Chapter 146: Dead Men Tell No Secrets

Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders as he sat to the side on the sandy beach. He gazed silently at the tide which bubbled up. “Aside from believing that you yourself are infallible, forcing yourself to cultivate… I share the burden of the blame for your injury this time. This is why I haven’t lowered myself to argue with you. Your dantian region is already un.o.bstructed. It is possible for me to help you recover your remaining two-thirds of true energy in this order. However, in this case, it is better for you to reclaim it on your own. You will grow quite a bit from it.”
Lin Jiaxuan knew that what Qin Fen said wasn’t false. She was silent for a moment before she asked, somewhat embarra.s.sed, “That cultivation technique you gave me… Are there latter parts?”
“There should be?” Qin Fen said, somewhat uncertain, “let me collect my true energy first, and I will think about it properly. I’ll see how to design the latter levels of the cultivation technique, see what would be best.”
Lin Jiaxuan had just collected her true energy. When she heard Qin Fen’s words, her shock nearly caused her to lose control of her energy once more. She asked, not quite daring to believe him, “You need to properly think about it? So are you saying you don’t have it right now?”
“That’s right.” Qin Fen didn’t hide it. “The things you cultivated in were things I came up with on the spot. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
Lin Jiaxuan stared at Qin Fen stunned. She really suspected that she had gone insane from her cultivation, causing her to mishear his words. Even a master level expert would need to deliberate and ponder over and over for even a creating the simplest body strengthening cultivation technique. The Jade Girl Heart Sutra was a high-level internal cultivation technique. One had to be incomparably more cautious and careful with it. One probably would need to deliberate and swap pointers with experts on the same level. One would need to consume much time to have the chance to create such a technique.
To be able to create such a high-level cultivation technique just by blowing along with the ocean breeze, watching the ocean waves, and taking a nap… not only had Lin Jiaxuan not seen such a case before, she hadn’t even heard of such a case before.
Perhaps, the Earth Martial G.o.d Song Wendong who possessed the t.i.tle of a mythological beast could be able to do it! But this was absolutely not something a young man who just graduated high school and joined the military should be able to do.
Qin Fen spoke no further. It had been a long time ago since the last time he engaged in creating the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. Right now he needed to recall the circ.u.mstances of the time and tried to go down the same flow.
Another wave of the tide rushed over, and Lin Jiaxuan’s T-s.h.i.+rt was lifted up by quite a bit from the tide’s water, reviewing her glossy and smooth underbelly. If another tide of water were to rise up, this would push her T-s.h.i.+rt up her chest and let her b.r.e.a.s.t.s be revealed to the young Qin Fen next to her.
Worried that such a situation would happen, Lin Jiaxuan promptly entered a meditative state. She began to collect the true energy that was in disorder within her body at maximal speed.
An hour’s worth of time pa.s.sed, and Lin Jiaxuan barely recovered most of the true energy within her body. She had been unable to move her four limbs at all during this time, so they gradually began to feel numb.
It was yet another rising tide. The ocean water quickly pushed her T-s.h.i.+rt, instantly revealing half of her tender white b.r.e.a.s.t.s. At this time, Qin Fen just so happened to recover from his state of contemplation. Lin Jiaxuan saw Qin Fen turn his neck, and her limbs, which had been numb and unmovable, could suddenly be moved thanks to an intense stimulation from her mind. She hurried to pull down her T-s.h.i.+rt, and she simply took a large step and jumped into the ocean. Her entire body was now submerged within the ocean. All that was left was her head revealed through the surface of the ocean.
Lin Jiaxuan’s small face turned very red at this time. She was incapable of figuring out whether her hand had been quick enough or if Qin Fen’s eyes were quicker. Had her chest, which had been on the verge of coming out in the open, been completely seen by Qin Fen?
She looked at Qin Fen’s pair of tranquil eyes. She wanted to ask, but she didn’t dare to. This man’s eyes couldn’t be said to be super clean. Instead, they should be described as far too tranquil and calm. She was very scared to hear Qin Fen say in a tranquil manner that he had seen her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and that they were quite decent.
If she were to truly hear such words, Lin Jiaxuan didn’t dare guarantee that she wouldn’t go mad on the spot and strive to think of a way to eliminate Qin Fen – to silence him by killing him, for dead men tell no secrets.
Lin Jiaxuan felt a wave of powerlessness run through her body she thought about silencing by killing. This recruit’s combat power was not like those of your typical strong soldier. She really couldn’t defeat him, let alone silence him by killing him. She could only court disgrace.
Qin Fen’s lips twitched two times. It was good that she ran into the water. This way he could save himself the trouble and awkwardness of facing a woman who was completely soaked with water.
“Done thinking yet?”
Lin Jiaxuan didn’t have Qin Fen’s patience. She took the initiative to open her mouth and ask him.
Qin Fen shook his head. “I’m not completely done yet. The latter concepts, when looked into, are indeed very complicated…”
Contrary to his expectations, Lin Jiaxuan smiled. This recruit, who let one be shocked time and time again, had finally given off a feeling that he was normal.
“Therefore, I have only been able to think of two levels of the internal cultivation technique…”
Qin Fen gave a slow explanation, and Lin Jiaxuan’s smile was completely frozen.
Two levels of an internal cultivation technique? He created two levels of an internal cultivation technique in a mere hour? Lin Jiaxuan didn’t know what to say for some time. She had met the Earth Martial G.o.d Song Wendong before, but she was confident that if given an hour’s worth of time, even Song Wendong might not be able to create an entire internal cultivation technique.
“Are you sure… that there are no problems with the two levels of your internal cultivation technique?”
Lin Jiaxuan couldn’t help but ask a probing question. This information was way too hard for her to accept.
“There shouldn’t be any problems.” Qin Fen was very confident. “It’s just that the latter two levels of the internal cultivation technique will have a bit of a problem when you make your breakthrough. I have pondered over it for a long time, and I haven’t found a good way to resolve it. You can only do it in this way with great difficulty for the time being.”
A hint of worry rose in the bottom of Lin Jiaxuan’s heart. She probed with another question. “What is the problem?”
“Simply speaking, you will be able to feel you are on the eve of a breakthrough before breaking through to the second level, but this breakthrough will require a lot of time. And it needs to be done in one go. Stopping in the middle will require you to start over from the very beginning.” Qin Fen’s two hands touched the beach as he warmed up his shoulders. “In theory, this is impossible for you. Or in other words, anybody who cultivates in this cultivation technique will be unable to make a breakthrough in one go.”
“What?” Lin Jiaxuan stared blankly at Qin Fen. “Then you are saying that it’s better to just think of one level?”
“It is indeed two levels.” Qin Fen emphasized once more as he said, “When you reach that impa.s.se, you will need to find a martial artist on the same level as you or a martial artist one star higher than you. Two stars higher than you is too much. And the martial artist needs to be a someone who cultivates in the Firm Yang internal cultivation technique. In addition, his power must be able to last for a prolonged period of time. You will put your palms together, and he will help you get through the breakthrough.”
“Why does it have to be a cultivator of the Firm Yang internal cultivation technique?” Lin Jiaxuan asked once more. “My Jade Girl Heart Sutra should be neutral in nature…”
“After I altered the technique, the technique has become slanted towards Yin.” Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “If you cultivate by force by yourself, your blood vessels will freeze. At that point, not even a Firm Yang cultivator can help you. Oh, that’s right! It’s best for you to find someone trustworthy. This is because both of you will have to be naked when the time comes. The true energy of firm Yang will cause your blood and energy to boil. There cannot be any obstructions whatsoever.”
…
Lin Jiaxuan’s entire self became stupefied when she heard up to this point. She looked at Qin Fen with incomparable dismay. On that day, when her father had yet to be investigated, she had planned to rely on her father’s authority as a general and sought to find a cultivator in a firm Yang internal cultivation who was also a woman. It was very rare for women to cultivate in such techniques, but she thought it was possible to find such a person.
But now? Lin Jiaxuan could only smile wryly after her father was investigated, even her fiancé of the past, who was just like a housefly, remained at a respectful distance. He utilized the methods to have her transferred to this recruit training camp. There was no need to say just what sort of att.i.tude others might have when they find out that she needed help.
Qin Fen stood up and gently warmed up his four limbs. Not only had he been pondering over the cultivation method of the Jade girl heart Sutra as he watched the ocean and listen to the trees, at the same time, he was pondering over the Guardian Deity Chaotic Dance. He pondered how to create a perfect fusion between this, the only explosive attack of the Guardian Deity Fist, and the Raging Berserker Tide. He wanted to create a truly genuine certain-kill move that belongs solely to himself.
Qin Fen acted as if n.o.body else was present as he walked around endlessly on the sandy sh.o.r.e. His entire self suddenly came from a peaceful calm into a hysteria. The ocean waters bubbling up the sh.o.r.e time and time again had given him quite the inspiration. This time he struck out with all his strength. The golden sands beneath his feet floated up around his body. The golden sands were akin to the great billowing waves of the ocean. They undulated endlessly up and down around Qin Fen’s body.
Lin Jiaxuan watched him, forgetting everything else. As the only daughter of the general, she had encountered many fist techniques in her life. It wasn’t that she had never seen techniques that were much stronger than the unfamiliar palm technique before her eyes.
However, in terms of aura and power, the techniques that can compare to this palm technique were indeed very few in number.
A faint majestic aura seeped through this crazy and wild set of fist techniques of Qin Fen’s. Anyone who stood nearby and watched him could feel an aura as majestic as the ocean. It was as if its might was far above what was shown. If the user strength could reach the five-star level, then the display would be that of an entirely different heaven and earth.
The palm technique was struck out a few times, and Qin Fen’s true energy was greatly consumed. Such a certain-kill ultimate move would cause an enormous load to the body every time it was unleashed. Even someone as powerful as Qin Fen feels the same weariness. The body would also have large amounts of sweat flood out of it as well.
Qin Fen adjusted his body for a moment, then he raised his head in great delight and he gave a long carefree whistle. Not only could he win against a five-star martial artist with this palm technique, in a life or death fight, there was also the chance to simply annihilate his opponent’s life.
Qin Fen clenched his hands into fists very tightly. He felt the throbbing of power within his body. He gently told himself, “On the battle network, if someone is watching my fights, I should do my best not to use the certain-kill move. Those people will record videos and spread them out, and this might not be a good thing for me.”
Lin Jiaxuan watched as Qin Fen slowly walked further into the distance before ultimately fading away into the night. Only then did she walked back to the seash.o.r.e. The night’s ocean water was ice cold. Her body, recently injured, could still feel the freezing temperature when she was in the water.
She looked left and right to make sure that there weren’t any people, then Lin Jiaxuan quickly took out her military uniform from her metal box. Then she quickly removed the wet T-s.h.i.+rt that stuck to her body…
Rustle…
Qin Fen, who had faded into the darkness, appeared once more at a distance that wasn’t even thirty meters away from Lin Jiaxuan. The instant he saw the upper half of Lin Jiaxuan’s body bare, his mind slipped, and the sands beneath his feet let out the sound.
Quiet… quiet…
Lin Jiaxuan was stunned for a full second before she snapped back to reality and lifted her arms to block the front of her chest. She shouted sternly, “Evil pervert!”
Qin Fen’s entire self was stupefied in place as well. Originally, he had wanted to know how she knew his phone number, so he had planned to ask her.
In the end, he never thought he would see such an erotic scene.
“You’re still looking?” Lin Jiaxuan’s long and shapely eyebrows furrowed in fury. She promptly squatted down and picked up her clothes to cover up her body. However, she still had a certain feeling that clothes were incapable of blocking Qin Fen’s gaze.
Qin Fen sighed. It looked like today really wasn’t suited for him to ask about the issue with his cell phone number. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was infused into his two legs as he flickered into the night once more.
Lin Jiaxuan carefully change clothes. She had an extremely complicated gaze as she looked in the direction where Qin Fen disappeared. This man had come and saved her, but he had also profaned her fleshly body. Should she be hating him? Or should she be thanking him? He wouldn’t talk to others about tonight’s matter, right?
