After partnering with the Xiao clan, their restaurant is quite famous for unique and special dishes that Shen Yi came up with using knowledge from other dimensions in his mind.
As for why his father spent thousands of gold coins and brought such an expensive product,
It was because he told him that he knows a recipe that uses the second-order beast blood and other first-order medicine materials; it will increase his physical foundation. Even his father can use it to break through the dou practitioner realm, as he has been stuck in the nine-star dou disciple stage for years.
"I will exchange two blood sacs for that thunder ice cube; another one will be exchanged for the washing marrow recipe."
He muttered thoughtfully and then opened the interface and directly exchanged the two blood sacs for the thunder ice cube.
Instantly the blood sacs disappeared, and a fist-sized white cube materialized in place of the blood sacs in front of him.
'Is this the thunder ice cube?'
He thought as he observed the dark blue veins flickering in the middle of the ice cube, as if lightning were trapped inside it.
Just when he touched it, he was startled, feeling a cold current seeping inside his arm at an alarming rate and even paralyzing his nerves.
He hurriedly sat down cross-legged, grabbing the cube tightly, and ran the primordial thunder art.
As his qi rolled up through the meridian and touched the cold and paralyzing energy from the cube,
Instantly, as if triggering something, the exercise route changed, and his qi started devouring the chilly thunder energy at an alarming rate and compressing it inside the liquid whirlpool inside his dantian.
As time passed,
The cube in him slowly melted away, and more and more dark blue lightning flickered on his arms and body, which was then devoured by his qi and merged with the liquid whirlpool in his dantian.
Slowly the dark bluish color mixed with his purple dou qi; he felt the qi in his dantian become more heavy and oppressive. At the same time, as it passed through his physique, it started enhancing his strength.
Four-star, dou master realm achieved.
'The exercise has been successfully ranked up to the top yellow rank, probably because the treasure was of dual attribute, skipping the middle rank directly. Also, the dou qi route has been optimized, and at the same time I can now absorb water or ice attribute energy along with the lightning element from the atmosphere, which doubles my absorption rate automatically.'
He thought to himself, observing the difference in his dou qi and exercise, then he glanced at the talent interface and added,
"I want to exchange a washing marrow recipe that requires second-order blood and first-order blood orchid, purple spirit grass, and blood qi roots or blood genoderma."
Instantly the interface flickered in front of him, and a recipe name appeared in front of him.
[Washing marrow liquid]
[Heart-quenching pill]
[Blood purifying medicine]
(Click for more options.)
…
Shen Yi glanced at the list thoughtfully. 'Leave the blood- and heart-related medicine, as I am sure there is no doubtamong my ancestors. Just washing marrow liquid is fine.'
He thought and exchanged the washing marrow liquid with the second-order blood sac, then he analyzed the new memory containing the recipe that appeared in his mind.
'Well, it's easy to prepare this liquid; I just have to grind, quench, and mix the medicinal plants in different ratios and then finally add the blood of the beast to boost the efficiency.'
He thought and then grabbed the three medicine plants one by one, putting them between his palms.
Force technique!
Force Grinding!
Force quenching!!
Instantly the medicinal plants were forcefully ground and quenched in a specific ratio, and then he mixed them directly in a bowl.
Finally adding the blood of the beast, a viscous red liquid presented in front of him emitting a pungent bloody smell with a little woody whiff,
'It smells the same as described in the recipe, as expected of a recipe from a biotech-based advanced civilization.'
He thought to himself and then filled the bottle with the marrow washing liquid, and then he walked outside the room.
Seeing his mother working in the kitchen, he walked toward her, passed the bottle, and said,
"Mother, please pass this on to Father and tell him to use three drops in a tub full of water and soak in it daily for ten days straight."
Shen Yue glanced at the fist-sized bottle filled with bloody liquid and then asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's washing marrow liquid; it will help Father to break through the dou practitioner realm. You can also use it; there are almost a hundred drops in it."
Shen Yi replied calmly, looking at her. Shen Yue was startled and then spoke hesitatingly, "You should use it. Why are you wasting such precious medicine on us old people?"
"I already have gotten my share; also, this medicine potency will disappear after ten days. It's better for everyone to use it before it expires."
Shen Yue nodded after understanding his word, then put away the bottle. Shen Yi turned around and returned to his room.
…
Time passed like a passing cloud; four years later,
Inside the Wu Tan city market's bustling street,
Two ten-year-old children were confronting each other, while onlookers were looking at them in surprise and whispering among themselves.
Thud!!!
Instantly one of them overpowered the other, punching his face and throwing him away. There were no other Xiao Yan and Jia Lei Ao, from the Xiao and Jia Lei clans, respectively.
Upon sliding on the ground, young master Jia glared at Xiao Yan and cursed, "Xiao Yan, you bastard, wait for me."
He hurriedly stood up and turned around and walked away angrily.
