Chapter 42: Advancing to the Sinew Refinement Realm! (Seeking Reads)
Boom!
Rushing!
As the Five Organs Cultivation Technique continued to circulate within Qin Zheng's body, a thunderous roar and the sound of rushing rivers reverberated.
Qin Zheng realized that these sounds were caused by the tremors of his five organs and the flow of vital blood qi.
As the noise grew louder, he could feel his inner body gradually becoming stronger.
Beneath his skin, the flesh seemed to glow like blood jade under the powerful wash of blood qi.
Bang!
At a certain moment, Qin Zheng heard a faint, illusory voice in his ear.
When he regained his senses, he realized that the Five Organs Cultivation Technique had stopped circulating.
Unbeknownst to him, his Muscle Refinement Realm had silently reached perfection, successfully breaking through the three major gates and advancing to the Sinew Refinement Realm!
Even though Qin Zheng had already anticipated the power of internal martial arts, at this moment, he was still deeply shocked.
Just half a day of cultivation was equivalent to several months of training in external martial arts, moving qi and blood!
Although this was Qin Zheng's first time cultivating, releasing the long-accumulated qi and blood within his body contributed to this achievement.
Nevertheless, reaching this level was truly astonishing!
No wonder the aristocratic families tightly controlled the knowledge of internal martial arts; such a cultivation speed was indeed remarkable!
If everyone were allowed to practice internal martial arts, the number of warriors in the world would likely skyrocket!
As the saying goes, "A hero's actions may transgress the law." If the number of warriors increases, the world will inevitably descend into chaos!
Qin Zheng stood up, sensing the enhanced strength within his body.
At this moment, with the perfection of his Muscle Refinement Realm and advancement to the Sinew Refinement Realm, his inner body could now withstand even greater power.
He could now effortlessly manipulate four thousand jin of strength.
With force, he could even summon five thousand jin of unstoppable might!
This power far surpassed the three thousand jin achievable in the Bone Refinement Realm!
Thus, in terms of strength, Qin Zheng had transcended the first realm of martial arts.
However, the realm above this was not mentioned when Ji Changyin explained the martial arts realms to him.
Qin Zheng hadn't sought information about it elsewhere either.
In a remote border town like Black Goose City, the first realm of martial arts, encompassing the four major gates of skin, flesh, sinews, and bones, was already an unattainable level for most.
No one dared to dream of or inquire about the realm beyond the Bone Refinement Realm.
After returning, Qin Zheng might attempt to discover what realm lay beyond the four major gates.
Qin Zheng thought to himself as he directed a wisp of his spirit into the sea of consciousness, gazing at the floating Virtue Scroll.
[Qin Zheng]
[Lifespan: 70 (17)]
[Martial Arts: Five Organs Cultivation Technique (Beginner), Bodhimanda Dharmachakra (4th Layer), Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique (Great Accomplishment)]
[Virtue: 11 taels and 8 qian]
[Upgrade Bodhimanda Dharmachakra? 1 tael of virtue is required. Proceed?]
[Upgrade Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique? 8 taels of virtue are required. Proceed?]
[Upgrade Five Organs Cultivation Technique? 10 taels of virtue are required. Proceed?]
Qin Zheng had unknowingly cultivated numerous martial arts, advancing them to impressive levels.
However, his virtue had dwindled to just 11 taels and 8 qian.
At least 1 tael of virtue was needed to upgrade the Bodhimanda Dharmachakra.
Thus, the remaining 10 taels of virtue could only be used to upgrade either the Five Organs Cultivation Technique or the Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique.
One technique could accelerate his internal body refinement, while the other could enhance his spiritual perception.
Both were aspects Qin Zheng wanted to improve.
"Still not enough virtue," Qin Zheng sighed softly, feeling a sense of poverty.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Zheng decided to prioritize enhancing his Five Organs Cultivation Technique. After all, the foundation of all martial arts lay in strengthening the inner body. Only by doing so could he support the development of powerful external skills.
Without hesitation, Qin Zheng silently recited in his mind, "Enhance, Five Organs Cultivation Technique!"
Instantly, ten taels of merit were deducted from the Virtue Scroll. Correspondingly, a faint glow emanated from Qin Zheng's five organs.
Qin Zheng could feel that in this moment, his five organs seemed to have been strengthened!
The five organs, the repositories of spirit, blood, and soul, were now fortified. As they were enhanced, Qin Zheng's mind and body trembled, experiencing a surge of power!
Immediately, the five organs began to vibrate with increased intensity. It was as if the deep-rooted qi and blood hidden within his body were being drawn out, like mighty rivers, cleansing his flesh and blood with an even more peculiar trajectory.
After the enhancement, the efficiency of his cultivation technique's improvement increased, and the speed of his inner body's strengthening followed suit! At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could fully master the Sinew Tempering Realm and advance to the Bone Tempering Realm!
Qin Zheng estimated that within three months, he would be able to consecutively break through the four major gates and reach the Bone Tempering Realm!
If he had enough merit, and enhanced the Five Organs Cultivation Technique again, he might not even need three months!
However, not long after he began cultivating his internal martial arts, Qin Zheng noticed that the qi and blood within his body were becoming thinner.
The five organs gradually calmed down.
Simultaneously, a wave of dizziness washed over his mind, and a feeling of weakness, akin to anemia, surged in his heart.
This won't do!
The speed of his internal cultivation was too fast, and the consumption of qi and blood within his body increased accordingly!
The accumulated qi and blood in his body were no longer sufficient to support the cultivation technique's operation! He needed to replenish his flesh and blood, filling the gap caused by the depletion of qi and blood.
Qin Zheng turned to the headless bear corpse beside him, his eyes glowing green like a hungry ghost. "Selling steamed buns, freshly made with thin skins!"
"Tanghulu! Selling candied hawthorn skewers!"
". . ."
At noon, the streets of the southern part of Black Goose City were filled with various peddlers' cries.
Qin Zheng, clad in a coarse hemp robe and carrying the Ghost Head Saber on his back, slowly made his way home.
After being away for only three days, Black Goose City had already returned to normal, as if the bandit attack on the city had never happened.
The entire city had regained its usual bustling atmosphere.
However, Qin Zheng noticed that in addition to the common folk, there were also some monks wearing white robes on the streets.
Their attire resembled that of the Impermanence Monk from the Temple of Rebirth. They were most likely monks from the same temple.
Groups of three or four commoners surrounded these monks, following them with pious expressions as they silently recited Buddhist sutras.
In the end, they would offer the monks silver taels, eggs, or meat.
The monks, however, did not refuse; they gladly accepted everything.
Qin Zheng recalled what Zhang Xiowen had said—it seemed there was some sort of transaction between these monks from the Temple of Rebirth and Gao Wusheng.
Instantly, Qin Zheng's impression of these monks soured.
Seeing this scene now only reinforced his suspicion of their peculiar behavior.
But since they hadn't caused any trouble for him, Qin Zheng turned his attention towards the southern courtyard and continued on his way.
During his three days in the deep mountains, Qin Zheng had not only eaten meat and cultivated but also attempted to find the old monk's trail.
Although he hadn't found the old monk, he had managed to kill some bandits who had fled into the mountains, accumulating some merit in the process.
Now, returning to Black Goose City and finding everything as it should be, Qin Zheng felt relieved.
He headed towards the small courtyard where Qi Yan and the others resided. After a short while, he arrived at the entrance.
After knocking a few times without any response, Qin Zheng's gaze intensified. He released his spiritual awareness and instantly sensed that the courtyard was empty!
