I felt the changes in my body.

A slight smile appeared on Hu Long's lips.

His strength seems to have increased significantly again.

He had previously downloaded the "Born with Superpowers" app and then tested it at a training center.

Its maximum strength reached over 1,700 jin (approximately 850 kg).

In other words, the immense strength he was born with was directly superimposed on his body.

This is why he was able to easily lift the 1,200-jin (600 kg) deer cauldron during the ancestral sacrifice.

Now, his strength has reached at least two thousand jin.

This power is extremely terrifying; a single punch can blow someone's head off.

At this moment.

He felt he had found his purpose in life.

Before this, Hu Long simply wanted to live a good life.

But now things are different. He not only wants to survive, but also wants to become stronger.

See the view from a higher vantage point.

Humans are inherently insatiable creatures; once they have something good, they always want something better.

This is human nature.

But that's precisely why.

Only then can humanity have the motivation to keep moving forward.

With that thought in mind, Hu Long went to the bathroom.

Steam was rising from the bathtub on one side of the bathroom.

However, it's not water inside.

Instead, it was filled with a black liquid, but it carried a faint, fresh scent of herbs and trees.

Hu Long took off his only pair of pants and entered the bathtub naked.

hiss!

The instant the skin comes into contact with the black water.

Hu Longmian's skin twitched, and his whole body felt as if it had been scalded by kerosene.

Intense pain emanated from every pore of my body.

These black liquids are the secret medicine made from black stones for practicing the Mountain Standing Posture.

It is made from various precious medicinal herbs.

Hu Long didn't know exactly what it was, only that it was a secret medicine that was essential for use with the Lishan Zhuang (a type of traditional Chinese medicine).

If you don't practice with secret medicine.

Prolonged practice of stance training, even if it develops strength, can cause irreparable damage to the body's bones and organs.

This stuff really works! After soaking in it, all the soreness and swelling on my body disappeared.

The only downside is that it hurts a lot when you first soak it, like it's on fire.

No matter how many times you try, the pain is still so intense that you want to jump out of the bucket immediately.

Hu Long took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and ignored all of this.

Submerge your entire body in the water, leaving only your face above the surface to breathe.

At the same time, the earth vein breathing method recorded in the Lishan Zhuang (standing mountain stake) is activated, and breathing begins at a specific frequency.

Before long, the intense pain lessened considerably, replaced by a tingling sensation.

It brings both pain and pleasure.

A dozen minutes later.

The tingling, burning sensation disappeared.

Hu Long stood up.

At this point, the black liquid in the bathtub seemed to have lightened a bit.

That point was ignored.

He got up and rinsed off the black liquid residue on his body.

I just finished showering and changed into my pajamas.

Ding Dong!

Just then.

The phone placed to one side made a sound and the screen lit up.

Hu Long picked it up and glanced at it.

It was a news notification about a murder case.

Hu Long had followed the news for a few days after killing Xue Wu's family.

This should now fall under the category of big data push notifications.

Thinking about this...

He glanced at it.

[...Wang, the murderer who committed a shocking massacre and is responsible for eleven deaths, was recently found dead in his rented house.]

Police issued a statement today confirming that Wang's death was a homicide, based on on-site investigation and forensic examination.

Currently, the police have established a special task force to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the case and are thoroughly investigating Wang's social connections and background.

The deceased's portrait was also displayed at the bottom of the newspaper.

See here.

Hu Long's expression hardened.

If it were just an ordinary death, that would be fine.

Hu Long would naturally not react that way.

The reason for this was that he was very familiar with the deceased. It was none other than Wang Ting, the murderer who had previously used a disguise to massacre Xue Wu's family.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would only think it was a coincidence.

However, Hu Long, who knew the inside story, immediately made many connections.

It cannot be ruled out that the other party was targeted by an enemy seeking revenge.

After all, this man has a number of murders on his record, any one of which would be enough to warrant execution, and he has many enemies.

However, compared to this point...

Hu Long leans more towards the other possibility.

"Could it be the Pure Fire Cult?"

"If so, could it be for that incomplete Qingnang scroll...?"

Hu Long's eyes flickered.

He hadn't forgotten that it was Liu who stole this item and then went into hiding in Wushan Village.

The Pure Fire Cult, a heretical cult that has mastered the old techniques.

To have survived the encirclement and suppression by the Yu Kingdom's government, it's obvious that their strength is definitely not simple.

There must be extraordinary individuals among them.

If that's really the case, and the other party can't find him, will they target his whole family?

After all, Xue Wu was outwardly very close to Hu Zhao's family because of Hu Zhao.

According to the logic of this cult, it's better to kill than to let someone go.

Thinking of this.

He looked at the mirror on the wall.

A face with sharp, angular features was reflected in the mirror.

Short hair, high brow bones, well-defined features, and calm eyes.

The trapezius muscles from the neck to the shoulders are slightly bulging, which is noticeable at first glance.

It gives people a faint sense of oppression.

Compared to when he first came into this world, it's a world of difference; no one could imagine that this is a person.

However, that's not what Hu Long cares about.

He looked to one side.

Behind him was a wall, nothing else.

He moved, changing his angle.

soon.

A familiar dark green figure stood quietly by the door frame behind me.

It seems to be closer than before.

Her body wasn't completely turned away from him, but rather slightly turned to the side.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed upon them.

That thing seemed to be starting to move.

Upon seeing this, Hu Long immediately looked away and left the bathroom.

"Reaching the Body Forging Realm is still useless; it seems I must break through the Skin Polishing Realm."

Hu Long frowned.

The existence of this eerie figure is like a Damocles' sword that could fall at any moment.

It urges him to constantly become stronger.

"Moreover, the stronger I become, the closer this thing seems to get to me, and the faster it corrodes me."

No, the threat has indeed increased, but perhaps that's partly due to my heightened senses...

Hu Long's eyes flickered.

"Currently, there are only two ways to solve the problem."

Alternatively, one could continue to increase their strength, reaching the level of skin refining, or even a more powerful blood exchange, or the Yuan Dan (original core).

Alternatively, one could obtain other parts of the Qingnang Scroll from the remnants of the Jinghuo Sect, thereby completely resolving the problem.

Hu Long refused to believe that the Blood Soul Induction technique was unsolvable.

It's probably because the fragment of the Qingnang scroll was too incomplete. This thing came from the Jinghuo Sect, and there's a high chance that it contains a solution.

"However, to be precise, this is only one problem. If you're not strong enough, you'll still face certain death if you encounter the Pure Fire Sect..."

Thinking about this...

Hu Long glanced at the source value.

[Source Value: 2.16 strands]

The method of absorbing source value by basking in the sun is too slow.

Under normal circumstances, even with sunny days every day, you only get three strands of source value per month.

Even in places with the midnight sun, where it shines 24 hours a day, there are only six rays of sunlight a month.

He couldn't wait that long.

You must prepare as early as possible.

It's just a pity that he originally wanted to rely on his own efforts to cultivate.

But reality simply didn't give him the time to work hard and improve.

It seems I can only use a vegetarian noodle board to help me out for now.
