Chapter 119: Another Deal
Chapter 119: Another Deal
Jiang Cheng successfully refined all 200 Primordial Energy Points in his acupoints, and he proceeded to transfer the actively absorbed energy points to the acupoints, thus proving the feasibility of his conjecture.
After refining all the energy, Jiang Cheng slowly exhaled.
Next, he waited for his Spirit Energy to recover before attempting another active absorption.
But this interval would take at least six or seven hours.
"It's time to find Shi Yan."
Jiang Cheng got off the bed, crawled under it, and retrieved a briefcase.
He counted out 20,000 yuan.
Five thousand to repay the previous debt.
Ten thousand for the second volume.
And the remaining five thousand, to purchase all of Shi Yan's secret medicines.
At this point, he decided to lay his cards on the table. He planned to tell Shi Yan that he had sensed the Primordial Force and inquire if he had any techniques to enhance his Spirit Energy.
As for the matter of opening the first acupoint, he would keep it a secret for now.
When leaving, Jiang Cheng remained vigilant, even taking a detour to check if anyone from the Iron Fist Gang was secretly monitoring him.
Only after confirming there were no abnormalities did he approach Shi Yan's door, which was closed. He knocked.
"Who is it?"
Shi Yan's voice came from inside.
"It's me, Brother Shi."
"Oh, it's Little Cheng. Come in."
The sound of unlocking echoed inside, and the door opened to reveal Shi Yan's enthusiastic smile, "Come in, come in."
After entering, Shi Yan invited Jiang Cheng to sit at the table and proactively poured a cup of hot water, placing it in front of him.
"Little Cheng, did you finish the secret medicine you bought last time? Haha, I just made a new batch yesterday. If you want it, I'll go get it for you."
"Is there only one bottle?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
"Hmm?"
Shi Yan was taken aback, turning to look at Jiang Cheng, "What do you mean, Little Cheng?"
"I'll take all the remaining secret medicines."
Shi Yan's heart immediately filled with joy. After Jiang Cheng purchased the second bottle, he had prepared the remaining four bottles, just waiting for you to buy them," Shi Yan said.
"Are you sure, Little Cheng?"
He immediately felt something was amiss, "I have four bottles left. At the price of 1,000 yuan per bottle, that's 4,000 yuan."
If including these four bottles, Jiang Cheng would spend 6,000 yuan on secret medicines this month. Should he not repay the remaining 5,000 yuan debt?
"Brother Shi, I came not only to buy the four bottles of secret medicine you have but also for the second volume of the secret martial arts. Oh, and I'll repay the 5,000 yuan debt this time as well."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Shi Yan was stunned.
Such a good deal?
If calculated this way, wouldn't he earn 20,000 yuan today?
"I've brought the money, Brother Shi. You can count it later."
Having become a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, Jiang Cheng's confidence soared, unafraid of any ill intentions from Shi Yan.
Seeing the two stacks of hundred-yuan bills on the table, Shi Yan's heart raced.
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll go get it for you."
Sounds of rustling and whispers came from behind the curtain.
Soon, Shi Yan emerged with two small booklets and four small bottles in his hands.
"Little Cheng, these are the second halves of the martial arts and the cultivation technique. You can practice from proficiency to mastery, completion, and perfection, just like last time. Copy the cultivation technique to take with you, and you can borrow the martial arts manual to study. Remember to return it after you're done."
"These four bottles of secret medicine are the last ones I have. Once they're gone, I won't have the ingredients to make more."
Shi Yan sighed.
"It's best to use it sparingly. If you still can't sense anything after a while, perhaps you can take a few days to find your feeling. It might even help you enter the beginner's stage."
"Mhm, thanks for the reminder, Brother Shi. But I've already entered the beginner's stage." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"It's nothing. I was just..." Shi Yan suddenly lifted his head, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"Cheng, what did you just say? You?"
"Yes, I said my Shattered Jade Fist has entered the beginner's stage, and I can sense the Primordial Energy."
"Pa!"
A sound, like something falling, came from behind the curtain.
Shi Yan's eyes widened, his mind going blank.
Jiang Cheng had anticipated this reaction and smiled at him.
After a while, Shi Yan snapped back to his senses and cautiously asked, "Cheng, what you said... is it true? You really sensed the Primordial Energy?"
"Of course."
Jiang Cheng looked at the two small booklets on the table.
Shi Yan was stunned.
Yes, if he couldn't sense it, there was no need to buy the upper volume, right?
But how long had it been since Jiang Cheng obtained the secret scroll?
It seemed like not even a week, and he had already entered the beginner's stage and could sense the Primordial Energy?
As for himself...
He had spent several months, never stopping his consumption of secret medicines, and his body had indeed strengthened, but he still couldn't sense the Primordial Energy.
Was this the difference between individuals?
"Cheng, Cheng."
Shi Yan stood up from the stool, leaning forward with eager eyes. "You, you can teach me, can't you? Teach me how to sense the Primordial Energy. If you can guide me into the beginner's stage, I can give you all of this, and moreover..."
"Moreover, what?"
Jiang Cheng realized that what the other party said next might be what he was truly interested in.
"Moreover, I can tell you how to enter the Outer District Black Market."
Jiang Cheng's pupils constricted.
Indeed, his guess was correct.
Shi Yan did know how to enter the Black Market.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shi."
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I don't want to deceive you. To be honest, I also want to guide you into the beginner's stage, but I can't. I can only share some of my experiences with you, and you already know these things."
"Yes, I know all of this."
Shi Yan deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped back onto the bench.
Just as not every Primordial Energy Warrior could sense the energy, not every ordinary person could sense the Primordial Energy and gain the opportunity to defy fate.
"Sorry, Cheng. I was thinking too much."
Shi Yan snapped back to his senses and smiled wryly at Jiang Cheng.
"Brother Shi, please count the money. It should be two thousand, and you can just give me one thousand."
"Okay, okay."
Shi Yan nodded repeatedly.
After a while, Shi Yan finished counting the money and pushed the remaining one thousand towards Jiang Cheng.
"Cheng, thank you."
He sincerely said, "With this money, my family's life will be much better, and I won't have to worry about being evicted if I can't earn enough in a month."
"Brother Shi, don't be polite. This is what we agreed upon."
Jiang Cheng paused. "You mentioned knowing how to enter the Black Market. Is that true?"
Shi Yan nodded, a little dazed.
Jiang Cheng suggested, "Then, shall we make another deal?"
