Chapter 29

"According to the original owner of this body's cultivation speed, it will probably take until next year or the end of this year to break through from Inner Gang to Outer Gang, right?"

Yan Zhaoge's demeanor was relaxed, with Gang energy surging around him, showing a tendency to permeate his body.

The leap from Inner Gang Master to Outer Gang Master is a massive hurdle, akin to a vast chasm, where many late-stage Inner Gang martial artists get stuck, making no progress for a long time.

Some people take longer to break through from late-stage Inner Gang to early-stage Outer Gang than the time it took them to progress from early-stage Inner Gang to late-stage Inner Gang.

However, the difficulty of breaking through corresponds to a significant increase in strength.

For martial artists like Yan Zhaoge, breaking through from late-stage Inner Gang to early-stage Outer Gang not only increases their own martial strength but also means they can freely wield middle-grade treasure weapons.

Inner Gang Masters can freely wield low-grade treasure weapons, but activating middle-grade treasure weapons is as difficult for them as it is for Body Tempering Realm martial artists to activate low-grade treasure weapons, making it hard to fully utilize the weapon's power.

Yan Zhaoge naturally has no shortage of middle-grade treasure weapons.

Therefore, breaking through to the Outer Gang Master realm means not only an increase in his own strength but also a significant boost in his overall combat power when combined with treasure weapons.

After the second reincarnation, Yan Zhaoge has remained at the Inner Gang Master realm for quite some time.

It's not that he can't break through; the bottleneck and difficulties of the original body's owner are not insurmountable for the current Yan Zhaoge. There are multiple methods to solve them, and he can break through anytime he wishes.

However, Yan Zhaoge is patient, carefully organizing and summarizing the various classics stored in his mind, then combining them with the current situation to deduce the best possible outcome and pave the way for future development.

Now that everything is basically ready, there's no need to wait any longer.

He can break through whenever he wants, entirely depending on his mood.

Yan Zhaoge sat quietly on the ground, and the air in the entire meditation room seemed to be completely frozen, with the dust on the ground unable to rise as if pressed down by something.

Numerous acupoints on his body seemed to have their own life, opening and closing continuously, like breathing.

With each breath, there was a sense of rhythm and harmony.

As he breathed, a mist-like aura rose from each acupoint.

The frequency of his breathing became increasingly slow, often taking several minutes for one breath. Each breath caused the acupoints to tremble.

Gradually, a faint white mist enveloped Yan Zhaoge's entire body, making him look like a pure white statue, sitting quietly as if preparing for something.

Suddenly, Yan Zhaoge's body trembled, and the white mist tightly adhering to his skin cracked like porcelain, forming a dense network of cracks.

Invisible and colorless Gang energy, with a faint metallic luster, shot out from these cracks, leaving trails in the air.

A long, dragon-like howl emerged from Yan Zhaoge's mouth, growing louder and stronger.

The cracks on his body became increasingly dense, and the dragon-like howl became deafening. The white mist enveloping Yan Zhaoge finally shattered completely!

Powerful, sharp, and fierce Gang energy swirled around Yan Zhaoge's body, revealing its full might.

Yan Zhaoge opened his eyes and smiled, controlling his Gang energy at will.

With a thought, the external Gang energy disappeared without a trace.

The external release of Gang energy, the realm of Outer Gang Master, was achieved.

Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes again and began to use his Gang energy to seep into his bones, strengthening and reinforcing his bone marrow.

Through relentless effort, Yan Zhaoge could feel significant changes in his own blood and qi.

Bone marrow produces blood, and after being refined, the martial artist's blood and qi naturally become stronger.

Martial cultivation is a process of continuous self-strengthening.

Body Tempering martial artists have three realms: flesh, meridians, and qi. In the late-stage flesh realm, bones and blood resonate, marking the first time the practice reaches the bones, significantly increasing their hardness and toughness, enhancing flexibility and strength.

In the late-stage qi realm, the practice reaches the bone marrow, harmonizing internal and external qi, with internal qi penetrating the bone marrow, achieving a preliminary transformation of the body.

However, the internal qi of Body Tempering martial artists is far inferior to the Gang energy of Master martial artists. At the Outer Gang Master realm, the second refinement of the bone marrow using Gang energy will result in another leap.

The significant enhancement from Inner Gang to Outer Gang is a comprehensive improvement.

Yan Zhaoge could clearly see through his inner vision that the last traces of impurities, which Inner Qi could not clear, were being expelled from his bones, though small in quantity, they were as black as ink, representing the deepest impurities in his bone marrow.

With the impurities cleared, not only did his bone marrow change, but his bones also became crystal clear.

Every inch of his bones was perfectly proportioned, pure, symmetrical, tough, and strong.

Each drop of newly generated blood was dense and round, with a faint silver glow, like mercury.

The flow of blood in his body no longer produced the sound of rushing water but was instead heavy and steady, yet not sluggish, flowing naturally and smoothly.

Bones like crystal, blood like mercury, these are the characteristics of an early-stage Outer Gang Master!

However, other early-stage Outer Gang Masters need a long time to complete the second refinement of their bones and bone marrow after initially achieving the external release of Gang energy and becoming an Outer Gang Master, to reach this state.

Reaching this state is equivalent to laying the foundation for further advancement to the mid-stage Outer Gang Master realm.

Yan Zhaoge completed all this in a short moment.

After completing his cultivation, Yan Zhaoge smiled, stood up, and took out a small porcelain bottle.

A black pill was poured out of the bottle, with a faint white vapor rising from it, as if enveloped in a cloud. The surface of the black pill had a faint luster, like black jade.

This is the Mystic Spirit Treasure Pill awarded by the sect, now in Yan Zhaoge's possession.

Although he has successfully broken through to the early-stage Outer Gang realm, Yan Zhaoge did not rush to take the pill but carefully examined it for a moment and sniffed it lightly.

After a while, Yan Zhaoge took out a golden needle and pierced it into the pill.

The pill seemed to come alive, trembling. Yan Zhaoge did not stop, piercing it nine times in succession. The Mystic Spirit Treasure Pill became calm again, and the pale white medicinal vapor was completely reabsorbed into the nine needle holes he had created.

Yan Zhaoge nodded in satisfaction, swallowed the pill, and then sat down to practice and refine the medicinal effects.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Zhaoge called out, "Ahu!"

Ahu knocked on the door of the meditation room, "Young Master."

"Have you found what I asked you to look for?" Yan Zhaoge asked.

Ahu replied, "There is news, but the authenticity still needs to be confirmed."

Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Be more careful; this time, the item is more important than the Inner Crystal Furnace."
