Chapter 128
"Ahh… . This feels better… . "
After a long time had passed within the stone cave, Fang Xing opened his eyes and stretched . From his arms and shoulders down along his entire body, the movement caused all of his bones to crack like an uncountable number of firecrackers . It was as though numerous locks on his body had been unfastened, and all of his pores opened up to draw in streams of Qi with a euphoric sensation .
He then felt his cultivation level and was immediately overjoyed .
"Spirit Stage tier six… . Mid-tier or high-tier?" With a quick sense, Fang Xing released a loud laugh . Not even he had imagined that after a single night, his cultivation level would increase by two tiers . From the peak of tier four to mid-tier six, and even then he was only a single step away from high-tier .
This had happened because the Purple Mist Orchid’s medicinal powers were extremely powerful . Just how strong was it? A tenth of the Golden Core Stage beast king’s cultivation had been contained within the herb . If it had been consumed without any waste, it would have likely been possible to bring more than ten cultivators up to the ninth tier . However, Fang Xing had refined every single strand of Qi a total of nine times each before finally storing it within his body . Despite this, the total amount was still very abundant and it had allowed him to advance two tiers .
It was only now that Fang Xing noticed the stone walls surrounding him had all turned glassy . As it so happened, while he had been digesting the Purple Mist Orchid, his body acted like an oven that melted the surface of the cave walls which soon cooled .
Fang Xing rose up with a hop and nearly hit his head . He finally realized that now that he’d increased two tiers, not only had his strength and speed increased manyfold, it had also temporarily become difficult to control his body . When he lowered his head, he found that his body was completely bare . All of his remaining clothes had been burned off in the process, and so he covered his crotch as he walked out .
Once he arrived at the cave’s entrance, he found a white-dressed woman sitting atop a moss-covered rock with her eyes lightly closed in meditation . The early morning’s sunlight lay gently upon her face, making her skin appear as though transparent, while her long lashes projected a beautiful shadow against her soft cheeks . Not far from her, a white crane was enjoying a bath beneath the waterfall, with its neck arched outward, and the setting caused Xu Linyun to appear even more dreamlike .
"Your wound has recovered?" Upon hearing the footsteps, Xu Linyun opened her eyes to look towards him, only for her expression to suddenly change . Her face turned bright red as she turned away and yelled, "What are you doing!" The moment she had looked his way, she’d seen a naked Fang Xing; if Fang Xing weren’t covering himself with his hands, she would have seen everything .
Fang Xing also felt aggrieved . "I activated the spell too quickly and it burned all my clothes . Shijie Linyun, where’s my storage ring and the storage sacks? Give them to me quickly, my clothes are all inside… . "
Xu Linyun wordlessly waved her hand, causing a storage ring and eight storage sacks to all fly in Fang Xing’s direction . Fang Xing opened his palm and accepted them, but instead of returning back to the cave, he instead ran towards the waterfall .
Xu Linyun still did not dare to open her eyes . "Why aren’t you getting changed inside?"
"Wait, I’m going to bathe first!" Fang Xing replied . There might not have been a lot of impurities, but there were still some . He wanted to wash before putting on clean clothes .
SPLASH
As Fang Xing jumped into the water, he made a huge splash that hit the white crane nearby . When he saw the white crane staring at him, he cursed, "Spying on me while I bathe, huh? Are you daring me to pluck all of your feathers?"
This left the white crane feeling wronged and it carefully turned its head away . It still remembered when Fang Xing had tortured it three years ago, and it was still scared of this little bandit even to this day .
"He’er, no need to be scared of him . Come over here!" Xu Linyun called out to her white crane, and it immediately went into hiding next to her .
Fang Xing smirked and dove into the water . After two rounds of swimming and bathing, he then began to pick out something from his storage sacks . He saw the spirit robe he had taken from Shen Hujun and—itching to try it out—he climbed onto shore and dried himself before placing the spirit robe onto his bare body .
At first, he was worried that the robe might be a bit too big for him, but as soon as he put it on, it immediately received a small amount of his Qi and began to change . The robe soon became smaller and thinner, actually turning into a perfect fit for his slender and shorter body .
"All done!" Fang Xing returned back to Xu Linyun with a laugh .
Xu Linyun finally opened her eyes and looked to him, her blush not yet faded . She was actually quite upset; this boy wasn’t playing his cards the usual way, to be running around butt-naked .
Fang Xing, on the other hand, didn’t notice Xu Linyun was upset whatsoever . He looked around and asked, "Where’s the rest of that bunch of turtle egg bastards?"
"You’ve already been inside for three days . They couldn’t wait that long for you, so they already left," Xu Linyun calmly replied .
"Three days?" This left Fang Xing dumbstruck . He thought he’d only used one day to digest the herb; he hadn’t expected it to have actually been three .
"Even those damn bastard from the Duanzhen Valley left . What happened to our brotherhood!" Fang Xing angrily cursed once he realized what had happened .
Xu Linyun released a sigh . "It’s not entirely their fault; I asked them to leave . They decided to go to the location of the seal first . Without the Duanzhen disciples there, many problems would crop up . Furthermore, entering Mount Desolation was also for the purpose of gaining resources . If they waited for you here, it would just be a waste of time; it’s better to just let them go with the others to hunt for more resources!"
Fang Xing responded with disdain, "What sort of resources can that bunch of blacksmiths hunt? They should be thankful if they’re not sold off!" He then turned to look at Xu Linyun . "Hehe, Shijie Linyun, you’ve been waiting for me this entire time? Thank you so very much!"
