High Martial Arts: From Mechanic to Sword Immortal

The gifts of fate have already come with a price tag.

The old man paid no attention to the two younger men, not even glancing at them.

He turned around and led the bowing and scraping Li Wei back into the secret room behind the curtain.

Only after the two figures disappeared did Gao Fei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

His face was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"See that aura, that presence?"

"This is a master!"

Gao Fei said sourly, "If you could give me a level 3 potion, I'd call him daddy."

Han Feng snapped out of his thoughts and patted Gao Fei on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop being so sour."

Everyone has their own destiny, and you can't envy them.

Although the red and blue energy structure was strange, Han Feng did not intend to investigate it further.

The world of such important figures is too far removed from his own.

The most important thing right now is to improve our own capabilities.

As long as you are strong enough, things like third-tier potions and master-level skills will eventually become things you can achieve.

"Let's go to the quiet room."

Han Feng turned and walked towards the row of iron gates.

"Instead of watching others eat meat, it's more important to fill your own bowl first."

Although Gao Fei was still muttering to himself, he immediately perked up again when he thought of the treasure in Han Feng's hands.

"Yes, yes, yes! We have good stuff too! Swipe your card to open the door!"

Gao Fei led Han Feng through several dimly lit alleyways adorned with neon signs with practiced ease.

Finally, they arrived at a row of iron gates that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

"Safe Quiet Room, 500 contribution points or 5 spirit coins per hour."

"We only accept money, no names are accepted, and absolute confidentiality is guaranteed."

Gao Fei pointed to an inconspicuous card reader at the door and said.

Han Feng paid for the two hours directly.

With a dull "click," one of the heavy iron doors slowly slid open.

Inside, a space of less than ten square meters was exposed.

The room was empty, with only the walls and floor gleaming with a metallic sheen, and a futon placed in the center.

When the iron gate closed behind me, all the noise from the outside world was completely shut out.

"Brother Feng, I'll stay outside. Knock if you need anything."

Gao Fei's voice came through the thick door panel, sounding somewhat muffled.

Han Feng responded and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

He did not immediately consume the spiritual plant, but instead calmed his mind and adjusted himself to his best condition.

Then, he took out the three unremarkable spiritual plants from his storage bag.

【Tier 1 Superior Grade - Concentration Flower】

【Tier 1 Superior Grade - Bone Tempering Vine】

[Tier 1 Superior Grade - Amethyst Grass]

These three items cost him almost all of his spirit coins.

Gao Fei thought he was crazy, but Han Feng knew that this was the most cost-effective option he could find.

Compared to those second-tier spiritual plants that look good but have mixed spiritual properties, the energy of these three first-tier high-grade plants is astonishingly pure.

"First, use the Mind-Concentrating Flower to stabilize your spirit, then use the Bone-Tempering Vine to strengthen your sword bones, and finally use the Amethyst Grass to enhance your cultivation."

Han Feng decided on the order and put the somewhat withered Concentration Flower into his mouth.

The petals melt in your mouth.

A cool, sweet spring slid down my throat into my stomach, then transformed into a cool stream of air that rushed straight to my mind.

The mental fatigue was swept away.

The whole world seemed to have been wiped clean, becoming exceptionally clear.

He could even "see" the points of spiritual energy gathered by the spirit-gathering array in the corner of the room, dancing merrily.

[Mental strength ceiling slightly increased; clarity of spiritual vision improved.]

The system notification sounded at just the right moment.

Feeling just right, Han Feng didn't hesitate any longer. He grabbed the bone-tempering vine that looked like an old tree root and bit into it.

"Crack!"

It's hard on the palate, and a bitter and spicy taste explodes in your mouth.

The next second, a scorching and domineering torrent of energy surged into his limbs and bones.

This force did not nourish his blood and qi, but rather precisely penetrated into every inch of his bones.

"Well----"

Han Feng groaned, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

The excruciating pain came from inside the bones as they were repeatedly squeezed and reshaped.

Every bone is being forcibly tempered by this energy.

The intense pain caused his body to tremble involuntarily.

[High-purity tempering energy detected, initiating guidance————]

[Sword Bone Transformation Progress: 53.1/100 — 54/100 —]

The slow ticking of the progress bar became his only motivation to endure the pain.

One minute, two minutes —

When the scorching energy was finally fully absorbed by his bones, Han Feng was drenched in sweat.

He exhaled a long, hot breath, taking away the last trace of tingling numbness deep in his bones.

An indescribable feeling of comfort emanated from within my body.

His body was freed from a heavy shackle, becoming lighter and more resilient.

[Sword Bone Transformation Progress Increased by 3 Points, Current Progress: 56.1/100]

It was just a Bone Tempering Vine that brought about such a huge improvement.

Han Feng clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and his confidence grew stronger.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the half-dead amethyst grass.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed the entire plant.

Unlike the previous two, when Amethyst Grass is ingested, it transforms into a gentle yet inexhaustible energy.

A massive torrent of energy flowed into Han Feng's vast ocean of qi and blood.

The depleted vital energy was rapidly replenished and continued to rise.

[Body Tempering Realm Cultivation +30]

[Body Tempering Realm Cultivation +30]

The system's notification sounds were very pleasant and kept ringing in Han Feng's mind.

He immediately activated his cultivation technique, guiding this massive energy to break through his cultivation barrier.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of the medicine was completely absorbed, Han Feng slowly opened his eyes.

He brought up the system panel.

[Host: Han Feng]

Cultivation Level: Body Tempering Realm, Level 620 (10/2000)

[Inherent Bone: Sword Bone (Transformation Progress: 59.1/100)]

[Maximum Health/Qi: 1500]

[Skills: Sword Control (Mastery), Sword Qi Release (Mastery), Sword Condensation (Beginner), Rune Construction (Beginner) ————]

The three spiritual plants increased his sword bone transformation progress by a total of 6 points, and his cultivation level also increased by a full 200 points!

More importantly, the ability of [Spiritual Vision] has been significantly enhanced.

He activated his [Spiritual Vision] again, and the world before him became completely different.

He could clearly see the flow of qi and blood in every meridian within his body.

It can even distinguish subtle changes in the strength of Qi and blood energy.

This trip to the black market was the right one!

Han Feng pushed open the heavy iron door.

Gao Fei, who was dozing off at the door, suddenly stood up.

"Brother Feng, are you done?"

"Um."

Han Feng nodded.

Gao Fei looked Han Feng up and down and clicked his tongue.

"You seem a little different, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Let's go, back to school."

"Okay!"

The two returned the way they came, preparing to leave this chaotic and troublesome place.

Just as Han Feng reached the vicinity of the "Lingyunxuan" pharmacy he had visited before, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The curtain behind the shop was lifted, and Li Wei walked out with a radiant face.

He was extremely excited and walked with a brisk pace.

The young man who had greeted him earlier was following behind him, and he was respectfully seeing him out.

"Take care, Mr. Li. The effects of the medicine will last for three days. You can contact us at any time during these three days to record your physical data."

"Okay, okay."

Li Wei waved his hand impatiently, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

He looked up and saw Han Feng and Gao Fei standing not far away, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Han Feng! Fatty Gao!"

Li Wei rushed over in three strides, grabbed Han Feng's arm, and was so excited that he was incoherent.

"It's done! It's done! Han Feng, I feel like I'm about to take off!"

Gao Fei was startled by his appearance and muttered to himself.

"Is this guy drinking fake alcohol or on drugs? He's so intoxicated."

Han Feng was also somewhat surprised. He could feel that Li Wei's blood and qi were surging, much stronger than before.

"Congratulations! It seems the potion is working very well."

Han Feng said with a smile.

"It's more than just good!"

Li Wei's face turned red with excitement.

"It's like a miracle drug! I feel so energetic right now, and—"

He lowered his voice, leaned close to Han Feng's ear, and spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

"I feel a new power within me, a very strange power, that is transforming my body."

"The master said this is a sign that my talent is about to awaken!"

Gao Fei listened intently, his eyes wide with amazement, and he almost drooled.

"Holy crap! Really? A talent awakening? Young Master Li, doesn't that mean you're going to rise to the top in one step?!"

"That's right!"

Li Wei proudly puffed out his chest.

"Let me tell you, that feeling was amazing."

"It's like a seed planted inside your body, which could sprout at any time."

"It won't be long before I become a true gifted individual!"

He patted Han Feng's shoulder forcefully, his tone full of genuine joy.

"Han Feng, I'm truly grateful to you. If you hadn't refused that spot that day, I wouldn't have had this incredible opportunity."

"Once I awaken my talent, I'll definitely thank you properly!"

Seeing Li Wei's genuine emotions, Han Feng couldn't help but feel happy for him.

"That's your own destiny, it has little to do with me. Focus on feeling the changes in your body, don't waste the medicine's effects."

Don't worry!

Li Wei laughed heartily.

Han Feng was also curious about how this kind of potion, which could induce the awakening of talent, worked on the human body.

He subconsciously activated his [Spiritual Vision].

That one glance caused his pupils to contract slightly.

In the upgraded [Spiritual Vision] field of vision, a faint dark red line appeared in the originally light red ocean of blood and qi within Li Wei's body.

The color and texture of the silk thread were exactly the same as the strange energy in the heart of that previous master who had reached the Enlightenment Realm!

Extremely weak.

It is almost integrated with the Qi and blood.

But Han Feng could see it clearly.

That master possessed this special energy within his body, and now the potion he refined for Li Wei has caused the "seed" of this energy to appear within Li Wei's body as well.

This must be the core secret of the so-called "customized medicine".

In this way, the "catalyst" of talent is implanted into the user's body, and then it is left to take root and sprout.

As expected of a master at the Enlightenment Realm, his methods are indeed extraordinary.

A thought quietly surfaced in Han Feng's mind.

Is this grafted "talent" really without a price?
