The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 772 - 768: Unique Footwork, Hundred-Year Medicine Pool
Chapter 772: Chapter 768: Unique Footwork, Hundred-Year Medicine Pool
The stone room suddenly became quiet, with the body of Bing Wuyan lying silently on the ground. Ye Chenfeng sat beside Xia Zining. After the incident with Bing Wuyan, Ye Chenfeng realized that his current strength was too weak. He could not even defeat a Sky-Breaking Realm master, and recklessly infiltrating Tianshan Sect might have been too dangerous.
After all, as a third-tier force, Tianshan Sect had at least five Sky-Breaking Realm masters, ten Innate Realm masters, and fifty Heaven Rank High Grade masters.
Ye Chenfeng now had to increase his strength to be on par with a Sky-Breaking Realm master so that, once he infiltrated Tianshan Sect, he would have the confidence to safely escape if discovered.
Xia Zining, noticing Ye Chenfeng had sunk into deep thought and not getting any response from him, could only break the silence first, "Ye Chenfeng, shouldn’t you find the antidote for me first? I can’t muster even a wisp of strength in my body now."
Reminded by Xia Zining, Ye Chenfeng snapped back to reality and scanned the room; his gaze finally settled on the pink bed.
Ye Chenfeng walked to the pink bed and threw back all the covers, revealing the brown wooden planks underneath. His fingers rapped ceaselessly on the wood until he hit a spot near the foot of the bed where the sound of knocking suddenly changed, bringing a smile to his face.
Ye Chenfeng tapped on that spot a few more times and found that a small piece of the wooden plank could be slid aside. After moving it, he uncovered a cubic space filled with various bottles and jars, and two secret manuals.
Ye Chenfeng did not immediately delve into the two secret manuals but instead searched through the bottles and jars for an antidote for Xia Zining. Fortunately, with his proficient Medical Skills, he soon picked out a green bottle containing a white pill which he surmised—after thorough consideration—should be the antidote to restore Xia Zining’s strength.
Ye Chenfeng poured out a white pill from the bottle, walked over to Xia Zining, and said, "Open your mouth, I’ve found the antidote."
Xia Zining wanted to administer it herself, but lacking the strength to even lift her hand, she could only blush and obediently do as Ye Chenfeng said, slowly opening her tender red lips.
Ye Chenfeng did not entertain any stray thoughts; he directly placed the white pill into Xia Zining’s mouth. After she swallowed the pill, a warm current immediately formed inside her body. As the warmth surged through her, she gradually regained strength in her limbs.
Seeing Xia Zining recovered, Ye Chenfeng returned to the bedside and took out the two secret manuals from the hidden compartment—one was titled "Sun Harvesting Tome." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
After briefly flipping through the manual, Ye Chenfeng figured that this must be the cultivation technique Bing Wuyan had practiced. It instructed women how to enhance their strength by harvesting yang energy. Once a woman embarked on this path, she could not be exposed to sunlight unless she had reached the Sky-Breaking Peak.
From his brief confrontation with Bing Wuyan, Ye Chenfeng knew that she was at most at the Initial Stage of the Sky-Breaking Realm.
One piece of information Ye Chenfeng had obtained from Li Feicai, the proprietor of Tianxing City’s Mechanism Pavilion, was that many male cultivators of the Ancient Martial World had mysteriously disappeared over the past two years; Bing Wuyan was undoubtedly the perpetrator behind these cases.
Discarding the "Sun Harvesting Tome" to one side, Ye Chenfeng focused on the second manual titled "Storm Step Technique." From its name, this "Storm Step Technique" should enhance one’s speed.
After Xia Zining had regained her strength, she saw Ye Chenfeng skimming through the two manuals and walked over to him out of curiosity, just as he was about to examine the "Storm Step Technique."
Upon seeing the "Storm Step Technique," Xia Zining’s breathing halted. She exclaimed, "Is that really the Storm Step Technique? How could it be here? How could Bing Wuyan possibly possess the Storm Step Technique?"
Hearing the surprise in Xia Zining’s voice, Ye Chenfeng looked up and asked, "Is this Storm Step Technique really that amazing?"
Xia Zining nodded and explained, "Let me give you a simple explanation. Haven’t you cultivated the Xuantian Sect’s Xuantian Step Technique? The Storm Step Technique is of the same type, but it’s far superior to the Xuantian Step. Moreover, if you can perfect the Storm Step Technique, you could instantly defeat an opponent of the same level with your speed."
"This Storm Step Technique is that incredible?" Ye Chenfeng began to feel tempted.
Xia Zining added, "I have no reason to lie to you. It’s said that the Storm Step Technique appeared among the top forces five or six hundred years ago. Back then, the person who cultivated this technique almost swept away all masters of his level and was even capable of challenging those at higher levels, prompting many masters to join forces to hunt him down."
"Later on, the cultivator who mastered the Storm Step Technique suddenly disappeared from the Ancient Martial World, and along with him, the technique vanished as well. I read about it in the records of the Scripture Pavilion of my sect."
After hearing Xia Zining’s detailed explanation, Ye Chenfeng felt a surge of shock. In theory, Bing Wuyan had also cultivated the Storm Step Technique, but fortunately, Bing Wuyan had been on the bed, unable to immediately display the Storm Step Technique.
If Bing Wuyan had been standing on the ground, and Ye Chenfeng still resorted to the same surprise attack tactic as before, it was possible that Bing Wuyan could have easily evaded it.
"I wonder if I could cultivate such a technique? I’ve already managed to cultivate the Xuantian Step Technique, so I should be able to cultivate the Storm Step Technique, right?" Ye Chenfeng thought to himself.
After all, the Storm Step Technique was too important for Ye Chenfeng at this moment. Not to mention that, after perfecting the Storm Step Technique to its ultimate level, he would be able to defeat opponents of the same rank in an instant, but just the sheer speed of the Storm Step Technique was absolutely a great asset for escaping!
"Ye Chenfeng, let’s not rush to look at this secret manual right now. Let’s leave this place first!" Xia Zining said, unable to help herself when she saw Ye Chenfeng intending to peruse the Storm Step Technique.
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "Xia Zining, rest assured, nothing more will happen. We’ve dealt with Bing Wuyan, who else here could possibly threaten us now? Those three maids of Bing Wuyan, with strength only at the peak of the Yellow Rank, even you could handle the three of them."
"If you’re really worried, I’ll accompany you to capture those three maids first. I want to delve into this Storm Step Technique. That way, when we infiltrate the Tianshan Sect, I’ll have an extra card up my sleeve," Ye Chenfeng said.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had said so, and since Xia Zining also felt there was much truth in his words, the two of them first stepped out of the stone chamber and knocked the three maids of Bing Wuyan unconscious before tying them up with rope.
Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining also took this opportunity to briefly search the surrounding area. In the end, Ye Chenfeng discovered that they indeed were inside a carved-out cave, but the entrance to the cave was usually sealed by a large stone and obscured with lush trees, making it extremely difficult for the average person to discover this cave.
After dealing with these matters, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining returned to the stone chamber, of course having already removed Bing Wuyan’s body from the chamber.
Ye Chenfeng sat down on the chair and began to carefully flip through the "Storm Step Technique."
About two hours later.
Ye Chenfeng finished reading through the entire Storm Step Technique. He placed the secret manual on the table and stood up from the chair. Beside him, Xia Zining looked at Ye Chenfeng with puzzlement, thinking, "Is he going to use the Storm Step Technique now? How long has he looked at it? Can he really perform the Storm Step Technique after such a short time?"
While Xia Zining was silently questioning in her heart, Ye Chenfeng began to circulate the incantations of the Storm Step Technique inside his body. As the incantations circulated, Ye Chenfeng found that the flow of Soul Force within him changed, which slightly relieved him, indicating he could cultivate the "Storm Step Technique."
The Soul Force within his body started to massively change its direction of flow following the incantations.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
As time ticked away, Ye Chenfeng suddenly felt an intense heat under his feet, as if they were about to burst into flames. Then, with a whoosh, Ye Chenfeng’s body unexpectedly lost control, his speed nearly doubling. He shot directly towards the wall behind the pink bed.
Instead of the expected impact, a secret door appeared in the wall behind the pink bed. Ye Chenfeng crashed right through the secret door.
Upon entering the secret door, Ye Chenfeng immediately stopped the "Storm Step Technique" and found himself in a small room. In front of him was a square pool, and on the wall behind the pool, two characters were written in a bold and unrestrained manner, "Medicine Pool." (To be continued.
