Windfall from the Sky!
Chen Wang was incredibly strong. After all, he was a Tier 2 Gene Soldier, with formidable physical conditioning. Beneath his loose outer robe were eight-pack abs and a double-door build, his muscles brimming with explosive force. They were not overly large, but exceptionally solid, like steel. He effortlessly shifted the bed aside and found that one of the Blue Bricks on the floor was indeed slightly raised, clearly different from those around it, as though it had been pried open before.
He moved the Blue Brick away and found a bundle underneath. Chen Wang took it out, but did not open it at once. Instead, he retreated several steps and drew a sharp little knife three inches long from his person.
The knife gleamed with a cold light. When he had nothing to do, Chen Wang used it for carving as well, training the steadiness of his hands. He was a Talisman Master skilled at drawing talismans, and his fine control over power surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Thus, he had gained some insight into the Object Manipulation Technique.
Especially now that he was a Mind Adept, able to control the knife with telekinesis, it obeyed his will as readily as an arm or finger. With a smooth little combo, he sliced open the bundle, then flicked it apart to reveal a bottle of pills and a booklet inside. "Fuck, no way!"
Chen Wang could not help cursing. Forming a hand seal, he sent a streak of starlight lightly brushing over it. It was a minor spell for detecting poison. Its rank was not high, but it was exceedingly practical. The spell gave no response.
By Chen Wang's judgment, the bundle was probably not poisoned. Still, it was better to be safe than sorry.
It was an exquisite little porcelain bottle. When Chen Wang pulled out the stopper with a pop, a rich medicinal fragrance spilled out. Before he could inspect it closely, he hurriedly put the bottle away and stoppered it again. Then he turned his gaze to the booklet. Its pages had yellowed with age, but it had been preserved exceptionally well. Several large characters were written on its cover: Jade Spring Hidden Landscape Skill!
Chen Wang opened the booklet and skimmed through it. His breathing immediately grew rapid. "Fuck, was that young man the one who obtained treasure in Green Crane True Immortal's Tomb?"
"The treasures in that tomb were real?"
Chen Wang was somewhat astonished.
What it recorded was precisely the techniques for Foundation Establishment, along with a complete Foundation Establishment Skill! "I've struck it rich!"
Chen Wang was somewhat excited, but quickly calmed himself down. He had to remain calm! Could such a stroke of fortune really fall into my lap?
On second thought, Chen Wang suddenly understood. He had not been in his room yesterday. The young man had been carrying a Foundation Establishment Skill and Foundation Establishment Pills while being hunted, so he had hidden them in Chen Wang's room.
But his injuries were severe, and it was inevitable that he might be discovered. At such a time, the safest place to hide treasure was beneath the bed! Whether he killed Chen Wang, held him hostage, or was discovered and fled—
As long as he did not die, he could return here and calmly retrieve the bundle hidden beneath the bed.
"You brought this right to my doorstep."
Chen Wang sneered.
He then wrapped up the Foundation Establishment Pills and the Foundation Establishment Skill and put them away. He was not truly some clear-eyed, naive young cultivator. On the contrary, he had plenty of nerve. Since such an opportunity had delivered itself to his door, he naturally would not refuse it. Still, leaving the bundle here was a problem. The young man would sooner or later return for it.
"If he dies outside, then all is well. But if he comes back, I might not be sure of defeating him."
Chen Wang frowned.
"Green Crane True Immortal's tomb actually contained a Foundation Establishment Skill and Foundation Establishment Pills."
Chen Wang sighed, deciding that after calming down a little, he would first head to the Great Winter World. "At worst, I won't come back for a month. I refuse to believe that, with injuries that severe, you can still escape those people hunting you."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
He truly had no idea who exactly was pursuing that young man.
"And what exactly is going on with Feng Lin?"
"She never seemed so interested in men before. Could she have been possessed?"
Chen Wang frowned.
He peered outside through the crack in the door. His eyesight was excellent, and he took in the situation outside at a glance. The place where he lived was rather remote; otherwise, that young man would not have chosen his house.
After discovering that no one was paying attention, he took the bundle, pushed open the Bronze Gate in his mind, and arrived in the Great Winter World.
Winter Wasteland World,
Chen Wang sat in his apartment, looking at the bundle in his hands.
Inside were a genuine Foundation Establishment Skill and a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills!
Suppressing his joy, he opened the bottle of pills.
With a pop, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. It was not pungent, carrying instead the fresh scent of grass and wood.
Just one breath of it brought joy to both body and mind, making his whole body feel light and airy as all fatigue vanished.
"Good stuff!"
Chen Wang's eyes lit up. He could sense the surging medicinal power and spiritual energy contained within the pills.
Although he was only a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, still five minor realms away from breaking through to Foundation Establishment, such a treasure would be excellent whether traded for resources or saved for his own use.
"Foundation Establishment Pills are in desperately short supply in the cultivation world. This is practically a windfall."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
After steadying his emotions, he decided to inject the Third Order Genetic Potion first—the Hell Commando. "Reaching Tier 3 Gene Warrior and improving my own abilities comes first. Otherwise, these treasures will become the source of my death."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
He had Clear Spirit Pills, which could detoxify and heal injuries. That was what gave Chen Wang the confidence to inject the third-order potion immediately.
After injecting the blue potion, Chen Wang instantly felt a force explode within his body with a boom.
His entire body became incomparably scorching hot.
This force was extraordinarily tyrannical, far more violent than the spiritual power he cultivated. It rampaged madly through his body, yet did not follow the pathways of his Meridians. His internal organs, every muscle, tendon, and bone in his body were all being transformed by this force. But the process was also agonizing beyond measure!
Chen Wang crashed to the floor. The muscles all over his body trembled incessantly as they bore immense pain. Sweat instantly soaked through his clothes. His fists clenched tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh, yet at this moment he could no longer feel any pain.
Because that powerful force inside him was wreaking havoc! When it finally ended half an hour later, Chen Wang looked as though he had been pulled from the water. Having endured the initial agony, his physical body began to grow stronger, though the process remained extremely painful. He discovered that his internal organs had become vibrant with life, containing powerful strength.
But his body had suffered serious damage in every respect. "As expected of a third-order potion."
Chen Wang sighed. An indescribable soreness filled his body; it had placed an enormous burden on him.
Without hesitation, he swallowed a Clear Spirit Pill.
A gentle medicinal power flowed through every limb and bone. Chen Wang felt indescribably comfortable.
The dreadful aftereffects within his body were being rapidly repaired.
Only after everything was over did Chen Wang slowly rise to his feet.
With a light punch, he produced a sharp whistle of air being torn apart.
He felt terrifying power filling his body.
