Chapter 311: The Green Pill
Chapter 311: The Green Pill
Despite the eerie appearance of the Serpent Sect's services, there was a strict set of procedures in place, ensuring safety and effectiveness. As long as one followed these steps, there was nothing to fear, and the main challenge was overcoming psychological discomfort.
Chen Chuan had no resistance to this. It was evident that these snakes, after generations of cultivation, had fundamentally diverged from typical snakes, becoming pure biological tools for cultivation assistance.
After the illustrations, a series of important notes were listed. Not everyone was eligible for this service; there were specific requirements.
Firstly, the recipient of the service must possess a certain level of strength, like Chen Chuan's current stage and the potential he had demonstrated, making him an ideal candidate.
Secondly, it was preferable to have an internal referral, or if not, a person of status to act as a guarantor.
Chen Chuan glanced at the bottom of the scroll, noting the service fee of 3,000 yuan per session. It seemed expensive, but considering the service involved consuming special tools, it was likely that money couldn't buy this service.
Based on Cao Guiqi's previous statements and indirect information, this service not only reinforced bones but also strengthened internal organs. If it could truly deliver these dual benefits, the fee was not expensive at all; it was quite reasonable.
After reading this, Chen Chuan didn't hesitate to pick up the pen and sign his name in the customer signature section. He then pushed the scroll towards Zou Handan and asked, "Mr. Zou, when can the service be arranged?"
Zou Handan looked at his signature, picked up the scroll, and slowly rolled it up. "Since Mr. Chen has agreed, we will make the necessary arrangements upon returning. It will take up to half a month at most, and the earliest we can start is at the end of the month. Once everything is ready, we will notify you promptly, Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble your side."
At this moment, Zou Handan's snake-like eyes emitted a faint light, as if he was using a Boundary Token to contact someone. After a while, he said, "I've confirmed with the sect, and we're now proceeding with the follow-up arrangements."
He stood up and extended his hand, "Mr. Chen, thank you for choosing our sect's services."
Chen Chuan also stood up and shook hands with him. He felt that the muscles on the palm and back of Zou Handan's hand were extremely resilient and powerful, contrary to the gentle appearance he projected.
As they shook hands, a new contact tried to add Chen Chuan. He glanced at the profile picture and accepted the request. The profile picture showed a figure in a red robe with snake-like eyes, standing straight, making it impossible to discern their gender. Behind this figure was an even larger snake eye.
Zou Handan also looked at Chen Chuan's profile picture, seemingly a bit surprised.
The Serpent Sect conducted psychological assessments on every client, and the choice of profile picture was a valuable reference. It was rare for someone like Chen Chuan to make no particular choice, and his unchanged selection also indicated a certain psychological state.
After greeting Chen Chuan, Zou Handan politely said to Cao Guiqi, who was sitting beside him, "Mr. Cao, the service details have been finalized. I need to return to oversee the arrangements. Zou Handan will take his leave first."
Cao Guiqi nodded slightly, "Mr. Zou, please take your time. Uncle Ding, please see Mr. Zou out."
Uncle Ding made a gesture of invitation, and after Zou Handan nodded to Chen Chuan, he followed Uncle Ding out. However, before leaving, Zou Handan left a box on the table.
Chen Chuan's gaze landed on the box.
Cao Guiqi took a sip of his drink and said, "He left this for you. The Serpent Sect values every client and presents them with a gift. The contents of the box vary in quality and value, and even they don't know what's inside when they send it. You can take it back and see for yourself."
Chen Chuan thought to himself that the Serpent Sect knew how to do business. No wonder, with so many old sects, only the Serpent Sect could stand tall in Central City."
Cao Guiqi added, "The medicine from the Green Bag Jade Workshop has also arrived. Since you're here today, you can take it with the treasure ointment later. There are ten pills in total, and you're required to consume them within three months. Please do so at your own pace."
Chen Chuan replied, "Thank you, Senior Cao. I will."
With the matter settled, Cao Guiqi didn't keep him long. After Uncle Ding saw Zou Handan out, Chen Chuan bid farewell to Cao Guiqi. He took the medicine from the Green Bag Jade Workshop, the treasure ointment from Tiancong Hundred Herbs, and the box gifted by the Serpent Sect, and left.
Upon returning to the Xuan Gong Mansion from Ink Paste Mountain, Chen Chuan set the box from the Serpent Sect aside and opened the wooden medicine box from the Green Bag Jade Workshop.
When he opened it with both hands, the first thing that caught his eye was a beautifully embroidered silk handkerchief. On it was a dark green bag, almost black, with a red cord tied around it, creating a graceful swirl outside, blending into a bluish-green hue. The scene was both unique and pleasing to the eye.
Chen Chuan had seen similar items before and was familiar with them. He immediately used a Boundary Token to observe the handkerchief for a while and soon found himself on the Green Bag Jade Workshop's platform.
He was immediately welcomed to the Green Bag Jade Workshop's trial medicine group and informed that members could enjoy discounts on the workshop's medicines anywhere.
As instructed, Chen Chuan carefully reviewed the instructions, which detailed the medication process and the subsequent reporting requirements. The trial participants were expected to use their Boundary Vessel to record their experiences during the medication process and then accurately fill out the corresponding forms. Alternatively, they could directly connect their Boundary Vessel to the platform and provide feedback on their experiences.
Additionally, the instructions included a breathing technique, emphasizing that while learning it was optional, the information should not be disclosed without permission. Intrigued, Chen Chuan carefully studied the introduction and realized that if a fighter understood the Energy Point Breathing Technique, mastering this breathing method would be relatively straightforward.
Upon mastering it, not only would one be able to clearly identify the precise changes in altered tissues after taking the medication, but they would also become aware of subtle changes in various parts of the body.
Since this was not mandatory, Chen Chuan suspected that not many people would take the time to practice it. However, he found it highly useful, especially considering the extensive coverage of his altered tissues. Gaining a more detailed understanding of his body would undoubtedly be beneficial.
He searched for the breathing technique on Wu Yi's platform but couldn't find it. This wasn't surprising, as Wu Yi wasn't the only institution in the world that trained fighters, and there were likely many breathing techniques and martial arts that hadn't been recorded.
After signing the viewing agreement, Chen Chuan studied the technique in detail. With his solid foundation, he quickly grasped the method by the evening.
Now, it was time to officially take the medication.
He put on the accompanying biomembrane gloves, opened the medicine box, and took out a pill. It was an oral medication with a pale green surface, emitting a refreshing scent that invigorated the mind.
After a quick glance, he activated the field information recording function of his Boundary Vessel and swallowed the pill with water.
Initially, he didn't feel anything, but after a while, a scorching power surged through his entire body. His breathing became rapid, and his heart started beating faster.
A few minutes later, his eyes brightened, and various scents filled his nose. He also perceived more ambient noise, and his mind became clearer.
However, this state only lasted for about half an hour before his muscles and bones began to ache, and his skin exhibited slight swelling. An hour later, he felt a deep itch in his bones, and all his altered tissues were excited and restless, reminding him of his first training session, but this sensation was much stronger.
He checked the second mirror and noticed no signs of virtualization, indicating no harm. It was also possible that his current physical condition was robust enough that the side effects of the medication no longer had a significant impact on him.
This time, he didn't remove his perception, as it would allow for better feedback. Since he had agreed to be a trial participant, he was willing to provide appropriate feedback.
Chen Chuan then recorded his experiences and the reactions in various parts of his body in detail and submitted them to the Jade Bag Pharmacy.
