Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 618 Successive Breakthroughs: Inner Alchemy Nourishment Technique Breaks Through, Immortal Root Breaks Through the Ground!
The Dongling Mountains.

At this moment, the setting sun slowly sank to the same level as the mountains.

The sky gradually darkened.

The mountains and forests were desolate and even quieter.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (Mastery 121/1000)

Jiang Ning looked at his panel and was in a great mood.

Like the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword, it is also a superior sword technique.

He mastered the Yin-Yang Sword Technique from the level of proficiency to mastery after only practicing it once.

Compared to the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword, the Two Elements Sword is undoubtedly much faster to master.

This shows that his kendo talent has indeed improved significantly.

Furthermore, improving one's talent in swordsmanship greatly assists in mastering sword techniques and martial arts.

next moment.

As he raised his sword, his aura surged, and the air around him instantly formed a circle.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +63]

【.】

As the sun slowly set and the world grew increasingly dark, the experience points of the Yin-Yang Sword were increasing rapidly.

After a while.

He sheathed his sword again, and the aura that had gathered around him for a foot, no longer restrained by the sword's power, suddenly spread out in all directions.

The shockwave spread like a tide, bending the grass and trees, and swirling sand and stones.

But without the pull, this energy eventually dissipated into a wave of uncontrolled movement, losing its power.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (Mastery 875/1000)

"Such high efficiency!"

He glanced at the panel, admired it in his heart, then closed the panel and continued practicing his swordsmanship.

As the sun completely sank behind the mountain peaks, the light in the world quickly dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, all that could be seen was darkness.

The dense forest was unusually deep and quiet at this moment.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, the mountains and forests shook.

It was as if a flash flood had suddenly erupted, startling countless birds in the forest.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword again. The once lush ground around him was now completely bare, revealing a layer of brown soil.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (Perfect 1000/1000)

"The progress bar is full!"

He looked at the panel and his expression brightened.

Then I scanned the energy points column.

【Source Energy】:64011
Seeing that he had accumulated five figures of source energy points, he had no more hesitation.

With a thought, the energy points decreased by a point.

[Source Energy]: 63911 (64011→63911)

As his energy points dwindled, he closed his eyes.

The aura around him flowed slowly.

An invisible current of energy gathered around him, gradually coalescing into a circle.

As the air currents continued to converge and circulate around him, the originally illusory and invisible air currents gradually became visible.

at this time.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, instantly disrupting the balance of Qi.

The swirling air around him seemed to be no longer restrained, and suddenly spread out in all directions.

In an instant, the wind and sand swirled, and the grass and trees were swept up.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (One-time limit break 101/2000) (Trait: Balance of Strength and Flexibility (Light Green))

【The balance of strength and gentleness】: combining strength with gentleness, and gentleness with strength, is the pinnacle of skill.

After glancing at the panel, Jiang Ning closed it.

The green-level characteristics don't offer him much benefit right now, nor are they worth his excessive attention.

This newly added characteristic is clearly derived from the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Hard and Soft Sword.

He has mastered the transformation of his ideas into reality.

He closed the panel and resumed practicing his swordplay.

As soon as the sword aura was unleashed, he immediately felt something different.

The swordplay was more natural and fluid, as if he were a swordsman with decades, or even centuries, of experience in this sword technique.

The sword in his hand moved fluidly, its movements seamlessly shifting between strength and gentleness, displaying unparalleled freedom.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +101]

When he saw the prompt that appeared in front of him, his hand suddenly stopped moving, and his immersive state was instantly broken.

He also sheathed his sword and stood there, looking surprised.

Then, a slow smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself.

"It seems I underestimated the characteristic of combining strength and flexibility!"

"This characteristic may not improve my strength much, nor is it of much benefit to other areas, but it is of great benefit to the improvement of this sword technique."

Afterwards, he practiced his sword again.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +101]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +104]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +103]

【.】

As night falls and the moon rises, the silent mountains and forests are instantly draped in a light veil.

boom! ! !
Another sound, like a flash flood, rang out, and the forest was filled with some noise again.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (Break Limit 2000/2000 in one go) (Trait: Balance of Strength and Flexibility (Light Green))

Seeing the familiar plus sign reappear on the panel, Jiang Ning smiled.

Having the characteristic of combining strength and flexibility greatly increases his efficiency in gaining experience points for the Yin-Yang Sword.

The requirement of two thousand experience points can be achieved simply by accumulating them through several rounds of sword practice.

Subsequently.

He had a thought in his mind.

[Source Energy]: 63711 (63911→63711)

The number of energy points immediately decreased by several hundred points.

After a while.

boom! ! !
As the airflow spread, he reopened his eyes.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (Second Limit Break 97/3000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Flexibility (Light Green) Defense (Dark Green))

【Defense (Dark Green)】: Skilled in defense, possessing extraordinary talent in related areas.

"Guard?"

Looking at his own screen, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

Immediately, he resumed practicing his swordplay.

In an instant, Fu Ruxin's understanding of the Yin-Yang Sword changed completely.

It was as if we were examining this sword technique from a completely new perspective.

A series of flashes of inspiration kept coming to mind.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +113]

【.】

After finishing one round of swordplay, he sheathed his sword and stood there, inwardly amazed.

"exaggerate!!"

After breaking through in swordsmanship, the efficiency of gaining experience points not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

With his current efficiency, each jump brings over a hundred experience points. He knows that it won't be long before he accumulates enough experience points to break through this sword technique again.

As for the source energy points he has accumulated so far.

For a martial art of superior swordsmanship, the initial breakthrough required by such a technique did not stir the slightest ripple in his mind.

a long time.

When the moon rises above the treetop.

He withdrew his sword stance once more.

The air currents gathered around him, no longer restrained by the sword's power, instantly spread in all directions.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (Second Limit Break 3000/3000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Flexibility (Light Green) Defense (Dark Green))

He looked at his panel again.

The familiar plus sign on the panel reappeared.

Immediately, a thought occurred to him.

[Source Energy]: 63211 (63711→63211)

The number of power points on the panel suddenly decreased by exactly 500.

He was also adept at breaking through the limitations of the Yin-Yang Sword Technique. In the blink of an eye...

The breakthrough has already been achieved.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (3 times breaking the limit 35/4000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green) Defense (Dark Green) Graceful as a Swan (Light Green))

【Graceful as a startled swan (light green)】: Possesses extraordinary talent in agility.

After reviewing his own panel, he immediately closed it.

This led to a characteristic that increases agility, but he still hasn't developed any characteristics related to swordsmanship talent, which makes him somewhat disappointed.

"I can only hope to break through the limits later. Fortunately, the Two Elements Soft and Hard Sword is still quite efficient at gaining experience points!"

He silently consoled himself.

He then resumed practicing his swordsmanship.

As soon as the sword strike began, the energy was drawn together, and the airflow swirled around him for a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), as if trapped in this small space by an invisible force, constantly swirling and accumulating.

In the blink of an eye, the swirling airflow became clearly visible.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +73]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +75]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +73]

【.】

He glanced at the flashing prompts briefly, then focused entirely on practicing his swordsmanship.

The next morning.

boom! ! !
Another sound, like a mountain torrent erupting, rang out.

The tall trees deep in the mountains bent low, struggling against the brief burst of fierce wind.

Deep in the mountains and forests.

call--

Jiang Ning let out a soft breath.

His eyes looked tired.

I didn't rest all night last night; I practiced swordsmanship for a whole day and night.

He was completely absorbed in it, which took a huge toll on his mental and physical energy, and even he felt somewhat tired.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword + (Three Limit Breaks 4000/4000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green), Defense (Dark Green), Graceful as a Swan (Light Green))

However, when he saw the changes on the panel, his spirits lifted instantly and his eyes brightened.

The Yin-Yang Sword has once again accumulated enough experience points to meet the requirements for breaking through its limits.

[Source Energy]: 113789
His gaze swept over the Energy Points column, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

Although yesterday's blood transfusion nearly depleted his reserves, it also brought him an exaggerated increase in source energy points.

This allowed him to accumulate six figures in his energy points, exceeding the 100,000 mark.

This moment instantly made him feel happy.

Then he scanned the skills section.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Cultivation Technique + (Three Breakthroughs to 4000/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
After successfully breaking through the 100,000 mark in energy points, a plus sign appeared for the attributes in the Inner Alchemy Health Cultivation section.

"It seems I can make a huge improvement today!" Jiang Ning thought as he saw the changes on the panel.

Then, he clenched his fist.

From today onwards, I should be able to get closer to the level of powerhouses like the Prince of Huai'an.

a long time.

call--

He exhaled softly, his gaze sweeping across the panel, a thought flashing through his mind.

[Source Energy]: 112789 (113789→112789)

The energy points were immediately reduced by one thousand.

After a while.

The Two Elements Sword of Strength and Softness has now been mastered.

[Skill]: Yin-Yang Sword (Four Limit Breaks 13/5000) (Traits: Balance of Strength and Softness (Light Green) Defense (Light Blue↑) Graceful as a Swan (Light Green))
"Not bad!"

Upon seeing the change on the panel, he nodded slightly.

From the changes last night, he knew that the Guardian trait greatly improved the experience point acquisition efficiency of the Yin-Yang Sword.

【Defense (Light Blue)】: Skilled in defensive techniques, possessing remarkable talent in related fields.

After reviewing the changes in the description of the defensive trait, he closed the panel.

Then the sword in his hand rose up again.

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +88]

[Two Elements Hard and Soft Sword Experience Points +81]

【.】

After finishing one round of swordplay, he sheathed his sword and stood still, letting the swirling energy around him dissipate freely, sweeping in all directions like a flash flood.

"No problem!" He nodded in satisfaction.

The realm of the Yin-Yang Sword has been broken through, and the efficiency of gaining experience points should have decreased, but now it has increased instead.

This undoubtedly shows that upgrading the Guardian trait has been of great help to him.

Especially for the Yin-Yang Sword, the enhancement brought by defense is more obvious.

next moment.

He thrust his long sword into the ground and then sat down cross-legged.

"Now comes the main event!"

He stared intently at the section on Neidan Health Preservation Exercises.

[Skill]: Internal Alchemy Cultivation Technique + (Three Breakthroughs to 40000/40000) (Characteristics: Longevity Seed (Dark Purple) Pure Yang Body (Dark Purple))
After he finished digesting the spiritual treasures he brought from Shangyang Cave yesterday, especially the heartwood of the divine tree.

The progress of the internal alchemy health cultivation exercise has been fully accumulated; the only thing lacking is source energy points.

Now, the number of energy points has exceeded 100,000, which meets the requirements for breaking through the limits of Neidan health cultivation.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of excitement.

From the Prince of Huai'an, he learned what the pinnacle of martial arts truly meant.

When essence, energy, and spirit are perfectly integrated, one reaches the pinnacle of martial arts.

He is also a true top expert in the world.

Just like the Prince of Huai'an, one person could contend with two old monsters from the cave, two old monsters who had lived for over a thousand years.

Both the Great Luo Heavenly Hand of the Prince of Huai'an and the Embracing Mountain Seal displayed extraordinary power.

The former, Da Luo Tian Shou, injured Pang Yunhai with a single move.

The latter, the Baoshan Seal, was a world-shaking sword strike used to counter Qingyuan Daoren.

When the Prince of Huai'an used the Great Luo Heaven Hand, Pang Yunhai immediately realized that the Prince of Huai'an had reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

Clearly, the Great Luo Heavenly Hand is no longer activated by true essence, but rather by the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit.

Now, thanks to the extraordinary abilities he gained from repeatedly breaking through the limits of his internal alchemy cultivation technique, he has mastered the power of this aspect ahead of time.

This made Jiang Ning instantly realize the extraordinary nature of the Neidan health cultivation technique.

This is enough to enable him to overcome the strong with the weak and to fight enemies across borders.

In an instant.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Then, the Demon-Subduing Sword Intent erupted, instantly clearing his mind of distractions. His gaze returned to clarity, and he once again focused on the panel.

[Source Energy]: 112789
He glanced at the energy points column again and then shook his head.

"There's nothing to hesitate about!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, a sudden thought struck him.

In an instant.

The energy points plummeted like a waterfall in an instant.

[Source Energy]: 12789 (112789→12789)

In just a moment, the number of energy points dropped from six digits to five digits, a decrease of a full 100,000 points.

Catalyzed by this, a golden sun slowly rose in his heart.

Then, countless golden rays burst forth from every pore on the body.

this moment.

As dawn broke, a golden sun slowly rose over the mountains and forests.

Golden light shone brightly, enveloping the mountains and forests.

At that moment, Jiang Ning felt as if he were enveloped by the warm winter sun, his whole body feeling warm and comfortable.

Subsequently.

pat-

He suddenly heard a sound like tender buds breaking through the soil inside his body.

"This is!!!"

When his gaze fell on his dantian, he was immediately taken aback.

He saw it in his dantian.

A tender sprout breaks through the soil and emerges from the ground.

Above the dantian, the inner core at this moment resembled a golden sun, hanging high in the sky, constantly radiating light.

The tender shoots that had just emerged below were now striving to grow upwards, toward the golden sun.
