Since Chen Chuan agreed, the matter was settled. Cheng Shang gestured to the cup of tea in front of Chen Chuan, "Have a taste." Chen Chuan had noticed earlier that the tea was amber in color, clear and bright. He picked it up and took a sip, and the warm and smooth taste quickly filled his mouth. After drinking it, he immediately felt a comfortable warmth throughout his body, and a distant, sweet aftertaste lingered between his teeth, lingering for a long time, refreshing his spirit. Cheng Shang also picked up his cup and took a sip, slowly saying, "If you find it delicious, you can take a packet back later; it helps to nourish the body." Chen Chuan heard his words as if implying that he often took medicine. He didn't explain, saying, "Then I won't be polite." He then asked Ni Qianxi, "Sister Ni, when is this Exchange Competition, do you know?" Ni Qianxi said, "The time is tentatively set for the next holiday. It will take up one day of your time. Of course, we won't just look for you alone; we'll find many students to learn from each other. However, that will be arranged at another time and won't conflict with you. I'll pick you up then." Chen Chuan said, "Okay, then I'll wait." Ni Qianxi then said, "Little Brother Chen, I have to tell you in advance, don't underestimate them just because they're not from the Academy. Their fundamentals are very solid. Everything the Academy can teach, they have also learned, and more." Cheng Shang said, "Times are different. Young people nowadays are getting more and more impressive. I have to admit that our generation was not as good as them at their age. In fact, one generation should surpass another. We didn't have so many resources when we were young and had to worry about other things. Now they only need to focus on practicing Martial Arts and can surpass us back then, which is to be expected. But we had hardships and setbacks that they haven't experienced. Although we didn't want to encounter them, we had to endure them. Looking back now, they are also our wealth. Perhaps it's my old brain, but I feel that these young people still need to go through some forging before they can truly become talented. So this time, you don't need to give me face. Show your true skills and give them some pain. If you want their information, I can give it to you because winning will allow them to recognize themselves; otherwise, they will suffer greatly in the future." Ni Qianxi said, "Old Man, is it really okay to trick the younger generation like this?" Cheng Shang slowly said, "If I trick them, they still have a chance to get it back. If they are tricked by outsiders, they might lose their lives in one go." Chen Chuan said, "Elder Cheng, I will not underestimate any opponent. I don't need their information; otherwise, it wouldn't be an exchange but a performance." Knowing the information and not knowing it are completely different. Having targeted arrangements in advance would provide too great an advantage. Seeing that he didn't want it, Cheng Shang didn't force it, leisurely saying, "Young man, this is just a competition, so it's impossible for you to take medicine. Don't underestimate your enemies; those younger generations are really excellent. Also…" His gaze turned over, "Find a way to enter the Third Realm as soon as possible. Only then can you clearly see what path you should take." After saying that, he slowly closed the tea lid. Ni Qianxi stood up, "Little Brother Chen, we should go." Chen Chuan stood up and said, "Elder Cheng, goodbye." Cheng Shang waved his hand. Chen Chuan bowed to him and left with Ni Qianxi. After the two people walked away, a Middle-aged man came over, looking in the direction Chen Chuan left. "Senior Uncle, is that the young man just now, the disciple that Senior Brother Cheng always praises?" Cheng Shang said, "That's him, a student, not a disciple." The Middle-aged man smiled, "Senior Brother Cheng emphasizes that he teaches students, but the degree of importance he places on him is no different from a disciple." Cheng Shang said, "Is that important? Think about how to win." The Middle-aged man looked at Cheng Shang in surprise. "Senior Uncle, you think so highly of that young man just now? I saw him just now. Judging from his body movement rhythm, he might be in the upper-middle range? But to say that he can beat Liu Yin and the others, isn't that a bit of an overestimation?" Cheng Shang said, "That's right, Liu Yin and the others have been taught Martial Arts by hand since they were young. They have a solid foundation, and their growth has been cultivated with ample resources. This young man can't compare. But the difference is that this young man has truly fought his way up. How many times have Liu Yin and the others gone out to fight? Do they consider fighting with gang members as fighting? This young man has risked his life all the way. One step back, one failure means death. Do Liu Yin and the others have this determination to survive at all costs?" The Middle-aged man's smile slightly faded, thoughtfully saying, "Old Man, your evaluation of this young man is so high. It seems I have to go back and remind them to be more careful." Cheng Shang shook his head, saying, "It's useless to say it now; they won't listen. Only after a fight will their impressions be deep." On this side, Ni Qianxi sent Chen Chuan all the way back to the Profound Palace Tower. After he returned to his dormitory, he took out the Precious Paste he had obtained from Cao Guiqi. In fact, the Administration Bureau had also sent him a copy before, so he had a total of three portions in hand. He opened a box of Precious Paste, and inside were black and cyan ointments arranged side by side. According to the method of taking the medicine, he needed to use the cyan ointment first. This ointment can be absorbed by the body through direct oral administration and inhalation, and Martial Artist who have mastered the Skin Breathing Technique can also directly apply it to the skin to improve absorption efficiency. He first mixed three spoons with water and drank it, then evenly applied the rest to the skin surface. At first, he couldn't feel anything, but after a while, with the cooperation of the Breathing Technique, the medicinal effects gradually began to take effect. He found that these Precious Paste that had entered the body were like living things, actively clinging to the Mutated Tissue and forming a thin film attached to it. Because the internal organs are relatively soft, unlike muscles, bones, and tendons, which are usually stressed, they cannot be exercised through direct and simple training methods. They can only be strengthened by improving cardiopulmonary function through effective exercise, promoting blood circulation, providing more oxygen and nutrients to nourish them, or by using various Breathing Technique and unique internal energy postures to massage them. However, this kind of exercise is only limited to the surface, while this type of Precious Paste can directly stimulate the internal organs and the Mutated Tissue above them, making it urgently need various nutrients and turning the original passivity into active growth. After this step is completed, the second type of black paste can be taken, which contains enough nutrients for its growth. Moreover, the cyan paste has another effect: before the film disappears, it can enhance the strength of the internal organs and their Mutated Tissue, allowing Martial Artist to perform over-realm training in a short period of time. It can allow Martial Artist to use semi-harmful Breathing Technique that they usually dare not use, thereby further deepening the stimulation of the internal organs and making it easier to absorb the black paste later. In order to achieve this effect, Chen Chuan, after guiding the cyan paste into his body, began to practice Zheng San Shou[-] on the spot and released the restraints on the Mutated Tissue, allowing it to fully activate. Although various emotions surged into his mind wave after wave, his movements in evolving the moves were not chaotic at all. Instead, some inspirations that he usually couldn't think of constantly emerged. He now has his own understanding of the application of Zheng San Shou[-]. On the surface, it looks similar to the original Zheng San Shou[-], but in fact, the force and subtle details are completely different. This is normal, because Zheng San Shou[-] is like the most basic foundation. As his strength increases, he needs to build and expand on it himself. After slowly finishing ten rounds of Zheng San Shou[-], he felt his whole body heating up, knowing that the medicinal effects were beginning to take effect. So he picked up the Snow Emperor Blade again for knife move training, using as much strength as possible in each move, repeatedly slashing and exerting force. One dose of medicine is enough to last for half a day to a day and will continue to nourish and strengthen the internal organs for about ten days. He felt that the effect of using this ointment in conjunction with Radiant Light Therapy should be better. It's just that ordinary people probably need a few days of growth and recovery time after Radiant Light Therapy, so they can only choose to stagger it. He felt that he might be able to try it next time. Moreover, the effect of the cyan paste can also significantly improve combat power in battles. It's just that people like Cao Guiqi can only get a small amount of this medicine each month, which shows how rare it is. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He also checked in the Academy, and it seems that there are similar medicines, but this year's quota was already distributed at the beginning of the year, and one dose costs more than ten thousand yuan. He didn't have the financial resources to consume it and could only find a way from the Administration Bureau. According to Ni Qianxi's statement, in addition to his own share, he can get an extra share through internal competition. Since there is an opportunity, he must try to win it. From afternoon to evening, he kept practicing moves and internal energy until it was past nine o'clock, when he had completely dissolved the abundant medicinal effects. He could do it again in ten days, and perhaps he could try to arrange Radiant Light Therapy at that time. Although the Sea Realm Domain doesn't allow too many things to be brought in, he can take medicine in advance. At this time, he remembered what Cheng Shang had said to him during the day and couldn't help but turn his thoughts. What will he come into contact with when he reaches the Third Realm? But no matter what, that's something to consider later. He should first do what he can do now. Although he said to do it as soon as possible, he can't be chaotic. Walking steadily step by step is more reliable than rushing. After thinking about it, he left the training room, washed up, and rested on time. The next day, he continued to return to Teacher Zheng to receive training. After the heavy knife, it was time to use the light sword, which was mainly to force Zheng Tongtong back with speed. This time, he also spent about three days to do it. Then came the dual-wielding of light and heavy knives, which was a bit difficult. Zheng Tongtong relied on Gao Ming's internal energy skills to handle two different knives. He spent two days just getting used to wielding them, and then another three days before he successfully forced Zheng Tongtong back. On the ninth day, Teacher Zheng didn't let him change knives again, nor did he tell him about the next stage. Instead, he himself randomly took a knife and stood on the field. He said, "Chen classmate, offense and defense are not strictly separated. Now I'll teach you something new. To make it easier for you to experience and remember, now use whatever method you can to attack with all your strength."
