Zui’Er stood in place clutching his head, not understanding why Ya had hit him.
Night falls.
Zhao Ya stood in the courtyard, opening the brocade box gifted by Song Peiwan, discovering it was filled with dried at.
A rich aroma of at wafted straight into his nostrils.
In an instant, Zhao Ya’s stomach and intestines began to churn wildly, as if demanding, give a bite, just one bite!
Zhao Ya cald himself, picked up a piece of dried at for inspection.
This dried at was different from the Cured Bamboo at, its luster was radiant and slightly translucent, akin to jade.
Zhao Ya realized that this must be a higher-grade Exotic Beast Dried at than the Cured Green Bamboo Snake.
Sure enough, there was a small line of words written on the inner lid of the brocade box.
Jade Brocade Snake.
Zhao Ya placed a piece of Jade Brocade Snake into his mouth, chewing a few tis before swallowing.
Imdiately, Zhao Ya felt as if he had swallowed a sun made of Qi Blood, as pure Qi Blood surged forth uncontrollably.
No matter how frantically the Water Valley Essence Talent absorbed, the overflow did not show any sign of slowing.
Zhao Ya let out a low moan, both painful yet pleasurable, as the Heart Devotion and Red Transformation Talent also activated.
His heart beat like a war drum, driving Qi Blood throughout his body.
Struck by inspiration, Zhao Ya imdiately guided Qi Blood according to the Golden Body Technique towards his skin.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ya felt his entire body swell up.
It was as if he had beco an inflated balloon, ready to explode at any mont.
Without hesitation, Zhao Ya began to temper his body according to the Golden Body Technique to promote Qi Blood absorption.
After completing the entire set of movents, the feeling of swelling finally subsided, replaced by a sense of fulfillnt.
[Golden Body Technique Proficiency 3]
With this prompt, Zhao Ya felt an increase in his strength and reaction speed.
Although he was still far from advancing to the Fourth Realm, this was a positive change, proving that it was feasible to advance to the Fourth Realm using the Golden Body Technique.
The Jade Brocade Snake in his stomach was still being absorbed, continuing to emit pure Qi Blood.
Although the overflow was not as intense, it was still enough to prove the power of the Jade Brocade Snake.
These Qi Bloods couldn’t be wasted, so Zhao Ya began to practice the Eight Vajra Skills.
This cultivation technique had beco muscle mory for Zhao Ya, each movent executed effortlessly.
After completing a set of Eight Vajra Skills, a prompt appeared again.
[Eight Vajra Skills Proficiency 2]
[Liver Unlocking Progress 1%]
Unaffected, Zhao Ya moved right on to Five Tiger Fist, then Gale Saber Technique, Swallow’s Three Dips, Lightweight Grasshopper Skill...
Finally, upon finishing the Great Stone-Throwing Hand, the prompts flooded the screen.
[Five Tiger Fist Proficiency 19]
[Gale Saber Technique Proficiency 11]
[Swallow’s Three Dips Proficiency 9]
...
Zhao Ya stopped, exhaling a slow breath of foul air, realizing that the Qi Blood from the Jade Brocade Snake had been completely absorbed.
Opening the attribute panel again, there were changes in the data.

Not only had there been significant improvents in all skills, even his lifespan increased by a whole year.
And all of this stemd from just one piece of dried at, demonstrating the potency of the Jade Brocade Snake.
Zhao Ya finally realized the value of Song Peiwan’s gift.
Though the brocade box wasn’t large, it was packed with at least twenty or thirty pieces.
Zhao Ya estimated that at this level, Exotic Beast Dried at could not be bought for a hundred taels of silver a piece in the market.
Thus, the box of dried at was priceless.
Even if he had saved her life and now served as the Song Family’s Commander of the guards, such a cost to recruit seed excessive, didn’t it?
Or perhaps... she actually had other intentions?
Zhao Ya furrowed his brow, pondering this matter.
anwhile, Song Peiwan had returned to the rear residence.
Upon seeing her, Song Linqing sighed, "Did you take the Jade Brocade Snake from the storeroom?"
"Yep!" Song Peiwan nodded.
"You gave it all to that boy?"
"Exactly!" Song Peiwan nodded again, then said curiously.
"He’s moving today, I needed to bring a gift, right? That was just the right thing for him, so I gave it all to him. Why, brother? Is there a problem?"
Song Linqing was in disbelief, "Of course there’s a problem. The storeroom just complained, you took the entire stock which took over a month to accumulate, and you just took it all, isn’t that a bit much?"
"Weren’t you the one who said that his future was limitless and that our Song Family should nurture him well? Why be stingy when it cos ti to spend?" Song Peiwan retorted nonchalantly.
Song Linqing sighed, "It’s not about money, the key is that the Jade Brocade Snake was already pre-ordered by our regular custors. Now that you’ve taken it all, how am I supposed to explain to them? At least leave so!"
"That’s not my problem, you said to nurture him well, so I’m just following your orders. Don’t bla !" Song Peiwan laughed as she said this, then left with Xiaoman to return to her courtyard.
Just then, Song Linqing softly said, "Wan’Er, don’t forget you’re engaged to that young master from the Yang Family."
