Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Introduction to Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, Enhancement of Visceral Functions!

A moment later.

A streak of rosy dawn rose from the horizon, instantly illuminating the entire land.

Jiang Ning immediately began to execute the Breathing and Exhaling Method of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

He had already become extremely proficient in this Breathing and Exhaling Method.

With each inhale and exhale, a certain energy was drawn into his abdomen, and his organs seemed to soak in a hot spring, teeming with life and vigor.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

[…..]

In the blink of an eye, before the sun had fully risen, Jiang Ning had almost filled up the experience of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Pre-entry 99/100)

The next moment, another prompt appeared in front of him.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

With the infusion of this point of experience, in an instant, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill achieved a breakthrough.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Entry 0/1000)

Thump!

Thump!!

Thump!!!

His normally steady heart suddenly began to pound violently, and through the transmission of his body, Jiang Ning could clearly feel the strong and powerful beating of his heart.

At this time, Jiang Ning’s breathing also became rapid and heavy, his body flushed red.

Huff—

Huff—

Hot air spewed from his nostrils.

He could feel his heart pumping like a blood pump at this moment, a large volume of blood gushing out, racing toward his organs and limbs, body temperature frighteningly high.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged with closed eyes, simply feeling the changes in his body, feeling what kind of effect the entry into Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill would bring.

After a long time.

A breeze blew by.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, by then his body had returned to calm, and his body temperature had dropped back to normal.

Huh—

He suddenly opened his mouth and expelled the impure energy from his belly.

Instantly, the fallen leaves within a yard’s distance in front of him seemed to be lifted by a gust of wind, rolling along the ground, surging toward the distance.

With just this attempt, Jiang Ning knew that the functionality of his organs had indeed vastly improved from before, significantly strengthened.

Such strong lung capacity was something he could not achieve before cultivating this Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

From the glimpse of one spot, it was evident that the lungs had strengthened so much, naturally, the other organs would be the same.

“Not bad!”

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, his face showing satisfaction.

“Having strong organ functions, without considering other effects, just the enhancement of physical strength alone can give me an advantage in a martial artist’s fight.”

“After all, once full power bursts forth, how long can an ordinary Qi-Blood martial artist maintain their peak state?”

“My strong physical strength means I have endurance, an innate advantage.”

“Moreover, the increase in organ functions brings me even more hidden benefits.”

“Physical recovery will be faster, digestive function will also be enhanced, and my absorption of food will be stronger.”

“Even because of the enhanced function of the organs, various soups and wild medicinal herbs will also have a stronger effect on me.”

Feeling the strengthened organs inside his body, with the sensation of ease in the breathing and exhalation, Jiang Ning’s heart was all the more content.

“The Inner Strength Method is to be practiced after the strengthening of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, followed by the strengthening of the five viscera and six organs.”

“Now that I have started early and achieved a small success, I can feel such a significant effect, no wonder according to Wang Jin’s hidden texts, many geniuses from great forces choose to cultivate both internally and externally.”

“Thus, before the physical body is sufficiently strong, the pace of inner cultivation might be slower.”

“But, if there is indeed success, it will be mutually beneficial. In particular, cultivating both internally and externally greatly reduces the long-term damage of outer refining to the body, allowing one to maintain a longer period of optimal cultivation time.”

“However, according to the records in the book, it is extremely difficult to reach the level of condensing Inner Breath without achieving a certain level of external refining; I wonder if it will be different for me.”

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the ground, stroking his chin in thought.

“From entry to mastery, it still requires the normal ten times Experience Value. It seems this Cultivation Technique is indeed extraordinary, far surpassing the Five Animals Fist.”

“I don’t even know if I can continue to grind for experience without the subsequent cultivation methods of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill!”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning looked up at the newly risen morning sun.

According to the fragment, after entering the threshold of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, one could preliminarily breathe in the essence qi of the heaven and earth from sunrise until 6:15 a.m. Now that the great sun was just rising, it was only about 6:15 a.m., still within the timeframe suitable for breathing and exhaling.

I might as well give it a try!

As the thought occurred, Jiang Ning gently inhaled and exhaled, slowly adjusting his state.

He did not dare to be careless at this moment.

He had a conjecture about what the breathing and exhaling method of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill might involve; probably it was the Great Sun Essence Qi mentioned in the ancient texts.

The reason why one could only breathe in the refined qi of the Great Sun only shortly after its rise, before entering the threshold, is because at that moment, the Great Sun Essence Qi is at its mildest.

Once the Great Sun rises, the Great Sun Essence Qi would gradually become more violent. Before the viscera have grown strong, if one were to consume too much of this uncontrollable Great Sun Essence Qi, it could cause the organs to burn.

After adjusting, Jiang Ning gazed at the rising sun and began the breathing and exhaling method of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

With each breath, strands of scorching qi surged into his nostrils, as if drawing in some kind of essence qi.

As his breathing and exhaling continued, the scorching qi that entered his nostrils became even more intense.

It’s happening fast!

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Suddenly,

A terrifyingly hot breath surged into his nostrils and moved swiftly down through his nasal passages towards his abdomen like a flame serpent.

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s face showed pain, the irritation in his nostrils even causing tears to secrete from his eyes.

Boom—

The fiery serpent of the Five Elements entered the abdomen and exploded within his body.

Now Jiang Ning didn’t feel the comfort as if he were soaking in a hot spring, but rather like he was scorched by the searing heat of a sea of fire.

He felt as if his five viscera and six organs were surrounded by flames, a terrible wave of heat sweeping through them.

“Not good! There should be some guiding method for the next step; I am missing the guidance method right now, which is causing the scorching essence qi to run wild in my organs.”

Feeling the changes in his organs, Jiang Ning immediately realized something was wrong.

Just then, the once violent qi that was like a fierce beast suddenly seemed to be soothed by an invisible force, calming from its restlessness to tranquility.

As this change occurred, Jiang Ning immediately felt the scorching sensation in his organs subside significantly, no longer that uncomfortable.

Time passed, breath by breath, as the now placid scorching essence qi slowly flowed among his organs.

Some time passed.

It wasn’t until this notification appeared that Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

“That was close!”

He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

“Luckily, the panel really came through. Even without the crucial subsequent methods, it still lets me grind for experience. With this, inner strengthening is hopeful!”

“According to the fragment, if the organs are further strengthened and the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill breaks through to another level, combined with strong spiritual power, one can control some organ functions and unleash the hidden strength of the body at critical moments.”

“Such requirements are truly worthy of the Daoist ways. Daoists are adept at Inner Strength Methods and meditation that strengthens the spirit. If I can meet their standards, this method can definitely be my trump card!”
