CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! ƒreewebɳovel.com
The medicinal effects of the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng nourished every inch of his body.
A series of crisp cracks echoed from his bones and tendons.
Vast medicinal energy surged within him.
It was like a great furnace, erupting with an endless stream of energy.
"This medicinal power is truly astonishing!"
Fang Xing immediately rose and stepped out of the kitchen.
The power of the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng was even more immense than that of a third of the Spirit Ginseng he had taken before.
’I can’t let it go to waste.’
Feeling the immense medicinal power raging through his body, Fang Xing began to practice his techniques at once.
The First Demon Suppression Technique, Sky-Breaking Technique!
His fists were like lightning, his Power piercing the air!
In the courtyard, the leaves of the large locust tree trembled, pulled by his Power.
As he practiced, his body began to absorb the medicinal energy.
Using the Inner Cultivation Breathing Method from the Demon Suppression Skill, he maintained a special respiratory frequency.
His qi and blood absorbed the medicinal energy and grew stronger, and the Power within him increased bit by bit.
After completing the Nine Demon Suppression Fist Forms, Fang Xing was drenched in sweat.
His skin was flushed red.
It seemed as if even his blood vessels were clearly visible.
Wisps of white steam rose from the top of his head.
As the power of the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng was integrated, his bones and tendons grew stronger.
"Haaa..."
Sitting at the table, Fang Xing took a sip of water before continuing with his Wind God Step practice.
Chasing Shadows!
His body was like a meteor, as swift as the wind!
Afterimages flickered across the courtyard.
Invisible Power coiled around his entire body.
The Wind God Step emphasized Body Technique and leg attacks.
WHIP—!
He unleashed a sweeping whip kick, sending dozens of leg afterimages rushing out. The air vibrated, causing the leaves of the large locust tree to rustle loudly.
Leaves fluttered down, but before they could hit the ground, they were torn to shreds by his Power, turning into fine dust.
He practiced the two Martial Arts over and over, and the medicinal effects of the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng were gradually absorbed.
Fang Xing didn’t stop until the moon was high in the sky.
He rinsed his body with cold well water, revealing well-defined muscles under the moonlight.
Compared to when he first started, several months of training with ample energy supplements had not only led to breakthroughs in his Cultivation, but had also made his physique taller and stronger.
His figure was now tall and well-proportioned.
Every inch of his muscle contained astonishing strength.
After drying himself off, Fang Xing went inside.
Lying in bed, Fang Xing sensed the changes within his body.
The Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng’s medicinal effects were potent. Although he had only consumed a small amount, the improvement was significant.
Compared to the power of the Spirit Ginseng, the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng was undoubtedly on a higher level.
Although it wasn’t as old, the Dragon Blood Treasure Ginseng had a stronger foundation. After being enhanced, its effects could surpass the Spirit Ginseng.
’Indeed, the effects of a Treasure Medicine are powerful. But if I keep cultivating like this, I’m afraid my Enhancement Points won’t last much longer.’
Fang Xing sighed inwardly.
With a thought, he summoned the crimson panel to check his status.
Name: Fang Xing
Cultivation: Dark Force
Enhancement Level: One-Star (49%)
Enhancement Points: 104
’One hundred and four. That’s enough to enhance a Wild Ginseng one more time. I’ll just have to accumulate them slowly.’
After glancing at the panel’s information, Fang Xing closed his eyes.
’Cultivation can’t be rushed!’
With powerful resources backing him, his current progress was already astonishing.
’Once I reach the Peak of Dark Force, I can start my cleanup plan. That’s when I can reap a huge harvest.’
In the meantime, he would use this period of accumulation to master his Martial Arts.
With two Superior Martial Arts, any further advancement would bring a quantum leap in strength.
...
「A few days passed.」
Ever since Fang Xing took the position of Chief Constable, many factions had offered him benefits.
Besides the smaller factions, the Five Great Forces had also extended an olive branch.
Fang Xing didn’t refuse their attempts to win him over.
He would take the benefits now, but when the time came for a reckoning, he wouldn’t hesitate.
’Since I’m in this position, it’s better to be more stable.’
A month flew by in the blink of an eye.
This month passed without incident.
He spent most of his time cultivating. As for administration, he had basically delegated authority to the four Constables. freewёbnoνel.com
Increasing his strength was his top priority.
He had no time for power struggles.
「Early morning.」
In the courtyard, Fang Xing, dressed in a short tunic, was practicing the Demon Suppression Skill.
For a month, he had made progress every single day.
With the support of both nutritious food and medicinal supplements, his progress could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
In just one month, his Cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Dark Force.
Although he hadn’t reached his ideal goal of the Peak of Dark Force, breaking through to the Late Stage of Dark Force in just a month was absolutely astonishing progress.
WHIP—!
He threw a punch, fast as lightning, and the air cracked with the sound.
After executing the final form of the Demon Suppression Fist, Fang Xing abruptly froze.
BUZZ—!!!
Invisible Power coiled around his entire body, stirring the air and forming a vortex.
An immense aura erupted from him.
A flash of insight bloomed in his mind.
The acupoints on the soles of his feet opened up, and he felt the boundless, heavy power of the earth.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Inside him, a sound like popping beans erupted as his bones and tendons resonated in unison.
Power surged through his body like a flood, and the aura around him instantly soared to its peak.
WHIP—!
Suddenly, he threw a punch. Invisible Power radiated outward, and the immense aura spread throughout the entire courtyard.
The large willow tree on the street outside the courtyard seemed to be affected somehow. Its branches trembled, and its leaves scattered chaotically.
"Peak of Dark Force!"
At that moment, Fang Xing snapped back to his senses.
His Cultivation had shattered the Profound Gate, leaping from the Late Stage of Dark Force to the Peak of Dark Force in a single breath.
It was only a small step, yet his Power had instantly tripled.
The vigorous Demon Suppression Force circulated within him, and a vast aura surged around his body.
Standing there, he was like a man-eating tiger.
His aura alone was enough to inflict powerful mental pressure on an ordinary person.
’I finally made it.’ Breaking through to the Peak of Dark Force was an unexpected, pleasant surprise.
He had originally estimated it would take him another seven or eight days to break through.
But in that fleeting moment, insight had struck. He had gained a deeper understanding of his Martial Arts, allowing him to take this step all at once.
It had saved him several days of effort.
Peak of Dark Force!
His Power could kill a Bright Force Martial Artist from ten feet away without physical contact.
The gap between the Late Stage and the Peak didn’t seem large, but only after truly taking this step could one understand how much stronger it made you.
Exhaling, Fang Xing reined in his aura and felt the Demon Suppression Force within his body.
The Demon Suppression Force permeated his entire being.
It gave him a feeling of profound solidity.
To have improved to this level in about half a year was a change so drastic no one would believe it if he told them.
Across all of Qingshan County, his current strength now placed him among the top ranks.
Now, the only ones who could overpower him were Neutralizing Force Martial Artists!
’I wonder how big the gap still is between me, with my proficiency in two Superior Martial Arts, and a Neutralizing Force Martial Artist...’
The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.
Neutralizing Force, the final Dragon Gate of the Foundation Establishment Three Realms!
Primordial Power, transparent inside and out, one with the Innate!
The gap between the Peak of Dark Force and Neutralizing Force was immense; the leap over the Dragon Gate was not just empty talk.
It was a fundamental transformation!
A Neutralizing Force Martial Artist held a high status while roaming the Jianghu. They might not be much in a Great State Mansion, but in a small place like this, a Neutralizing Force Martial Artist was a towering tree that ordinary people could only look up to!
Fang Xing estimated that, at best, he could probably hold his own for a few exchanges.
Although he cultivated two Superior Martial Arts, other Neutralizing Force Martial Artists were no pushovers.
Even if their Martial Arts were inferior to his, the sheer difference in Cultivation level was a gap not easily bridged.
While he had plenty of confidence in himself, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could go head-to-head with a Neutralizing Force Martial Artist.
’I may not be at the level of Neutralizing Force yet, but... among those in the Dark Force realm, I should have no equal.’
Fang Xing’s eyes shone brightly. As he gazed at the rising sun on the horizon, a heroic spirit surged within him.
’Now that I’ve broken through, the cleanup plan can finally begin.’
