Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Neutralizing Force, Longevity Technique
The immense medicinal power spread throughout his body.
His blood, tendons, and bones began to transform.
Blood and Marrow Exchange!
Strengthening his Flesh Body from its very foundation.
His entire body was as hot as a roaring fire.
The potent medicinal power surged like a torrent.
His internal organs vibrated, letting out a peculiar cry, like the croaking of bullfrogs.
Power surged, washing through his limbs and skeleton.
Using the Inner Cultivation Breathing Method of the Demon Suppression Skill, he was like a sponge, greedily absorbing the medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Ginseng.
The medicinal power penetrated to the marrow!
The movements of his practice grew ever faster.
Afterimages overlapped.
He switched back and forth, practicing the two Martial Arts: the Demon Suppression Skill and the Wind God Step.
The air hummed, and currents swirled all around his body.
A powerful aura swept through the courtyard.
Immersed in his Cultivation, a mysterious and profound feeling arose from within him. freёweɓnovel.com
His techniques began to slowly change.
Time ticked by, second by second.
***
The first light of dawn rose from the horizon, piercing the darkness between heaven and earth.
In the courtyard, Fang Xing was drenched in sweat.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and hair, only to be instantly evaporated by an invisible force.
WHOOM—!
He executed the final move of the Demon Suppression Skill.
In that instant, Fang Xing felt as if his Martial Arts had entered a whole new world.
The Demon Suppression Skill and the Wind God Step, two Superior Martial Arts, had stepped into another realm in a flash.
His Hard and Soft Strength fused together, blending perfectly like milk and water into Primordial Unity!
Within his body, his tendons and bones resonated in unison.
A sound like popping beans crackled through him.
From the soles of his feet, a stream of Earth Qi rose from his Yongquan acupoints. From the crown of his head, a stream of Clear Spirit Qi poured into his Baihui Acupoint.
Upper Clarity and Lower Turbidity!
The acupoints in his body seemed to connect in an instant, and an immense Power erupted from within him.
The powerful force vibrated the air. The large scholar tree in the courtyard shook, and its leaves began to fall.
Fang Xing stood motionless. As the leaves fell, they abruptly stopped one inch from his body.
It was as if they were blocked by an invisible force.
As the leaves hung there, an inch away, Fang Xing gave a slight twitch of his shoulder, and they instantly turned to dust.
"I did it!"
Fang Xing’s eyes shone like stars. With every breath he took, it felt as though even the pores of his skin were breathing.
A Martial Arts breakthrough, Primordial Power!
Acupoints connected, Protective Force!
’The power of Neutralizing Force...’
Fang Xing reached out his hand, feeling the Power all around him.
Power flowed through his entire body.
He felt a clarity he had never experienced before.
The Dragon Gate leap of the Foundation Establishment Three Realms!
A nineteen-year-old at the Neutralizing Force realm—in all of Qingshan County, this was enough to be considered a legend!
Only after reaching Neutralizing Force did he know true power!
The Power of Neutralizing Force was a fusion of Bright and Dark Force, a Primordial Unity.
Compared to Dark Force, the difference was like that between heaven and earth.
’The power of the Blood Spirit Ginseng is truly impressive. It didn’t disappoint.’
Retracting his Power, Fang Xing let out a breath of relief.
He had a solid foundation for this breakthrough, but he had also been prepared for the possibility of failure.
After all, his Root Bone was too low. His chances of breaking through to Neutralizing Force were only ten percent.
Even with the aid of a Treasure Medicine like the Blood Spirit Ginseng, the chance of failure was still high.
But thankfully, at the critical moment, his Martial Arts had broken through.
The Demon Suppression Skill had entered the Peak Realm!
Upon entering this realm, he was no longer confined to the set techniques of the Demon Suppression Skill.
With a casual motion, he could unleash the ultimate power of the Demon Suppression Fist!
The Nine Demon Suppression Techniques were his to command, performed with effortless ease!
This was the Peak of Perfection!
He could even fuse different techniques together.
And while the Wind God Step had not yet reached the Peak of Perfection, it had achieved a state of Mastery.
This breakthrough in his Martial Arts was the key to his success in Breaking Realm.
If the Demon Suppression Skill and Wind God Step hadn’t broken through, his attempt at Breaking Realm would most likely have failed.
’Thankfully, my Comprehension is high enough...’
There was an element of luck involved this time.
By taking this step, it was no exaggeration to say that within Qingshan, he had reached the heavens in a single bound.
This Dragon Gate was a barrier that many Martial Artists in Qingshan County could never break through.
Neutralizing Force was the pinnacle of power in Qingshan County.
Relying on his Martial Arts Mastery in two Superior Martial Arts, he could now face even Middle Stage or Late Stage Neutralizing Force Martial Artists with composure.
Adding his ability of Perception into the Subtle, he wouldn’t dare say he could dominate all Neutralizing Force masters.
However, he was confident he could remain undefeated.
After all, the Wind God Step, a Lightweight Skill, was not to be underestimated.
’With my current Cultivation, I’ve finally established a firm footing...’
Gazing at the morning sun on the horizon, Fang Xing clenched his fist.
By Entering the Neutralizing Force Realm, he finally had the strength to stand among the top-tier and have a seat at the table.
Coming back to his senses, Fang Xing immediately rinsed his body with water from the well.
The Blood Spirit Ginseng’s Blood and Marrow Exchange had purged some of the impurities and toxins from his body.
The icy well water poured over every inch of his skin. It was an early autumn morning, and the temperature was low, but for him, with his current qi, blood, and physique, it had no effect whatsoever.
Washing away the grime, he instantly felt a refreshing clarity throughout his body.
After drying himself off, Fang Xing went inside to get dressed.
Then, he took out the Cowhide Scroll.
Unfurling the Cowhide Scroll, Fang Xing looked at the Martial Arts recorded on it.
Longevity Inner Elixir Skill!
This was the Martial Arts that Shen Ye had given him before, which he had not yet cultivated.
’Break through to Neutralizing Force, then enhance and cultivate.’
He now had nearly five thousand Enhancement Points. Although spending one thousand points pained him, what needed to be spent, must be spent.
’I wonder what level this Superior Martial Arts can be enhanced to...’
Fang Xing was full of anticipation. With a thought, he began the enhancement.
A crimson light enveloped the Cowhide Scroll.
Fang Xing watched intently.
Soon, the crimson light covering the Cowhide Scroll vanished, and a line of text appeared before his eyes.
[The Superior Martial Arts, Longevity Inner Elixir Skill, has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a top-tier Inner Cultivation Martial Arts: Longevity Technique]
"Longevity Technique?!"
Staring at the crimson prompt, Fang Xing was slightly taken aback. The name sounded familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite recall where.
’Longevity Technique... that’s a good name. As a top-tier Inner Cultivation Martial Arts, it can’t be bad.’
Pushing aside his stray thoughts, Fang Xing carefully examined the Martial Arts on the Cowhide Scroll before him.
The Longevity Technique was an Inner Cultivation Technique; it contained no offensive moves like other Martial Arts.
Fang Xing memorized it after just one reading.
After finishing the Longevity Technique, he had a clear understanding of this Martial Arts.
The Longevity Technique was extremely powerful in terms of Inner Cultivation.
Compared to it, the Inner Cultivation method of the Demon Suppression Skill was not on the same level at all.
Just as its name implied, cultivating the Longevity Technique would grant one a long and Extraordinary lifespan. freewebnøvel.com
Cultivating it to a high realm could even grant eternal youth, preserving one’s prime forever!
And the entry requirement for this top-tier Inner Cultivation Martial Arts was Neutralizing Force Cultivation.
Anyone below Neutralizing Force was not even qualified to practice it.
This Martial Arts was exceptionally formidable on the path of Inner Cultivation.
Just reaching the initial stage of cultivation would make one’s Power incredibly dense and inexhaustible.
The next step involved the realm of Pseudo-Immortal Cultivation.
Beyond the Neutralizing Force realm was the True Qi Realm!
The Longevity Technique emphasized one thing: stability!
The Power it generated was dense, several times greater than that of others at the same level.
The first step in cultivating the Longevity Technique was converting one’s own qi and blood into Power.
Qi and Blood into Power!
Only upon entering the realm of Pseudo-Immortal Cultivation would the true terror of the Longevity Technique manifest.
It allowed one to absorb the Heaven and Earth Qi to forge their own Longevity True Qi.
It could manifest the properties of other Inner Cultivation Martial Arts, such as the characteristics of raging fire or freezing ice, with one-hundred-percent perfection.
All-encompassing!
’As long as I master the basics of this top-tier Martial Arts, my strength will grow rapidly.’
’Not bad.’
Looking at the enhanced Longevity Technique, Fang Xing was very satisfied.
Especially the later promise of longevity and eternal youth—it was incredibly tempting.
After reading through it one more time, Fang Xing calmed his mind, sat cross-legged, assumed a unique posture, and began to cultivate.
