Chapter 12: Can’t I Eat Them Like Jelly Beans?

"body tempering pill, Grade 2 Low Grade, 5 gold coins…"

"body tempering pill, Grade 2 Medium Grade, 7 gold coins…"

"body tempering pill, Grade 2 High Grade, 12 gold coins…"

Medicinal Pills are divided into Grades 1 to 9, and based on the strength of the medicinal potency, they are categorized into six levels: Waste Grade, Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Top Grade, and perfect quality.

Among them, High Grade is already very rare, Top Grade occasionally makes a fleeting appearance, and perfect quality Medicinal Pills appear almost only once every few years.

"The best is High Grade, 12 gold coins, equivalent to half a house."

Su Lang clicked his tongue in wonder: "But, it's just money, a thousand gold pieces spent will eventually return!"

"Give me 5 High Grade body tempering pills!"

As Su Lang spoke, he handed the booklet back to the staff member.

However, when his words reached the ears of those around him, it immediately caused a stir of discussion.

"What? Did I hear right? This guy wants 5 High Grade body tempering pills?"

"This young man, to ask for 5 High Grade body tempering pills right off the bat, is he joking?"

"That's 60 gold coins' worth of Medicinal Pills, can this guy afford it?"

"Does he not know what a gold coin is?"

"…"

Everyone looked at Su Lang as if they were looking at a fool.

"Are you sure you want 5 High Grade body tempering pills?"

The staff member also asked with some disbelief.

If a Martial Artist lord did this, he wouldn't be surprised.

But the guy in front of him had no Spiritual Qi fluctuations; he definitely wasn't a Formal Martial Artist, and he was wearing cheap clothes without a single piece of armor.

Looking like a fellow at the level of Primary or Intermediate Body Tempering, could he really produce 60 gold coins?

"Is 60 gold coins a lot? A bunch of paupers."

Su Lang glanced at the crowd with disdain, took out 60 gold coins from the System, and handed them to the staff member.

"Holy crap, he really took out 60 gold coins!"

"So rich, to be able to take out so much money during the Body Tempering stage."

"Misjudged him, misjudged him, this guy must be a Young Master!"

"Tsk tsk, a whole 60 gold coins, and he didn't even blink!"

"…"

The bystanders who were despised by Su Lang were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.

"This… here are the Medicinal Pills you wanted, sorry about that."

The staff member handed the Medicinal Pills to Su Lang and smiled apologetically.

"Mhm, this attitude is much better than that old hag's."

Su Lang showed a satisfied smile, then stuffed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth and turned to walk out.

This action of his once again drew shocked discussions from the crowd.

"This guy! He just ate it so casually? For such expensive pills, shouldn't one bathe, burn incense, and adjust their state before eating?"

"Yeah, and he just left! Without circulating his power to refine it!?"

"If he doesn't refine the Medicinal Pill, isn't he just letting the medicinal power waste away?"

"My god, is this guy a monster?"

"Why do I feel like he's a lunatic?"

"…"

Almost everyone stared dumbfounded at Su Lang's back.

Just then, Su Lang looked back and smiled: "Can't this Young Master eat them like jelly beans?"

"Pfft!"

In the corner, a frail Primary Body Tempering cultivator trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The others were also tongue-tied, unable to speak for a long time.

In reality, how could Su Lang eat hard-earned Medicinal Pills like jelly beans?

It's just that, no matter his posture—whether walking, sleeping, eating, or looking at beautiful women—the One-Click Cultivation Function was automatically helping him circulate his power.

Thus, the medicinal power was naturally refined!

"This cultivation speed is indeed fierce!"

Walking on the road, the Spiritual Qi around Su Lang swirled and drilled into his body.

The little white figure in the mysterious space was being submerged by gold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"System, how long will it take for me to Breakthrough to Quasi-Martial Artist?" Su Lang asked.

"host, you only need 10 hours to Breakthrough to Quasi-Martial Artist!"

"More than doubled? And five Medicinal Pills happen to last exactly 10 hours."

Su Lang nodded with satisfaction, "It seems these 60 gold coins were not spent in vain!"

The effect of the body tempering pill was very good, however, Su Lang did not consider eating Medicinal Pills all the time to maintain the doubled state.

Because that was too expensive, costing 144 gold coins a day!

Seven days of spending would be enough to upgrade a System function by one level, which would permanently double the Cultivation speed; it was clear which one was more cost-effective.

"Cultivation level waiting for Breakthrough… now it's time to look at the map!"

Su Lang took out the map and unfolded it, immediately seeing a large number of jagged areas and various annotations.
