Chapter 46: The Fundamental Diagram of Internal Strength (Thanks for the Support)
Gudong!
The elixir is slightly sweet in the mouth.
Li Yuan's mouth and tongue felt wet. He held it in his mouth for a while and then swallowed it.
Not long after, there was a warmth in my abdomen, as if I had swallowed a big mouthful of chili pepper. This was a strong irritation to my stomach.
"More than ten times more powerful than the Blood Accumulating Pill! No wonder the master said you shouldn't take too much of the pill. If you take too much, it will hurt your stomach and even your heart..."
Li Yuan did not dare to be careless, he took advantage of the situation to lift the hammer and stand, but he used the "soldier posture", which is the basic stance skill of the fighting hammer.
It is also a pile skill. This superior martial art ranks first among the five secrets of the inner sect of the Divine Weapon Valley. It is far more complicated than the White Ape Cloak Hammer.
Just putting on a posture made Li Yuan's whole body tense. He felt like he was being squeezed out of wet clothes, and his blood consumption increased sharply.
"Can pile kung fu be used to temper one's vitality?!"
Li Yuan didn't expect it, but he quickly gathered his energy, and with difficulty and slowness took out the "soldier posture", transporting the blood and digesting the heat in his abdomen.
Pills are not elixirs.
There will be no immediate effects after taking it, but it will be digested slowly, nourishing the organs with the help of blood and gas transportation, and ultimately achieving the effect of strengthening the body and growing muscles and bones.
Normally, one Leopard Tai Yijin Pill is enough for digestion for more than half a month, and this is even if you exercise your body at high intensity every day.
"call!"
"suck!"
Without the accompanying breathing method, the Zhuang Kung Fu can still be effective. Li Yuan was immersed in it, his chest rising and falling.
In the twenty-four-position soldier posture, Li Yuan was sweating all over after he reached the sixth position. By the time he reached the eighth position, all the blood in his body had been exhausted, and his muscles and bones made a "ka-ka" grinding sound.
"With my current physical strength and vitality, I may not be able to exhaust myself even if I stand at the White Ape Stake for a day. This soldier's physical strength..."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up:
"With the White Ape Hammer Technique, it will take me more than twenty days to digest this Leopard Fetal Yijin Pill, but now, I'm afraid it will only take four or five days at most, or even faster. This is just a pile of skills!"
Li Yuan became more active and full of motivation.
He found that the heat in his body continued to flow to his limbs, and even the blood that had been slow to move behind his knees began to flow towards his calves.
…
Li Yuan didn't want to go out. After noon, he went out for a meal at Fatty Sun's urging, and then he went back to his room to practice martial arts.
"This kid..."
Fatty Sun grumbled inwardly when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and went into the room to stand still. He even ate a blood accumulating pill with great pain.
He has been practicing martial arts for many years and rarely takes pills. What is the difference between paying six taels of silver for a bottle of pills and robbing him?
But during this time, I also quietly bought a few bottles.
"practice!"
There were elixirs available and superior martial arts to practice. Li Yuan immersed himself in them, feeling his blood energy increasing, wishing he could practice it to perfection in one go.
But as evening approached, the exclamations coming from outside still forced him to go out.
"My brother-in-law is back!"
Li Yuan just opened the door, and Fatty Sun had already rushed out like the wind, almost knocking Niu Gui to the ground in the yard.
"Master, he asked you to come over. He is seriously injured..."
Niu Gui rubbed his sore shoulder, whispered with a complicated expression, and turned around to leave.
"Severely injured?"
Li Yuan frowned and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.
Soon, it became clear how serious the injury Niu Gui said was.
As soon as he entered the door, the pungent smell of blood rushed straight to Tianling Gai, and even the smell of medicine that filled the room couldn't be suppressed.
"Cough, cough..."
Tang Tong was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in his coat. Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming arrived one step ahead of him, their faces full of sadness.
Fatty Sun is not here, and I don’t know where he was sent.
"Master, are you injured?"
Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
The loose coat couldn't block the smell of blood. He could even see blood stains on his clothes, and the wounds were still bleeding.
The injury was so severe that he couldn't even control his energy and blood.
"Almost died."
Tang Tong's voice was weak, his face was dark yellow, and his sharp eyes became cloudy.
"Master, master, you are injured, that, that year..."
Yue Yunjin has not yet recovered from his illness. He was frightened and stumbled when speaking. Wu Ming supported him so that he did not fall to the ground.
"No one is born and has experienced hundreds of battles. Yun Jin, you haven't been through anything before, so it's inevitable to panic for a while..."
Tang Tong sighed, disappointment flashed in his cloudy eyes, but unusually he did not reprimand:
"I think it will be better in the future?"
"Disciple, I always let you down."
Yue Yunjin still fell to his knees on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "Go and heal your wounds quickly, please..."
"It's of no use whether or not it's healed."
Tang Tong pulled at the hem of his clothes. The knife wound was as wide as a palm, the sternum was cracked, and the internal organs could even be seen faintly.
Wearing second-level inner armor, you suffered such serious injuries?
Li Yuan took a deep breath and felt his heart pounding with fear.
The second-level inner armor can withstand the powerful stabs of the second-level, which are superior sharp blades. In addition, Tang Tong's body has been tempered for decades, so he was actually injured like this?
"Master, who hurt you?"
Wu Ming's chest rose and fell.
"Qiu Long!"
An idea popped into Li Yuan's mind.
Within the 500-mile radius of Gaoliu County, the only one with this level of strength is the divine weapon Gu Dulong who holds the Conglong Blade.
He once heard Zhang Bi mention that the Conglong Sword was an extremely sharp blade, and it cost more than a hundred taels of silver to repair the broken blade.
"Nine of that year..."
Tang Tong twitched the corners of his mouth, reached out and picked up two rolls of sheepskin-like objects from the table:
"Among the inner courtyard disciples, there are many who have achieved great success in hammering and blood, but only you three have the hope of breaking through the inner strength..."
"Ahem!"
Blood was flowing from the corner of Tang Tong's mouth, but he pushed away the flustered Yue Yunjin and looked at Li Yuan, who was worried but very calm:
"Li Yuan, you are very good. Although your bones are a little poor, you have a high talent. You have hope for inner strength and hope to join the Divine Weapon Valley!"
"Master, you should heal your wounds first."
Li Yuan was reluctant.
In the forging shop, except Zhang Ben and Fatty Sun, only Tang Tong looked at him differently.
"You won't die yet!"
As soon as Li Yuan stretched out his hand, he was glared back. Tang Tong shook the two pieces of parchment in his hand. There were two pictures on them, one of which was a monkey and the other was a green snake spitting out its tongue.
"The fundamental picture!"
Wu Ming shuddered and blurted out.
Li Yuan had long felt the faint white light on the two pieces of parchment. At this time, he took a few steps closer and a stream of light appeared in his eyes.
[Basic Diagram of White Ape Cloak Hammer Technique (First Level)]
[Basic diagram of internal strength drawn by a warrior of the Great Perfection of Hammer Technique on the ‘White Sandalwood Spirit Sheep Skin’. A warrior of the Great Perfection of Hammer Technique can comprehend the secret of internal strength by comprehending it…]
[Control Condition: Great Perfection of White Ape Cloak Hammer]
[Control Effect: Great Perfection of White Ape Cloak, Ape Arms and Wasp Waist, White Ape Strength]
Good stuff!
One White Ape Strength, one Green Snake Strength!
Li Yuan clenched his palms and muttered to himself, this parchment can also be considered a ‘weapon’?
Is it because it is engraved with ‘killing martial arts’?
“This is the ‘Basic Diagram of Internal Strength’ of White Ape Hammer and Green Snake Spear. It is a treasure that can only be drawn by a warrior who has cultivated a martial art to the Great Perfection realm after breaking through.”
Tang Tong glanced at Li Yuan:
“Without this diagram, if you want to break through internal strength, you must cultivate the hammer technique to perfection. In the past two hundred years of the Forging Weapon Shop, few people have this ability.”
Li Yuan lowered his head.
Before this, he had never heard of such a thing.
Who could have expected that a White Ape Cloak Hammer, which is divided into standing practice, training method, breathing method, and fighting method, actually has a fundamental map?
Or, is this the means to control the inner courtyard apprentices?
Does the Military Dao Fighting Hammer also have a fundamental map?
"Entry, mastery, minor success, major success, and perfection are not to be mentioned. Before internal strength, there are only four levels of qi and blood, and martial arts...
And this map is often passed on after the six directions are connected. Many of your senior brothers in the previous batches did not receive the fundamental map today."
Tang Tong's spirit is much better, and he even staggered to stand up. The armchair is covered with blood.
Yue Yunjin also struggled to stand up, with worry.
"Of the three of you, Yunjin has gone the furthest, and Liyuan is the shallowest, but they are not at that level yet, and have not been tested. In theory, you should not show this "internal strength fundamental map" at this time..."
As he said, Tang Tong threw the two fundamental maps to Liyuan and Yue Yunjin respectively, turned around and sat down, and couldn't help but be silent in his heart.
Just remember as much as you can...
