Chapter 9, Rapid Progress
This marrow-cleansing pill is indeed a treasure that only those legendary cultivators can refine. The extent of my meridian expansion is probably not even as good as that of Heiyan and the others. All I need to do now is continuously accumulate true energy, constantly absorb, integrate, and circulate it, thereby gradually solidifying my current realm. Li Yang is truly satisfied with the effects of this marrow-cleansing pill
Instantly, Heiyan and Tianlin were stunned. Just ten days ago, Li Yang had only around 80 crystals, and now the energy within him has nearly doubled! Such a rapid increase is truly terrifying. Moreover, Li Yang's flying knife is known as 'Little Li Flying Knife,' and they are well aware of the extraordinary nature of that flying knife. Now that Li Yang's strength has greatly increased, to what level will the power of his flying knife reach?
Suddenly, a hint of confusion appeared on Li Yang's face: "Where did that powerful surge of natural spiritual energy come from? My rate of absorbing natural spiritual energy is not even one-tenth of it, so what is going on?"
Currently, Li Yang is making the fastest progress in cultivating internal energy, with the effects of internal cultivation in one day being significantly stronger than those of physical training. Originally, cultivating internal energy was the true path; in the past, due to issues with his meridians, Li Yang spent most of his time on physical combat training. Now, having undergone a complete transformation, he naturally focuses on cultivating internal energy. After all, the essence of the Little Li Flying Dagger lies in true energy, and the effects of infusing acquired or innate true energy into the flying daggers differ greatly.
The barrier was instantly shattered, and the internal energy within Li Yang's meridians surged like a roaring river, flowing freely from the heart
This secret chamber is designated for members of the security bureau to practice their internal skills or to enter seclusion. Some team members may remain in seclusion for several months, during which they eat, sleep, and bathe within the chamber. Although the chamber is not particularly large, an area of thirty square meters is still sufficient.
Suddenly, Li Yang felt a powerful surge of natural spiritual energy rushing into his meridians, rapidly transforming into internal strength, which was directly infused into the army
The most important aspect of cultivating internal energy is the expansion of the meridians. Once the meridians are sufficiently expanded, the internal energy within the body can accumulate more. Due to the effects of the cleansing elixir, Li Yang has undergone a transformation, and his meridians have already reached the required standard early on. Now, he only needs to accumulate internal energy, but this accumulation is not a simple process; rather, it involves the continuous integration and circulation of this vital energy until it is completely controlled by the mind
This is precisely the reason for Li Yang's high level of mental and spiritual cultivation; otherwise, even if Li Yang were to train tirelessly with the flying daggers and exhaust his internal energy, the recovery speed of his internal energy would not be able to reach such a level as depicted in the book.
With a silly grin, Hei Yan suddenly stood up in fright. Upon seeing Tian Lin, he laughed and said, "Tian Lin, you actually scared me, but you really did give me a start."
Damn it, this "Star Extreme Three Realms" is completely a classic on the path of demonic cultivation. Who is this Li Xunhuan? Why have I never heard of him? Entering the Dao through emotions, entering the Dao through flying daggers, impressive, truly impressive! Entering the Dao through flying daggers, that attack power is definitely more formidable than that of a sword immortal! Entering the Dao through emotions, entering the Dao through flying daggers, impressive, truly impressive! Entering the Dao through flying daggers, that attack power is definitely more formidable than that of a sword immortal! This Li Xunhuan is undoubtedly a genius. Hmph, those idiots from the immortal realm still talk about severing the seven emotions and six desires; entering the Dao through emotions is the fastest way! When my primordial spirit was trapped in that stone, I merely gave this kid a little help, allowing him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more quickly. However, his recovery speed is actually dozens of times faster than that of an ordinary person. My assistance is not that effective. This "Joyful Spirit Realm" allows him to merge more with nature. It seems that it is indeed the "Joyful Spirit Realm" that is at work. Not bad! It appears that I will need this kid's help to return to the demon realm. Once he fully comprehends the three major realms, he will almost have entered the Dao. At that time, his cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds, and with my assistance, he will definitely be able to overcome the heavenly tribulation within a hundred years! My return to the demon realm will then have hope! Hmm, this kid is actually so slow at cultivating postnatal true energy; I should help him a bit!
Although Li Yang possesses only the first level of internal energy in the "Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill," his internal energy recovery speed is dozens of times faster than that of an average martial artist at the same level. What could be the reason for this?
Despite being perplexed, Li Yang decided not to dwell on the things he could not understand. Today is October 9th, and there are only 11 days left until the assessment. In these brief 11 days, Li Yang is determined to diligently cultivate his internal skills. He resolved that during this period, apart from the half hour of phone calls with Jiang Xue each day, he would devote all his other time to the cultivation of his internal skills
Tian Lin's expression suddenly changed, becoming very excited. He immediately said to Li Yang: "Li Yang, let me tell you some good news. Hei Yan, that big guy, has actually broken through to the third level of the 'Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill' and entered the fourth level, becoming a congenital master. Haha, in this assessment, our small team in the Safety Bureau's Group 9 stationed in various cities will definitely pass, and with your flying knife skills, Li Yang, you will surely make it through as well. Haha, our small team now has two members entering the library, which will definitely attract attention from all the other teams. In the future, when I meet peers, I, Tian Lin, can proudly say, 'Hey, buddy, let me tell you, Li Yang and Hei Yan from Group 11 are my brothers!'"
Indeed, in just ten days, I have completely solidified the second level of my realm, and my internal energy is already full. If I continue to work hard for a while longer, I might even reach the third level!" Li Yang thought with a smile
After more than a decade of arduous training, he has finally broken through to the third level of the "Six Extremes of Pure Yang" and entered the fourth level, becoming a master of the innate level. He looked at the energy display numbers from the test, and as he felt the innate true energy within him like pearls, he couldn't help but smile foolishly with increasing delight
How could this jade, which cannot even be split by a laser, suddenly turn into stone powder? Li Yang was a bit puzzled, but he soon smiled and shook his head. He was in a very good mood; a complete transformation was far more important to him than a special piece of stone
--------------------
Li Yang felt a surge of joy upon hearing this and said, "Heiyang really succeeded; indeed, hard work pays off. He trained frantically under four times the normal gravity and finally broke through. This is truly a delightful achievement! By the way, Tian Lin, I am going to the testing area to assess my energy and see the results of my cultivation. I will take my leave now; you focus on your own matters!"
In the depths of Li Yang's mind
The "Realm of Spirit" greatly enhanced Li Yang's mental state, allowing him to instantly change the direction of his flying daggers. This improvement in his mental cultivation made it easier for Li Yang to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, facilitating a quicker absorption of that energy.
Li Yang smiled faintly and walked to the center of the testing device
Reaching the second level of the "Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill" does not mean that you can immediately advance to the third level. After all, there are also differences within the same level. For instance, among the eight members of Hei Yan's group (excluding the captain), all have reached the third level of the "Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill". However, Hei Yan has already achieved over 800 crystals, Tan Jin has over 500 crystals, while Tian Lin has only over 200 crystals. This illustrates that there are significant disparities even within the same level.
At this moment, Li Yang's bare upper body was covered in sweat, dark impurities, and terrifying streaks of blood. However, amidst the dark impurities and bloodstains, one could also see Li Yang's skin, which had undergone a transformation; it now appeared as radiant as that of a newborn baby.
Streams of internal energy flowed from Li Yang's dantian throughout his entire body
The laser cannot even split it; could this possibly be an ordinary stone? Even though it appears to be an ordinary stone, due to its extraordinary nature, Li Yang still refers to this remarkable 'stone' as 'jade'.
Suddenly, Li Yang noticed the stone powder on the ground beside him. He knew that such powder could not possibly appear in this secret chamber. Looking at his chest where the jade had already vanished, and then at the stone powder, Li Yang was convinced that this powder was likely formed from the fragmentation of the jade.
He succeeded; he has finally reached the second level of the "Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill"
Upon hearing this, Tian Lin immediately laughed and said, "Li Yang, let's go. I'll accompany you to the testing area. After all, today is the 19th, and the test is tomorrow. Training today won't have much effect anyway! Let's go!"
The test light instantly enveloped Li Yang completely, and with a crisp 'drop' sound, the test light extinguished.
"Hehe, how can you two big men be like this, so fragile!" With that sarcastic tone, Tian Lin walked over
--------------------------------
Of course, one must seize the time to cultivate inner strength
In the future, we brothers will join forces and will not allow any enemy to infringe upon our homeland in the slightest. Li Yang firmly extended his hand towards Heiyan
Even with the use of lasers, it is impossible to split this stone
After rinsing clean, Li Yang once again sat cross-legged, quietly closed his eyes, and his mind became completely tranquil as he began to cultivate his internal energy
Nothing can be perfect. Having just undergone a transformation, now that the jade has shattered, Li Yang has come to terms with it. Compared to his own rebirth, the loss of a special stone is not significant.
Haha, Li Yang, you rascal, I finally see your true self! During this time, I haven't seen you around, and if it weren't for the captain saying you were in the secret room, I would have thought you eloped with some beauty and left the security bureau!
Heiyan looked at Li Yang and smiled: "Li Yang, I can also go to the Security Bureau Group 11 with you!"
As time passed second by second, Li Yang sat quietly in a meditative posture, a faint glow appearing on his face, while the internal energy within him surged rhythmically
As soon as Li Yang saw Tian Lin, he set aside his earlier doubts, smiled slightly, and approached, saying: "Eloping? Eloping for a beauty? Although the Security Bureau's Group 9 does not allow marriage, Group 11 does. With my strength, entering Group 11 is just around the corner; do I really need to elope? Haha, but you, Tian Lin, I’ve heard you have quite a few admirers outside. What will happen to those admirers if you can’t enter Group 11? It seems Captain Meng Tian has criticized you for that!" Li Yang seized the opportunity to strike back.
This is a man's vow
... ...
Hey! Black Rock!" Tian Lin shouted in a low voice.
... ...
Tian Lin immediately made a苦 face and said, "Please don't discourage me. The Safety Bureau's Group 11, I don't know when I will be able to join. If I continue to practice so carelessly, I estimate it will be around my thirties before I can enter. Alas, I can only pity my beautiful confidantes!" Tian Lin looked in great pain.
October 19
Li Yang stood at the entrance of the secret room, his expression seemingly a bit puzzled, when suddenly a person approached from a distance
Li Yang has been using these ten days to diligently consolidate his current state
What to do after a complete transformation
Li Yang is feeling a bit anxious now. The internal energy circulating in his meridians is ten times that of the past. By all accounts, he should be able to reach the second level of "Six Extremes Pure Yang Skill." However, for some unknown reason, he always seems to be just one step away from success. It feels as though there is only a thin layer of paper separating him from achievement, yet this slight barrier is preventing him from breaking through.
Li Yang and Tian Lin entered the testing area at random
Suddenly, Li Yang was filled with immense joy as he discovered something truly wonderful: "Ah, although my internal energy recovery speed was fast in the past, my meridians had limited capacity, and only a small amount of internal energy could circulate within them. Now that my meridians have expanded, doesn't that mean the internal energy I can circulate has greatly increased? With my internal energy recovery speed, I can definitely increase the internal energy in my meridians tenfold!"
He is very satisfied with the results of his training over the past ten days, and he now has complete confidence in joining the Security Bureau's Group 11
150 crystal! The electronic sound resonates.
Li Yang stood up with a smile, feeling the true energy surging within him. His body's energy had undoubtedly exceeded 100 crystals, reaching three digits. He had now become a Level 3 expert!
----------------
Boom
What? Where is my jade? Li Yang was astonished to find that the jade he had been wearing around his neck had disappeared. He had always been filled with wonder about this piece of jade. It looked just like an ordinary stone, but according to the *illustrated* book, this jade had a very special characteristic.
Li Yang smiled as he walked towards the black rock
The internal energy within the expanded meridians increased in surges, as Li Yang continuously circulated it, persistently channeling the newly generated internal energy from his dantian into the meridians.
At this moment, there was only Heiyan in the testing area. Heiyan sat on a chair to the side, looking at the screen in front of him displaying '1350 Crystals' with a beaming smile, chuckling happily.
Li Yang walked out of the secret room with a smile
En! Heiyan firmly grasped Li Yang's hand, their hands held tightly together
Li Yang, the testing device has been activated, let's go test it! Tian Lin, observing the 'terrifying' expressions of Li Yang and the other person, recalled the formidable abilities of Li Yang and Hei Yan, and promptly shifted the topic.
Uncertain of the reason, Li Yang is very fond of this jade stone, so he has kept it close to him and has never taken it off. Since acquiring this jade stone, his physical recovery speed during cultivation has significantly increased, and it seems that practicing internal skills has also become easier. As an adult with established meridians, he surprisingly reached the first level within two years. Li Yang has always suspected that this jade stone must have played a role.
Tian Lin grinned and said, "Hehe, that's because you, this guy, are grinning foolishly. Just now, when I left this testing area, you were grinning, and now that I’m back, you’re still grinning. Uh... haha, by the way, Li Yang, I’ll go help you turn on the testing device." Tian Lin looked at the black rock that was energetically moving and immediately ran to the side to turn on the testing device.
Suddenly, Li Yang frowned: "However, this matter is quite strange. Although I have undergone a complete transformation and do not need to expand my meridians, only requiring the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, according to my rate of absorption, it should take at least two to three months to fully consolidate the second level of my realm. Yet, during these ten days of cultivation, why has the gathering speed of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increased nearly tenfold compared to the past? In just ten days, I have completely consolidated my second level of realm. " Li Yang could not comprehend how, in just ten days, he had fully consolidated his second level of realm. Since entering the secret chamber and undergoing a transformation, how could the gathering speed of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly increase tenfold?
A complete transformation has brought about such a significant change in me. However, I should wash up first! The feeling of being covered in sweat and dirt is truly unpleasant. Li Yang walked to the corner of the secret room, pulled up the curtain, and casually pressed a button on the wall. Instantly, the washing faucet in the secret room sprayed out water.
Certainly, Li Yang cannot enter the third level within ten days
