When Hu Yanting died, his face was hideous, and his features were twisted and deford. His head soaked in salt made it look like snowflakes crowned him.
"Uncle."
Fang Zheng placed the head in front of the grave and sighed:
"I have avenged your death. I hope that you, knowing this in the afterlife, can rest in peace and start anew as soon as possible; that is what's important."
"Alas!"
"Why were you so hasty back then? If you had waited for , we could have discussed it in detail before ti-traveling. Instead, you ended up losing your life."
"Sigh..."
The autumn wind swept the ground, carrying a few fallen leaves.
Fang Zheng murmured for a long ti at the grave before kneeling on both knees, bowing, and leaving alone.
The next day.
The head in front of the grave was discovered, causing a flurry of activity at the Public Security Bureau. However, identifying the deceased was just wishful thinking.
They could only speculate that this person was the murderer who killed Fang Jian and that Fang Zheng had beheaded him in revenge.
But...
The Public Security Bureau had long grown accustod to Fang Zheng's lawlessness, and without evidence, they were too lazy to summon him.
After all, nothing could be gleaned even if he ca.
......
Abandoned warehouse.
Most items in the warehouse were dilapidated, except for a few diesel generator sets that could still be used, which had been cleaned of dust.
"Clang!"
Fang Zheng entered with a can of oil, stopping in front of one of the generator sets.
Rated power: 1300 kilowatts.
V-type 12-cylinder engine.
Automated control system.
Universal circuit breaker.
...
Apart from the generator sets, there was also a cage-like structure in the venue, made of reinforced bars and iron sh, with a seat-like center.
Here,
was the place he'd specifically prepared for cultivating the Elental Thunder Skill.
"No rush to return yet."
After stretching his wrist, Fang Zheng flipped the switch, lightning arcs bouncing along the bars and sh, and current surged within.
"Wu Hai and the others..."
"May they be well!"
The chaos in Gu'an County wouldn't settle down quickly, but Wu Hai and the others were far from the chaotic core, so there shouldn't be much problem.
Moreover,
Fang Zheng couldn't protect them all the ti, especially with that Martial Artist from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion around, who might have ways to track him.
Better to lay low for a ti.
"Sizzle..."
Lightning arcs danced in the air, gradually gathering at the center, indicating that everything was ready.
After flexing his muscles, Fang Zheng walked towards the electrified iron sh, with each step drawing an arc onto his body.
However, unlike before,
Now, he had a strong resistance to the current.
His Qi and blood surged within, counteracting the electricity flowing in, and his power emanated outward, forming an invisible barrier around him.
The electric current, potent enough to stun or kill, had beco an auxiliary tool for tempering the body of the present Fang Zheng.
He sat cross-legged at the center and took out a brocade box.
"Snap..."
The brocade box opened.
Inside was an elixir pill about the size of a quail egg.
The elixir was blood red, and on closer inspection, there seed to be a blood wave undulating inside. A faint aroma could be slled when sniffed lightly.
Blood Lotus Pill!
The pill contained vast essence, beneficial for refining the body, greatly useful to Martial Artists and Mages, and definitely a supre-grade item for him.
If he could ingest and refine it, he might quickly reach the realm of Three Blood Perfection.
After so thought, he took out a calming incense stick and lit it.
The smoke curled up,
soothing his agitated mind.
"Sigh..."
Fang Zheng exhaled deeply, his eyes calm and serene, tilting his head to consu the Blood Lotus Pill, then he closed his eyes and circulated the Elental Thunder Skill with his Qi and blood.
"Buzz..."
"Boom!"
Qi and blood churned like incessant rumbling thunder.
At a certain mont.
"Boom!"
A surge of fla rose abruptly from his abdon, spreading instantly to his limbs, making his skin redden and heat up.
What terrifying dicinal power!
Fang Zheng was startled and imdiately exerted all his strength to circulate his cultivation technique, trying to refine the dicinal power.
However,
compared to the ceaseless, surging essence, his cultivation base was like a mayfly shaking a tree, making little difference.
Damn!
Fang Zheng's heart pounded fiercely, silently cursing.
With his current strength, he couldn't possibly digest this enormous dicinal power and might even suffer severe physical damage as a result.
"Sure enough, Shopkeeper Ba is unreliable!"
This accusation was sowhat unfair to Shopkeeper Ba. The Blood Lotus Pill was not designed to be used by a Body Refining Martial Artist; he didn't know the specifics well.
He only assud it from previous experiences.
Little did he know.
The Blood Lotus Pill contained imnse essence and its nature was violent, hence its na with 'blood'; ordinary people truly couldn't withstand it.
'If this continues, even without enhancing the cultivation base, my body might collapse, and I could lose a significant portion of my cultivation base even if I survive.'
'The Supre Dao Foundation laid by the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishnt thod would be damaged.'
'The best scenario would still require a few months of recovery to regain strength, wasting a rare elixir.'
Thanks to the calming incense, despite the crisis, Fang Zheng could maintain emotional stability, not panicking, with thoughts racing in his mind.
What to do?
Hmm?
With his mind highly strained and focused, he instantly noticed the only anomaly in his body.
Skin and flesh!
The influx of current clashed with the vast dicinal power when penetrating the skin, neutralizing each other, protecting his body.
In fact,
making the skin slightly stronger through so degree of tempering.
"There's hope!"
Fang Zheng opened his eyes, a gleam in his eyes, then picked up a small stone from the ground, flicking it towards the generator set.
Level five!
"Buzz..."
"Crackle!"
With the frenzied operation of the colored glaze generator, thick arcs of electricity rushed along the web at a speed difficult to discern with the naked eye.
