Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Chapter 83 Half a Year of Cultivation

Nothing happened that night. The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the sound of fists whistling through the air came from the seaside.

Su Xin got up and walked out of the wooden house. He saw Yin Li standing on the open ground on the shore, concentrating on practicing the Seven Injury Fist. His moves were fierce and powerful, and his punches were sharp. Each punch was accompanied by a faint trace of Nine Yang True Qi. Although it was not as powerful as Su Xin's, it had already reached a certain level of skill.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Xin's eyes. He stepped forward and examined Yin Li closely, only to discover that in just one night, Yin Li had actually cultivated the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to the sixth level.

This speed of cultivation, though aided by the internal energy of her mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, is also enough to demonstrate her high level of comprehension.

With the Great Shift of the Universe, a technique that can be described as an "internal energy control cheat," Yin Li can freely control the vast Nine Yang True Qi. In future battles, he will have more security and will no longer have to worry about losing control of his internal energy and injuring himself.

"Not bad, you've improved very quickly," Su Xin said with a smile, his tone full of approval.

Hearing the voice, Yin Li stopped her moves, turned around and grinned at him: "It's all thanks to the amazing secret manual Brother Xin gave me! I think the Great Shift of the Universe is so useful, controlling my internal energy is much easier than before."

Su Xin nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and walked to the shore, bent down and picked up a stone that was heavier than yesterday, then jumped and sank into the sea again.

Today, he will use the immense pressure of the seawater to hone his Vajra Fist and Vajra Finger, refine his own strength, and explore a breakthrough in the realm of wooden swords.

After sinking to the bottom of the sea, Su Xin steadied himself, his internal energy suddenly erupted, and the moves of the Mighty Vajra Fist slowly unfolded.

Each punch unleashed a powerful and unparalleled force that collided with the seawater, producing a dull sound like an exploding cannonball. The underwater currents were stirred up violently, and thick jets of water gushed out from the surface from time to time, splashing water everywhere.

He could clearly feel the pressure from the seawater coming from all directions. Every punch he threw was much slower than on land, as if his whole body was carrying a few pounds of weight. Every move required a great deal of effort. But this weight was not limited to one place. Instead, it enveloped his whole body, forcing him to use every bit of strength to the extreme and precisely control every muscle and internal force.

Such intense training is extremely taxing on both internal energy and physical strength.

Half an hour later, Su Xin's internal energy had been mostly depleted. He stopped trying and slowly floated towards the surface of the sea. As soon as he emerged from the water, he couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his face showed some fatigue, but his eyes were bright.

He could clearly feel that his Vajra Fist, honed by the pressure of the seawater, had become increasingly refined and steady.

In the days that followed, Su Xin cultivated according to this rhythm:

During the day, he would rest and replenish his energy from time to time, and spend the rest of the time holding a stone and sinking into the seabed to hone his Vajra Fist and Vajra Finger, using the pressure of the seawater to hone his strength.

At night, he would activate the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, gradually transforming the poisonous internal energy in his body into gentle true qi, which would flow through his meridians throughout his body, precisely stimulating acupoints and repairing the fatigue and minor meridian injuries left by the day's cultivation.

Initially, the transformation of this poisonous internal energy was extremely difficult. If one was not careful, it would lead to internal energy disorder and even aggravate the damage to the meridians.

But Su Xin did not give up. Day after day, he explored and practiced, and gradually found some tricks.

During a late-night repair session, he suddenly experienced a completely new understanding of internal energy.

Poison and gas are not opposites; on the contrary, they can blend and nourish each other. The poisonous power of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand is not only used to harm people, but can also be transformed into an aid to nourish the meridians and enhance internal strength.

At this point, he no longer needs to transform through Tai Chi, but can transform it within his body.

Upon realizing this, Su Xin couldn't help but smile, and his mind cleared up.

He finally found a way to break through the sixth level of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

Currently, his transformation of poisonous internal energy is still clumsy and his control is not precise enough. He needs a lot of time to practice and hone his skills before he can truly achieve the transformation of poisonous energy into qi and the integration of medicine and poison.

Time flies, and half a year has quietly passed.

Yin Li's cultivation has also made great progress. His One-Finger Divine Skill has broken through to the fourth grade. His fingertip energy is refined and its power has greatly increased. He can pierce through hard rocks with a wave of his hand.

He had also mastered the Seven Injury Fist, his moves were skillful, fierce and domineering. Combined with the true qi of the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the internal force control of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, he could now unleash the full power of this fist technique.

However, Yin Li encountered the same problem as Su Xin had faced.

He had already mastered all the contents of the manual, but he still couldn't find the path to further breakthroughs and was unable to advance any further.

Su Xin was not surprised by this. He gently advised, "Ali, true masters are never made by piling up secret manuals. Manuals are just tools to guide you. What truly makes you stronger is your understanding of the manuals, your comprehension of martial arts principles, and your daily practice in real combat. Otherwise, what you are practicing is ultimately the martial arts in the manuals, not your own."

Upon hearing this, Yin Li nodded thoughtfully, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes: "Brother Xin, I understand. From now on, I will no longer just focus on practicing the moves in the manuals, but will ponder and comprehend them more, truly making these martial arts my own."

Su Xin smiled and nodded, gazing at the distant sea, a new plan forming in his mind.

He has become increasingly skilled at converting poisonous internal energy, and a breakthrough in the Thousand Spider Poison Hand technique is just around the corner. Meanwhile, the Mighty Vajra Fist has become increasingly refined under the tempering of the seawater. Perhaps it is time to find an opponent to test the results of his six months of training.

He felt that his martial arts skills were just missing a certain opportunity to break through.

Su Xin's mind began to race. What other masters were there in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?

In the blink of an eye, it occurred to me that I should visit Shaolin Temple.

Just then, a ship sailed towards them from a distance.

Su Xin stared in surprise at the ship in front of him.

Is it really that coincidental?

The people on the boat wore brightly colored, tight-fitting brocade robes embroidered with intricate beaded patterns, belted at the waist, with loose trousers and leather boots, and wore peculiar top hats. They had curly sideburns, were tall, and had deep-set eyes.

That thing in his hand should be the Sacred Flame Token?

Standing next to them were Daisy and the Golden Lion King, and next to them was a little girl with an exotic look.

That must be Xiao Zhao.

Su Xin looked at Dai Qisi, also known as Granny Jin Hua. This person really needed to be killed to avoid causing trouble for Hu Qingniu.

He's a man who keeps his promises; he said he'd resolve the problem.

Now that we've encountered this, we need to solve it.

Su Xin looked towards the ship.

Why did it come ahead of schedule?

Perhaps it was because of the destruction of the Ming Cult.

Yin Li also stopped cultivating and looked at the ship.
