God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 680 - 750: Mother-in-law Brings Medicine

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Hua Huiyue said coldly with a stern face.

Fang Yi, however, was as unconcerned as a pig to scalding water and cheerfully said, "Mother-in-law, there are no outsiders here, don’t be angry. Besides, I used to call you this and never saw you upset." Not only was she not upset, she was quite happy.

Looking at Fang Yi, whose face was as thick as a city wall, and that smile? It made Hua Huiyue both angry and annoyed. Beyond that, she found it utterly ridiculous; she thought this guy was really interesting.

Hua Huiyue had already driven the disciples guarding the place away. There was a chair here, and Hua Huiyue proceeded to sit down and cross her legs. The moment she lifted her leg, the glimpse of the springtime scenery beneath her skirt immediately made Fang Yi’s eyes pop.

Many people on this world commit sins, and right then, Fang Yi was committing quite the sin. When he caught sight of the inadvertent spring view beneath Hua Huiyue’s skirt, a fire ignited in him.

Even Fang Yi didn’t know what was going on. Could it be he was actually developing some sort of taboo desire for his own mother-in-law?

How shrewd was Hua Huiyue? She immediately noticed Fang Yi’s strange gaze. After a brief ponder, Hua Huiyue knew what this rascal was thinking and sharply reprimanded, "What are you looking at?"

"Legs!" Fang Yi blurted out instinctively, wanting to shut his mouth, but it was too late. The spoken words, like spilled water, couldn’t be taken back and had already reached Hua Huiyue’s ears.

Fang Yi’s blunt reply left Hua Huiyue both embarrassed and irritated. She said coldly, "I am your mother-in-law, don’t let your mind wander."

Fang Yi laughed and said, "It’s you, Mother-in-law, who is overthinking it. I just glanced at your legs, that’s all. It’s hardly a crime. Besides, you won’t lose a piece of flesh for it, will you? You’re right in front of me, how can I not look?"

What he implied was, if you don’t want me to look, then don’t stand in front of me.

Hua Huiyue was indeed angered, and after a long while she spat out four words: "Twisted and wicked logic!"

Fang Yi chuckled and said, "Right, Mother-in-law, what made you come to see me today?"

Did she change the subject? Hua Huiyue slightly subdued the anger on her pretty face, "How many acupoints have you broken through?"

Fang Yi said, "Eighteen, still thirty-six to go."

"How could it still take so long..." Hua Huiyue frowned slightly, then reached into her sleeve, took out a small porcelain bottle, and tossed it to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi caught it, but did not hurry to open it. Instead, he brought the small porcelain bottle up to his nose and sniffed, his expression one of enjoyment and contentment.

"Smells great!"

Hua Huiyue was annoyed again and chastised, "Be serious!"

Fang Yi immediately put on a solemn face.

Hua Huiyue said, "This is an elixir I personally created. If you take it, it should help you break open your body’s acupoints and achieve the Heavenly Level."

"Elixir?" Fang Yi had only heard the old man talk about such things but never expected them to be real.

"Yes, elixir. You must have heard that in ancient times, Qin Shi Huang sought elixirs for immortality, and later on, Daoists practiced Alchemy. Although the elixir I created does not have the legendary great effects, it can stimulate the body’s acupoints and meridians, which is very beneficial."

Fang Yi nodded, the so-called Alchemy in ancient times was essentially alchemy, but in traditional Chinese medicine, there truly was Alchemy, a branch of Chinese medicine. Fang Yi opened the small porcelain bottle and sniffed it, roughly identifying the components of the elixir. There were a few ingredients he could not detect.

Fang Yi did not hesitate. He opened his mouth and swallowed the elixir. Hua Huiyue said, "Good son-in-law, are you not afraid the thing I gave you to eat is poison?"

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Of course not."

Hua Huiyue asked, "Where does this confidence of yours come from?"

Fang Yi replied, "If this were really a poison, my dear mother-in-law would lose a good son-in-law. I believe you definitely wouldn’t want to lose such a good son-in-law."

Having seen the vain, Hua Huiyue had never encountered such vanity. She stood up and said, "You’d better break through to the Heavenly Level quickly. The Martial Arts Conference is half a month away, and I need you to keep your promise and claim the first place for the Sky Sword Sect."

Fang Yi was stunned and said, "So soon? Wasn’t it supposed to be in half a year?"

Hua Huiyue replied, "There have been some unexpected developments, and it’s possible that the entire martial arts world will be thrown into turmoil. You’d better strengthen your power as soon as possible to keep yourself alive." Her words were not in jest but uttered with utmost seriousness and gravity.

Fang Yi certainly felt it too and asked, "By the way, how is Jingjing now?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Hua Huiyue’s beautiful eyes as she answered, "You don’t need to worry about her. At least Jingjing has the ability to protect herself and won’t need your protection anymore."

Fang Yi responded with a smile, "Well, that’s not necessarily the case."

Eventually, Hua Huiyue left, leaving Fang Yi to continue soaking in the cold pond. Besides soaking, he also took the opportunity to refine the elixir he had consumed to break through the remaining thirty-some points.

From Hua Huiyue’s tone, Fang Yi understood that the ’unexpected development’ she mentioned was not a common one, and that the entire martial arts realm would likely not remain peaceful. Although he didn’t know what disaster might come, it was still the case that the stronger he was, the better.

...

On the sixth day.

Fang Yi soaked in the cold pond, having broken through twenty points in his body, with only the last sixteen left.

If he could break through these last sixteen points, he would reach the Heavenly Level, at which point he would leap over the dragon gate. It’s important to note that in the world of martial arts, such recognized Heavenly Level experts are very few in number.

Heavenly Level experts are rare indeed, which of course doesn’t discount those who are hidden away from the eyes of the world.

Above the Heavenly Level, there are even higher realms, but to a martial artist, these are already a look upward, and Fang Yi didn’t know what lay beyond the Heavenly Level.

Fang Yi had this speculation because of the old man. As his own realm had improved, Fang Yi had realized that the old man was not only beyond the Heavenly Level but his strength surpassed even that of a triple-layer Heavenly Level expert.

Thus, the path of a martial artist was long and without end.

Over the past few days, Fang Yi had been immersing himself in his own world within the cold pond, not knowing how much time had passed. His ears twitched, and he heard a very faint sound of footsteps.

Opening his eyes, he saw a woman carrying a basket walking up to the edge of the cold pond. Upon seeing Fang Yi open his eyes, she giggled and said, "Brother Fang, you’re really something, knowing I was coming the moment I arrived."

Fang Yi spoke, "Miss Yang, what brings you here?"

Yang Yingying replied, "I came to see you. You’ve been soaking in this cold pond for so long and still haven’t come out. How much longer do you plan to stay?"

Fang Yi said, "Not much longer."

Yang Yingying uttered an "Oh," then set down the basket she was carrying: "I’ve brought you some tasty food, come up and have a bite."

Fang Yi replied indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yang, but I’m not hungry just now."

Yang Yingying pouted, feeling quite unamused, and turned to leave.

After leaving the cold pond, Yang Yingying saw a tall figure standing not far away. A smile appeared on her face, and she quickly ran over, exclaiming, "Elder Brother Zhou Hao."
