Free Web NovelChapter 196: Chapter 121: Hidden Thunder
A look of anticipation appeared in Qin Fang’s eyes.
He placed the Giant Bee carcasses and other items at the cave entrance. Carrying only the bottle for the liquid and a spoon, he headed toward the small hole that produced the mysterious fluid.
A familiar chill washed over him.
Qin Fang immediately circulated his Qi Blood to warm his body.
After descending about ten meters, his eyes lit up slightly...
"This time... it doesn’t seem as cold as before!"
That was right. He had consumed the mysterious liquid, causing his Physique to improve by leaps and bounds. Now, his Qi Blood was truly like a furnace, and his body felt pleasantly warm.
He walked all the way to the stone bowl. The last time he was in this spot, Qin Fang had found the cold unbearable and could only quickly collect the liquid and leave.
But this time, though a light frost formed on his body hair, his body was actually still very warm.
His eyes brightened. He glanced into the depths, then let out a soft breath and looked at the stone bowl first...
Inside the stone bowl, there was a tiny bit more liquid...
Only about a single drop.
Still, it made Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief. ’It really did produce more!’
He carefully scooped up this one drop of mysterious liquid with the spoon and poured it into the Porcelain Bottle. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Then, his gaze shifted toward the deeper part of the cave...
’This spot has the mysterious liquid... I wonder if there are any other treasures deeper inside?’
Looking at the dark, deep, downward-sloping cavern, Qin Fang decided to walk a little further in to see.
But after just two steps, he came back and placed the Porcelain Bottle he was carrying next to the stone bowl...
He didn’t feel cold now, but he wasn’t sure if the increased chill further inside would cause any changes to the mysterious liquid.
’After all, this stuff is a liquid, isn’t it?’
To prevent any accidents, it was better to leave it here for now and come back to get it later.
’Besides, there’s no one else in this cave but me.’
He started walking deeper again. After about ten more meters, the cold suddenly and drastically intensified!
A layer of frost rapidly coated Qin Fang’s eyelashes, visible to the naked eye.
He circulated his body’s Qi Blood to its limit, but the bone-chilling cold was still rapidly boring its way in!
Especially when he took a breath, Qin Fang felt a searing pain throughout his entire nasal cavity and throat... It wasn’t a burning pain, but an ice-cold one!
HISS...
’This next section is this cold?’
’Even with my enhanced Physique, I can barely withstand it?!’
After just a few moments, frost began to appear all over his body. His skin, which he had trained to be tougher than cowhide, even felt waves of sharp, cutting pain.
He hastily retreated.
It was strange. With just a single step, the difference in cold was enormous... That feeling of being on the verge of being Frozen to Death vanished instantly with that one step.
Qin Fang was amazed... ’What a magical place.’
...Judging from the situation, Qin Fang predicted there must be something even better inside.
However, in his current state, he most likely couldn’t get in.
’I’m almost at the Mid-Anjin Stage, and my Body Refining is approaching Great Success... I’ll come down and check again after I break through to the Mid-Anjin Stage and achieve Great Body Refining Achievement,’ he thought.
He returned to the stone bowl, picked up the Porcelain Bottle, left the cave, and headed back to Wanshui.
Along the way, he of course processed the Giant Bee, getting a large jar of Giant Bee Meat...
「In the blink of an eye, two days passed.」
Early in the morning, in the backyard, Qin Fang was practicing his Standing Pile.
In the midst of his serious Standing Pile practice, at a certain moment, the text on his panel changed...
’Spiritual Snake Listening Wave Pile (High Grade Root Technique) (Great Success) 1:5000’
As the text changed, Qin Fang’s whole body trembled. At the same time, that familiar feeling of Blessings Arrive in the Heart quietly emerged in his mind...
A massive amount of insights on the application of Anjin suddenly became clear to him!
’So... this is "Hidden Thunder in Silk"?’
’The changes between movement and stillness Master talked about... so this is what he meant...’
His eyes gradually brightened. He then closed them to absorb this ’Epiphany’!
An hour later, Qin Fang opened his eyes. His gaze swept over to a stone not far away.
He walked over and gently placed his right hand on the stone.
The next moment, with a thought.
A soft CRACK was heard.
The stone showed no change.
But Qin Fang’s eyes glinted, and he lightly touched the stone...
The surface of the stone seemed to peel away, revealing that the inside had already been shattered to pieces!
’Movement, stillness, explosion...’
’This is "Hidden Thunder in Silk"!’
Now, he could strike Anjin into someone’s body, then Control the Anjin to detonate it instantly!
Just imagine, if someone were standing before him and he struck them with his palm, it would be just like with this stone. The terrifying Anjin would erupt inside their body... What terrifying power was that?
...Their entire internal organs would probably be blasted into a bloody, mangled mess!
His lethality had increased by more than ten times, hadn’t it?
His previous Anjin was like a ’Silver Needle’. Although its Penetration Power was strong and it had great lethality, the damage it caused was only a piercing wound... If it didn’t hit a vital spot, it would only injure someone, not kill them.
But this ’Hidden Thunder in Silk’ was far too terrifying.
A strike to the arm would result in a comminuted fracture!
A strike to the abdomen or chest... that would be enough to blast the internal organs into a bloody pulp!
...That would be a truly fatal injury!
A smile appeared on his face.
’And this terrifying power isn’t just for offense... Offensively, it’s the ultimate evolution of "movement." But when applied to my own body... the Force actually becomes gentler and more supple... This is the manifestation of "stillness."’
What was the use of the Force being gentler and more supple?
Of course, it meant it would be easier to Control the power during Inner Refining!
...The internal organs were still relatively fragile. A little too much force might not only be ineffective, but could even cause injury.
But after mastering this ’Hidden Thunder in Silk’ technique, it would be almost impossible to injure himself during Inner Refining again!
...Movement and stillness, all according to his will.
This was the effect of the Mid-Anjin Stage’s ’Hidden Thunder in Silk’!
He was very satisfied with this improvement.
Then he looked at ’Body Refining’ on his panel again.
’I’m only about ten points away from "Great Success" in Body Refining...’
What kind of improvement would ’Great Success’ in Body Refining bring?
