Chapter 16: Jade Skin

The night in the other world was exceptionally quiet, and the starry sky was exceptionally brilliant.

Inside the temporary camp.

Fang Xing drank a full pot of fish soup and began to practice the Long Xiang Gong.

Under the dual effect of the mysterious environment of the other world and the nourishing fish soup, his progress in body refining grew rapidly.

Time didn't know how long it had passed, when the flashing computer screen suddenly froze and emitted a mechanical sound:

【Beep, task completed!】

"Sure enough, adding books as samples, the cracking progress is fast…"

Fang Xing came to the computer and clicked on the file, and saw one other-world character after another, with corresponding Federation text next to it, as well as pronunciation annotations.

It could be said that he had obtained an other-world dictionary, and it was an audio version.

"Besides that, the information discussed by those farmers daily can also be understood, obtaining some outlines, which can help me better understand this world…"

His eyes lit up, and he began to learn foreign languages.

For Fang Xing, learning foreign languages was a quite happy thing, especially since this also represented huge benefits!

"First of all, this is the Great Wilderness, and there exist beings known as 'Cultivators'!"

"Cultivators! Can refine talismans, pills, and magic weapons, can cast spells… and even after reaching a high realm, can extend life, until moving mountains and filling seas, and enjoying longevity?"

"Even just a Cultivator at the Qi Condensation Stage is stronger than an innate martial artist… hmm, the local name for the Unpolished Jade martial artist in this world is 'Innate'…"

"A hundred miles away, there is a workshop for Cultivators, named 'Green Forest Workshop', with ten thousand Cultivators and countless mortals…"

"It is said that 'Green Forest Workshop' was built not long ago, and it was built by a powerful Cultivator force to open up the Great Wilderness, migrating a large number of Cultivators and mortals, and forcibly establishing it… therefore, the surrounding environment is very dangerous, and if you are not a martial artist, you almost have no ability to survive."

"The martial arts in this world are also very simple, just Postnatal, Innate…"

"But no matter how strong an Innate martial artist is, against a Qi Condensation Cultivator who is well-prepared, there is only a dead end…"

"Speechless, when can martial arts stand up?"

The approximate information obtained from these days of monitoring was just like this, making Fang Xing very speechless.

After understanding the background, he immediately looked at the ancient book.

According to the cracking, the four characters on the cover were "Pill Dao Appraisal," and the content inside described the appearance and medicinal properties of some common pills in Green Forest Workshop, as well as some simple identification methods.

Fang Xing took out the three jade bottles and compared them one by one, discovering that one bottle was Golden Sore Medicine, and one bottle was Detoxification Pill.

As for the last unopened one, it was "Blood and Qi Pill"!

"According to the book, Postnatal martial artists taking 'Blood and Qi Pill' can strengthen blood and Qi, refine the skin, membrane, tendons, and bones of the whole body… progress is rapid…"

"I still don't believe it; I'll test it with poison test paper and white mice later."

Fang Xing turned a page, and his breathing suddenly became a bit rapid.

He saw a description of a brand-new pill: "Innate Pill! White in color, fragrant… taking it can strengthen the Qi of the five internal organs and six entrails, helping Postnatal martial artists break through to the Innate Realm?"

"This kind of 'Innate Pill' can actually assist in breaking through to the Unpolished Jade Realm?"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up.

The martial arts realm of the Blue Star Federation, the first realm of skin and flesh, the second realm of tendons and bones… is almost equivalent to the Postnatal realm of the other world.

After the tendon and bone realm is perfect, martial artists must refine their own five internal organs and six entrails, strengthen their internal breath, and polish it to perfection inside and out, as perfect as jade, so it is called the "Unpolished Jade Realm"!

But this step is very difficult!

So difficult that Xia Long felt that it was very difficult for a university student to appear in the class at present!

"But now, just one pill is enough…"

"The Blue Star Federation must also have medicine or other equipment to assist second-realm martial artists in breaking through to the third realm… but I can't get it! The resources required are too large, and the gain is not worth the loss…"

"But in this other world, it may not be so."

In Fang Xing's eyes, a certain flame suddenly burned, looking at the "Blood and Qi Pill": "First… need to verify the medicinal properties of the pills in this world, as well as the toxic reactions…"

He thought for a while, put on a mask, and opened the bottle stopper.

In the jade bottle, there were a total of ten pills as red as blood.

"Blood and Qi Pill, martial artists only need to take one pill each time they practice, and the medicinal effect can last for several days!"

"I always feel that the efficacy of the pills in this world is so sufficient; this is not because the process is advanced, it is purely because they are not afraid of waste, and they are piled up with resources!"

Fang Xing first took out a Blood and Qi Pill and identified it according to the method of "Dan Dao Dantao Pingjian."

"According to the book, many Cultivators and martial artists dare not eat pills of unknown origin, so truly good pills have marks on the bottom of the bottle, and there are spiritual talismans and wax seals on the bottle body… once opened, there must be traces left, as a simple anti-counterfeiting mark."

He looked at the bottom of the jade bottle and sure enough found a green leaf mark.

"This should be the mark of a famous merchant in the workshop, representing credibility… but I don't believe it!"

Especially since this "Dan Dao Dantao Pingjian" came from that unlucky guy, it doesn't exclude the possibility of the other party faking it.

Faking a poison pill into a Blood and Qi Pill, and then attaching an instruction manual!

If it is really like this, then that female martial artist is really a talent!

'Even if the major forces that forged the mark pursue it afterwards, the person is already dead…'

Fang Xing thought for a while, took out the toxin test paper, tested every Blood and Qi Pill first, and found that everything was normal.

He returned to Fledgling Star and bought a cage of white mice online.

The logistics came very quickly. Fang Xing looked at the lively and cute white mice, unhurriedly scraped some debris from the pills, and then determined the dosage according to the comparison between the human weight and the white mouse weight.

This step is very critical!

Otherwise, in terms of the dosage eaten by humans, even if it is a life-saving medicine, it is possible to poison the white mice to death!

……

The next day.

Fang Xing got up, looked at the white mice, and found that they were all jumping around.

Squeak!

Squeak!

One white mouse after another was scurrying, hitting and biting the iron cage, as if there was a lot of energy in the body that could not be vented.

"Hmm, they are all very energetic… I'll send you to eat berries over there another day!"

He nodded, carefully put away the "Blood and Qi Pill," and went directly to school.

Although both tests didn't find any problems.

But just in case, Fang Xing still decided to take the medicine next to the infirmary, so that even if something happened, it would be easy to rescue.

'I seem to… think of human nature too darkly.'

'But even so, my life is more important than anything else…'

If it weren't for seeing the news of the Innate Pill this time, preparing to verify the effect of the other-world pills, Fang Xing wouldn't be so radical.

He came to Yucai High School and skipped Lan Fei's cultural class directly.

Now this projected female teacher could no longer shake his state of mind in the slightest.

Outside the infirmary.

Fang Xing found an open space and reached out to yawn.

Silently, a Blood and Qi Pill was covered by his palm and sent directly into his mouth.

"Hot, so hot!"

The pill entered his abdomen, and Fang Xing first felt waves of heat generated from his lower abdomen, reaching his limbs and bones.

A steady stream of blood and Qi was generated, making his face flush red, his body skin tight, and the blue veins underneath twisting like earthworms.

His whole person seemed to have turned into a blood and Qi furnace, urgently needing to find a direction to vent.

The next moment, Fang Xing immediately set up the "Long Xiang Gong"!

The proficient-level Long Xiang Gong, when displayed, had a charm like flowing clouds and water.

As a pile skill painstakingly developed by the Blue Star Federation, most suitable for refining skin and flesh, Fang Xing felt the difference in an instant.

The vigorous blood and Qi in his body seemed to have found a vent for the mountain torrent, and immediately began to erupt fiercely.

The skin began to crack, and even blood beads seeped out…

On the attribute panel, the (Refining Skin: 99/100) in the realm column flickered and immediately changed to (Refining Skin: 100/100)!

"Skin refining is perfect!"

Fang Xing's heart moved, his whole skin tightened, as if it became solid in an instant, like cowhide, and also emitted a brass luster.

The next moment, a large amount of blood and Qi was consumed, but the brass luster gradually faded, turning into a feeling of "fair as jade."

"This is… Jade Skin? Clearly my pile skill hasn't broken through yet?"

"No, this is equivalent to forcibly breaking through using a large amount of resources; it doesn't matter if the pile skill can't keep up… The resources consumed by this one Blood and Qi Pill may be above ten or a hundred 'D3-level nutrient solutions'!"

"The resources of the other world are truly abundant…"

The jade-like radiance covering Fang Xing's skin flickered slightly, and then disappeared without a trace.

As the "Jade Skin" of perfect skin refining, the external performance is only that the skin is a little fairer, but in fact, Fang Xing felt as if he was wearing a layer of armor, and could even actively unload force.

"Just one Blood and Qi Pill… actually let me walk so far in flesh refining?"

Fang Xing's eyes stared at the attribute column:

【Name: Fang Xing】

【Age: 16】

【Occupation: Martial Artist】

【First Realm: Skin and Flesh (Refining Flesh: 9/100)】

【Military Fist Twelve Styles: 10/100 (Proficient)】

【Long Xiang Gong: 35/100 (Proficient)】

【Gate of Heavens (Charging)】

……

"Long Xiang Gong also made rapid progress, but the key is the progress of flesh refining, actually jumping to 9%?"

Fang Xing pondered: "This may be because when refining the skin membrane before, it inevitably also exercised the muscles, and the more critical one is naturally the effect of the 'Blood and Qi Pill'."

"One pill is like this, eating a whole bottle, perfect flesh refining should not be far… After all, the Blood and Qi Pill is originally for Postnatal martial artists to practice, and the so-called Postnatal of the other world actually includes the two realms of 'Skin and Flesh' and 'Tendons and Bones' of the Blue Star Federation!"

"That is to say, the Blood and Qi Pill has a great effect on second-realm tendon and bone martial artists, and it is a bit of a waste for me to eat it now…"

After exercising slightly, Fang Xing felt as if he had been reborn.

At least, the skin membrane is perfect, turning into Jade Skin, and this foundation is quite solid.

"Hmm, just in case, let's go for a physical examination and see…"

Fang Xing made a decision and walked towards the infirmary.

Just arrived at the door, another classmate walked towards him.

He stared and immediately raised his hand to say hello: "A-Wei?"

"A… A-Xing?"

Liu Wei saw Fang Xing and was startled.

"You are also here for the infirmary?"

Fang Xing nodded: "I'm here for a physical examination, how about you?"

"I… my stomach hurts!"

Liu Wei suddenly held his stomach: "No, you go first, I'll go to the toilet first…"

"Uh…"

Looking at the other party's back, Fang Xing shook his head and walked into the infirmary frankly.

He was already a "genius" recognized by Xia Long, and just perfect skin refining was nothing at all.

As for "Jade Skin"? As long as he didn't do relevant tests, the ordinary doctors in the infirmary naturally couldn't see any clues. ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
