C6 Cultivation

West Hill outside Riverside City.

The snow had sealed off the mountain and was pressing down on the branches.

Muffled sounds could be heard continuously from the mountain. In front of a huge iron stone, Lu Fan's upper body was naked, and he quickly punched, causing the iron stone to cave in one after another.

His arm was already covered in blood, and the ground was dyed red.

His entire arm was swollen and swollen. At first, there was still pain coming from it, but now it was completely paralyzed. Lu Fan almost couldn't feel the existence of his arm. He just practiced as hard as he could as he followed the instructions of the Collapsing Mountain Fist.

On the side, there were piles of flaming grass, piles of clothes, tools, and food that was frozen like ice.

Lu Fan had already been practicing the Collapsing Mountain Fist for a few hours now. This move was a bit easier to practice than he had expected. Aside from the fact that using his arm to hit a rock really hurt, he was also gradually beginning to feel some of his moves and strength exertion.

Finally, after exhausting his strength, Lu Fan finally stopped.

His two arms were almost unable to move. Lu Fan felt as if they were broken, and he could hear the cracking sounds of bones breaking.

He picked up a stalk of Raging Flames Grass and bit at it a few times before swallowing it.

Very quickly, Lu Fan saw his entire body turn red, as though it was about to burn. This was when the medicinal effect began to take effect. Lu Fan could feel his own strength rapidly recovering.

However, this alone was not enough. Taking the Blazing Flame Grass was only a normal healing method. When practicing the Collapsing Mountain Fist, not only did he need to consume it internally, he also needed to apply it externally.

Feeling that his arm was almost ready to move, Lu Fan took out the tools he had prepared and ground a stalk of Blazing Flame Grass with white roots into powder, then smeared it over his arm.

The instant the powder touched the wound on his arm, Lu Fan felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his arm.

The intense pain caused Lu Fan's face to twitch. This pain was like his arm was being burned by fire. Gritting his teeth, Lu Fan kept telling himself that he could do it, that he could persevere.

Little by little, he wiped away the medicinal powder. As he did so, Lu Fan saw that his arm was rapidly recovering.

It had to be said that the effects of the White Fire Grass were astoundingly good. Indeed, it could increase one's cultivation speed.

The pain made Lu Fan want to vent his anger, but he forced himself to continue cultivating.

However, when his fist landed on the stone again, he immediately felt another tearing pain. Two kinds of pain overlaid each other, almost causing him to faint.

Lu Fan cursed out loud, and the dozen or so years of recuperation instantly disappeared without a trace.

Lu Fan continued his cultivation. Because this was the best time to practice the Collapsing Mountain Fist. According to the book, cultivating at this moment would allow the medicinal properties to be immersed into his body.

Actually, the so-called Mountain Crushing Fist cultivation method was to first destroy one's hands and arms, and then modify them by consuming Blazing Flame Grass on the outside. Finally, one would be able to practice an iron fist and an iron arm that could destroy a mountain rock with one punch.

Although Lu Fan was already prepared to learn the 'Collapsing Mountain Fist', he didn't expect it to be this painful.

But what had been decided, he would not change.

In order to save time for cultivation, he even brought with him sufficient food, tools, and clothes. He planned to stay in the Western Mountain for a dozen or twenty days until he could practice the Collapsing Mountain Fist and leave the world.

The sounds of cursing could still be heard in the forest. Lu Fan had already practiced for several hours.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was turning dark. It was snowing again.

Only when he could no longer lift his arms did Lu Fan finally stop.

The forest at night was desolate and cold. Lu Fan used his feet to pick up some branches, then used his feet to use flint to light a bonfire for himself.

After roasting the ice-cold food, Lu Fan quietly ate it in a cave.

This was also the reason why he chose this place as his training ground. It was because there was a cave that he could rest in here.

In the middle of the night, Lu Fan felt that his hands were able to move. He also applied some medicinal powder to himself, causing him to feel a burning pain as he rested against the rock wall.

Cultivating was always tough. Lu Fan looked out at the snow, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Over the next twenty days, Lu Fan immersed himself in cultivation.

During the past twenty days, Lu Fan had gotten used to practicing his arm to the point where it was badly mangled. He had also gotten used to the terrifying pain of continuing to cultivate after smearing medicinal powder on his arm.

From being unable to sleep after applying the medicinal powder, to being able to sleep after applying the medicinal powder and lying down after doing so, Lu Fan also felt that he was becoming more and more powerful. Not only that, after over twenty days of intense training, Lu Fan could sense that his body had also improved by leaps and bounds. He could feel his strength increasing every day.

As if he was flying, Lu Fan changed his fighting style to ravage the iron stone in front of him. The originally unharmed iron stone was now filled with cracks.

Suddenly, Lu Fan's movements stopped, followed by a force coming from his waist. Both fists brought about the sound of wind breaking, and he ruthlessly smashed onto the iron stone.

With a loud bang, a iron stone that was almost as tall as him was sent flying. It was split into two halves in midair.

Lu Fan looked at this scene with a smile on his face, then glanced at his own reddened arm. It seemed like the results of the training had already been achieved.

Collapsing Mountain Fist could be said to be a martial skill with many complex moves, but Lu Fan had been practicing it for the past half month. He slowly began to understand that the Collapsing Mountain Fist was actually just one move, a move that increased one's strength to the maximum extent.

The so-called 'all sorts of moves' were all for him to adapt to different methods, different times, and different angles to launch a different punch with explosive force.

After fumbling around for such a long time, Lu Fan had finally found a solution to the problem. That one punch just now was proof of that.

These past few days of suffering hadn't been in vain. Lu Fan picked up the stone and carefully examined it; it seemed that the effect was still a little lacking. According to the books, the Initial Stage should be filled with shattered stones and stones after one punch. Only then did he break into two, but he still didn't seem to be able to do it. However, he did not expect that such high level Mortal Realm martial skills were usually cultivated by people with Supreme Force. For a mere body refining fifth level to have such an effect with a single punch, it could already be considered more than just small success.

Frowning, Lu Fan turned around to look for another rock. In the past few days, he had broken quite a few rocks. However, the ones in front were full of cracks and couldn't be used because of the long period of time he had been beaten. And this, he hadn't even played for a day.

Walking up to a cliff, there were many broken rocks. Lu Fan had always been here searching for a suitable cultivation stone.

After searching for a while, Lu Fan discovered that he was unable to find any rocks that were as tall as a person. It seemed like he had finally finished them all. The stones here were either too big to move or too small. If he took them back, he could only throw them around.

After circling the cliff once, Lu Fan finally saw a satisfactory rock.

Reaching out with his hand, Lu Fan discovered that the stone was much larger than he had imagined. Lifting it up with all his might, he pulled the entire stone out.

However, the moment he pulled the stone out, Lu Fan saw a black hole.

Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat. First, he put the stone to the side and then walked in.

The hole seemed quite deep, and the deeper they went, the more spacious it felt. It was unknown where it came from, but the cave was flickering like a candle in the wind.

At this moment, Lu Fan suddenly saw a dazzling plant. Its entire body was silver, and its leaves were spread out like willow branches. In the middle of the plant was a small, silver-white flower.

daphnopteris fructus!

Lu Fan recognized it. It was a daphnopteris fructus.

Overjoyed, Lu Fan quickly walked up.

Seeing the daphnopteris fructus up close, Lu Fan was even more certain that it was without a doubt a spiritual medicine. Medicinal herbs were divided into nine grades, and above grade four was called spiritual medicine. The greatest characteristic of spiritual medicine was that it was very spiritual. When people or animals approached it, it would react.

Just as Lu Fan walked to the daphnopteris fructus's side, the entire daphnopteris fructus curled up, and its leaves tightly wrapped around the flower.

Lu Fan's face was full of excitement. A stalk of spiritual medicine could be said to be worth a lot of money. The most important thing was that spiritual medicine was of great benefit to a martial artist. Like the daphnopteris fructus in front of him, according to the records, swallowing them could increase a warrior's body recovery rate.

Even among the spirit medicines, daphnopteris fructus s were still of quite high quality. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a grade six medicinal herb. In the auction, the price of this herb was not much less than a single pill.

Today was truly a lucky day, being able to see it here.

Lu Fan carefully moved forward, peeling off the leaves of the daphnopteris fructus and taking the flower.

The moment he took out the flower, the leaves of the daphnopteris fructus quickly spread out. Lu Fan didn't pull out the roots. A heavenly treasure like this, it was fine as long as you took it. Destroying the roots was a great taboo. It could not be taken out of the heart of the heavens, and was despised by the world. If he left behind the foundation, there might be another daphnopteris fructus that would grow in another ten or twenty years.

Sitting down cross-legged, Lu Fan swallowed the flower in one gulp.

He wasn't willing to sell such precious medicinal materials, so he ate them all.

As the flower entered his stomach, Lu Fan felt a surge of ice-cold energy rise up from his stomach before rushing towards his limbs and bones like a torrent.

Lu Fan's entire body shook violently. He had still underestimated the medicinal strength contained within the elixir. The violent energy washed over his body, and he could feel blood starting to seep out of his skin.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Fan felt as if he had been too rash. He thought that all the medicinal herbs would be like medicinal pills, able to be digested very well. He never thought that if both could be digested like pills, what was the Qi Cultivator doing?

In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan had fallen into a perilous situation. If he wasn't able to absorb this tyrannical power, what awaited him would be his body exploding from the pressure of the medicinal pill. Suddenly, Lu Fan felt a wave of heat in front of him.

This heat wave was obviously not a natural wind, it was as if someone was exhaling into his face.

Lu Fan's entire body tensed, but he was unable to stand up. Because if he were to slightly move, the medicinal strength within his body would become even more berserk.

Beads of sweat dripped down from Lu Fan's forehead. He saw the shadow of a monster emerging from the flickering light.

Damn it, could it be that they encountered a dire beast?

Lu Fan's palms began to sweat. He finally understood what this hole was used for. It turned out that the stone he had just moved was someone's door board.

No one knew where a desolate beast lived. Weren't all the families in Jiang Lin city sending out fighters to sweep the city every year?

Why didn't anyone discover this place!?

The shadow of the dire beast was getting closer and closer, and it looked like it would appear soon.

Lu Fan's heart was filled with anxiety as the tyrannical power within his body surged even more violently.

Was he destined to die here today?

He was unwilling!
