Chapter 3: I Can Explain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Should he live off the Wang family?

If he were to borrow money from Sister Yaya, she would definitely lend it to him, and she wouldn’t ask that he return it either.

However, he had just made a bet with Sister Yaya. If he were to live off her now, wouldn’t that make him seem too useless?

Xu Lingjun looked at his interface. He still had over 1,800 source value points. A vague idea appeared in his mind.

The use of the source value points should not be limited to this. Perhaps they could help him.

Although he had only used it once, Xu Lingjun understood the ability of the cheat very well.

After he bestowed origin on something, the thing would remain exactly the same on the surface, which meant that the introduction of the item would stay the same as well. If that was the case, there was quite some room for him to try things out.

Therefore, early the next morning, Xu Lingjun used the excuse that he was not feeling well and asked for leave from his class teacher.

The new class teacher, Wang Qingya, said with concern, “Are you not feeling well? Okay, I’ll go back early this afternoon after school.”

Xu Lingjun, “…”

So, had the class teacher also gone back to her hometown to get married? Did she get married to the general knowledge teacher?

Anyway, Sister Yaya agreed, so everything was fine.

After asking for leave, Xu Lingjun went straight to the pharmacy nearest to him.

The medicine cabinet was filled with densely packed medicines.

Xu Lingjun looked for blood tonics.

Soon, he found some, like E’jiao capsules, as well as qi and blood tonifying oral liquids.

In the introductions, it was written very clearly that these medicines could nourish one’s blood, tonifying qi, and balancing yin and yang. Regardless of all else, just by looking at the introduction, their effects seemed even better than the liquid spiritual energy.

In Xu Lingjun’s line of sight, as expected, a prompt subtitle appeared.

[Fake and inferior item E’jiao capsules detected. Do you wish to bestow it with its true origin? Costs 50 source value points!]

[Fake and inferior item qi and blood tonifying oral liquids detected. Do you wish to bestow it with its true origin? Costs 80 source value points!]

As expected, the introduction did not match the actual effects of the item since they were determined to be fake and inferior.

However, their functions were to nourish blood and qi. If he were to restore their origin, without a doubt, just like the “Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique”, the description in the manual would come true.

Xu Lingjun did not hesitate much and directly bought all the stock the pharmacy had of the two drugs.

He carried them home in bags.

He did not immediately start cultivating, but went out again and did many good deeds.

He sent the homeless stray dogs to the homes of dog lovers.

He helped a young girl get back her homework that was blown away by the wind. He also helped her finish it and developed her into his regular customer. By promising to help her with her homework at half price in the future, he got a large amount of source value.

He especially liked children because their gratitude was very pure, which meant the source value they provided was more abundant.

At the end of the day, his source value finally broke through the 2,000 mark again.

A box of oral liquid had 10 bottles, which required 80 source value. Since it cost 8 points per bottle, the total was… 100… umm…

Xu Lingjun counted with his fingers for a long time at home, and then simply put his fingers down very naturally.

Hmm… with hundreds of bottles, it should be enough.

After returning home, Xu Lingjun looked at the clock. It was five in the afternoon, and today was a Saturday, which meant there would be a teacher’s summary meeting tonight that would end at 6:30. Including the half-hour journey back, Sister Yaya should be home by seven o’clock.

With two hours, even if he failed and had an accident, she would still be able to save him in time.

As such, Xu Lingjun used his source value to convert a box of oral liquid.

As the 80 source value points disappeared, like magic, the originally clear liquid in the bottle gradually became viscous, like bright red blood. However, it was much more concentrated than blood, seemingly more to a jelly texture as it jiggled in the bottle.

Just by smelling it, one could smell the faint smell of blood. It wasn’t unpleasant, but rather fragrant and sweet, making one feel thirsty and want to drink it.

Xu Lingjun recalled that when his parents were still alive, his mother had bled heavily when giving birth to him and was on the verge of death. At that time, his father and father Wang had almost emptied all their savings before they could barely buy a bottle of blood-nourishing spiritual liquid that had saved his mother’s life.

When she had drunk that thing back then, Xu Lingjun had been by her side.

However, even though the blood-nourishing spiritual liquid back then had smelt rich, Xu Lingjun felt that this small bottle of qi and blood tonifying oral liquid seemed even purer.

Let’s do it then.

Xu Lingjun gritted his teeth and downed the entire bottle of oral liquid in a go.

When the blood entered his stomach, it was as if a ball of fire was burning his internal organs. The burning sensation rushed left and right, and blood immediately flowed from Xu Lingjun’s nose. His face was flushed, and he only felt swollen as if the originally narrow cave in his body had suddenly been stuffed with a behemoth that exceeded its limits.

In the end, the narrow cave was torn apart.

He felt hot, painful, and swollen.

The effect of the qi and blood tonifying oral liquid was very good, just great. Or rather, it should be said that its effects were too great. His blood had been over-nourished!

Xu Lingjun did not hesitate to start circulating the Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique!

The blood qi surged like wild waves. As the cultivation technique was circulated, Xu Lingjun’s body seemed to have turned into a swamp.

The originally vast sea of blood was rapidly being absorbed and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. The boiling, unbearable swelling sensation also quickly disappeared, and what replaced it was extreme emptiness and thirst.

To think the consumption of a Celestial Demon grade cultivation technique was so shocking.

This bottle of qi and blood tonifying oral liquid, which was even better than the blood-nourishing spiritual liquid that could save a patient with a massive hemorrhage, had only lasted for a short period of two breaths?

He had to replenish the blood qi, or else he would be sucked dry by the cultivation technique.

Xu Lingjun did not hesitate to drink another bottle.

The rich blood qi once again turned into nutrients, settling into his bones, blood, and flesh.

A series of crackling sounds erupted within his body.

He was anemic again.

Drink!!!!

Xu Lingjun did not hesitate to drink another bottle. At the same time, he used 130 source value points to convert another box of oral liquid and a box of capsules.

Didn’t he just have to take the medicine non-stop?

So be it!

Xu Lingjun fell into a cycle where he had to consume a capsule or a bottle of oral liquid every two seconds he cultivated,

During this process, his body, flesh, bones, and veins were all being rapidly strengthened by the large amount of blood qi.

Perhaps it was because it was a body-tempering technique, the cultivation of the technique was very rigid. If there was enough blood qi, one could cultivate. If there was not enough blood qi, one could not cultivate. It was straightforward, and there was no need for one to have a high level of comprehension.

Xu Lingjun had lost count of how much medicine he had taken.

The medicine that he had taken would be converted into blood qi in an instant and would then be forcefully absorbed by his body. He didn’t feel like he was full at all.

He just kept drinking and taking capsules.

He only felt that his body seemed to be like a planet in the universe beyond the heavens.

Countless meteorites had fallen on his body over a long time, tempering his body for God knows how long.

The impurities gradually dissipated, and in its place was his crystal clear and tough body.

When his source value was left with a little more than 300 points, Xu Lingjun finally completed the first cycle of the Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique with difficulty.

The first cycle was the most difficult.

After completing this cycle, he had laid a foundation in his body. As such, After this, when he cultivated, blood qi would no longer be consumed. Instead, his body would automatically produce blood qi to nourish himself. Of course, if he took more blood qi to nourish himself, his progress would be even greater.

Just like now.

Xu Lingjun felt like he had never felt so energetic before.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands. His palms, which were originally rough due to his hard work, were now as delicate as a pampered girl’s, and even more tender. It could be imagined that his body was the same.

His inner body was as tough as diamond, while his outer body was as clear as glass.

This was a sign that he had already completed the first stage of the Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique.

He casually took a small dagger from the side and lightly slashed it on his arm. As if it had landed on a layer of rubber, it was easily deflected.

This dagger was extremely sharp. If he didn’t want it to break through its defense, he would at least have to be…

Xu Lingjun didn’t know how to describe it with comparison, but he had witnessed Li Lei, who had already reached stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier and was about to reach the Qi-gathering Tier, being severely injured when he was sparring with someone and was struck by the other party’s Tang blade even though he had armor defense.

In comparison, although the lethality of the dagger was far from the Tang blade, the dagger was thinner and sharper.

His current defense was definitely far beyond the Body-tempering Tier.

He stood up.

Focusing his mind and gathering his strength, he attempted to throw a punch.

The sound of rushing wind could be heard. Although his punch did not hit an actual object, the force was like a huge gust of wind. The door that was open in the distance closed with a bang.

Xu Lingjun pondered, his force was also much stronger than before. It seemed to be at about stage 8 of the Body-tempering Tier.

As expected of a body-tempering technique. Its effects were mainly on body-tempering.

The increase in his strength was slightly inferior to his defense, but it was still shocking that he had been able to break through a realm after just starting to cultivate the technique.

Besides, things related to blood qi…

Xu Lingjun lowered his head and looked at his penis.

Then, he sighed faintly. So Be it. Why did all the blood-nourishing medicines have to do with nourishing yin and yang?

After taking so much blood-nourishing medicine in one go that had been bestowed with the origin, the effects were extremely good. It would probably be difficult for him to sleep soundly tonight.

However, it was fortunate that the medicines were nourishing instead of strengthening. Otherwise, he would have probably exploded and died.

At this moment, Wang Qingya’s worried voice sounded from outside the door. “Lingjun, you said that you’re not feeling well. What is it? Do you need to go to the hospital to take a look?”

As she said this, the door that had been closed by the fist wind was pushed open.

Wang Qingya barged in. It seemed that she had been running for some time, and her breathing was a little hurried.

Then, she saw Xu Lingjun sitting cross-legged with his head lowered.

Following his gaze…

Wang Qingya, “…”

Xu Lingjun, “…”

“I can explain, really…” Xu Lingjun said sincerely to Wang Qingya.
