Practice begins with immortality

After leaving the martial arts gym, Wang Bai immediately returned home and continued to study the Vajra Sutra and the insights and annotations therein.

"So that's how it is. After internal training, it's time to practice strength!" Wang Bai muttered to himself. And the Vajra Sutra he had obtained earlier was a very valuable method for practicing strength!

After carefully studying the Vajra Sutra and its annotations, Wang Bai finally understood how to break through to the realm of strength training.

When a warrior completes the two stages of external training and internal training, and the qi and blood in the body reach a certain limit, it will begin to gestate and transform into internal strength.

The process varies from person to person; for some people, success may take as little as two or three years, while for others, it may take as long as five or six years.

During this critical period, warriors must carefully protect themselves and absolutely avoid any physical harm. Injury could damage their Qi and Blood, leading to a failure in their breakthrough. Therefore, during this period, warriors are advised not to engage in intense combat or risky actions.

If you want to shorten the time required to develop internal strength, you can use some precious medicines to achieve it.

These precious medicines are extremely rare and mostly grow in deep mountains and old forests where few people go. They usually have unique patterns on their appearance, and some are even guarded by powerful exotic beasts.

When a warrior's inner strength breaks through the training strength, he can be respected as a martial arts master and have the ability to establish a school in the martial arts world.

Similarly, martial artists who practice martial arts are divided into four stages: entry, minor success, major success, and perfection.

Introduction to practicing strength: Cultivate internal strength and open up at least one meridian.

A small success in practicing strength: at least eight meridians are opened up, and the internal strength can be released outwards, making it easy to cut through gold and iron.

Practice the great skill: Completely open up the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians, so that the internal energy can flow endlessly and can cover the whole body.

Perfected Strength: Strength permeates the entire body, reaching every corner. This state is also known as the Grandmaster realm, and a Grandmaster warrior is a powerful being capable of confronting nearly a hundred elite warriors head-on! Unfortunately, even if one were to search the entire Xuan Kingdom and even all the surrounding countries, there wouldn't be more than a handful of martial arts masters.

"It seems that I have to go to the county town to attend the rally next month while also seeking information about the precious medicine to prepare for the future. During this time, I should focus on my cultivation!"

……

A month later, Wang Bo disguised himself and arrived at Yunshan County. He was wearing a plain gray robe and carrying a bag, looking like an ordinary traveler.

"It's worthy of being the core of a county, it's really prosperous!" Wang Bai sighed in his heart as he walked on the street.

The streets here are wide and flat, lined with shops overflowing with goods. The sounds of hawking are endless, offering all sorts of strange and exotic items for sale. Warriors abound among the passersby, including those practicing internal cultivation. They exude a powerful aura that inspires awe.

Wang Bai walked while observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, he saw a magnificent three-story building not far ahead. In front of the door hung a plaque with the three characters "Baibao Tower" written in a flamboyant style.

This is the largest gathering place for warriors in Yunshan County, and also the destination of Wang Bai’s trip.

Unlike the independent trade gatherings in smaller towns like Qingcheng, the gatherings in the county capital were held in the form of auctions. Here, one could find a variety of precious items, including weapons, techniques, and elixirs. Of course, these items required exchange for money or other treasures.

Wang Bai walked straight into the Treasure House. The two guards at the door didn't stop him, but politely nodded to him. After entering the hall, a beautiful maid came up to greet him. She asked with a smile, "Excuse me, sir, are you attending this auction?"

Wang Bai nodded in agreement. The maid then led him to a private room on the second floor and served him tea and snacks.

Throughout the whole process, the maid did not show any disgust because of Wang Bo's ordinary clothes, and always had a professional smile on her face.

"I wonder what brings this guest to Baibaolou?"

"This is my first time in the county town. I heard that the Treasure House is going to hold an auction soon, so I came here specifically to ask how to enter and some precautions."

"The Baibaolou auction will be held the night after tomorrow. Martial artists below the Inner Refinement level will need to spend ten taels of silver to purchase a ticket to enter. Martial artists above the Inner Refinement level can enter directly."

……

After finding out the news, Wang Bai returned to the inn he rented.

"There are still two days left, just in time to break through the realm first!" After a whole month of hard training, Wang Bai had already pushed his cultivation to the entry limit of internal cultivation, and was only one step away from breaking through to the minor success of internal cultivation!

As time passed, half an incense stick later, Wang Bai successfully broke through to the minor level of internal cultivation!

"I've gained about 500 kilograms of strength. If I add the blood-releasing secret method and my abilities, I can easily fight against someone who has achieved great inner cultivation!"
