Chapter 16 Cleansing the tendons and marrow

  "Try it!"   With a merit method that had no drawbacks, Zhang Xian did not hesitate and began to cultivate according to the method recorded in the Heaven's Path merit method.   The pores of his entire body opened wide, absorbing aura into his body.   The first four levels of a martial artist.   The first level of Breath Gathering, the second level of Dantian, the third level of True Qi, and the fourth level of Skin and Bones.   Gathering Breath Realm, gathering internal breath, sensing the aura, allowing one to see internally and mentally accurately control the swimming of the aura in the body, where it goes.   Dantian realm, open up the dantian, so that it can hold spiritual qi, transform the body, ordinary people are thus transformed into martial artists.   True qi realm, bringing together spiritual qi to form true qi in the dantian.   Skin and Bone Realm, the true qi fills the dantian, it will automatically flow out and nourish the whole body, and the whole person's physical qualities will become stronger, the heart and lungs ability will increase, and they will turn into a truly strong person.   The first three levels of a martial artist are the foundation, and it is only in the fourth level that the real feedback to the whole body begins, allowing one to be free from sickness and pain and become stronger and stronger.   The method of cultivation of the Nine Heavens of Hong Tian is to utilize the true qi overflowing from the dantian to warm up the whole body, so that one's bones, muscles, sinews, and skin, are all greatly improved, thus achieving the effect of quenching one's skin and bones.   The Heavenly Dao Divine Skill was different, nourishing the physical body with the help of the heaven and earth's spiritual qi, while the true qi in the body also fed back to the torso, both of them working in a two-pronged manner at the same time.   Gu Gu Gu Gu!   The qi formed by the spiritual qi flowed along the meridians and flowed all over the body, the true qi was like the one that repaired bridges and roads, filling in the places that the spiritual qi had traveled through that had not yet been repaired.   Cluck! Cackle!   Within a short period of time, under the dual infusion of spiritual qi and true qi, his bones and muscles were all greatly quenched, as if they had been scorched by a fine fire, crystal clear, radiating a warm glow.   Rumble!   After the True Qi traveled an unknown number of circles, his entire body shook, and Zhang Xian felt a wave of relief as if he had broken some bottleneck.   Before, his body was as if it was bound with some kind of shackle, but now, his entire body was relaxed, and his every move was free as if he wanted it to be, as if he had been reborn from his cocoon and had feathered himself into a butterfly.   "Martial Artist 4th Skin and Bone Realm ...... cultivation is finished?"   Opening his eyes, Zhang Hang was a bit in disbelief until now.   Martial Artist Fourth Level Skin and Bone Realm, the sign of a breakthrough was to break the shackles of the physical body and enter a new world, how long had he cultivated for? One hour? Two hours?   "It stinks!"   Strange in his mind, he looked at his body and realized that a dense layer of dirt had appeared on the surface of his body.   The Skin and Bone Realm was to nourish and expel impurities from the body through true qi, washing the tendons and marrow, and removing the bones.   People grow from birth, in order to survive will eat in a variety of food, impurities will also be more and more accumulation, skin and bone realm through the true qi nourishment, the impurities out, in order to allow people to break the shackles of the flesh, back to nature.   "I've heard of the Skin and Bone Realm a long time ago, but ...... I've never seen anyone who can get so many impurities out!"   Seeing the fishy smelling body, Zhang Hang could no longer hold back, getting a wooden bucket and muttering darkly as he bathed.   Martial Artist 4 Skin and Bone Realm, washing the tendons and marrow, can make the flesh body enhance a trace is good, never heard of, can get out so many impurities, make one's whole body smell fishy.   Soon, the cleaning was completed, Zhang Hang realized that the muscles of his entire body were as crystal clear as jade, smooth as a mirror, and the scars and such left behind by his previous cultivation had all disappeared cleanly, and at this moment, he was as smooth as a newborn baby, even smoother than a baby.   "My true qi ......"   Shocked by the changes in his physical body, he unintentionally looked at his dantian and couldn't help but have his whole body shaken.   The previously turbid true qi within the dantian had all turned as clear as water at this moment, radiating a pure aura.   One didn't need to see it to know that this definitely belonged to the upper third grade of true qi!   "Not only has the body improved, even the quality of the true qi has been enhanced, this ...... Heaven's Path Divine Skill is also too powerful!"   Zhang Hang was shocked.   When other people broke through the Skin and Bone Realm, they needed to constantly nourish themselves, and it was difficult to refine without a few years of effort, but he only used less than two hours to directly break through, and not only that, even the quality of his true qi had been enhanced, what kind of secret book had the Heaven's Path Library formed?   This was too heaven-defying!   "Try the power! Breaking through the Skin and Bone Realm will result in reaching the Martial Artist 5th Tripod Realm, once this realm is stepped into, the cultivator will possess the power of a Tripod!"   A few steps came to the force measuring stone pillar tens of meters away from the dormitory.   This kind of force measuring stone pillars were almost everywhere in the academy, which could satisfy the students to test their cultivation anytime, anywhere.   Once a martial artist of the fifth dingli realm stepped into it, he immediately possessed the strength of a dingli, which was around one thousand kilograms.   This kind of qi strength was already beyond ordinary people, and was comparable to that of an ox or a horse.   Zhang Hang had practiced what was recorded in the Heavenly Dao Divine Skill, shedding his bones and successfully breaking through the Skin and Bone Realm, just so he could try to see how much power he possessed, and if it was the same as the legend, that he already possessed the power of a tripod.   Concentrating and quieting his breath, his feet grasped the ground, his knees bounced violently, his spine, along with his body, immediately formed a large bow, while his arms burst out steeply like a shot arrow.   Boom!   A halo of light flowed as the fist struck the stone pillar.   "5 Tripods!"   The number was displayed on it.   "How is this ...... this ...... possible?"   Zhang Hang's pupils contracted and his face was filled with dumbfoundedness.   Really?   Usually, at the early stage of the Ding Li Realm, one possessed the power of one tripod, at the middle stage, two, at the late stage, three, and at the peak, four!   He just broke through the Skin and Bone Realm and reached the Tripod Realm, and actually possessed five Tripods of strength, what the ...... hell is going on?   It's too exaggerated!   "It must be due to the Heaven's Path Divine Skill, tempering the flesh, and the Upper Third Grade True Qi ......"   After a few moments, which recovered, Zhang Hang secretly speculated in his heart.   Whether he was a genius or not, he himself knew very well.   The only explanation was the Heavenly Dao Divine Gong that he had just practiced.   This gong method had not only tempered his physical body, allowing it to shed its bones and purify his true qi, allowing it to reach the standard of the Upper Third Grade, but it had also allowed him to increase his power so much that he had only just entered the fifth level of the Martial Artist Tripod Realm, and possessed a power that surpassed that of a peak powerhouse of the Tripod Realm!   Terrifying!   "Martial Artist Fifth Level, in the academy only some senior teachers can reach it!"   Martialist Fifth Heavy Dinli Realm, only some senior teachers in the academy could have this kind of strength, and people like Cao Xiong, who were similar to him, couldn't reach it at all.   "Reaching this kind of strength, it's also time to find the cultivation technique for the fifth level ......"   The strength progressed quickly, while problems also came out.   The so many fourth gravity cultivation techniques that he had previously gone through in the Teacher's Book Depository were no longer usable, and if he wanted to continue to cultivate, he could only go looking for the fifth gravity cultivation method again.   "It's not too late in the day, the Teacher's Book Collection Pavilion shouldn't be closed yet ......"   Scratching his head, Zhang Xian once again walked in the direction of the Book Collection Pavilion.   In order to prevent many people from being greedy in their cultivation, the academy had thus made it a rule that only those who had cultivated to the corresponding level would be able to go and view the corresponding techniques.   Not long after, once again, he came to the Book Collection Pavilion.   "Why are you here again?"   Seeing that it was him, Elder Mo, who was guarding the door, frowned.   This pompous fellow had just left not long ago, what was this coming back for?   "Reporting back to Elder Mo, I want to take a look at the fifth cultivation technique!" Zhang Hang was embarrassed.   He couldn't say that he had just gone back for a short period of time and had directly made a breakthrough, could he?   If he really wanted to say that, I'm afraid that the other party would pull him over as a guinea pig for study even if he didn't beat himself to death.   Skin and Bone Realm, Ding Li Realm, the true qi wouldn't change much, so as long as one didn't understand true qi, even the strongest person wouldn't be able to see it, and even though Elder Mo was powerful, he wouldn't have imagined that this teenager had only gone back for such a little bit of time, and had already made a breakthrough of a level.   "Fifth weight gong method? What is this nonsense?"   Mo Lao's face sank, the last trace of appreciation for this guy, also swept away.   The fourth weight hadn't even been transcribed or practiced, and this came over, looking at the fifth weight? What a joke!   "Elder Mo, it's like this, it's because I'm accepting students today, and one of the student's parents asked me about cultivating the fifth weight, and I couldn't answer it, which made him look down on it a little bit, so ...... I want to take a look at it first and find out the answer, so that if I come across this kind of question again in the future, I'll be able to deal with it into the stream!"   Zhang Hang had long thought of an excuse and said.   "Some parents are indeed tricky!" Hearing this explanation, Elder Mo nodded with a serious face, "You can take a look at it, but don't cultivate it! If you want to cultivate the fifth level without even practicing the fourth level, once you go off the deep end, no god can save you!"   "Yes, I know this point!"   Zhang Xian hurriedly said.   "Alright, go in!" Elder Mo waved his hand and continued to close his eyes, "The last row of the Fifth Heavy Feat Technique category!"   "Yes!" Zhang Hang hurriedly walked in.   "Hypocrisy! Vain!"   Seeing him walk in, Elder Mo once again added a four-word comment to him.
