The effects of the Blood Qi Pill were very simple and straightforward.

It strengthened his blood and qi. It also increased his strength.

When Chen Shaojun swallowed the pill, he immediately felt a surge of boundless medicinal power rampaging through his body.

He could clearly feel that the blood and qi in his body were growing stronger and stronger. Furthermore, steam was spreading out from his body, forming a faint mist of blood essence.

However, this process was too painful.

The medicinal power wreaked havoc in his body.

It felt as if he was being scraped open from the inside by a knife.

He immediately understood that he had been too rash again.

Although his body had been transformed and improved by the Essence Augmenting Pill, it was still inferior to that of a martial artist. Furthermore, martial artists could absorb the medicinal power of pills through their own unique cultivation methods. But what about him?

He started to panic.

“Hm?”

However, very quickly, he was stunned.

He suddenly felt his body constantly vibrating.

The vibrations were very soft at first.

However, it seemed to have become more intense due to the constant stimulation of his blood and qi.

Furthermore, he inexplicably felt that the frequency of his flesh and blood vibrating was somewhat familiar.

His body moved up and down. It trembled and stirred. There was a clear rhythm.

“Is this the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique?”

Soon, he understood…

At this critical moment, the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique activated. It used its own breathing rhythm to drive the qi and blood in his body to circulate and absorb the devastating medicinal power.

Initially, he had thought that the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique was useless and would require a long period of cultivation before it would be effective. However, he did not expect it to be effective so quickly.

With the breathing technique, the raging medicinal power quickly calmed down.

Just like that, two hours passed.

The medicinal power gradually dissipated. Then, Chen Shaojun clenched his fists and his veins bulged. He was bursting with power.

Even his originally thin and weak body had become sturdier.

However, it was not obvious. Even the people who were often with him would find it hard to notice the difference.

“Consuming the Blood Qi Pill probably increased my strength by more than two times.”

“I guess that it won’t be a problem for me to lift a 200-pound stone block now.”

“Furthermore, I have fully exhausted the Blood Qi Pill already. Although I wasn’t able to fully absorb the medicinal effects of the pill, I can still consider this strength as my own now.”

Chen Shaojun sighed with emotion. He was overjoyed.

Exhausting the medicinal power of a spirit pill was actually very normal.

After all, his body could only endure so much. Although the breathing technique could handle the medicinal power and help him absorb it, the excess medicinal power would naturally be expelled from his body.

He was already satisfied with this.

He had to take it one step at a time. Although it was a pity to waste the pill’s medicinal power, the price of ‘eating’ it was something that he was unwilling to accept.

For example, it might turn into body fat.

It was said that one who was in poor health would not be able to handle strong medicines. Instead, the excessive medicinal power would overflow.

If the medicinal power could not be absorbed in his body in time, wouldn’t it only be stored and grow into fat? He didn’t want to be a fatso!

…

When he walked out of the appraisal room, it was already late in the night.

Fortunately, Shen Lang and Xu Hongtao were still in the pawnshop.

Both of them had houses outside and did not stay in the pawnshop. They usually went home before nightfall.

After all, the capital was not safe at night.

A lot of darkness and danger lurked in the night.

“I didn’t expect you to appraise these materials so quickly.”

Shen Lang was shocked.

He had seen Chen Shaojun take the materials to the appraisal room. He had thought that the three ‘raw materials’ were enough to keep Chen Shaojun busy for a while. Perhaps Chen Shaojun wouldn’t have to take new items from him tomorrow.

However, he did not expect that the ‘cleansing’ of the three raw materials would be completed so quickly.

If he included the previous treasure, Chen Shaojun had appraised four treasures today.
