I can identify everything, but the level is increased by one

"Appraisal?"

"Dragon-Tiger Elixir?"

A wave of doubt washed over Su Han. Information flooded his mind, clarifying his understanding. This was his divine ability, awakened in this moment, capable of appraising all things and even upgrading the appraisal results!

So, the question marks he had seen before were not illusions.

Now, he had upgraded the failed and poisonous Tiger Bone Pill into the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, capable of cleansing qi and blood, and strengthening the body.

His heart shook violently, but his face remained calm.

He took the pill from Apothecary Li, feigning disgust and discomfort. Pinching his nose, he swallowed it in one gulp, and it melted in his stomach, forming a warm current that spread throughout his body.

Although it was freezing, Su Han felt as if he were soaking in a hot bath, warm and comfortable. The weakness in his body was gradually being eliminated, and the medicinal power was subtly improving his physique!

After a moment, Apothecary Li asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"...I feel a little warm all over, somewhat comfortable, but for some reason, my stomach hurts a bit. It's uncomfortable, but I can handle it."

Su Han rubbed his stomach, showing a constipated expression.

He didn't know what effect Apothecary Li wanted, but he knew some pharmacology. Tiger bone was warm and slightly hot. Coupled with the keyword 'poisonous,' he could fabricate a broad range of feelings.

"Just a little pain?"

Apothecary Li was a little surprised.

Su Han's heart sank. A little pain wasn't enough? Did it have to hurt more? Just how much poison did that pill contain? Would taking one really cause sudden death?

Using human lives to test medicine?

He was appalled. This man's heart was truly black.

Being a pharmacy boy was not something anyone could do. If he hadn't awakened his divine ability and upgraded the pill once, he would probably have become a corpse in this snowy wasteland, frozen meat for those hungry ghosts.

Su Han was about to speak again, exaggerating his feelings, when he saw Apothecary Li smile, his face wrinkles blooming like chrysanthemums. He nodded slightly, quite satisfied, and said, "Good, good. It seems you have a good physique. You're good material for a pharmacy boy."

"Warden Wang, I'll trouble you to send him over to me later."

He looked at the scarred-face strongman, who nodded and looked at Su Han, shouting, "Boy, aren't you going to thank Apothecary Li? If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even be able to enter the Li Mansion with that physique!"

"Yes, thank you, Apothecary Li, thank you, Warden Wang."

Su Han "woke up as if from a dream" and was immediately overjoyed. He bowed and thanked them repeatedly, looking grateful. Warden Wang's brow relaxed. This boy was not bad, knew how to behave, and even knew to thank him.

He pointed to the riders on the left, "Go ahead, go to the left to collect your clothes and sign the indenture. It wouldn't be good if that weak body got sick from the cold."

Signing the indenture meant becoming the property of the Li Mansion.

If they were damaged by the cold and needed medical treatment, it would be a continuous loss of property. That wouldn't do. It would be better to just freeze to death.

Su Han walked over and signed the indenture.

This indenture was truly dark. Ordinary people who sold themselves could get a few taels of silver, but for starving people like them, being able to successfully sell themselves and save their lives was already fortunate. Where would they get any money, food, or salary?

He received complete clothing and put it on.

Although it was still not enough, it was enough to block most of the cold wind. If Old Man Zhang had had such a piece of clothing last night, he wouldn't have frozen to death. Whether a person could live or not often depended on just that little bit.

Including Su Han, the few people who had successfully sold themselves stayed in place, wearing complete and comfortable clothes, huddled around the fire to warm themselves, attracting the envious eyes of the starving people around them, who wished they could replace them.

Although he had to lie low for now, it was for the sake of taking off in the future. Now that he had awakened his divine ability, capable of appraising all things and upgrading them, he already had the capital to take off.

All he needed now was a relatively stable environment.

For this, what did it matter if he sold himself into slavery?

When he had money in the future, he could redeem himself at any time. When he had strength, the indenture was just a flimsy piece of paper. Even the Li Mansion of the master would personally offer him the indenture!

Now it seemed that Apothecary Li's purpose in recruiting pharmacy boys was impure.

It was for testing medicine!

Calling them pharmacy boys was actually calling them medicine slaves. If it were ordinary people, they would probably test and test, and one day they would die and never wake up, but he had the divine ability to appraise all things and upgrade them, which was exactly what he wanted.

The poisonous pills that others avoided like snakes and scorpions, after being upgraded by him, would become precious medicines that could strengthen the body and improve the foundation, perfectly milking Apothecary Li and accelerating his own growth!

If he could also get a martial arts technique on this basis...

Even if it was the most basic, the most dilapidated, the most common kung fu, he could appraise and upgrade it into a secret true art, using it as a cornerstone to pave his own path upward!

A failed and poisonous Tiger Bone Pill could evolve into a Dragon-Tiger Elixir. Now, the medicinal power had not yet been fully released and was still continuously improving his body, showing how strong the effect was.

Then, what about upgrading those real divine medicines and immortal scriptures?

How extraordinary would that be? Unimaginable!

Unfortunately, the number of upgrades could only be used once a day. Although the upper limit could be increased, how could it be increased? Could it be related to one's own strength? Or was there some special channel?

With nothing to do, and the starving people next to him all silent and taciturn, not knowing how long they would stay, Su Han was warming himself by the fire, tinkering with his divine ability in his mind, when he suddenly had a whim. Since he could appraise all things, could he appraise himself?

As soon as the thought fell, a few lines of information appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Su Han]

[Realm: Mortal]

[Divine Ability: Appraisal of All Things]

[State: The body is continuously improved by the medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, restoring the depleted origin. Continuous use will grant the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body, possessing the power of the dragon and tiger. Current progress: 1%]

Appraising himself even produced a panel.

Su Han's eyes lit up. This was a pleasant surprise. It could even display the progress of the Dragon-Tiger Martial Body. Not bad, very good. Judging from this, he could obtain a special physique after eating a hundred pills?

A hundred pills seemed like a lot, but if converted into days, it would only be a hundred days. In less than a year, he could possess a legendary special physique and even possess the power of the dragon and tiger. It was a complete bargain.

In the future, when the number of refreshes increased, it might not even take a hundred days.

"Are you also a pharmacy boy favored by Apothecary Li?"

A voice sounded in his ear. Su Han turned his head and saw a newcomer with short hair, a bit simple and honest, and a physique that was thin but a little stronger than his.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Tie. What's your name?"

"My name is Su Han. Were you also favored by Apothecary Li? What was the result of your medicine test just now?" Su Han asked curiously.

"My stomach hurt a lot. My intestines felt like they were being twisted together, but this is my only chance. To avoid embarrassment, I could only endure it like you, keeping my expression still, and as a result, I was selected."

Zhang Tie scratched his head and answered honestly.

Su Han was immediately in awe.

He was cheating, but you were really enduring.

The two hit it off and chatted. Su Han was surprised to find that Zhang Tie's experience was very similar to his predecessor's. Both of them had been separated from their families during the Northland Cold Wave escape and eventually ended up outside Peace City.

But on second thought...

How many of the refugees who could escape here were not like this?

Under the disaster, people's fates were surprisingly similar.

Su Han looked up at the sky, gloomy and dark, and was lost in thought.

Could the path of the martial artist resist the disaster?

After a moment, he heard Warden Wang's loud shout:

"Alright, you guys pack up and prepare to enter the city!"
