Chapter 487 - 157: [The Changes in Chu Keqing]
Now she goes out, she always has her assistant carry a large thermos cup. It’s not filled with water, but with a concoction designed by a nutritionist, a mush made by blending high-calorie foods.
Feeling hungry, she takes a sip.
But the body’s need for such food started to diminish from the tenth day.
Following that, the strengthening of her physique slowed down and then stagnated.
After the tenth day, Chu Keqing’s body stopped strengthening, and her appetite began to decrease, finally settling around twice the normal appetite of an ordinary woman by the fifteenth day.
Chen Yan estimated that this elixir’s potency in enhancing the body lasts for about fifteen days.
Generally speaking, Chu Keqing’s physical form was strengthened, appearing rejuvenated, as if regaining a youthful vigor, and her overall physical condition improved.
The effectiveness of her cultivation increased by ten percent.
Chen Yan also asked Ouyang, and Ouyang told Chen Yan that the Bone Forging Pill is most effective the first time it is taken.
But if continued to be taken, starting from the second pill, the effects will gradually decrease.
After all, the physical potential of a person has its limits.
The elixir is ultimately an external force, although it is used to supplement and enhance the effects of essence nourishing, it is still not as effective as true essence nourishing.
According to Ouyang’s experience, if someone keeps consuming these Bone Forging Pills until they reach a point of saturation—meaning until the pills no longer have an effect, they can achieve about half the efficacy of a cultivator’s own realm, essence nourishing.
Another change is Chu Keqing’s mindset.
After her physical condition improved in all aspects, she suddenly seemed to be full of youthful energy—recently, she has become quite obsessed with the gym because she told Chen Yan that after taking the elixir, she discovered that working out every day helped her body to absorb the medicinal power better.
And after going to the gym continuously for fifteen days, she actually developed a habit of it. Plus, after regaining her youthful vigor—well, all women love to look beautiful.
Recently, Chu Keqing has become infatuated with doing squats in the gym.
Hearing this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
This alluring, mature woman, what kind of peach-like curves is she trying to achieve?
Whoa... wouldn’t that make her even more like Team Leader Jin?

"Are you Boss Fang?"
Boss Fang welcomed a stranger into his office.
Though he had never met the person before, Boss Fang was enthusiastic and prepared, having stocked good tea and cigarettes, and even had Assistant Yan make an early reservation for a private room for a dinner banquet at a large restaurant.
It’s not that Boss Fang was overreaching, but the visitor was very influential.
With Boss Fang’s assets, he was seen as a very wealthy person from the perspective of ordinary people.
Yet in the eyes of true top-tier billionaires, he was still quite a distance away.
The guest today was someone whom a businessman at Boss Fang’s level would find hard to approach.
The circle the other party operated in was one that Boss Fang had no chance of entering—at best, he could only attach himself to it as an external contractor and still make enough to be satisfied.
"You are... President Liu, right?" Boss Fang eagerly walked over to shake hands with the middle-aged man, carefully sizing him up—what intrigued him even more was, given the scale of the man’s company, why would they proactively contact him to arrange a meeting for potential collaboration?
"Oh no, I’m not any president, I’m an assistant beside Chairman He, you may just call me Assistant Liu."
