CHAPTER 814: CHAPTER 423: HIDDEN DANGERS AND NEW STRENGTH

He felt somewhat uneasy, wondering if these strange things might make him a new source of pollution.

After all, judging by their performance in the Inner World, they possess strong corrosive characteristics that could cause terrifying blood mutation in ordinary people.

Who knows if someone being too close to him, over prolonged exposure, might suffer some negative impact?

Originally, Fang Cheng was planning to seek out Ma Jianguo to learn the "Visualization Method."

It was precisely due to this concern that he temporarily put that plan aside.

Speaking of which, isn’t staying at home like this also a form of alternative "self-cultivation"?

Fang Cheng’s thoughts turned, his gaze shifted to the corner of the balcony, towards several pots of green plants his mother had sent.

The leaves of the ivy and spider plant, caressed by the sunlight and teased by the gentle breeze, appeared even more vibrant green.

They seemed full of life, apparently unaffected in any way.

Moreover.

During the early morning workout on the beach, he had gone for a swim, and the sweat and heat emitted by his body hadn’t harmed the nearby fish.

Looking at it this way, he hadn’t yet become a walking source of pollution.

"Nonetheless, being careful is never wrong."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Cheng felt dry throat and tongue, and fetched another bottle of water from the fridge to drink.

Speaking of which, there’s actually a quick way to accelerate digestion.

That is to first exhaust all the True Qi in the Dantian, and then use Qigong to refine the Deep Red Eye’s flesh and blood in the stomach.

But doing so is akin to buying the box and returning the pearl.

True Qi is extremely valuable; once depleted, replenishing it through daily breathing exercises or dietary supplements is exceedingly slow.

After all, not every Martial Artist is as fortunate as he is, having Ancient Relics and able to immediately replenish Qi and blood after depleting True Qi.

This experience of consuming the Deep Red Eye is a rare opportunity in itself,

if he were to waste True Qi merely to speed up digestion, it would be a loss akin to squandering a treasure, pure folly.

"Let the digestion be slow then."

Fang Cheng muttered to himself.

Right now, the most important thing is to lie low and wait, to thoroughly absorb the power of the "Deep Red Eye" and make it his own.

Collecting his thoughts, he tossed the empty bottle into the trash can and walked over to the hanging heavy punching bag, delivering a few casual punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull sounds of hitting reverberated through the living room, filled with a solid sense of power.

Withdrawing his fist, Fang Cheng glanced over the panel.

The skill experiences gained during the morning practice emerged one after another.

Finally, his gaze fixed on a few pieces of new info faintly glowing.

[Congratulations, through tireless efforts, your Strength has increased by 1 point]

[Congratulations, through tireless efforts, your Agility has increased by 1 point]

"Improved again."

Fang Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, which was expected.

Since returning from the Noah Building, he’d been bustling all day long.

Then, during his meditation, he battled with the giant eyeball.

Perhaps due to excessive mental exertion, he slept peacefully that night, without dreams.

When he exercised the next morning, he found the progress bars for Strength and Agility finally filled up, both increasing to 61 points.

In the following two days, the progress bars were accelerating at a speed tens of times faster than usual.

Now increasing by 1 point is also a matter of course.

This indicates that the flesh and blood of the "Deep Red Eye" is still being digested, and the transformation of his body has never stopped.

Fang Cheng looked at the refreshed attribute interface once again.

[Strength: 62]

[Agility: 62]

[Constitution: 59]

[Spirit: 60]

He slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging strength inside, even stronger than before.

He mused to himself: "If I completely digest all the flesh and blood in my stomach, how far can I increase?"

"Cheng Jiashu! Cheng Jiashu! We love you—"

At this moment, a burst of cheers like a storm and tsunami erupted from the television.

Fang Cheng turned around to see the TV screen crowded with people, seemingly a celebrity event.

Numerous signs printed with "Cheng Jiashu" formed a sea of glistening lights.

Fans were holding support items and flowers, constantly screaming the name of their idol, the sound waves almost breaking through the screen.

Several girls featured in the TV close-up were so excited that they couldn’t stop crying, their makeup smeared with tears.

Amidst this frenzied sound wave and countless flashlights, a tall and handsome man is standing on stage.

At this moment, he was constantly waving at the audience and bowing in apology.

His sincere expression was touching, triggering louder and more fervent screams.

The camera shifted to a female reporter on site, speaking into her microphone with undisguised excitement:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m right now at the comeback news conference of the famous singer, former core member of ’Smiling Boy,’ Mr. Cheng Jiashu!"

"After nearly a month away from the public eye, Cheng Jiashu reappeared yesterday, drawing widespread attention from all sectors of society."

"Responding to various speculations in the media and online about his personal situation, Cheng’s management company officially clarified that he sought new album inspiration, conducting a no-communication, closed artistic exploration."

"Fans and media friends are encouraged to give him more private space and refocus attention on his music works themselves..."

Seeing the radiant celebrity on TV, Fang Cheng’s lips curled slightly.

"This guy seems to be looking pretty good."

Evidently, since successfully resolving matters and withdrawing from the Noah Building, he hasn’t faced any threats of pursuit from the Noah Organization.

According to news from Xu Hao, Noah Pharmaceutical has been shut down.

The Special Search Team appears to have obtained strong evidence, formally investigating certain illegal cases involving human experimentation.

Many elite members of the Noah Organization’s East Capital Branch were arrested or on the run, many secret operations forcibly halted.

This mighty force long entrenched in East Capital can be said to have suffered a devastating blow.

Even if Noah Organization sends more people from headquarters, the Special Search Team’s strict monitoring will prevent any major disruption.

At least for a year or two, they can only keep a low profile.

This malignant tumor being temporarily removed allows Cheng Jiashu to return to normal life, and Fang Cheng to truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Cheng’s thoughts were swirling.

Just then, a series of beeping sounds interrupted his thoughts.

Fang Cheng glanced at his phone left on the sofa, the displayed number showing as Ma Donghe.

He thought about it for a moment, then picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Ah Cheng."

On the other end of the line came Ma Jianguo’s energetic voice: "You haven’t forgotten what we talked about at that gathering, have you?"

Fang Cheng was slightly taken aback: "What was it?"

"I told you to stay home and cultivate for a few days, didn’t I? You haven’t finished, have you?"

Ma Jianguo’s tone carried a trace of exasperation:

"Never mind, today’s a great day, perfect for learning the Visualization Method. Hurry over, I’ll teach you our school’s Visualization Method thoroughly."

"Master Ma, I have things to handle the past few days..."

Fang Cheng was contemplating finding a reason to excuse himself.

"Ah Cheng, I’ve checked the calendar."

Ma Jianguo interrupted him decisively,

"Today is ’Grace Day,’ when positive energy gathers throughout the world, good fortune pervades, suitable for worship, consecration, learning, with no taboos."

"If you miss today, the next suitable day won’t come for at least half a year!"

As he spoke, someone seemed to call out to him on the other end, Ma Jianguo paused, then sped up his words:

"It’s settled, I have some matters to attend to here."

"You must arrive before two o’clock this afternoon; Donghe has come out of seclusion and is waiting for you..."

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Before Fang Cheng could say anything else, the call was decisively cut.

Holding his phone, Fang Cheng was somewhat amused.

Studying the Visualization Method actually requires selecting a lucky day?

However...

On second thought, he’s currently troubled by the negative effects of the "Deep Red Eye."

Perhaps this mysterious-sounding Visualization Method from Master Ma could help him find a way to solve the hidden dangers, offering insights.

"Well, might as well take a look."

Fang Cheng made a decision, standing up from the sofa.
