My Abilities Come with Special Effects

90  Cultivation

The strong preyed on the weak. In the natural selection, one had to show their claws and teeth to deter others.

In the end, Xie Lingyan still didn't know how many villages Lin Yan had gone to that night and how many people he had killed.

She only knew that for six to seven days in a row, the Guangchuan Mountains near the Ji Village suddenly became calm and peaceful. It was as if even the roars of insects, rats, and beasts had become much timid and cautious.

The nearby villages welcomed a long-awaited peace.

"Junior Brother Ji, the Ji Village is very good. You can rest in peace…"

After paying her respects to Ji Quan, Xie Lingyan returned to the village and met Lin Yan on the road at the entrance.

"Miss Xie, you came at the right time."

"Did you wait for me?"

"I want to fight you again!"

Xie Lingyan raised her beautiful eyes slightly. She knew Lin Yan had been cultivating diligently for the past few days. He must have gained something and wanted to verify it with her.

"Okay."

The two of them arrived at the empty mud land in the village.

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

Zang Wei happened to be there as well. In front of him stood Hu Wa. He was practicing the Five Animal Hands Technique.

Back then, after Lin Yan carried Tiger on his back and killed everyone, Hu Wa wanted to acknowledge Lin Yan as his master no matter what.

However, Lin Yan knew that he was too busy. He had to cultivate the Dragon-Shaped Fist and Iron Pagoda and didn't have time at all.

He had pushed Hu Wa in front of Eldest Senior Brother. He did not expect him to really succeed in becoming Eldest Senior Brother's disciple.

"You want to spar?" Zang Wei looked up at Xie Lingyan and reminded her, "Miss Xie, be careful. Lin Yan… is a little strange!"

Xie Lingyan's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. She had also seen some of Lin Yan's abnormalities. His physique was extremely powerful, and he could withstand all kinds of injuries. His recovery speed was also extremely strange.

But in terms of raw strength, he was completely inferior to her, right?

It couldn't be that he had been reborn in just six to seven days, right?

Curious, she stretched her muscles and bones. Her fair face revealed a hint of interest. "Come!"

Lin Yan took a deep breath, as if a puff of air was swallowed by him. "Miss Xie, I'm sorry!"

In the next moment, the mud under Lin Yan's feet suddenly exploded, and dust scattered.

Xie Lingyan's pupils constricted violently. A black shadow suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. It was as if he had arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye!

Fast!

It was too fast!

The surrounding air seemed to explode because of his speed, stirring up an intense airflow that blew until Hu Wa could not open his eyes.

Xie Lingyan only had time to raise her hand to block it before she felt a light force on her arm. It separated with a touch and then retreated.

Looking at Lin Yan, who had returned to his original position as if he had not moved, a thin layer of cold sweat seeped out of Xie Lingyan's smooth forehead.

How could he be so fast!

Lin Yan was clearly showing mercy. Otherwise, with the speed of this punch, she would probably be injured.

"He's faster again, even faster…" Zang Wei could not help but mutter, "Where did this kid come from?"

Over the past few days, Lin Yan had been asking him to teach him the Dragon-Shaped Fist, so he naturally taught him everything.

However, as he taught, he slowly realized that something was wrong.

Lin Yan's improvement speed was too fast!

The Dragon-Shaped Fist was a secret martial art and was famous for being difficult to practice, but in Lin Yan's hands, he made progress every day!

In just six to seven days, he had actually completed all the changes in the Strength Realm and reached the essence realm!

It was impossible for an ordinary martial artist to master the essence of the Dragon-Shaped Fist without two to three years.

Even a genius like Mi Tai would need a few months to barely master it with the support of a large number of resources.

How could he reach this level in six to seven days?

He was even more of a freak than a freak!

Lin Yan stood on the spot and looked at the shocked Zang Wei and Xie Lingyan. He said helplessly, "Miss Xie, it seems that we don't have to continue competing."

Xie Lingyan was barely able to block that punch just now. It could be seen that he was already invincible in this spar.

Xie Lingyan's beautiful eyes were still filled with disbelief. "How did you do it?"

"Miss Xie, you forgot that the Dragon-Shaped Fist of Dragon Gate Pavilion is good at speed."

Xie Lingyan opened her mouth silently. Did this guy think that she had never seen the Dragon-Shaped Fist?

This was not an ultimate killing move like Roaming Dragon Crossing, but an ordinary punch.

If the Dragon-Shaped Fist could have such speed, Dragon Gate Pavilion would have long become the number one super faction in Ding'an City!

Lin Yan was not prepared to explain, nor could he.

He changed the topic and asked Zang Wei, "Eldest Senior Brother, I've consumed a little too much Bone Tempering Ointment during my cultivation recently. Do you still have it here?"

Zang Wei shook his head. "The amount of Bone Tempering Ointment is limited to begin with. There was no stock in the pavilion before."

He saw the faint anxiety on Lin Yan's face and said, "If you really need the Bone Tempering Ointment, why don't you ask Feiyan?"

"She has Bone Tempering Ointment?"

"She doesn't have it, but she knows the configuration and refinement method of the Bone Tempering Ointment."

"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother."

Without hesitation, Lin Yan bade farewell to the two of them and quickly found Pang Feiyan in the forest to the east.

Her delicate fists were wrapped in bandages, and she was punching a towering tree like a crazy person. Her fists were bleeding unknowingly.

After this drastic change, Pang Feiyan had become much more restrained. Other than occasionally talking to Xie Lingyan, she was always in a daze or practicing martial arts crazily.

"Bone Tempering Ointment? You saved my Dragon Gate Pavilion. A mere Bone Tempering Ointment is not worth mentioning. However, Bone Tempering Ointment requires some special herbs. It's not easy to collect them. You have to find them yourself!"

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. "Of course!"

And yet…

Lin Yan looked at the crooked patterns of seven or eight medicinal herbs on the mud and was speechless.

Pang Feiyan threw away the bamboo branch in her hand and said matter-of-factly, "Seven Qian Grass, Red Poria Flower, Lotus Fruit… I do remember the names of the medicinal herbs, but you can't ask me to draw them vividly, right?"

Pang Feiyan was a young lady, so she naturally did not have such superb painting skills.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and began to ask Pang Feiyan about the effects of each herb.

Pang Feiyan answered them one by one. In the end, she asked curiously, "If you want to find medicinal herbs, why are you only asking about the medicinal effects? Could it be that you can tell the medicinal effects just by looking?"

Lin Yan shook his head. He naturally couldn't tell the effect of the medicine by looking, but he could tell when he tasted it.

The Guangchuan Mountains was vast and sparsely populated. It was rich in resources and lush with vegetation.

He was prepared to imitate Li Shizhen from his previous life and taste all kinds of herbs. It was not only to find the herbs for the Bone Tempering Ointment, but also to find poison.

He had already consumed more than half of his Nether Return Powder.

After bidding farewell to Pang Feiyan, he left the forest.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and circulated his blood energy. Certain muscles in his legs immediately knotted, and an explosive force brewed and surged, causing his entire body to feel light.

He subconsciously had the urge to run wildly. As he started running, the scenery around him immediately turned into a phantom. The violent wind was left behind him, and his body shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Many villagers of the Ji Village felt a gust of wind suddenly blow past them and disappear without a trace.

The scenery was like smoke, as if it was covered in a layer of mist.

After running for four to five kilometers, he arrived under a tall waterfall in the mountains. When he heard the sound of roaring water and felt the water vapor on his face, Lin Yan stopped.

To his heart's content!

Training the Dragon-Shaped Fist could temper certain muscles and fascias in the legs, allowing them to slowly form a whole.

Then, under the circulation of blood energy, they exerted strength together and erupted with terrifying speed.

Lin Yan was also very surprised that his progress in practicing the Dragon-Shaped Fist could be so fast.

In just six to seven days, he had improved from 15% proficiency to 35% proficiency. It was equivalent to the Essence Realm, and his strength had increased again.

Over the past few days, he had also learned more general knowledge about martial arts.

For example, many secret martial arts techniques were roughly divided into four realms.

Entry, Essence, Combination, Great Accomplishment.

The Entry and Essence were the Strength Realm.

The Combination and Great Accomplishment were at the Tough Realm.

When one cultivated the Essence, they could temper the muscles and bones in their feet and their speed would increase greatly.

When cultivating to the Combination, one could integrate all the strength in their body to form Tough Force and break through to the Tough Realm.

When cultivating the Great Accomplishment, one could learn the ultimate killing move corresponding to the martial arts technique and master a powerful killing move.

The reason why he improved so quickly was entirely because the perfection of the Five Animal Hands Technique was too helpful to the Dragon-Shaped Fist!

It was as if there was no bottleneck at all. As long as he practiced the Dragon-Shaped Fist, he could easily master any movement and method of exerting strength.

Even if some key points were unclear for a moment, they could be resolved quickly with a little time.

Therefore, in just six to seven days, his strength had improved greatly. With just his terrifying speed, he had already surpassed Xie Lingyan.

Lin Yan pondered.

With his current strength, if he faced the huge strange monster back then, he could win without any injuries even if he fought two people!

Even if it was Li Qu, he could rely on his speed to fight him evenly or even grind him to death.

"But this strength… is still not enough. It's far from enough!"

Countless Noble Realm martial masters had fallen in Ding'an City!

Pang Tong and Pang Feiyan had been infiltrating Ding'an City in disguise from time to time for the past few days. They had investigated from many sources, but they could not find any information related to Pang Yinlong and Pang Meng.

Not only them, but more than half of the Noble Realm martial masters in Ding'an City had disappeared into thin air in the City Lord Manor!

"It's said that there are even portraits of Eldest Senior Brother and Xie Lingyan posted in the city. They're wanted everywhere. Fortunately, the portraits aren't enough to identify them…"

The other party was too strong.

They were so strong that Xie Lingyan and Zang Wei felt despair. They could not think of avenging their masters at all.

His small improvement in strength was nothing in front of such a huge creature. It was like an ant becoming stronger.

"Become stronger. Become stronger as soon as possible!

"I have to practice the Dragon-Shaped Fist to the Combination as soon as possible and break through to the Tough Realm.

"With the help of the Five Animal Hands Technique, I can cultivate it to near perfection and sublimate it to produce new special effects.

"At the same time, I'll taste all the herbs. As I collect poison, I'll search for herbs to replenish the Bone Tempering Ointment.

"Also, I have to arrange time to cultivate the Iron Pagoda. It can greatly increase my defense…"

Lin Yan glanced at the high waterfall.

The Iron Pagoda was a hard body skill. It required external forces to temper the body and cultivate defense.

He accidentally discovered this place as the cultivation venue of the Iron Pagoda.

"The plan is set. Let's begin…"

Lin Yan took a deep breath and immediately devoted himself to cultivation.
