Fifteen minutes later, Shen Qiang, who had obviously sensed that his True Qi had nearly recovered to eighty percent, was exceptionally elated, because according to the records of the dical Saint Inheritance, after taking a Guiyuan Pill, cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage could recover one hundred percent of their True Qi within an hour.
However, because the Guiyuan Pill, in the section regarding elixir pills in the dical Saint Inheritance, is considered an introductory-level elixir, the specific recovery ti varied from person to person, and depended on the quality of the pill—the records weren't detailed beyond this.
The Guiyuan Pill was not only useful for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage but was also beneficial for practitioners in the Yin God and Yang God Realms. Generally speaking, cultivators at the Yin God Realm could recover about half of their True Qi using the Guiyuan Pill.
For cultivators in the Yang God Realm, they could recover at most twenty percent of their True Qi and if it was the late stage of the Yang God Realm, essentially only around ten percent could be restored.
As for soone like Qian Shanxue, who had already reached above the Mixed Elent Realm, the difference between taking and not taking the Guiyuan Pill was negligible. Even if it had any effect, it was almost inconsequential.
This situation was actually not surprising.
Presuming that the True Energy level of a Nascent Soul at its peak is one hundred.
The amount of True Qi a Guiyuan Pill could recover was also one hundred. So, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage, it would naturally refill their True Qi to full. For the Yin God Realm, let's assu it's two hundred; then a hundred would only cover half. For the Yang God Realm, with a True Energy level of five hundred, the Guiyuan Pill still restores one hundred, which naturally would be only twenty percent.
Assuming that one in the realm above Mixed Elent had a True Energy level of two thousand, a recovery of one hundred True Qi would not be useless per se, but it's definitely extrely limited. Supposing the Guiyuan Pill had a high market price, for such powerful cultivators, it would truly be an unnecessary luxury.
However, fortunately, although there were many cultivators, the vast majority had their realm cultivation concentrated below the Nascent Soul Stage.
Therefore, as soon as the Guiyuan Pill hit the auction, it would undoubtedly be in high demand.
Not only that, what made Shen Qiang ecstatic was that with the Guiyuan Pill, along with its effect of recovering around eighty percent of True Qi in about fifteen minutes, despite his cultivation being only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, Shen Qiang's True Qi seed almost inexhaustible no matter how much he used it.
Just like now.
Shen Qiang, who had refined elixir pills all night, was full of True Qi and radiant, without the slightest hint of fatigue from a night of labor.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to work,
Shen Qiang would regret not being able to refine a few more batches of pills.
"Master, this candy is really tasty!"
As Shen Qiang was excited, Jin Chan by his side was eagerly looking at the Guiyuan Pill Shen Qiang had placed in a transparent glass bottle and said, "It has a light sweet taste, but it's not too sweet."
Shen Qiang was instantly speechless, looking at Jin Chan helplessly, he said, "Silly girl, this single candy could buy you lots of little snacks. Whatever you want to eat, master will buy it for you."
Jin Chan's eyes imdiately lit up, "Jin Chan wants to eat osmanthus cake, cotton candy, frozen suckers, fruit milk, and also…"
Watching Jin Chan, with a serious face, almost listing every snack from a TV comrcial, Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, no problem. When master gets off work tonight, I'll bring them back for you."
"Long live the master!"
The incredibly beautiful Jin Chan was so excited that her face turned red.
After returning upstairs, taking a shower, and getting ready to change clothes to go outside for breakfast before work, Shen Qiang was humming a song in the shower.
anwhile, in a chat group that gathered over two hundred descendants of various dical families, the conversation was lively.
Four Symbols Needle Technique, "At the ti, my great-uncle simply waved his hand proudly, and one thousand and fifty-three silver needles instantly covered the patient's entire body. At a glance, they seed haphazard, just like a clueless brat practicing throwing needles. I was thinking right then, 'This idiot, he dares to compare with ?'"
Baby is not happy, "Uh%... Are you sure the patient wasn't turned into a sieve?"
Xixi: "So scary, sounds like a cold-blooded assassin."
"Wu Cao, with a wave of his hand, you could see clearly that it was one thousand and fifty-three needles?"
"Exactly, you can tell he's just bragging."
At that mont, Four Symbols Needle Technique spoke again, "Just as I sneered at his overestimation, my grand-uncle snapped his fingers, and the interwoven silver needles instantly transford into branches, each with nine blossoms. Nine tis nine make eighty-one plum blossoms, forming the Flowers Opening Nine Branches. Each plum blossom had thirteen needles, totaling one thousand and fifty-three needles."
"Crap, thirteen needles make one blossom, eighty-one blossoms, just do the math and you're done, why get bogged down with details? Anyway, my grand-uncle is really aweso, hahaha, when it cos to acupuncture, none of the young people today can compete with him."
A brief silence followed.
Then ssages in the group chat exploded.
"Your little grand-uncle is so impressive, I really want to et him in person. Why don't you invite him into the group?"
"Yeah, and that guy is pretty handso too, with such amazing needle skills. Mama wants to flirt with him. I could beco your grand godmama by then!"
"Hahaha, bring him here quick, I also want to see if this guy is as amazing as you boast."
Amid the lively chat in the group, the chubby guy sitting at a small restaurant on the street eating breakfast was just coldly observing the ssages in the group, not wanting to say anything at all.
"Geng Liang, it seems, must have already secured his position as a permanent doctor at dical University Affiliated. That ans, in reality, there are only two spots left for us. Zhong Yongxi has already lost, Shen Qiang's surgical speed and technique are very powerful, so he's also unlikely to be eliminated. That leaves only and Zhong Yongxi, one of the two of us will have to go."
"And with Zhong Yongxi being a local, while I'm from another province and a stranger here, it won't be easy to beat him."
Thinking this, the chubby guy furrowed his brows, then closed the group chat.
Soon after, he saw soone had ssaged him privately.
"dical University Affiliated is tough, are you giving up?"
"Zhong Yongxi now keeps ntioning his grand-uncle, and that Shen Qiang at dical University Affiliated has pretty much a guaranteed win. Their Zhong Family dical Hall is an established brand, connected with many experts in the provincial dical field. The dean of dical University Affiliated is a regular at the Zhong Family dical Hall."
Seeing these ssages, the chubby guy's brows furrowed even tighter as he checked the person's profile, which was blank, and the account level was freshly registered.
After hesitating for a mont, the chubby guy picked up his phone and replied, "Who are you?"
The ssage had just been sent when the other side imdiately replied, "You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that if you don't want to co all this way only to return empty-handed, I am the only one who can help you."
The chubby guy furrowed his brows, and after a mont of silence, he typed quickly, "Why would you help ?"
"Because I want you to use your family's bone-setting skills to humiliate Shen Qiang, to humiliate the Xiao Ye Plum Blossom Needle Technique. As long as you can do that, I will not only do everything I can to help you stay at dical University Affiliated, but I will also gift you a nice storefront on the second ring and ensure the support from many dical families in the province, agreeing for you to open a dical hall here."
The chubby guy's eyes lit up, but his brows remained tightly knit.
After waiting for a bit without reply, the person on the other end added another line.
"You've traveled across three provinces to get here. Isn't it because your family has been suppressed and can't survive? Agree to my terms, and I guarantee you'll have a place in this province. If you refuse, be prepared to fail."
