Practice begins with immortality

The next morning, Wang Bai waved goodbye to everyone and set out on his journey back to Qingcheng. He continued on his way until he finally arrived at the foot of Qingxuan Mountain and found the cave he once lived in.

Entering the cave, Wang Bai took a deep breath, feeling the tranquil atmosphere around him. This was the ideal place for him to prepare for a breakthrough. He sat quietly on a rock, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing and mentality.

As time passed, Wang Bai's internal organs gradually grew stronger under the nourishment of his qi and blood. He could feel his vitality constantly increasing, as if he had been reborn. A quarter of an hour later, a dull sound suddenly emanated from Wang Bai's body.

The muffled sound resonated throughout the cave like thunder. Wang Bai opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. He knew that this moment meant he had successfully broken through his inner cultivation!

"After nearly two years in this world, I finally became an internal martial artist!" Wang Bai said excitedly, and then began to feel the strength of his internal martial arts.

"The strength is about two thousand pounds, and the physical strength, resistance to poison and perception are greatly improved."

Wang then calmed down and sensed his surroundings. "I can sense any movement within fifty meters! Only a normal warrior who has reached perfection in inner cultivation can possess such a powerful perception! It must be because I use blood elixirs to cultivate."

Blood training not only damages the body but also puts a mental burden on it. However, Wang Bai possesses a mysterious ball of light that restores his body and mind, which passively increases Wang Bai's mental strength, greatly enhancing his memory and perception. When the external training is complete, Wang Bai can sense a person's breathing and heartbeat within fifteen meters. It was with this powerful perception that Wang Bai was able to see through Niu Er's tricks before.

"With my current blood and qi quality, the effect of using blood solution will only be better, and I can feel that the light ball is recovering my damage faster now." Wang Bai said softly.

After saying this, he picked up the long knife and cut a deep wound on his left arm. Fresh red blood immediately flowed out. However, surprisingly, almost at the same moment, Wang Bai felt a trace of strange power emerge in his body, and this power quickly gathered at the wound.

Then, a miracle happened. The hideous wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time had flown backwards. In less than a breath, the wound on Wang Bo's left arm was completely repaired, smooth as before, without even a trace of a scar left!

Wang Bai widened his eyes and looked at his left arm in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and surprise.

"It seems that this amazing recovery ability will increase as I break through my realm. When I break through to a higher realm in the future, I'm afraid I will be able to regenerate severed limbs and even achieve immortality!"

……

A day later, Wang Bai returned to Qingcheng and went directly to Tieyi Martial Arts School to visit Huang Li.

"Junior brother, you came back so soon, did something happen?"

In response to Huang Li's question, Wang Bo told Huang Li the answer he had prepared long ago.

"I never thought there would be a martial artist who had reached the Outer Forging Great Accomplishment stage on Qingxuan Mountain, but you, Junior Brother, easily killed him! It seems that the Qingxuan Mountain area will be peaceful for a long time to come."

"That's nothing. That bandit just has empty strength. By the way, Senior Brother, I see that your aura is long. Did you successfully break through the inner cultivation?"

"Well, I was lucky to break through. By the way, Junior Brother, please come to me directly after you return to the city. Is there anything wrong?" Wang Bai then told Huang Li that he came to ask because he didn't know much about the eldest senior brother's affairs.

"I don't know much about you, Senior Brother. Back then, I was a refugee, fortunately being taken in by our Master because of my talent. By then, Senior Brother had already reached the Perfect Outer Refining stage. His talent was astonishing, only slightly inferior to yours. Perhaps because of this exceptional talent, he didn't want to waste too much time in the Outer Refining stage."

"So, not long after I officially became his disciple, my eldest brother bid farewell to our master and resolutely embarked on the journey of the martial arts world, traveling around and seeking his own opportunities."

"You've heard about what happened later. Two years ago, Senior Brother sent us a letter informing us that he had joined the imperial court and had earned the appreciation and respect of a noble. He has now successfully reached the minor stage of inner cultivation. The purpose of that letter was to invite Master to join him in the government. However, he didn't reveal anything specific about what he was going to do, stating only that it was an imperial secret and shouldn't be leaked lightly."
