Chapter 52: Shocking Swallowing Technique

Chapter 52 – Shocking Swallowing Technique
“Will there be trouble if I learn this technique?”

Chen Fei asked in a low voice, many sects would go after exodus gong methods, especially internal strength gong methods. When he was in Pingyin County, Chen Fei was fine with it, after all, the place was small, and even if he learned another sect’s, the likelihood of being discovered was low.

But now it was in Xingfen City, and after that Chen Fei was even going to Xianyun City, with more choices, Chen Fei naturally had to be more cautious.

“This guest can rest assured, that sect has already fallen into disrepair, and he is the only heir. There won’t be any trouble if you learn this secret, instead, you’ve also helped to pass down the technique.” The shopkeeper smiled and said.

Chen Fei nodded slightly and picked up the secret book, slowly reading it. A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei put the secret book down.

The secret book was only a third of the way through, but one could already tell quite a bit.

Compared to the Surprising Thunder Sword Force, it was naturally incomparable, but it was already much more powerful than the Surprising Suspension Force. And this Cloud Swallowing Strength had a very special place, after practicing, the pills swallowed daily could actually increase.

To put it simply, the Cloud Swallowing Strength allowed the cultivator to absorb pills faster without burdening the body. Not to mention the others, this point alone made Chen Fei’s heart flutter.

Nowadays, Chen Fei could only take one Light Spirit Pill per day, any more and his meridians would swell and hurt, and his entire body’s qi and blood would produce abnormalities.

This kind of situation once or twice, would not be a problem. But if it was prolonged, it would definitely have a negative effect on the physical body. Thus, Chen Fei only tried it a few times before stopping and honestly taking one Lightness Spirit Pill every day.

“What price?”

“One thousand taels.” The shopkeeper’s smile grew wider.

“Excuse me, goodbye.”

Chen Fei simply put down the secret book in his hand and turned around, did he look so much like an ingrate?

“Stay, customer stay, the price is negotiable. And there are also pills and blades in the store, the customer can also take a look.” The shopkeeper hurriedly called out to Chen Fei.

“Is there a crossbow?” Chen Fei’s footsteps lurched as he turned around and asked.

“Naturally, there are, please come inside, customer.”

The shopkeeper nodded and guided Chen Fei into the inner hall. The blades placed here were even more diverse, and the shopkeeper brought Chen Fei to a wall where a variety of bows and crossbows were placed.

“Can I get started?”

“Be my guest.” The shopkeeper nodded.

Chen Fei stepped forward, picked up a longbow, and tried to pull it. Chen Fei’s expression did not move as he put the longbow down and picked up another longbow.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei left the store.

A morning passed by quietly, and Chen Fei returned to the inn.

The original longbow brought from Pingyin County had been sold and replaced with another strong bow. Compared to the original longbow, the new bow was undoubtedly much stronger, and according to Chen Fei’s estimation, there was no problem using it until the Calcined Bone Realm.

Chen Fei also learned about the price of pills.

In Pingyin County, the normal market price is ten taels a pill, while in Xingfen City, it is eight taels a pill. The Light Spirit Pill had also dropped from fifteen taels to thirteen taels a piece.

Prices were undoubtedly a lot cheaper, and it was no wonder that there were caravans running around, this kind of difference, as long as the quantity was large enough, the profit was very substantial.

And Apricot Fen City sells the Ever Floating Dan, Chen Fei specially bought some back. The Dan is a bit expensive, a nearly thirty taels.

The reason Chen Fei bought it back is mainly to see if the cultivation level of the realm of flesh cultivation nowadays can swallow the Ever Floating Dan to cultivate, and Chen Fei also intends to attack the Dan formula of the Ever Floating Dan.

Apricot Fen City did not sell the formula for the Ever Floating Dan, which made Chen Fei somewhat disappointed. The formula for the Light Spirit Pill was sold, but the price wasn’t cheap, it cost a few thousand taels.

“Originally, it was somewhat taken for granted, something like a Dan Formula is a highly valued existence in all places.”

Chen Fei muttered and tried to swallow a Ever Floating Dan, after an hour, Chen Fei opened his eyes with a slightly disappointed expression.

The medicinal effect of the Ever Floating Dan was very strong, but Chen Fei felt the swelling and pain in his meridians, much stronger than taking two Lightness Spirit Dan in a row. Obviously the Ever Floating Dan was a bit too much for the cultivation level of the Flesh Practicing Realm, and today’s Chen Fei could not afford it.

“I wonder if this Cloud Swallowing Strength, as the secret book says, can improve this situation.”

Chen Fei took out the secret book from his parcel, and after running through a dozen stores, Chen Fei spent three hundred taels of silver and bought the technique in other stores.

Yes, within Xingfen City, but all the stores that were a little bit bigger, nowadays sold this secret book of gongfu. I don’t know if it was that disciple of the sect that sold the secret book for a dozen or more, or if the merchants were stocking each other’s goods.

The first merchant store probably looked at Chen Fei as a stranger, holding the idea that it could cut one is one, shouting out that kind of price. That heart, dark.

After spending an hour, Chen Fei read through the Cloud Swallowing Strength and then tried to run it. A moment later, Chen Fei looked at the panel.

[Technique: Cloud Swallowing Strength (Introductory 1/100)]

“Fusion!”

[Feats: Surprising Swallowing Technique (Proficient 811/1000)]

“Discovered the gongfu Shocking Swallowing Technique, does it cost one hundred taels of silver to simplify the Shocking Swallowing Technique?”

“Amazing Swallowing Technique simplification in progress…simplification successful…Amazing Swallowing Technique → Amazing Suspension Power!”

Chen Fei’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile, the next step was to brush up on his proficiency and raise the Surprising Swallowing Technique to the level of Grand Completion. However, before that, Chen Fei had to try out if this new technique was really effective for the absorption of pills.

Sitting cross-legged, running the Surprising Swallowing Technique, half an hour later, Chen Fei opened his eyes with a joyful look in his eyes.

The meridians that were originally distended and painful had completely returned to normal at this moment. Those medicinal powers that had not been absorbed had completely integrated into Chen Fei’s body at this moment.

“The effect is surprisingly so obvious.”

Chen Fei glanced at the Standing Floating Dan next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose a Light Spirit Dan next to him and swallowed it.

The medicinal power of the Dan had just dispersed when discomfort began to appear in the meridians, Chen Fei hurriedly ran the Amazing Swallowing Technique. The qi and blood in Chen Fei’s body surged rapidly, and the discomfort gradually slowed down, then slowly disappeared.

Chen Fei’s originally furrowed brow instantly unfolded, the Amazing Swallowing Technique continued to flow within his body, the medicinal power of the elixir was quickly absorbed and fed back into his flesh and blood.

An incense stick of time passed, Chen Fei opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

“It’s already reached its limit, one Ever Floating Dan plus one Light Spirit Dan, the growth of internal energy has nearly doubled. Originally it took more than nine months to reach Calcined Bones, now it only takes more than four months.”

Chen Fei muttered, calculating the time for his cultivation breakthrough.

“And the Surprising Swallowing Technique has yet to be cultivated to its fullest extent, so the number of pills swallowed each day can continue to increase when the time comes.”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but tug his fists tightly, relative to others, Chen Fei’s cultivation growth rate was already not slow. But who wouldn’t want to progress quickly if they had a choice, especially since this world was still so dangerous.

“The original sect of this gong method, it wouldn’t be the one that was eaten poor, right?” A thought suddenly popped into Chen Fei’s mind.

As night fell, Chen Fei walked on the streets of Xingfen City. Compared to Pingyin County, the night in Xingfen City was undoubtedly more lively.

Looking at the surrounding human life, Chen Fei’s heart could not help but calm down a lot. If there was a choice, Chen Fei still wished to live this quiet life.

But unfortunately, this world doesn’t give you the chance to choose, many things will be forced upon you, such as danger.

Chen Fei walked through the busy streets and turned into an alley. Compared to the outside, the alley was undoubtedly much quieter. And at the end of the alley, a store opened.

Lights faintly filtered out from the store, shining on the walls of the alley as if showing their teeth.
