From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 41 Young Master's Real Pretense
In fact, after drinking alcohol, the true Qi will not taste like alcohol. The reason for this effect is something Chen Qiye figured out himself in the past few days.

Through the skill [Drinking], a small amount of true Qi can be stored. After drinking the wine, quickly use the power to charge this tiny stream of true Qi to make it bigger and then use the palm force to send it out of the body.

This is how the effect of the scent of true qi appears, and only he can do it in the world.

The physical changes brought about by the [Drinking] skill involve many aspects. Not only can it absorb the nuclear radiation in the wine like a sponge, but it can also gradually strengthen his eight extraordinary meridians.

The most amazing thing is that after the levels of the main skill [Archery] and the internal skill [Xingyun Gong] are improved, the most significant change is visual perception, while [Reading] enhances thinking, extends consciousness and expands memory.

As all skill levels increase, a new feature emerges: inner vision, which allows him to sense his own meridians.

All these changes made Chen Qiye feel that his original decision to use all skills together to progress was the right one.

In this way, he could easily achieve the effect of integrating [White Crane Palm] and expelling the nuclear radiation with the smell of alcohol from the body with the palm force.

This move really frightened Fan Xian, and he was almost the same as Fan Ruoruo that day.

Chen Qiye raised his hand and smiled, "Although I don't know why Miss Ruoruo and Master Fan both like to mention this 'Bacchus Curse', I think this name is really good. If Master Fan doesn't mind, then I will name this my self-created technique after this."

"I am ashamed to say that I have never paid attention to the issue of naming the exercises in all these years."

"Although this technique created by Chen can increase palm power, it also consumes a lot of energy from the user. Therefore, he needs to drink alcohol and practice special breathing methods, using alcohol mixed with a small amount of true energy as a supplement. Otherwise, if he relies solely on his own true energy, it will cause permanent damage to his meridians if he uses it no more than ten times."

The more Fan Xian listened, the weirder his expression became. He swallowed, clasped his fists and praised, "Mr. Chen is indeed a martial arts genius. With your explanation, this technique must be the Dionysus Curse."

Not to mention Ruoruo, even Fan Xian himself wanted to become his disciple. He didn't expect that someone could actually come up with this thing.

Chen Qiye pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Why did Master Fan say that? Could it be that the story that Miss Ruoruo told Master Fan is actually true, and there really is such a skill?"

Fan Xian smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, no, don't get me wrong, it is indeed a story, just like the Dream of the Red Chamber, it was written by people."

"That's it..."

"Master Fan's literary talent is truly amazing. In fact, if Master Fan wrote this story of 'immortal chivalry and martial arts' into a book like the Dream of the Red Chamber, I believe it would also be famous throughout the world."

Fan Xian shook his head: "Forget it, there are still a lot of people waiting for me to make up for the mistakes in the Red Mansion. I don't want to be a censor again. I can't make up for the mistakes in the Red Mansion later. Now a group of people in Kyoto are secretly calling me a eunuch."

"There are still people who dare to slander Master Fan like this? Who is it? Master Fan, please give me a name. I like the Red Mansion very much. Anyone who dares to insult Master Fan is insulting the Red Mansion. Chen will be the first one to disagree."

"No, no, no, Mr. Chen, don't get me wrong. What eunuch means is that the book is halfway through and no longer needs to be written. It is commonly known as cutting it off. The same is true for chapter-breaking dog. It is intentional to leave suspense. It ends here and will be updated in the next chapter."

Chen Qiye was stunned: "Haha... Mr. Fan's choice of words is really fresh."

Ye Xiaoling at the side pouted and looked at her young master strangely. She found that the young master was very pretentious now. Yes, he was pretending. He was not like that before, but he was very pretentious today when talking to Master Fan Xian.

She grew up with the young master, and the young master had said many strange new words over the years. Although she also felt that Master Fan Xian's metaphors of eunuchs and out-of-text dogs were very novel, after seeing and hearing them, she was not that surprised.

But the young master who changed her perception was pretending to be so. The more she looked at him, the more she wanted to laugh.

Afterwards, Chen Qiye pretended to be a native and chatted with Fan Xian, his fellow villager, for a while. Seeing that everything was exactly as described by Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, Fan Xian stood up with relief and said goodbye with a fist salute.

Chen Qiye said a few polite words to persuade Master Fan to stay, then saw him off and watched him leave silently with his hands behind his back.

Just now when chatting with Fan Xian, Chen Qiye asked about Teng Zijing's situation. Since Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe both knew that Teng Zijing was acquainted with him, asking this would not lead Fan Xian to suspect other aspects.

Chen Qiye felt that the deal with Fan Xian could be done soon. He didn't know if continuing to hide Lin Gong's name would change Fan Xian's trajectory. In order to prevent the protagonist of the plane from finding out with his protagonist's halo, he had to act early.

Fan Mansion······
When Fan Xian returned home, Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe immediately ran up to him and asked about his situation.

"What do you think, Fan Xian? Is Chen Qiye a decent person? If you think he's good enough, then let me recruit him."

"Fan Sizhe, shut up."

Fan Sizhe quickly covered his mouth and muttered, "Okay sister."

Fan Ruoruo glared at her silly brother, then looked at Fan Xian.

"Brother, have you tried it? Does that person really know how to become stronger by drinking? Is the 'Bacchanal's Curse' real?"

Fan Xian looked helplessly at his sister who, due to his influence, had dreamed of traveling the world with a sword since childhood.

"Ruoruo, tell me honestly, are you interested in the 'Bacchus Curse' or in people?"

Fan Ruoruo blushed: "Brother... why are you making fun of me? You know what I'm interested in."

"Eh... I really don't know. After all, girls change a lot when they grow up. It's hard to guess what's in their mind. No matter how hard you try, you won't understand it."

"Brother, stop teasing me and tell me now."

Fan Xian sighed and said, "Ruoruo, let me tell you the truth. I went to the Chen residence and asked Master Chen if his self-created martial arts method was real. I didn't even need to test him. He demonstrated it to me on the spot with a jar of wine."

"Using wine as a supply, he launched an attack with astonishing destructive power, and it seems that he can actually absorb the true energy in the wine. This is definitely the Dionysus spell itself. I am so jealous when I see it that I want to become your disciple."

Before Fan Ruoruo could say anything, Fan Sizhe reminded her, "Fan Xian, my sister is ignorant, why are you fooling around with her? How can a member of the Fan family like me be a disciple of a small person? You don't understand this when you're so old?"

Fan Xian looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Are you still lecturing me?"

Fan Ruoruo kicked him and said, "Fan Sizhe, get out of the way."

Then he said excitedly: "Brother, so there really is such a super cool technique?"

Fan Xian looked at her strangely: "Where did you learn this phrase?"

Fan Ruoruo blinked her eyes and said, "Brother, you said it. I thought it sounded good, so I used it."

"Alright, alright, I still have to report to my father, so I won't tell you guys anymore."

Fan Ruoruo clasped her hands together, looking forward to the scene where she would transform into a female knight after learning the 'Bacchus Curse'.

At night, Fan Xian came out of Fan Jian's room and went to visit Teng Zijing as usual.

But just as he arrived near Teng Zijing's home, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Fan Xian."
