighted and drank the solution in one mouthful.
In order to not waste the medicine, he rinsed and drank the bowl of water several times.
BOOM!
Qi and blood increased rapidly, causing his body to be at the brink of explosion. Fang Zheng was experiencing a storm in his organs, and the breaths he took were full of boiling Qi and blood. He could feel the heat of his breath on his face.
This was bad. Too much Qi and blood!
It was increasing rapidly out of his control!
Fang Zheng felt his body expanding uncontrollably like a balloon. The bones and flesh of his body gave off sounds of being squeezed by the expanding Qi and blood in his veins.
Fang Zheng immediately started his training on the Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal.
Training over and over again.
Overnight.
Fang Zheng trained the entire night but the Qi and blood in his body were still elevated. He was like a drunk man experiencing Qi and blood rushing to his head—drunk on oxygen perhaps?
It was because of the oxygen content in the blood. His bio-energy was too high thus causing his body to be full of vitality.
Suddenly!
A breath of extreme heat came out from Fang Zheng’s body, like a furnace burning in extreme fire. At the same time, the Qi and blood in Fang Zheng’s body were like waves hitting the shore, welcoming the vigorous rising sun. He broke through his training bottleneck!
Fang Zheng did not relax and continued his training all the way till noon.
He then changed to training the Golden Immune Arhat.
BOOM!
Fang Zheng just started his first pose out of 306 poses, and his body made of blood and flesh made a sound akin to a bomb hitting the ground.
The majestic Qi and blood in his body easily tore through the bottleneck, and at that moment, all the bones in his body hurt.
It was the sign that the Golden Immune Arhat had reached its last stage, and was training the bones to be like steel and changing the blood to improve the quality of the body. At this step, the blood was changed nine times and then the training would be completed.
Three hours in the afternoon had passed.
Fang Zheng was delighted to find that the disturbing feeling of extreme hunger did not appear.
He laughed happily.
God knows what kind of torture he had been through the past few days. He was hungry everyday till his stomach hurt, and all the cells in his body were in a state of famine.
Soon Fang Zheng started worrying again.
The price was too high.
One strand of Gray Qi can only be exchanged for this effect once.
Gray Qi was so valuable and hard to come by.
Fang Zheng felt his hair turning gray worrying about this matter. His training was inseparable from the mysterious Gray Strands Qi and it was so rare and hard to come by.
It all came down to being poor! Being POOR! BEING POOR!
Two days after that.
Fang Zheng did not leave his house and trained wholeheartedly.
Two days.
The remaining two runes were used to enhance the medicine, increasing his Qi and blood, and assisting his training.
The results were huge seeing that so many resources were invested.
The Golden Immune Arhat, succeeded in blood changing nine times; completed.
Exorcist Golden Warrior Seal, succeeded in the final level; completed.
The Maha Golden Immunity Shield, entered level ten; not far from completion.
Fang Zheng felt his life was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This was what they called the accomplishment of divine power, right?
Although he still felt heartbroken about the three runes…
He was back to having zero saving again!!
