124: Significant changes

“Hmm, that’s possible.” Xiong Mao nodded.

Although he didn’t plan to cultivate the Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill, he had to go back with Ximen Chuifeng today because the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was still there.

The Old Gang Leader had given him the task of capturing the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, and three days had passed without any progress. Fearing the Old Gang Leader would grow suspicious, Xiong Mao wanted to go ask her.

That woman, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, was so smart; she surely had a way… Guild, Su Duo’s home.

“Quick, get a cup.” Zhuang Sanming told Su Duo as soon as he returned home.

Su Duo’s Father Su and Mother Su were still at work and hadn’t returned. Only the two of them were home now.

“What do you need a cup for?” Su Duo didn’t understand.

“Get a cup so I can pour the water in. We’ll share it, half each.” Zhuang Sanming said naturally.

Half of a half, he hoped it would still have an effect.

Su Duo looked at him in surprise, almost jumping up: “This train exclusive water was so hard to get, Cousin, are you really going to give me half?”

“Nonsense, you’re my cousin. Of course, I’ll share good things with you.” Zhuang Sanming patted her shoulder and said, “Go get a cup quickly.”

“Oh, okay.” Su Duo walked into the room, took out the cup she usually drank from, and said, “Here.”

Zhuang Sanming unscrewed the cap of the train exclusive water bottle, poured out the remaining half, and then drank the rest himself: “You drink it quickly too, and see what effects it has.”

“Okay.” Su Duo raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

“Last time, we only saw Ximen Chuifeng drink the water, but we didn’t get any. He’s a Beast Tamer, so the changes after he drinks the water should be different from ours. You should feel it carefully later.” Zhuang Sanming analyzed.

He hadn't seen what effects the water had on other martial artists. If Xiong Mao had drunk the water today, they could have observed, but how could watching others drink be better than drinking it themselves?

Initially, Zhuang Sanming didn’t fully understand Xiong Mao’s intelligence, but after tricking him out of this bottle of water, he finally understood why Xiong Mao was suppressed by Bao Hui in the Axe Gang.

Because this guy was truly stupid!

If he hadn't met them, Xiong Mao would certainly not have been able to stand out in the gang leader competition. It was even possible that after Bao Hui took power, he would immediately retaliate, and Xiong Mao would cease to exist.

One could only say that Xiong Mao might be lacking in other areas, but he had good taste in making friends. Moreover, he had also drunk Xiong Mao’s half-bottle of train exclusive water.

He was someone who would always diligently fulfill any promise he made, even if it meant risking his life.

“Wow! Cousin, the Qi Cavitys in my body have changed so much all of a sudden!” Su Duo was the first to feel the changes in her Qi Cavitys, her eyes sparkling brightly.

“I think I feel it too.” Zhuang Sanming closed his eyes, sat in the chair, and silently felt the minute changes within his body.

It was indeed changing by a tiny fraction, but the final effect was far more than just that tiny fraction.

It was like Ximen Chuifeng’s Crimson Flame Ant; its bloodline only improved by a tiny bit, but the changes were terrifying.

Bloodline is extremely important for a fierce beast.

Bloodline purification is something every fierce beast yearns for.

Now, Zhuang Sanming felt that his Qi Cavitys and Qi Vortex had undergone significant changes, and also his elemental power. Elemental power surged around his body, becoming visible.

This change suddenly reminded Zhuang Sanming that he had once seen an ancient book in his home. The ancient book was tattered, its cover worn away, and the pages inside were all jumbled. One of the pages recorded matters concerning the solidification of elemental power.

Generally, martial artists with ordinary Qi Cavitys have elemental power that is invisible and intangible because their elemental power is too faint.

However, with changes in cultivation, elemental power also undergoes some alterations.

Yet, the upper limit of ordinary Qi Cavitys is truly too low; most martial artists with ordinary Qi Cavitys find it difficult to break through above level ten in their lifetime.

Martial artists above level ten can begin to learn martial skills.

The ancient book recorded that the higher the grade of the Qi Cavitys, the more substantial the elemental power condensed.

Furthermore, as cultivation increases, after reaching level twenty, one can directly condense weapons from elemental power, which are called elemental weapons.

Why is it said to be recorded in an ancient book? Because in the entire 155 Fortress, even the City Lord, who had already reached level twenty, had not been able to condense an elemental weapon.

In short, the more solid and substantial the elemental power, the higher the martial artist’s talent.

“Ah, why does it suddenly smell so bad!”

Su Duo twitched her nose and suddenly smelled a foul odor.

She initially thought it was coming from outside, but after checking, the smell was very faint.

So she came back and then discovered that the pungent stench was actually emanating from Zhuang Sanming!

“Wow, Cousin, you stink.” Su Duo pouted, fanned her hand in front of her nose, and said, enduring the unpleasant smell.

Zhuang Sanming hadn't reacted yet because it was his own smell, so he wasn't as sensitive as Su Duo. But now, hearing Su Duo say this, he realized he really did stink.

“My goodness, how did I get so smelly? And there’s sludge.” Zhuang Sanming quickly jumped off the chair, afraid of dirtying it. “I’m going to take a shower. We’ll talk later.”

“Mm-hmm, Cousin, you go quickly. It’s so smelly.” Su Duo covered her nose and quickly walked out to get some fresh air.

Zhuang Sanming didn’t understand why mud with a foul odor appeared on his body after he drank the water.

Su Duo had also drunk the water, but she didn’t seem to have gotten smelly.

What was going on?

Never mind, he would wash off this mud first.

After Zhuang Sanming came out of the shower, he found that the Qi Vortex in his body seemed to have changed again. At the same time, he felt that his thoughts had become clearer, as if… he had attained enlightenment?!

What was going on with this sudden feeling of seeing through the mundane world and wanting to become a monk?

There were no temples in this place.

“Cousin, you’re done showering.” Su Duo opened the door to air out the smell, and now the room finally didn’t stink.

“Mm, are Aunt and Uncle coming back soon? Let’s quickly tidy this place up first.” Zhuang Sanming said.

“Okay.”

Father Su and Mother Su didn’t know that they took the train into the forest every day; before, they just went for training and hunting.

After tidying up the living room, Zhuang Sanming didn’t stay there but told Su Duo: “I feel particularly clear-headed now. Yesterday, I only cultivated a little of the Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill, but running it now, I feel a huge difference from yesterday. Let’s go, let’s go cultivate at Ximen Chuifeng’s house for a while longer.”

“Ah? Still going?”

Although Su Duo could also cultivate the Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill, she still hadn’t decided whether or not to cultivate it.
