Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 654 - 192: Treasure in the Secret Room, Strength Greatly Increased_3

But now that all thirty-six auxiliary medicines were complete and one of the two main medicines had been found, only one was lacking, which greatly increased the chances of success!

Chen Jie was satisfied with this achievement.

Moreover, he found a separate purple sandalwood box among these medicinal materials. Upon opening it, there was a [Spirit Transformation Pill] inside.

The Spirit Transformation Pill was indeed a treasure that could help someone in the Iron Bone Realm advance to Energy Transformation.

Chen Jie was quite happy to get this Spirit Transformation Pill. After Qin Ying’s three brothers were killed and he took over the Fishing Guild, the only strength left in Energy Transformation was Xiao Hu, which was too weak.

Compared to when Nan Batian was the Gang Leader, it was much worse. To maintain the Fishing Guild’s dominance in Mianshui, it was necessary to cultivate a few more Energy Transformation Masters.

However, cultivating Energy Transformation Masters was no easy feat, and Chen Jie, having only been in Mianshui for a year, had too shallow a foundation.

So it was difficult to train Energy Transformation Masters, but now with this ready-made Spirit Transformation Pill, it was possible to directly cultivate an Energy Transformation Master.

But who should receive this Spirit Transformation Pill?

Xiao Hu was directly ruled out, along with close associates Zhou Chu and Si Xi, while Chen Zhu and Chen Gou, being too young, were not under consideration.

That left Zhou Chu and Si Xi. Both were his right-hand men; Zhou Chu acted as his foreign affairs representative, handling most of the guild affairs.

And Si Xi, the chief logistics officer, though also a new convert.

But after following him, both had been utterly loyal; he couldn’t treat them differently!

Chen Jie thought it over and finally made up his mind.

"Zhou Chu, for you!"

"Ah!"

Zhou Chu looked at Chen Jie giving him this pill, which could almost decide one’s fate, with a face full of surprise.

"Hall Master, you... you give it to me?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Why not take it?"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhou Chu grabbed it quickly, and then looking at the pill in his hand, he couldn’t help but shed tears.

He thought of many things.

Despite usually being jovial, he was acutely aware of the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

A year ago, what was he? He was a husband who had married into his wife’s family, scorned by everyone, seen by people as a good-for-nothing loser.

Nothing more than a pile of dog shit!

But since meeting Jiu Si and following him, it felt like a meteoric rise.

This past year, his status had skyrocketed from being dismissed by the Sun Family, to being acknowledged, and then slightly looked up to.

He truly felt the change in his fate.

And now Jiu Si had given him this precious Spirit Transformation Pill.

What did the Spirit Transformation Pill represent? It represented an Energy Transformation Master!

And what did an Energy Transformation Master represent?

It represented status and position!

It meant, from now on, Zhou Chu would stand tall and become a prominent figure in Mianshui, advancing to the next level.

After advancing to Energy Transformation, even the Sun Family would have no choice but to look up to him. Zhou Chu felt an unprecedented exhilaration.

The thrill of a husband’s turnaround was something most people couldn’t understand.

But he understood, and what he understood even more was that his achievements today were all thanks to Chen Jiusi.

Without Chen Jiusi’s step-by-step support, he would still be the scorned husband, enduring others’ disdainful looks.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu’s eyes brimmed with tears: "Hall Master, I..."

Zhou Chu, covering his eyes, exchanged glances with Xiao Hu, and Chen Jie laughed, "Hey, hey, Hu Zi, see that? Your Brother Zhou is crying just like an old lady!"

Hu Zi grinned and said, "Haha, when has my Brother Zhou not been like an old lady."

"Go to hell!"

Zhou Chu, tears in his eyes, kicked towards Xiao Hu, who quickly dodged.

Instantly, the three of them burst into laughter; the affection among men was sometimes just that simple.

They had met each other in that small fishing village in Mianshui County and had come along this way, experiencing life and death together; their relationship was almost like that of brothers. Although Chen Jie was young, Zhou Chu and Xiao Hu treated him like an older brother.

Chen Jie patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder and said, "There’s no time like the present, Xiao Hu, you will protect Brother Zhou while he breaks through to Energy Transformation right here."

Zhou Chu replied, "Hmm."

Xiao Hu said, "Okay."

Then the two immediately began to take the elixir and attempt the breakthrough in the middle living room.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie, having nothing else to do, went to another room next door.

Upon entering, Chen Jie was captivated by everything before him; there was a wall of books, all secret martial arts manuals.

Chen Jie browsed through them and found more than what Peng Shizhong had amassed, although there were many duplicates. However, excluding the ones that repeated Peng Shizhong’s collection, there were still thirty-four unique martial arts manuals.

This too was a treasure of inestimable value.

Chen Jie looked through Nan Batian’s collection from start to finish.

It must be said that Nan Batian’s collection was much better than Peng Shizhong’s.

It included about twenty basic techniques for the Liu Jin Realm and below that Peng Shizhong did not have.

And for the Iron Bone Realm, there were seven or eight Intermediate Techniques.

There were even three Energy Transformation Techniques.

One was [Fuhu Fist], one was [Fierce Tiger Thirteen Forms] Saber Technique, and there was also a set of Inner Power Skill [Three-in-One Power].

Fuhu Fist and the Fierce Tiger Thirteen Forms appeared to originate from the same sect; the techniques were strongly related and probably part of a set.
