Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 42 - Promotion to the Sinew Refining Realm!

At a certain moment, Qin Zheng vaguely heard a surreal sound next to his ear.

When he regained his senses, he realized that the Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique had ceased operating.

His Flesh Refining Realm had also silently reached perfection, successfully breaking through and advancing to the Sinew Refining Realm!

Even though Qin Zheng had already anticipated the power of Inner Strength,

he was still utterly shocked in that moment.

Just half a day of cultivation equated to months of physical exertion and circulating blood qi through External Strength!

Though this was because Qin Zheng was cultivating for the first time and had released the blood qi accumulated in his body all at once,

being able to achieve such a feat was truly astonishing!

No wonder the Noble Clans and Gates kept a tight control on Inner Strength, as such speed in cultivation was indeed startling!

If anyone were allowed to cultivate Inner Strength, the number of martial artists worldwide would likely skyrocket!

As it’s said, resorting to martial arts may breach laws; with more martial artists, the whole world would descend into chaos!

Qin Zheng stood up, feeling the strength of his internal body.

Now that the Flesh Refining Realm had reached perfection and he had ascended to the Sinew Refining Realm, his internal body could endure even greater power.

He could now mobilize 4000 jin of force without any strain.

With effort, he could even muster a tremendous force of 5000 jin!

This power greatly surpassed the 3000 jin that could be achieved in the Bone Refining Realm!

Thus, at this moment, in terms of strength, Qin Zheng had already transcended the first realm of martial arts!

However, what realm lay beyond this, Ji Changyin hadn’t mentioned when he had organized his martial arts knowledge that day.

Qin Zheng didn’t obtain any further information from other sources either.

In a remote small city like Black Goose City, the first realm of martial arts, encompassing skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, was already a realm unreachable by all.

Nobody aspired to or sought to understand what lay beyond the Bone Refining Realm.

Upon returning, perhaps he could attempt to learn what realm stands after the four major thresholds of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones.

As Qin Zheng thought this, he then directed a part of his consciousness into the Heart Sea, looking at the floating Merit Scroll.

[Qin Zheng]

[Lifespan: 70 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique (Beginner), Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique (Fourth Layer), Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique (Great Achievement)…]

[Merit: eleven taels eight money]

[Current Martial Arts·Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique can be upgraded, requires one tael of Merit, would you like to upgrade?]

[Current Martial Arts·Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique can be upgraded, requires eight taels of Merit, would you like to upgrade?]

[Current Martial Arts·Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique can be upgraded, requires ten taels of Merit, would you like to upgrade?]

Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique at beginner, Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique at Great Achievement, Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique at fourth layer, other martial arts at perfection.

Unknowingly, Qin Zheng had already cultivated so many martial arts, and had brought them to competent realms.

Yet likewise, he was left with only eleven taels eight money of Merit.

Out of this remaining eleven taels eight money of Merit, at least one tael needs to be used to enhance the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

Hence, the remaining ten taels of Merit could only enhance one between the Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique and the Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique.

One of these could speed up his pace of internal body refinement, and the other could strengthen his mental induction.

Both were aspects Qin Zheng currently wished to enhance.

“Still not enough Merit.”

Qin Zheng sighed softly, feeling a sense of poverty in his heart.

However, after a brief consideration, Qin Zheng decided to first enhance the Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique.

After all, the realm of internal strength was the foundation of everything, and only with a strong internal body could one support various powerful external strengths.

Thus, without hesitation, Qin Zheng once again silently chanted in his mind, “Enhance, Internal Refining Technique of the Five Viscera!”

Immediately, ten taels of merit were deducted from the merit scroll.

Correspondingly, the five viscera inside Qin Zheng’s body began to emit a faint glow.

Qin Zheng could feel that in that instant, his five viscera seemed to be strengthened!

The five viscera are the repositories of essence, qi, soul, and spirit!

At the moment when the five viscera were strengthened, Qin Zheng’s spirit and body also shook violently and were enhanced!

Following that, the five viscera began to vibrate with even stronger force.

It seemed to draw out the profound qi and blood hidden in the body, washing the flesh and blood all over his body like great rivers and seas, following even more unique trajectories.

After the enhancement, the efficiency of operating the cultivation technique increased, and the speed of internal body strengthening also accelerated!

With such a speed, it would not be long before he could perfect the Sinew Refining Realm and advance to the Bone Refining Realm!

Qin Zheng could feel that in no more than three months, he would be able to breakthrough four major barriers consecutively and reach the Bone Refining Realm!

If he had enough merit, he might not even need three months to enhance the Internal Refining Technique of the Five Viscera again!

However, not long after running the internal strength, Qin Zheng discovered that the qi and blood within his body were becoming thinner.

The five viscera also gradually calmed down.

At the same time, a sudden burst of dizziness surged up to his brain, bringing a feeling of weakness as if he were anemic.

It won’t work!

The cultivation of internal strength was too fast!

The consumption of qi and blood inside the body also accelerated!

The qi and blood accumulated in his body were no longer sufficient to support the operation of the technique!

He needed to replenish his flesh and blood to fill the gap in his qi and blood!

Qin Zheng immediately turned his head to look at the headless bear corpse beside him, his eyes shining with a green light like a hungry ghost!

…

“Buns for sale, freshly made with thin skins!”

“Sugar-coated haws!

Get your sugar-coated haws!”

“…”

At noon, in the streets of the southern part of Black Goose City, various hawkers’ cries filled the air.

Dressed in coarse hemp clothes and carrying the Ghost Head Greatsword, Qin Zheng slowly made his way home.

Having been away for merely three days, Black Goose City had seemingly returned to normal as if the bandits’ siege had never occurred.

The entire city had once again revived with vitality.

However, Qin Zheng noticed that apart from the civilians, there were also some monks in white robes on the streets.

They dressed very similar to the monks from Rebirth Temple, like the monk Wuchang, and presumably were also monks from the Rebirth Temple.

Civilians, in groups of threes and twos, gathered around these monks, following and chanting sutras with devout expressions.

Eventually, they handed over silver taels, or eggs and meat to the monks.

Yet these monks did not refuse and accepted everything with a cheerful smile.

Recalling what Zhang Xiuwen had said, these monks from Rebirth Temple seemed to have some dealings with Gao Wusheng.

Qin Zheng immediately lost any fondness he might have had for these monks.

Seeing this scene now made him even more suspicious of the monks.

Since it did not directly involve him, Qin Zheng continued walking towards the courtyard in the southern part of the city.

He had been in the deep mountains for three days; apart from consuming meat and practicing, he also tried to find the old monk’s whereabouts.

Although he did not find the old monk, he did kill some bandits who had fled into the mountains, thus accumulating some merit.

Now that he was back in Black Goose City and saw that everything was as usual, he also put his mind at ease.

He made his way to the courtyard where Qi Yan and the others stayed, and after a short while, arrived at the gate.

After knocking several times without any response,

Qin Zheng’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately released his mental induction, instantly noticing that there was no one in the courtyard!
