After taking that Old Mountain Ginseng, Lin Changqing headed straight for the peak of Great Green Mountain. He planned to refine the ginseng over the next couple of days.
He wanted to complete his organ refinement as soon as possible.
Meanwhile!
Outside Green Mountain Village, Wei Yunshang rode back toward Fengle County Town, accompanied by a group of guards.
The maid Yun Zhu followed beside her, brows tightly furrowed as she asked in confusion, "Miss.
"That Lin Changqing is so ungrateful and doesn't know his place. He accepted your gift, Miss, yet he refused to work for you. He's truly detestable..."
"Giggle, giggle..."
Wei Yunshang let out a light laugh. "Yun Zhu, you mean to ask why I gave that Old Mountain Ginseng to Lin Changqing for nothing, don't you? Don't you find this man interesting?"
"What's interesting about him? He's just an ungrateful wretch! Miss... that was five-hundred-year-old Old Mountain Ginseng, worth at least a thousand gold!"
Yun Zhu pouted. "You just gave it away like that. Was it worth it?"
"Of course it was."
A sharp gleam seemed to flash through Wei Yunshang's eyes as she said in a low voice, "Yun Zhu, don't underestimate him. This fellow is far from simple. More importantly, he has a grudge against that bastard Wei Zhengming. When he mentioned Wei Zhengming, I saw a trace of killing intent in his eyes. Their enmity clearly runs deep. To me, that is good news. Consider that Old Mountain Ginseng an investment in him. If it helps him increase his strength and lets him kill that bastard Wei Zhengming someday... hmph, the return will be enormous..."
The moment Wei Yunshang said this, everyone around her immediately fell silent. Even Yun Zhu lowered her head without another word.
After all, the bastard Wei Zhengming Wei Yunshang spoke of was her elder brother—the Wei Family's Eldest Young Master! Wei Yunshang could speak of him as she pleased, but they could not.
If word of this reached the ears of other Wei Family members, even if they did not die, they would be flayed alive.
Night fell.
The sun sank in the west, and evening clouds blanketed the earth, dyeing the horizon a blazing red. Great Green Mountain was draped in a faint golden glow.
Lin Changqing took out the five-hundred-year-old Old Mountain Ginseng and sat cross-legged at the edge of a cliff atop the mountain peak.
After giving it some thought, he swallowed the entire ginseng in one gulp.
Had any other Martial Cultivators witnessed this, they would have been terrified. How potent was the medicinal effect of five-hundred-year-old Old Mountain Ginseng?
Ordinary Martial Artists would at most take a few roots at a time, or perhaps cut off a small slice to hold in their mouths.
But Lin Changqing had swallowed the entire thing.
Wasn't he afraid the ginseng's medicinal power would burst him to death?
Boom!
Not long after the ginseng entered his body, its immense medicinal power erupted like a mountain flood and sea tsunami, crashing wildly through Lin Changqing's body.
"Fuck!"
The excruciating pain made Lin Changqing bare his teeth, his entire face twisting with agony.
He immediately sprang to his feet and began to punch.
The five-hundred-year-old Old Mountain Ginseng was simply too potent, somewhat beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, his physical body was powerful, and he had already attained Copper Skin and Iron Bones.
He could barely withstand the impact of the medicinal power.
Boom! Crack!
Every stance and movement of the Five Elements Technique contained tremendous might. Lin Changqing's fists moved, now like a tiger, now like a bear.
His fist momentum was astonishing, even producing bursts of air-rending sound.
Descending Mountain Tiger, Star Plucking Monkey, Mountain Embracing Bear, Forest Piercing Deer, Heaven Soaring Crane...
Every move, every fist and palm, contained a profound, mysterious charm.
At once.
Lin Changqing's consciousness gradually emptied, as though he had entered an ethereal state. His Spiritual Power turned inward upon his body, observing the entire world within him on a microscopic level.
He could clearly feel that as he continued punching, the Old Mountain Ginseng's medicinal power seeped bit by bit into every inch of his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones.
At last, it merged into his internal organs.
Not only that, within that profound, ethereal state, Lin Changqing felt that he had gained a new understanding of the Five Elements Technique.
With every punch and stance, a certain momentum gradually emerged.
When practicing Tiger Fist, his whole body seemed to transform into a ferocious tiger—a tiger descending the mountain, roaring through the Mountain Forest.
When practicing Bear Fist, he seemed to become a black bear instead, feet planted upon the earth, his entire body radiating a sense of weight and solidity.
This was an epiphany.
A state of artistic conception both profound and mysterious.
If a martial arts master had been present and seen Lin Changqing, a mere Body Seventh Rank Martial Artist, enter a state of epiphany, they would likely have been green with envy.
An epiphany was the greatest opportunity for a cultivator.
It could be encountered, but never sought.
Generally speaking, an ordinary Martial Artist might not experience even a single epiphany in an entire lifetime.
Yet every epiphany inevitably brought tremendous gains, enough to send one's strength soaring.
The reason Lin Changqing had entered this state of epiphany was not only because the time and place were right today. The most important factor was his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, far beyond that of ordinary people.
It was precisely because of this Heaven-Defying Comprehension that Lin Changqing's epiphany far surpassed those of ordinary Martial Artists.
Its effects would be even greater.
Atop the cliff, Lin Changqing practiced his fists in complete absorption, his entire being immersed in that ethereal state.
As he performed the Five Elements Technique over and over, it gradually acquired a different flavor. Between each move and stance, that momentum became ever clearer, ever stronger.
It was like a silkworm cocoon, on the verge of breaking open.
This momentum was no longer confined to any single animal, but had transcended that boundary.
The momentum of different animals gradually merged and transformed.

It transformed into a Heaven-Earth Momentum, a Five Elements Momentum.
BOOM!
The Night Wind howled, and the river of stars shone brilliantly.
No one knew how much time had passed. It seemed like an hour, yet also like an entire day and night.
Then suddenly, as Lin Changqing completed another round of the Five Elements Technique, a sound like Morning Bell and Evening Drum erupted from within his body.
The medicinal power of the Old Mountain Ginseng within him seemed to be pressed down by an invisible pressure.
At a terrifying speed, it merged into every inch of his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones.
Then came his Internal Organs.
At once, he could clearly see his Internal Organs transforming at an unprecedented speed.
His five viscera, originally no different from ordinary flesh and blood, now gave off streak after streak of light.
Then, they gradually began to turn jade-like.
In less than half an hour, all five of Lin Changqing's viscera had become jade-like, crystal-clear, like white jade and crystal.
"Copper Skin, Iron Bones, Jade Organs—the Seventh Rank Organ Refining Limit!"
At that moment, Lin Changqing suddenly opened his eyes. Two radiant gleams burst from his pupils as he exhaled a breath of Turbid Air, a broad smile spreading across his face.
His right hand shot out in a punch.
BOOM!
Though it was an ordinary punch, it seemed to invoke the might of heaven and earth itself, an invisible, crushing force descending from above.
Faintly, the roars of different beasts echoed through the Mountain Forest.
Even the sky seemed to shatter along with it.
The surrounding rocks, Plants and Trees exploded apart at that very instant.
This was Fist Momentum.
Five Elements Fist Momentum!
Compared to Jade Organs, this was Lin Changqing's greatest gain tonight—a Great Opportunity so immense it defied the heavens.
