Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction-Chapter 4 The Real Elixir
Chapter 4 - 4 The Real Elixir
"Boom." Lin Yuan was once again sent flying.
"You, shameless!"
The woman in white suddenly blushed, her ears turning red with embarrassment, and shouted angrily.
Lin Yuan, lying on the ground, showed a faint smile on his face.
After enduring so many beatings, it wasn't all in vain. He intentionally provoked her just now, and she didn't strike critically. This would naturally increase the chances of her agreeing to his request later.
Lin Yuan patted the dust off his clothes and, after a while, leisurely walked back to the door.
"What do you want?" Seeing Lin Yuan approach, the woman snorted.
Just now, she wanted to cut him in half with her sword after hearing his words. How could she, a noble heavenly maiden, allow anyone to tarnish her reputation?
However, she usually refrained from killing without reason, which is why she barely let him go.
"I want to collect rent!" Lin Yuan leaned against the door frame and said coldly.
Sometimes, asking for help from others only requires a reason, regardless of whether the excuse is reasonable.
"Collect rent?" The woman in white said calmly, her cool voice drifting out from behind her white veil.
She was extremely irritated, initially needing rest after being seriously injured in a fight with another.
The thieves must be searching for her whereabouts in this vicinity.
Judging by the fight, the attacker was likely as injured as she, which is why she found Lin Yuan's small house to recuperate.
As they say, the most dangerous place is the safest.
At her level of martial arts, she no longer needed to consume ordinary food, but rather treasures rich in spiritual energy.
Yet, after being ambushed and hastily fighting for days, her supplies were nearly exhausted.
Now severely wounded, she couldn't recklessly absorb the surrounding energy while resting to prevent her location from being exposed, hence drinking Lin Yuan's porridge to barely maintain her body functions.
Once her body slowly absorbed the healing pills' effects and restored 20% of her power, she would set up a secret array, quickly heal by absorbing the surrounding energy, and then take the attacker's life.
But this would take several days.
The person before her hadn't crossed her bottom line, making it hard for her to act ruthlessly. Nonetheless, she didn't dwell too much, quickly calming her mind with years of cultivation experience.
"A hundred gold notes." Suddenly, a commercial gold note appeared in the woman's hand, "Enough for you to live comfortably for ten years."
As soon as she spoke, the silver note in her hand moved without wind, slowly drifting to Lin Yuan's feet.
"I don't take silver money; it means nothing to me," Lin Yuan shook his head.
"Not enough?" A look of displeasure flashed in the woman's almond eyes.
Greed often causes people to lose their rationality. If the person before insisted on continuing about money, she wouldn't be as merciful as before.
Being kind doesn't mean being taken advantage of! Which of the heavenly maidens of the temple hasn't emerged from bloody battles with evil sects?
Her sword had long been stained with demonic blood.
"I only want healing pills!" Lin Yuan stated firmly, "In my current state, only a healing pill can restore my dantian. I won't accept anything else."
"Living without practicing martial arts is less comfortable than being a beast. Without the pill, please grant me a swift end."
Lin Yuan's face bore a trace of bitterness. If he had another option, he wouldn't resort to such a shameless act. But only by restoring his dantian could he stand on his own in the Canglan Realm.
He couldn't be blamed for using the woman's kindness.
"Heh, quite daring," the woman smirked, then coldly laughed.
The pills she used were from the temple, far superior in quality and potency than ordinary ones.
If released into the market, various factions would scramble for them. Unexpectedly, his actions were aimed at her healing pills.
She somewhat admired his courage and determination, surmising that he was taking advantage of her benevolence.
However, she wasn't upset and was ready to give him a pill upon his request. But hearing Lin Yuan's next words, her calm heart rippled once more.
"You're reneging!" Lin Yuan's gaze was like a sharp sword as he coldly said.
Bang!
A strong Qi force appeared before him, slightly stronger than before, and Lin Yuan was completely knocked out.
Midnight.
Lin Yuan awoke, his lower abdomen cramping so painfully that he convulsed in the darkness.
After a while, drenched in sweat, he began to focus on his surroundings.
"What is this?"
A milky white porcelain bottle by his hand glowed faintly under the moonlight.
"It must be that stubborn girl who gave me the Healing Pill." Lin Yuan suddenly felt a hint of joy.
He quickly got up, unplugged the bottle, and gently poured the pill into his palm.
By the moonlight, Lin Yuan saw the round pill in his palm, and a smile spread across his face.
It was a purplish-red pill, roughly the size of an almond, covered with dense thunder patterns.
The moonlight shone over it, enveloping it in a halo, like a pearl wrapped in a thin veil, stunningly beautiful.
"It's more potent than the one the village chief gave me!"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, immediately greeted by an inviting pill fragrance that made his breathing much smoother.
From the fragrance of both pills, Lin Yuan could already distinguish the difference, although he didn't understand its extent.
In fact, the healing pills she used were extraordinary, a supreme healing pill naturally imbued with thunder patterns.
There are four grades of the same pill: lower, middle, upper, and supreme. The impurities in different grades, such as pill fire toxins, ingredients' impurities, and the alchemist's power characteristics, vary.
Upper-level healing pills have most impurities removed, with no long-term accumulation of fire toxins or pill toxins.
Above upper-level pills are the supreme pills, whose external characteristic is the thunder patterns, capable of refining the user's inner power, enhancing effectiveness even beyond upper-level pills.

"Phew." Lin Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. As the turbid air left his chest, the distractions in his mind dissipated.
"Consume it!" Lin Yuan no longer hesitated and sent the pill from his palm into his mouth.
"Is this a real pill?" The fake pill he had taken before felt like a longan choking him, refusing to swallow or spit out.
A sweet taste spread in his mouth, and Lin Yuan thought perhaps the pills of this world had such traits, and unable to spit it out under others' gaze, it was quite uncomfortable.
But now, the pill dissolved as soon as it entered.
A magnificent energy flowed along his esophagus, spreading to his five viscera and six bowels.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt the burning sensation on his right arm turn cool under the pill's effect.
"Crackle."
A sound like silkworms eating leaves came from the broken bones of his right arm. Lin Yuan slightly moved his arm, no longer feeling the weakness of a fracture.
Before long, he could feel his arm restored as if before, even more resilient and strong.
"So fast!" Lin Yuan was shocked.
In his previous life as an ordinary laborer, he understood the common knowledge of needing a hundred days to heal bones. But the present situation opened his eyes and drew him to the strength of this world.
The medicine rapidly repaired Lin Yuan's wrecked body, from arm to face, and continued to mend his damaged heart vessels.
Ultimately, all the medicinal energy converged in his lower abdomen dantian.
"Boom!" Lin Yuan only felt a torrent of potent medicinal energy, like a roaring river rushing forward.
His dantian absorbed this medicinal flow, nourishing itself. As it was absorbed, his broken dantian gradually repaired.
Gradually, the dantian was restored!
As it healed, a surge of qi-blood suddenly emerged from his dantian, and Lin Yuan felt incredibly full.
"Pop!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but clench his right fist, striking it against his left palm.
Lin Yuan carefully sensed the restoration of his body, feeling the ground beneath his feet as solid as ever, unlike before, where it felt as if the sky and earth were spinning.
"How comfortable!" The fatigue in his heart and body was swept away, and confidence radiated from his smile.
But the situation wasn't as Lin Yuan expected; after recovery, he couldn't start martial arts cultivation immediately.
The medicinal power inside his body was far from exhausted.
The woman in white had high accomplishments; the healing pill she carried had the potency to revive the dead and flesh the bones. The pill's power continued to strengthen and reinforce his new dantian.
"Hmm? Why do I feel my body swelling, it's like the medicinal power is too intense!" Immersed in joy, Lin Yuan suddenly exclaimed.
His dantian had healed, and the feeling of power filled him. But gradually, he felt the pill's power was only a drop in the ocean, continuing to surge through his body.
As if it turned into an uncontrollable flood crashing through his meridians.
The immense flow of pill power brought a cooling sensation, gradually warming up like the rising sun, growing hotter and brighter.
"I need to absorb it quickly, or I'll explode!"
Feeling the rampaging medicinal flood, he suddenly felt heavy inside.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Yuan quickly moved to dissolve the flood of medicinal power, trying to guide the energy bouncing around his meridians.
Time ticked by.
"It's not working, absorption is too slow; this energy needs an outlet. Otherwise, it'll flood my organs, and my meridians will burst."
Lin Yuan's skin appeared like a boiling shrimp, bright red and hot.
Sweat rolled down his face, and white steam rose from his black hair.
"I must find a place to store it, only the dantian can suffice." Lin Yuan's face flushed, like burning embers.
Lin Yuan's body seemed like a balloon filled with high-pressure gas, with the medicinal power still rampaging unabated.
He felt like he was in a vacuum, and under immense internal pressure, even blood began to seep from his eyes, and his eyeballs protruding dangerously.
"Go!"
Lin Yuan guided the torrent of pill energy to crash into the dantian. The dantian transformed into a lake, absorbing the potent effects.
The dantian, which only stored qi-blood, suddenly brimmed with pill power.
"Expand, continue storing!"
Feeling the dantian on the verge of bursting, Lin Yuan resolutely persisted.
All other parts of his body were unable to absorb any more energy, leaving him with no choice but to expand his dantian.
Meanwhile.
The woman meditating inside quietly opened her beautiful eyes.
She was prepared to assist when Lin Yuan was truly at his limit, helping him through the crisis.
With a light pinch of her slender hand, she extended her finger.
A mysterious white vortex swirled on her fingertip.
Upon closer inspection, it was countless needle-like Qi Forces continuously spinning.
Seeing the white vortex, a smile appeared on the face behind the woman's veil.
She was ready to act the moment before Lin Yuan burst from the medicinal energy. The white spiritual needles were prepared to pierce various skin points, creating outlets for the energy to discharge.
But this required tens of thousands of Qi needles to simultaneously pierce and adjust to Lin Yuan's internal pressures at different points, ensuring consistent discharges. Failure could injure his internal organs, causing severe damage or even fatal hemorrhage.
The control and perception required here were incredibly high.
This is why the woman's strength was unfathomable, able to resolve Lin Yuan's lethal crisis with ease.
"Hmm?"
Just as she was about to intervene, she suddenly sensed a change within Lin Yuan!
