Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Expired Elixir_1

Xu Fan and Zhao Dong left Zangyu Tower and hadn’t driven far before Xu Fan got out of the car again.

Yulou Ancient Town had many street-side stalls, which displayed a variety of antiques and calligraphy hard to distinguish between real and fake.

Since there was still time, Xu Fan called Su Jingfeng of the War Wolf Squad to reassure them to practice the martial arts he had taught them. Then he started to stroll through the stalls with Zhao Dong.

While browsing, Xu Fan casually took out the jade pendant he “bought” from Zangyu Tower and studied it carefully.

Although this jade pendant was badly damaged and would be of little use in anyone else’s hands, Xu Fan had used his Spiritual Energy to do a bit of repair, restoring about sixty percent of the pendant’s original functionality.

The Spiritual Energy within the jade pendant was long depleted due to the damage, but under the nourishment of Xu Fan’s Spiritual Energy, it had regained its main functions.

This jade pendant was a defensive Spiritual Treasure that could activate a protective shield. Even at its current state of roughly sixty percent integrity, it could withstand a full-force strike from a Qi Drawing Realm expert when its defensive array was activated.

No wonder this jade pendant was neither round nor spherical; it turned out to be a protective Magical Treasure. It was a pity that the Guardian Spirit inside had not been summoned yet. If the Guardian Spirit could be summoned, then this jade pendant would truly recover to a Spiritual Treasure. At that time, it wouldn’t require the owner’s control. Should the Guardian Spirit feel danger, it would automatically activate the pendant’s defense shield to protect its owner from all harm and attacks.

After pondering, Xu Fan considered that even if this jade pendant was fully repaired, it could at best shield against attacks from Qi Drawing Realm experts. Since taking the Pei Yuan Pill, Xu Fan’s own defensive strength had increased significantly. Below the level of Grandmaster, others couldn’t harm him, rendering this jade pendant rather useless to him.

If it were an offensive Magical Treasure, at the very least, it could add another attack method for Xu Fan, but a defensive one like this was indeed of little use to him.

Xu Fan thought that if he could obtain a superior Jade Stone at the auction that night, he could craft a better protective Magical Treasure for Tongtong. Then he’d grudgingly give this jade pendant to Xu Yixue.

Though she didn’t get along well with Xu Fan, she was, after all, Tongtong’s birth mother.

Lucky for Zhao Dong, he had grown up here and knew of this hidden spot, which would have been difficult for most others to find.

Xu Fan took out the Strengthening Pill from his pocket, deciding to let Zhao Dong eat it bit by bit instead of in one gulp like the War Wolf Squad, which would have extended the time needed for expulsion.

“Scrape off a piece the size of a grain of rice from this pill and swallow it,” Xu Fan instructed as he handed the pill to Zhao Dong.

“The size of a rice grain? Large or small rice?” Zhao Dong curiously asked.

“Either is fine, it depends on whether your body can handle it. You need to finish this pill within a month; just scrape off one-thirtieth of it,” Xu Fan replied indifferently.

“One-thirtieth?” Zhao Dong thought it over, having no such precision in control. Disregarding the size, he used his fingernail to scrape off a piece from the round pill and put it in his mouth.

“Now turn around immediately and don’t face this way again without my order,” Xu Fan suddenly commanded Zhao Dong in a stern voice.

“Yes!” Even though Zhao Dong didn’t understand the purpose of the command, he dutifully turned around.

Soon he found out why.

One fart after another sounded off, accompanied by a gunpowder-like stench, drilling straight into Zhao Dong’s nostrils.

Xu Fan, having learned from past experiences, had smartly distanced himself hundreds of meters away even before Zhao Dong turned around.

Zhao Dong covered his nose, unable to control the continuous booming sounds from behind him like firecrackers exploding.

“Did the boss give me an expired pill?” Despair crossed Zhao Dong’s mind as he wondered gloomily.
