Chapter 119: How About Making Another Deal?

He refined all two hundred Force Light Points of the Acupoint, and Jiang Cheng also transferred the Force Light Points he actively absorbed into the Acupoint, proving the hypothesis feasible.

After refining all the Force, Jiang Cheng slowly exhaled.

Next, he will wait for Spiritual Power to recover, so he can perform the next active absorption.

But this interval must be at least six or seven hours.

"It's time to go find Shi Yan."

Jiang Cheng got down from the bed, crouched under it, and took out his briefcase.

He counted twenty thousand yuan.

Five thousand to repay the previous debt.

Ten thousand to purchase the next part.

The remaining five thousand to buy all the Secret Medicine Shi Yan has.

At this point, he intends to lay his cards on the table, tell the other side that he has already sensed the Force, and ask whether he has any Cultivation Method that enhances Spiritual Power.

As for opening the first Acupoint, that will remain confidential for now.

When leaving, Jiang Cheng remained vigilant, even circling around to see if any Iron Fist Gang members had sent someone to watch him covertly.

After confirming nothing was amiss, he walked to Shi Yan's house entrance; the door was closed, so he knocked.

"Who is it?"

Shi Yan's voice sounded from inside.

"It's me, Brother Shi."

"Oh, it's Xiao Cheng, you've come."

The sound of a lock being opened came from inside, the door opened, revealing Shi Yan's warm, radiant smile, "Come in, come in."

After entering, Shi Yan invited Jiang Cheng to sit at the table, poured a bowl of hot water for him, and placed it before him.

"Xiao Cheng, have you used up the bottle of Secret Medicine you bought last time? Hehe, I just finished making a bottle yesterday; if you want it, I'll fetch it for you."

"Is there only one bottle?"

Jiang Cheng asked.

"Hmm?"

Shi Yan was startled, turned to look at Jiang Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, what do you mean?"

"I want all the remaining Secret Medicine."

Shi Yan felt an instant joy; after Jiang Cheng bought the second bottle, he had already prepared the remaining four bottles, just waiting for Jiang Cheng to purchase them.

"Xiao Cheng, are you sure?"

He immediately sensed something off, "I have four bottles on hand; at a price of one thousand yuan per bottle, that totals four thousand yuan."

If these four bottles are included, Jiang Cheng has spent six thousand yuan on Secret Medicine this month, yet still owes the five thousand yuan.

"Brother Shi, this time I'm here not only to buy the four bottles of Secret Medicine you have, but also the next part of the Secret Martial Arts, and the five thousand I owe, I will also repay you now."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Shi Yan was stunned.

Is there such a good thing?

If calculated that way, wouldn't I earn twenty thousand today? "I've already brought the money, Brother Shi, you can count it later."

Having become a Level One Force Warrior, Jiang Cheng's confidence surged, unafraid of any ill intentions from the other side.

Seeing two bundles of hundred-yuan notes placed on the table, Shi Yan felt his heart about to leap out.

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right now."

From behind the curtain came a rustling sound and murmuring.

A short while later, Shi Yan came over holding two small booklets and four little bottles.

"Xiao Cheng, this is the latter half of the Fist Technique and Cultivation Method; you can train from Proficient to Mastery, Great Completion, and full fulfillment. As before, copy a copy of the Cultivation Method and take it back; I can lend you the Fist Manual to look at, and remember to return it after reading."

"These four bottles of Secret Medicine are the last four I have; after they're used up, I have no ingredients left to make more."

Shi Yan sighed,

"It's best to use them sparingly; if you still don't feel anything, perhaps wait a few days and search for a feeling, maybe that will even allow Entry."

"Hmm, thanks Brother Shi for the reminder, but I've already achieved Entry," Jiang Cheng said with a smile. "It's fine, I also just... what?"

Shi Yan suddenly lifted his head; he seemed to have just heard something remarkable.

"Xiao Cheng, what did you just say? You?"

"That's right, I said my Broken Jade Fist has already reached Entry and can sense the Force."

"Snap!"

It seemed like something fell to the ground, a sound coming from behind the curtain.

Shi Yan's eyes widened, his mind went blank.

Jiang Cheng had long anticipated this reaction, smiling as he looked at him.

After a while, Shi Yan came to his senses and cautiously asked, "X-Xiao Cheng, what you said, is it true? Did you really sense the Force?"

"Otherwise..."

Jiang Cheng looked at the two booklets on the table.

Shi Yan was stunned.

Indeed.

If I haven't sensed it, there seems to be no need to purchase the next part, right?

But Jiang Cheng has only had the Cultivation Method for a few days?

It seems not even a week, right? To have reached Entry and sense the Force already? And myself?

Back then I spent several months, the Secret Medicine never ran out, my body did indeed strengthen a bit, yet I still haven't sensed the Force.

Is this the gap between people? "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng."

Shi Yan instantly stood up from the stool, leaning forward, his eyes eager, "You, can you teach me? Teach me how to sense the Force? If you can teach me Entry, I can give you all these things, and, and…"

"And what?"

Jiang Cheng realized that what the other side mentioned afterwards might be the thing he was truly interested in.

"And, I can tell you how to get into the Outer City District Black Market."

Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

Shi Yan indeed knew how to get into the Black Market.

"Sorry, Brother Shi."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, "I don't want to deceive you. To be honest, I also want to give you Entry, but I can't. At most I can share some of my experience with you, and these things, you actually already know."

"Yeah, these things, I already know."

Shi Yan, like a punctured balloon, sagged and sat back on the bench.

Just as with spirituality, not every Force Warrior possesses it, nor can every ordinary person sense the Force and gain the chance to overturn destiny.

"Sorry, Xiao Cheng, I thought too much."

Shi Yan came to his senses and gave Jiang Cheng a wry smile.

"It's fine, Brother Shi, count the money; it should be twenty thousand. After counting, just give me one thousand."

"Alright, alright."

Shi Yan nodded repeatedly.

After a while, Shi Yan finished counting the money and pushed the remaining one thousand in front of Jiang Cheng.

"Xiao Cheng, thank you."

He said sincerely, "With this money, my family's life will be much better, and we won't have to worry about being driven out if we fail to earn money in any month."

"Brother Shi, no need to be formal; this is exactly what we agreed on."

Jiang Cheng paused, "Earlier Brother Shi mentioned knowing the way to get into the Black Market; is that true?"

Shi Yan was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly, "Then how about we make another deal?"
