Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 737 - 711: Outer Sect District Three

After organizing his belongings and calming his mind, Tangyu began to cultivate the "Myriad Hearts Pilgrimage Technique."

Once he started cultivating, Tangyu could feel even more the exquisite complexity of the "Myriad Hearts Pilgrimage Technique." The cultivation of ancient martial arts bears some resemblance to the defiance of heaven undertaken by cultivators in mythological novels, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to temper the body, breaking through its physical shackles to pursue a new realm, aiming for an ultimate state of bodily immortality.

The path of ancient martial cultivation can also be considered a road against the natural order, where one seeks the Dao of longevity from an ordinary mortal existence and pursues the supreme Great Dao. It is not to forge a golden body but to transform it into immortality.

Just like Tangyu’s previous cultivation of the "Immortal Finger Technique," which could cultivate Pure Yang Power, that power in fact is a type of Spiritual Immortal Power, only with different attributes.

Spiritual Immortal Power is also divided into the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth—metal, wood, water, fire, earth. The Five Elements constitute the fundamental essence of the universe.

Although the "Myriad Hearts Pilgrimage Technique" is profound and vast, it’s surprisingly easy to begin practicing. Tangyu found little resistance when cultivating it.

Once he began the mental method, Tangyu could immediately feel the Spiritual Immortal Qi between heaven and earth converging into his body like a myriad of streams flowing into the sea. Traveling along Tangyu’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians like powerful dragons, and like rain on parched land, it nourished his body, beginning to temper it.

This feeling was incredibly wonderful; even Tangyu felt that with every minute and every second, his body was improving, and his strength was slowly increasing.

At this rate, which was dozens of times faster than before, Tangyu believed it wouldn’t take long before he could break through to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm.

"Just the Spiritual Immortal Power in Holy Sun Town is so rich; it’s incomparable to anywhere in the secular world. Cultivating here truly yields twice the result with half the effort. No wonder so many people are breaking their heads trying to enter the Outer Sect of Myriad Saints Valley for cultivation. Here lies the grand stage of ancient martial cultivation, without which how could one truly soar?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Tangyu’s face. Of course, it could also be because this was the first time Tangyu had started cultivating in the Outer Sect of Myriad Saints Valley, which could explain such a wonderful feeling. However, Tangyu still had strong confidence that he would make it big in Myriad Saints Valley.

The Outer Sect was just a starting point.

After cultivating for a while, Tangyu took out the Jade Vase containing the Tempering Spirit Pills, and poured out a pill the size of a pea. It was crystal clear, shimmering like a flawless gem, emitting a misty aura that made it obvious it was a treasure.

Looking at the Tempering Spirit Pill, Tangyu licked his lips greedily and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill was consumed, Tangyu felt a surge of incomparably pure Spiritual Immortal Power filling his body, giving him an almost ethereal sensation; this feeling was too wonderful to describe. No matter how splendid the adjectives, they all seemed pale and weak in comparison.

However, the power from just one Tempering Spirit Pill was quickly fully absorbed, leaving Tangyu feeling unsatisfied, craving for more.

"It’s gone so quickly; I’ve just eaten through over ten million in one gulp—what a luxury. A hundred Tempering Spirit Pills really can’t withstand such consumption," said Tangyu, his mouth twitching slightly in pain.

"But no matter how good the treasure, its value can’t be realized if it’s not used to enhance strength. My strength has improved somewhat, but there is still a distance from breaking through to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm."

Continuing—

Tangyu didn’t dwell on the pain and immediately poured out ten Tempering Spirit Pills and swallowed them all at once.

One after another, quickly his hundred Tempering Spirit Pills were all consumed, and it wasn’t until he swallowed the last pill that a tremendous Spiritual Immortal Power gathered into a stream, forming a dragon that roared resoundingly. Tangyu immediately felt his body burning and boiling.

Yes, this was the sensation, his body leaping, transforming, and advancing to a new realm.

Boom—

An explosive breakthrough, like storming the heavens, delivered an intense pleasure and satisfaction.

A smile spread across Tangyu’s face as he finally showed a hint of joy, "I’ve broken through, to the Second Layer of the Innate Realm, and my strength has indeed more than doubled. The power, strength, and sensitivity of my body all have risen significantly. Although I can’t yet be invulnerable to swords and guns, ordinary wounds won’t injure me anymore."

A hundred Tempering Spirit Pills, just for one advancement.

Such consumption made Tangyu click his tongue in wonder. Now that the Tempering Spirit Pills were used up, it would be much harder to get more. The price to pay was also extremely high.

Getting more Tempering Spirit Pills for free from the Sect was clearly an impossibility.

"Tempering Spirit Pills, indeed good stuff, pity they’re hard to come by. Yet, there are still ways; I must think hard about how to get more. With Tempering Spirit Pills, strength improves quickly. Relying solely on physical cultivation is still too slow," Tangyu pondered, ideas flashing through his mind.

But for now, with his strength still too weak, seeking more Tempering Spirit Pills wasn’t very realistic.

For the time being, that thought could only remain a thought.

Glancing at the time, Tangyu realized it was time to eat, so he got up, went out, and knocked on the door of Liang Youshan’s house.

The door quickly opened, and Liang Youshan greeted him with a beaming smile, "Haha Tangyu, you’re really punctual."

Tangyu replied with a smile, "There are many important things, but eating tops them, I promised to treat you to a meal, how could I neglect that? I must hug those thick legs of yours."

"Haha, Tangyu, stop teasing me, my legs are even thinner than your arms, where would you find thick legs to hug? You’re the one with powerful backing, aren’t you? If anyone should be hugging, it should be me hugging you. I seriously feel like you’re the tycoon by my side. So for lunch today, I’m not going to be polite, I’m going to fill my stomach," said Liang Youshan.

He really regarded Tangyu as the boyfriend of Qian Shanxue now. Even if Tangyu was bragging a bit, at least their relationship must be quite close.

Patting Liang Youshan’s shoulder, Tangyu said, "Let’s go, eat to your heart’s content, I believe one meal shouldn’t be enough to bankrupt me. I’m not familiar with this place, so you lead the way, and also explain the situation around here on the way."

Liang Youshan called out, "All right, follow me. Today I’ll take you to see and broaden your horizons, so you can see how bustling and spectacular Holy Sun Town is. I bet it will shatter many of your imaginations. Haha, this place is not something the secular world can compare to."

Tangyu was also quite curious and looking forward to it.

This place can truly be considered the real Ancient Martial World, utterly different from the secular world.

"You know that Holy Sun Town is divided into three areas. The largest one is the cultivation area where we Outer Sect Disciples live, which occupies two-thirds of Holy Sun Town. The other two areas are roughly the same size. One is the administration area for the outer stations; you should be aware of that. The last area, heh, is the area that we Outer Sect Disciples like the most and is also the most popular."

"We humorously call it the ’entertainment district.’ Over there, you can find all sorts of things you can and can’t imagine. There are various shops, restaurants, teahouses, and even entertainment venues, like bars and KTVs, all available here. Heh heh—even those kinds of places are here."

"Hm? That kind too?" Tangyu frowned slightly, quite astonished. He naturally knew what Liang Youshan meant by those kinds of places—it was referring to ’bathhouses,’ massage centers, or in more direct terms, the red-light district.

It indeed surprised Tangyu. How could the Outer Sect have such places?

It didn’t seem quite right.

Ordinary people shouldn’t be able to enter the Outer Sect areas at all, right?

Seeing Tangyu’s confusion, Liang Youshan chuckled and explained, "You don’t understand this, do you, Tangyu? When I first came here, I was also shocked. How could the Outer Sect have such places? It’s too... that. But now that I understand, everything seems only natural and reasonable."

"Look, Tangyu, we have over twenty thousand disciples here, which is practically a large town. With so many disciples living and practicing here, the demand for daily necessities is huge, hence the emergence of the entertainment district. Its purpose is to solve many of the Outer Sect Disciples’ living problems."

"Even though we all practice Ancient Martial Arts, we are still mortals with mortal needs after all—eating, drinking, and the rest. Therefore, in addition to the Sect’s canteen, there are so many other restaurants. For Ancient Martial Artists, money is generally not an issue, so they can definitely afford such expenses."

"Apart from meals, entertainment is also taken into consideration. After all, there are mostly men here, and we have physiological needs to address. Without those kinds of places, wouldn’t the Outer Sect Disciples be thinking about sneaking out to have illicit experiences? That would introduce instability in the Outer Sect. Mainly, it’s because there are just too many disciples, so these concerns have to be dealt with practically."

Tangyu then felt somewhat relieved; the Outer Sect was practically like an independent small world.

All the things that should be there, naturally had to be present, otherwise, how could it form a world of its own?

"Don’t tell me that those who work there are also Ancient Martial Artists?" Tangyu raised an eyebrow in query.

Liang Youshan grinned and said, "Cough, how could that be? They’re ordinary people brought in from the outside, of course. The hiring is very strict. These people can basically forget about ever leaving Holy Sun Town for the rest of their lives. However, there are indeed some Ancient Martial Artists involved in that kind of work." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"But their prices are extremely high, and they only accept Spirit Pills as payment, heh heh, isn’t that interesting?"

"..." People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Wherever you go, the same universal truth applies.

The entertainment district was indeed bustling; it was like a night market in a big city with everything one could wish for. However, this district is still separate from the other two areas, and non-Outer Sect Disciples could not enter the other two districts. Trespassing would be met with no mercy.

Soon, Liang Youshan led Tangyu to the entertainment district. It was indeed lively, with people everywhere, giving Tangyu a feeling akin to being back in Donglin City.

Only here, one could feel a hint of modern atmosphere.

"Let’s go, that restaurant has reasonably affordable prices, and the taste is quite good as well. Let’s head over," said Liang Youshan.
