Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Chen You felt a chill run down his spine.

He had just learned the Three Yang Fist. If he were to display extraordinary strength directly, it would be too heaven-defying, and people would inevitably think that he might have some kind of special opportunity.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Chen You immediately pretended to be tired. "How about we rest for a while..."

"Okay, let's rest for a while then."

Yang Zhenzhen frowned, wondering if she had misperceived something.

He shook his head. That's true. The other party has just started learning martial arts. How could he possibly find it easy to walk on such a mountain path?

"Here, eat."

Yang Zhenzhen took out a meat pie from the bag at her waist.

"These are meat patties made from the meat of a magical beast," Yang Zhenzhen casually mentioned, handing over a package of oiled paper.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

Chen You was starving, but gratefully he took the food and took a bite. His eyes lit up immediately.

This meat pie not only has a crispy crust, but the meat inside is also very chewy and flavorful, with an aroma that goes straight to the top of your head.

Really delicious!

Yang Zhenzhen slowly took a bite of her meat pie, her eyes suddenly becoming deep: "Chen You, if we can really get the century-old wild ginseng this time, not only will you become my father's personal disciple, but you will also be my sworn brother! Here, no one will dare to bully you!!!"

"I understand, thank you for your kind words, Senior Sister!" Chen You nodded repeatedly, her mouth still stuffed with meat patties.

"However..." Yang Zhenzhen's tone shifted, her voice turning cold, "If you dare to play me, you won't be going home today if you don't get the wild ginseng!"

A blatant threat!

Chen You remained calm, cupping his hands in a smile and saying, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'm a very honest person and I never lie."

"That's good."

Having eaten their fill, the two dusted off their hands and continued on their way.

To Yang Zhenzhen's surprise, after they started again, Chen You's physical strength was significantly better, and he walked briskly, showing no signs of fatigue.

But then she thought about it again and felt relieved.

It was probably because it was the first time they had eaten the meat of a magical beast.

For ordinary people, consuming this highly nutritious food for the first time will indeed result in a significant increase in physical strength.

Little did she know that Chen You had not only eaten meat, but his Three Yang Fist technique had also quietly reached the minor completion stage.

"It's nearby!"

Before long, the two arrived at a messy, desolate pile of rocks.

In Chen You's mind, the wild ginseng light spot displayed by the Desire Beads was not far away, almost overlapping with his line of sight.

"Under that rock!" Chen You pointed to a weathered boulder half-buried in the soil ahead.

He walked over quickly, bent down, parted the weeds, and peered inside.

Sure enough, in the dark corner of the crack in the rock, a plant stood quietly.

A few small, glistening berries, like red agate, hang from its top. Its palm-width compound leaves sway gently in the mountain breeze, and the roots below faintly reveal a rugged, yellowish-brown hue—it is indeed that ancient, century-old wild ginseng!

"Let me see!"

Unable to contain her excitement, Yang Zhenzhen strode forward.

When she saw what the wild ginseng looked like, her beautiful eyes lit up immediately.

She often saw her father taking various precious medicinal herbs and had a good understanding of pharmacology. At a glance, she recognized that this wild ginseng had fine, wrinkled skin and prominent pearl-like bumps, making it an absolutely genuine century-old wild ginseng!

"Great, great! I didn't expect it to be true!" Yang Zhenzhen exclaimed with delight, praising repeatedly.

"Senior sister, let me dig it up. I learned the craft from my herb-gathering master before, so I know how to extract it intact," Chen You volunteered.

Yang Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, be careful not to damage the roots. If the roots break, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Chen You took out a specially made small shovel from his pocket, squatted down, and became focused.

He first carefully cleared away the pebbles and weeds around the wild ginseng, and then dug down the soil inch by inch along the ginseng reed.

His movements were extremely light and steady. Before long, he had perfectly preserved a century-old wild ginseng with roots as dense as an old man's beard.

After obtaining the wild ginseng, the two dared not linger and immediately set off, quickly leaving the desolate pile of rocks.

They traveled swiftly, and by the time they returned to the outskirts of the city, it was completely dark.

Chen You stopped and politely cupped her hands, saying, "Senior Sister, it's getting late, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, then you can go back now. Remember to come to the martial arts school to find me first thing tomorrow morning." Yang Zhenzhen carefully put away the wild ginseng, and her gaze towards Chen You was much gentler than when she arrived.

As if she had thought of something, she earnestly instructed, "By the way, keep it a secret for now regarding you finding the wild ginseng! Our Yan Yang Martial Arts School has made quite a few enemies in the city. If outsiders find out that you were the one who performed this great service, there's no guarantee that someone won't secretly try to harm you. Remember, this is for your own good."

Chen You's heart stirred, and he subconsciously glanced at the desire beads in his mind.

On the display board, Yang Zhenzhen's favorability rating towards him had unknowingly soared to 77 points!

This number already indicates a very trusting and intimate relationship.

"Yes, Senior Sister, I understand. Take care, Senior Sister." Chen You replied honestly, watching Yang Zhenzhen walk quickly into the city.

At the same time, he also received feedback on his desire value from Yang Zhenzhen.

[Desire: My father has fallen ill with a strange disease and his injuries are severe. The doctor says that at least a hundred-year-old wild ginseng is needed to cure him! I hope we can find it. (Completed, 200 Desire Points awarded.)]

"Phew... I got 200 Desire Points and successfully entered the martial arts school. This time I really hit the jackpot."

Chen You couldn't help but laugh.

"Find news about me in the vicinity."

As he walked, Chen You consumed another 30 points of desire.

Now he also knows exactly how to use the rosary beads.

One is to find opportunities to make money nearby!

One is to find nearby information related to oneself.

Overall, searching for relevant information nearby is more comprehensive, covering opportunities, crises, information on major forces, and so on.

[Message 1: You haven't gone home yet this late, Xu Qiuxue and Xu Yue are very worried! Xu Yue suggested that her sister stay with you, but Xu Qiuxue blushed and warned Xu Yue not to say anything reckless.]

[Message 2: Gao Chengyang, a senior disciple at Yanyang Martial Arts School, has been stuck at the second-grade Ming Jin level for three years! He urgently needs a second-grade treasure fish to break through! Seeing you bring a treasure fish into the martial arts school, he guessed that your fishing skills were top-notch and wanted to ask you to fish for him. Therefore, he is showing you kindness today.]

"So that's how it is... You think my fishing skills are top-notch...?"

He said that it was no wonder that a senior brother with such a distinguished background would take care of an ordinary person for no reason.

So it turns out, it was all because of ulterior motives!

Because he is valuable, we should treat him well!

[Message 3: Your childhood friend Niu Er's wife, Chen Juan, was harassed by a thug named Zhao Er today, and Niu Er got into a fight with him! Lin Hu stood up for Zhao Er and demanded 10 taels of silver from Niu Er!! Niu Er can't pay, so Lin Hu is giving him three days, or else he'll take his wife Chen Juan to a brothel to pay off the debt!]

Chen Juan asked Niu Er to borrow money from you, but Niu Er refused, saying that you weren't having an easy time either. He planned to take Chen Juan away from this troublesome place. Chen Juan cried, not wanting to leave, because her parents were there.
