nSuspending Force

nChen Fei was dizzy from reading the secret manual. Many of the words seemed to make sense, but he didn’t know how to start practicing it.

nTwo hours later, Chen Fei put down the secret manual. The only feeling he had was that this secret manual should have something to it. However, if he cultivated according to it, he would probably go berserk.

n“Thunderous Sword Force is being simplified. Simplification was successful. Thunderous Sword Force → Astonishment Formula!”

n“There’s really something here!”

nChen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly. As the contents of the Astonishment Formula appeared in Chen Fei’s mind, he couldn’t help but immerse himself in it. Another hour passed before Chen Fei emerged from his state.

n“It really is a part of the Thunderous Sword Force. I got a bargain this time ”

nChen Fei couldn’t help but grin. If he could successfully comprehend the complete Thunderous Sword Force, not only would his cultivation speed be extremely fast, but his moves would also carry the power of lightning.

nThe Astonishment Formula did not carry the power of lightning, but it inherited the advantage of cultivation speed.

nOf course, because it was only a part of the Thunderous Sword Force, the Astonishment Formula was not without its flaws. If one did not cultivate carefully, it was easy to injure oneself.

nThe Astonishment Formula was an accelerator. If your body could withstand it, the circulation of your blood and qi would become very fast. The original Thunderous Sword Force contained the power of lightning, which could temper the body. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the problem of blood and qi circulating too quickly.

n“Fuse!”

nIn Chen Fei’s mind, the comprehension of the perfected Wind Suspending Breathing Technique and the Astonishment Formula were fused together. A portion of the Wind Suspending Breathing Technique was deleted, and the Astonishment Formula filled the gap.

n“Cultivation Method: Suspending Force (Perfected (1127

/10000)”

nA new cultivation technique appeared on the interface. The Astonishment Formula had contributed a lot to the new cultivation technique, but it was not to the extent of subverting it. Otherwise, the proficiency would not have appeared at its current position.

n“Simplify Suspending Force!”

n“Suspending Force is being simplified. Simplification was successful. Suspending Force → Wind Suspending Breathing Technique!”

nJust as Chen Fei expected, the nesting doll appeared again. Chen Fei circulated the Wind Suspending Breathing Technique, and the experience points of the Suspending Force increased by 1. A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face. The problem with the cultivation technique had been slightly resolved. It was just that the silver taels that he had painstakingly accumulated had been used up again.

nSkin tempering, flesh tempering, bones tempering, marrow tempering, and viscera tempering. These were the five states of Body Tempering. In these five states, even the most mediocre Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique could allow a martial artist’s cultivation to reach the Visceral Tempering state.

nOf course, this rarely happened because the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique’s efficiency was very slow. Even if he died of old age, he probably wouldn’t be able to do it. He could only say that there was a chance, but the chance was slim.

nThus, when a martial artist reached a certain realm, obtaining stronger cultivation techniques was definitely one of the goals. For example, the disciples of large aristocratic families or powerful sects started their cultivation right off with good techniques, so there was naturally no need to worry about getting other techniques.

nOnly someone like Chen Fei, who had no foundation, would need to find an opportunity to exchange for a stronger cultivation technique.

n“The amount of silver needed after fusing is a lot lower. I guess I already know a lot of them. A new simplified version, like Immortal Way, would cost ten times more silver. Knowledge is indeed expensive!” Chen Fei muttered to himself. Then, he sat cross-legged to cultivate. A night passed in the blink of an eye.

nThe next day, Chen Fei refined pills in the medical hall as usual. At night, Chen Fei changed his appearance and appeared in the night market.

nThis time, Chen Fei had a new identity, which was different from the original one. He was so strong that even though he was wearing a mask, the scar at the corner of his eye could be seen.

n“Do you accept medicinal pills?” Chen Fei came to a stall and said in a hoarse voice.

nThat disguise technique was truly miraculous. After Chen Fei had cultivated it to perfection, he could change his appearance and voice at will. Even minor adjustments to his body were not a problem.

nOnce he put on his mask and bamboo hat, he could take on a thousand identities and not have to worry about being recognized.

n“Depends on the appearance of the pill. If the quality is good, we will naturally accept it.”

nThe stall owner glanced at Chen Fei and saw the scar in the corner of Chen Fei’s eye.

n“Here!”

nChen Fei threw out the medicine bottle. After the stall owner caught it, he opened the bottle, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. The Qi Rejuvenation Pill Chen Fei made was close to the consummate level in terms of quality, there was already no flaw to be found.

nIf one looked carefully, one would find that it was even better than the ones sold in the medical centers and medicine shops on the market. Only alchemists who had accumulated experience over many years could refine it.

nAs expected, the stall owner’s eyes lit up when he saw the Qi Rejuvenation Pills in the bottle. After stuffing the cork on the medicine bottle back in, the stall owner raised his head to look at Chen Fei. His voice had already become much gentler.

n“The pills are not bad. If they are all of this quality, I will take as many as you have.”

n“You don’t have to worry about its quality. You can check it every time. Give me a price. If I like it, I can sell all my pills to you,” Chen Fei crossed his arms and said.

n“How many can you produce?”

n“Between ten to twenty pills over three days.”

n“Oh, if it’s this amount, we’ll take it for seven taels per pill.” The stall owner muttered to himself for a moment.

n“Too low!” Chen Fei shook his head.

n“It’s already quite a lot. We’ll take it and still need to sell it. We have to make a profit.” The stall owner insisted.

nChen Fei didn’t say anything and pretended to take away the medicine bottle from the stall as if he didn’t want to continue the discussion.

n“Sigh, don’t worry. We can still negotiate the price.” Stunned, the stall owner hurriedly stopped Chen Fei.

nAfter a while, Chen Fei left the black market having set the price at eight taels. He wasn’t very satisfied, but it was alright. After all, compared to Qingzheng Medical Hall, Chen Fei had already received a lot of money.

nAlchemy, cultivation, and grinding proficiency. Chen Fei’s life seemed to have returned to peace.

nHowever, on the fifth day, Chen Fei saw Physician Qin in the clinic.

nPhysician Qin walked around the clinic a few times before Sun Shu appeared. The two of them chatted for a while, appearing to have an enjoyable exchange. An hour later, Physician Qin left the Northern City Medical Hall.

nChen Fei’s expression didn’t change. He knew that Zhang Sinan was about to make her move. It would probably be an eventful period in the next few days.

nChen Fei thought for a moment and decided not to come to the clinic for the time being. It was a good time to grind the proficiency of the Suspending Force at home. At the same time, he could also take a good look around Pingyin County.

nAfter coming to this world for so long, he had been caught up in trying to make a living and then constantly cultivating. Chen Fei did not know much about this city.

nHis predecessor was a handyman, so he naturally didn’t have much of a chance.

nThe next morning, Chen Fei took sick leave and walked around Pingyin County.

nEating, drinking, and having fun. The silver that Chen Fei had on him now was a huge sum of money to ordinary people. With money, he could naturally have fun and dine however he wanted.

nChen Fei had even entered the bar a few times to listen to music. That feeling was quite pleasant.

nEnjoying the wine in the restaurant and the street food, Chen Fei was like a bird that had escaped from its cage. His entire body and mind had obtained a trace of peace.

n“There are a lot of things going on in Mount Pinyin. Picking herbs have been getting increasingly challenging.”

nIn the black market, Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei and felt that Chen Fei’s condition seemed to have changed a little.

n“Even if it’s not easy to obtain, you can’t give me fake herbs.”

nChen Fei felt a little helpless. The first time, 40% of the herbs were fake. The second time, they were all normal herbs. Good heavens, the third time today, it was actually another batch containing 40% fake herbs.

nThe only difference was that the forgery technique had improved a lot compared to the last time.
