Chapter 486 - 157: [The Changes in Chu Keqing]
However, the elixir will be beneficial to you personally.
It won’t increase your Primordial Qi Cultivation but will refine your body and enhance it—after taking it, diligently cultivate your Primordial Qi in the following period, and you will naturally experience the effects."
Chu Keqing took the porcelain bottle, her eyes glimmering: "Thank you, senior, I..."
"It’s not given to you for free." Chen Yan gestured: "After taking the elixir, during the upcoming period, when you cultivate and move your Primordial Qi, you need to record and inform me of the process, the different situations that arise, and any changes in your body."
Chu Keqing felt a stir in her heart: "Record everything and tell you?"
"Yes." Chen Yan’s expression was calm: "I’m not hiding from you, first of all, this drug is guaranteed not to harm you! You can rest assured of that.
But I’ve never used it myself, so to understand its specific effects, I need you to try it and tell me.
Another request is to let someone cultivate your Cloud Sect Technique, although this person won’t join your sect—let’s consider this an exchange condition for the elixir."
Chu Keqing nodded immediately: "I’ll do as you say, senior!"
Although the Cloud Sect Technique is considered precious in this world, it evidently amounts to nothing in front of this senior—and there’s also this elixir to enhance her physical qualities in exchange.
Chu Keqing naturally had no objections to such an exchange.

In the following days, Chen Yan contacted Chu Keqing by phone daily to inquire about the effects after taking the medicine.
Chu Keqing didn’t hold back either, she detailed and reported all occurrences after taking the elixir.
This woman was very honest, even confessing some awkward, less mentionable things that happened post-consumption.
After obtaining the elixir, Chu Keqing took it that very night, and throughout the night, she first had diarrhea and then began sweating profusely.
She sweated heavily all night, and Chu Keqing told Chen Yan the smell of the sweat was significantly more pungent compared to normal perspiration.
The night’s ordeal left Chu Keqing nearly dehydrated, fortunately, she had prepared some measures to replenish her body with water in time.
The day after consuming the elixir, Chu Keqing felt physically weak, as if recovering from illness, yet her spirit was robust, and her appetite tripled.
Despite consuming more than usual, her body constantly felt hungry.
After a substantial meal, she would feel hungry again in about two hours.
To describe this sensation, Chu Keqing said: It felt as if her body was rapidly burning and consuming energy, thus making her quickly hungry, needing continuous food intake to replenish energy.
Several days passed; Chu Keqing ate a lot, yet did not gain weight.
Not only did she not gain weight, she actually lost three to four pounds.
During this period, her appetite continued to grow, by the fifth day, her food intake had increased five to six times more than before.
Moreover, Chu Keqing made some changes in her food choices, opting for high-protein, high-energy, and high-nutrient foods.
These were the bodily effects manifested after taking the elixir.
Five days later, Chu Keqing felt her physical fitness improving daily; her binge eating seemed to make her body healthier; her stamina and various abilities were increasing.
Even many subtle changes appeared—her hair became darker and shinier, and her skin gradually became flawless.
After all, Chu Keqing was already thirty-three years old. Although she was naturally beautiful and took great care of herself, making her look stunning, her beauty didn’t lose to young girls.
But age undeniably was there; at this age, no matter how well maintained, some fine lines appear subtly on her face; certain spots also develop dead skin and such.
Her skin unavoidably displayed some dullness; even her flesh couldn’t escape beginning to slacken.
Many imperfections, though unnoticeable to others, were very obvious to her.
Yet, five days post-consumption, her skin’s dullness disappeared, fine lines vanished, and many areas of skin regained tightness.
Even the extra flesh in some areas vanished, as if her entire body underwent a comprehensive optimization process!
She did a test at the gym, evaluating her cardiovascular function and physical strength in various aspects.
The result was that even ten years ago, at the peak of her youth, her physical condition wasn’t this good!
Besides, five days after taking the elixir, there appeared significant changes in cultivation!
Strengthening the body expanded the capacity of this "vessel" of the cultivator’s physical form.
Every day as Chu Keqing cultivated and moved her Primordial Qi, her body could accommodate more Qi movement and purging.
Specifically speaking about the effects and progress of daily cultivation, it roughly improved by ten percent compared to previous cultivation.
Overall, all these changes made Chu Keqing ecstatic! While reporting these matters to Chen Yan, her gratitude was overwhelming, her tone more intimate and excited than before.
However, there was one inconvenience; with her body’s increased demand for food, Chu Keqing found it challenging every time she went out, because it was easy to get hungry outside.
