Chapter 172 Expensive Pills (asking for monthly tickets)
The competition was over. Jiang Xuan was in so much pain that he no longer wanted to continue watching the competition.

Walking down the training ground and into the passage made clear by the audience, Jiang Xuan did not react much to the praise and comments from the surrounding audience.

He began to recall everything that happened yesterday, what happened after he returned to the inn yesterday, and everything before the competition started today.

However, he still couldn't find the cause of the pain.

"The pain is so severe, why did that senior say it's nothing serious?" Jiang Xuan couldn't find the answer for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Could it be that hemostatic pill?" Jiang Xuan remembered the hemostatic pill he took after the battle with Chi Yunfeng yesterday.

"No, the pain was much relieved after I took that pill. The effect is completely different from the pain I feel today."

"It can't be that recovery pill, right? No, I've taken that recovery pill before and it worked well. I didn't feel such intense pain."

Jiang Xuan tried desperately to think and find the reason for the pain he felt today, but the more he tried, the harder it became for him to find. Even recalling became difficult.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go back to the inn first." While Jiang Xuan was thinking, he had already walked down the Micui Peak and walked towards the inn.

"Squeak..."

I returned to the inn and pushed the door open, and the familiar voice rang out again.

Entered the room and closed the door.

Jiang Xuan discovered that, just as he had guessed, Old Sha was in the inn and still had not gone to the martial arts arena to watch the fight.

"Does it hurt a lot?" asked Old Sha, but his tone was very calm, as if Jiang Xuan's pain at this moment was very normal.

"You know?" Jiang Xuan was surprised and happy when he heard Mr. Sha ask this.

What was surprising was that Mr. Sha clearly did not go to the martial arts arena to watch the fight. How did he know about Jiang Xuan's pain?
The good news is that based on Jiang Xuan's understanding of Mr. Sha, since he asked this question, he must know the reason and is very likely to know a way to relieve the pain.

Mr. Sha sat up from the bed, walked to the table, and sat down in front of his teacup again.

He picked up the teapot and calmly poured a cup of tea.

"Of course I know." Old Sha picked up the teacup and said calmly.

Seeing Mr. Sha's reaction, Jiang Xuan began to doubt his understanding of the pain.

"Do you really know?" Jiang Xuan was really skeptical about this and asked again.

"The pain is excruciating." There was still no urgency in Mr. Sha's tone.

Mr. Sha's words made Jiang Xuan even more confused, so he simply sat down at the table and leaned his head forward slightly.

"Do you know any relief methods?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. There is no way to relieve it, and there is no need to relieve it." Old Sha took another sip of the tea in his hand and said slowly.

What Old Sha said was so similar to what the old cultivator said today. One was a peak warrior and the other was even a cultivator. After both of them said so, Jiang Xuan was finally completely relieved.

However, even so, the pain was still unbearable, so he asked again: "Old Sha, please tell me a way, this pain is really unbearable."

"Haha, I just said that there is no way to relieve it, and there is no need to relieve it." Old Sha chuckled.

Do all powerful people talk like this? Jiang Xuan silently complained while enduring the pain.

Jiang Xuan had a feeling that the more anxious he became, the less anxious Old Sha became. "Remember that brown porcelain bottle from yesterday?" Old Sha asked.

"Is it possible?" Old Sha's words made Jiang Xuan suddenly realize something.

Yesterday, at the request of Old Sha, Jiang Xuan took two pills, one large and one small, from the porcelain bottle. The larger pill was obviously the recovery pill he had taken before, while the smaller pill did taste a bit strange.

Mr. Sha just told him to eat it, and Jiang Xuan didn't ask any more questions, so he ate it.

Judging from the situation after taking those two pills yesterday, the effect was indeed very good. Not only did my external injuries recover, but I also felt that my muscles and bones were much more relaxed.

Just this morning when he went out, Jiang Xuan felt refreshed, and was obviously in better condition than before he was injured that day.

"One of them is an ordinary recovery pill. Of course, due to the superb skills of the out-of-state pharmacist, the effect is indeed excellent."

"The other one is the cause of your pain this time."

As he drank tea and spoke, Mr. Sha was not in a hurry at all.

"It's a marrow-burning pill." Old Sha said in a deep voice.

"Burning Marrow Pill? What kind of pill is that?" Jiang Xuan was unfamiliar with the name of this pill.

Because of his sister Jiang Xian, Jiang Xuan knew a lot of elixirs, and he knew more than a dozen kinds of recovery elixirs alone. However, he had never heard of the "Burning Marrow Pill" that Old Sha mentioned at this moment.

"You can think of it as a pill with greater effect than the tendon-strengthening powder," said Mr. Sha.

"It's more effective than the Strengthening Muscle Powder? What kind of elixir is that?"

"It can be considered one of the most expensive elixirs at the warrior stage."

"Since it's more effective than the Strengthening Muscle Powder, why didn't you just let me take the Burning Marrow Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Sha burst into laughter.

"You're considered clever, yet you have such foolish ideas. You've taken the Strengthening Muscle Powder, and now you've reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Stage. Yet, the reaction to taking this Burning Marrow Pill is so intense. If you had taken the Burning Marrow Pill first, you can imagine the consequences."

Jiang Xuan laughed when he heard this, but the pain in his body became stronger with his laughter.

"You suffered some injuries in your fight with the kid from the Jinzhou Martial Arts School yesterday. Although you took a hemostatic pill, it stopped the bleeding, but the injuries to your bones and muscles are not easy to heal. If you don't take measures, it will definitely affect today's competition."

"Yesterday, you fought that kid from the Jinzhou Martial Arts School to a draw. Although you weren't eliminated, you can't have another draw. So, in today's match, you can only win."

"If I had another dose of the Strengthening Powder, it would have saved me a lot of trouble, but unfortunately, there's only one dose, and once it's used, it's gone. I don't have any other options."

Old Sha seemed to have opened up and told Jiang Xuan his idea of ​​having him take the Burning Marrow Pill.

Seeing what Old Sha said, Jiang Xuan naturally understood, and he did feel a little warmth in Old Sha's heart.

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Xuan's words made Old Sha a little at a loss. He smiled awkwardly and waved at Jiang Xuan.

"Within a few days of taking this Burning Marrow Pill, every battle will allow it to work better, maximizing its effectiveness. If you took it to heal injuries, then as the injuries heal and as you fight, it will increase your physical strength."

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to ask how long the pain caused by the Burning Marrow Pill would last, but after hearing what Old Sha said, he seemed to have figured it out.
