Su Que, while feeling the dicinal power of the elixir, circulated True Qi throughout his body to check his physical condition.
According to Elder Qingxuan, many martial artists who consud elixirs using tal as a dicinal guide suffered damage to their ridians, acupoints, and body organs.
So martial artists even died directly after consuming such elixirs.
Su Que circulated True Qi through his body several tis.
He confird that aside from making his Qi and blood flow more rapidly and his physical vitality stronger, the elixir had no other harm to him.
Perhaps his physique was special, extrely suitable for consuming this kind of elixir.
Or his body was so strong that the side effects of the elixir couldn’t affect him at all.
"No need to think so much about it, better to go ho first."
After returning to his stash in the cave, Su Que imdiately changed into loose scholar’s robes, took the elixir, and headed back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
...
After returning ho, Su Que still did not see Su Jing.
He checked the kitchen and Su Jing’s room. Based on the traces left in the kitchen and room, he guessed that Su Jing had not been ho for two or three days.
"Maybe she really went to look for ."
"I’ll wait a few days. If she doesn’t find for a while, perhaps she’ll co back to check."
"If she still hasn’t returned after three or four days, then I’ll leave a note at ho and go look for her."
Having made up his mind, Su Que stopped overthinking, boiled water, took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and went out.
At that ti, the Heaven-Breaking Army was still tidying up the aftermath on the street where they had just fought with the Tang Sect people.
They had roughly finished cleaning up the aftermath.
The bloodstains on the street were basically cleaned up by them.
A squad of soldiers was repairing the houses damaged by the Tang Sect people.
However, so residents nearby the street seed afraid of another incident, so they did not dare to return ho for the ti being.
The street was cold and deserted at that mont.
Su Que glanced briefly and then left, entering a famous tavern in Jiannan Prefecture City.
Ever since reaching the Peak of Divine Realm, his body could convert Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the energy needed for physical activities.
He no longer felt hunger, so he didn’t need to eat large quantities of food like before.
He ca to this tavern solely because he rembered the water-boiled beef, spicy tripe, wet chili beef, and other dishes there.
He didn’t need to fill his stomach as before, but he still had the desire to indulge his taste buds.
"Please co in, sir. Would you like to sit on the first floor or in a private room?"
Seeing Su Que enter, the tavern attendant enthusiastically greeted him.
"The first floor will do."
Su Que no longer needed to eat and drink excessively and had nothing to hide.
He wanted to enjoy the atmosphere, so he opted to sit on the first floor.
"Alright, this way!"
The tavern attendant led Su Que to a table polished clean and bright.
After Su Que sat down, the attendant wiped it again with the cloth draped over his shoulder, then diligently poured tea for Su Que and asked what he would like to eat.
Su Que listed the nas of dishes, ntioning all his favorite foods.
Lastly, he ordered a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green.
"Alright!"
The attendant noted it down, then quickly instructed the chef to prepare the dishes.
At the sa ti, he called another attendant to serve Su Que the wine.
Soon, another attendant brought over a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green and a porcelain wine cup.
The attendant was about to pour wine for Su Que, but Su Que stopped him: "Little brother, I can pour myself."
After the attendant left, Su Que picked up the wine pot and poured into the cup.
The wine flowed from the spout.
The golden-green Bamboo Leaf Green swirled as it poured into the cup.
Su Que sipped the wine while listening to the diners on the first floor chatting.
The diners on the first floor were talking, each offering their own words and chatting about everything from here to afar.
The sound was noisy and bustling with excitent.
So spoke loudly, while others whispered privately.
However, with Su Que’s excellent hearing, no matter how softly or far away they spoke, he could hear their words clearly.
"Have you heard recently? Ever since the mysterious disappearance of several noble family patriarchs from the Central Plains, the Court’s power to govern locally has greatly weakened."
"The White Lotus Sect has beco active again, taking over several territories previously occupied by noble families."
"So local military leaders have also been killed by believers of the White Lotus Sect."
Hearing this, Su Que glanced nonchalantly at the person speaking.
The speaker had a square face, slightly bulging temples, and calloused hands, clearly a martial artist.
Without sensing it, he knew this martial artist was rely at the Qi Blood Realm.
Because calluses and bulging temples were training marks only found on martial artists at the Qi Blood Realm.
After reaching the ridian Opening Realm, a martial artist’s calluses and bulging temples would gradually disappear.
Sitting beside this martial artist was a person with a thin face, whose temples also showed signs of martial training.
After hearing the martial artist, he whispered:
"Why do you think those patriarchs of noble families disappeared for no reason? Could it be that there are so strange and filthy things in this world!"
"Hard to say, perhaps there really are!" the martial artist said. "But if we live righteously, we need not fear ghosts knocking at our door!"
The thin-faced martial artist trembled upon hearing this, lowering his voice further: "But we ambushed our master and stole the secret manual..."
"Hey!"
The square-faced martial artist waved his hand:
"Our master is already about to step into the coffin, and he still hides and hoards martial arts skills..."
"In the martial arts world, everyone should train!"
