From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

Chapter 137 Improvement

As dawn broke, the Wu'an Bureau of Nanjiang City temporarily detained Luo Yuanbai and others who were on the verge of death.

They waited for the Xuanjia Division of the Wu'an Hall to arrive and take them away for interrogation.

After finishing all that, Jiang Heng also had a meal with his former colleagues from the General Administration, which was a way of catching up.

He then returned to the Qinghe Research Institute and met Pei Yu again.

"Brother Jiang, are you alright?"

The battlefield was right next to the Qinghe Research Institute, and Pei Yu witnessed the fighting that broke out on the long street last night.

However, the combat between level six martial artists is too fast.

The violent aura created a shockwave that was far too fierce for her to comprehend.

Only Jiang Heng stopped in front of the illusory image of the blue-scaled armor.

She finally saw the powerful punch that followed.

Jiang Heng shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Um……"

Pei Yu nodded slightly, then turned around and picked up the bottle of imitation Gu poison from last night from the lab table, handing it to Jiang Heng.

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Heng took the medicine and nodded slightly.

He wasn't sure how much of an effect this solution would have on him now that he had reached the sixth level of physical cultivation.

However, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

"Then I'll head back now."

Goodbye, Brother Jiang.

Pei Yu silently watched Jiang Heng's broad back as he turned and left, opening her mouth as if to say something.

But she didn't say anything in the end, only sighed softly.

Perhaps she had some other thoughts before, but now...

The gap is too big.

A nineteen-year-old level six martial artist, famous throughout the entire Tianfu Administrative Region.

If he wanted to, countless young and beautiful female martial artists would flock to his door.

It's not her turn...

……

Jiang Heng returned to his room and sat down at the table.

With his current perception abilities, he was naturally able to sense Pei Yu's thoughts.

The problem is that the higher a martial artist's physical level, the greater the gap between their physical strength and that of an ordinary person.

At Jiang Heng's current level, with his physical strength,

Even the slightest carelessness can cause extremely serious harm to ordinary people.

Therefore, most high-level martial artists' partners are also martial artists.

Ordinary people have absolutely no chance of having close contact with high-level martial artists...

Jiang Heng shook his head slightly, then withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention on the bottles of medicine in front of him.

One of the bottles of the imitation Gu poison that Pei Yu researched was made by imitating the Gu poison extracted from Aganda's black jade gourd.

Its specific effects are still unclear and require further testing, but I'm afraid the results won't be very good...

In addition, there were three smaller medicine bottles from Luo Yuanbai.

The bottle is made of a semi-transparent solid gel.

It appears to be the bodily fluid of some mutated organism, or a mutated resin, with an unusually firm texture.

Last night, when Jiang Heng punched Luo Yuanbai in the chest, he also hit a bottle of this green liquid.

But it only caused a crack to appear on the bottle.

The fact that the medicine bottle is so sturdy is enough to indicate the preciousness of the green liquid inside...

Jiang Hengxian picked up the imitation Gu poison liquid on the left, drew out the solution through a syringe, and then injected it into the vein in his arm.

[The counterfeit Gu worm's deadly poison is invading the body...]

Jiang Heng waited silently for a moment until the entire bottle of solution spread throughout his body along his blood vessels.

"Disease erosion, transformation."

The gentle and mysterious power of the disease-causing agent quickly cleared away the deadly toxins from the body.

The feedback power was quickly channeled into the second acupoint to be activated—the Shen Ting—located in front of the Baihui acupoint.

The Shen Ting acupoint, located on the top of the forehead, gradually begins to loosen.

But this feedback force was quickly exhausted.

Jiang Heng shook his head regretfully:

"It's definitely not working..."

With his current level six physical strength, the Gu poison effect of the black jade gourd has been greatly reduced.

"However, if there are enough of them, they should still be able to play a certain role."

Jiang Heng murmured to himself, then looked up at the three remaining bottles of bluish-green potion on the table.

The solution in the finger-thick medicine bottle refracted a dazzling bluish-green light under the overhead lamp.

Without thinking much, Jiang Heng picked up one of the bottles of medicine, drew in a syringe, and tried to inject it into his arm vein.

Although they were several bottles of unknown medicine, with no name or ingredients, he didn't care.

If it is not toxic, direct injection is fine.

If it's poisonous... even better!

A surge of power, seemingly brimming with vitality, flowed into Jiang Heng's blood.

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up slightly: "This is..."

A boundless and abundant vitality flows through his body like a river.

Without hesitation, he immediately mobilized his internal energy and blood, directing it to the "Shen Ting" acupoint on his forehead.

This power from the green medicine, driven and cleansed by the Qi and blood, rapidly stimulated the "Shen Ting acupoint".

"Whoosh—"

The moment the Shen Ting acupoint opened, Jiang Heng's mental will seemed to expand by an inch.

Originally, the "True Intent of Blazing Fire" extended upwards from the furnace of the five internal organs and finally settled at the Baihui acupoint.

It also transformed into a wisp of green smoke, which gently descended and extended into the Shen Ting acupoint.

Our perception of special external energies has also become clearer.

However, it is not over yet.

This vibrant energy still has about two-thirds of its strength remaining!

"continue!"

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up immediately, and he once again controlled his qi and blood to rush to the next acupoint, Yintang.

The surging, abundant energy surged through the Yintang acupoint once more after a short while...

It only gradually subsided when the third Duiduan acupoint was opened and the fourth Chengjiang acupoint was about to be opened.

Jiang Heng exhaled slowly, his eyes brightening slightly as he looked at the two remaining bottles of greenish-blue liquid on the table.

At this moment, he had roughly guessed where these bottles of medicine came from.

Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid!

One bottle of potion can help a level 6 martial artist open three acupoints in one go, increasing their level by 0.03.

Even in the Tianfu Wu'an Hall, there is no medicine with such good effects.

The Luo family naturally couldn't have one either, otherwise they wouldn't have been suppressed and beaten by the Wu'an Hall for so many years.

That would most likely be the Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid from the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang.

Presumably, Luo Yuanbai worked for the Thousand Gu Alliance, and thus received these bottles of Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid as a reward...

Jiang Heng nodded slightly in satisfaction, and was about to reach for the second bottle of Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid on the table.

At this moment, he slightly raised his gaze and subconsciously glanced at the data on the panel.

[Current Status: Thousand Spirits Gu Poison is lurking...]

Jiang Heng's outstretched right hand paused slightly, and his gaze focused on it.

"Lurking poison?"

Whether he was injecting this bottle of "Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid" or not,

Even when mobilizing qi and blood to break through acupoints, I didn't notice any signs of poisoning at all...

Jiang Heng thought about it for a moment and then understood.

"No wonder the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang are so generous, even offering such precious medicine as a reward."

"So it turns out the problem was with the medicine itself..."

Once other martial artists consume this Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid, the Gu poison will lurk within their bodies, and their lives will likely be controlled by the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang!

Jiang Heng pondered for a long time, then a thought struck him.

"Disease erodes, transformation occurs!"

The power of the disease surged into his body again, beginning to examine the toxins and lesions within him.

From the chest and internal organs to the limbs, nothing unusual was found.

It wasn't until the pathogenic energy flowed to the head and passed over the three acupoints of "Shen Ting", "Yin Tang", and "Dui Duan" that a reaction occurred.

The three acupoints, which appeared to be normal, inexplicably swelled up and trembled slightly when the corrosive force of the disease passed over them.

Three extremely high-pitched whistling sounds rang in Jiang Heng's mind.

It was as if these three acupoints harbored evil beings imbued with sentience.

At this moment, under the cleansing effect of the disease, it let out a series of mournful screams!

"What a bizarre poison..."

Jiang Heng murmured to himself.

This "Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid" seems to have truly acquired the most basic instincts and intelligence.

This is a type of poison that Jiang Heng has never seen before among the poisons he has injected.

They can even remain hidden, taking advantage of the moment when a martial artist has just opened their acupoints, and conceal themselves within them... no wonder they are difficult to detect.

Once this poison erupts, it could instantly destroy these acupoints, causing severe damage to the martial artist!

The more bottles of this Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid one consumes, the more completely the Thousand Gu Alliance will control them in the future...

A few breaths later, the lurking poison in the three acupoints was completely wiped out, and a surge of feedback power emerged.

Jiang Heng then manipulated the surging feedback power and devoted it to the development of the fourth acupoint.

The Chengjiang acupoint is located above the lower jaw, and it vibrates gently under the influence of the feedback force.

It then slowly opened, merging with the energy, gradually transforming into a vortex of energy.

Connecting with the "True Meaning of Blazing Fire" that hangs down from above like wisps of green smoke.

The feedback force continued to spread downwards to the acupoints, breaking through the "Lianquan" and "Tiantu" acupoints again before slowly dissipating.

"call……"

As the corrosive power within his body dissipated, Jiang Heng's heart stirred, and he raised his gaze to look at the data on the panel.

[Physical Body Level: 6.06]

Just one bottle of "Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid" gave him a 0.06-level boost!

"This is really good stuff..."

Jiang Heng couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

It has both positive effects and can directly improve his physical level.

It also has a negative effect: the Thousand Spirit Gu poison hidden within can be transformed through [Disease Erosion] to further enhance its strength.

Double the effect!

Without hesitation, Jiang Heng picked up the remaining two bottles of Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid on the table and injected them into his body one after another.

Feeling the surging vitality within his body, Jiang Heng once again mobilized his Qi and blood, beginning to attack the next acupoint in his body...

A short while later.

The corrosive power within his body dissipated, and the Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid within Jiang Heng's body, as well as the Gu poison hidden in his acupoints, were all completely cleaned up.

His physical body level has also undergone a significant change.

[Physical Body Level: 6.06 → 6.18]

At this moment, all eighteen acupoints on Jiang Heng's body have been activated.

It serves as a gateway for communication between the physical body and special energies from the outside world, and also as a medium connecting the internal organs to the physical body.

Jiang Heng's control over his own bioenergy and his perception of special external energies have been further enhanced.

In contrast,

The power of the several body-refining divine runes and innate divine abilities that Jiang Heng has mastered will also be correspondingly enhanced.

If he were to unleash [Calamity Flame - Blood Curse Body] with all his might at this moment, using the calamity flame to condense a black spear,

I'm afraid a single shot would shatter Luo Yuanbai's "Azure Scale Armor" and pierce through his body!

Jiang Heng stood up, looking at the three empty bottles on the table with a hint of lingering interest.

"It's a pity there aren't enough..."

If he were to take three more doses of this medicine, it would be enough to support him in breaking through to the mid-stage of level six in one go...

He looked away, thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Zhao De'an.

[Jiang Heng: Zhao Ying, last night I found the Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid of the Thousand Gu Alliance on Luo Yuanbai.]

[Jiang Heng: But I discovered that this medicine contains a type of poison that can lurk in the user's acupoints. Once ingested, it's as if their life is controlled by it.]

The message came quickly from the other side.

[Zhao Ying: Okay, I understand.]

[Zhao Ying: ...You haven't already taken it, have you?]

Jiang Heng replied immediately.

[Jiang Heng: I'm fine here, don't worry.]

He told the Martial Safety Bureau about this for two reasons, firstly, to prevent the Bureau's martial artists from accidentally taking such medicine.

On the other hand,

If this news reaches the Thousand Poisons Alliance, it could disrupt their morale and change the course of the battle.

As a result, no one dared to take the Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid anymore.

It will be much easier for Jiang Heng to obtain the Thousand Spirit Gu Liquid in the future...

Zhao De'an on the other end remained silent for a moment before sending a reply.

[Zhao Ying: Okay, I will report this to Battalion Commander Du.]

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, put away his phone, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Afterwards, we went to the research institute's cafeteria for lunch.

With his current energy reserves and consumption, he can go without food for ten days to half a month.

A single meal can also digest and absorb a large amount of energy.

……

As time goes by, the power supply system in Nanjiang City is being repaired.

The border defenses have begun to rebuild their defenses outside the border through other means, and it should be possible to restore them to their original state in just a few days.

But at this moment, no one knows that during the power outage in Nanjiang City last night.

A team from the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang has quietly infiltrated the vast, desolate mountains thousands of kilometers along the Nanjiang border.

……

Inside a valley shaped like an eagle's beak.

Chayapon Wenda, the first in line to inherit the Wenda family of Zhangyun Cave and the grandson of the cave lord Wuyin Wenda, is sitting on a rock at this moment.

Behind him stood several guardians of Zhangyundong dressed in black robes.

Chayapeng is twenty-two years old this year, but he has already entered the mid-stage of the sixth level, making him the undisputed number one among his peers in the Wenda family.

Of course, being able to reach such a level at such a young age is also related to the highly effective and mysterious Gu liquids found in the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang.

At this moment, Jayapong had been waiting in the valley all night.

A hint of impatience finally appeared on his face.

His gaze shifted to an elderly man in gray robes not far away.

The old man in gray was carrying instruments and leading several subordinates, constantly wandering around the valley.

Cha Yapeng spoke slowly, his voice icy: "Lin Zhennan, have you found him or not?"

The old man quickly turned around, revealing a wrinkled, aged face.

This person is none other than Lin Zhennan, the leader of the Hongmen Sect who left Nanjiang City early and escaped the destruction of the Hongmen Sect!

A few beads of sweat appeared on Lin Zhennan's forehead. He cupped his hands and said, "It should be nearby. Please be patient, young master."

Chayapon stared at him coldly:

"You need to understand how much our Zhangyundong paid for this exploration mission."

"If you gain nothing, you should know the consequences!"

Lin Zhennan's face was pale, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes..."

He then hurriedly continued searching the valley with the equipment and a few subordinates.

Actually,

The reason why Zhangyundong ordered Luo Yuanbai to destroy the power supply system of Nanjiang City was not to invade Nanjiang City.

Rather, it was to create an opportunity for Jayapong to infiltrate the Nanjiang border!

As for the origin of all this, it all started with Lin Zhennan.

months ago.

Lin Zhennan left Nanjiang City alone and came to the Thai-Myanmar Administrative Region.

It wasn't because the crisis of Hongmen's destruction was discovered in advance.

Rather, it was because the Hongmen finally found a faint, special energy fluctuation in a desolate mountain on the border of Nanjiang.

This unique energy fluctuation at this frequency has been sought for many years in the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang; it is very likely...

Chayapon sat on the rock, his eyes gleaming slightly, his face revealing a deep greed and longing.

"The remains of a Divine Realm expert from the Celestial Crimson Moon Clan..."
