As the meeting with Xia Mi came to an end, Warren left the restaurant with a lot on his mind.
Xia Mi haven't plan on bring Warren to their side when they first met, and she also didn't know Warren's connection with Yun Hou, and therefore she didn't make any concrete plans to expose Yun Hou.
Warren didn't leave the restaurant empty-handed, in addition to the two Chi Expansion Pills that Xia Mi had gifted him, he was also carrying one bags of rice in each hand. Xia Mi had offered to give him some silver so his family wouldn't go hungry. However, Warren rejected the idea. He knew that if any of the Black Fur gang found out, it would just spell trouble for his family. Instead, he opted to get two bags of rice, although it was a bit eye catchy for him to be walking around in the slums with the rice, it wouldn't invite too much trouble.
When Warren finally got home, it was almost dusk, and he only had one day before he needed to set out to the Azure Sky Sect.

Little did Warren knew that the only reason that he was able to get home safety was that Joe Yee was protecting him in the shadow. There were several suspicious people following Warren on his way back, and Joe Yee gave all of them a proper thrashing.
After Joe Yee had escorted Warren home, he visited the Black Fur outpost and gave everyone there a good beating as well. He warned them that if anyone were to harm Long Family residents, they were received a far worst fate.

As Warren enter his house, he noticed that his siblings and father were not home yet. He knew that they usually would get home a little after dusk. This meant that he had some time to figure out what he could do with the pills and how to explain everything to his family.
Sitting down on his bed, the first thing he did was thought "Analyze" on the pills.

There was a lot of information that he Warren needed to absorb here.
"It looks like this pill will help me will several months of hard work, but there is a limit of 10 that I can use."
Sigh. "If I had even one of these pills before I take the entrance exam, I would have undoubtedly passed. This is why there is such a big difference before commoners like me and the children of cultivation families."
"It also looks like the Enhancement Requirement is higher than for Lesser Uncommon grade items even if the durability is only one."
After thinking everything through and calculating how much CF he had, Warren knew that an Enhancement was not possible.
Throwing the pill in his mouth, Warren could feel the hard shell of the pill instantly melted away, and the medical energy traveled to his Chi Pool, which sat right above his stomach. Several seconds later he could feel his Chi Pool started to swell and then he hear a small pop in his body. Warren sat there and meditated, roughly a minute later, he heard a second pop.
By now, Warren could feel the energy medical energy had lessened a bit. The whole process took about a quarter of an hour. Opening his eyes, Warren could feel that his Chi pool had gotten noticeably larger, but it also felt somehwat empty.
"It looks like although the pill helps me increase my Chi Pool, it didn't fill up the Chi Pool as well."
Remembering he had 8 UCF remaining from his analysis of the pill, Warren grabbed the blanket and thought "Equipment Enhancement."

Warren knew that he did not have enough CF to use his analyze skill and therefore did not even bother. Instead, he got off the bed and started cooking.
He didn't know if his siblings and father were able to get any food today, so he decided to make some porridge with the rice that he got.
Each bag of rice usually held about 10 lbs of rice, but judging from how filled the bags were the was at least 13 lbs of rice in each bag. He remembered how the restaurant manager had personally delivered the rice. And he was increbible polient when he handed the rice to Warren.
Measuring out half an lb of rice, Warren started making the porridge.
