Chapter 227 - 123: Gang Body Minor Success

As the last wisp of Medicinal Power from the Earth Core Marrow Tempering Milk was absorbed, Liang Cheng’s meridians faintly shimmered with a jade-like luster. Their resilience had increased again, and his physical defenses were further enhanced!

Even his meridians were tempered, and the circulation speed of his True Essence was more than twice as fast as before!

’Again!’

Sensing his Mixed Element Gang Body had advanced another step, Liang Cheng’s eyes were frighteningly bright.

He pressed on, taking another drop of the Earth Core Marrow Tempering Milk.

Liang Cheng let out another muffled grunt, enduring the intense pain as he once again circulated the Mixed Element Gang Body Heart Method.

This cycle repeated over and over until the entire bottle of Earth Core Marrow Tempering Milk was used up.

At this point, True Essence flowed ceaselessly through the seventy-two Gang Body acupoints throughout his body, faintly on the verge of forming their own cycle. His Mixed Element Gang Body was about to break through to the Minor Success Realm.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and circulated his Cultivation Technique.

The True Essence seed spewed out pure True Essence, which surged like the Yangtze River into the already opened Gang Body acupoints. Under this impact, the Gang Body acupoints began to tremble slightly, generating a mysterious attraction between one another.

’Combine!’

With a thought, Liang Cheng manipulated his True Essence to simultaneously strike the connection points of all the acupoints.

At first, the seventy-two Gang Body acupoints acted independently. The True Essence crashed into invisible barriers at the connection points, causing a sharp pain like being pricked by needles.

But Liang Cheng’s expression remained unchanged. He used the Crossing the Sea True Intent to assist, guiding and harmonizing the energy within his body. The True Essence seeped in like water, eroding the barriers strand by strand.

A day passed. Tiny cracks appeared on the barriers at the connection points.

Three days passed. The cracks spread like a spiderweb.

By the seventh day, the twenty-four Gang Body acupoints in his chest and abdomen were the first to connect!

True Essence flowed through them unimpeded, and its circulation speed surged by thirty percent.

Liang Cheng felt a warmth like a stove in his chest. A warm Qi Sensitivity spread out, causing his skin, flesh, muscles, and bones to tighten slightly under its nourishment.

’It’s not enough.’

Liang Cheng continued to digest the residual Medicinal Power of the Earth Core Marrow Tempering Milk, using it to assault the connection points of the Gang Body acupoints in his limbs, progressing with unstoppable momentum!

When the twenty acupoints in his arms were connected, a faint golden Protective Light Shield appeared on the skin of his arms.

The twenty acupoints in his feet soon followed.

When the connection of the final Gang Body acupoint in the sole of his foot was completed, Liang Cheng’s entire body shuddered. A current of heat shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head, and all seventy-two Gang Body acupoints throughout his body lit up simultaneously!

The Gang Qi formed a net, covering his entire body.

Each Gang Body acupoint was a node. The nodes connected, forming a complete Gang meridian network.

True Essence rushed through it ceaselessly, circulating over and over without any obstruction.

At this moment, Liang Cheng sat as still as a mountain. A faint golden light flowed beneath his skin. With every breath, the airflow within three feet of him swirled slightly, keeping dust at bay.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and threw a punch. A Gang Body shield naturally condensed around his fist, and the air let out a faint hum.

[Mixed Element Gang Body: Minor Success (1/8000)]

Liang Cheng exhaled, calming his emotions. Filled with a surge of heroic passion, he couldn’t help but rise and begin a saber dance.

Wind and Thunder Slash!

Mountain-Breaking Saber!

Saber auras danced, and True Essence surged!

At this time, his Mountain-Breaking Saber was only at the Beginner Level, its power still inferior to Wind and Thunder Slash, so he had not used it readily in his recent major battles.

But once the Mountain-Breaking Saber reached Minor Success and its power greatly increased, that would be its time to shine.

...

After that, he took Elixirs for his Cultivation every day. In his spare time, he practiced his saber and circulated his Mixed Element Gang Body. Under the no-bottleneck effect of his Mayfly Life Chart, he made continuous progress.

With such a high concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, plus the resources from Elixirs, his Cultivation speed reached a new level. Another two months passed like this.

[Third Layer of Broken Wave Technique: Beginner Level (4986/5000)]

[Mixed Element Gang Body: Minor Success (1178/8000)]

[Mountain-Breaking Saber: Beginner Level (2936/5000)]

The Broken Wave Technique was about to reach Minor Success!

At this moment, the nine True Essence Light Groups in his Dantian slowly revolved along a profound trajectory. They were drawn to each other by their Qi, creating a faint sensation of a rising and falling tide. The True Essence flowed through his Meridians like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Liang Cheng’s mind was calm, allowing the Cultivation Technique to circulate on its own. Under the influence of the Crossing the Sea True Intent Fragment, the Medicinal Power and Qi Blood were continuously converted, and everything fell into place naturally.

Just then, a subtle change occurred in his Dantian. After countless cycles of adjustment, the rotational frequency of the nine True Essence Light Groups finally achieved perfect synchronization.

The True Essence rose and fell like the tide, one wave pushing the next, circulating endlessly and full of life.

HUMMM—

A subtle ringing came from within his body, like the clear note of a zither string.

The nine True Essence Light Groups lit up at the same time. In the center of a hazy Qi Sea, the True Essence condensed on its own, and its circulatory path suddenly changed, becoming even more harmonious and smooth than before.

Liang Cheng opened his eyes, the sharp glint within them now restrained.

He raised his hand, and a small amount of True Essence pulsed from his palm.

A pale blue Qi Force left his body, traveling three feet before stirring up three ripples in the air, one after another, its Power long-lasting and continuous.

Liang Cheng opened his eyes, the sharp glint within them restrained. His internal True Essence now circulated in perfect harmony.

[Third Layer of Broken Wave Technique: Minor Success (1/12000)]

Liang Cheng took a deep breath, feeling he was in peak condition. His gaze finally fell upon the Gang Condensing Pill and the Yin Marrow Pearl.

He first picked up the Yin Marrow Pearl.

The pearl was ice-cold to the touch, with a deep blue light flowing within. The cold Yin Spiritual Qi it contained could temper the fiercely yang and domineering Medicinal Power of the Gang Condensing Pill.

Liang Cheng placed the Yin Marrow Pearl in his mouth, wrapped it in True Essence, and slowly drew out the cold Yin Spiritual Qi from within. At the same time, he opened a bottle of Gang Condensing Pills and tipped out a Pill that was golden-red all over with faint cloud-like patterns on its surface.

The moment the Pill appeared, the temperature in the Quiet Chamber shot up, and a searing hot aura began to fill the air.

The Gang Condensing Pill, as its name implied, was a precious Elixir that helped a True Essence Realm Martial Artist condense True Gang to break through to the True Gang Realm. Its Medicinal Power was tyrannical and fierce.

Ordinarily, a Martial Artist in the True Essence Realm who had not reached the Perfection Realm could not consume it. But with the Yin Marrow Pearl in hand, it was a perfect match for Liang Cheng.

He no longer hesitated, tilting his head back and swallowing the Gang Condensing Pill!

BOOM—!

The Pill entered his stomach and instantly detonated!

It was as if a volcano had erupted inside his body. Rampant, scorching Medicinal Power surged like lava, rushing into every one of his Meridians!

Liang Cheng’s whole body convulsed violently. His skin instantly turned crimson, and white steam even began to rise from the top of his head. At just the right moment, the Yin Marrow Pearl in his mouth released its icy Spiritual Qi. It was like a clear spring pouring into a sea of fire; Yin and Yang converged, and the rampant Medicinal Power was rapidly neutralized.

The Crossing the Sea True Intent Fragment in Liang Cheng’s body began to circulate on its own again, guiding the Refining of the neutralized Medicinal Power within him.

Liang Cheng now split his focus, using the cold air from the Yin Marrow Pearl to temper the Medicinal Power while simultaneously circulating his Broken Wave Technique at full force, converting the pure energy contained within the Gang Condensing Pill into his own True Essence.

The True Essence Light Groups spun wildly, constantly expanding and solidifying!

The first, the second, the third...

All nine True Essence Light Groups expanded one by one!

As time passed, the Yin Marrow Pearl grew smaller and smaller, until it vanished completely.

Under the circulation of his Cultivation Technique, the energy inside Liang Cheng’s body gradually calmed, transforming into vast True Essence that flowed endlessly through his Meridians.

[Third Layer of Broken Wave Technique: Minor Success (4568/12000)]

’As expected of a Gang Condensing Pill that helps someone at True Essence Perfection break through to the True Gang Realm. This has saved me several months of effort.’

Liang Cheng opened his eyes, overjoyed.
