Then, the crowd saw Yang Qi approaching by walking on water, and they were utterly dumbfounded. This was even more incredible than the patriarch Bodhidharma crossing the river on a single reed. He was literally walking on water as if it were solid ground. What on earth is this technique?
In truth, with Yang Qi's current cultivation, he shouldn't have been able to achieve this. But he had a Spirit Talisman. By using it, he could indeed walk on water as if on flat ground for a short period.
As they watched, Yang Qi leaped onto the speedboat.
"Wonderful! Mr. Yang, it's such a relief to see you're unhard!" Elder Chen let out a long sigh.
Chen Baixiang's eyes were red from crying. If Yang Qi had died, she would have been irredeemably at fault.
"Baixiang, kneel before Mr. Yang!" Elder Chen commanded. "Do you understand now? The man you despised and looked down on is the very man who saved you. If it weren't for him, who knows what would have happened to you today."
THUMP!
Chen Baixiang fell to her knees. Whether Yang Qi forgave her or not no longer mattered. He had saved her life today, an imnse debt of gratitude.
"Mr. Yang, I was wrong! I was completely wrong!" Chen Baixiang cried, her words choked with sobs.
Yang Qi gave her a faint glance before turning to her grandfather. "Elder Chen, let's leave this matter here. After all, your granddaughter and I will have no reason to cross paths again. I only want to leave her with one piece of advice: think before you act. Do not pass judgnt or slander soone based on your own subjective assumptions!"
With that, he leaped off the speedboat and strode away across the water's surface, soon vanishing into the darkness.
Elder Chen sighed. He knew that while Yang Qi might have forgiven Chen Baixiang on the surface, a rift had ford. There was nothing to be done; Chen Baixiang had brought this entirely upon herself. Who else could be blad?
「...」
Back at the White Mountain Estate, all the outsiders were gone. Aside from the security guards at the gate, there was no one else.
The Wolf King had already moved in. Yang Qi decided not to return to his old place for the ti being. The duel on the Life and Death Platform was fast approaching, and he planned to focus on his cultivation here for a while.
He had obtained a two-hundred-year-old dicinal herb from the Elixir dicine Conference. Furthermore, after killing Chuyun Xiong, he had discovered two one-hundred-year-old dicinal herbs on the cruise ship. Using these herbs, along with Spirit Stones to aid in the refinent, he was confident he could produce several Foundation Establishnt Pills and achieve another breakthrough.
Normally, these herbs could yield three Foundation Establishnt Pills. An unskilled refiner might not produce a single pill, but a highly skilled one could potentially create as many as ten. It all depended on his own ability.
Yang Qi now possessed the Five Elents Spiritual Fire, which greatly increased the success rate and efficiency of his elixir refinent. He believed he could create at least seven or eight Foundation Establishnt Pills, which would be more than enough to advance his cultivation.
However, to his surprise, after a full night of refinent, when the Foundation Establishnt Pills erged, there were a full ten of them. Ten pills—it was almost unimaginable. This result far exceeded his usual standard. It seed that as his cultivation increased, so did his efficiency in processing dicinal herbs.
Without hesitation, Yang Qi began consuming the Foundation Establishnt Pills one by one. He didn't dare swallow them all at once; the energy contained within ten pills was too terrifying. He feared his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
As he consud the pills, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy flooded his body, forming a complete Circulation through his limbs and ridians. For an entire day and night, Yang Qi didn't leave his room, yet he felt no hunger at all.
At one point, a potent rush of energy burst from the room. The Wolf King, who was standing guard outside, imdiately sat down to cultivate. The Spiritual Energy leaking from Yang Qi's breakthrough alone was enough to be of imnse benefit to him.
Inside the room, Yang Qi's body glowed brightly. The light lingered for a long ti before gradually fading. His skin was now covered in a foul-slling substance. It appeared that during his cultivation, the impurities in his body had been expelled through his pores. This process left his body stronger and more formidable than ever before.
He quickly showered, changed into fresh clothes, and cleaned the room. By the ti he stepped outside, the Wolf King had also finished his cultivation. Remarkably, the Wolf King had advanced two consecutive levels, becoming a Third Rank Great Grandmaster. This was a level of progress he would never have dared to imagine before. Such were the benefits of staying by Yang Qi's side.
It seems the Foundation Establishnt Pill also works on martial artists. In the future, I can refine so to help the Wolf King and the others increase their combat power. The stronger they are, the more they can help .
"Wolf King," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Co, punch
with all your strength!"
"Yes!" This ti, the Wolf King didn't hesitate, knowing he couldn't possibly harm Yang Qi.
Channeling his full power, the Wolf King threw a punch directly at Yang Qi's chest.
BANG!
A thunderous impact echoed. The Wolf King felt a powerful shockwave reverberate up his arm, which was now throbbing with excruciating pain. It wasn't like hitting a person at all; it felt like he had struck solid steel. And to think, Yang Qi hadn't even used his Stone Armor Technique. In his normal state, a Third Rank Great Grandmaster using their full strength couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Hahaha, the Sixth Layer of the Foundation Establishnt Stage is truly terrifying! My body has been strengthened even further, and my five senses have beco much sharper. I'm completely different from an ordinary person now.
Yang Qi was ecstatic.
Cao Kun! Shi Quan! On the Life and Death Platform, I will make you both regret this! he sneered inwardly. Previously, he had been sowhat wary of Shi Quan, but not anymore. Since arriving in Thunder City, he had broken through two layers of cultivation. Victory was now certain.
「anwhile.」
Inside a lavish clubhouse in Thunder City, Cao Kun and Shi Quan were seated across from an elderly man. This was the referee they had invited for the duel: the renowned head of the Tianfu Martial Arts Dojo, Jiang Tianfu.
The Tianfu Martial Arts Dojo, located on Thunder City's central street, was the most powerful of the five major dojos. Jiang Tianfu himself was a legendary figure, rumored to be among the top ten experts in the city. Besides being the dojo's head, Jiang Tianfu was also one of the vice presidents of the Jingnan Prefecture Martial Arts Association.
The Martial Arts Association was an organization responsible for governing the affairs of martial artists, possessing great authority similar to the Elixir dicine Association and the National dicine Association. Unless one's combat power surpassed that of the association's top experts, they were bound by its rules. Even Cao Kun had to operate within its constraints, which spoke volus about Jiang Tianfu's influence.
The Life and Death Platform in Jingnan Prefecture was also managed by the Martial Arts Association, and Jiang Tianfu typically served as the referee for its duels. This ti was no exception.
On the table between them were bottles of red wine worth hundreds of thousands, along with expensive watches, works of calligraphy, and other luxurious items.
Jiang Tianfu gave the gifts a cool glance, then closed his eyes slightly. "Gentlen, you know I'm not that kind of person. I, Jiang Tianfu, have always prided myself on my fairness."
Cao Kun smiled. "Of course, Chairman Jiang is fair. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sought you out. Please, consider these items a small token of our respect. Only a man of your stature, Chairman Jiang, is worthy of such fine things!"
