Chapter 144 of "New Urban Farmers" (10097): Internal Body Strengthening Pill! (Two chapters completed)
Wei Cang's thoughts suddenly became jumbled. Was Wen Huai the child's mother? But it was definitely Qin Ye Cuihua! It was just...
"My dear in-laws!" Aunt Yang stared at her mother, her mouth agape in astonishment.
"What's wrong with you all? Why are you all staring blankly?" Mom looked at everyone with surprise, feeling a little creeped out by their stares.
She didn't even notice the change in herself! But then again, her mother had never cared about makeup or anything like that in her entire life. Zhang Guodong continued eavesdropping in the room while wiping away sweat.
"Come with me, my dear in-law!" Aunt Yang snapped out of her daze and, without another word, pulled her mother into her room.
A moment later, I heard my mother exclaim in surprise from inside the house, followed by "You brat!" and then her voice lowered as she talked to Aunt Yang about something.
Dad finally realized what was happening and rushed into the house. Staring at Zhang Guodong, he asked, "Guodong, what's wrong with your mother? What happened?"
Zhang Guodong smiled helplessly and then repeated the fabricated story, making the invented character even more vivid.
"You became younger after taking one pill? You turned back the clock?" Zhang Zhengrong said in disbelief.
Zhang Guodong nodded and said, "That's right, I also ate one that's very good for my health. Do you see that I look a little different than before? It's just a pity that there weren't enough!"
Uncle Huang also came in. Upon hearing this, he looked at Zhang Guodong and said with his yellow hair, "Unbelievable!"
These words were spoken by my mother.
Indeed, that was true. Zhang Guodong was even more surprised. He had already anticipated that ordinary people would experience more noticeable changes after consuming the "elixir of immortality" than he had, but he hadn't expected his prediction to be so conservative. His mother seemed to have become five years younger in an instant!
My energy and spirits suddenly became much stronger!
Zhang Guodong believes that given some time, perhaps in ten days to half a month, the skin can become darker and even better.
"Is this medicine really safe without any side effects?" Dad asked, still worried.
Zhang Guodong was both amused and exasperated, then nodded vigorously. He thought to himself, "Dad, I've already tried it myself and noticed every change in my body—there were absolutely no conflicts or side effects!"
"Such a miraculous medicine? Son, do you have any more pills? Give your dad one too!" the father said excitedly, his tone shifting. He was tempted too! What young person wouldn't yearn for such a thing?
Zhang Guodong quickly agreed.
He had originally prepared some explanations for his father, but they were all useless. This "immortality elixir" was indeed a good medicine, and a miraculous one at that!
It was originally prepared for my parents.
“Of course Dad has some, it’s for you and Mom. Uncle Huang and Aunt Yang have some too, but there’s not much of it. So we can’t tell anyone, or it’ll cause a lot of trouble!” Zhang Guodong said.
Dad and Uncle Huang nodded hurriedly.
“But Dad, wait a little longer. My mom still needs one more pill!” Zhang Guodong said with a smile.
"Then hurry up and go!" Dad said with a laugh, waving his hand. Zhang Guodong quickly dodged away.
Inside Aunt Yang's house.
My mother looked at her face in the mirror, which appeared five years younger. She seemed lost in thought, unsure what to believe. Five years is a significant period in life for someone of her age.
I never imagined that my lost beauty could be restored one day.
Aunt Yang, three years younger than my mother, looked at her mother's transformation with envy and said, "My dear mother-in-law, you look several years younger! Even your skin looks younger!"
"I realized I used to buy all sorts of beauty and skincare products haphazardly!"
These words left Zhang Guodong, who had just entered the room, speechless. Was he treating this elixir as a beauty product? This was...
"The Elixir of Immortality! Its effects are deeper within the body, not just superficial beauty treatments!"
The difference between heaven and earth!
However, this statement cannot be explained; otherwise, there would be even more problems.
"Mom looks much younger and prettier! Hehe, but your son has another pill here. You're young..." Zhang Guodong cautiously approached, chuckling awkwardly. Then, another bright yellow, crystalline health-enhancing pill appeared in his hand!
"Longevity Elixir" and "Health Elixir" have different effects and should not be confused! The latter, when taken regularly, can restore an individual's strength to that of a youth!
One is "prolonging life," and the other is "immunity to all diseases and boundless strength."
"Oh? There's more? Why didn't you bring out the good stuff earlier?" Mom grabbed the "Health Pill" and got up to go into the bathroom; this time she was more experienced. Then, as if remembering something, she turned back to Zhang Guodong and said, "Son, do you have any more of these pills? Get one for your Aunt Yang too!"
"There were four pills in total, including the one we just had, but there are only two of these left. That's just enough for you and my dad!" Zhang Guodong said hurriedly, glancing at the expectant Aunt Yang.
Actually, after Dad and Mom took the "Health-Building Pill," only one miscellaneous pill remained. So, let's just leave it for later. Anyway, Uncle Huang and Aunt Yang are younger than Dad and Mom. Having the "Longevity Pill" is basically enough.
Yang Qin exclaimed with delight, "One is enough. I'm benefiting from my mother-in-law's good fortune!"
Mom smiled contentedly, "Don't be so polite. We're family now. It's only right that Guodong takes care of you!"
That's beautifully said! Zhang Guodong gives it a thumbs up. Mom's skill has improved so quickly! When Mom reappeared before everyone, they were all puzzled. Mom's face looked rosier and healthier, but there weren't any other major changes. "The main effect of the Body Strengthening Pill is on strength. It's more effective at detoxification than the Longevity Pill, but since the first time it was the Longevity Pill, the effects after detoxification weren't as dramatic as the first time."
But Mom herself was in high spirits. Her arms and legs had gained a lot of strength. No wonder no one could tell!
Then there were Dad, Uncle Huang, and Aunt Yang. All three of them took the "Longevity Pill." Dad and Uncle Huang changed more, looking five years younger! Aunt Yang, perhaps due to her careful maintenance, seemed to have become four years younger.
The second "Health Pill" was taken by my dad. Its effects were remarkable! Only those who have personally taken it know the secret of this "Health Pill." His arms and legs have become significantly stronger.
Zhang Guodong didn't go back to Hongtan for dinner. Instead, he ate at Uncle Huang's house.
On this day, with such a shocking event, everyone seemed to have returned to a few years ago, and they drank to their hearts' content. Even my mother, who never drinks, and Aunt Yang, who has a low alcohol tolerance, drank quite a bit.
Then Zhang Guodong rested in the guest room.
But I had only been asleep for a short while when my dad came over with a serious expression. His alcohol tolerance used to be quite high in the army, which was nothing compared to what I'd just experienced.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Zhang Guodong asked in surprise.
"Guodong, we won't ask you where these things came from, but you must be careful not to let anyone else know about them, otherwise it will cause you a lot of trouble!" Dad said.
Zhang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "So that's what it is."
"Don't worry, no one else knows about this except you! Besides, these pills aren't something you can just get your hands on; if they were for sale, I doubt many people could afford them, haha!"
"It's good that you know it's a secret, go to sleep early!" Dad nodded and left the house.
He knew that such a miraculous medicine was unheard of, and if it were to be sold, it would probably be incredibly expensive. But the trouble that would come with it was far greater!
Zhang Guodong lay down, deep in thought.
The night was silent.
Zhang Guodong woke up promptly at six o'clock the next morning. He then went to Taoyuan to practice his boxing. To his surprise, after ten repetitions, he felt that he still had energy left.
"Is it related to the Body Strengthening Pill? The fewer toxins and impurities in the flesh and blood, the more spiritual energy it absorbs, and the greater the changes in the body will be?" Zhang Guodong gasped for breath. He felt the process of spiritual energy permeating his flesh and blood and tried the eleventh time to perform the Mutated Five Elements Fist!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The air crackled with explosions. The more Zhang Guodong practiced, the more difficult it became, as if the soil on his arms was gradually weighing down by hundreds of thousands of pounds!
"Boom!"
Eleventh attempt complete!
As soon as the boxing stopped, Zhang Guodong's pale face quickly regained its rosy color!
I feel refreshed!
The detoxification process continues and intensifies, demonstrating the effectiveness of this eleventh round of boxing techniques!
Zhang Guodong glanced at the sweat and toxins on his body and secretly rejoiced, thinking to himself that he was lucky he was only wearing shorts and a vest, otherwise he would have had to change clothes again.
"It's time to go out!" With a thought, Zhang Guodong returned to Taoyuan and went back inside.
Covered in filth, Zhang Guodong went to the bathroom to wash up and rinsed himself thoroughly. When he changed his clothes and came out of the house, his father, mother, Uncle Huang, and Aunt Yang actually ran in from outside. Everyone was sweating, clearly they had gone to exercise.
"Young people should exercise more in the morning!" Dad said as soon as he saw Zhang Guodong. "I haven't exercised since I left the army. This workout today makes a difference!"
Mom smiled, and Uncle Huang and Aunt Yang nodded as well.
Zhang Guodong was very surprised.
It seems Dad usually practices "stillness before action," right? But today the sun must have risen in the west! He actually started exercising first thing in the morning? However, this is a good omen. Although taking miraculous pills can help regulate one's body, exercise and training are the long-term solution! Zhang Guodong chuckled foolishly.
The amount of exercise he did practicing the mutated Five Elements Fist was equivalent to that of twenty people. However, running cannot replace it. Generally, after running, when the blood is boiling, it's the perfect time to practice the fist.
He simply doesn't have the time or the conditions don't allow it right now.
After returning to the provincial capital, Zhang Guodong planned to buy several full-body weights as soon as possible. This would enhance the training effect and further improve his physique!
“Dad, I plan to go back to the provincial capital first,” Zhang Guodong said.
Then his parents' eyes lit up. Zhang Guodong quickly added, "It's business, I have to go back, I'll probably be back in a day or two!"
"Business-related? Then hurry back!" Dad said after thinking for a moment. They actually let Zhang Guodong off the hook just like that! Surprisingly, Mom Ye Cuihua didn't object either?
"Hehe, I'll be back in a couple of days at the latest. The business here isn't over yet!" Zhang Guodong said happily.
This was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Zhang Guodong feared that things might get complicated if he delayed, so he decided to make plans early.
