Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

On the other side, Su Xin had already finished practicing the Seven Injury Fist and began practicing the Vajra Fist. This was the first time he had fully practiced a martial art after breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Vajra Fist and Vajra Finger. At this moment, he felt his whole body was full of power, and his fierce internal energy was flowing through his meridians, almost breaking through the shackles.

A sharp glint flashed in Su Xin's eyes. He turned to look at the rock wall beside him, moved swiftly, and threw a punch!

The fist whistled through the air, and before it even touched the rock wall, it had already formed a sharp force, making a sharp "whoosh" sound, reaching the level of "the energy is injured before the fist arrives".

Immediately afterwards, a muffled "thump" rang out as the fist slammed heavily against the hard rock wall. The force of the punch instantly exploded, creating a clear "sonic boom" effect, so fast that it was impossible to defend against.

This punch condensed the power of his Vajra Fist at its peak, making it fierce and domineering, reaching the extreme of ferocity. It completely overwhelmed people with its momentum and broke all laws with its strength.

As the dust settled, a clear fist print was clearly visible on the smooth rock face, varying in depth, with rock fragments falling from its edges, demonstrating the immense power of the punch.

Su Xin withdrew his fist, flexed his wrist, felt the residual power in his fist, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Hearing the commotion, Ji Xiaofu couldn't help but turn around. When she saw the clear fist print on the rock wall, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her eyes were filled with shock.

Although she already knew that Su Xin was strong, she never imagined that his punches could be so powerful that they could leave fist marks on even a hard rock wall. This strength probably already surpasses that of an ordinary first-class master.

Ji Xiaofu wondered to herself: If he has such formidable strength, why did he have to resort to such elaborate schemes and tricks to lure Wei Yixiao into a trap? With the power he is displaying now, he could have simply delivered a punch and crushed him with sheer strength. Why go through all that trouble?

She recalled Su Xin's style of doing things. He was ruthless and vicious, and his strength was also strange and unpredictable. Yet, his martial arts were so fierce and domineering, combining both strength and gentleness. This contradictory appearance left her at a loss for words.

If Su Xin knew her thoughts, he would definitely scoff and say that this was "cautious courage".

Having both the courage to defeat enemies and the wisdom to plan carefully, avoiding reckless confrontations, and winning with minimal cost is the best strategy for navigating the world.

Su Xin practiced his martial arts several more times in the open space of the cave, refining the details of his moves after mastering them. Before he knew it, the night deepened, the flames of the campfire gradually weakened, and the cave became increasingly quiet.

Ji Xiaofu leaned against the rock wall, and as she looked at it, she couldn't resist her exhaustion and slowly fell asleep. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and even in her sleep, she still looked somewhat weak.

Su Xin withdrew his attack, glanced at the sleeping Ji Xiaofu, and a barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

He added some firewood to the fire, making it warm again, and then sat down by the fire, keeping watch and alert to all movements inside and outside the cave. He didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, the first rays of light shone through the cracks in the cave, dispelling the darkness inside.

Ji Xiaofu slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her throbbing temples, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Su Xin squatting by the fire, holding a piece of bear meat in his hand, slowly roasting it. The bear paw on the fire was already charred black, emitting a faint smell of burning.

She thought to herself: This bear paw has been sitting in the oven all night, it's probably rotten by now, I don't know why he's even roasting it.

Su Xin noticed she was awake, raised his chin, and pointed to the dry rations by the fire: "Come and eat something since you're awake. The bear paws are almost done roasting, just have some to tide you over."

The two ate a simple breakfast. Although the bear paw still tasted terrible, it was better than the bear meat and managed to replenish their energy and fill their stomachs.

Su Xin looked at Ji Xiaofu and saw that her complexion was much better than last night, but she still looked a bit weak. He said, "How about I use my internal energy to clear your meridians and help you completely dispel the cold in your body so that you can recover faster?"

Ji Xiaofu quickly shook her head, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and her originally pale complexion had regained some color. Her tone was also lighter: "No need to trouble you, I'm almost fully recovered and can walk normally, so it won't delay our journey."

Su Xin nodded without pressuring her. He packed his bags, carefully put away the brocade box containing the Five-Colored Snow Spider, picked up the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and said to Ji Xiaofu, "Let's go. We'll leave the cave and find the Snow Mountain Jade Spider. Once we find it, we'll go down the mountain."

The two walked out of the cave one after the other. The snow-capped mountain was exceptionally quiet in the early morning. Snow covered the entire mountaintop, and the sunlight shone on the snow, making it gleam with a dazzling white light.

As Su Xin walked, he explained to Ji Xiaofu, "The Snow Mountain Jade Spider and the Five-Colored Snow Spider have different habits. They live in the shady places on the top of the snow mountain, do not spin silk and weave webs, but have corrosive venom produced by the extreme cold in their bodies, which is extremely toxic."

He paused, then added, "This type of spider usually acts alone. It is slightly smaller than the multicolored snow spider and is translucent all over, as if it were carved from jade. This is where its name, 'Snow Mountain Jade Spider,' comes from."

Ji Xiaofu silently kept it in mind and followed Su Xin to search carefully in the shady area on the mountaintop. They climbed over towering rocks and passed through low bushes. Hard work pays off. After searching for about half an hour, the two finally found a spider that was pure white and looked like mutton fat jade in the shady area of ​​a huge rock.

It was the Snow Mountain Jade Spider.

Su Xin carefully led the Snow Mountain Jade Spider into the brocade box and found a few more.

With all five types of spiders now complete, he breathed a sigh of relief and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "Finally, I've collected them all."

Having collected all five types of spiders, Su Xin felt that his purpose for the trip had been achieved, so he didn't linger any longer and began to descend the mountain path with Ji Xiaofu.

After walking a few steps, he turned to look at Ji Xiaofu and saw that although she had recovered a little compared to the morning, her steps were still somewhat unsteady, and she was obviously still a little weak.

Su Xin frowned slightly:

But on this vast snow-covered mountain, there was snow everywhere, and I didn't recognize any cold-resistant medicinal herbs or find anything that could help regulate my body.

But deep down, he had no desire to stay.

He was eager to return to the Kunlun Secret Realm as soon as possible, firstly to settle down and properly cultivate the five poisonous spiders, and then to begin cultivating the Five Poisons Primordial Chaos and break through to the fourth level of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

Secondly, he also wanted to melt down the Heaven Sword as soon as possible and take out the accelerated version of the Nine Yin Manual inside.

He really didn't want to waste time.

Ji Xiaofu followed behind him, and seeing his slowed pace and slightly furrowed brows, she already guessed his hesitation.

He certainly didn't want to linger on this snowy mountain, but he was also concerned about his weak health and didn't want to say it directly.
