Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 35 - 35: Promotion to Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist

”But these three corpses need to be dealt with properly.”

Jiang Fan looked at the three corpses on the ground. If the villagers discovered them, it might blow the matter out of proportion.

Of course, he wasnʼt afraid of any trouble.

After all, these three were petty thieves; slicing them was their own fate.

He was only worried about exposing his strength, thereby attracting the attention of the Dragon King Gang.

Because right now, his strength was not enough to do as he pleased within the Dragon King Gang, so he needed to act discreetly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan didnʼt hesitate to move the three corpses and their heads to the backyard.

Here, there was dirt everywhere, and large trees were growing.

Then he took out a bottle of strange liquid from his body.

This was the Corpse-Dissolving Water obtained from the flower thief, Cao Jun.

One drop on a corpse could completely melt it into a pool of blood — incredibly mysterious.

It was arguably the best means to destroy evidence.

Bang~~

Suddenly, Jiang Fan dropped a single liquid drop on the three corpses, and they melted rapidly at a visibly swift pace, turning into a pool of blood and dissolving into the earth.

Even the clothes were melted away and vanished without a trace.

”Cao Jun truly deserves his name as a flower thief for decades; itʼs amazing how many peculiar poisons heʼs refined.”

Jiang Fan sighed in amazement.

He knew the refinement of Corpse-Dissolving Water was not simple; it was said the main ingredient comes from the Cannibal Flower.

This Cannibal Flower specifically devours various animal carcasses from nature and secretes some unique liquid.

Cao Jun separated this strange liquid from the Cannibal Flowerʼs body and refined it into Corpse-Dissolving Water.

Itʼs safe to say this was an essential technique for Cao Jun to travel the Jianghu for many years.

Just one drop is enough to destroy a corpse, turning it into blood water and becoming natural fertilizer.

”Indeed, itʼs a supernatural world.”

”Even the plants in this world arenʼt simple, containing incredible abilities.”

Jiang Fanʼs gaze flickered.

In fact, after Caoʼs Poison Scripture reached the mastery level, he understood the various poisons in this world are so miraculous and drastically different from his previous life because of many extraordinary plants existing here.

These extraordinary plants all contain varying degrees of power.

Then the doctors of this world discovered the properties of these plants and fused them together, forming peculiar drugs, which is the origin of the poisons in Caoʼs Poison Scripture.

Thatʼs why the properties of each poison are so magical.

If this world didnʼt have extraordinary plants, the poisons wouldnʼt be so potent.

Thud!

After completing all this, Jiang Fan immediately sensed a surge of information deep within his sea of consciousness: ”Because you were alert and luckily counter-killed the thieves attacking in the dead of night, successfully surviving a murderous tribulation, youʼve obtained a Ninth-Grade Opportunity and a hundred Luck Points.”

What?!

Sensing this information, Jiang Fan was overjoyed immediately. Although these three thieves didnʼt have any treasure, they brought him a hundred Luck Points and a Ninth-Grade Opportunity.

If added to the previously acquired Luck Points, it already totaled over three hundred.

This meant he could completely use these Luck Points to elevate his cultivation to the Strong Sinew Realm.

Once he becomes a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist, both strength and speed would double compared to before.

Such power was more than enough to become an Elder in the Dragon King Gang.

Luo Zhengʼs strength was merely in the Strong Sinews Realm.

For ordinary Martial Artists, achieving such a realm in a decade or two is impossible.

Of course, if one was a noble descendant, they could consume Treasure Medicine and eat Treasure Fish daily to shorten the time.

But it would still take several years to advance.

”Thereʼs nothing to hesitate about; let me advance.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

He knew that in times of turmoil, everything is false; only force is real.

Without martial prowess, any wealth is merely empty.

If he could become a Strong Sinew Realm Martial Artist, then even when faced with oppression from the Dragon King Gang, he would have the power to protect himself.

So thereʼs nothing to hesitate about.

Boom!

In an instant, he sensed the consumption of two hundred sixty Luck Points from his three hundred, then transformed into a strange power that permeated every corner of his body.

At the same time, he naturally entered the state of practicing the Soaring Snake Technique, operating the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique.

Inhaling and exhaling, inhaling and exhaling.

It seemed like a natural Daoist technique, akin to an immortal snake, exhaling clouds and mist.

Mysterious substances from heaven and earth surged, forming white clouds shrouding this small courtyard.

Under the guidance of the Soaring Snake Breathing Technique, this mysterious energy traversed his entire body.

At this moment, he sensed every muscle in his body received thorough tempering, with an astonishing enhancement in strength.

Finally, this energy penetrated into every tendon vein.

Making every tendon vein incredibly reinforced, seemingly indomitable.

Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist!

In an instant, Jiang Fan immediately knew he had become a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist. Under the tempering of this mysterious energy, he effortlessly broke through the Refining Flesh Realm.

His power vastly improved compared to before.

”Now my strength is at least three thousand pounds.”

Jiang Fan squeezed his fists, feeling explosive power coursing through every inch of his muscles. A punch could unleash at least three thousand pounds of force.

Compared to before, the difference was incomparable.

The extent of the enhancement was simply too exaggerated.

Of course, the enhancement of strength was merely the most trivial aspect.

He felt the greatest improvement was in the enhancement of the five senses.

Smell, hearing, touch, vision — all senses were strengthened by a whole fold.

This also made his combat instincts more terrifying than ever.

He possessed a hint of the state where cicadas sense autumn breezes before they move.

Even five meters away, he could sense the killing intent of an enemy and their every move.

In his eyes, an enemyʼs actions seemed like slow motion; his dynamic vision was extremely strong.

”Whatʼs called a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist is one who devours mysterious substances between heaven and earth to strengthen the tendons within. This is a crucial Martial Dao Realm for Martial Artists.”

”If all tendons are strengthened, the power one can unleash is beyond what a Refined Flesh Martial Artist can imagine.”

Jiang Fan carefully contemplated the power of a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist.

Tendon, the power of the flesh.

A strong person internally polishes their tendons.

Put plainly, tendons are ligaments attached to bones.

If the tendons are strong enough, a Martial Artist can freely use the strength of their body.

Thus, not fearing that their own great strength will cause tendon rupture.

Therefore, tendons are vitally important for Martial Artists.

Once one becomes a Strong Sinew Martial Artist, they can fully exert their strength, with a combat capability ordinary people canʼt imagine.

A punch can easily kill a bull.

The fierce force contained within is simply unfathomable.

If such individuals entered the military, they would at least hold the rank of second lieutenant.
