Yan Liqiang knew nothing about what happened outside the Deer Garden!
The sudden appearance of Eunuch Liu today did not change his training plan. He still pushed his physical strength and energy to the extreme in the archery range as usual. Finally, he dragged his empty body, tired and difficult back to his yard.
When he put down the big guy in his hand, untied the chains on his body, and put down the 2,800-pound weight, the long-lost, anticipated feeling of relaxation returned to Yan Liqiang all of a sudden, making his whole body float in ecstasy, as if he had ascended from hell to the clouds, so comfortable that Yan Liqiang almost hummed.
It is difficult for people who have not had this kind of difficult experience to understand that sometimes, just letting go of such a simple thing can bring great pleasure to the whole body and mind, and make people extremely satisfied.
The person who delivered the meal to Yan Liqiang arrived as scheduled. What surprised Yan Liqiang was that there was an extra tonic in the lunch box today - a whole pheasant stewed with ginseng. Just smelling the smell was enough to make people excited, especially the whole old ginseng. Although Yan Liqiang didn't know much about medicinal materials, just by looking at the appearance of the old ginseng, he knew that the ginseng must be very valuable and had been there for many years.
Such precious ingredients and medicinal materials usually do not appear on the menu of meals prepared by the Luyuan kitchen for everyone, because with so many people in Luyuan, they really cannot afford it. But since it was delivered, Yan Liqiang did not hesitate. After giving half of the pheasant to Huangmao, who was already drooling, Yan Liqiang ate up all the food that was delivered. He even chewed the whole ginseng in the chicken soup and swallowed it like a radish.
Ginseng is indeed ginseng. As soon as it entered his stomach, Yan Liqiang felt a warmth slowly radiating throughout his body. He felt extremely comfortable. This kind of food is more beneficial to people than the things we usually eat.
"By the way, are you going to Luyuan for a feast today? Has the ginseng stewed chicken been delivered?" Yan Liqiang asked casually when he finished his meal and handed the lunch box to Luyuan's servant to take back.
"That ginseng chicken stew was made by Eunuch Liu himself, who instructed the kitchen to make it for you, Captain Yan!"
Yan Liqiang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, thank you!"
…
After watching the servant leave with the lunch box, Yan Liqiang rubbed his face, then closed the door and returned to the yard.
After resting for a while in the yard and walking around the yard for a while to digest the food, Yan Liqiang felt that his body was almost ready, so he returned to the secret room in the house and began the most important daily training and strengthening process.
These days, the speed of his progress in cultivation frightened Yan Liqiang himself. Various strange phenomena appeared on Yan Liqiang every few days, sometimes even several times a day, which became commonplace. Under such circumstances, Yan Liqiang dared not to practice in the yard, but returned to the secret room in his room, where the noise would be smaller and would not attract too much attention.
If Yan Liqiang told people about the speed and progress of his cultivation in the past month, many people would be scared to death and think that he was telling a myth. But all this is not a myth, but Yan Liqiang truly understands what it means to be free from obstacles.
Today seemed a little special. I don’t know if it was the effect of the old ginseng. Yan Liqiang had just entered the first posture of Sancai Tongqi, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was more abundant than usual, poured into his body from all directions like water from a floodgate and began to strengthen.
In just a moment, a vision of passing the martial arts test appeared on Yan Liqiang's body. A golden light and shadow began to gather around Yan Liqiang's body. In the blink of an eye, a golden ancient bell appeared around Yan Liqiang's body. Then, the golden ancient bell finally turned into a light and shadow and sank into the crotch under Yan Liqiang's lower abdomen.
After the Iron Head Skill was achieved, this was the thirteenth time that Yan Liqiang had advanced the Golden Bell Body Protection Skill that he had practiced in the past month. The Iron Crotch Skill was the most difficult to practice, so it was the last one to be achieved. The recent phenomena of the skills were also different from the previous ones. After the golden ancient bell light sank into Yan Liqiang's crotch, Yan Liqiang's muscles and joints and bones all crackled like firecrackers, and then a small golden ancient bell appeared on Yan Liqiang's head, throat, back, arms, shoulders, abdomen, palms, fists, elbows, fingers, legs, knees, and crotch. Then the golden ancient bells slowly merged into one, becoming a larger golden ancient bell, completely covering Yan Liqiang's body, and finally shrinking and sinking into Yan Liqiang's body.
At this moment, Yan Liqiang heard a loud bell sound in his ears. The bell sound spread to every cell in Yan Liqiang's body, causing every cell in Yan Liqiang's body to resonate. In this resonance, Yan Liqiang's skin slowly turned golden. After the lingering sound of the bell slowly dissipated, Yan Liqiang's skin color returned to normal.
The complete realm of the first level of the Golden Bell Body Protection Divine Art has been achieved.
But Yan Liqiang's cultivation was still going on. The vast spiritual energy and energy from heaven and earth continued to flow into Yan Liqiang's body. Before he finished the first round of Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing, a white light surged around Yan Liqiang. In the white light, four white auspicious clouds appeared and then instantly sank into Yan Liqiang's legs...
The fourth level of "Ten Transformations of Cloud Dragon", achievement.
Half an hour later, another green light appeared beside Yan Liqiang. The green light was in the shape of a majestic spear. After it appeared, the tip of the spear shook, and three sharp green spear beams suddenly penetrated into Yan Liqiang's brows, chest, and dantian and lower abdomen.
There are three levels of basic spearmanship. The appearance of this phenomenon indicates that Yan Liqiang's basic spearmanship has been completely mastered and perfected. He can practice higher-level spearmanship at the first level.
But this is not the last vision of today...
When Yan Liqiang practiced the Yijing Marrow Cleansing for the third time, his whole body suddenly seemed to be on fire. A bright red light illuminated the entire secret room red. In the red light, the shadows of a ferocious python and a strong tiger appeared. The shadows lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly disappearing.
This is the vision of passing the advanced dragon-tiger warrior level.
…
An unknown amount of time had passed before Yan Liqiang recovered from his practice of the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing. He felt like a new person, his whole body filled with Qi and blood to the extreme, his Qi was like a dragon and his blood was like a tiger. Yan Liqiang just moved his hands and feet lightly, and his muscles and veins exploded.
Open up the Dantian and become a warrior. Once you become a warrior you can practice Qi. When a warrior practices Qi until Qi and blood are fully circulated throughout the body, he will be advanced to the Dragon-Tiger Warrior.
"Is this the Dragon-Tiger Warrior?" Yan Liqiang was a little surprised, but not ecstatic, because this had already been within his expectations. He had felt during his training these days that the time for him to advance to the Dragon-Tiger Warrior was near, maybe within the next few days, but he didn't expect it to be today.
Yan Liqiang finally revealed a look of astonishment when he looked inward at his Dantian, because in his Dantian, the inner force of true Qi condensed from practicing the "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Divine Art" had turned into a giant elephant at this moment. The giant elephant was golden in color and looked extremely majestic. What surprised Yan Liqiang even more was that the golden elephant was actually different from ordinary elephants. Ordinary elephants only had two tusks, but the golden elephant in his Dantian had six tusks, and each tusk was as if made of silver, shiny and bright...
On the back of the giant elephant was the Qi Ding in the Dantian.
The incomplete secret book of "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Magic Art" has reached the end of the advancement to Dragon-Tiger Warrior. However, the secret book of "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Magic Art" never said that after advancing to Dragon-Tiger Warrior, the true qi internal force in the dantian will condense into a giant elephant. According to the secret book, shouldn't it condense into an air mass? Even Yan Liqiang's master Liu Guiyuan in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm said to Yan Liqiang that after practicing this technique and stabilizing the realm of the advanced Dragon-Tiger Warrior, elephant-shaped light and shadow will occasionally appear in the air mass in the dantian. At that time, Liu Guiyuan also made an appointment with Yan Liqiang that when Yan Liqiang advanced to the Dragon-Tiger Warrior and practiced to this point, he would leave a secret mark for him somewhere in the Sword God Sect, and he would naturally come to Yan Liqiang and pass on the rest of "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Magic Art" to Yan Liqiang...
What's going on? Yan Liqiang was a little confused, but at this moment he couldn't find anyone to explain it to him.
Yan Liqiang checked his whole body and found nothing abnormal. He also felt that the six-tusked giant elephant that appeared was much more powerful than any air mass, so he felt relieved.
…
The next day, when Yan Liqiang wanted to leave the yard to continue practicing, he found that the things he had been carrying on his back and holding in his hands yesterday had suddenly become much lighter.
Fortunately, Yan Liqiang still had some unused "stock", so he continued to add weight to himself without thinking.
He originally had eight things on his back, weighing 2,800 jin, and he added two more, so now he had 3,500 jin on his back. He also added two more thick iron bars to the long iron bar in his hand, without increasing its length, and fixed the two additional iron bars in the middle and end of the iron bar. Now, the weight of the iron bar in his hand increased from 1,400 jin to 2,100 jin...
Yan Liqiang felt that he could add a little more, but unfortunately, all the heavy iron rods that he had ordered from the blacksmith's workshop in two batches were already in his possession at this time, and there was nothing left. If he wanted more, he could only ask the blacksmith's workshop to make another batch.
However, today is already the 18th, and tomorrow is the day Liang Yiji and Xu Lang have agreed to duel on the life and death stage. Yan Liqiang thought about it and decided not to say anything today. He would ask the blacksmith workshop to make a few more after tomorrow.
These things seem to be a lot when held in your hands or carried on your body, but in fact they are not very large. This is because iron is heavy. According to the density of iron, one cubic meter of iron weighs 7.8 tons. All the things on your hands and body added up are less than half a cubic meter, so they are not particularly conspicuous.
One day, Yan Liqiang continued to exercise and found that the handle of the thick iron rod he was holding had left a clear palm print of his own. The hand print was so lifelike that it penetrated half an inch into the iron. Even the fingerprints on his fingers were clearly visible, as if they were engraved.
At night, we returned to the courtyard to eat. Among the dishes, there was still a portion of chicken stewed with old mountain ginseng...
…
On April 19, Yan Liqiang finally left Luyuan, where he had stayed for a month, and returned to Imperial Capital City...
