Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 308 - 101: Breakthrough (2)

"I am willing!"

"Patriarch, please accept my bow!"

"Whoosh..."

"Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill?"

"Is this the original?"

A commotion arose from the rear. The crowd’s expressions subtly changed, paying no heed to the Wild Doctor, they hurried to the direction of the noise.

In the Wang Family’s inner courtyard study, quite a few people were gathered. Seeing everyone approaching, they quickly dispersed to create a corridor.

The study housed a hidden chamber.

At this moment, the chamber had been opened, several bodies lay on the ground, suggesting the process to open it was not smooth.

Within the chamber also lay several corpses, their faces dark blue, with a faint stench, dead from poisoning.

At the center of the chamber was a high platform where a delicate wooden box rested, containing several thick books.

On the cover of the topmost book, six large characters were prominently written: Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill.

"Master!"

"Sir!"

"..."

The few people inside bowed, one of them said:

"The Wang Family is ruthless, even leaving traps in their inherited Cultivation Technique, catching Brother Xu and the others off guard."

"What a pity!"

He sighed, then said:

"The secret manual of the Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill is hidden here. We used Jade Chopsticks to flip through it. It is the original, but it seems a few key mantras are missing."

"No matter." Pan Ran waved his hand:

"In such inheritances, crucial points being orally transmitted is inevitable."

"With the secret manual, when cross-referenced with what we’ve extracted from the Wang Family, we can restore it to ninety-nine percent, which is sufficient for us."

Others nodded in agreement.

No one hoped to obtain the complete Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill. Moreover, even a great Cultivation Technique’s effectiveness depends on who uses it.

Top-grade skills don’t necessarily produce top-grade martial artists.

He continued,

"Aside from Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill, there’s another book below, the Undying True Skill, which Grandmaster Wang likely used to fake his death."

"Oh!"

Pan Ran raised an eyebrow:

"Copy it too, and give it to the others."

"Yes!"

The man complied.

Throughout, the survivors of the Bai Martial Arts did not say a word, it seemed the dominance of the Pan Family in Santai County was a foregone conclusion.

"A true transmission in one sentence, a false transmission in a thousand scrolls!"

Fang Zheng set down the book in his hand, unable to help but sigh:

"The ancients truly cannot deceive me!"

Before obtaining the Wang Family’s Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill, he never realized there were so many subtleties to circulating True Qi.

By using True Qi to stimulate the corresponding acupoints, one can speed up healing, increase the speed of Body Technique, and even enhance vitality.

The relationship between True Qi and essence, energy, and spirit is indeed very intricate.

"Have I unknowingly taken so many detours?"

Recalling the experiences of the past two years, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. If he had acquired this skill earlier, he wouldn’t have been so bewildered.

The Cultivation Technique is one aspect.

The Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill also records many explorations and deductions related to True Qi, and even involves many mysterious acupoint connections of the human body.

These,

are mostly common knowledge.

But,

common knowledge was precisely what Fang Zheng lacked!

Having cultivated True Qi by himself, never having exchanged ideas with others at the same level, all he learned came from a scant few secret manuals, a true lack of common knowledge.

Some little tricks, if unmentioned, might never be known in a lifetime.

"Relying on my experience as a Martial Artist to blindly cultivate, I’ve even managed to reach Grand Circulation without Qi deviation; in hindsight, I’ve been blessed."

"Thanks to modern technology, I could cultivate with the aid of a generator, without needing to delve deeply into meridians and acupoint knowledge..."

Fang Zheng stroked his chin, in deep thought:

"So, the key to not breaking through the Realm of Four Thunders lies in the body; excessive reliance on external power led to rapid improvement in my strength, making the body too strong and creating a barrier with True Qi."

"The solution is quite simple."

"Firstly, slow down and let the cultivation progress gradually. With time, I will adapt, and then naturally advance to the Realm of Five Thunders."

"Secondly, consume Elixirs, allowing the body to endure stronger True Qi!"

"Perhaps I can take both paths together, re-understanding the Elemental Thunder Skill while using Elixirs to temper the body, so neither is delayed."

"Alas!"

He sighed again, Fang Zheng furrowing his brows.

This is the plight of having no guidance.

The issue he faces now is still due to his inadequate understanding of the Elemental Thunder Skill, having reached the Realm of Four Thunders solely by external force support.

Even if he uses Elixirs to reach the Realm of Five Thunders or even Six, there will ultimately be a limit.

Furthermore,

relying solely on external forces can damage the body, not a long-term solution.

Only by obtaining the complete Elemental Thunder Skill can the problem be fundamentally resolved.

"It seems I’ll eventually have to visit Chen Jiuniang’s appointment at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but... I’ll wait until I’ve reached the Realm of Five Thunders first."

The issue of Elixirs is easily solved.

Grandmaster Wang narrowly escaped a deadly illness by taking a concoction known as Ginseng Essence Treasure Protection Soup.

Not only did it save his life, but he lived for another eight years.

This soup,

greatly replenishes Primordial Energy and nourishes the body. It could help Fang Zheng’s Elemental Thunder Skill progress significantly, after being stagnant for a long time.

"And the Acupoint Opening Pearl!"

Retrieving an item from his person, he couldn’t help but smile.

This was also from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, initially a trade between Chen Jiuniang and someone else, which by a twist of fate ended up in his hands.

However, after acquiring it, he couldn’t use it for lack of knowledge, fearing misuse could harm him, reducing it to a showpiece.

Now things were different...

With a lift of his hand and an opening of his mouth, the Acupoint Opening Pearl fell into his mouth.

True Qi circulated within, entering the Treasure Pearl through the mouth, then returning to the body after a turn inside the Acupoint Opening Pearl.
