Chapter 344: Six Harmonies Qilin Body
Returning to his house in the outer city from the inner city of the Golden Sand, Zhang Yuan called Wang Wu over.
Recently, Wang Wu had been staying on the island and hadn’t gone out.
His strength was too weak, truly a weakling in battle, unable to contend against even an ordinary Barbarian warrior, and it was too easy to encounter danger if he frequently went out.
But previously, Wang Wu had developed quite a few informants around the Golden Sand Island and had secretly posted a bounty targeting the White Wolf.
Therefore, the main task now was to wait for news.
This was inevitable, as the current Great Dream Marsh was in chaos, making it difficult to find the target, and requiring more luck.
Meanwhile, Wang Wu wasn’t idle; he was also gathering all sorts of information on the island for Zhang Yuan.
He worked diligently.
"Master."
Wang Wu cautiously asked, "Do you have any orders?"
He had spent a large sum of silver taels provided by Zhang Yuan, scattering them like water, and ended up with no useful clues at all.
Though Zhang Yuan was not concerned and appeared extremely patient.
However, Wang Wu, who always considered himself a lackey of Zhang Yuan, remained uneasy.
Worried about being cast out by Zhang Yuan.
Without Zhang Yuan’s protection, he wouldn’t even be qualified to live on the Golden Sand Island or its surrounding waters.
Life like that would be unbearable!
To Wang Wu’s utter surprise, Zhang Yuan handed him two booklets: "These two Entering Force Heart Method and Fist Technique, take them and practice well. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me."
The two Cultivation Techniques were just exchanged by Zhang Yuan with battle merits at the Golden Sand Gang’s Outer Hall.
After exchanging Qilin Grass from Fan Tai, he still had quite a few battle merits left.
He might as well exchange for Cultivation Techniques as benefits for Wang Wu.
To help the other enhance his strength.
Looking at the bold words "Dragon-Tiger Force" on the cover, Wang Wu’s hands trembled, and his lips involuntarily quivered a few times, wanting to say something, yet his throat seemed blocked.
He suddenly knelt on one knee, using all his strength to say tremblingly, "Th-thank you, Master!"
Wang Wu had some talent in Martial Arts.
Though not much, he had stubbornly achieved Entering Force with only a half-destroyed Cultivation Technique.
Becoming a Tier One Light Force Martial Artist.
However, Wang Wu’s path in Martial Arts stopped there.
The Cultivation Technique he practiced was not only ordinary but also incomplete, and he dared not practice blindly, making further improvement extremely difficult.
The most crucial issue was that Wang Wu had no money; he couldn’t afford new Cultivation Techniques nor buy any Cultivation Resources.
Thus, he lingered at Tier One until now.
Originally, he had lost hope in Martial Arts cultivation, living day by day, thinking to take one day at a time.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan gave him two Cultivation Techniques!
The deeply buried desire within Wang Wu to become a strong Martial Artist was suddenly awakened.
His gratitude towards Zhang Yuan was beyond words.
He genuinely decided to be completely devoted!
"Practice diligently."
Zhang Yuan patted Wang Wu’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, "As long as you persevere, there is always hope."
Wang Wu nodded vigorously, "Master’s great kindness, Wang Wu will never forget it!"
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, "It’s not that serious."
He saw in Wang Wu a bit of his past self.
So he was willing to offer a helping hand.
As for Wang Wu’s future, that would rely on his own efforts and luck.
It was all Zhang Yuan could do, nothing more.
Next, Zhang Yuan planned to stop hunting Barbarians and no longer continue accumulating battle merits for the Golden Sand Gang.
He intended to devote his time to studying the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body."
This time coming to the Great Dream Marsh, Zhang Yuan did not bring any Secret Cultivation Manual, including the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body."
But the content of this Horizontal Cultivation Technique was already engraved in his mind.
In the Quiet Chamber, Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, carefully recalling the entire Magic Technique of the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body" several times.
Especially the opening part, he recalled while pondering.
Retrieving the memory as if flipping through a Secret Manual.
After ensuring there were no omissions or errors, Zhang Yuan took out the Jade Box containing the Qilin Grass from his bosom.
As soon as he opened the box, a wave of fiery energy rushed towards him!
Inside the Jade Box, a fiery red Treasure Grass was fixed with gold threads.
The roots, stem, and leaves seemed to be sculpted from Fire Jade, crystal clear like an exquisite piece of artwork, rather than a naturally grown product.
But holding it in his hand, Zhang Yuan could clearly sense the vitality and spirituality hidden within the Qilin Grass!
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, then stuffed the valuable Treasure Grass into his mouth.
Swallowing it directly into his stomach.
It was just so simple and brutal!
Though in order to fully utilize the effects of Qilin Grass, it would be best to refine it into an Elixir.
Swallowing it directly was inevitably wasteful, and some efficacy would surely be lost.
But at present, where could Zhang Yuan find an Alchemist capable of refining Qilin Pills?
Thus, he chose the simplest and most convenient method.
After consuming the grass, Zhang Yuan quietly waited.
But after a moment, there was no reaction in his stomach.
It felt as if he’d swallowed nothing.
However, just as Zhang Yuan felt puzzled, his stomach seemed to have ignited a high-energy incendiary bomb.
A fierce and violent Flame Sun Power suddenly erupted, almost wanting to incinerate Zhang Yuan’s internal organs!
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt.
Blood trickled from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears simultaneously.
Moreover, his body temperature skyrocketed, his skin turning crimson like a cooked shrimp.
Even wisps of steam rose from his head.
The nearly three-hundred-year-old Qilin Grass had exceptionally potent medicinal strength!
Yet Zhang Yuan was not the least bit frightened or flustered. He immediately activated the True Essence in his Dantian, forcibly suppressing the rampaging medicinal strength, then according to the Magic Technique in the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body," slowly grinding and integrating them.
This process was long and arduous.
Zhang Yuan constantly felt as if his internal organs were burning and his meridians were tearing apart. His struggle against the powerful medicinal strength of the Qilin Grass was an ongoing tug of war, inevitably causing harm to his body.
At one point, Zhang Yuan doubted whether the method described in the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body" Secret Manual about swallowing the Qilin Grass all at once was correct.
Perhaps taking it in stages was the true method.
But at this stage, there was no turning back for Zhang Yuan.
He persevered through it.
As time went on, Zhang Yuan’s skin gradually returned to its normal hue.
Yet beneath the epidermis, tiny, golden blood lines quietly emerged.
These golden lines intricately intertwined, outlining patches of Scale Armor, eventually appearing on the skin’s surface.
"Ha!"
In the next moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly exhaled, his eyes flashing with a hint of bloody light.
His muscles tightened abruptly, the immense strength almost bursting from his body, his tendons and bones reverberating as his entire being vibrated.
He had finally stepped into the threshold of the "Six Harmonies Qilin Body!"
