Chapter 5: Enjoy the Spiritual Fish and Swallow the Pill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This pill… Can I eat it?”

About an hour had passed. Qin Feng looked at the braised Dragon Tail Fish on the table in front of him as well as the Failed Refinement of Vitality Nurturing Pill in his hand. His heart was thumping. He knew nurturing pills were extremely precious in this world. However, the system clearly stated this pill was a failed refinement. Since the original owner had tossed the pill, it might not be something good. Hence, he was conflicted.

“Forget it. I don’t care. I’ll eat the fish first!”

Qin Feng decided to hold back on the pill. His attention was on the Dragon Tail Fish. There might be a problem with the pill but the fish should be fine, right?

He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily. Fortunately, this fish did not have any bones. Eating it was really easy. The fish was really unique. Its meat was incomparably fresh and tender. It melted as soon as it entered Qin Feng’s mouth. At the same time, it was still chewy when bitten. Qin Feng thought this was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten. The taste was further elevated after adding a little seasoning. Basically, it was top-notch.

Qin Feng did not know the Dragon Tail Fish was considered a rare ingredient in the cultivation world. Although it lived in the water, it had a fire attribute. Naturally, it tasted a little spicy. Qin Feng was lucky. The Dragon Tail Fish he caught was originally strengthening its body. If it had already formed a spiritual core, it would cast fire to attack. If that happened, things would have been much more difficult for the young man.

There was one more thing that he did not know. If this fish’s effects were discovered, countless martial artists would be willing to pay an astronomical price for it. After an individual became a grandmaster, the next step was to cultivate spirit energy. Martial artists also had their own attributes.

Even among grandmasters, there was a difference. Those without attributes could split mountains and seas. On the other hand, a grandmaster with attributes could display more amazing abilities.

Needless to say, it was very difficult to awaken attributes. Out of ten grandmasters, only one or two super geniuses could make it. The rest would have to rely on external forces. An external force was also known as a heavenly treasure. The Dragon Tail Fish that Qin Feng just ate was a super tonic. It would give the consumer a chance to awaken their attributes. Since Qin Feng was not a grandmaster yet, he could not awaken his internal attributes. Nonetheless, he still had a huge advantage because this power would accumulate with time!

In short, Qin Feng was building a strong foundation. He could not awaken his attributes right now but once he reached grandmaster level, it would be unimaginable. If someone knew about this, they might even assassinate Qin Feng due to jealousy!

Qin Feng finished the fish within fifteen minutes. He even chewed up the bones and swallowed everything. It was good stuff. After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Feng felt his stomach swell up a little. Luckily, he had fast digestion.

Once again, Qin Feng was lost in his thoughts. Should he eat the pill? Actually, he had already made a decision. After muttering to himself for a little while, he swallowed the pill.

The Dragon Tail Fish was a delicacy. In comparison, this pill tasted like poison. Still, Qin Feng pinched his nose and swallowed it. His taste buds transmitted waves of unspeakable bitterness. Once the pill entered his stomach, a strong sense of nausea immediately arose. Qin Feng braced himself and luckily, he did not vomit. Otherwise, everything he ate earlier would be wasted. The disgusting taste lasted for a full thirty minutes. During this time, Qin Feng almost vomited several times. After enduring it, the unpleasant taste slowly disappeared.

Suddenly, he felt an intense pain coming from his stomach. It was as if someone was fighting inside. His intestines felt like they were being twisted. Qin Feng ran into the bathroom. Without saying anything, he lit a cigarette and began to defecate! The smell was so bad that he had to smoke five more cigarettes. He hoped the cigarettes’ smell could cover the stench, but nothing worked out as planned.

It was the middle of the night. The surroundings were very quiet. Through the wooden window, one could hear the rustling sound of the leaves. One might find it hard to fall asleep. The bright moon was beautiful and everything seemed very natural.

Qin Feng was lying in the master bedroom, holding his stomach. His face was pale and his entire body felt weak.

“I… How could I be so stupid?!”

Qin Feng could not fall asleep and recalled the previous events. He complained about his stupidity in a sobbing tone. The pill was more like a laxative than anything. It made him feel really uncomfortable.

If there was a powerful martial artist around, he would definitely give Qin Feng a few tight slaps. This kid did not appreciate his luck! Laxatives? He had actually eaten a panacea and it had directly transformed his body.

All the impurities that he had accumulated in his body over the years were excreted. Martial artists from wealthy families were carefully fed ever since they were young. They only ate food that was precious, natural, and harmless. Regardless, a few impurities would still accumulate in their bodies.

Currently, Qin Feng was being cleansed by the pill and fish. There were no more impurities in his body. It could be said that he had been reborn. Many people would kill to have such a body. Yet, this kid was complaining after suffering a little. If anyone found out, they would undoubtedly be furious.
