"Good, this thing is quite valuable, about three times the value of Huang Ruohong's Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus," Zhou Hong said calmly.
Jiang Bao Kui felt a pang of heartache.
"But don't worry, I'll exchange it with a cultivation technique three times better later. The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus given by Huang Ruohong was of low value, and the cultivation technique was naturally of a lower grade."
"Thank you, senior." Huang Ruo Hong felt a little more balanced.
However, Huang Ruo Hong felt a sense of loss, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Hurry and get paper and a brush, I'll write down the cultivation techniques on paper."
"Yes!"
Soon, Zhou Hong wrote down two sets of cultivation techniques on paper. He gave the more advanced one to Jiang Bao Kui and the less advanced one to Huang Ruo Hong.
"These two cultivation techniques, although they won't increase your strength, can help you cultivate faster and improve your martial arts physique. I dare say, their value is definitely more than the two items you gave me. Originally, you were compensating me, but now I'm even exchanging cultivation techniques with you. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm losing out." Zhou Hong felt a wave of frustration, but he could only try to be optimistic. After all, the cultivation techniques he gave them were trash to him. However, the items they gave him could at least be refined into a few spirit pills.
"Thank you, senior!" Huang Ruo Hong and Jiang Bao Kui immediately knelt down. Although they hadn't studied them yet, they believed Zhou Hong wouldn't deceive them.
"Ruoyan, let's go!" Zhou Hong immediately called out to Changsun Ruoyan, not wanting to stay any longer.
"Zhou Hong, what cultivation techniques did you give them? Are they very powerful?" Changsun Ruoyan asked eagerly after they left.
"Heh heh, don't worry, for me, it only slightly improves their physique."
"Improves physique?"
"Yes, the cultivation techniques I gave them are to improve their physique."
"Such good cultivation techniques, why do you make it sound so ordinary? Can you give me a copy too?" Changsun Ruoyan asked with longing.
"Don't worry, as my friend, you'll naturally get something better. When we get back, I'll teach you a set that's 100 times better."
"100 times better?" Changsun Ruoyan seemed to find it hard to imagine.
"Yes, even an ordinary person can have their physique transformed into that of a genius. To be honest, my fiancée Qiao Xiaoyu, Qin Mengxue, and my childhood friend Liu Hua are already starting to cultivate."
"Wow!" Changsun Ruoyan looked extremely eager.
Soon, Zhou Hong and Changsun Ruoyan returned to the five-star hotel.
Zhou Hong packed the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and Wushan Dragon Fruit into his suitcase, planning to refine them into spirit pills after returning to Jinzhou City.
"Zhou Hong, these two items? Are they very important to you? Did you lose money by exchanging them for two sets of cultivation techniques?" Changsun Ruoyan asked.
"From my perspective, I didn't lose money because the two sets of cultivation techniques I gave them are trash to me. From their perspective, they've hit the jackpot. The two sets of cultivation techniques I gave them can slightly improve the physique of their descendants, allowing their families to have more martial arts disciples."
"Mhm! I didn't expect them to turn misfortune into a blessing."
"Alright, tonight I'll teach you the body refinement method."
"Okay!"
Zhou Hong immediately taught Changsun Ruoyan the body refinement method.
Changsun Ruoyan learned it quickly, much faster than Qin Mengxue and Qiao Xiaoyu. However, it was normal, as Changsun Ruoyan was a martial artist. Although she wasn't a top genius among martial artists, she was naturally much stronger than Qiao Xiaoyu and Qin Mengxue.
After learning it, Changsun Ruoyan immediately began body refinement.
As for Zhou Hong, he took a shower and went to bed.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, when Zhou Hong woke up, Changsun Ruoyan said excitedly, "Zhou Hong, thank you. I've been refining my body all night, and the effect is incredible. In just one night, I can feel a slight change."
"Heh heh, you're welcome."
"Zhou Hong, I really don't know how to thank you." Changsun Ruoyan once again looked like she owed him a great favor.
"No need to thank me, it's no loss to me," Zhou Hong said indifferently. Although this body refinement method might be incredibly powerful on Earth, it was nothing to Zhou Hong.
"If you want, let me thank you again," Changsun Ruoyan said with a blush, her eyes glancing at a certain part of Zhou Hong, which was currently in a state of great arousal.
Zhou Hong realized what was happening and felt a bit awkward. It wasn't intentional; he had just woken up. Everyone knew that for men, morning erections were normal. And for a powerful man like Zhou Hong, it was even more so, often taking ten to twenty minutes to subside after waking up.
"Don't misunderstand, this is a normal phenomenon for all men, it doesn't mean anything else," Zhou Hong quickly explained.
"Is that so?" Changsun Ruoyan looked half-convinced. As a woman, she didn't know. Seeing Zhou Hong's erection, she thought he was extremely eager and wanted to repay him.
"Alright, let's get up quickly and have breakfast!" Zhou Hong stood up immediately.
Changsun Ruoyan quickly turned her head away with a blush, seemingly afraid to look at the "tent."
Although Zhou Hong was embarrassed, there was nothing he could do. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, it naturally subsided.
Indeed, after Zhou Hong brushed his teeth and washed his face, he had returned to normal. Zhou Hong then got dressed and went to the hotel's cafeteria with Changsun Ruoyan. The cafeteria was free, as it was a five-star hotel.
"Zhou Hong!" When they arrived at the cafeteria, they saw the Dean and others sitting at a table eating breakfast.
"Dean, you're having breakfast too."
"Yes, we have to go to the competition venue after eating. You two have already made it into the top ten, but the remaining participants still have to continue. This morning's competition is for rankings 50 to 100. Let's aim for at least one of the remaining participants to break into the top 100!" the Dean said with a smile.
"Oh, oh!" Zhou Hong seemed uninterested.
Other students from Jinzhou University also greeted Zhou Hong. They all looked at Zhou Hong with envy, then glanced at Changsun Ruoyan, thinking to themselves how many times Zhou Hong must have played with such a beautiful woman every night, but unfortunately, it was only in their imagination.
At this moment, Qian Jie and Tan Chao were also sitting at a nearby table eating breakfast. These past two days, they had almost always been together, perhaps because they were both eunuchs. Seeing Zhou Hong, they snorted slightly. Although they dared not say anything aloud, they were very unhappy with Zhou Hong in their hearts.
