Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Detailed Explanation of Pills

Zhou Ping was also deliberate about making Zhang Bufan the exclusive alchemist of the Zhou family. Although he had learned alchemy, it was impossible for him to specialize in alchemy in the family. At most, he could occasionally open the furnace. He hadn’t found an alchemy furnace suitable for him, and there was no way he wanted to do alchemy.

As for solely pursuing alchemy? Zhou Ping could only hehe. A pale golden technique was not so powerful yet.

Pushing open the door and returning to his room, Zhou Ping sat on the bed, spreading out the alchemy book he had obtained.

“Ding… It is detected that the host possesses the purple technique “Essence of Alchemy.” Do you want to optimize it?” After a rough scan, the system asked if it was to be optimized.

“Deduction optimization.”

“The deduction optimization begins… The deduction optimization ends…

“As a result of the deduction, the purple exercise “Essence of Alchemy” has been optimized to the pseudo-golden exercise “Detailed Explanation of Pills””

“Sure enough, the final product is still the pseudo-golden technique.” Zhou Ping sighed.

“Ding…Does the host want to use promotion value to learn the technique?”

“No.” Zhou Ping didn’t reject the system because he didn’t want to learn it, but because he didn’t have enough promotion value.

“It seems that we must find a way to get some promotion value.” Zhou Ping felt a hint of urgency.

Since he had no promotion value, then he had to study by himself. Fortunately, Zhou Ping had learned the “True Solution of Pills” before, and it was not difficult to read “Detailed Explanation of Pills”.

The content of the “Detailed Explanation of Pills” was similar to the “True Solution of Pills”, the only difference was the technique and the pill prescription attached to it.

“True Solution of Pills” was better at refining with martial fire, and it took less time to refine a pill. The “Detailed Explanation of Pills” paid more attention to the coordination of various heat conditions, and the pill refining time was longer, but the effect was better.

The difference in techniques did not actually have much impact. Zhou Ping paid more attention to the recipes.

There were two pill recipes attached to “Detailed Explanation of Pills”, namely, the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Body Tempering Pill. The Spirit Gathering Pill could greatly increase the internal strength, and the Body Tempering Pill could make the physical body stronger. The “Detailed Explanation of Pills” was accompanied by four pill recipes, namely Jiedu Pill, Ethereal Pill, Bigu Pill, and Star Spirit Pill.

Jiedu Pill could cure hundreds of toxins and was not bad. Ethereal Pills were mainly used to repair the hidden injuries of the body. If the hidden injuries of the body were cured, internal strength would naturally improve. For the Bigu Pill, it would allow a person not to be hungry for a day. As for this Star Spirit Pill…

Zhou Ping was silent for a while.

“The star spirit pill could open the star aperture. What is this star aperture? Although most of the ingredients needed are rare, I’ve at least heard about them before. However, I’ve never heard of the star spirit stone. Forget it. I’ll ask around when I have the time.”

Putting the books away, Zhou Ping looked up. There was a ray of light on the horizon.

“It’s already dawn? It seems that I have been into alchemy for too long.”

With Zhou Ping’s current physical fitness, even if he didn’t sleep for a month, there would be no problem. Similarly, if he slept for a month, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Pushing the door open, Zhou Ping took a bath. After washing up, Zhou Ping didn’t go to his room, but went to the practice room.

There was no routine. He just punched wherever. Zhou Ping stretched his fist and kicked for a while. When he started to move, he took a big sword from the weapon rack beside him.

“Ha!” He exhaled, and the big sword flashed, suddenly turning into a blade of light.

“No attack. Surprise attack. The battle is settled…”

The sword technique would make people feel chilly. Zhou Ping stopped after using sword techniques three times.

“They haven’t come out yet?” Zhou Ping suddenly spoke.

“No.” Li Xiaoyi was startled.

When I came to the practice room and saw someone practicing the sword, Li Xiaoyi originally planned to leave. But after a glance, Li Xiaoyi couldn’t look away.

“The Eight Methods in the Well” was a purple technique, but with Li Xiaoyi’s background, how could she have seen the purple technique? In an instant, Li Xiaoyi was hooked. So when Zhou Ping stopped, he found Li Xiaoyi looking longingly at him.

“What is that sword technique?” Li Xiaoyi asked without hesitation, her face full of excitement.

“The Eight Methods in the Well.” Zhou Ping had no reason to hide it.

“The Eight Methods in the Well? What a strange name.” Li Xiaoyi looked at Zhou Ping, blinking.

“You can’t learn this sword technique.” Zhou Ping shook his head.

“Why?” Li Xiaoyi was taken aback.

“There is no reason. If you can’t cultivate it, then you can’t cultivate it.” Zhou Ping was too lazy to explain.

“Do you hate me…” Li Xiaoyi stared at Zhou Ping. “I know that I’m just a slave you won through a bet. I have nothing except appearance. I have no background, no knowledge, low cultivation base, and mediocre talent. Even in appearance, Xu Xiaoxuan and Huo Churou are no worse than me. I am just your plaything.”

Li Xiaoyi wanted to cry, but she held back her tears.

Once upon a time, she thought she was the proud daughter of heaven. Before taking the exam, she was admitted to a prestigious school. There were countless people surrounding her on a daily basis. But when she arrived at Yanping, she realized that she was just a frog at the bottom of the well. These days, none of the people she met looked at her with straight eyes.

Such a life was not what she wanted. If this continued, she didn’t know how long she could hold on.

Zhou Ping looked at Li Xiaoyi with tears rolling in his eyes. He was silent for a while. He really didn’t consider Li Xiaoyi.

Perhaps, it was time to consider solving her problem.

“What do you want to do?” Zhou Ping asked.

Li Xiaoyi said sadly, “Does it matter what I want to do? I’m just a plaything.”

“Well, I really ignored you.” Zhou Ping paused. “I won’t deny it. It’s my mistake. If you patiently wait for two days, I will find a technique that suits you.”

Zhou Ping just finished speaking when a cell phone rang. Li Xiaoyi wanted to say something, but she endured it when she heard the ringtone.

Zhou Ping took out his cell phone and connected to the phone.

“Zhou Ping, something happened to the Hua family. Come here!” Huo Chuorou’s anxious voice sounded over the phone.

“Don’t worry.” Zhou Ping’s heart sank. “What happened to the Hua family?”

“The Zhang family attacked the door of the Hua family earlier in the morning.” Huo Churou was no longer anxious.

“What? The Zhang family is so bold.” Zhou Ping could feel anger rising to his head. “I will go to Hua family now.”

With a “pop”, he hung up. Zhou Ping went straight to the door.
