Chapter 264: No Hindrance
Translator: Myuu Editor: Myuu
Yan Liqiang was utterly oblivious to the matters happening outside of Deer Villa!
Eunuch Liu’s sudden appearance today did not change his cultivation regin. He continued on as usual and overexerted his physical strength and stamina to the limit repeatedly before arduously dragging his empty husk of a body back to his residence in exhaustion.
When he took off the 2,800 jin burden by putting down the pole in his hands and subsequently untied the chains on his body, the light sensation that he had anticipated and missed for so long imdiately ca back to Yan Liqiang. This caused his body to feel ethereal in an instant, as if he had just risen from hell to the clouds above. Yan Liqiang almost grunted from feeling too comfortable.
It would be extrely difficult for those who had not experienced this sort of struggle to understand this feeling. Putting down a simple thing could sotis bring trendous joy to one’s body and spirit, allowing them to feel beyond satisfied.
The person who ca to deliver food to Yan Liqiang arrived at the appointed ti. Yan Liqiang was caught by surprise when he noticed that there was an extra nourishnt — a whole stewed pheasant with ginseng. With just a whiff of the aroma, one would feel refreshed, especially from the aroma of the old ginseng. Although Yan Liqiang was not entirely proficient in understanding dicinal herbs, he could tell that the ginseng was extrely valuable based on its appearance. The ginseng was already quite old.
Normally, this type of expensive ingredient and dicinal material would not be present on the kitchen nu due to the large population in Deer Villa because no one could afford it. Since they had delivered this dish to Yan Liqiang, he did not hold back and devoured everything they served him, but not before splitting the stewed pheasant into half for Goldie, who was already drooling. He chewed the entire ginseng in pieces as if he were ginseng was also chewed into pieces like he was eating a carrot.
As expected of the ginseng. Once it entered his stomach, Yan Liqiang could feel its warmth slowly spreading to his entire body from within, making him feel quite comfortable. This type of ingredient was more beneficial than the food he usually had.
“Oh right, is there a special feast at Deer Villa today? You even brought stewed pheasant with ginseng for .” After Yan Liqiang consud the food, he casually asked a question as he returned the al box to the servant.
“Eunuch Liu is the one who personally asked the chef to make that stewed pheasant with ginseng for Commandant Yan!”
Yan Liqiang was slightly surprised. He then smiled at the servant and said, “Alright, thank you for the trouble!”
......
After watching the servant leave with the al box, Yan Liqiang rubbed his face before he proceeded to lock the door and returned to his courtyard.
Having rested in the courtyard for a while and pacing around to help with his digestion, he felt refreshed. Thus, Yan Liqiang returned to his private room and began his crucial daily cultivation and strengthening process.
Yan Liqiang was startled by the rate of progression of his cultivation during the past few days. Various breakthrough phenona took effect on Yan Liqiang’s body in just two to three days. Sotis, the phenona would occur several tis per day, thus becoming a common occurrence to him. Because of this circumstance, Yan Liqiang did not dare to cultivate in his courtyard anymore. Instead, he returned to his private room so that his movents would be scaled-down and would not attract too much attention.
If Yan Liqiang disclosed his one month’s cultivation speed and progress to anyone, he could startle a lot of people into thinking that he was talking about myths. However, all of that wasn’t a myth. It was sothing that Yan Liqiang truly understood as ‘no hindrance’.
Today was a bit special, probably because of the effect from that old ginseng. Yan Liqiang had just entered the Three Forces Qi Channeling First Stance when he felt the greater abundance of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth rushing into his body from his surroundings like water being discharged from a dam. That was when the strengthening process began.
A few monts later, the breakthrough phenona appeared on Yan Liqiang’s body. A golden light began to envelop the surrounding area around his body. Instantly, a golden yet antique bell appeared as well. Subsequently, the golden antique bell turned into a ray of light and rged with the crotch area below Yan Liqiang’s lower abdon.
From the mont Iron Head technique achieved its success, this was the thirteenth ti that the various body techniques of The Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique had achieved an advancent within this month. The Iron Crotch technique was the hardest to cultivate, which was why it was the last to achieve its success. Recently, the breakthrough phenona of the techniques seed different than the ones from before. As soon as the image of the golden ancient bell rged into his crotch area, Yan Liqiang’s muscles and bones began to crack and explode like firecrackers. Afterward, a miniature golden ancient bell appeared in Yan Liqiang’s head, throat, back, arms, shoulders, abdon, palms, fists, elbows, fingers, legs, knees, and crotch areas. These miniature golden ancient bells then slowly rged into one, forming a larger bell. Yan Liqiang’s body was completely enveloped within the bell. In the end, the bell shrunk and rged into Yan Liqiang’s body once more.
At that mont, Yan Liqiang could hear a distinct bell ring in his ears. The sound of the bell echoed within every cell in his body, causing all his cells to resonate simultaneously. As the cells resonated, his skin gradually beca golden. When the lingering bell sound began to fade, Yan Liqiang’s complexion finally returned to normal.
The first layer of Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique: Success.
Despite that, Yan Liqiang still continued his cultivation. The majestic Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and energy maintained its endless flow into Yan Liqiang’s body. The first round of Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing wasn’t complete yet. Again, a stream of white light swept around him. And within that light, clear images of four propitious clouds appeared. Afterward, these images quickly rged into Yan Liqiang’s legs...
The fourth layer of Cloud Dragon’s Ten Transformations: Success.
Half an hour later, another blue light appeared around Yan Liqiang’s body. This blue light appeared to be a majestic-looking long spear. As soon as the image appeared, the tip of the spear trembled, causing three blue rays to rge into Yan Liqiang’s forehead, chest, and his dantian in the lower abdon area.
There were three grades altogether for basic spear techniques. The appearance of this phenonon, on the other hand, symbolized Yan Liqiang’s basic spear techniques which had been perfected completely. One could even cultivate to a higher class within the first grade of the spear technique.
However, this was not the last breakthrough phenonon for today...
Just when Yan Liqiang was cultivating the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing for the third ti, his whole body suddenly glowed in a bright red light, as if he was being set on fire. The entire room was illuminated in bright red, and within the red light, the shadows of a large sinister python and a virile tiger erged for fifteen minutes before it slowly dissipated and vanished.
These were the phenona of advancing toward Supre Martial Warrior.
......
After an unknown period of ti had passed, Yan Liqiang finally recovered from the state of cultivating Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing, feeling as if he had been reborn. The blood flow in every part of his body was replenished to its limit. His Qi was akin to that of a dragon, and his blood to a tiger. Yan Liqiang only slightly moved his arms and legs, yet the muscles in his body burst into a series of explosions.
Once the dantian had been opened, one would be able to beco a Martial Warrior, thus gaining the ability to cultivate Qi. And once the Martial Warrior sufficiently cultivates their Qi and blood throughout their body, then they would be able to advance toward becoming a Supre Martial Warrior.
“Is this Supre Martial Warrior?” Yan Liqiang was slightly surprised, but not overjoyed. This was because he already expected the outco. During these few days of cultivating, he felt that he was nearing the advancent to Supre Martial Warrior, which might have been within a few more days. However, he didn’t expect today to be the day.
Yan Liqiang only revealed a shocked expression after he used his inner sight to check on his dantian. The vital Qi inner force coagulated by the Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Divine Technique he had cultivated inside his dantian had already ford a giant elephant. This elephant was completely golden, which made it seem extrely dignified. The more shocking part was the dissimilarity of this golden elephant to that of a normal one. Normal elephants only had two tusks, whereas this golden elephant inside his dantian had six tusks. Moreover, each tusk seed like it was made of silver and they looked bright and lustrous...
A Qi cauldron from the dantian sat on the back of the giant elephant.
Therefore, the cultivation of the incomplete secret manual of Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Divine Technique ended here. Advancing toward Supre Martial Warrior was the end goal of the cultivation. However, this secret manual never stated that his vital Qi inner force in his dantian would condense into a giant elephant after advancing to Supre Martial Warrior. Based on the explanation from the manual, the vital Qi should condense into Qi masses. Back then when he and Master Liu Guiyuan talked in the Heavenly Realm, he added that when this cultivation technique stabilized after advancing into Supre Martial Warrior, the Qi mass inside his dantian would sotis cause a light image of an elephant to appear. Liu Guiyuan also made an additional arrangent. Once Yan Liqiang advanced to Supre Martial Warrior cultivation, the latter should leave a mark sowhere in the Divine Sword Sect so that Liu Guiyuan could co and look for Yan Liqiang by himself and impart the next section of the Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Divine Technique to him...
What was going on? Yan Liqiang was sowhat confused. But at that mont, he could not find anyone to explain what had happened to him.
Yan Liqiang checked his body thoroughly. He only felt relieved when he noticed there was nothing strange in particular despite sensing the Six-Tusked Elephant that was more powerful than any Qi mass he had ever felt before.
......
The next day, as Yan Liqiang decided to leave the courtyard to continue his cultivation, he realized that the items he carried on his back and held in his hand felt much lighter than before.
Fortunately, he still has so unused ‘stocks’. As a result, he continued to increase the weight without a second thought.
Originally, he had eight large tal poles on his back, which weighed about 2,800 jin. Now that two more poles were added, the weight of the items on his back now sumd up to 3,500 jin. anwhile, two large, bulky tal poles were added to the original one he wielded. Without extending the length of the tal poles, he secured the two tal poles in the middle and the end of the original tal pole. In that instant, the weight of the tal pole increased from 1,400 jin to 2,100 jin...
Yan Liqiang felt that he could add more weight to his weapons. Unfortunately, he had already used up the two custom-made heavy tal poles from the blacksmith workshop at this point. There were no extra tal poles left. If he wished to add more, he would have to ask the blacksmith workshop to make another batch for him.
However, today was already the 18th. Tomorrow marked the day of Liang Yijie and Xu Lang’s arranged duel in the Arena of Life and Death. Yan Liqiang thought about it for a while and realized that having the blacksmith make one today was impossible. He decided to wait for the day after tomorrow to ask the blacksmith workshop to make a few more poles for him.
These things on his back and hands seed like a lot, but in reality, they had smaller volus since tals were naturally heavy. Based on the density of the tal, the weight of one cubic ter would be 7.8 tons. All the tal poles, including the ones on his back and hand were less than half a cubic ter, which was why they didn’t seem particularly conspicuous.
As Yan Liqiang continued his training throughout the day, he finally realized that the hand grip of the tal pole he wielded had already been imprinted with an apparent grip mark. This handprint seed life-like as the mark was etched half an inch into the tal. Even the fingerprints were obvious to the naked eye as if they were engraved on the surface.
When night ca for him to return to the courtyard for dinner, he noticed a bowl of stewed pheasant with ginseng amongst the dishes again...
......
On the 19th of the fourth lunar month, Yan Liqiang finally left Deer Villa, where he had stayed for a month, and went back to the Imperial Capital.
