122: Why hasn't my energy changed at all?

"It's working!"

Zheng Jinfeng's expression was utterly astonished, because she discovered that her Qi Cavity was undergoing a peculiar transformation, and her Qi Vortex was also more solid than usual. Most importantly—a foul odor began to emanate from her body.

"No, I need to take a shower first." Zheng Jinfeng said, then hurried into the house. She couldn't even stand the smell herself.

Soon after, Liu Ling'er also felt a sudden stench on her body: "Oh no, I'm stinky too. I'm going to take a shower as well."

Only Xiao Shen stood innocently in place: "But why don't I have any smell on me?"

He was completely baffled.

However, very quickly, changes also occurred in his body.

Xiao Shen's Qi Cavity was a top-grade Dragon Taming Palace, so the Qi Vortex he condensed were all dragons circling.

After drinking one-third of a bottle of train exclusive water, he noticed that the golden light on the circling dragons within his body became more solid, as if they were moving golden statues.

In addition to this, he also felt incredibly clear-headed, as if every rustle and stir nearby was within his grasp.

Although the perceptible distance wasn't that far, it was still much better than before.

Perhaps it was because he drank less water, so the effects he could feel weren't very significant, but Liu Ling'er and Zheng Jinfeng were different.

Without exception, both of their bodies developed black sludge, which they only managed to wash off with great difficulty.

"Finally, I feel comfortable." Liu Ling'er was drying her hair after getting dressed. "What exactly happened just now? So much mud suddenly appeared on my body; it was so uncomfortable."

Zheng Jinfeng also felt very uncomfortable, but now that it was washed off, she began to feel the miraculousness of the water.

"I think this water seems to have some effect. Carefully sense your Qi Cavity," she said.

Liu Ling'er then mobilized her vital energy, and just as she was about to check her internal Qi Cavity, she suddenly discovered: "How did my vital energy... become so solid? It's like the wind has been materialized!"

Martial artists cultivate by absorbing vital energy, and they also use vital energy in combat. Vital energy is the foundation of a martial artist.

And the Qi Cavity is even more fundamental than vital energy, because without an Qi Cavity, even if spiritual energy is absorbed, the vital energy within it cannot be extracted.

In addition, the power of vital energy is also related to its solidity. For example, Liu Ling'er, whose Qi Cavity is a low-grade Qi Cavity, the vital energy she can use, although very faint, is more solid than the vital energy used by ordinary Qi Cavitys like Zheng Jinfeng's.

Of course, compared to Xiao Shen's, it was simply like comparing a small witch to a great one.

Xiao Shen's vital energy was clearly visible every time he used it, as if the wind had a trajectory.

"You're all out now, how do you feel?"

Xiao Shen stood outside the house. After Liu Ling'er dried her hair, she walked out, and Xiao Shen asked her a question when he saw her.

"It feels pretty good. Look." Liu Ling'er directly demonstrated her changes with actions.

She raised her right hand, and vital energy appeared from her hand. Originally, its trajectory was almost invisible, only slightly transparent, but now some substance could actually be seen.

Although it was still very faint and thin, it was completely different from before.

"So amazing." Xiao Shen's eyes widened. "Why hasn't my vital energy changed much?"

Liu Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Your vital energy is already very solid, like silk. How else can it improve?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen instantly felt like he understood everything: "So that's it!"

"What?" Liu Ling'er asked, puzzled.

"At first, I didn't understand why both of you developed sludge on your bodies after drinking the water, but I didn't. Now I know, that's because your talents, or rather, your Qi Cavitys, underwent changes. But because my Qi Cavity was already a top-grade Qi Cavity, there was almost no change."

Xiao Shen analyzed it eloquently.

"What you're saying seems to make some sense." Liu Ling'er nodded, then suddenly laughed, "If that's really the case, you won't need to buy water for yourself anymore. Buy it for me and my sister-in-law."

Xiao Shen glared at her: "You're the smart one."

"Hehe." Liu Ling'er shook her head, then turned back and asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you feel now?"

"I do." Zheng Jinfeng nodded, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise. "I feel that my Qi Cavity has changed a lot, and my Qi Vortex has also improved. I now have endless strength all over my body. Come, let's spar and really feel the changes!"

For Zheng Jinfeng, having poor martial artist talent had always been the deepest hurdle in her heart. Before Chu Feiyue passed away, it was because of her poor talent that she decided to let Chu Feiyue have all the cultivation resources.

After Chu Feiyue's death, although she was eager for revenge, her talent was simply too low to improve significantly in a short time.

So she had always been anxious, immersed in her own world, unwilling to communicate with the outside.

She never expected that just by drinking one-third of a bottle of train exclusive water today, her martial artist talent would improve by a large margin!!

In the future, when she cultivated, she wouldn't have to work so hard.

"Ah? But we just finished showering. Are you sure we need to get all sweaty again?" Liu Ling'er was torn between laughter and tears.

Zheng Jinfeng was still Zheng Jinfeng, calling her to spar whenever she had a moment.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Go and try it. Your vital energy has also undergone a great change; you need to familiarize yourself with it quickly," Xiao Shen urged.

"Alright, alright, you two are ganging up to bully me, aren't you? Then I, then I..."

Liu Ling'er puffed out her cheeks, hands on her hips.

"Then what?" Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow.

"Then I... can only obey and do as I'm told." Liu Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled foolishly.

"Alright, go ahead," Xiao Shen said.

"Mhm."

... [Destination reached. Passengers, please disembark.]

Tong Changshan felt refreshed after absorbing the spiritual energy. He stood up and twisted his neck, feeling like he could immediately steal something else.

It was just a pity that he was on the train.

He looked at the table next to the train door, full of remorse. He hadn't managed to buy a single bottle of water today. He clearly hadn't arrived late, but he just couldn't push past the others.

But it was alright, he had already thought of a solution. He wouldn't go anywhere today; he would just guard the green train here. Wherever the green train went, he would go.

When it reached midnight, who would still be able to compete with him for water?

If Lin Feng knew Tong Changshan's inner thoughts, he would definitely tell him: "Kid, you're too naive. I have to do maintenance at night. Besides, the midnight time definitely won't be available."

Tong Changshan got off the train and followed behind it. Although the green train's speed had been upgraded, it wasn't particularly fast; he could still keep up by running.
