With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 68: Insights on Pile Skill

A moment passed.

As Meng Chuan’s body grew stronger, his appetite increased significantly.

Today, he alone ate more than half a pot of rice, while Xue Na and Meng Yongzhi had already finished their meals and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Meng Yongzhi was extremely comfortable, lounging with his legs crossed, holding the walnut that Meng Chuan had recently bought him, cracking it noisily.

Xue Na couldn’t stand the annoying sound and couldn’t help but complain:

"Stop playing with your damn walnut, it’s so loud I can’t even hear the TV."

Meng Yongzhi picked up the remote and pressed the volume increase button.

"No problem, if you can’t hear it, just turn it up."

Xue Na was furious, snatched the walnut from Meng Yongzhi’s hand, and tossed it to Meng Chuan.

Then she said:

"Chuan, quickly crush it, I can’t take it anymore."

Meng Chuan looked at the walnut in his hand somewhat helplessly.

"..."

At this time, Yong’an TV Station was broadcasting the latest developments outside the city about the Demon Nest.

Because Meng Yongzhi had turned the TV volume up especially loud, Meng Chuan could hear it clearly even in the dining room.

[Hello, this is your main studio host, and hello, viewers, can you hear me?]

[I’m Liu Xiaoyun, the on-site host. Can you see the fog behind me? That’s what surrounds the entire Demon Nest, the Celestial Demon Position.]

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan couldn’t help but walk over to take a look.

[Yes, thirty meters behind me is the level four Demon Nest entrance outside Yong’an City, and thirty minutes ago, a large number of military elites arrived and are currently engaged in fierce battles inside.]

...

[These large devices beside me are all newly developed anti-demon devices from the National Research Center, like this cylinder-shaped transparent column used to detect changes in the Celestial Demon Force Field concentration.]

[Now half of it has turned black, according to the scale display, the force field concentration inside the Demon Nest is level four.]

...

Xue Na spoke while eating fruit:

"With all this high-tech, our country is really strong now; the military is on the scene, does that mean it’s about to be unsealed?"

Meng Yongzhi was still upset about the walnut incident, and grumbled unhappily:

"What a silly woman, unseal what? This means the situation is worsening!"

Meng Chuan found his uncle’s words to be true; the reports from Great Chu’s official statements should always be taken with a pinch of salt...

With no other news to follow, Meng Chuan returned to his bedroom to prepare for pile standing.

His uncle watched Meng Chuan walk into the bedroom, muttering:

"Our Old Meng family, we can only rely on Chuan being a true dragon."

...

No matter how the external situation changes, martial arts practice remains paramount.

"Treat pile skills like eating and drinking every day, you mustn’t skip a day of practice."

Master Luo’s teachings echoed in his mind, as Meng Chuan pushed aside distracting thoughts to earnestly practice pile standing.

Time passed by minute by minute, the pile skill is most effective in honing patience, as Meng Chuan used willpower and momentum to resist the fatigue in his body.

Actually, as he grew more proficient with the Taiyi Three Talents Posture Human Posture, Meng Chuan had gradually adapted to this testing process.

According to the martial arts precursors’ summaries, the Human Posture stage is divided into three levels.

The first level involves the body structure being scattered.

New learners will find the posture uncomfortable; as they continue to hold the position, their body will begin to feel disjointed.

The second level is a sense of lightness in the body and strong breathing.

The human body has a strong ability to adapt; as the pile skill progresses, the scattered feeling of the body gradually subsides, giving a sense of lightness.

However, this is closely followed by a feeling of fatigue, which he is currently experiencing, having no other recourse but to counter it with resilience and strength.

The third level is a habit of correct body structure, without any particular sensation.

This is what Master Luo frequently referred to as treating pile standing like eating and drinking.

At this level, during pile standing, one can think about martial arts theories or watch martial arts instructional videos, effectively multitasking.

After about five hours of invigorating practice, Meng Chuan looked towards the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel.

[Taiyi Three Talents Posture: Human Posture (54%)→(55%) Pending Limit Breaking]

[Limit Breaking Characteristics: Morning and Evening Comprehension (Basic)]

"Pile skills indeed get harder to progress as you advance further; it takes three days, nearly 15 hours of training, to increase proficiency by 1%, and the time invested in pile skills will surely increase in the future."

This is the primary difficulty on the path of martial arts; many who aren’t lacking in talent fail because they stumble over this challenge of persistence.

"Anyway, my progress speed is quite good. By the time I break through five barriers, my pile skill progress should at least be around 60%, as long as it continues to lead the improvement in qi blood speed, it’ll be alright."

"Of course, the biggest advantage I have over others in pile skills is [once proven, eternally proven]."

Pile skills are the essence of meticulous effort; without daily training, irregular practice leads to gradual muscle degradation and dwindling vitality, reverting back to the scattered structure state.

Meng Chuan is different; the possibility of forgetting and degrading may be his greatest advantage now and in the future.

After finishing his pile standing, taking a shower and drying his hair, Meng Chuan felt his energy was still abundant, likely due to yesterday’s body discomfort that led to resting all day without much practice.

His current sleep time had already decreased significantly; it’s almost midnight, and he still needs to get up at five for morning exercises. Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment but decided to force himself to sleep.

Twenty minutes later.

Meng Chuan was still awake, so he opened his phone to browse the Martial Arts Merchant Mall.

"Truly poor scholars and rich martial artists; anything useful for martial arts training costs at least five figures."

He originally thought the over a million he had in his account was quite substantial, but now it seems far from enough.

The homepage of the mall was continuously hosting a 24-hour auction.

Meng Chuan clicked out of curiosity; it was a Martial Arts Pill called [Pure Jade Gourd], resembling its name, just a small green gourd, with the bidding currently breaking into nine figures.

Upon opening the introduction, he realized this thing was indeed extraordinary.

Occasionally found growing in the deepest parts of level three or higher Demon Nests, it requires hundreds of precious auxiliary herbs to blend and refine once harvested.

After the medicinal properties of the auxiliary herbs are boiled out, they need to be added again for continued refining, with the entire process taking a year before use.

The function is simple: primarily used to assist martial arts experts in refining the mental realm limit breaking, and also features minor benefits like enhancing qi blood and promoting muscle growth.

Meng Chuan felt very sentimental; no matter where you are, money can solve ninety-nine percent of problems.

"I still need to work hard to make money."

Continuing to browse casually, medicinal pills worth millions and tens of millions are everywhere, making Meng Chuan quite envious.

In the new product tasting area, he suddenly found an honor special page.

Meng Chuan clicked out of curiosity.

[Verification successful, welcome, esteemed Silver Lion]

Indeed impressive, Meng Chuan felt a bit proud.

Upon entering the interface, it was empty, except for a single line in large font.

[Currently being intensively stocked, please stay tuned]

"Why is it open without stock..."

It was already very late, Meng Chuan closed his phone and counted sheep to sleep.

In his dream, the fat little sheep turned into one green gourd after another.

"One hundred million, two hundred million, three hundred million..."
