185: Chapter 185 Mysterious Water Enhances Vitality

It wasn't surprising that Chen Yichuan was so excited; this wave of strengthening after activating internal force was truly timely and incredible.

Just imagine.

The Flowing Cloud Sword Qi jumped from only being able to execute 4 or 5 strikes to over 20; how terrifying was that?

Not to mention the 20% base attribute bonus provided by the Entry Level Internal Cultivation Method.

Now, Chen Yichuan lacked nothing.

"I'm only 25 attribute points away from breaking through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist... No, I still have two pills that increase spirit in my hand, that's 10 points of spirit."

"Only 15 points left. I wonder if the current me... can go head-to-head with a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist." Chen Yichuan rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of hope.

He had only one thought in his mind—to increase his strength.

Within two days, he would have the Profound Water Heavy Art break through to Minor Achievement.

In just a short while.

Ma Sanhuang quickly prepared a table of rich food. Chen Yichuan grabbed it and ate without any nonsense, rested after eating, and then it was a frantic 48 hours.

After 48 hours, the side effects of the mingxin pill would kick in, just in time for a beautiful 12-hour sleep.

A perfect "one-stop" service.

Watching Chen Yichuan devour the food like a whirlwind, Ma Sanhuang wanted to say something.

The next second, Chen Yichuan raised his hand and said, "Ma San, no matter what happens outside, wait for three days. Three days. Talk to me after three days."

"Mhm."

Hearing this, Ma Sanhuang swallowed the words he wanted to say and could only nod helplessly.

After eating, Chen Yichuan rested where he was and instructed Ma Sanhuang not to disturb him.

...

In the afternoon, the Meeting Hall of the Qingshan Martial Arts Hall.

Bang!

After hearing Ma Sanhuang's report, Fang Qing froze for a moment, then slapped the table with his palm.

"What?"

"Wait another three days? What is Brother Chen doing? He's clearly awake, but he's not willing to see me, Head Escort Qian, or Zhang Fan?"

"This time, we came with full sincerity..." Fang Qing shouted with an excited face.

This action.

Immediately left Ma Sanhuang bewildered, so he could only say through gritted teeth, "Great heroes, what I wanted to say... Lord Yichuan said it beforehand."

"Apologies!!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Fang Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph, I knew it was you who didn't say it. Otherwise... if Brother Chen heard my name, he would definitely run out from his secluded cultivation."

"We have a life-and-death friendship!"

Fang Qing looked arrogant, standing at a 45-degree angle, appearing so elegant and handsome.

Seeing this scene.

Head Escort Qian, who had been sitting and drinking tea, finally couldn't hold back.

"Fang Qing, you kid really love to flatter yourself."

"And... Yichuan running out to see you? What kind of beautiful dream are you having? It's fine to say that when Brother Yichuan isn't here, but don't deceive yourself."

Hehe.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Even Ma Sanhuang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Get lost!" Fang Qing's pretty face turned slightly red as he shouted with a hint of lacking confidence.

"Yes, yes. Please enjoy yourselves, great heroes... As soon as Lord Yichuan finishes his cultivation, I will report it immediately." Ma Sanhuang held back his laughter and walked away quickly.

Until there were no outsiders left in the Meeting Hall.

Zhang Fan, who had remained silent and taciturn, finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Qingzi, Brother Qian, stop bickering."

"When we entered the Qingshan Martial Arts Hall, I saw quite a few Beggar Sect scouts... Let's take care of them in passing; consider it a meeting gift for Chen Yichuan three days from now."

Zhang Fan said indifferently.

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the two of them nod repeatedly.

"Let's go, let's get them!"

The two didn't waste any words, grabbed their weapons, and walked straight out.

...

After a good rest, having replenished his spirit, Chen Yichuan once again came to the pool under the rockery.

He took two porcelain bottles from his bosom.

mingxin pill—increases spirit by 5 points, power by 5 points, and quadruples martial arts efficiency.

xiao huan pill—increases spirit by 5 points and increases the efficiency of cultivating the Internal Cultivation Method.

Looking at these two pills, although he didn't know exactly how much efficiency the xiao huan pill would add, he just had to do it.

"Let's do it!"

He picked up the two pills; they melted in his mouth, and a mysterious, clear-headed state of comprehension emerged in Chen Yichuan.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in his ears.

'Ding.'

'System Notification: Consumed xiao huan pill and mingxin pill. spirit increased by 10 points, power increased by 5 points. Unique talent "Involution" activated!'

Hearing this voice.

Chen Yichuan glanced at the panel; his spirit attribute was the highest—286 points.

"286?"

"I wonder if the other three attributes can reach 289." Chen Yichuan muttered to himself.

Immediately after.

With a splash.

He dove into the pool, sat at the bottom, and began to circulate the Profound Water Heavy Art.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~

With the enhancement of these two pills, his qi circulation speed was extremely fast, and even small whirlpools appeared around him—a reaction to the rapid circulation of internal force.

Two minutes later.

Chen Yichuan opened his eyes, feeling a surge of joy.

'One Grand Cycle every 2 minutes, the speed is quite good... The xiao huan pill should provide double efficiency for cultivating cultivation methods.' Chen Yichuan guessed secretly.

mingxin pill has 4x efficiency, plus the xiao huan pill's efficiency, it should only be 5x efficiency.

Previously, it took 10 minutes for one Grand Cycle. Under the stimulation of the two pills, it was shortened to 2 minutes... which is exactly five times the cultivation efficiency.

Obviously... the efficiency added by the xiao huan pill is not multiplied on top of the mingxin pill, but additive. (The inherent triple efficiency is already included, and the previous cultivation efficiency already accounted for his innate talent.)

Having figured this out, Chen Yichuan continued to circulate the cultivation method vigorously.

'Five times is fine. One Grand Cycle every 2 minutes, 15 Grand Cycles for 1 point of experience. One experience point every half hour is also acceptable.'

'Not to mention that as he becomes more proficient in circulating the method, the time for one Grand Cycle might even be shortened further.' Chen Yichuan thought to himself.

For the next 48 hours, Chen Yichuan circulated the cultivation method without rest.

The time for one Grand Cycle slowly decreased. Of course, he had to come up for air occasionally; he hadn't become so incredible that he turned into a fish.

...

Cultivation time is always dry and tedious.

Time flew by, and 48 hours were almost up... only 15 minutes of the medicinal effect remained.

Bang!!

Just then, a water column half a meter wide rose from beneath the pool without warning, soaring into the sky.

Along with the water column, a drenched figure appeared, followed by bursts of unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"I did it! This young master did it!"

"The Profound Water Heavy Art has broken through to Minor Achievement!" Chen Yichuan landed on the shore, laughing wildly.

Nearly two days of cultivation had finally not been in vain.

'Ding.'

'System Notification: Profound Water Heavy Art promoted from Entry Level to Minor Achievement. Reward: 1 point of constitution. Activating the cultivation method temporarily increases power by 20 points and constitution by 20 points. All base attributes increased by 30%.'

'Profound Water Heavy Art's inherent internal force characteristic activated—Xuanshui Vitality Enhancement!'

'Xuanshui Vitality Enhancement—Any martial art amplified by the internal force of the Profound Water Heavy Art receives a 10% damage bonus.'

'Next realm: skillful. Effect: Base attributes increased by 40%, temporary increase of 30 power points and 30 constitution points.'
