Chapter 208: Chapter 181: Star Stone (Level 30)! [New month, seeking monthly pass!]

’Monkey Form’ Divine Mastery!

’Divine Movement Transformation’, ’Baji Fist’ research completed.

These ten days.

Yan Chuan has gained so much in Shuilian Cave.

Not only in martial arts.

But also in Qi Power, drinking hundreds to thousands of jin of Monkey Wine, frantically refining, the increase in Qi Power is beyond measure, simply terrifying.

However, on this day, it’s time to leave.

The session of Yan Chuan teaching boxing ended, yet the Iron-Arm Monkeys were still unsatisfied—

"Ya ya!"

An Iron-Arm Monkey shouted, and soon—

Bang!

Outside the cave, a giant beast fell down, nearly one zhang tall and two zhang long, like a mountain, its whole body exuding a rock-like white color, with a strong and sharp white horn on its buffalo-like head, eyes glowing green.

This is—

"White Horned Water Rhinoceros!"

This is an amphibious alien beast, mostly living in water but also able to survive on land. The elite among adult White Horned Water Rhinoceroses can even threaten Innate Masters, famous for its immense strength and ability to spew a white mist.

At this moment, this beast, this fierce creature, was thoroughly dead, its entire corpse being hung by the Iron-Arm Monkeys from above the Shuilian Cave entrance, with two Iron-Arm Monkeys holding the ropes tied to the White Horned Water Rhinoceros, climbing the ropes, and then over seventy Iron-Arm Monkeys grasping the ropes exerting force together in the Gravity Domain—

"Hey!"

The corpse of the White Horned Water Rhinoceros was gradually dragged over.

Then.

Offered to Yan Chuan!

...

"White Horned Water Rhinoceros!"

"This white horn, what a treasure!"

At first sight, Yan Chuan noticed the ’white horn’, an excellent material for crafting a treasure bow.

Then, he noticed the rhinoceros hide of the White Horned Water Rhinoceros—

"Tenacity!"

"Thick!"

"Corrosion resistance!"

Yan Chuan’s eyes lit up.

Such a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, such a rhinoceros hide, if used to tan leather armor, its defensive power would likely be no less than the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’ on his body.

Moreover, unlike the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’ which is only vest-sized, this ’leather armor’ could be made to cover the entire body, limbs, torso, hands and feet, including the head, leaving only two eyes and two ears for seeing and hearing, at most leaving two hands to punch, two feet to kick.

"Once the leather armor is made, and then strengthened with ’Spiritual’."

"At that time—"

Yan Chuan’s heart was moved.

If he had such armor to protect himself, he could stand invincible, attacking only without defense, as long as he protected his eyes and ears, there would be no weak spots, no vulnerabilities.

The only thing to pay attention to here is the flexibility of the leather armor, whether it would hinder the extension of fists and feet, and the use of Inner Strength and Inner Power.

Using white horn rhinoceros hide to make armor!

It’s easy to say, but truly doing it, truly wanting to wear it without affecting flexibility and other aspects, besides the protective ability, wanting the armor to feel as if it wasn’t there, the difficulty is too high.

"The enhancement of ’Treasure Rock’ has too much uncertainty."

"It’s best to find an armor crafting master to use this rhinoceros hide, build a good foundation for the leather armor, then strengthen it later, there’s hope to upgrade it to my ideal model."

This won’t be easy.

Yan Chuan could only think about it for now, likely difficult to accomplish temporarily.

But this White Horned Water Rhinoceros, this white horn, this hide, he accepted it.

Took in the benefits.

But Yan Chuan could only politely decline the Iron-Arm Monkey group’s invitation to stay—

...

Twang twang twang~

Three arrows fired in succession—

"All good things must come to an end."

After disassembling and breaking down the White Horned Water Rhinoceros with the Iron-Arm Monkey group, Yan Chuan shot three arrows, making nearly a hundred Iron-Arm Monkeys in the cave retreat first.

"Ya ya!"

The monkeys were reluctant to part, but under Yan Chuan’s threatening arrows, they slowly retreated.

Now, only Yan Chuan and the four others, including Cao Jun, remained in the cave.

He held a leather flask and said to the four, "You four go to the cave entrance first, later I’ll put away the ’Heavy Mountain Shield’, be ready for escape."

"Master Yan!"

Cao Jun looked at Yan Chuan, suddenly reluctant.

Not just Cao Jun.

Cao Yan, Wan Tianyang, and Tang Han were also reluctant.

In these days of being with Yan Chuan, though their actions were constrained, and their safety unstable, they were in the ’Gravity Domain’, a treasure land for body refinement, with enough ’Monkey Wine’, in seven short days, four people drank up nearly a hundred jin combined.

Most importantly, Yan Chuan kept teaching boxing, liked to expand, not just boxing, but also covered Inner Strength, Qinggong, and many other aspects, teaching deeply and thoroughly, making them all greatly improved.

Especially in the ’Twelve Forms’ of ’Xingyi Boxing’, after exposure and mastery, it greatly promoted their cultivation in the ’Pure Blood’ stage.

Abundant wealth!

Great opportunity!

They naturally couldn’t bear to see Yan Chuan go, wishing to stay here for ten days, ten months, even ten years, to achieve ’Blood Condensation’ in one go!

What a pity!

What they thought was nice.

But Yan Chuan had already reached the pinnacle of benefit from them and from the Iron-Arm Monkeys, the ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’ had tapped all it could, from now on, the streams wouldn’t provide much help to Yan Chuan.

Besides—

’Water Essence’ has been used up.

’Monkey Wine’ is of little benefit to Yan Chuan now.

The ’Monkey Wine’ in the wine pool is not abundant either.

And over in Great Yan, the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ is about to commence.

Considering all aspects.

Yan Chuan should leave.

"You four, until we meet again!"

Yan Chuan cupped his fists, gesturing for them to go to the cave entrance.

Though Cao Jun and others were reluctant, reluctant to leave Yan Chuan, reluctant to leave Monkey Wine, seeing Yan Chuan determined, they didn’t dare disobey, only to clasp fists to Yan Chuan and then move towards the entrance.

Once they moved to the entrance, their view obscured by the shield, Yan Chuan finally acted.

He moved the ’White Horn’ and ’Rhinoceros Hide’ of the ’White Horned Water Rhinoceros’ left by the Iron-Arm Monkeys to the back of the shield, then used the leather flask to pack all the remaining ’Monkey Wine’ in the wine pool. In these ten days, ’Monkey Wine’ was consumed by him and the four of Cao Jun’s group totaling over a thousand jin, with Cao Jun’s four combined having nearly a hundred jin, Yan Chuan alone consumed over a thousand jin, unbelievable!

After consuming so much, now only about four hundred jin of Monkey Wine remained in the wine pool, all taken by Yan Chuan in one go.

Move mountains like Yu Gong!

Yan Chuan moved wine!

Bit by bit, trip by trip, moved behind the Heavy Mountain Shield.

After working for nearly four hours, he finally finished.

Look at the white horn.

Look at the rhinoceros hide.

Then look at the Monkey Wine.

"’Mustard Space’ not enough!"

The ’Mustard Space’ of the 27th level Star Stone is only one foot square, about 0.037 cubic meters, only able to hold about seventy jin of water.

Four hundred jin of Monkey Wine can’t fit in.

Let alone the white horn and rhinoceros hide.

"Upgrade first!"

Yan Chuan recently completed the ’Divine Movement Transformation’ and ’Baji Fist’ two Xin level tasks in succession, ’Spiritual’ skyrocketed by ten thousand, perfect timing—

[Miracle Item·Star Stone (Level 30): Naturally formed, able to absorb ’Qi-Blood’ and ’Star’ power, to shuttle through closely overlapping worlds. (Traits: Star Realm Gate, Mustard Space, Gravity Domain, Insight into All Heavens)]

(Not upgradeable yet)

(Searching for compatible materials.)

(Search complete, materials sorted by fitting degree—)

(① Star Stone *2)

...

Star Stone!

Level 30!

’Mustard Space’ instantly increased to three feet square, exactly one cubic meter, capable of holding up to two thousand jin of water, enough to hold four hundred jin of Monkey Wine and the white horn and rhinoceros hide.

Yan Chuan upgraded the ’Star Stone’, in order to upgrade ’Mustard Space’.

But after the ’Star Stone’ reached level 30, an additional trait appeared—

"Insight into All Heavens?"

Yan Chuan didn’t touch the Star Stone, for the time being, he didn’t know what this trait specifically entailed, but he wasn’t in a rush, not urgent now, he could study it after leaving.

As for now.

Escape is the priority.

"Collect!"

Yan Chuan took aloud, first collecting the ’Heavy Mountain Shield’, shrinking it to palm size, then instantly took out the Star Stone pressed beneath the Heavy Mountain Shield, upon touching the Star Stone—

"Gravity Domain, collect!"

"Mustard Space, open!"

A thought arises.

A thought falls.

Gravity dissipates, and the body felt light, free.

At the cave entrance.

Cao Jun and the other four kept watching the Heavy Mountain Shield, paying attention to Yan Chuan’s every move. Before the Heavy Mountain Shield blocked the view, they couldn’t see Yan Chuan, couldn’t see what he was doing.

But after Yan Chuan put away the Heavy Mountain Shield, they immediately saw—

Yan Chuan made a swipe with his hand, and the white horn and rhinoceros hide beside him instantly disappeared, along with a leather barrel, the hundreds of jin of Monkey Wine along with the barrel vanished.

"The world in the palm?"

"Qiankun in the sleeve?"

The four widened eyes.

But this was no time for shock or distraction; once Yan Chuan put away the shield and the Star Stone, he moved like there was oil on his soles, darting towards the cave entrance, six or seven zhang, in an instant—

"Flee for your lives!"

Yan Chuan moved like a gust, reaching them instantly, as if shrinking the land to inches, crossing six or seven zhang in one step.

The speed was too fast!

Too exceedingly fast!

"What exquisite Qinggong!" Cao Yan was also a Qinggong expert, but seeing Yan Chuan, felt inferior, yet he reacted quickly. The moment the Gravity Domain disappeared, the moment Yan Chuan moved, he shouted to Cao Jun and the other three, bursting, "Go!"

The four sprang!

Rushing together!

The moment for escaping for their lives had arrived!

...

"He’s too fast!"

"What is that Qinggong?"

Cao Yan went first, clinging to the cliff wall downwards, coiling silk power wrapping the wall, already very fast. But at the corner of his eye, he saw a figure, Yan Chuan himself, darting east, swaying west, walking on the cliff wall as if on flat ground, too fast, too much faster than him.

This Qinggong!

Truly exquisite!

Yan Chuan’s thoughts united, footsteps on ’Divine Movement Transformation’, reaching the utmost speed.

The complete version, Xin level One Star’s ’Divine Movement Transformation’, far surpassed the previous simplified, castrated version.

The biggest difference between the two versions is—

The castrated version essentially was still a movement technique, evolved from the movement technique and stepping technique of boxing, focusing more on skill, maximizing the skill, allowing even those with low or no martial arts skills to use this technique to dart left and right, erratic and unpredictable, possessing a self-preservation power.

Marvelous indeed!

But in the end, its upper limit was low.

The full version of ’Divine Movement Transformation’ is different. This Qinggong must be based on deep Inner Strength, driven by profound Inner Power, and supported by extremely fast body speed, only then can the full marvel of ’Divine Movement Transformation’ be completely displayed.

And Yan Chuan—

Practicing ’Mixed Element Skill’, a profound Inner Strength, with a solid foundation.

Dual practice of ’Xingyi Boxing’, boxing mastery, Inner Strength promotes ’Mixed Element Skill’, Yan Chuan’s strength at this time can also be called terrifying, having reached comparable to Qi-blood limit-breaking level, with profound Inner Power.

As for body speed, there’s no need to mention.

Already strong originally.

This time, guzzling a thousand jin of ’Monkey Wine’ in the Shuilian Cave, Yan Chuan’s strength increased tremendously, his physical quality increased by an unimaginable margin!

Inner Strength!

Inner Power!

Physique!

Yan Chuan was overwhelmingly strong, incredibly strong!

On this basis, activating ’Divine Movement Transformation’ was truly fast, fast beyond limits!
