Superior Realm
“Dead?”

Fang Qiu employed his Divine Consciousness to check and found that his punch actually caused the barb on the scaled lizard’s throat to be directly pushed into its stomach.

This sight struck Fang Qiu dumb.

But he gave it some thought—

This scaled lizard had just made a breakthrough. Although it got barbs on its throat, the scales on its belly had not yet been changed. Moreover, its throat was also its weakness.

Even though the breakthrough and evolution had begun to complement its weakness, that wasn’t any help. The lizard was really out of luck to have bumped into Fang Qiu.

For the lizard, his kind of situation was just sad.

Although the ranking of the Vigor Grass was only in the middle of the Heaven Treasures List, if one were to compare it with the rest herbs in terms of its miracle-working effect, the Vigor Grass would definitely be ranked in the top 10!

This was also what had been bothering Fang Qiu.

If he didn’t eat it, considering the raging internal Qi inside him, he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.

And the crucial part was that the Vigor Grass was only three hours away from ripening.

“If I continue to forcefully suppress my internal Qi, perhaps I’ll only be able to hold on for two hours!”

Fang Qiu frowned with a stern look.

“What should I do? What should I do?”

Just when Fang Qiu was deeply worried, his eyes fell on the flowers and plants next to the Vigor Grass.

Looking around, he found that there were still a lot of plants on the oasis.

“That’s right!”

Looking at these plants, Fang Qiu’s eyes suddenly lit up. He muttered, “This plant has existed for at least decades, which means this oasis has existed for several decades. So do the plants on the oasis. And they’ve never withered at all.”

“Since the lizards in this cave can all mutate, then these flowers and grass should also be able to do it, right?”

“Even if they haven’t mutated, they should have all absorbed some Qi of Heaven and Earth. Maybe it can help me stabilize my meridians for a while!”

Without further ado, Fang Qiu immediately reached out to pick up a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.

“Hum?”

“There’s really the Qi of Heaven and Earth!”

Fang Qiu was surprised.

Although the grass didn’t taste very good, Fang Qiu did feel the Qi of Heaven and Earth in it.

Owing to the Vigor Grass, the nearby grass containing the Qi of Heaven and Earth actually carried the energy of life.

After taking the grass, his life energy immediately rushed forward.

It raced toward Fang Qiu’s meridians and helped him seal his meridians. With that, he finally calmed down some of the frenetic internal Qi in his meridians.

“It surely works!”

Overjoyed, Fang Qiu at once began to eat the grass on the oasis in large mouthfuls. He even tried the flowers.

In the end, it took him an entire hour to completely devour all the flowers and grass on the oasis.

Nonetheless, the hour was well spent.

The life energy in these flowers and grass helped Fang Qiu appease the restless internal Qi in his meridians and so earned him six more hours.

“It’s enough to hold me over until the Vigor Grass matures!”

Fang Qiu heaved with a sigh of relief.

But on second thought, since the Vigor Grass was so magical that it could stimulate the mutation of the lizard, it would be a waste if he just devoured it like that.

What was more, Fang Qiu found this oasis quite appealing.

At least, this land had been immersed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth carried by the Vigor Grass for decades. If Fang Qiu planted Chinese herbs here, it would definitely be a big hit!

However, the internal Qi had almost reached the bursting point, which became very difficult to suppress. Fang Qiu knew he must eat the Vigor Grass. Even though he had gained himself six hours, it was almost impossible to find any other Heaven Treasure that could replace the Vigor Grass within that time.

Even if he could find it, the Vigor Grass would mature in two hours.

If Fang Qiu left to look for other Heaven Treasures, given that there was no guardian beast here, any small animal might come here and eat the Vigor Grass in one bite.

“Gotta eat it anyway!”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu shook his head helplessly.

“In two hours, when the Vigor Grass matures, I must eat it at once. I won’t give other creatures any chance.”

“This place is rich with the Qi of Heaven and Earth. It’s a good place to make a breakthrough in cultivation.”

Fang Qiu mumbled to himself.

All of a sudden, Fang Qiu froze, as though he had thought of something.

“Right!”

“This time it happened during the training. So, I immediately suppressed the internal Qi as soon as I broke through, which led to the result that I didn’t feel like breaking through at all though I’d already made it. What’s more, the new meridians were not invaded and purified by the new power I gained after the breakthrough.”

“The major reason for the restlessness of my internal Qi after the breakthrough was the attraction generated by the lower-reached meridian. After the breakthrough, the meridians need more internal Qi to fill them up after all.”

“That’s to say, once I open my meridians, the real sense of breakthrough will wash over me.”

“And only at that time will the Qi of Heaven and Earth go into the body!”

As he spoke, his eyes became steadily brighter.

“In that case, the Qi of Heaven and Earth here will definitely become the richest.”

“And the most important step for a martial arts practitioner to break through to the Martial Superior Level is to comprehend the Qi of Heaven and Earth!”

“Maybe…”

“In that kind of situation, the special forces soldiers who have just broken through to the Martial Superior Realm can directly level up to the first-class Martial Superior Realm!”

At this thought, Fang Qiu was thrilled.

He looked around. This huge cave was big enough to accommodate a thousand people. The oasis under their feet alone was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

“Screech!”

Fang Qiu swiftly got to his feet.

“There are still two hours. That is to say, I have to contact the special forces’ base in two hours, get back here, particularly before the Vigor Grass is eaten by other animals.”

“As long as the Vigor Grass is protected, I still have four hours to bring the special forces into the cave and help them level up!”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu waved his hand again and cast a shield of internal Qi around the Vigor Grass.

The internal Qi shield was just to deter those small animals who made to eat the Vigor Grass, but it couldn’t really block them out.

“Swoosh!”

Fang Qiu leaped up.

He started running to the outside right off.

After passing through the underground maze and rushing up a 3,000-meter-high natural chasm, it was already evening by the time he returned to the surface of the desert.

Fang Qiu looked left and right.

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and ran toward the scenic spot in the sunset while looking for signals.

After running for 50 minutes, Fang Qiu finally got the signal when he approached the scenic spot.

It was not that he didn’t want to fly there, but it was because his internal Qi was still turbulent. Now he had managed to suppress it a little, if he used too much internal Qi to fly, the six hours he had earned with great effort would be shortened again. Therefore, Fang Qiu didn’t dare to fly and had to get to the scenic spot by running.

After finding some signals, Fang Qiu immediately called Li Ji.

“Hey, are you okay?”

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Ji’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line.

“I’m fine,” Fang Qiu answered.

At his words, Li Ji immediately heaved with a sigh of relief.

Before that, he had heard the battalion chief’s report and learned about the harsh environment in Lop Nor. So, he had been felt particularly worried about Fang Qiu’s expedition to Lop Nor alone.

Certainly, Li Ji was also very shocked that Fang Qiu actually helped 1,000 special soldiers break through to be martial arts practitioners. Yet, what shocked him even more was the message that Fang Qiu asked the captain to bring to him— “Only those above the Guru Realm can go in.”

That also meant that Fang Qiu had already admitted that he was a guru!

“Then what exactly is going on in Lop Nor?” Asked Li Ji.

“In the underground cave created by the nuclear explosion experiment more than 50 years ago, a new cave has appeared. The carnivorous lizards that lived there more than 50 years ago didn’t die out but mutated in the cave.”

Fang Qiu made the long story short. Then, he blurted out, “I may have a way to help the 1,000 special soldiers break through to the Martial Superior Realm!”
