The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Chapter 162 Cultivation is not as good as consuming pills?

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders!"

Cai Shi said with a smile, "Ye Xiao, our school is a place where hidden talents abound."

"From now on, you must be polite to everyone you meet."

"Because you might not know that this seemingly unremarkable old man might have a background that would shock the entire world!"

Ye Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Alright, I brought you here mainly to help you spend the points you have."

"You have so many points, it would be a shame to waste them if you didn't redeem them for something."

Cai Shi was clearly very familiar with this place.

They had already spoken to the old doctor.

Moreover, the old doctor did not stop him.

The two of them could then freely enter the fifth floor of Tianying Tower.

"Here is a table showing the item exchange system; you can take a look."

Cai Shi led Ye Xiao to a wall.

The walls were covered with various cultivation resources and their corresponding prices.

Ye Xiao first looked at the first list.

[Essence]

[Qi-Restoring Pill. Effect: Restores spiritual energy. Exchange Requirement: 1 credit.]

[Healing Pill. Effect: Restores Qi and Blood. Exchange Requirement: 1 Credit.]

[Antidote Pill. Effect: Detoxifies common toxins. Exchange Requirement: 1 credit.]

[Body Tempering Pill (Small). Effect: Slightly strengthens the physical body. Exchange Requirement: 2 credits.]

【….】

This is where you can exchange for pills.

But Ye Xiao's gaze immediately fell on the fourth cultivation resource.

"Body Tempering Pill?"

He muttered something to himself.

Cai Shi, who was standing nearby, heard this.

He said, "I will basically require all students to prioritize exchanging for the Body Tempering Pill."

"Because apart from professions like martial arts, students don't put much effort into physical training."

"At this point, they need to rely on external forces to help them improve their physical fitness."

"Generally speaking, people's bodies can develop drug resistance, so basically, the same pills will reach the upper limit of drug resistance after taking about 10 pills."

"Continuing to take it will have no further effect."

Ye Xiao nodded after hearing this.

He asked, "Teacher Cai, given my current condition, will taking this Body Strengthening Pill still be effective?"

"You can give it a try," Cai Shi said with a smile. "Anyway, you have plenty of points."

then.

Ye Xiao planned to follow Cai Shi's advice and exchange for 10 Body Tempering Pills (small), which would be equivalent to 20 credits.

This corresponds to the 20 points he earned during the Free Challenge Day.

This time.

Ye Xiao finally understood just how valuable his 2850 points were!

"But how do I redeem it?"

"Isn't the old apothecary resting?"

Cai Shi smiled mysteriously and called out in the direction of Yao Lao.

"Master Yao, we'll deduct the points ourselves and take the items ourselves."

"No need for you to get up yourself."

After saying that.

Cai Shi helped Ye Xiao find the location of the Body Tempering Pill (small).

He took out 10.

Then, by operating Ye Xiao's bracelet, 20 points were deducted.

The display above has changed.

[Points: 2830]

Followed by.

Cai Shi gave all 10 Body Tempering Pills (small) to Ye Xiao.

"Eat it and see."

His eyes held a hint of expectation.

Ye Xiao took it.

Without saying a word, he opened his mouth and threw all 10 Body Tempering Pills (small) into his mouth in one go.

When you throw it in.

Cai Shi was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you tell me to eat it?"

"Eat them one by one! Why did you eat them all at once! This thing may be the lowest grade body-tempering pill, but its effects are very potent!"

"What should we do then?"

Ye Xiao felt a little flustered at this moment.

Cai Shi shook his head: "Then you'll have to deal with it yourself."

"Just get through the effects of the medicine."

Ye Xiao asked, "So, what kind of feeling is it?"

Tsai Shih said, "It's probably the feeling of your body being stretched to the point of bursting."

Upon hearing this...

Ye Xiao was quite nervous.

Cai Shi muttered to himself, "You're really something else. Others take half a pill or even just soak it in water to eat it."

"If your body bursts from being stretched, we'll have to ask the old medicine master for help."

"I hope you can pull yourself together and get through this."

One minute later.

Two minutes later.

Five minutes later.

When Cai Shi saw Ye Xiao standing there expressionless and motionless, he was stunned.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Aren't you responding?"

Ye Xiao was also nervously waiting for the reaction within his body.

But he waited for 5 minutes.

There was no reaction at all.

Ye Xiao even thought he had taken a fake Body Tempering Pill.

"Uh, I really don't feel anything."

"Could the medication have expired?"

Cai Shi was amused by Ye Xiao's words.

"Expired? That's impossible."

And just then...

Ye Xiao suddenly heard a system notification in his ear.

【你已经成功吸收10枚锻体丹（小），你的肉身气血提升1%，你的肉身防御提升1%！当前使用情况：（10/100）！】

"It's responding!"

Ye Xiao blurted it out.

Cai Shi laughed and said, "I knew it! How could this Body Tempering Pill be expired?"

"Your body must feel like it's being torn apart by a savage force, right?"

"But don't be afraid, because it is this power that is tempering your body."

"Waiting for you..."

Before Cai Shi could finish speaking...

Ye Xiao revealed a harmless smile.

He said, "The reaction is over."

The reaction Ye Xiao just described.

It was just something he blurted out after hearing the system notification.

Ye Xiao hadn't expected this either.

When he took the pill, it triggered a system notification similar to an achievement.

But it's completely different from achievement-based categories.

After Ye Xiao absorbed 10 Body Tempering Pills.

While improving his physical fitness.

It also gave him a 1% boost to his physical health and defense!

This might seem like a tiny improvement!

But it thrilled Ye Xiao!

To know.

This is the easiest way to improve your strength.

Unlike him, who painstakingly practiced boxing in the gravity tower.

All you need to do is take a few pills.

It directly boosted his strength!

Ye Xiao thought to himself, "As everyone says, cultivation is 30% self-reliance and 70% money!"

"It's good to be rich! You can just buy all sorts of cultivation resources, like pills, which can increase your strength just by consuming them!"

At this moment, Cai Shi was still questioning why Ye Xiao's Body Tempering Pill had no effect.

Ye Xiao suggested, "How about I exchange some more and try?"

"Okay!" Cai Shi felt he had discovered Ye Xiao's secret.

This guy's body is quite special.

It seems that it can directly eliminate the negative effects of swallowing medication?

Followed by.

Ye Xiao then swallowed 10 more Body Tempering Pills, 20 more Body Tempering Pills, 30 more Body Tempering Pills...

It wasn't until he had consumed a full 100 Body Tempering Pills (10 pills each).

【你已经成功吸收10枚锻体丹（小），你的肉身气血提升10%，你的肉身防御提升10%！当前使用情况：（100/100）！】

[Achievement "Cultivation is not as good as consuming pills" unlocked! Bonus permanent reward: After consuming the maximum amount of different types of pills, additional bonuses will be granted.]

Seeing this.

Ye Xiao's face lit up with a delighted smile.

Is it really true that consuming elixirs indiscriminately has so many benefits?

What was the point of all that hard work he put into practicing boxing before?

And this time.

Ye Xiao discovered that there was a special interface for "Pill Boost" in his system interface.

Upon clicking, the image of the 100 Body Tempering Pills he had just consumed appeared.

【锻体丹（小）。吸收数量：（100/100）。效果：你的肉身气血提升10%，你的肉身防御提升10%！额外加成：你的肉身气血提升2%，你的肉身防御提升2%！】

"Not bad! I've consumed 100 Body Tempering Pills (Small), in addition to the original attribute boost."

"It also grants an additional 2% increase to physical health and defense!"

Overall, it resulted in a 12% improvement.

After Ye Xiao finished thinking to himself,
