Chapter 7 Glow
Chen Ye grabbed the edge of the bed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
At the same moment, his joints emitted a series of subtle popping sounds, as if an invisible hand had been running through his bones from head to toe.
pain.
It was excruciating, bone-changing pain.
The pain was so intense that he almost cried out.
But he knew that once he called it out, it would definitely lead to unforeseen changes.
He held back, swallowing the roar that almost escaped his lips, and only let out a short, muffled groan.
The sweat that had seeped from my forehead rolled into my eyes, tasting both salty and spicy.
Chen Ye had no choice but to close his eyes.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the abnormal redness on her skin finally began to fade, and the swelling and discomfort in her body also subsided.
Chen Ye, panting, slowly loosened his grip on the bed board, his hands still trembling slightly.
He looked down at his hands, clenched his fist, and then relaxed it.
The knuckles of my fingers made a very faint clicking sound.
Has it been successful?
Chen Ye stood up, took a deep breath, and felt a solid sense of strength emanating from his body, as if he were lighter than ever before.
He glanced at the panel that was still floating in his line of sight.
Current life expectancy: 2 years, 4 months and 12 days
I was gritting my teeth in pain just now, but seeing these numbers has calmed me down.
My lifespan has been used up, and I've endured the pain.
Now he has finally managed to accumulate some resources.
Chen Ye then took out the remaining seven taels of silver that he had hidden under his pillow.
One tael of silver can redeem four days of life.
Seven taels of silver can redeem twenty-eight days.
Although it's not much, it's better than nothing.
Chen Ye had an idea and chose to redeem the money, which then vanished into thin air.
[Current life expectancy: 2 years, 5 months, and 9 days.]
Including the portion redeemed with silver, it actually only consumed five months and three days of lifespan.
His remaining life expectancy dropped to two years.
If I continue to take Xue Shen Dan daily, I can only last for another forty-three days at most.
What's more troublesome is that the lifespan consumed by the Blood Ginseng Pill is different from that of the pawned one, and it cannot be redeemed with silver.
Even if he does nothing, he will still die.
Fortunately, although Blood Ginseng Pills shorten lifespan, they can stimulate blood and qi, so they are still usable.
Since Zhang Tieyi was still feeding him, he had no choice but to continue eating.
The most important thing right now is not to live a long time, but to get out of here alive.
Chen Ye put away the panel and, after improving his cultivation level, did not choose to continue improving it.
Zhang Tieyi is coming to watch him practice tomorrow, so he needs to observe the other's reaction before deciding on his next move.
Chen Ye blew out the oil lamp.
The room, which was originally dimly lit, was suddenly plunged into darkness.
The rustling sounds of clothes being undressed echoed in the darkness.
Chen Ye lay on the bed and touched his wrist, where a blue vein was throbbing slightly under his fingertip.
One beat after another, steady and powerful, full of vitality.
Soon, even snoring gradually filled the darkness.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, someone knocked on the door of the east wing.
Chen Ye had just completed his breakthrough and was full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength. He didn't sleep well that night.
Hearing the noise, he became alert and woke up abruptly, instinctively glancing out the window.
The sky was still a bluish-gray.
There were no weapons as expected.
He relaxed slightly, then frowned, grabbed his coat from the bedside, put it on, and opened the door.
Gao Qiaoniang stood at the door, her face still a little sleepy: "Zhang Huyuan is here, waiting for you in the main room. Hurry up and get ready."
So early?
Chen Ye secretly estimated that today's arrival was at least half an hour earlier than usual.
That's a bit unusual.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
With a thought, Chen Ye felt the energy within his body flow, instantly clearing his mind, which had been foggy that morning.
After changing his clothes, Chen Ye pushed open the door and went out.
Upon arriving at the main hall, he noticed that the atmosphere today was somewhat different from usual.
Zhang Tieyi had a short knife at his waist, and his expression was solemn.
The candlelight on the table cast flickering light on his face.
The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Head Nurse Zhang, you wanted to see me?" Chen Ye turned his gaze away and asked first.
"Stand in position so I can take a look."
Zhang Tieyi raised his chin. Unlike usual, he did not administer the medicine directly today, but instead had him stand in a meditation posture first.
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat.
Was his breakthrough noticed last night?
No, that can't be it.
He had observed these past few days and knew that no one else would be there at that time.
He won't find out so soon.
Chen Ye calmed himself down. Although he had some doubts, he still did as instructed: "Yes."
Once he had firmly planted his feet, Zhang Tieyi simply stood aside and observed him without uttering a word.
The silence was so intense it was almost unsettling.
Chen Ye dared not make any rash moves, and did not mobilize the energy in his body, but only suppressed the charcoal-like warmth in his dantian.
He had only been standing there for a short while when he heard Zhang Tieyi ask, "Do you feel anything special?"
"I still have a fever," Chen Ye replied.
Zhang Tieyi's brows furrowed more and more deeply.
He stepped forward and placed a palm directly on Chen Ye's Guanyuan acupoint.
Chen Ye felt a chill creep into his body through Zhang Tieyi's arm, rushing straight to his core.
When the acupoint is stimulated, it naturally rebounds, generating a warm sensation.
Zhang Tieyi withdrew his hand, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. He muttered to himself, "The medicinal properties haven't been fully activated yet. My qi and blood aren't strong enough."
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured out a pill.
It looks about the same size as Blood Ginseng Pill, but its color is darker, almost dark red.
Zhang Tieyi simply commanded, "Eat."
Chen Ye glanced at him, and the other man's eyes held an undeniable pressure that left him no choice but to comply.
He silently accepted the pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.
This pill was far more potent than the Blood Ginseng Pill he had taken before; the burning sensation exploded the moment it entered his mouth.
The surging medicinal power churned in his stomach like magma, almost causing him to lose his balance and kneel on the spot.
He quickly activated his breathing technique, trying his best to neutralize the violent drug's effects.
[Current life expectancy: 2 years, 2 months, and 9 days.]
He stared at the reminder that suddenly appeared in his line of sight, his expression momentarily blank.
It wasn't twenty days, but nearly three months.
This pill is causing his remaining lifespan to drop to less than two years.
Because the medicinal power was so overwhelming, the flesh and blood throughout his body were like a sponge that had absorbed enough water, with no place left to hold it.
Chen Ye felt as if he were in an oven, his whole body burning with heat.
Even though he tried his best to refine it, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the continuous flow of medicinal power from his stomach.
Just when Chen Ye was at his wit's end, the powerful medicinal force seemed to have resigned itself to its fate and reluctantly squeezed into the Guanyuan acupoint.
The Qihai and Shimen acupoints were also filled in.
Chen Ye looked down and discovered that a golden ray of light had emerged from his skin at the Guanyuan acupoint.
Immediately afterwards, a second golden ray of light shone at the Qihai acupoint.
Then came the third one.
Three golden lights twinkled like stars in his lower dantian, standing out conspicuously in the dimly lit hall.
