The next morning, during breakfast, Sun Zhengguo noticed that his grandmother was looking at him with some hostility, which meant she probably knew about what had happened.
The cunning Sun Zhengguo didn't want to be lectured again, so he quickly finished his breakfast, took the prepared herbs, called out, and headed to his maternal grandfather's house.
Grandma wanted to say something, but considering that her grandson had things to do today, she decided not to argue with him. After all, the child is grown up and has his pride too.
Sun Zhengguo was unaware that he had run too fast, thus saving himself another lecture.
He had already arrived at his maternal grandfather's house, where Lin Hong had been waiting for a long time.
"Grandpa, Aunt, good morning! I'm bothering you again."
"What's the trouble! You're being too polite, child."
"That's what my aunt said politely."
All the grain for her own family was brought by her nephew, and her son's family relied entirely on the Sun family for help. She couldn't be more happy if Sun Zhengguo would come and bother her more!
Grandpa Lin Hong, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm, simply saying a few words.
"Hmm! Everything's ready?"
"Everything is ready, Grandpa."
After speaking, Sun Zhengguo took out the prepared herbs, and the group picked through them.
When my cousins saw that my cousin had arrived, they insisted on playing together, but my aunt sent them all away.
Once everything was ready, my aunt started boiling water, while my grandfather added herbs.
Gradually, the water temperature began to rise. All the herbs had been added, and the medicinal liquid in the pot had turned emerald green. A rich medicinal aroma filled the entire room.
Seeing this, Lin Hong knew it was about time, so he said...
"The fire should be extinguished! That's about enough."
"Okay, I understand."
Knowing that there was nothing more for her to do, her aunt got up and went out to busy herself.
After his aunt left, Sun Zhengguo got to work and started using a basin to scoop the medicine into a wooden bucket.
After scooping out all the liquid, the two waited a while until the temperature of the liquid was just right, and then the entire preliminary work was considered complete.
"Alright, we've done everything we could. Success or failure hinges on this. Remember, if you succeed, great; if not, don't force it, lest you damage your foundation. After all, you're still young, and we'll have plenty of opportunities."
Lin Hong said with a serious expression.
He was afraid that his grandson was young and naive, and if he couldn't break through, he couldn't act impulsively and force it.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. If I can't break through, I'll just wait. I would never joke around with my own body."
Sun Zhengguo also looked serious, indicating that he wouldn't act recklessly.
"Okay! I'll keep watch outside. If anything happens, just call out."
After Lin Hong finished speaking, he went outside, found a stool, and sat down to guard the house, not letting anyone come to disturb him.
Sun Zhengguo closed the door, stripped naked, and climbed into the wooden tub.
This potion is indeed powerful. As soon as I entered, my blood and energy began to stir.
Sun Zhengguo was delighted to see this and quickly set up the Qiankun Stance to better utilize the medicinal liquid.
As the medicine continues to take effect, the body's energy and blood flow also increase continuously. This pleasant feeling is just like taking opium, making it irresistible.
Just a few minutes later, the energy and blood in his body reached saturation. This time it was true saturation, unlike last time when it just stagnated.
Sun Zhengguo knew that the real test was coming, and if he guessed correctly, the next step would be a breakthrough.
Just as he was preparing to step up his efforts, a sudden situation caught him off guard.
Just moments ago, when he thought his qi and blood had reached their limit and could not rise any further, that force did not stop, but instead surged forward effortlessly.
His body seemed to have been freed from shackles, moving from a small pool to a large one, and his vital energy began to flow into his body continuously.
His mental strength has increased dramatically. Although he hasn't tried it, he's certain it has increased dramatically.
"I've broken through? How could it be so easy!"
Sun Zhengguo muttered to himself.
He never dreamed that breaking through would be as easy as drinking cold water, with absolutely no bottlenecks whatsoever.
Fortunately, it wasn't a bad thing. Sun Zhengguo didn't have time to feel sentimental anymore. The medicine was still quite potent and couldn't be wasted.
After calming down, Sun Zhengguo remained in the same stance, diligently absorbing the medicinal liquid from the wooden tub.
Sun Zhengguo stopped when the medicinal liquid became clear and his qi and blood power stopped increasing, and then checked his own physical condition.
Uh! Okay! Actually, I don't feel much, just that I have inexhaustible energy. I'll have to wait and see how it goes once I get my hands on it.
After a period of random thoughts, Sun Zhengguo took out a towel he had prepared beforehand, wiped himself down, put on his clothes, opened the door, and came out.
Lin Hong, who was guarding the gate, felt a pang of unease when he saw his grandson come out so quickly. He thought his grandson hadn't made a breakthrough, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do it so fast.
Sun Zhengguo was just about to share the news of his breakthrough with his grandfather when Lin Hong spoke first.
"Zhengguo, don't rush. You're still young. You'll definitely break through next time."
What's the meaning?
After all that fuss about his relationship, Grandpa still thinks he hasn't made any progress!
That makes sense. According to the book, it would take at least an hour, but it only took me half an hour to absorb the medicinal liquid, and the actual breakthrough only took a few minutes, which was incredibly fast.
"Grandpa, I've broken through to the Dark Force realm."
"Yes! It's good that you've broken through, broken through..."
"What?"
Lin Hong stared at his grandson in disbelief. He could hardly believe his ears. Had he gotten too old and misheard?
"I said, I've broken through, I've broken through the Dark Force."
This time Lin Hong heard it clearly because Sun Zhengguo spoke very slowly and clearly, as if afraid that he wouldn't understand.
"How is that possible? That's not how it's written in the book!"
Lin Hongdu is somewhat obsessed.
But then something else suddenly occurred to him.
Lin Hong quickly ran to the corner of the wall, found half a useless blue brick, and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.
"Come on, put your strength into it and give me a punch."
Sun Zhengguo understood that once a person breaks through the hidden strength and uses the power of hidden strength, a punch will not show any damage from the outside.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Sun Zhengguo threw the brick on the ground, then channeled his inner strength and punched the brick hard.
After hitting it, the bricks on the ground showed no reaction, just like when they were first brought over.
Seeing this, Lin Hong became excited instead.
You should know that with the peak power of Ming Jin, one punch would definitely shatter this brick.
But now, the brick is intact. What does that mean?
His grandson wasn't talking nonsense; he must have broken through to the inner strength level.
However, this still needs to be verified.
Lin Hong carefully touched the brick on the ground with his hand, and instantly, the half brick turned into powder and scattered all over the ground.
"hiss!"
The power of hidden force is terrifying!
If this hits a person, it's more terrifying than a meat grinder.
Lin Hong could no longer imagine what kind of power this was.
“Zhengguo, you need to be more careful in the future. Be mindful of what you do and don’t go to extremes, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Looking at the powder on the ground, Lin Hong couldn't help but give his grandson a warning.
"Grandpa, I understand. Have I ever fought with anyone all these years?"
"As long as you know what's going on, let's have lunch here today! Your aunt asked me to tell you that your grandpa and the others are coming too."
"Okay, all right!"
Sun Zhengguo happily agreed, then found a stool and sat down with his grandfather. He had many questions he wanted to ask his grandfather.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for an hour. Lin Hong answered some of the questions he knew, and discussed and researched the ones he didn't understand.
It didn't stop until my uncle came home.
