I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He reached out and patted Xue Jing on the shoulder, his face showing satisfaction:

"Good boy, good boy..."

"Please thank your friend for me."

"I really owe them a huge favor..." Li Qi sighed.

Chapter 107 The Overly Dangerous Silver Eyes and Enchantment, Xue Jing VS Xue Jing (4K)

Hidden Dragon Dojo, in the medicine storehouse.

Standing in front of the medicine mixing table, Xue Jing looked at the transparent container in front of him, which contained the 'Dragon Thunder Powder' that had been boiled and prepared and had already liquefied.

The golden liquid shimmered with an incredible fluorescence, and occasionally, lightning-shaped streaks seemed to appear.

After it cooled down slightly, Xue Jing put it into the nebulizer, put it on, and pressed the start button.

Golden fluorescent smoke began to emerge from the oxygen mask. Xue Jing closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began practicing breathing exercises.

From an internal perspective, the tiny particles formed by the atomization of Dragon Thunder Powder are like tiny lightning bolts, inhaled into the lungs, enter the bloodstream through the alveoli, and flow to all parts of the body.

Most of the particles ultimately target the brownish-red liver area.

Wherever the particles passed, a tingling, numbing sensation spread through the air, like being electrocuted, especially in the liver, which was the primary target.

After entering the liver, the granules adhere to and infiltrate the internal flesh and blood, and the medicinal effects are gradually absorbed.

Xue Jing could feel his liver undergoing a slow structural change amidst the tingling and stinging sensation, becoming stronger and more powerful...

Xue Jing didn't know how much time had passed until no more golden mist seeped out of the nebulizer before he opened his eyes.

In the dimly lit medicine storage room, his eyes suddenly lit up, like light bulbs.

"Your eyesight has improved? That doesn't seem quite right."

Xue Jing was experiencing his current field of vision.

"It's not a physical improvement in vision, like 'seeing things more clearly,' but rather it's as if... I can see more things that I can't normally see."

He reached out and touched the medicine dispensing table in front of him.

I could vaguely see some tiny cracks and damage on the table through my eyes, and I instinctively thought that if I punched here or cut there, the table would be easily destroyed...

Although it's not quite real, I do have that feeling.

"Martial arts are indeed quite idealistic... This should also be one of the manifestations of 'spiritual power influencing one's reality'."

"Simply improving eyesight wouldn't have this effect..."

Xue Jing sighed.

He opened the panel and took a look.

[You have completed one session of the Nail-Shaking Exercise, gaining 352 Fitness Experience Points]

[You have completed one training session of the Shaking Armor Technique, Hidden Dragon Strength experience points +330]

First, there were two notifications. After the Shaking Armor Technique added several more exercises to train the internal organs, the experience points gained increased even more.

But the next prompt made Xue Jing's eyes widen slightly.

[You have taken liver-nourishing medication, Health Preservation Experience Points +218]

The importance of health preservation skills needs no further explanation.

It gave Xue Jing almost endless energy, enabling him to maintain enough enthusiasm for striving upwards without any thoughts of slacking off or being lazy. Just for this reason alone, health preservation is a cheat-level skill.

Not to mention its exceptional physical and mental recovery capabilities.

However, apart from the few dozen experience points gained from going to bed early and waking up early every day, there has never been any other way to reliably gain experience through health preservation.

Only activities like fighting, which can make you feel good, can occasionally bring some extra benefits.

But now, he has finally found a way to reliably increase his [Health Preservation] experience points!

Taking Longlei Powder, a secret medicine for nourishing the internal organs... can promote health!

Xue Jing's lips twitched.

"No wonder when health preservation was first activated, the health supplements and the like didn't seem to have any effect."

"Only medicines of the caliber of Dragon Thunder Powder can generate experience points..."

He glanced at the notebook on the table, which contained the medication usage records he had just written.

After comparing the price list and the quantity used, the Dragon Thunder Powder he ordered was worth over 330,000 Zhuxia coins...

"A true pay-to-win skill."

Xue Jing scratched his head.

Furthermore, Longlei Powder, which nourishes the liver, is relatively inexpensive.

Although the medicines needed for refining the five internal organs are all called Longlei Powder, the formulas are different. The dosage, heat, and auxiliary medicines are all important. However, the main medicines used are all plants soaked in Longlei.

The most expensive of them all is Longlei Powder, which nourishes the heart. Xue Jing did a quick calculation and estimated that it would cost over 400,000.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in China, just got off the plane, have a net worth of 20 million, and am preparing to beg for food.

"The money we have now can only last for two months, so we need to find a way to continue earning money."

Xue Jing thought helplessly.

……

The next day, in the back hills of the northern district.

Silver light flashed wildly across the grass, and blades scattered in all directions. Xue Jing brandished his Futu sword, and streaks of silver-white blade energy plowed the surrounding grass into pieces, leaving it in a mess.

After a long while, he stopped what he was doing, tossed the Futu aside, poured his strength into the blade, shook off the plant sap that was sticking to it, and restored the blade to its clean state. Then he sheathed the blade.

Looking through the scattered green dust around him, Xue Jing gazed at a tree not far away, squinted slightly, and said:

"If you have something to say, come out and talk. What are you doing hiding there?"

A few seconds after he finished speaking, a figure emerged from behind the tree.

It was Ning Yuantai.

Xue Jing smiled, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and casually said, "What, here to fight me again?"

Ning Yuantai grunted awkwardly and said, "...I wouldn't dare."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow: "You dare not?"

This answer was somewhat unexpected.

"So what are you doing here?"

Xue Jing asked.

He thought to himself... Could it be that the "hundred-foot pole" method is truly no longer usable, and they've come to question him about the situation?

Just as he was pondering how to shift the blame, Ning Yuantai scratched his head and said:

"I just wanted to ask you if you're interested in joining 'Zhige'."

Xue Jing smiled and joked:

"The Sixth Agency is so short-staffed, they all want to recruit me."

Then he shook his head.

“I have no interest in joining the organization…and I’ve already agreed with Bai Ya that I will accept the commission as an unofficial member of Bai Ya, and it’s not good for me to have any connection with ‘Zhi Ge’.”

Ning Yuantai, however, seemed to have anticipated his answer, his expression remaining unchanged as he explained:

“Brother Xue…we, ‘Zhige’, are different from Baiya. We are a team composed entirely of martial artists, and all our resources are geared towards martial artists.”

"For example, in terms of martial arts styles, Zhige has the inheritance of most of the styles in the country, including both old and new martial arts."

"The nature of the work is not as uncertain as that of Bai Ya, because it involves criminal cases of martial artists. The opponents are all martial artists with traceable patterns. As long as the arrangements are made properly, the cases can be resolved smoothly. Moreover, fighting with martial artists can also help you improve yourself, especially for someone like you from an old martial arts school."

Ning Yuantai said a lot, but Xue Jing shook his head unmoved.

The power of a martial arts style can only be unleashed when it is combined with the corresponding physical techniques. His body has already taken the form of the Hidden Dragon style, so the power of other martial arts styles would be greatly reduced in his hands. They would only be of reference value, not essential.

As for real-world opportunities, he has no shortage of them. With the ability to consciously simulate these opportunities, he can engage in countless duels with opponents he has encountered.

"No need for all that talk, I'm really not interested," Xue Jing said.

"As expected." Ning Yuantai looked as if he had anticipated this.

He had inquired about the details with Xu Ren before coming and knew that Xue Jing was very resistant to being bound by joining the organization, so he didn't have any expectations and was just doing his best.

Then he revealed his true purpose.

"Alright then, Brother Xue."

"The conditions are exactly the same as those on Baiya's side. How about you become an unofficial member of our 'Stop the War' organization?"

Xue Jing didn't speak, but just glanced at him.

"The task will be given to you as a commission. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. As for the reward... we can also provide divine relics and martial arts resources."

Ning Yuantai sincerely said:

“You’ve only been practicing martial arts for a short time, so there are many things you don’t understand yet. The environment around the outer ring isn’t good either, which has limited your vision.”

"The path of martial arts is very, very long... much longer than you can imagine. The further you go on this path, the more and more precious the resources you will need."

"Many resources cannot be bought with money. Countless talented martial artists are unable to break through their limits and waste decades simply because they lack resources..."

"You don't feel it deeply now because you're just starting out and haven't reached the point of lacking resources yet."

"Believe me, getting involved with Zhige will definitely be of great benefit to you."

Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged; he simply smiled and said, "Why are you all so persistent with me? Are you even willing to offer such conditions because of that 'President Wu'?"

Ning Yuantai seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded, then shook his head:

"To be honest, that's part of the reason... It's probably mostly because of that for Bai Ya, but for me... it's about half and half."
