Chapter 22
The Miraculous Effects of the Golden Elixir
Chen Huan took out another golden pill and put it in his mouth.
The taste was the same as before.
Unfortunately, the effect was greatly reduced.
It felt like I only achieved about one-tenth of what I expected on my first try, or even less.
Chen Huan immediately understood, "The reason the effect is so significant is because my original physical condition level was too low."
"At this level, there's not much room for improvement with pills."
"What a waste of emotion..."
He quickly searched through his inherited memories for other medicines that could improve his physical condition.
There are quite a few types, but as the level increases, the required medicines become increasingly diverse, making Chen Huan doubt whether these things can be found on Earth.
Let's leave it at that for now.
"At least the meridians are now unblocked. I should practice diligently and find more opportunities to treat people's illnesses. Using my true energy to clear blockages is also a way to do so."

Chen Huan put away the remaining golden pills.
At this point, it was discovered that because impurities in the body were being expelled through the pores, the surface of the body looked as if it were covered with a layer of foul-smelling snot.
It smells and tastes bad.
He planned to take a shower.
Once inside the shower, I grabbed a plastic ladle and started pouring water from the bucket over my head.
After taking a shower, I immediately felt much better.
I was enjoying my shower when the shower door suddenly opened gently.
Then a figure flashed in.
"Chunlan?" Chen Huan was both surprised and delighted.
He went straight over and hugged the person.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me like that." Li Chunlan said softly, her face flushed, and then closed the door behind her.
"What are you pretending for? You sneaked over here, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Chen Huan couldn't hold back any longer.
"I'm here to help you scrub your back, don't overthink it," Li Chunlan said, suppressing a laugh.
Then she couldn't help but whisper to Chen Huan, "Zhao Liping is reading a medical book right now and won't be out for a while..."
Half an hour later, Li Chunlan, whose legs were feeling weak, pushed open the shower door and sneaked out.
He muttered to himself, "He seems much stronger than before."
"What? You've gotten so much stronger!" Zhao Liping walked out of the house like a ghost.
Li Chunlan panicked slightly and stammered, "It's nothing, you must have misheard me."
After saying that, he quickly went back inside.
Zhao Liping frowned slightly and glanced at the shower room.
Li Chunlan hadn't closed the door properly, and that one glance left Zhao Liping speechless.
"The two of them..."
I stood there for a few seconds, then heard the shower door open and quickly turned around and ran to the side.
Chen Huan walked out shirtless, looking refreshed and energetic.
After my physical fitness improved, I was indeed very different from before.
Although the internal energy in my body increased significantly in a short period of time, it was not enough to immediately cause a fatal stagnation.
According to his estimation, all problems could be solved by practicing diligently for just one or two hours.
Back in the room, I immediately entered a meditative state and became completely absorbed in it.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already broad daylight.
Thinking that he had to go to town early to sell fish today, Chen Huan washed his face and went straight to the water tank in the yard.
I glanced inside and was immediately startled.
"Why are these fish different?" Chen Huan muttered, reaching out to grab a large black fish.
He noticed that the python stripes on the blackfish had darkened in color.
At first, I was a little worried that I might have fed the fish the leftover medicine residue yesterday, which caused the bad change.
But after reaching out and touching it, I was surprised to find that the flesh of this big black fish had become firmer and more resilient, and it felt much better than before.
He immediately grabbed the fish and took it to the kitchen, where he quickly butchered it and cut off a piece of fish meat with a knife.
The meat quality is indeed much better than the one I ate yesterday.
Moreover, the fish meat even emitted a faint fragrance, similar to the natural aroma of herbs, which was very appealing.
I dipped it in the soy sauce next to it and ate a piece raw; it tasted incredibly delicious.
"When good luck comes your way, everything goes smoothly."
"The quality of the blackfish fed with the dregs of medicine has improved several levels, so the price should go up accordingly, right?" Chen Huan put down the fish and couldn't wait to go to town to try his luck.
"Chen Huan, what are you busy with?" Li Chunlan asked from inside the house.
"I'll scoop these fish out and sell them in town later," Chen Huan replied casually, finding a large plastic bucket and starting to catch the fish.
At this moment, Zhao Liping came over and poured out the water for washing her face.
Intentionally or unintentionally, she got close to Chen Huan.
Chen Huan turned his head, his face almost touching Zhao Liping's fair thigh.
This girl was wearing a pair of very thin, loose-fitting shorts that she had slept in the night before.
Chen Huan first smelled a woman's unique fragrance, and subconsciously looked up, only to be shocked by what he saw.
"What are you looking at? Is it pretty?" Zhao Liping asked him coquettishly, holding a washbasin.
Chen Huan swallowed hard. "It's pretty good."
"Is all you can do is watch?" Zhao Liping said softly.
"I'm a decent person, just take a look," Chen Huan replied with a grin.
"What are you being so serious about?" Zhao Liping bit her lip, her tone surprisingly carrying a hint of resentment.
He then quickly leaned down and whispered in Chen Huan's ear, his breath sweet as orchids, "I don't care what's going on between you and your sister-in-law, but tonight I'm determined to learn your medical skills."
After saying that, she ignored Chen Huan's expression and reaction, turned around and went to pour water with light steps.
"We've been found out?" Chen Huan asked, somewhat embarrassed.
Recalling Zhao Liping's tone and expression just now, he then smiled, "So impatient?"
Without even having breakfast, Chen Huan secured the large plastic bucket containing the black carp to the back of his bicycle and then pedaled towards the town.
Fortunately, these blackfish can survive out of water for a while, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to be transported by just a bicycle.
There is a place in the town that is similar to a morning market. Although it is not large, there are still many people who get up early to buy vegetables or do other shopping.
Chen Huan didn't dare to delay on the way and arrived at the morning market as quickly as possible.
He found an open space on the outer side, put his hands on his hips, and shouted loudly, "Fish for sale! Wild black carp, some weighing three or four pounds, some weighing seventeen or eighteen pounds."
"Don't miss out! Top-quality river seafood, delicious and flavorful, it's a steal!"
Chen Huan's voice was loud and distinctive, immediately attracting people's attention.
"How much is your black carp?"
"Is ten yuan a piece okay?" A plump, fair-skinned middle-aged woman with a head full of curls came over to ask the price.
Chen Huan rolled her eyes. "Sister, ten yuan can't even buy a fish tail."
"Fifteen yuan a pair, sell me two?" A man with a small nose and small eyes, carrying a vegetable basket, gave out his price with great arrogance.
"Get lost!" Chen Huan replied politely.
Many people came to ask about the price, but they were all desperate to get a bargain, wishing they could buy two for ten yuan.
Chen Huan was deeply disappointed. "Is it really that hard to find someone who appreciates talent?"
A woman selling vegetables at a nearby stall kindly reminded him, "Young man, most people don't recognize this kind of fish. If it costs more than five yuan a pound, no one will buy it."
"Go check out the intersection ahead. There's a sauerkraut fish restaurant there; it should be the right place."
Chen Huan suddenly realized, "Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?"
The taste was the same as before.
Unfortunately, the effect was greatly reduced.
It felt like I only achieved about one-tenth of what I expected on my first try, or even less.
Chen Huan immediately understood, "The reason the effect is so significant is because my original physical condition level was too low."
