Being in disguise was Chen Fei’s idea of being prepared. After all, he would have to sell Qi Rejuvenation Pills in the dark market in the future. If he went there with his current appearance, it would be very easy for others to recognize him.

The black market was almost common knowledge among martial artists in Pingyin County. There must be people from the Zhang family among them. Chen Fei still did not want to jeopardize his relations with the Zhang family, so it was very important to hide his identity.

“Disguise Technique simplified. Simplification was successful. Face Changing → Face Washing!”

Awesome!

Seeing the simplified result, Chen Fei grinned and tested it out by washing his face. The experience points of the Disguise Technique really increased by 1. At the same time, some insights into the Disguise Technique appeared in his mind.

Chen Fei didn’t waste any time. He washed his face with clean water more than ten times in a row, and the experience points of the Disguise Technique slowly increased.

A moment later, Chen Fei stopped. The experience points gained from washing his face wasn’t slow, but Chen Fei wanted to go faster. According to his observations over the past few days, this simplified method actually had some tricks up its sleeve.

Chen Fei wet a towel and then wiped his face. The comprehension of the Disguise Technique in his mind increased, and Chen Fei could not help but smile.

In the following days, Chen Fei took a Qi Rejuvenation Pill every day to steadily push his cultivation to the peak of the Skin Toughening realm. At the same time, he continued to refine Vitality Pills to increase the experience points of the Qi Rejuvenation Pill and gradually approach the stage of Great Completion.

It could be foreseen that Chen Fei would need more and more money in the future, and the Qi Rejuvenation Pill would be his stable source of income.

In between the refining of the medicinal pill, Chen Fei did not stop cultivating his movement techniques. After integrating a fifth movement technique, the help that the new movement technique gave to Chen Fei began to slowly decrease.

The most obvious change was that after the new movement technique was integrated, the Cloud Crossing proficiency almost reached Great Completion.

However, this situation was inevitable. After all, the function of the basic movement technique was relatively simple. When circulating strength, there were only a few routes that were used.

It was already not easy for Chen Fei to rely on these few basic cultivation techniques to cultivate his movement technique to this extent. However, Chen Fei could also feel that a transformation of his movement technique was steadily approaching.

Perhaps after he had integrated with the ten newly bought body movement technique manuals, Chen Fei’s speed would reach a new level.

He didn’t neglect his alchemy and movement techniques. Naturally, Chen Fei wouldn’t forget about the newly obtained Disguise Technique.

When he was free and wasn’t refining pills or cultivating, Chen Fei would always take a towel to wipe his face from time to time.

In just a few days, the people in the clinic noticed Chen Fei’s strange behavior.

Previously, they had heard that this assistant manager liked to cook. They had never seen him do so before, but now they realized that Chen Fei seemed to be a little obsessed with cleanliness.

There was no sweat on his face, and it looked extremely clean, but Chen Fei would wipe his face from time to time. They felt that Chen Fei was going to wipe his face clean off.

Chen Fei didn’t care about these people’s gazes. He loved cleanliness, so there was nothing wrong with it. As he watched the experience points of the various cultivation techniques continue to increase, his mind was filled with various inspirations.

Chen Fei was intoxicated by the feeling of being successful and knowledgeable.

“Something big has happened.” Early in the morning, Liu Jun came to Chen Fei and said mysteriously.

Chen Fei nodded, indicating for Liu Jun to continue.

“Remember that a few big families were killed in the county a few nights ago? Last night, the county government constables and bailiffs were dispatched to capture a person.”

Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. No wonder he heard a commotion outside last night. Turns out all the hoopla was caused by this. Chen Fei could not help but think of the portrait he had thrown into the county government.

“Did they catch him?”

“They didn’t catch him. I heard that the criminal didn’t react in time at first, but when the constables got close, the criminal managed to beat up everyone close by quickly and ran away.”

Liu Jun shook his head in pity. After all, anyone would be afraid of such a ruthless bandit who had killed an entire family. They all hoped to catch him.

Chen Fei nodded slightly, understanding that the county government had underestimated Jian Liang’s strength, which was why he had managed to escape. However, from another perspective, it could also be said that this reflected Jian Liang’s formidable strength. It was not something that ordinary martial artists could compare to.

He just didn’t know if the bandits would restrain themselves or retaliate even more crazily.

“I heard that someone provided information to the station but didn’t collect any reward. It’s so much money! Such a waste,” Liu Jun muttered to himself as he walked away. His eyes were filled with the desire for money.

Ten days passed quickly, and the experience points of the Qi Rejuvenation Pill finally reached Great Completion. Not only did the number of pills produced after each batch increase, but they were also plump and round.

This was already a high-grade Qi Rejuvenation Pill. In the entire Qingzheng Medical Hall, there were very few pill refiners who could refine Qi Rejuvenation Pills of this level.

Each Qi Rejuvenation Pill was sold for ten taels of silver. The cost of the medicinal ingredients was relatively low, so compared to the selling price, it was negligible.

In ten days, Chen Fei had also cultivated the Disguise Technique to perfection. His face could already change at will, and even his body shape could be adjusted slightly.

Thus, Chen Fei had already fulfilled the conditions he had set for himself to sell Qi Rejuvenation Pills in the black market. The only thing that needed to be addressed was the problem of the source of the herbs.

It was impossible for the various medical centers and medicine shops to sell medicinal herbs to Chen Fei in large quantities. After all, they had their own alchemists. There was no need to sell medicinal herbs like this. Therefore, Chen Fei needed to find another route.

At the same time, Chen Fei’s cultivation would probably complete a breakthrough in the next few days. At that time, Chen Fei would be a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm. Compared to the low level of the Skin Toughening realm, the Body Toughening realm at least gave Chen Fei some self-protection abilities.

At the black market.

“I need a batch of medicinal herbs. Can you provide them?”

In front of the bookstall, he was wearing a mask and a bamboo hat. At the same time, his face had changed. In particular, the corners of his eyes were deliberately elongated, and his figure was a little taller. The impression he gave others was that he was cold and unapproachable.

“With money, everything is possible.”

Chi Defeng looked at Chen Fei and felt a sense of familiarity. However, there were many people coming and going in the black market, so it was normal for them to be familiar with each other.

“I want ten portions of these herbs!”

Chen Fei handed over the list that he had written. Chi Defeng took it and looked at it a few times before saying, “These can be easily obtained. I’ll sell it to you at twice the market price and deliver the goods in six days. How about that? ”

Chen Fei wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He took the list from Chi Defeng’s hands and turned to leave.

He came to Chi Defeng to buy medicinal herbs mainly because he was familiar with him. It wasn’t like he needed to find the herbs, he could still gather enough medicinal herbs from other places.

“Sigh, don’t go. The price can be negotiated!”

Chi Defeng hurriedly urged him to stay. What was wrong with people these days? They didn’t even want to negotiate the price. They were really not like before. It wasn’t so difficult to do business in the past.

“1.5 times the market price. The difference should be more than enough as payment to you.” Chen Fei turned around and said.

“It’s chaotic outside now, and it’s not easy to find medicinal herbs.” Chi Defeng shook his head.

“There are so many refugees. If you are willing to give them money, they will naturally help you find medicinal herbs.”

Not only did the number of refugees outside Pingyin County not decrease, but it actually increased. A few more counties had been destroyed, and the surroundings had become more and more chaotic.

Rumor had it that an army had already gone to suppress them, but no one knew what the final outcome would be.
