n10 minutes later, Chen Yiming and Wu Susu came out of the laboratory building. He was carrying a special box that was silver in color and had a high-tech lock. There were 500 tubes of the miracle blood in it.

nAt the same time, he took in Wu Susu’s expression from the corner of his eye.

nWhen institute head Wu’s daughter heard him say that he would take 500 tubes from the secret underground chamber, her cold expression finally changed. In an instant, her expression froze.

n500 tubes were about half a month’s production. He had almost wiped out the entire stock of miracle blood in the secret underground chamber.

nThis gap not only caused many research projects to stagnate, but also affected the cultivation of bloodline warriors. However, Wu Weiguo’s instructions before he left made it impossible for Wu Susu to reject him.

n“Cough, cough!”

nChen Yiming coughed and said, “After receiving the ball of flesh that produces the miracle blood, the research at the institute doesn’t seem to be progressing well.

nYou have to know that the Sam Nation can exchange miracle blood for benefits at the national level. They definitely have to guarantee that they will have enough for themselves first. It’s impossible for them to only produce about 1,000 tubes a month.”

nWu Susu’s face turned pale and she quickly explained, “The problem lies in the nutrient solution. The research institute has just reached an agreement with the military.

nHowever, the military is also very short-handed, so they need some time to form a special unit that serves the research institute.”

nChen Yiming nodded and continued, “This problem is easy to resolve. The blood essence of a powerful creature is more effective than any nutrient solution. Leave your number with me. I’ll contact you when I find something suitable.”

nWhen Wu Susu heard this, a look of joy appeared on her face. She didn’t think too much about it and said, “Thank you so much. My number is 133… I’ll definitely turn it on 24 hours a day. I guarantee that you can contact me at any time.”

nThis time, Chen Yiming felt a little apologetic. He had been mostly bragging earlier.

nHe would be a failure if he made a woman wait for his call without actually intending to call her. However, he could not go back on his word.

nSoon, under Wu Susu’s longing gaze, Chen Yiming left the research institute with the special box.

n…

nAs he crossed the street in front of the city government area, signs for recruitment could be seen everywhere.

nChen Yiming stopped and took a look. He realized that most of the recruitment requirements on the sign stated that one’s strength had to be above the warrior realm. Furthermore, they would be treated well and would receive a cut of the rewards.

nIt could be said to be a collaboration rather than a recruitment.

nHe thought to himself, “The news spread quite quickly. It’s only been three days, but many factions have already come to Jiangnan City to make preparations.”

nAt this moment, a beautiful woman walked over and introduced with a smile, “Handsome, our blood shadow hunting group is very strong. You can consider coming to the headquarters to take a look.”

nChen Yiming’s attention was drawn to the person beside him. The beautiful woman’s voice was very seductive. However, her actual strength was weak and she seemed to be a salesperson.

nNot far away, there were two burly warriors from the blood shadow hunting group. As if to show off the strength of the group, they did not hide their auras at all.

nThe beautiful woman thought that Chen Yiming was looking at the reward on the sign, so she continued, “Although the share given by our blood shadow hunting group isn’t the highest, the amount of money earned from a single mission is often related to the strength of the leader…”

n“I’m a student of the martial arts academy. I was just passing by. I don’t meet your requirements…”

nBefore Chen Yiming could finish speaking, the beautiful woman stopped smiling. She glared at him and turned to return to the recruitment team. The gazes of the two burly men in the team had also changed.

nIn their eyes, a kid from the martial arts academy who was just joining in the fun was wasting everyone’s time. If not for the fact that they were in the city government’s office area, they would have taught him a lesson.

n…

nIn the Chen family house,

nChen Yingying returned from school. As soon as she entered, she saw an unfamiliar box on the coffee table.

nFather Chen and Mother Chen were holding a piece of white paper with small black words printed all over it. They looked very focused as they read. Chen Yiming, who was sitting on the sofa, was leisurely watching the news.

n“You’re back!” Mother Chen greeted her.

n“What are you guys looking at?” Chen Yingying walked over and asked.

n“Your mother and I are studying the instruction manual. This is the miracle blood your brother brought back from the provincial city,” Father Chen said as he pointed at the box on the coffee table.

nChen Yingying’s eyes lit up as she turned to look at the box.

nChen Yiming had told her that using the miracle blood to assist in cultivation could purify the impurities in one’s body and improve one’s physique, thereby changing one’s martial arts talent.

nFor most people, their martial arts talent could not be changed. The rumored bloodline warriors had an extremely high failure rate. Few ordinary people would risk their lives to try it.

nNow, the miracle blood that was safe and had no side effects was in front of her.

nChen Yiming glanced at his excited sister and thought to himself, “No one outside will treat you so sincerely. Now you know who’s really treating you well!”

nHe did not continue to keep his sister in suspense and pressed his thumb to the lock on the front of the box.

n“Beep!”

nHe passed the fingerprint verification, and the lock automatically opened.

nTwo layers were stacked together, with 250 test tubes on each layer.

nFather Chen, Mother Chen, and Chen Yingying held their breaths for a moment. Their attention was attracted by the red liquid in the test tubes.

nChen Yiming took out a test tube and handed it to Chen Yingying. “This is the miracle blood I got for you.”

n“This is the miracle blood!”

nChen Yingying carefully took it and gently turned the test tube to examine its contents carefully from all directions.

nShe discovered that the pure red liquid was faintly glowing with a golden color. One could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

n“Be careful! Don’t drop it,” Mother Chen suddenly reminded her.

nIt would have been better if he had not said that. Once she did, Chen Yingying’s hand trembled. Coupled with the fact that her palm was sweating a little from nervousness, she was so frightened that she almost dropped it.

nFather Chen and Mother Chen quickly reached out to catch it. Fortunately, Chen Yingying held on to it in the end.

nSeeing this, Chen Yiming smiled and said, “This miracle blood can be produced continuously. If you drop it, so be it. There’s no need to be so careful.”

nFather Chen asked doubtfully, “Is that so? Many friends asked me about the all-purpose blood and said that they were willing…”

nMother Chen glared at Father Chen and interrupted him. “What kind of friends are those? It’s fine if you brag usually, but don’t let it slip this time for the sake of your pride. We’ll be in trouble if that happens.”

n“That’s right, that’s right. We can’t be careless about this,” Father Chen muttered to himself.

nTo Father Chen and Mother Chen, although Chen Yiming had said that they didn’t have to care too much about the blood, they knew how precious it was. They all thought that their son was joking.

nChen Yiming continued, “Yingying, let me know after you use up this batch. I’ll go get more. Dad, Mom, you guys can also add a few drops to your bath water every day and see if it can help you regain your energy. Perhaps you can use this opportunity to embark on the path of martial arts again.”

n“No! No! No!”

nWhen Father Chen and Mother Chen heard this, they subconsciously refused.

nMother Chen waved her hand and said, “Your father and I are already old. How can our bodies withstand the torture of practicing martial arts?”

nFather Chen also quickly said, “Even if we can step onto the path of martial arts again, we have to spend most of our time practicing martial arts like your sister. Your mother and I are used to living ordinary lives, so how can we endure that? Let’s forget it.”

nChen Yiming thought to himself, “How can you two be the same as my sister?”

nChen Yingying was still a young girl. Of course, she had to either focus on her studies or on martial arts. She could not be idle. Otherwise, if she was tricked by a boy one day, the two of you would be worried.

nHe continued, “We can talk about martial arts in the future, but you should add a few drops to your bath water every day. Improving one’s physique and extending one’s lifespan is a huge matter that we have to take seriously.”

nIn the end, Father Chen and Mother Chen couldn’t dissuade Chen Yiming and agreed.

n…

nThe next morning, Chen Yiming woke up in bed with Father Chen and Mother Chen whispering to him.

n“Jindong, come and take a look. The wrinkles on my face seem to have disappeared a little.” Mother Chen tried her best to lower her voice, but she could not hide the excitement in her voice.

n“Really? I couldn’t tell.” Father Chen walked over and glanced at the mirror with a smile.

n“Tsk! Go away! You don’t know how to say anything good.” Mother Chen pushed Father Chen, indicating that he should not get in the way.

nThen, she dressed up seriously in front of the mirror, her eyes filled with vigor.

nWomen of all ages cared a lot about their appearance. Sometimes, they would act as if they didn’t care about their appearance. This was either because they didn’t have the ability to do so, or they had resigned themselves to their fate after losing their looks. They knew that it was useless to make a fool of themselves.

nFather Chen chuckled and walked into the bathroom with a razor. He shaved his beard clean in front of the mirror and washed it with water.

nAt this moment, an energetic middle-aged man appeared in the mirror.

n“The effect is too good. I feel like I became five years younger overnight. My waist is stronger and my legs aren’t sore anymore,” Father Chen said narcissistically.

nHe even rolled up his sleeve and bent his forearm, trying to flex his biceps.

nIn reality, there was not much change in his appearance. After all, improving his physique would not help him train his body. However, Father Chen felt that he had become stronger.

nThen, as if it was not enough, he rolled up his other sleeve and struck a pose that was specially used in bodybuilding. This was not all. He turned around and studied himself from every angle.

n“Tap! Tap!”

nSuddenly, the sound of someone walking past in slippers could be heard. Father Chen quickly straightened his sleeves, picked up a cup and toothbrush, and gargled his mouth to hide what he was doing.

n“Dad, you’re in the bathroom? Then I’ll wait to use it later.”

nChen Yingying had come to the door, but she turned to leave.

n“I’m almost done washing up. You still have to go to school, so I can’t make you wait. Come and wash your face quickly.”

nFather Chen quickly took in a few mouthfuls of water and spat them out. He put away the cup and toothbrush and walked out of the bathroom.

n“Dad! You seem to have become younger.”

nChen Yingying, who was at the bathroom door, was surprised when she saw Father Chen.

n“Is that so? Maybe it’s because I shaved my beard!” Father Chen smiled and walked straight back to the bedroom.

nWatching Father Chen leave, Chen Yingying pouted and felt a little flustered.

nUnlike Father Chen and Mother Chen, who had only used one drop of miracle blood, she had used up an entire tube last night. However, other than sleeping very soundly at night, she did not feel much different.

n“No way! Could it be that a whole tube of miracle blood is still ineffective for me?”

n“No, Mom and Dad are both ordinary people. It’s not fair to compare us directly.”

nChen Yingying washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Her mind was in a mess, and she could only find this excuse to comfort herself.

n…

nDuring breakfast, the family sat around the dining table.

nMother Chen had prepared hand-made buns and freshly-made soy milk.

nChen Yingying wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed. Chen Yiming saw all of this, but he pretended not to notice and continued to eat the buns Mother Chen had made.

nUnlike Father Chen and Mother Chen, Chen Yingying had changed very little. However, this was very normal. Their basic physiques were not on the same level, so the difficulty and speed of improvement were naturally different.

nFurthermore, the changes in Father Chen and Mother Chen’s bodies would only be so obvious the first time they used the miracle blood.

nAfter that, they would enter a slow process of transformation. Perhaps it would take a few months, half a year, and a year for there to be any more obvious changes.

nThe efficiency of using this method was very low, and most of it would be wasted.

nThis was unlike the blood essence that was treated with the miracle blood. The bloodline warriors could see an immediate effect from the moment he was injected with the first syringe of the mixture. He would move from an ordinary person to the disciple realm.

nChen Yingying found a topic and asked, “Brother! The teachers and students from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy will be coming to the East Lake Martial Arts Academy for a martial arts exchange today. Yesterday, the teacher asked if I wanted to go on stage to spar.”

nChen Yiming was eating a bun when he heard the words “Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy”. He raised an eyebrow.

nHe had heard from Zhu Song yesterday that Yuan Chengwei, who was known as a super rookie, was a student of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy.

nHe nodded and continued to eat his buns.

nAs someone who had lived two lives, how could he not understand the things that happened between adolescent boys and girls? Forcefully intervening would often have the opposite effect.

nIn any case, Yuan Chengwei’s true personality was extremely arrogant. If he was provoked a little, he would definitely be exposed. Chen Yiming was not anxious at all.

nSeeing that Chen Yiming didn’t object, Chen Yingying continued, “I originally wanted to rely on my miracle blood to break through to the warrior realm before going on stage to spar. That way, I wouldn’t embarrass you, but now…”

nHer voice became softer and softer. Most of the students in Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy were at the higher end of the disciple realm. Chen Yingying did not have any confidence that she would win.

nChen Yiming swallowed the bun in one gulp and said with a smile, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? If you want to go on stage and spar, go ahead. After all, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy is from the provincial capital. It’s still worth interacting with you.”

nAlthough he said that, in reality, he had already planned to go with her in secret. If that super rookie, Yuan Chengwei, also came, once he had any ill intentions, he would directly break all of his legs.

nChen Yingying nodded and said, “Then I’ll go. I’ll try my best to win.”

nEast Lake City was the hometown of the four members of the Chen family, and Chen Yiming was a famous martial master. In reality, Chen Yingying only wanted to help the East Lake Martial Arts Academy as much as possible.

nWhat Chen Yiming had imagined wasn’t the real situation.

nAfter Chen Yingying went to school, Father Chen and Mother Chen said that they were going to buy groceries. They left almost immediately.

nChen Yiming sighed. “Yesterday, the two elders reached a consensus that they couldn’t be careless. Today, they clearly look younger, but they can’t wait to go out.

nAs expected, regardless of gender or age, they must be very concerned about the traces of time left on their bodies.”

nHe stood up, and the air suddenly distorted. If anyone else was here, they wouldn’t have seen Chen Yiming himself, but someone with a completely different appearance, figure, and aura.

n
