Chapter 42 I'll smash your skull to pieces

As one's internal strength improves, the time required for internal strength cultivation will inevitably increase.

However, for most martial artists, martial arts training is a slow process that takes more and more time as they progress.

At this point, the martial artist needs to decide for themselves whether to focus on internal energy cultivation or martial arts technique cultivation.

If one lacks talent and has limited energy, a choice must be made between the two.

[Cultivating internal energy techniques, achievement points +10.]

Just as another notification popped up in front of Gu Shaoan, who had finished nourishing his meridians and was controlling his internal energy to return to his dantian, Gu Shaoan glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was still cultivating opposite him, and picked up a medical book to read.

Gu Shaoan's mind was already immersed in the medical principles described in the book.

At the same time, Dr. Gu Shaoan's proficiency was also steadily improving.

He didn't even realize that the carriage beneath him had begun to re-enter the official road, his mind completely absorbed by the contents of the medical book on hand.

Gu Shaoan's thoughts were only interrupted when the carriage wheels beneath him lurched noticeably over a pothole.
[Studying medical books, achievement points +20.]

Current Achievement Points: 1002

Gu Shaoan's eyes lit up when he saw the notification message in front of him.

"Finally, I've collected enough achievement points."

Five days have passed since the bandits were wiped out.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan finally accumulated 1,000 achievement points.

With a thought, the image of a lottery wheel immediately popped into Gu Shaoan's mind.

With only a fraction of his achievement points remaining after just reaching four digits, the lottery wheel in front of him suddenly started spinning.

A few breaths later, when the roulette wheel stopped spinning, a notification popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

[Congratulations to the player for drawing a 20-year-old power card (superior constitution).]

The moment the notification popped up, the hand holding the medical book trembled involuntarily.

"A power card, and it's from twenty years ago?"

Gu Shaoan never expected that just a few days ago, Miejue had taken out the Bodhi Linglong Pill to increase his cultivation by two years, and now he had actually drawn a cultivation card that would grant him twenty years of cultivation.

Once used, Gu Shaoan's skill level will increase by twenty years.

Keep in mind that Gu Shaoan is only eleven years old at the moment.

What does it mean for an eleven-year-old child to possess more than twenty years of martial arts skills?
See these little hands?

One palm strike, and you'll feel the power of twenty-two years and two months of cultivation. Are you scared yet?

I'll smash your skull to pieces.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan felt like someone who had been poor for a long time had suddenly received a ton of gold, his emotions surging.

But when he opened his eyes and saw that Miejue and Zhou Zhiruo were meditating and cultivating together in the carriage, Gu Shaoan could only forcibly suppress the urge to use his power card immediately.

After all, once twenty years of internal energy is refined within one's own body, the resulting fluctuations in internal energy will inevitably be noticed by Miejue, who is standing nearby.

When the time comes, if someone were to probe his body with their inner force and discover that their eleven-year-old disciple's internal energy has suddenly reached the level of someone with over twenty years of cultivation, they would probably be terrified and question their existence.

It wasn't until evening, when the group passed through a town and checked into an inn, that Gu Shaoan, after locking the doors and windows, jumped onto the bed and sat cross-legged. Only then, with a heart full of excitement, did he retrieve the power card he had drawn during the day.

Wherever the mind goes, the word "use" seems to carry some kind of mysterious power.

The next moment, an unimaginably vast yet completely different from the volcanic eruption-like turbulence of the Bodhi Linglong Pill during the day, a mellow energy, like a waterfall of moonlight from the heavens, suddenly appeared in Gu Shaoan's body.

This power is gentle, pure, vast and boundless, carrying a sense of tranquility that comes with the passage of time.

It was as if it wasn't an external, forced infusion, but rather a sweet spring that naturally welled up from the depths of life's origin. There was no devastating pain as expected, only a warm current that felt almost overwhelming, instantly filling his limbs and bones, making every cell in Gu Shaoan seem to let out a comfortable sigh.

This energy is so immense, yet so gentle and docile.

The moment it entered his body, it seamlessly merged into his own Emei internal energy, becoming one with it.

It was as if the memories of those twenty years of arduous cultivation, along with the pure internal energy generated from the cultivation of his physical constitution, were all packaged and transferred to him at this moment.

However, being mild does not mean being easy to endure!
Twenty years of internal energy was simply too much. Although the tearing sensation from taking the Bodhi Linglong Pill was gone, his dantian was still being stretched and expanded rapidly by the energy that had suddenly increased twentyfold!

The feeling was like an intensified version of the urge to urinate in the middle of the night, an intense, nagging urge.

Fortunately, the internal energy within him was gentle and pure. In addition, Gu Shaoan had taken the Bodhi Linglong Pill a few days ago, which greatly improved his internal strength. With the full operation of the second level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill, the internal energy within him was quickly refined into his own power.

As one thing diminishes while the other increases, the feeling of tightness in the lower abdomen gradually eases.

As internal energy continued to increase and the cultivation technique was activated, those originally stable bottlenecks appeared extremely fragile in the face of this mighty torrent of internal energy, as powerful as a surging river.

Following the flow of internal energy, one hidden meridian after another was also opened up by this powerful internal energy.

In an instant, the circulation path of Gu Shaoan's "Emei Nine Yang Skill, Second Level" suddenly changed, encompassing several hidden meridians that had just been connected.

Immediately afterwards, even more hidden meridians were opened.

This caused the practice route of the second level of "Emei Nine Yang Skill" to change again.

In just a quarter of an hour, with the help of his powerful internal energy, Gu Shaoan's "Emei Nine Yang Skill, Second Level" had already reached the perfect level.

As the core internal energy cultivation method reaches its current level of perfection, the path of internal energy circulation instantly becomes several times more complex.

The internal energy within him was constantly compressed, tempered, and purified due to the changes in the cultivation method.

Until all the internal energy began to have a more majestic and profound flavor.

"Boom!"

Finally, at the peak of a certain limit, two sounds, like bubbles bursting, emerged from Gu Shaoan's body.

The belt meridian, one of the eight extraordinary meridians, was violently opened up under the impact of internal force.

Following closely behind are the Yin Qiao Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, and Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian.

Until the first and second levels of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" were all connected, Gu Shaoan suddenly felt his body lighten!
An indescribable sense of liberation swept through my entire body like a spring breeze across a frozen river!
In an instant, the torrent of internal energy surged and roared along the unobstructed network of meridians, without any further hindrance!
Wherever the internal energy passed, warmth and vitality filled the air.

Muscles, bones, and even internal organs are subtly nourished and strengthened in this high-speed, pure flow of internal energy.

a long time.

The surging internal energy, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, eventually converged into the "lake and sea" of the lower dantian, which had already been expanded to be even more vast and profound.

Gu Shaoan slowly opened his eyes. A glint of light seemed to flash deep within his dark pupils, like a cold star in the night sky, fleeting yet leaving a chilling trace of light.

The moment Gu Shaoan opened his eyes, he could even clearly see the barely perceptible scratch on the corner of the wall.

The sound of cicadas chirping was several times louder than usual.

Even their sense of smell has become more sensitive.

It is precisely the changes in the five senses that result from the unblocking and nourishment of the meridians.

Feel the flowing, heavy, mercury-like, condensed and surging power within my body.

Gu Shaoan looked excited.

Become!

　To borrow an explanation from a reader in the comments section, how powerful would Zhang Wuji be after mastering his divine skills eight years later? Even Abbess Miejue, at 47 years old with approximately 40 years of internal energy, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, wouldn't be a match for Zhang Wuji! The protagonist would have 22 plus 8, or 30 years of internal energy, still less than Abbess Miejue's 40 years of internal energy, so it won't be too outrageous, everyone can rest assured!
