Before sinking, his first instinct was to take out his bracelet and talk to his third senior brother or someone else.

But after thinking about it, Shen Qian gave up on the idea.

Just like when he did the "Tears of the Prisoner" bounty mission, even if Shen Qian sensed that there was a king behind him, did he really have the qualifications to investigate and uncover the truth with his current strength?

After a moment of blankness, his expression returned to calm, and he shifted his gaze to the last line of text in the log.

"You have successfully expanded the system's capacity and obtained a second battery pack."

After looking at it for a while, Chen Qian, unsure of the meaning of the sentence, exited the AFK interface and returned to the system's main interface.

Upon seeing the system's remaining energy, Shen Qian was momentarily stunned.

[First battery pack: 59%]

Second battery pack: 100%

He suddenly understood what "capacity expansion" meant.

Just yesterday, when we checked before the sinking, the system still had more than 90% of its energy remaining.

After all, since leaving the Spirit Witch World last time, Shen Qian had hardly used the system. Even when he made a slash because of Ji You that day, the energy consumed was not much.

But at this moment, the percentage of the system's remaining energy has decreased, which can only mean that the system can hold more energy.

In addition, the system has an extra battery pack!

That's the biggest surprise.

This means that the system's battery life has been greatly improved.

Based on pre-sinking estimates, this represents at least a three to four-fold increase compared to before.

What does this mean?

If it were to happen again, Shen Qian estimated that the system's original energy would be enough to analyze the "Calamity Buddha".

Speaking of this extremely powerful divine ability, Shen Qian's heart stirred.

Does that mean he already has enough resources to deduce subsequent methods?

But after thinking about it, Shen Qian shook his head again.

He has only cultivated to the third level of the "Calamity Buddha" so far. It is almost foreseeable that he will have to go through a long process to reach the current seventh level.

Putting the system's energy into this at this point would undoubtedly be a huge waste.

On the contrary, in the subsequent "Battle of the Nine Heavens", Shen Qian never forgot the divination from Lao Gao that "one side will have smooth sailing, but nine out of ten will die".

Sufficient system energy is the greatest source of confidence before sinking.

However, with this second battery pack, Chen Qian has much more confidence in dealing with any possible unexpected events.

...

When Shen Qian returned to the hotel, the moon was already high in the sky, and Ji Ruoshui had already fallen asleep on the sofa at some point.

She was curled up, one arm tucked under her body, fast asleep.

Her face was hidden between light and shadow, so beautiful it seemed unreal.

Shen Qian glanced at the still-lit lights in the room and the sliced ​​peach on the table, and knew that she had probably been waiting for him.

I picked up a piece of peach and put it in my mouth. It was sweet and juicy, and I immediately felt refreshed, as if all my fatigue had been wiped away.

Now, with his mental strength and control over his body growing stronger, he can clearly feel that the peach flesh has turned into a trickle, silently seeping into the deepest part of his body.

This energy doesn't enhance elemental power or physical strength, but rather... vitality.

When Shen Qian first gathered his primordial energy, his physical body almost collapsed. It was only because of his eighth senior sister's peach flesh that he was able to overcome that hurdle and condense unprecedented chaotic energy.

His combat power far surpasses that of others at the same level. Besides his ten-aperture body, the existence of chaotic primordial energy is also a major factor.

However, this advantage is not very obvious at the martial artist stage, since people like Liu Changqing who possess primordial energy are extremely rare.

At the Mountain and Sea stage, even if a martial artist does not possess primordial energy, the existence of the "Dao" determines that their offensive methods will possess various attributes.

Only then will the chaotic elemental power truly unleash its power.

Soon, Shen Qian finished off the entire plate of peach meat.

Recently, Shenqian has been eating a peach every day without fail. Putting everything else aside, Shenqian feels that his lifespan is probably already comparable to that of a real mountain and sea.

That's right, the most direct feedback on vitality is lifespan.

A single peach can extend one's lifespan.

If this were to be revealed to the outside world, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

Shen Qian once used dragon saliva worth 80 million to refine three Evergreen Pills, which were eventually auctioned off for a sky-high price of nearly 500 million.

The lifespan increase from a single Evergreen Pill is generally three to five years, depending on individual differences.

Time that money can buy is so expensive, and often there's no market for it.

However, considering that even a high-level martial artist's lifespan is only fifty or sixty years longer than that of an ordinary person, and only after entering the extraordinary realm will it increase significantly, this price seems reasonable.

The peaches that Eighth Senior Sister kept taking out, judging from Shen Qian's feeling, were probably no less effective than the Evergreen Pill, and in some ways even stronger.

Because a person might lose the effect after eating a few Evergreen Pills, but eating peach flesh does not pose this risk at all.

The vitality it provides can be continuously accumulated.

For some reason, Eighth Senior Sister's peaches seem to have some special meaning. Anyway, so far, Big Brother Gao doesn't know, and it seems that none of the other senior brothers and sisters have eaten Ji Ruoshui's peaches.

Shen Qian felt that the way they were looking at him was rather intriguing.

Perhaps, the secret will only be revealed when Ji Ruoshui is able to completely open her heart to him.
