The item I identified is very strange.

Chapter 4 From the moment your body trembled

Xia Fan returned to the store.

He first opened a shop, hung up the sign for "Bao Shuang Underwear," then turned on the TV and moved the rocking chair to the door.

After doing all that, he went back inside the shop and took out the pair of round-toed black leather shoes.

At first glance, they seemed quite big when worn, but upon closer inspection, they are actually very small, and the workmanship is exquisite.

The laces on the shoes are adorned with pretty black bows.

[Identification: Top-grade Blood Qi Jar, containing a large amount of blood qi]

Xia Fan could still see the subtitles before his eyes. He took a deep breath; his lifespan was about to come to an end.

Lately, he's almost come to terms with things.

But now, the opportunity is right in front of him. If this is really a top-grade blood essence jar, it might actually give him a chance to practice martial arts.

The only chance to extend one's lifespan is to become a martial artist!

Xia Fan took a deep breath, pulled the curtain closed, sat down next to the mirror, and picked up the shoes...

The greatest use of the Blood Qi Jar is to enhance one's talent before becoming a martial artist, or when one has just become a martial artist, and even to bring about a qualitative change in the body.

Low-grade blood energy canisters, for example, are not available on the market; they are all firmly controlled by the authorities and can only be obtained through application.

As for top-grade blood essence jars, they are extremely rare.

Gene serums can alter genes related to martial arts, such as bones and physical strength, but blood energy jars change the essence of the body.

Just like what martial artists cultivate, it's about blood and energy.

Xia Fan held the black leather shoes, initially thinking of using them directly, but it seemed disrespectful.

After thinking for a moment, he put the shoes on the table, lit a few incense sticks, gestured towards the shoes, and then stuck the incense sticks into the small cauldron at the back of the shoes.

Finally, pick up the shoes.

A few seconds later...

Xia Fan rolled his eyes, trembling all over. It felt as if long worms were wriggling in his veins, and his blood vessels and tendons were all swollen.

Even his muscles bulged out. Although he had white hair, his body didn't look like Old Deng at all; instead, it looked like a muscular man who regularly worked out.

"I've inhaled too much... This blood energy is too strong..."

Cold sweat beaded on Xia Fan's forehead, his fingers gripped the table tightly, and a tearing pain shot through his body. All the veins in his body bulged, and blood gushed out like worms.

Just as he was in so much pain that he was about to faint, his body gradually returned to normal, his blood vessels shrank, and his figure returned to normal.

"This is truly a top-grade blood essence jar, it's incredibly potent. I only inhaled a few breaths of its blood essence just now, and it almost killed me..."

Xia Fan was panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat.

"Suck some more..."

As time went by, that tearing pain kept repeating itself until about half an hour had passed.

Xia Fan slowly got up and stretched his body, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Unlike before, when he would strain his back if he moved around too much, he felt incredibly comfortable and his blood and energy were very strong.

He tried swinging his fist, a look of surprise in his eyes: "It really works!"

What's missing now is a visualization diagram that allows one to formally embark on the path of martial arts. This shouldn't be too hard to find.

……

As evening fell, the old street was illuminated by the setting sun, and the cries of vendors still echoed through the air.

Xia Fan lay on the rocking chair, fanning himself. This old street was a good place to find bargains, but also a good place to rip people off.

Where can I find the basic visualization diagram that is currently missing?

I don't know if there are any around here in the old street.

"Hey, old man Xia, still selling these shameless clothes?" Aunt Chen's teasing voice came right on time.

Xia Fan turned around and saw that Aunt Chen was wearing a floral dress, with freckles on her face. Her appearance and figure were very ordinary.

It doesn't look like it at all.

Xia Fan even suspected that Chen Xiaoxue was adopted.

Aunt Chen looked surprised: "Oh my, Old Man Xia, you look so refreshed and radiant today!"

She suddenly realized that Xia Fan had changed; he seemed to have lost some of his old-fashioned and somber demeanor.

Xia Fan smiled. "Isn't this what I do every day?"

"Nonsense, you're dressed like this today. Tell the truth, did you have your eye on some girl and dressed up on purpose?" Aunt Chen asked with a smile as she stood beside her, carrying groceries.

"No, there really isn't..."

"Still pretending? I can tell right away. It's that vixen who's got you all bewitched. Sigh... But you're getting old and useless now. I doubt you can attract any young girls anymore." Aunt Chen sighed, adding a few sarcastic remarks.

"So what if I'm old? Maybe some young and pretty girl will fall for my type?" Xia Fan said with a dark face.

"Oh ho, you're still arguing with me? You're lucky you found an old woman. A young girl? In Xiaoxue's words, that's just wishful thinking."

Xia Fan was speechless. Every time he passed by, Aunt Chen would come up to him and show off her superiority.

The real source of his sense of superiority was probably Chen Xiaoxue.

"Hey, speaking of which, Old Man Xia, are those shoes a new style? They look kind of familiar."

Suddenly, Aunt Chen noticed a small black round-toed leather shoe on the counter and asked in confusion.

Xia Fan smiled and said, "I guess a lot of people wear it. Speaking of which, your Xiaoxue..."

"Oh dear, how did you know my Xiaoxue was selected as an outstanding student at school? Maybe she can apply for a low-level blood energy jar. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going home to cook."

Xia Fan's face darkened. "If I were younger, I'd be a nobody, and I'd ruin your daughter."

If I had more power, I would strip your daughter naked and hang her at your doorstep, then whip her hard with a small rattan cane, and see if she still dares to call me Old Deng.

But speaking of which, does Chen Xiaoxue have any basic visualization diagrams...?

Just then, Xia Fan suddenly saw the news being broadcast on the television screen.

"In today's segment, the Ning family organized a large group of martial artists to explore a new area. Before their departure, Ning Long personally escorted his son, Ning Chuan, to school, attracting a crowd of onlookers..."

Ningchuan?

Why does that sound familiar?

Suddenly, Xia Fan remembered that this was Chen Xiaoxue's suitor.

Xia Fan slapped his thigh, immediately filled with regret.

Ordering too little! That's a huge loss!

If I had known about this relationship, I should have taken both of Chen Xiaoxue's shoes...

Pooh.

Ask for more things related to martial arts training, even if it's just for more money.

As the night deepened and the surrounding shops gradually closed, Xia Fan casually picked up the blood energy jar and carefully examined it as if appreciating incense.

A surge of vital energy flowed into his body.

Strange... Even now, the blood energy in my body is not saturated yet. Could it be that there is no limit to the absorption of blood energy?

With these questions in mind, Xia Fan got up, closed the shop, packed his things, and prepared to go home.

He casually picked up the blood energy canister and took a deep breath.

Immediately, his body trembled, and he almost rolled his eyes back again.

He had inhaled too much, and even though he felt full of blood and energy, he was still an old man whose lifespan was about to run out.

To completely change this, it takes more than just blood and energy; one must also embark on the path of a martial artist and continuously improve one's strength!

Xia Fan pulled up the roller shutter door and turned around, only to suddenly notice a figure standing under the flickering streetlights across the street.

He gradually realized that the person standing under the streetlight was a beautiful, unfamiliar girl.

The other person was dressed in a blue and white gown, and beneath the gorgeous clothes were straight legs wrapped in semi-transparent black stockings.

She stood upright under the streetlight, wearing wooden clogs, her gaze cool and aloof as she looked at Xia Fan.

Especially her face, it's so perfect you can't find a character like her in a script.

She's definitely on par with Chen Xiaoxue!

Who is she?

When did it appear?

Xia Fan's heart tightened. He thought that his actions just now might have been seen, and he felt that he was losing face.

Don't panic, maybe you didn't see it?

A pretty young girl of that age is unlikely to pay attention to an old man like him.

"I'm closing now. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy underwear. By the way, when did you arrive?"

Upon hearing this, the other person replied indifferently, "From the moment your body started trembling."

Xia Fan: "..."
