Chapter 490: Strength Greatly Increased

From head to toe, his body sounded three hundred and sixty-five times, and his height also suddenly increased by nearly two inches, and his body became more balanced and powerful.

Only Lin Zhangqing himself knew that according to the records of the Thunder True Scripture, he was now a Second-Stage body refining cultivator, although he hadn't tested it specifically.

But he estimated that his current strength would definitely be no less than twenty-five thousand jin. To know exactly how much, he would have to find a place to measure it properly.

Now Lin Zhangqing was full of strength, feeling as if he could break the spatial barrier with just one punch.

However, he knew that this was just a psychological illusion brought about by his sudden surge in strength; he wasn't that powerful yet.

He must undergo a period of training and adaptation for this feeling to disappear, but perhaps when he reached the Fifth Stage, he might have this kind of strength!

And Chen Zi Ya said with a smile: "Congratulations, Green Brother! Advancing to the Second Stage of body refining—so this is what you wanted me to see! Now it seems that those egg liquids are truly incredible treasures, but only you can handle them!"

Lin Zhangqing said with satisfaction: "Yes! This is the most immediate effect! Of course, there are other things; I'll tell you slowly later! Now I must hurry to refine all the remaining egg liquid, striving to continue our journey tomorrow!"

Chen Zi Ya nodded and said: "Good! Then cultivate with peace of mind!"

After saying this, she stopped disturbing him and continued to guard Lin Zhangqing! Lin Zhangqing adjusted his emotions and then took another small gulp of egg liquid, calmed his heart, and continued to refine it.

This process continued until evening, when he finally consumed everything completely.

By this time, he had opened a total of forty-two thunder apertures.

This was truly an incredible progress. You must know that since Lin Zhangqing obtained the Thunder True Scripture until now, how many years had it been? He himself had only opened eighteen and a half thunder apertures in total.

Unexpectedly, after obtaining the Fourth-Tier Thunder Bird egg, he opened twenty-three and a half apertures at once. If it weren't for a portion of the egg liquid being used to expand the early apertures,

it was very possible that one complete Thunder Bird egg could help Lin Zhangqing open twenty-eight to thirty thunder apertures.

Fortunately, there were still two Thunder Bird eggs in his Spirit Beast Bracelet. In this way, perhaps after refining them all, his body refining cultivation could approach the peak of the Second Stage! By then, it would be another new trump card. And that wasn't all; these forty-two thunder apertures had now each been expanded twice.

The thunder mana inside the apertures was enough to generate three Geng Metal Divine Thunders or Kui Water Yin Thunders!

That is to say, if we take Lin Zhangqing's most familiar Geng Metal Divine Thunder as an example, it condenses one every two breaths or so.

If he held one in each hand, he could almost achieve a continuous launch of over one hundred and twenty divine thunders.

This was extremely powerful, almost reaching the point of being invincible among peers. You must know that when he was in Linyuan City, four divine thunders had earned Lin Zhangqing quite a reputation.

Not to mention that he now had over one hundred and twenty. If he could achieve instantaneous divine thunder, that would be even more incredible, but these were all things for the future! Lin Zhangqing was in a great mood; he didn't expect such a huge harvest from participating in the Jiazi Trial this time! At night, when the two were cultivating the "Yin-Yang Harmony Sutra," Chen Zi Ya immediately experienced the power of a Second-Stage body refiner! If it weren't for Lin Zhangqing considering that they had to start harvesting demon cores the next day, Chen Zi Ya might not have needed to get up the next day! Early the next morning, after the two finished packing, they set off. They still flew toward the east; they had already discussed it last night! From today on, they would no longer avoid cultivators they encountered, but they wouldn't appear together.

Instead, after discovering cultivators on the first day, Lin Zhangqing would cover himself with the light gauze treasure, letting others see only Chen Zi Ya. If the people coming had no malicious intent, naturally everything would be peaceful! But if the people coming saw only Chen Zi Ya and she was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and they harbored malicious intent! Then Lin Zhangqing and the others wouldn't be polite; anyway, these people deserved to die, and Lin Zhangqing would naturally accept the spiritual objects and demon cores on them! On the spirit boat, the two snuggled together, drinking tea and chatting. At this moment, Lin Zhangqing suddenly felt a wave of terrified emotions coming from Chu Yi.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly communicated with it at the first opportunity. It turned out that Chu Yi had been attacked by two Sharp-Clawed Condors.

It was currently dodging their pincer attack. He hurriedly told Chu Yi to move closer to the two of them.

In just a short while, the two saw three flying birds rushing toward them.

Flying in the front was Chu Yi, but it was in a sorry state at this moment, with two wounds on its body, and some of its golden feathers had also been lost.

Moreover, the two Sharp-Clawed Condors behind were still constantly firing wind blades. Chu Yi was dodging left and right in the air, desperately avoiding their attacks.

Lin Zhangqing, watching from below, was furious, his heart aching terribly, wishing he could mince those two Sharp-Clawed Condors into meat paste!

So he immediately pretended to wipe his storage bag and took out the Thunder Horn, then desperately input thunder mana into it!

Soon, with the help of Eight Hundred, three Geng Metal Divine Thunders were generated, locking onto the two Sharp-Clawed Condors.

As soon as they entered the attack range, he could strike. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the two Sharp-Clawed Condors circled halfway and gave up their pursuit of Chu Yi! This sudden change caught both Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya off guard. Then he immediately reacted.

These two Sharp-Clawed Condors must have been raised by someone, and they must have just received instructions from their master; otherwise, they couldn't have given up on the prey that was about to be caught!

However, at this moment, it wasn't the time to consider these problems; the most important thing was to treat Chu Yi's wounds.

Chu Yi landed directly on the spirit boat, cried out aggrievedly at Lin Zhangqing, and kept nudging Lin Zhangqing with its head.

But at this moment, he was busy checking its wounds and found that the situation wasn't as bad as he had thought, which made him feel much more relieved!

Both wounds were a palm long, but they were only two inches deep into the flesh. It should be that those golden feathers also played a certain defensive role.

The wind blades had cut through those golden feathers before cutting into Chu Yi's body, providing a certain buffer.
