Chapter 196: Eating Eight Treasures and Going to Mount Mang

"What? He gave Babao to Xiao Zhenye?"

In the Yang family study, Grandpa Yang was satisfied with the four words he had just written. On the white rice paper, the four words [运算圍繄] were written in a flamboyant style.

But who would have thought that before he could feel proud for a few seconds, he heard Guo Jie's report and almost threw the pen in his hand away?
What are the eight treasures?
Eyes, ears, nose, sound, heart, body, mind and storage are the eight treasures of Buddhism.

The eight treasures given by oneself are also called Tongqiao Dahuan Dan. After taking them, the eight treasures will make people enlightened, with sharp ears and eyes, active thoughts, and can greatly increase their own qi and blood, strengthen the body, and consolidate the foundation.

This thing is a treasure. Even Grandpa Yang himself can’t bear to eat it.

He took out the Eight Treasures and gave them to Fengchui so that Fengchui could give them to Zhao Qingming. This way, Zhao Qingming's injuries would be almost healed, and he could also owe the Yang family a big favor.

If Fengchui gets into trouble in the future, the Zhao family will not ignore it.

But unexpectedly, Fengchui gave this thing to Xiao Zhenye.

This made old man Yang's face turn green. After all, according to common sense, Zhao Qingming was the strongest and was injured, so shouldn't he be given the food?
"Master, I think Xiao Zhenye is not bad. Besides, wasn't it him who killed the Hu family's fairy this time?"

Guo Jie had a good impression of Xiao Ran and tried to say nice things to her.

"I didn't say Zhenye is a bad kid, but..."

Old Master Yang stopped talking halfway through. How could Guo Jie not understand Old Master Yang's intentions after following him for so many years?

"You think Xiao Zhenye's family background is too poor."

After Guo Jie revealed his thoughts, Mr. Yang was not angry, and nodded in agreement naturally:

"Although they are good brothers who grew up together, their family background is indeed too thin. Moreover, his master may not be able to hold on for long. Without a backer, do you dare to say that after the Five Immortals Hall has done its job, they will not turn around and take revenge on him?"

Only Guo Jie and Grandpa Yang were in the study room. Their relationship was even closer than that of a husband and wife, and Grandpa Yang only dared to reveal his true feelings in front of Guo Jie.

"Don't think I'm scornful of the poor and in love with the rich. If it's just a matter of family background, then it's fine. How long can the Yin Xing continue to make a living? The Fang family is the leader of the Yin Xing. Now, the general trend is irreversible and they are destined to be eliminated by history.

The coroner's family disappeared early on, otherwise he would have been able to make a living by handling criminal cases and live longer.

Although the Zhou family has been prosperous in recent years, the soup will become drier as it cooks over a high fire. No one knows how long this bowl of rice can be eaten.

"Look at the corpse-stitching business. How many days can it last? The Fang family has stopped using swords. I'm afraid it won't be long before they become the last of the family. How dare I bet on Xiao Zhenye?"

Old Master Yang is not a snob. If Xiao Zhenye has a hard time in the future, the Yang family is willing to help him financially.

But if I say that I am putting all my hopes on him, the old man will inevitably have doubts in his heart. Isn't this nonsense?

"Master, how about...I go and ask for the eight treasures back?"

Guo Jie said in a low voice.

"Forget it. I have no right to ask for something back after giving it away. I can't afford to lose face. This kid Fengchui..."

Old Master Yang felt disappointed. Giving Babao to Fengchui was also a test for him.

Now it seems that this child is still too naive and has poor vision.

"Well, just consider it as helping him out of his master's favor. I hope the child will remember this favor in the future."

After saying that, Mr. Yang looked at the four words he had just written, and couldn't help but curl his lips. He picked up the brush and scribbled on them like he was venting his anger.

"Ah sneeze!!"

Yang Fengchui didn't know that the old man was angry about him rashly giving the Eight Treasures to Xiao Zhenye. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and said to Xiao Ran beside him: "Fourth brother, since this thing is given to me, you can eat it without worry. Why should we be polite to each other as brothers?"

On the way, Xiao Ran had repeatedly confirmed with Yang Fengchui the origins of these eight treasures, and Yang Fengchui was even a little impatient.

It's not that Xiao Ran suddenly became so hesitant. If it was given by someone else, I would really be rude and would stuff it into my stomach the first thing I did after getting it. If you want me to spit it out later, you're dreaming.

However, Xiao Ran had to be more careful with Yang Feng Chui. Although he had only been here for a short time, he could feel his brother's sincerity in his heart. Xiao Ran couldn't help but worry about where this thing came from, fearing that if he ate it, Yang Feng Chui would be in trouble.

No wonder Xiao Ran is so cautious. Just look at the properties of the Eight Treasures Pill.

D-level cursed item: [Eight Treasures Ruyi Tongqiao Pill]

Consumables do not require activation.

After consumption, it can open up the orifices, activate blood circulation, nourish Qi and produce body fluids, and make the five senses more spiritual and the six senses more agile.

Strength, Agility, Spirit, Constitution +5
Get special effect: Lubrication (one-time)
Lubrication; after activation, it can quickly recover all internal injuries.

Gain special effect: Enlightenment (one-time)
Enlightenment: You can choose a professional skill to gain enlightenment.

After enlightenment, your professional skills will be further improved, and there is a chance that you will break through a shackle and reach a higher level.

(Note: The higher the level of the skill you have enlightened, the smaller the gains from enlightenment.)
(Note: If the consumer is a virgin, all the effects can be obtained. If not, the effect of the pill will be halved and no special effects can be obtained, but the consumer will be adjusted to a virgin.)
As expected of a D-grade cursed item, its efficacy far exceeds that of an E-grade black strengthening potion.

The improvement of the four attributes adds up to 20 points.

Not to mention the two special effects, especially the enlightenment. Xiao Ran, who has already obtained a D-level job, knows the value of this thing too well.

The biggest obstacle that prevents these beginners from advancing is not the lack of corresponding spell rune materials, but their own understanding and improvement of professional skills.

Spell patterns and materials can all be obtained through other channels.

This is the only ability that can be honed slowly over time. Everyone's understanding and starting point are different, and the difficulty of professional skills varies. Therefore, not everyone can make a breakthrough by slowly honing their skills over time.

In order to advance to [Corpse Collector], he even had to develop in the direction of modern medicine and made sufficient preparations.

This was achieved even though he had started learning corpse sewing since he was a child.

You can imagine how much patience and sweat it takes for others to get promoted.

But with enlightenment, it was like finding a shortcut, allowing one to quickly improve his professional skills. Just for this reason, Xiao Ran didn't dare to imagine the value of this thing, so he was a little suspicious whether this thing was stolen from home by Yang Fengchui.

Although he was greedy, Xiao Ran would feel bad if it brought harm to his brothers.

After confirming it again and again, Yang Fengchui also explained it again and again.

Even Zhao Qingming and the others couldn't stand it anymore: "Zhenye, eat it. You're hesitating like a woman. This is not like you. If this pill falls into your hands and enters your mouth, there will be no more trouble in the future!"

"Yeah, if Grandpa Yang regrets it, wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

Zhou Shang covered his mouth and grinned evilly.

"Second brother, please don't talk nonsense. Since my grandfather gave it to me, it's my business how I deal with it. There's no reason for me to take this medicine back after giving it to my fourth brother!"

Yang Fengchui glared at Zhou Shang and said.

"Yes, Zhenye, you should eat it. We brothers know some things even if we don't say them. You are capable and powerful, and you know how to be low-key and act without dragging your feet. Your only shortcoming is that you have a weak foundation. Fengchui gave you the elixir, and you must not let him down."

Li Qing was also a shrewd man. He knew why the Phoenix Hammer was given to Xiao Ran, and his words were as sharp as a needle, pointing directly to the pros and cons.

Xie Yutang and Sun Miao also started to persuade him.

Seeing six brothers surrounding him and trying to persuade him, almost prying open his mouth and stuffing the pill into him, Xiao Ran was suddenly moved and no longer refused, swallowing the pill in one gulp.

The few of them did not move forward, but sat under the shade of the tree to guard Xiao Ran.

Regardless of the traffic on the road, the brothers blocked Xiao Ran behind and chatted and laughed happily.

After Xiao Ran ate the eight treasures, he immediately felt hot all over.

When the eight treasures entered my mouth, it felt like countless tadpoles were drilling in and out of my body. I was not used to it at first, but soon I felt a tingling sensation in my muscles and bones all over.

It was as if a warm current was flowing through his body, and every cell was cheering. Xiao Ran could clearly feel his strength increasing, and his body became lighter and more flexible. His five senses also became extremely sharp, and he could clearly capture distant sounds and faint smells.

As time went by, the heat gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

Xiao Ran closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel that his mental strength was quietly growing and his thinking became extremely clear.

"You took the D-level cursed item [Eight Treasures Ruyi Tongqiao Pill].

Strength, Agility, Spirit, Constitution +5
Get special effect: Lubrication (one-time)
Gain special effect: Enlightenment (one-time)
The two special effects can be retained for up to 30 days, please be sure to use them within days!! "

As the prompt ended, Xiao Ran opened his eyes, and a captivating luster flashed in his black and white eyes.

"Fourth brother, how do you feel?" Yang Fengchui asked with concern.

Xiao Ran stood up, stretched, felt the changes in his body, and nodded: "I feel very good, better than ever before. This eight treasures really live up to its reputation."

Zhao Qingming and others smiled with satisfaction when they saw Xiao Ran's changes. They knew that Xiao Ran's improvement in strength would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their small group.

Especially at this moment, whether we can regain our face depends on our brother.

"Let's go to Mount Mang!"

Zhao Qingming waved his hand, and several brothers got up and headed straight for the northern slope of Mangshan Mountain. After arriving at the place, they sat under a wild jujube tree to rest.

Waited about an hour.

As the sky gradually darkened, the farmers in the distance had already gone down the mountain carrying their hoes.

"Why haven't these guys arrived yet? Fengchui, what time did you agree on?" Sun Miao asked Yang Fengchui.

Yang Fengchui slapped his forehead and said, "It's broken!"

"What's wrong?" Everyone was startled and looked at Yang Fengchui.

"They said to be here at eight o'clock. We are early."

Hearing Yang Fengchui's words, everyone rolled their eyes. Just as they were about to scold him for being unreliable, Xiao Ran's ears twitched slightly and he raised his hand: "I think we don't have to wait that long, they are here..."
