Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 465 - 105: Inner Breath Surges, Trouble at the City Gate!_2

Chapter 465: Chapter 105: Inner Breath Surges, Trouble at the City Gate!_2

The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was indeed a Daoist Inner Strength Method.

He adopted the Daoist posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven, which facilitated the breathing and releasing of the Great Sun True Qi.

The next moment,

he raised his head to look at the sun above.

With a slight inhale, a strand of formless Great Sun Essence Qi was drawn from the void into his nostrils.

Though the Great Sun Essence Qi sank into his lungs and viscera, blazing hot and containing terrifying heat,

he no longer felt the pain of burns that he had felt before.

Having acquired the trait of the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, he no longer feared common flames, and could even bathe in magma; naturally, the Great Sun Essence Qi could not cause him any burning.

Then, he felt the Great Sun Essence Qi disperse, merging into his viscera.

Instantly, it was as though he was in a furnace, warmth flowing through his body like a stream.

As the strand of Great Sun Essence Qi refined his viscera, the Five Elements Spirit accumulated within them was rapidly transformed, and strands of Inner Breath began to condense out from within the viscera, gathering in the Dantian within his abdomen.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

As the prompt sounded, a strand of Great Sun Essence Qi was consumed.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes again, his face showing joy.

The Five Elements Spirit had nourished his viscera, making their foundation robust, while a considerable amount of Five Elements Spirit had already accumulated within them.

Therefore, this time’s transformation of the Great Sun Essence Qi was even greater compared to the last time.

Before the Five Elements Fist had achieved its Second Limit Breaking, and thus could not draw the Five Elements Spirit from between heaven and earth to nourish the viscera,

a single breathing and releasing of Great Sun Essence Qi only increased a strand of Inner Breath. But since the last time his visceral foundation became robust and had also retained some of the Five Elements Spirit, a session of breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi refined some Five Elements Spirit, allowing for several strands of Inner Breath to increase.

The efficiency of his Inner Breath growth had increased several times over the original basis.

But now, things were even more different.

Having more accumulation this time, this session of breathing and releasing increased his Inner Breath by a dozen strands.

"So comfortable!!!"

Jiang Ning’s face showed joy.

The hardships of this past period turned into bountiful results at this moment.

His Inner Breath was about to experience a surge in the next two hours.

Then, he concentrated and cleared his spirit, his mental platform returning to its serene state, with all distracting thoughts erased.

He then continued to breathe and release with the Great Sun above.

As he breathed and released, strands of Great Sun Essence Qi merged into his viscera.

His viscera were continuously tempered.

[...]

With the enhancement of the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes trait, he no longer feared the scorching of the Great Sun Essence Qi, which greatly improved the efficiency of his breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi.

He no longer needed to consider the load on his viscera.

Two hours later,

It was noon.

The hour of 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. had passed, and the hour of Noon had arrived.

*Sigh—*

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes from meditation and gently exhaled a breath of impure energy.

[This session of breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP totaled an increase of 110 points.]

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Small Success (1387/5000)

After glancing at his own panel, Jiang Ning promptly closed it.

"Based on today’s efficiency, just over a month’s time is needed."

"This time isn’t long at all!"

"It’s a pity this winter is clearly a harsh one."

He shook his head, then closed his eyes again, introspecting his body.

His spirit sank into the Dantian.

He instantly saw his inner core within his body’s Dantian like a majestic river, raging and surging.

Whether in momentum or prestige, it was several parts stronger than before.

"Indeed, it’s grown a lot! Although there is no qualitative change, there is an accumulation in quantity."

After observing the changes in his Dantian, Jiang Ning was instantly very satisfied and opened his eyes.

This time the breathing and releasing of the Great Sun Essence Qi, the most significant change was not the progress of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill but the transformation of the Inner Breath brought about by the refinement of the Five Elements Spirit in the viscera.

He had just slightly felt it.

This single refinement alone had increased his Inner Breath by roughly fifteen percent of the total, providing a very apparent boost.

The reason for such tremendous progress, he was very clear, was mainly due to the changes after multiple limit breakings of the Five Animals Fist.

Fifth Grade Inner Strength Realm.

This step primarily consisted in strengthening the viscera and condensing Inner Breath.

With the multiple limit breakings of the Five Animals Fist, it could draw the Five Elements Spirit from heaven and earth into the body, nourishing the viscera.

The stronger the viscera, the more the Inner Breath would increase daily.

Moreover, while the Five Elements Spirit accumulated in the viscera, breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi and refining the Five Elements Spirit also made his viscera stronger, which in turn caused his Inner Breath to surge.

And just now, he also found that practicing the Fist every day, drawing the Five Elements Spirit into the body, had accumulated too much Five Elements Spirit.

Just one day of breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi had not allowed for a complete refinement of the Five Elements Spirit.

Much still remained accumulated.

This accumulation, although also enhancing his viscera’s strength, had an effect too mild; the usual enhancement consumed far less than he was now taking in.

This had also led to an increasing accumulation over these days.

"If we could have clear weather for another three or five days, that would be enough!"

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

...

On the other side.

Outside Luoshui County.

An army had already quietly appeared in the nearby mountains and forests.

Shadowy and indistinct, totaling over a hundred people, but making no noise whatsoever.

Even the thirty or so Black Nightmare Horses were similarly silent.

Such features demonstrated the high level of discipline of this military force.

"Holy Daughter, what should we do? Today is a clear day, and tonight the moon will likely be very bright," the gruff-voiced leader spoke.

At those words, the Black Lotus Sect Saintess, veiled in black, slowly responded.
