The Innate Thunder Body

Wang Dapang left as soon as he finished speaking. He had no liking whatsoever for Teng Xiong's family either. They were all a pack of bloodsuckers, sucking the blood of the poor to nourish themselves.

Whether Teng Lin's disappearance had anything to do with Chen Fusheng? Who knew? Even if Chen Fusheng wanted to tell him, he did not want to listen. What the hell does it have to do with me?

Becoming a Star Master of the Other Shore and the head chef of the Inner Courtyard was Wang Dapang's life goal. Of course, if he could become the imperial chef, he would be set for life.

Watching the enormous fleshy mountain recede into the distance, Chen Fusheng fell briefly silent before entering the house.

"Hm?"

Chen Fusheng suddenly noticed a problem: Lei San was still eating heartily!

That made him realize something was wrong. Wang Dapang and the others could not eat any more, so how could Third Brother still be eating?

Moreover, Lei San's skeletal frame had originally been different from ordinary people's. Now, some kind of mutation had occurred.

Lei San himself had not noticed that, with every breath, a muffled-thunder sound rumbled in his chest. It was highly intimidating!

Chen Fusheng was shaken. He placed a palm on Lei San's shoulder. The muscles were hard, the skin bulging like cowhide, and he vaguely sensed some kind of violent factor.

"Is Third Brother a person with a special constitution? Did the medicinal power of the spirit fish open the treasure within his flesh and blood?"

Chen Fusheng thought of something, and an impulse surged within him to teach him the Furnace Contemplation Method.

"I can't eat another bite!" Lei San suddenly felt an overwhelming drowsiness. He collapsed onto the table, snoring like rolling thunder.

"The Innate Thunder Body!"

Huang Tiancheng sighed inwardly. Given Lei San's constitution, his future achievements would be extraordinary. Unfortunately, his mental power had not yet awakened. How could he nourish his physical body with energy?

Rely on food supplements? That required endless resources for support. Only those who inherited an ancient lineage would be qualified to cultivate him, yet it was often a case of losing more than one gained.

Of course, once Lei San awoke from his slumber, the power of his constitution would soar in a straight line, making him no weaker than an ordinary Star Master.

"Grandpa, I'm going out to cultivate." Chen Fusheng had eaten a full eight pounds of fish meat.

As he watched the shadow rush toward the rear mountain, a large patch of chill seeped from Huang Tiancheng's pores, and a layer of frost formed over his body.

He stood and moved his stiff limbs. The frost covering him fell off in a rustle, and the indescribable pain within his body eased somewhat.

Next, he took a large sea bowl from the cabinet, poured the remaining twenty pounds of fish meat into it, sealed it with kraft paper, and placed it inside a hidden storage compartment.

Then Old Huang put the fish treasure and medicinal herbs into the pot. He turned around and moved the kitchen water vat aside, revealing the deep entrance to an ancient cave.

It had clearly been excavated by human hands. The bottom of the ancient cave was a fiery red, and the scorching temperature was unbearably harsh. Relying on the chill within his body to support him, Huang Tiancheng walked to the deepest part.

"If it weren't for the support of the Underground Fire Vein, I probably would have been on my way to the grave years ago."

A fire vein could be called an underground spirit vein. It was as precious as life itself to alchemists and smiths, mainly because it could draw out Earth Vein Fire to refine medicines and forge weapons.

Earth Vein Fire contained the essence of the earth and the primordial essence of the sun. How could any spirit vein take shape without tens of thousands of years of sedimentation? Fire veins, in particular, were even rarer.

Huang Tiancheng placed the Spirit Cauldron at the mouth of the fire vein, preparing to simmer out the essence of the fish treasure to nourish Chen Fusheng's body.

"Crash!" "Whoosh!"

The rear mountain.

Chen Fusheng was like a gale sweeping across the land. With one great stride, he passed through, and the air hummed as though it were about to be torn apart!

Such explosive power was terrifying. Any ordinary person here would have been ripped apart by the ripples in the air!

Wind sprang beneath his feet. Fierce as a tiger, his speed continued to surge, repeatedly breaking through its limits.

Then he leaped into the air, like a spirit serpent demon beast crouching against the ground, and shot through the old forest. The winds he stirred up billowed around him, and his waist could easily twist a tree in half!

There was no helping it—his vitality was simply too vigorous. The Evil Tiger Diagram and Spirit Snake Diagram unfolded one after another, combining hardness and softness, with a feeling of water and fire merging together. His physical body continued to burst forth with mighty strength.

His skin, bones, and tendons underwent astonishing changes!

He even constantly felt as if his fists had become iron hammers. Clearly, his tendons, bones, and fetal membrane had grown tougher under the nourishment of the medicinal power.

His fists began to itch, so he hammered a stone wildly.

Bang, bang, bang...

Still feeling unsatisfied, he beat his chest with both fists. His heart thudded violently, the circulation of vitality throughout his body accelerated, and his qi and blood boiled endlessly, surging out through his body.

"It feels as if my Life Essence Blood is boiling and surging like the tide. Later, I need to study some books on special constitutions and see what category I currently fall into."

He trained from daytime until nightfall. He did not hurry to cultivate the other carved diagrams, instead operating the power of the three great diagrams until it was utterly refined.

Tiger, snake, and ape!

Sometimes hard, sometimes soft, with vitality flowing without end—he had truly grasped the way the physical body changed.

Chen Fusheng suddenly struck an uncanny pose, like an Immortal Crane soaring into the sky, stretching out its arms and body.

"Train until your form resembles a crane's. I haven't even bitterly trained, yet I mastered it so easily. This proves that my physical body has now reached an extreme level of strength!"

"Of course, the one hundred and eight posture diagrams contain the paths of all kinds of strange beasts."

"The Ancient Prodigy observed the forms of five hundred strange beasts before creating the Furnace Contemplation Method. Such a great man truly possessed world-shaking talent!"

As Chen Fusheng felt something in his heart, his movements became as swift as a ghost. His shoulder blades trembled like wings, and he danced as gracefully as an Immortal Crane.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. This is the Immortal Crane Dancing Diagram. The key lies in my feet and arms. I never expected to master it so easily."

Chen Fusheng took one step, his figure drifting unpredictably. Had there been an ordinary person here, they would have seen the shadow a hundred yards away vanish and reappear before them.

The Evil Tiger Diagram, Spirit Snake Diagram, Explosive Ape Diagram, and Immortal Crane Diagram.

The four great carved diagrams transformed one after another, giving him the feeling of returning to the mountains and forests to become a strange beast.

"It snowed. This is probably the last snowfall before spring begins."

"Teng Lin has been missing for ten days, hasn't he? The longer he remains missing, the heavier Teng Xiong's suspicion of me will become."

"This hidden danger must be resolved. How should I get rid of him?"

Amid the boundless wind and snow, Chen Fusheng's gaze grew much colder.

Yesterday, he had nearly encountered a fatal disaster. Even though he had dodged it, waves of lingering fear still gripped his heart.

If it happened again, he would probably be the one lying dead.

Yet with his current cultivation, he had little hope of defeating Teng Xiong. He would need to grow several times stronger on his current foundation before he could fight him!

By the time he waited until dawn to descend the mountain, the Outer Sect Disciples who saw him along the way all wore strange expressions.

Fifty pounds of top-grade game had spread throughout the East Courtyard, causing quite a stir. It was said that even the Inner Courtyard was discussing it.

Chen Fusheng seemed to be emerging from obscurity, but in the Outer Sect, Teng Xiong and the others were thick as thieves. If he offended them, could he still expect good days ahead?

Chen Fusheng paid no attention to their discussions. He had no friends in the Outer Sect anyway.

He had even begun thinking of taking his grandfather and leaving this place. When the time came, they could find any old-growth forest deep in the mountains and forget about whatever taboos and disasters awaited them!

He simply could not bear to leave the Ten Thousand Li Black River, where treasures were scattered everywhere.

The main issue was that Tian Yuan Star Observation Manor had absolute control over the Black River, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to come and fish.

"Stay hidden and conserve strength, waiting for the right moment!"

Whatever Teng Xiong was, he could not compare with the disaster brought by the Contemplation Method.

When Chen Fusheng returned home, he saw that the pallor of Huang Tiancheng's face had eased somewhat. This delighted him. "Grandpa, can your injuries be healed now?"

Hearing this, Huang Tiancheng smiled. "The cold illness has dragged on for so long. It cannot be healed in a single day. Of course, in my current condition, living a few more years will not be a problem."

Chen Fusheng was elated. He would wait until he became stronger, earn more wealth, and activate the Flood Dragon Diagram. How many spirit fish could the Ten Thousand Li Black River possibly lack?

Perhaps one day he might even obtain a genuine Silver Moon Fish King!

Seeing his wish about to come true, Chen Fusheng grew more and more excited. Then he suddenly became wary. He needed to find a way to get a storage bag.

"Fusheng, come drink it while it's hot."

The old man brought a porcelain bowl from the inner room. It contained half a bowl of yellow medicinal liquid, which looked sticky and thick.

Chen Fusheng stared at it curiously. "Is this fish soup? Grandpa, you should drink it instead."

"There are still twenty-some pounds of fish meat left. Hurry and drink it."

Chen Fusheng thought that made sense, then lifted the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

At first, he could not taste anything. But he soon sensed that something was wrong. A blazing fire was burning within his abdomen!

"How can this medicinal power be even more ferocious than the top-grade fish meat?"

Chen Fusheng's expression changed at once. Like someone with fire at his backside, he rushed out the door. There was no room to move around in the courtyard.

"The fish treasure can still be simmered into more than a dozen bowls of medicinal liquid. It will be tremendously significant for Fusheng while he lays his foundation!"

Huang Tiancheng smiled as he watched the young man disappear into the distance. Building a physical foundation was fraught with hardship and required an enormous investment of effort and money.

With the fish treasure, it was not merely his foundation. His Physical Roots, life origin, Root Bone potential, and more could all be tempered!

In truth, the moment Chen Fusheng dashed out the door, his body really seemed ready to catch fire. He looked even more like a fireball rolling up the mountain.

"That little bastard is moving rather quickly. What opportunity did he run into?"

"My son has been missing for ten days, yet he is living it up!"

In the distance, Teng Xiong watched everything with a sinister gaze. But when he thought of Mu Zhen, a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.

At that moment, Teng Xiong silently leaped onto the dilapidated courtyard.

He observed coldly. Had the fifty pounds of top-grade game already been eaten?

Teng Xiong was furious. Chen Fusheng was ignorant, but did Wang Lie not know to send over several dozen pounds as an offering of filial respect?

"Looks like they don't have me in their eyes. Who taught them these bad habits? It's not as if someone can't tamper with the Star Palace cultivation chamber." "Another chapter!"
