In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
In the small courtyard, Shen Qing wore a black short jacket.
In front of him, on the stone stove, a three-legged alchemy pot bubbled and steamed, the amber liquid inside rolling and emitting a strange medicinal fragrance.
Up close, one could see a crimson demon core floating and sinking in the liquid, giving off a faint reddish glow, as if divine radiances were flowing from it and blending into the potion.
As time went on, the liquid in the pot began to undergo a marvelous change, turning clearer, and the medicinal fragrance grew even more intense.

Shen Qing reached out to wipe the surface of the alchemy pot, using his Qi to draw the demon core into his hand.
Although the demon core had become scalding hot, he felt no strangeness in his hand.
After continuous refinement, the membrane that covered his muscles became even more translucent.
Whenever he circulated his Qi-Blood, this layer would become clearly visible, as if he donned a layer of crystal armor, insulating him from the heat.
Holding the significantly smaller demon core in his hand, Shen Qing muttered to himself, "According to what Du Yuntong and others said, this demon core can be compared to spiritual elixir and, when boiled with other medicine formulas and consumed together, is very helpful in cultivating the Qi Sea. Over the past month, with daily consumption and the fundamental medicine prescribed by my uncle, the Hall Master, the enhancement of my inner Qi has been indeed significant."
"My inner Qi seems to have an endless source; truly a priceless treasure."
Shen Qing found a clean porcelain bowl and poured the finished potion into it.
After waiting for the potion to cool down, he tilted back his head and swallowed it.
Instantly, a warm current slid down his throat and rapidly spread throughout his body.
The potent medicinal strength surged into his limbs and bones like a torrent, as if countless flames were burning and bursting inside him.
Shen Qing's skin immediately turned an extreme shade of red as his Qi-Blood surged.
A moment later, the explosive heat subsided, transforming into a mountain spring's coolness, bringing an indescribable comfort.
The flush on his skin quickly faded, returning to normal.
Shen Qing gently closed his eyes, feeling the medicine nourish his meridians and muscles.
As the medicine spread and was absorbed, Shen Qing felt his Qi growing continuously stronger.
The originally slow-moving streams of Qi inside him seemed to be infused with new vitality, becoming turbulent and surging.
They ran through his meridians like rivers, bringing an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
His Qi inadvertently grew stronger.
Shen Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Water Ink Panel in his line of sight, his lips curving into a slight smile.
[Skill: Wind Defying Finger (Great Perfection)]
[Progress: 510/500 points]
[Status: Upgradeable]
"Good, the progress is sufficient."
"Come, Water Ink Panel, show me the extent of Wind Defying Finger after the Break Limit."
"Upgrade!"
The status of Wind Defying Finger on the Water Ink Panel refreshed rapidly, changing from the state of Great Perfection to [Break Limit].
[Skill: Wind Defying Finger (Break Limit)]
[Progress: 10/600 points]
[Status: Not upgradeable]
[Note: With your relentless daily practice, you've eclipsed the master, grasping the Limit Breaking Technique 'Flicking Finger'. Within ten meters, your power can penetrate metal and split stone, turning all to dust.]
"Flicking Finger, turning all to dust? What a plain name..."
```
Before Shen Qing could recover from his daze, a torrent of memories surged in like a mighty river, causing him to involuntarily clutch his head and groan in pain.
Within this burst of memory, he trained day and night in the Wind Defying Finger, tirelessly honing the Martial Arts skill.
Finally, during an accident, he broke through his own limits and successfully contained the outward emission of power, achieving an ideal state and obtaining a Limit breaking Technique named 'Flicking Finger.'

This Limit breaking Technique could gather and emit power, which would then explode upon reaching the target, causing unexpected destructive effects, far exceeding the original Wind Defying Finger's capability by at least fifty to sixty percent.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the strangeness in his mind gradually faded, as did the pain.
Shen Qing lifted his arm and found that the muscles on his arm had become even harder, and the two fingers on his right hand had become more nimble.
With a slight operation of strength, waves of familiarity washed over him as if he had truly practiced this Martial Arts thousands of times.
Shen Qing turned his head and gradually settled his gaze on an old locust tree in the courtyard.
The distance to the old locust tree was just about ten meters.
"There's no one in the courtyard; I can try out this so-called Break Limit Technique."
Shen Qing raised his hand and performed the Flicking Finger.
An invisible and fierce Qi shot out from the tips of his fingers, slicing through the air and whistling as it hit the trunk of the old locust tree.
With a 'pfft' sound.
The large tree, fifty to sixty centimeters in diameter, was directly pierced through, leaving a hole the size of two fingers.
"Hmm?"
A hint of joy appeared in Shen Qing's eyes.
"All of Li Linfeng's Wind Defying Finger strength is scattered in different directions, so the point of contact always results in a shattered state with limited range. By concentrating the force and refining it to a single point, my technique is strong in both distance and penetration."
"If that's the case, what would happen if I combined it with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill?"
Shen Qing's gaze once again fell on the old locust tree in front of him, his mind stirring.
He mobilized all his strength and then layered it with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill.
"First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation... Fourth Transformation!"
Shen Qing pushed the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill to its limit in one breath. His arm muscles were taut, and his veins stood out as he gathered all his strength between his two fingers.
Around his body began to swirl powerful currents of air, enveloping and rotating around him.
"Huh—"
With a fierce cry, the strength between his two fingers shot out.
A powerful blast, with red glimmers mixed in the invisible force, left a long trajectory through the air, roaring as it shot forth.
Wherever it passed, the air itself was shredded apart, emitting piercing howling sounds.
Boom!
A muffled bang.
The force struck the locust tree in an instant, a blinding flash burst from the trunk, followed by deafening explosion.
This old locust tree, that had withstood the test of time and weather, was shot through and snapped in half by this powerful force.
The trunk split down the middle, breaking into two pieces that collapsed with a thunderous crash, shattered wood and broken branches scattering all around
The severed surface was charred, emitting wisps of blue smoke.
Shen Qing stood still, looking down at his fingers, his face showing a trace of emotion.
Such fearsome strength.
This time it was truly so; within ten meters, reduced to ash in the flick of a finger.
None below the Qi Cultivation Realm, I'm afraid no martial master's flesh and blood could withstand this terrifying finger of mine.
