Chapter 45: Deep Water Clam Pearls + Advanced Body-Forging Elixir
Chapter 45: Deep Water Clam Pearls + Advanced Body-Forging Elixir
Song Chi immediately moved closer.
"Dad, what are you looking at?"
Song Zhao glanced sideways at his son, didn't answer, and quickly turned back to the star map in front of him.
Seeing this, Song Chi turned to look at the kitchen, noting that his mother wasn't paying attention to the living room. He leaned in close to his father's ear and whispered,
"Dad, did you find out something specific about the titanium crystals?"
Song Zhao's expression remained calm as he said, "This isn't something you can be involved in. Focus on preparing for your third interstellar deployment."
Although his tone was indifferent, Song Chi, who had lived with his father for thirty years, knew him well. Normally, his dad was very easy-going, but when he got serious, his voice would become even more neutral. The decisions made during these times were never easily changed.
If he continued to press about the titanium crystals, Song Zhao might really get angry. The thought of his father's anger was enough to make Song Chi shut his mouth.
After lunch, he casually mentioned to his parents that he would be fully dedicating the next five to six days to practicing the Spirit Energy Guidance Technique. He told them not to worry if he didn't leave the house during this time.
Song Zhao and Chen Lixia nodded, not pressing for more details.
The Spirit Energy Guidance Technique, developed over tens of thousands of years by the Ember Human civilization and refined over nearly two hundred thousand years, had effects far beyond what one might imagine. While it didn't allow for the complete avoidance of eating and drinking like in web novels, it was quite normal to go without food or water for ten to fifteen days.
However, the rich blood energy found in food could further accelerate the practice of the Spirit Energy Guidance Technique, so most people still ate normally.
Before returning to his bedroom, Song Chi tentatively asked his father,
" Dad, do we have any way to get an advanced body-forging elixir?"
It was a casual question, but deep down, he still harbored a bit of hope about the "Dinghai Song Clan" his father had mentioned. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Song Chi immediately felt he was overthinking it.
If the "Dinghai Song Clan" truly had significant influence, why hadn't he received any "noble descendant" treatment in the past thirty years?
Or had the Dinghai Song Clan been reduced to just a high-level visualization diagram?
But Song Zhao's next words took Song Chi by surprise.
"An advanced body-forging elixir? You need one of those?"
"The effects of such a high-level elixir are strong, but the physical requirements are also high. Usually, only those at Level 10 or above in the Spirit Energy Guidance Technique can use it. Are you sure you want to try now?"
Coming out of his daze, Song Chi asked again, uncertainly,
"Dad, are you saying you can actually get one?"
Song Zhao shook his head.
"It's not about whether I can get one; I already have one. If you want it, go get it. It's in the bookshelf on the right in the study."
As he spoke, he tossed a key to Song Chi and asked again to confirm,
"Are you sure you can use it? The effects of an advanced body-forging elixir are too potent. If your physical constitution isn't strong enough, it won't just fail to accelerate your training; it could also harm you."
"I found a few deep water clam pearls over three hundred years old during this interstellar exploration. It should be fine."
Hearing Song Chi's response, Song Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Deep water clam pearls over three hundred years old are quite rare. Although they're a bit young, they should work. Go get it."
“
Originally, I planned to give you these when you reached the first level in your Guiding Technique. Since you've had the luck to find a few deep-water clam pearls with considerable age, it's better to use them now. The advanced body-strengthening potion will be even more effective."
Song Chi excitedly ran to the study, using the key his father gave him to open the bookshelf. He successfully retrieved an elegant potion box, which contained only three vials. The markings and colors on the edges of the vials clearly indicated they were advanced body-strengthening potions.
Looking at the three exquisite purple vials, Song Chi's eyes widened in awe. From this moment on, the name "Dinghai Song Clan" took on a different significance for him.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to take all three vials.
He still had five deep-water clam pearls. The two with 700 and 900 years of age could each be paired with an advanced body-strengthening potion, while the other three 300-year-old pearls he planned to use together to neutralize one advanced potion.
Compared to the effects of a single advanced potion, a single 300-year-old pearl was clearly not enough to neutralize its potent properties. However, using all three together would do the job.
Moreover, using them together wouldn't waste their effects; it would just extend the duration of the potion's effects.
"Father, I'm taking them all."
Song Chao nodded lightly, indicating his agreement, while his mother, who stood to the side, gave another round of instructions.
"Son, don't push yourself too hard. Use them carefully. If your body can't handle it, stop immediately."
"I understand, Mother."
...
With the three advanced body-strengthening potions in hand, Song Chi eagerly returned to the market.
In the all-attribute training room, after adjusting his body to its optimal state, he swallowed the vial containing the mixture of three 300-year-old deep-water clam pearl powders and the advanced body-strengthening potion.
Instantly, a burning sensation spread through his abdomen, followed by a powerful surge of energy from his stomach, rapidly flooding his entire body.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
His bones emitted a series of faint popping sounds, which sounded alarming but felt surprisingly manageable to Song Chi. Rather than the unbearable pain and tearing sensation, he experienced a tingling sensation all over his body.
Correspondingly, the flow of energy into his body became even more astonishing. If the intermediate body-strengthening potion, mixed with a single 300-year-old pearl, had increased his training speed to 60, the advanced potion now boosted it to 100.
This speed, while not drastically different from before, extended the potion's effects for a full three days—three times as long as the previous one.
Three days later, when Song Chi awoke from his training, his Energy Guiding Technique had advanced from level 5 to level 6, and he had made significant progress toward level 7.
Tasting the benefits, Song Chi didn't stop there. He immediately took out the second advanced body-strengthening potion and added the powder from the 700-year-old deep-water clam pearl.
Once thoroughly mixed, he swallowed it in one go.
This potion was even more potent, and this time, Song Chi's body wasn't just tingling; it was also experiencing a significant amount of pain. Fortunately, his body could still handle it.
However, Song Chi knew that he couldn't use the 900-year-old pearl anytime soon, unless he wanted to risk his entire body's blood vessels bursting and leaving him with permanent, incurable damage.
