I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

"Meow~"

On the sofa, the chubby orange cat lay lazily.

A fluffy tail dangles from the edge of the cushion.

Those amber eyes were half-open and half-closed.

Watching Bai Sheng take the glasses out of the plastic bag one by one,

They were arranged in a row on the coffee table.

Five brand-new glasses, each with a supermarket price tag on it.

It's obviously newly bought.

"Come and take my gun."

Bai Sheng turned to look at Fatty Orange.

Left arm raised high,

Make a gun gesture with your thumb and forefinger, aiming at the chubby orange.

Add your own sound effects:

"Snapped!"

"..."

Fat Orange's beard twitched.

Bai Sheng vaguely received a silent signal from Pang Ju.

Are you sick?

Bai Sheng silently withdrew his hand and turned his back to Fatty Orange.

He re-emphasized his left hand, which he had shaped like a gun.

This time it's accurate.

The glass on the far left of the coffee table.

Within his dantian, the internal energy subtly circulated.

A wisp of extremely fine energy traveled along the three Yin meridians of the hand to the index finger.

This is the high-pressure energy stream that naturally condenses after the Xuanqi Technique reaches its peak.

Colorless and formless

Only a few inches of air in front of the fingers,

It twisted slightly.

Bai Sheng narrowed his eyes, and involuntarily added a sound effect to his mouth:

"Smack."

boom!

The glass shattered with a crash!

Shards flew around the coffee table and were scattered all over the floor.

? ?

The chubby orange cat was startled; it bounced up from the sofa armrest and then fell back down.

The hair was all sticking up like a feather duster.

It tumbled and crawled, jumping up and down on the sofa.

"Making a fuss over nothing..."

Bai Sheng clicked his tongue.

Subsequently,

He slowly raised both hands simultaneously, experiencing the exhilarating feeling of reaching the pinnacle of the Profound Qi Technique.

It made him feel completely comfortable.

He aimed at both cups at the same time.

In addition, his second-order perception allows him to clearly perceive...

The distorted trajectory of the air beam in the air.

The dantian star wheel accelerated its rotation, and the energy flowed to the fingers of both hands once again.

boom!boom!

The two glasses shattered almost simultaneously.

It was split in two and placed upside down on the coffee table.

"Is this the legendary dual pistols?"

The calico cat let out a meow from behind the sofa cushions.

It completely disappeared behind the cushion.

"The force is still not enough!"

Bai Sheng had already tested it on the pillow before.

After reaching the Great Perfection of the Profound Qi Technique, one can generate a powerful force of Qi from the fingertips.

It is almost equivalent to the force of an average adult throwing a punch with all their might.

"Although the effect was quite good, I felt a strange sensation when the Qi flowed through the three Yin meridians just now..."

Bai Sheng sat back on the sofa, rested his chin on his hand, and began to think.

If you can release the full force from your fingertips,

Perhaps if the energy were stronger, the striking effect could be improved.

However, his profound qi technique had reached its limit.

Having a means of long-range attack is already quite good.

But this power is still a bit lacking.

unless……

After a while,

He stood up as if he had just realized something.

This time,

Bai Sheng deliberately reduced the concentration of Qi in the three Yin meridians by half.

Then, using only half the force as before,

The energy blast drew a thinner and sharper arc than before.

Passing right through the center of the supermarket price tag on the cup,

The glass broke in two!

The upper half slowly slid down.

It circled the coffee table twice and then stopped.

"Holy crap, it actually worked!"

Bai Sheng was overjoyed and cheered.

"Meow!"

The calico cat peeked its head out from behind the sofa cushions.

After confirming that there was no more noise of glass shattering from the direction of the coffee table,

She tiptoed onto the sofa.

"Be good, listen to me..."

Bai Sheng raised his hand to scratch its head.

suddenly,

He found his arm to be incredibly heavy.

It felt like something had drained me.

I didn't feel anything when I fired the air beams just now.

Sitting back on the sofa, I felt all my energy completely drained.

My hands and feet are cold, and my head feels dizzy.

Even changing one's mind seems to take a beat longer than usual.

"What happened? Are you alright, Master?"

The calico cat's animal language signals entered Bai Sheng's mind intermittently.

He placed his hand on Sanhua's back, his breathing a little short.

I rested with my eyes closed for a while.

The symptoms have only just begun to subside.

He suddenly remembered that there were many annotations under the fourth chapter of the *Tao Te Ching*.

It automatically transforms into annotations of the Mysterious Qi Technique.

It was mentioned in the last small print that...

After the internal energy is condensed, the body's blood and qi will be largely consumed by the true energy.

Without proper nourishment, the body won't be able to handle it.

The smaller print listed several medicinal herbs, all of which he had never heard of before.

For example, "Peiyuan San" and "Guben Wan".

It sounds like something you can't buy at a street-side pharmacy.

"You can't rush making pancakes, and you can't rush eating hot tofu!"

Bai Sheng realized he had acted too hastily.

He leveled up the Profound Qi Technique from beginner to maximum in one go.

Although his internal energy has improved, his physical foundation hasn't kept up.

It's like an engine that originally ran on gasoline.

Suddenly switched to aviation fuel,

The horsepower was increased, but the cylinders and pistons weren't strengthened in time.

Burning it for too long will inevitably cause problems.

The feeling of exhaustion caused by low blood sugar is amplified to twice its current level.

This is the first warning.

"Lord Prisoner, save me..."

Bai Sheng bent down and retrieved a 1L bottle of iced tea from under the coffee table.

I unscrewed the cap and took a few sips.

Much more comfortable.

The cool, sweet water flowed down my throat.

It was poured all the way into my stomach.

It temporarily suppressed the emptiness in my stomach.

Two minutes later, Bai Sheng was finally able to stand up.

His condition has improved somewhat.

He decided to stop trying to tough it out.

I need to find a place to nourish myself.

Bai Sheng opened his phone's map navigation and searched for "Chinese medicine shop".

There's a recent one called Jishengtang, a time-honored brand.

It takes about fifteen minutes to cycle from Cuizhu Garden.

"Well, this is the only way. Let's give it a try."

Bai Sheng went downstairs and rode a shared bicycle all the way there.

To be honest, he still has some psychological reservations about traditional Chinese medicine.

During high school,

My neighbor is a stay-at-home mom who's self-taught in Traditional Chinese Medicine; she's overly enthusiastic.

Every few days, they would knock on the door with a pot of dark, murky medicinal soup.

The soup contained intact cicada shells and unidentified dried worms...

They insist that this stuff can boost immunity.

They wouldn't leave until they saw him drink it.

Bai Sheng naturally wouldn't drink it.

Every time, I would pour it into the toilet drain when she wasn't looking.

Jishengtang!

Bai Sheng stood in front of the door.

The storefront isn't very big.

A vermilion signboard hung up.

He opened the glass door and went inside.

A mixed medicinal fragrance wafted over.

Behind the counter,

A young woman with short hair was sitting there, holding a scale and weighing goji berries.

"Hello, I'd like to request some medicinal herbs."

Bai Sheng walked over and gave them the prescription.

"Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and prepared licorice root, three qian each..."

These were all the names of the medicines he had memorized from the annotations of Taoist books, word for word.

Although he didn't trust human prescriptions...

But I have great faith in the prescriptions in the Taoist scriptures.

"..."

After hearing the prescription, the girl looked him up and down and said, "Young man, do you have kidney deficiency?"

Bai Sheng: "..."
