Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1233 - 367: [Heaven’s Favor] (Part 3)

Hearing Chen Yan say this, he finally felt a sense of relief in his heart. After hesitating a moment, he said, "I actually still have some doubts in my heart..."

Chen Yan smiled, "Since it is after-sales service, Mr. Liu Sr., if you have any concerns, feel free to speak out, and I will clear them up for you."

Liu Jianshan hesitated for a moment, seemingly conflicted, but eventually made up his mind and spoke, "After coming back yesterday, I took the elixir you gave me, and then my body felt hot for an hour and cold for another hour, sweating multiple times.

Suddenly, my appetite increased greatly, and I asked someone to prepare food—but the portion size was much larger. At my age, my appetite is not like that of a younger person; usually, I only eat less than half a bowl of rice per meal.

Yet yesterday, I ate two or three bowls in one go and still didn’t feel it was enough, but I was worried and didn’t dare to eat more.

I held back for a long time, until midnight, when the hunger became too hard to resist, and I had someone bring me more food.

Well... Mr. Chen, given my current physical condition, won’t such sudden overeating become a problem?"

Chen Yan laughed, "The elixir is meant to replenish some of the lifespan you originally should have but unintentionally lost over the years of your life.

However, retrieving what was lost also requires expenditure.

Hmm, perhaps if I say one word, you’ll understand. Energy.

Food is the body’s main source of energy.

The lifespan retrieved returns to your body, and naturally, sufficient energy is needed to truly integrate it into your body.

So, in the coming days, your intake will increase significantly. However, I estimate that in about ten days, once the energy replenishment is sufficient and the lifespan stabilizes, your appetite will naturally return to normal."

Consequently, Chen Yan advised Liu Jianshan to consume more high-nutrition, high-energy foods recently—with the wealth of the Liu Family, is there any rare ingredient they can’t procure? So there’s no need to worry in this regard.

Chen Yan was in a good mood, perhaps because the attitude displayed by the Liu Family was very satisfying to him, and he reached out his hand, conjuring another bottle of elixirs in his palm.

"These are Fasting Pills. Uh... although given your situation, food supplementation is also sufficient, your body needs to replenish its lifespan, continuously consuming energy to restore your body’s primordial qi, and humans need intervals between meals; inevitably, there are moments of energy disconnect.

This bottle contains three Fasting Pills, and each one, given your current energy consumption, can allow you to go without eating for three to five days.

Furthermore, after taking the Fasting Pill, it consistently supplements the body’s required energy, without the gaps or disconnections between meals, which suits your current situation well."

Hearing the name Fasting Pill, Liu Jianshan’s eyes brightened again—he was naturally familiar with the term Fasting Pill.

Although its effect isn’t as miraculous as reviving the dead or regenerating bones from flesh, the ability to go several days without eating after consuming one pill is indeed akin to the divine techniques of immortals.

Previously, he had only seen such things in films or novels, but now, seeing the living Fasting Pill in front of him deepened Liu Jianshan’s conviction that Mr. Chen indeed had spell-like powers!

Cautiously accepting the elixirs, Liu Jianshan spoke softly, "Also, regarding my left leg..."

His leg was not very agile, which Chen Yan hadn’t noticed during their last encounter but could see clearly today.

Chen Yan smiled, "When did you develop the ailment in your left leg, Mr. Liu Sr.?"

"It’s been some years," Liu Jianshan hastily replied, "I was injured when I was young, but at the time, I was strong and healthy and could manage normal mobility. As I grew older, some age-related diseases emerged, and this left leg became increasingly problematic."

He paused, then smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that after taking Mr. Chen’s Heavenly Repair Pill, with the restored lifespan and recovery, this leg might also..."

Chen Yan shook his head, "Reclaiming lifespan is not reclaiming health. Roughly speaking, your body will revert to the state it was in before this major illness.

Then it will maintain that health level steadily until your lifespan is once again consumed, at which point your health will start to decline. So, Mr. Liu Sr., your leg isn’t an external injury. It’s a result of injuries compounded by chronic disease, making it impossible to restore."

In truth, Chen Yan hadn’t spoken fully.

If he intended to heal the injury, it wouldn’t be impossible—a single Bone Pill could bring this leg back to about 70-80% recovery.

However, when he was in the Domain Realm, he heard Cave Maiden Zhan Li explain that although Bone Pills could heal wounds, they were largely considered as "forcing" recovery by depleting the body’s primordial qi.

On an ordinary person, it would mean depleting vitality.

Liu Jianshan had used a Heavenly Repair Pill given by himself to regain eighteen months of life—if at this moment, to forcibly heal an injured leg, he depleted his vitality again, the initially retrieved eighteen months of lifespan would likely be shortened.

For Liu Jianshan, given the current crisis the Liu Family is burdened with, lifespan is probably of utmost importance.

So Chen Yan simply did not elaborate further.

As Liu Jianshan mentioned a few more of his concerns, Chen Yan was not impatient, taking the time to answer them one by one. After answering, however, the conflicted look on Liu Jianshan’s face deepened.

Finally, Chen Yan sighed, "Mr. Liu Sr., I’m afraid the true concern on your mind isn’t the few you’ve mentioned just now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianshan sighed as well, his expression a mix of three parts conflict, three parts helplessness, but also carrying a hint of anticipation as he spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, your perception is astute; there is indeed something I wish for in my heart."
