Chapter 54 Breakthrough
Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 17
[Technique: Second-grade technique "Five Tigers Breaking the Formation Saber" (8014/50000 entry stance)]
[Third-grade martial arts technique "Tiger Subduing Stance" for tendon training (30145/30000 perfect, breakthrough possible?)]
[Second-Rank Kung Fu Technique: Iron Bones and Golden Bell Cover (10258/50000 Entry Stance)]
[First-grade formation "Soaring Cloud Crane Wing Formation" (18923/50000 entry power) additional effects: Borrowing wind, armor penetration]
[First-grade martial arts technique "Wind Chasing Arrow Technique" (10242/10000 Great Success, Should it be upgraded?)]
"breakthrough!"
Lu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately chose to break through.
Then, the body underwent tremendous changes. After the "Tiger Subduing Stance" was perfected, the next level was the Spirit Nourishing.
If he could see inwardly, he would see that every major tendon in his body was flashing with divine light at that moment, and his arm was swung with several times greater power than before.
By this time, the tendon-strengthening process had been completely successful in cultivating the spirit.
Next came the "Wind Chasing Arrow Technique." His arm seemed to have grown longer and was more powerful than before.
The joints of each finger also become more flexible.
[First-grade martial arts technique "Wind Chasing Arrow Technique" (242/30000 Perfection)]
"call!"
Feeling his cultivation had become stronger, he let out a long breath and took out the Dragon Tendon Pill. After consuming all the Profound Tendon Pills over twenty days, he...
Finally, he succeeded in nurturing his spirit. Now, as long as he swallows the Dragon Tendon Pill, he can achieve the perfection of nurturing his spirit.
Then he put it in his mouth.
The next moment, as the pill entered his stomach, Lu Yuan clearly felt his strength increasing, and his muscles and bones becoming stronger and stronger.
Even its body shimmered with a metallic sheen.
"Buzz!"
A moment later, as beads of sweat appeared on Lu Yuan's forehead, he broke through to the next level.
[The third-grade martial art, "Tiger Subduing Stance," cultivates the mind (103/1000 Minor Success)]
The Refining Realm tempers the five internal organs.
Each organ corresponds to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Training each organ will significantly improve one's physical condition.
Once all five internal organs have been tempered, one can enter the Blood Transfer Realm.
Because of his practice of body refinement techniques, Lu Yuan had just broken through to the next level, but his mind refinement had already achieved minor success.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably already be preparing for a breakthrough and starting to train their liver.
But for him, this was far from the limit.
Only by fully absorbing one's spirit can one achieve a harmonious unity between the inner and outer worlds.
Then he stood up. It was noon, and he was going to the general's mansion for lunch.
Now, Zhou Hongling's appointment has been officially approved. She has been appointed as the commander of Sancheng Town, a fifth-rank official position, which is quite a remarkable figure in the Northern Frontier.
It is also Lu Yuan's strongest asset at present.
During this meal, I can mention my breakthrough; becoming a centurion should be a certainty then.
Thinking of this, he put on his clothes and walked towards the door.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to break through his cultivation and get promoted.
Zhang Zhe, now trapped in the sandstorm, has finally given up after twenty days of hardship.
They were used to a life of luxury.
He was not used to the harsh cold of the northern frontier, and these days Helian Shang had sent him directly to the border, telling him not to come back unless he brought back a hundred heads.
For a full twenty days, he dared not delay even for a single day, leading his men across the wilderness in search of Northern Barbarian scouts. His buttocks had already been beaten raw, so one can imagine how much suffering he endured sitting on horseback.
He wrote home, hoping that his father and uncle could find a way to transfer him back to Yunzhou, but unfortunately he had already arrived in the northern frontier and they said they could not help him.
Unless Zhang Zhe can achieve merit, he will have to stay on the frontier.
Upon receiving the letter, he was utterly devastated. In twenty days, he only managed to locate two scout teams from the Northern Barbarians and collect fewer than thirty heads.
Without food or water, they had no choice but to hastily return to Huangsha Fortress.
Because he failed to complete the mission, Helian Shang ordered him to be beaten with thirty strokes of the military rod.
It means that his cultivation level is not weak, otherwise he would probably be completely ruined.
Lying on the bed, he gripped his hands tightly, his eyes filled with resentment. Why was it that after Lu Yuan came to the Northern Frontier, he could rise from a garrison soldier to where he is today?
But I'm so unlucky.
Just after being beaten with a stick today, Helian Shang told him that he would continue to leave the city in three days, and if he could not pay enough heads next time, he would be demoted.
"This is outrageous!"
He was unwilling to accept it, and his voice was almost a growl.
I must surpass Lu Yuan.
Otherwise, the family and the teacher would inevitably have other ideas.
Although he had silenced the people he sent out to gather information outside the city, and had also recalled all those searching for Lu Yuan, he ordered them not to continue the search.
But secrets can't be kept forever; the family will find out sooner or later.
Another point is that Helian Shang's targeting of him during this period has really become unbearable for him. If this continues, although Helian Shang may not actually kill him, he will certainly not let him have an easy time.
This trip out of the city nearly cost him his life; if he were to leave the city again, he would certainly be demoted.
At that point, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to his family.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to his trusted confidant outside the door, "Prepare a carriage for me to go to Youzhou City."
That's right, he's preparing to go to Youzhou to see that woman from back then.
Judging from the other party's pomp and circumstance and the fact that they lived in the General's Mansion in Youzhou, it is clear that they must have some connection with the Helian family.
If he were willing to help, Helian Shang probably wouldn't continue to torment him to the point of death.
Thinking of this, he endured the pain, washed his body, bandaged the wounds, changed into a decent set of clothes, put on a soft armor, wrapped a cloak around his back, and was then helped out of the door, climbed into a carriage, and headed towards Youzhou City.
Although the woman was disgusting, it was still better than letting herself suffer like this.
Lu Yuan had already arrived at the garrison general's mansion. The dining table was filled with various dishes, including large pieces of meat and soup, and it could be seen that a lot of medicinal herbs were being simmered inside.
Some are edible for those in the Tendon Refining Realm, while others are edible for those in the Qi Condensation Realm.
That's right, Zhou Hongling has now broken through to the Gangqi Realm, and is only one step away from entering the Xiantian Realm.
The other person was sitting at the head of the table. When Lu Yuan entered, the other person said in a clear voice, "I stewed a black tiger tendon today, all for you."
After saying that, he pointed to a large bowl next to Lu Yuan.
Today, she wore a light red long dress, tightly cinched at the waist, outlining her magnificent chest. Her voluptuous figure was so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look at her. It was almost summer, and even in northern Xinjiang, the weather had warmed up considerably.
The women began to consciously or unconsciously show off their most beautiful side.
Although Zhou Hongling was in the army, she would try to dress as comfortably as possible when she didn't leave her residence.
"Thank you, General. However, I'm afraid the medicinal diet for strengthening tendons will no longer be effective for me in the future," Lu Yuan said with a grin.
He casually opened a jar of wine.
Zhou Hongling's lips twitched. This wine was sent by a friend in the capital, and she hadn't even been willing to drink it yet. However, after seeing Lu Yuan open it, she could only hand over the wine bowl and prepare to drink some with him.
Then he looked up and said, "What do you mean by that, kid? You think my stuff isn't good enough?"
"Hehe, these medicinal meals from you are certainly good, but I have already broken through to the Refining Body stage and have now begun to refine my mind."
As soon as she finished speaking, a fleeting look of joy crossed Zhou Hongling's eyes.
She hadn't expected that Lu Yuan would break through so quickly.
This is definitely a pleasant surprise.
