Book 4: Chapter 12: Overly Specialized Tech Tree

Comparing my world and this place, the ordinary people of Terra are stronger than those of my world; however, the strength of the experts... With all due respect, everyone here is trash.

“What does He Who Knows Fate need? Herbs? Medical equipment?” Shining appeared excited upon hearing that Chen Heng could heal Liz’s legs. In contrast to Shining’s excitement, Nightingale showed no obvious change in expression.

“I don’t need those. Here, catch!” Chen Heng took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and tossed it to Shining. In reality, he took it out of his spatial storage.

“What is this?” Shining looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hands with misgivings, then at Chen Heng in confusion.

“This is a secret medicine from Yan. This medicine can not only cure Miss Nightingale’s legs but also help nourish her body and heal her hidden internal injuries. There are twenty pills in this bottle; take one every day. Miss Nightingale should be almost fully healed after finishing this bottle.”

[TL Note: Yan is a nation in Terra. Here is more information on it: /wiki/Yan.]

In reality, this medicine was called the Wood Spiritual Pill, a vulnerary used by Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators even disdained using such medication, as they had better options.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

When a cultivator entered the Foundation Building Realm and Golden Core Realm, they were no longer ordinary people, becoming higher-tiered lifeforms. Medication that could treat Golden Core Realm cultivators would work on stronger ordinary people.

This medicine was already among the weaker medicines in Chen Heng’s spatial storage. Some of the more potent ones required just one pill to heal everything in ten minutes.

Back when Chen Heng’s father advanced to the Body Merger Realm at thirty, he knew he would not live for much longer. The more talented a Chen Clan member was, the earlier they died. This was a curse that the Chen Clan had borne for millennia. As a member of the Chen Clan, he was aware of it.

Hence, Chen Heng’s father amassed great wealth for Chen Heng after breaking into the Body Merger Realm. In reality, he was not the only one to do that. Every generation of the Chen Clan had done that.

Thus, the Chen Clan’s wealth had increased with every generation, but the Chen Clan members never had the fortune to enjoy this wealth. This resulted in more things being added to the ancestral necklace every generation. It accumulated millennia of wealth, as not much was used. All this was now in Chen Heng’s hands.

To guarantee the safety of this storage necklace, Chen Heng even purchased an absolute binding service from the Dimension Administrators Association’s store, which cost him 100 points. As long as he lived, it would be impossible to lose this ancestral necklace.

“Liz, how do you feel?” Shining sat beside Nightingale when Nightingale swallowed the pill.

“Don’t disturb her for now. This medicine is very mild, so it might take some time.”

Three minutes later, Nightingale suddenly felt something coming out of her throat. She hastily turned to the side of the bed and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Blargh!

“Liz, what’s wrong? Mister He Who Knows Fate, this...” Shining panicked upon seeing Nightingale vomit blood.

“This is normal. Don’t you see the black blood? This is the result of the secret medicine treating the accumulated injuries in Miss Nightingale’s body.”

“My body feels lighter.” The normally silent Nightingale spoke just then, verifying the effect of the medicine she had taken.

“Really? That’s great! Thank you, He Who Knows Fate.”

“It’s good that it is effective. Continue taking the medicinal pills in this bottle, and Miss Nightingale’s injuries should be completely healed. However, she will need to rest and recuperate after that. Since she is healing and we have verified the medicine’s effects, I’ll go ahead.”

“I’ll send you out.”

After Shining walked Chen Heng to the door, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to Shining. “I still have some things to tell Miss Shining.”

“Go on.” Shining did not interrupt Chen Heng because she felt grateful to him.
