Chapter 94: Unconscious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After completely increasing his speed, Lin Yan quickly left the poisonous fog mountain.
The surroundings returned to the green ancient forest. Other than the occasional mud and dust, there were almost no traces of an earthquake.
It seemed that the mountain just now was the epicenter of the earthquake. The further out he went, the smaller the impact.
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. The Ji Village was so far away, so it must be fine.
He relaxed and slowed down his pace. Along the way, he even tasted a few unfamiliar new herbs and picked some herbs that were needed for the Bone Tempering Ointment or were helpful to blood energy.
Clearly, after leaving the mountain, the frequency of the poisonous fog appearing decreased, and the medicinal herbs became normal.
Soon, he passed through a verdant forest and returned to the col where the Ji Village was.
…..
At a glance, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. The Ji Village was safe and sound. There were no changes. Clearly, the earthquake did not affect this place.
After asking a villager and receiving the same answer, Lin Yan was completely relieved.
On the way back to the village, Lin Yan passed by the forest on the east side. He stopped and walked in.
Indeed, Pang Feiyan was in the forest.
She was not tall and had a round face. She looked adorable. She was wearing a tight white suit and used a red silk cloth as a belt.
At this moment, she was raising her head. Her two fair little hands were clenched into fists with the center of her fists facing outwards. She raised her head diagonally and looked straight at the clouds floating in the sky.
It was supposed to be a stretched and comfortable posture, but she did it as if she was surrendering, especially on her delicate baby face. Her mouth was wide open, revealing a stiff smile, so much so that she looked like a fool.
Noticing Lin Yan’s arrival, Pang Feiyan put down her hands and the silly smile on her face disappeared. She ran over quickly and said dejectedly, “Lin Yan, I’ve already tried the method you taught me. Why is it still useless?”
Lin Yan opened his mouth and could only say in the end, “Perhaps you haven’t relaxed enough. You have to relax completely.”
In the past two months, Pang Feiyan had gone completely crazy and cultivated day and night.
Although she was not very smart, her talent was alright. The results of her martial arts training were actually obvious, and her strength had improved greatly.
However, when she learned from Zang Wei that Lin Yan had cultivated the Dragon-Shaped Fist so fast, she was completely dissatisfied with her progress.
She directly found Lin Yan and asked him for advice on how to quickly increase his strength.
Lin Yan was naturally perfunctory.
However, Pang Tong found him and said that Pang Feiyan had been training too crazily recently. In order to take revenge, she had been possessed.
He hoped that Lin Yan could use this opportunity to deceive Pang Feiyan and let her rest well.
Lin Yan actually expressed his doubts. How could a cultivator be so easy to fool?
However, Pang Tong emphasized that Pang Feiyan’s brain was not very bright, so he could boldly fool her.
After asking for Eldest Senior Brother’s opinion, Lin Yan made up a few cultivation secrets such as “stretching his hands”, “looking up at the sky”, “smiling”, and “fusing with the world”.
Pang Feiyan actually did not doubt it at all. As if she had obtained a treasure, she did it every day when she was free.
But in the end…
Lin Yan thought of how Pang Feiyan had raised her hands high and smiled foolishly as if she was being hung up. He felt that Pang Tong and Eldest Senior Brother’s worries were completely unnecessary.
She would not be possessed by anyone!
Pang Feiyan seriously memorized Lin Yan’s “secret trick” just now. She held her chin and thought seriously.
Lin Yan took out a second bag from his right waist and handed it to Pang Feiyan.
“These are the herbs 1 found today. It’s been hard on you to prepare the Bone Tempering Ointment.”
Pang Feiyan took it and her eyes lit up. “It’s not bad. Have you gone deeper?”
Lin Yan nodded. “1 even encountered an earthquake. Did you feel anything here?”
Pang Feiyan shook her head in confusion. “1 didn’t feel anything.”
After chatting for a while, Lin Yan turned around and left. When he passed by the village square, Eldest Senior Brother Zang Wei was teaching Hu Wa and a few other youths martial arts.
He had completely given up on his martial arts breakthrough and wanted to nurture more successors of the Dragon-Shaped Fist.
Other than pulling Lin Yan to teach the Five Animal Hands Technique from time to time, he often went deep into the Guangchuan Mountains to hunt wild boars, bison, and other animals to support his disciples in martial arts.
Seeing Lin Yan, Zang Wei walked up in a few steps. His eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness. “Lin Yan, have you broken through?” “Eldest Senior Brother, I just touched the Combination level the day before yesterday. How can 1 break through in a day?” “Others might not be able to do it, but you might. I’ve never seen it before. In just two months, you’ve practiced the Dragon-Shaped Fist to the level of Combination. I’ll believe a freak like you if you say that you’ve reached the Great Accomplishment realm tomorrow.” “…Eldest Senior Brother, I’m a human, not a freak.”
“Is there a difference?”
Zang Wei waved his hand and ignored him. He turned around and went to teach Hu Wa and the others.
He felt that Eldest Senior Brother had also become obsessed.
As Lin Yan walked back, he focused and opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
Basic information:
Skills: Devour (ioo%), Five Animal Hands (ioo%), Dragon-Shaped Fist (65%), Iron Pagoda (9%)
In just two months, the Dragon-Shaped Fist had increased from 15% proficiency, facilitated by the Five Animal Hands Technique, to 65% proficiency.
If 15% was the entry level and 35% was the essence, then 65% was the combination level.
It was also a relatively obvious obstacle he had encountered since he started practicing the Dragon-Shaped Fist.
Every time he cultivated, he would feel a piece of his body that spanned from his feet to his waist. His specific muscles and bones were constantly devouring blood energy. It was itchy and sore, as if they were constantly growing and transforming.
He could sense that once he broke through this level, this area of bones and meridians would undergo some strange changes. It should be the so-called Tough Force.
There were many Strength Realm martial artists in Dragon Gate Pavilion, but there were only Pang Meng, Du Fushan, and Zang Wei at the Tough Realm. It could be seen that this obstacle was extremely difficult. Not even one person in a hundred might be able to break through it.
However, Lin Yan inexplicably felt that this round wouldn’t be too difficult for him.
He was only lacking a little blood energy to polish and temper. It wouldn’t be long before he could break through.
He went all the way back to his house in the Ji Village.
This was a villager’s house. The original owner’s family had died tragically in the hands of the gangsters. The village chief had arranged for him to stay temporarily.
He pushed the door open and entered. Xiao Lu was sitting in the corner, peeling a pot of emerald long-horned beans.
Lin Yan took off the other bag on his right waist and placed it on the wooden cabinet beside the door. “Xiao Lu, cut these herbs and dry them later.” “Yes, sir.”
This place was filled with medicinal herbs to nourish blood energy. They were prepared for Xiaozhi’s martial arts start.
In this world, one had to practice martial arts.
“Where’s Xiaozhi?” “Miss is sleeping in there.” “Asleep?”
Lin Yan entered the room and took a look. Xiaozhi was sleeping soundly on the bed. Her cheeks were slightly red, and there was even a sweet smile on her face.
Everything looked extremely normal.
However, Lin Yan had a bad feeling. He recalled that Xiaozhi had an inexplicable period of sleepiness.
He came out and asked Xiao Lu, “How long has Xiaozhi been asleep?” “Less than two hours, Miss suddenly said that she was a little sleepy, so she went to bed and fell asleep.” “1 don’t remember Xiaozhi having the habit of sleeping at this hour.”
Xiao Lu was also slightly surprised. She scratched her head. “1 think so. Miss usually doesn’t take an afternoon nap…”
Lin Yan’s expression darkened. He immediately turned around and entered the door. He walked straight to Xiaozhi’s bed and shook her hand. “Xiaozhi, wake up quickly, Xiaozhi!”
However, Xiaozhi was in a daze. Her eyelids moved slightly, but she did not open them at all. She just continued to sleep.
Lin Yan carried her up and shook her. She still yawned and refused to wake up.
Lin Yan’s expression was ugly. She couldn’t wake up!
Just like last time, she seemed to have fainted!
Thinking back to the last time, Xiaozhi also suddenly started to fall asleep without any warning or reason. Later on, she strangely recovered.
No, it was not without reason…
At that time, there seemed to be an earthquake!
Lin Yan gently put Xiaozhi down. A layer of gloominess appeared between his brows. He suddenly turned his head and looked through the window. That was the direction of the poison mist mountain.
Could it be that Xiaozhi’s coma had something to do with the earthquake?
However, if it was an ordinary earthquake, how could it affect one’s mental state?
Or was this earthquake not that simple?
Thinking back to today, the poisonous fog that spewed out from the earthquake and the strange knife limb that flashed and disappeared, could it be that it was not a change in the earth’s crust, but something else that triggered the earthquake?
…..
“Master, what’s wrong with Miss?”
Xiao Lu stood by the door and was frightened by Lin Yan’s expression.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.”
Lin Yan wiped Xiaozhi’s forehead. Her temperature was normal, just like an ordinary person.
Last time, he went to the pharmacy to get a few batches of calming soup. It seemed to have a certain effect on Xiaozhi.
He immediately stood up. “Xiao Lu, take good care of her. I’m going to the city.” “But Master, it’s almost dark…” “It’s okay. I’ll be back soon. Go get a basin of water. If Xiaozhi has a nightmare, wipe her sweat off.” “Yes, sir.”
Along the way out, Lin Yan was anxious. He completely let go and ran towards Ding’an City.
The sun was setting in the west. The sun had turned into a grayish orange color and hung on the side of the mountain. It was round.
When Lin Yan arrived outside Ding’an City, the sky was already covered in a layer of grayish-blue fog. He was only one step away from night.
Lin Yan slowed down.
In the past two months, he had not come to Ding’an City again. He was worried that something would happen and he would be trapped in the city.
There were people on duty at the city gate, and the gate was closed. Lin Yan also saw Xie Lingyan and Zang Wei’s wanted posters. The portraits couldn’t be said to be ugly, but they were completely different from Zang Wei and Xie Lingyan.
At this time, Lin Yan naturally couldn’t ask the guards to open the gate for him.
Fortunately, the city wall of Ding’an City was not high. To a Tough Realm expert, it was useless.
Lin Yan circled around and found a remote corner of the city wall. His fingers bent into a claw shape and with a crisp bang, he pressed them into the wall.
Then, he pulled hard and quickly climbed up like a gecko, leaving only shallow claw marks. Soon, he entered the city.
Under the cover of the night, he no longer controlled his speed. He chose a remote alley and sped all the way to the pharmacy in Chengguang District as fast as lightning.
When he passed by Jing’an District, Lin Yan was running quickly in the alley.
Suddenly, a gentle wind blew down from the high wall on the side and rushed to his side.
The wind was light and fast. Almost at the same time as Lin Yan noticed it, it reached a position parallel to him and moved forward at the same speed as him.
“Little brother, if I may ask, do you know how to get to South Mountain Mansion?”
