In the training room in the Sacred Land, Fang Xingjian was still trying to sense his own body.
He first treated his eyes. The main reason was that when the poison had entered his brain back then, it had destroyed the parts related to his vision. However, he was now able to control his own cells and slowly treat his blindness.
Although he could now see further with his Heaven's Perception, his blindness was still a flaw. If he left it untreated, it would affect his ability to condense specialty seeds.
After one day and one night, when Fang Xingjian opened his eyes once again, they were pitch-black. This was the effect of his specialty, Darkness Sword Sense, after his blindness had been treated. However, he controlled his vision cells and very quickly got rid of this abnormality, allowing him to appear no different from how he was before.
Fang Xingjian then started to sense his specialties.
He had 14 specialties to begin with, and now, he could sense his body in all aspects. He could even control his body's cells, allowing him to change his physical body to a certain extent.
This was different from when he was at level 23, where he could vaguely sense physical particles. That was a blurry feeling, and he could only sense it but not control it. Therefore, he could only absorb thunderbolts violently to strengthen the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces between the particles.
Right now, his level 25 Cell Control Ability allowed him to freely control the circulation of the cells in his body.
Under his detailed senses, he could sense hints of strange light circulating throughout his body, continuously strengthening his powers. If he took a deeper look, he would discover that a total of six streams of aura were rising incessantly from his head, chest, arms, waist, and back.
Specialties were the special abilities that one possessed after going through tough training in the outside world to stimulate the power of the specialty seeds in one's body.
There were 1,440 internal specialties and 9,270 external specialties.
Internal specialties referred to the 1,440 specialty seeds that all Conferred Knights could condense, while external specialties referred to the 9,270 specialties that were related to equipment. However, not all of them needed to be cultivated.
For example, Fang Xingjian's Unparalleled Sword Intent - Apex, Sword Bones, Swordless Path, Darkness Sword Sense, and Heavenly Sword Imprint were external specialties.
Elementary Survival Instinct, Internal Healing, Internal Training, Sword Specialist, Heightened Reflexes, Perfect Muscles, and many others were internal specialties.
To be able to condense 1,440 internal specialties and make one's physical body extremely strong meant that one had attained great perfection in condensing specialty seeds.
This was something that Conferred Knights had always been pursuing. However, even after reaching level 29, it was still difficult for them to achieve it.
'The more specialty seeds one condenses, the stronger one's physical body will be. With the same five attributes, one will also be able to unleash a greater prowess.
'Recently, my Zenith Light Sword Formation, Prodigious Demolition Sword, and Ether Sword Ripples have all reached a bottleneck. I've synthesized many sets of Killing techniques, but they haven't improved much. I'm afraid that without a few unrivalled sword techniques, I won't be able to improve any further.'
'From now on, I might as well spend my energy on condensing specialty seeds. Before I obtain even more powerful sword techniques, I won't be able to cultivate sword arts for now. '
Thinking of this, Fang Xingjian walked out of the door. He was going to condense his specialty seeds.
A day later, the room was filled with countless treasures of heaven and earth.
"Ten kilograms of Dragon Snake Grass. It can greatly increase the user's strength. Combined with 152 other precious medicinal herbs, one can obtain the Intermediate Berserk ability."
Robert introduced, "There's also this bottle of Abyss Demonic Blood. Using it as the main ingredient to undergo a blood bath, one can improve further and obtain the Advanced Berserk ability."
Fang Xingjian nodded. Looking at the various items in the room, he smiled. These items had cost him all 350,000, but they had also allowed him to condense at least 50 specialty seeds.
If he were to rely solely on his own hard work, slowly controlling his cells to modify his physical body and obtain specialties, he would need to spend at least two to three years.
"Let's begin." Fang Xingjian picked up the Dragon Snake Grass and started to combine it with the other medicinal herbs to undergo a medicinal bath.
A few minutes later, he felt waves of medicinal effects gushing wildly into his body. He tried hard to control his cells, allowing the medicinal effects to penetrate deep into the specialty seeds in his chest, incessantly stimulating the powers of the specialty seeds.
Right now, Fang Xingjian was able to control his cells to accelerate the stimulation of specialty seeds, and his Elementary Berserk ability continued to advance toward the Intermediate Berserk ability. This was a training at the cellular level, and it was many times more powerful than purely external cultivation and the stimulation from medicinal baths.
Fang Xingjian could sense streams of weak aura slowly rising from the location of his heart. It was the aura of a new specialty seed.
Elementary Berserk ability, Intermediate Berserk ability, and Advanced Berserk ability... A total of three specialty seeds were located at the location of his heart.
The Elementary Berserk ability strengthened the cultivator's physical strength and recovery ability, stimulating one specialty seed. The Intermediate Berserk ability would stimulate a second specialty seed, further strengthening one's physical strength and recovery ability. As long as one's body had sufficient energy, they would be able to recover their physical strength just by taking a breath. Their physical strength would be as strong as that of a ferocious beast.
In the following days, Fang Xingjian almost never left his house. He focused all his efforts on condensing specialty seeds, tempering his attributes, and increasing his ether synchronization rate.
Fang Xingjian continued to stay indoors until mid-December. Other than occasionally getting people to bring him the Knight's handbook to take a look at the most cutting-edge sword arts research, he seemed to be cut off from the rest of the world. Even Robert and the others had only seen him once or twice.
That was when December arrived and another million came into his account. Fang Xingjian wanted to cultivate the fifth level of the mystical prints and purchase new materials to condense specialties.
The only person who came into contact with him the most was probably Head of Department James. It was because Fang Xingjian would often request for James to spar with him.
However, after stepping into the fifth level of the mystical prints, Fang Xingjian's aptitude once again experienced a tremendous increase. His aura became increasingly deep and unfathomable. Even James, the Governor from two generations ago, would sometimes be unable to tell if Fang Xingjian had used his full power when they fought.
The only thing James could be sure of was that after Fang Xingjian had entered level 25, his abilities would change almost every day. It was as if he was increasing at an exponential rate.
When ordinary people reached level 25, they would be able to condense specialty seeds and increase their abilities at a rapid rate.
However, when compared to the current Fang Xingjian, that sort of rapid increase was like the difference between clouds and mud.
However, with Fang Xingjian single-mindedly hiding in the Sacred Land to cultivate, some people started to feel anxious.
...
In a small alley in the Great Western City, two silhouettes stood side by side.
One of them said in an aged voice, "This Fang Xingjian hides in the Sacred Land all the time. There's no way for us to come into contact with him, let alone take him away."
"We've already waited for a month. It's impossible for the Lord to allow us to continue waiting like this." The person who spoke had a clear voice, and it seemed to be a lady.
The old man said, "Then what should we do? We can't possibly barge into the Regional Academy, right?"
"The Regional Academy is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There's even Governor James from two generations ago and Governor Devitt from this generation. It's impossible for us to barge in," the lady said. "Then the only way is to lure him out."
"Lure him out? How? "the old man asked.
"There's a good saying. 'Hit the young, and the old will come.' Fang Xingjian is the old, and those people under him are naturally the young. Moreover, it's not like he has no relatives or friends. " The lady smiled. "I heard that he has a female disciple who's studying in a school in the Great Western City?"
"If we do this … we won't alert the enemy, right?" The old man asked hesitantly, "It's just a woman. At Fang Xingjian's level, what kind of woman can he not have?"
"Hmph, I heard that that female student was taught by Fang Xingjian in the past. If we capture her now, I don't believe that he won't come out."
"But with Governor Devitt around …"
"Then we'll think of a way. Even Divine level experts have times when their minds wander, let alone Devitt. There'll definitely be a chance."
The old man stood under the light, revealing the brown skin and yellow eyes that were unique to people from the Sand Country.
'In order to retrieve Lord Domirov's remains, this is the only way.'
…
In a luxurious manor in the Great Western City, a young master chuckled as he hugged a female servant. As he stroked her body, he smiled and said, "That Fang Xingjian has been hiding like a tortoise for over a month, unwilling to come out."
The old man next to him bowed and said, "He's offended so many influences. Of course, he won't dare to come out easily.
"But I can't possibly continue wasting time with him like this." The young man shook his head. With his exquisite skin and rosy lips, he appeared extremely feminine. He said in a sharp voice, "The Archbishop has requested for me to return before the end of the year. What's the point of dragging things out like this?
"I can only think of a way to lure him out."
