Ancient Strengthening Techniques Chapter 34 - Consumption of Energy Enhancer Fruit
Qing Shui glanced at the 10 sparkling blood-red Energy Enhancer Fruits, the thought of eating them and obtaining the power of 500 jin directly was very attractive to him. It is unfortunate that there is a limit that humans can only consume two Energy Enhancer fruits in their lives, therefore, eating more will be useless. If there was no limit to the effects of stacking, he would definitely abuse this to the fullest extent possible, and gain an additional 5000 jin of power every year.
The current Qing Shui, who already had a power level of 15,000 jin, was not too enamored by the effects provided by the Energy-enhancing Fruit. That's just a 500 jin raise, isn't it? Not enough to confuse. However, as the saying goes, even though the amount of meat that mosquitoes have is small, it is still meat. [1] Not to mention, he was still very incapable of breaking through the bottleneck of the 3rd heavenly layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. Although the chances were very small, it was still possible that consuming the Energy Enhancing Fruit would allow him to break through.
After giving it some thought, Qing Shui went to the front of the sturdy and powerful-looking Energy Enhancer Tree and measured 10 sparkling blood-red Energy Enhancer Fruits. He let their savory smell float on it before he stretched out one of his hands and plucked one of the Energy Enhancing Fruits from the tree branch.
“Ai! This is impossible, isn't it? I can't unplug it? ” Qing Shui estimated that before, when he tried to pluck the fruit, he only used the power of a few dozen jin, but unexpectedly, he was unable to pluck the fruit from the branch! Not only that, the sturdy Energy Enhancer Tree did not even budge in the slightest when Qing Shui exerted his strength!
Just incredible! Just incredible! Qing Shui exclaimed in surprise, after which he exerted more strength, but he still failed to pluck the fruit from the tree. This time, Qing Shui had used the power of several hundred jin!
"F*ck!" Being impatient, Qing Shui instantly used even greater strength and finally managed to pluck the Energy Enhancing Fruit. Thinking back, by the time he succeeded, the level of strength he used should be around 500 jin worth of strength!
Qing Shui was absorbed in his mind, eating the Energy Enhancing Fruit that provided a strength increase worth 500 jin actually required a power level of 500 jin to pluck the fruit from the branch. This was the first time he had discovered such a strange thing. However, he was not too surprised by it, as there were even stranger things in the World of the Nine Continents. After all, wasn't the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal even stranger? Shrugging his shoulders, Qing Shui without a care shook his head. Ever since the day when the Ancient Strengthening Technique appeared in his mind, his ability to comprehend strange things exceeded that of normal humans!
This fruit can never be picked by an ordinary human….
The size of the Energy Enhancer Fruit was only the size of Qing Shui's palm, it emitted a slight heat wave when held. If the Energy Enhancing Fruit was held tighter, one could feel the scorching heat radiating from it. Looking at that sparkling fruit, Qing Shui experimentally bit him.
En, the texture is a bit hard and a little crispy, but a very savory taste spreads in his mouth, giving rise to an alluring scent! Very quickly, the entire Energy Enhancing Fruit was eaten by Qing Shui! The most surprising thing was that the Energy Enhancing Fruit actually had no seeds! After being eaten, the fruit released a fiery Qi wave that emerged from his dantian, circulating through all of his energy channels and meridians, inserting his body with boundless power!
Qing Shui activated the Ancient Strengthening Technique as his entire body slowly turned reddish. When compared to his regular efforts to activate the Ancient Strengthening Technique, there was currently a weak yet extremely comfortable feeling as he circulated the 48th Qi cycle. At this moment, Qing Shui finally opened his eyes, but instead of his usual confident expression, there was a hint of confusion visible in his eyes!
Although she did not manage to break through the bottleneck, Qing Shui was not confused about that. Instead, he was very puzzled as to why consuming the Energy Enhancing Fruit actually increased his strength by 2000 jin instead of the 500 jin mentioned! In addition, in addition to increasing his strength level, the Energy Enhancing Fruit also weakened the tendons and bones of the user! Not only that, there is even a slight dirt-cleaning effect! It was a pity that Qing Shui had undergone two rounds of dirt cleansing. Therefore, the effect of eating this Energy-Enforcing Fruit was not displayed. Still, he remained enchanted.This type of fruit, in the hands of normal humans would definitely be considered a heaven-sent opportunity!
“I thought the description stated that the fruit will only increase one's strength by as much as 500 jin?” Qing Shui scratched his head and had no conclusions despite pondering over it for half a day. After all, it did not harm him, after all, a bigger increase was always better than a smaller increase right?
Since there was a limit of two fruits, Qing Shui did not waste time and directly consumed the second Energy Enhancing Fruit. This time, he did not stop for a moment to enjoy the taste and directly swallowed it. After eating, he could not help but curse "F ***!" He had only gained an increase in strength of 500 jin!
After swallowing both Energy Enhancing Fruits, Qing Shui obtained an increase of around 2,500 jin of strength. This increase in strength could not be underestimated as this was an estimated increase of 20% of his original strength level. After all, the Ancient Strengthening Technique was a heaven-defying technique that focused on tempering the body of cultivators. The main focus was on the strength and defense of the body; overall it was a technique to strengthen one's entire body!
Looking over the tree branch, there were still eight sparkling blood-red Energy Enhancing Fruits. Qing Shui plucked it and wrapped it in a cloth, preparing to give two pieces to Qing Yi and two to Qing Luo when she returned to Qing Village. Qing Shui had yet to decide how to distribute the rest of the fruit. After all, after one year, 100 years would pass in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and he would have another 10 Energy Enhancing Fruits!
During this period of time, Qing Shui also discovered that the clear water within the spatial nature pond would automatically recharge itself to its original level after each reset. Qing Shui was very pleased with this discovery because he knew that this water was not ordinary water, it had mystic properties! After that he looked at the purplish land under his feet and pondered: “Should I plant something here? Otherwise, it would be a waste of fertile land, but what should I plant? Ahh, I know, herbs with medicinal properties! "
After this period of time, Qing Shui was already very knowledgeable about Herbal Medicine and Dan Medicine. That was why he wanted to plant medicinal herbs within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. The best thing that could happen was that he managed to plant a valuable and expensive crop. However, right now, Qing Shui did not even have the seedlings for the cheapest and most common potions, which was why the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was still empty.
Holding the thick and heavy wooden sword in his hand, in an instant, he decided to carve three words on the rough-looking body of the wooden sword.
Even when rushing on the road, trying to return to the Qing Clan as quickly as possible, Qing Shui would still hold a wooden sword in his hand, inadvertently practicing the Iaido Technique. There is a saying that the sword user must reach a state where the sword never leaves the hand. Qing Shui tried to sense that stage.
“I will be home soon, this year is almost over, not to mention the celebration of my maturity. Also, after this year I will be considered an adult, be able to marry a beautiful wife and father many children, as well as fight to survive in the World of the Nine Continents alone. ”
The Qing Clan could also be considered a Cultivator Clan, which was why the people from the Qing Clan were likely to marry later. For example, Qing Zi's eldest grandson was not married yet. Because, after marriage, it would be bad if they start to enjoy the household life too much and indulge in the pleasure of making love to ignore their cultivation.
Normally, those with low talent in cultivation could be allowed to marry wives early and bear children. After they started their own families, they would then help the Qing Clan handle their various businesses!
In the eyes of the Qing Clan, Qing Shui was placed in the classification of those who were allowed to start their own families. After all, in the eyes of his clan members, he was nothing but trash. There would not be much progress even if he chose to continue on the path of cultivation.
Qing Shui thought of the World of the Nine Continents, especially the region where the Qing Clan currently resided. Most families will allow their children to get married at the age of 16-18 and will be considered older once they reach the age of 20!
Regarding this type of early age marriage, Qing Shui was unsure of his own feelings towards her. He knew that in the previous world, marriage was only legal when men were 22 and women were 20. However, if she took into account her true age, then Qing Shui was already 30+ this year. She hopes to find a beauty that excites her to be her permanent bed warmer as well.
As he thought of women, his thoughts would drift to Shi Qing Zhuang, he could only sigh helplessly as Shi Qing Zhuang was the most beautiful woman he had seen that was unrelated to him, he could only sigh helplessly as Shi Qing Zhuang was the most beautiful woman he had seen, but he was already the fiancee of that arrogant bastard, Situ Bu Fan. Regarding the jade-like beauty of the nearby area, they were already engaged to someone or they were underage lolis!
Qing Shui, at least for the nearby area, he did not want to sleep with someone else's wife. He is also not interested in Lolis. The only types of women who could interest him were those who were older than him. Shi Qing Zhuang fits this bill perfectly… ..
