Chapter 386: Condensing Meridians! (4k)

Long, low breathing echoed incessantly, and the burning gold-bright oil lamp was extinguished at some unknown time in the surging airflow.

The collision of muscles and bones produced the roar of dragons and tigers, and the surging of blood manifested the sound of waves hitting the shore.

In the narrow quiet room, it seemed as if an ancient great demon was crouching; just breathing caused the candlestick to sway and the lamp oil to spill.

However, as the center of all events, Liang Qu only felt scorching heat all over his body, and illusory flames were born from his internal organs, as if they were going to completely burn him into ashes from the inside out.

This was no illusion!

Looking inside his body.

Liang Qu could clearly perceive that his body temperature was constantly rising.

Blood surged like magma, his whole body's skin and membrane were crimson like blood, bulging inch by inch—a terrifying scene of breaking through the skin barrier for the first time!

"Ha!"

He opened his mouth to exhale.

A scorched smell permeated.

Liang Qu's head was low and heavy, and the nausea of instinct made his throat swallow constantly.

Since yesterday noon, he hadn't eaten a single meal.

The treasure fish digestion turned into pure blood energy, and amidst the nausea, only stomach acid surged, drifting into his mouth and turning into sour astringency.

The body was saving itself.

Skin, flesh, bones, blood, organs, three fields, three barriers, three orifices—everything had long been fully developed, harmonious and perfect.

The blood energy and essence of his whole body had grown to a saturated degree that was difficult to improve, like a large pond filled with water.

So much so that the terrifying blood energy brought by the treasure fish digestion repeatedly washed over him, but there was no place to accommodate it, to slowly release the blood energy and turn it into nutrients.

At this moment, if he didn't absorb the blood energy quickly, there were almost only two paths waiting for Liang Qu.

Either release all the blood energy and turn it into nothingness!

Or forcibly endure its eruption and suffer internal injuries!

However, the road ahead was not cut off!

The predecessors who followed one after another had long ago opened up a heaven-reaching avenue in the dilemma of "not left, then right."

Condensing Meridians and Building Bridges!

Condense internal breath, gather it into meridians, then combine the meridians into bridges, forming an internal world, continuing to dig into potential, and breaking through the shackles of the human body!

Man-made opening of a new water storage tank!

Therefore, although Liang Qu's physical condition was terrible, there was no panic in his heart.

Within expectations.

Everything was normal.

The only thing to do right now was to condense the blood energy and gather the first key major meridian among the thirty-six meridians of "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan"—the Chong Meridian!

The Chong Meridian is the sea of the five internal organs and six bowels.

The Chong Meridian runs through the whole body, capable of connecting the Upper Dantian, Middle Dantian, and Lower Dantian—all three orifices—in one fell swoop, forming resonance and completing the transformation.

It becomes the center of the body's blood energy, to regulate the blood energy of the whole body, nourish the limbs and bones, and store essence and qi!

Liang Qu calmed his mind and recited the manual's formula silently.

Not only did he not release the blood energy, but he also closed all the pores of his whole body, locking in the blood energy of his whole body.

This act was extremely dangerous.

If his physique were even a few threads weaker, and the meridian condensation failed, the backlash would result in death or serious injury!

But Liang Qu's physique had long been like cast copper and iron, impossible to shake.

Not to mention the dragon tendons and tiger bones brought by the Ze Rong, he himself had also practiced the "Descending Dragon and Subduing Tiger Vajra Skill," holding the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, and condensing a blurry little golden man at the Dantian.

Under the same realm, his physical strength was unreasonable!

"Gather Qi, build meridians!"

Wind and clouds surged in the quiet room.

Sunlight shone in the west wing.

The old monk, for the first time in a long while, didn't lecture the scarred-face river otter, but sat behind the table, silently turning his prayer beads.

The scarred-face river otter followed suit, not knowing where it had gotten a string of Bodhi seeds, holding them in its claws, and turning the beads along with the old monk.

Only the small river otters in the back didn't know what conflict they had caused, biting each other with brown fur in their mouths, muttering and fighting.

"The rushing flow makes a noisy sound, the flat wilderness reaches the end of the sky. As always."

The old monk put away the prayer beads and chanted a sentence.

Four orifices were rare in the world, unheard of.

Breaking through Wolf Smoke, even if one practiced two seats of True Gang, it wasn't anything strange.

It was just a matter of course.

The fighting small river otters thought the old monk was talking about them, loosened their bites slightly, and seeing the old monk wasn't looking at them.

All four claws were used!

Amidst low hisses, broken fur flew.

Daylight moved south.

Before the blood energy could further rampage and damage the body, Liang Qu's will guided it, finally turning the formless into the formed, twisting the blood energy into thin, silvery-white threads.

It's coming!

Liang Qu suppressed his joy, probed his will downward, connected with the silvery-white threads, and used the mental formula to slowly guide the threads, gathering them at the Upper Dantian.

After long efforts, countless threads gathered, twisted into a ball, and slowly refined into drops of essence, sinking all the way from the Upper Dantian to the Middle Dantian, and finally falling into the Lower Dantian.

Wherever the essence passed, a faint white trace flowed out.

Repeating this over and over.

The white trace became increasingly clear, faintly emitting silvery light.

With the path ahead, the flow of blood energy essence became smoother, and more and more rampaging blood energy was driven and attracted, gathering here.

The surging heat in the quiet room gradually subsided, and the swollen skin and flesh were like a deflating balloon, re-adhering.

Liang Qu's tightly furrowed brows were smoothed out.

The white trace driving the blood energy meant that the prototype of the Chong Meridian had appeared. The most dangerous barrier had been passed; in other words, a quasi-Wolf Smoke expert!

However, the entire breakthrough had just begun.

Gathering meridians was the foundation for breaking through the realm.

After condensing meridians, then establish True Gang!

Gathering the prototype of the Chong Meridian, Liang Qu didn't dare to stop for a moment, guided the remaining blood energy in his body, used the method of condensing True Gang from the "Green Dragon Killing Scripture" to move Qi, and visualized a vast Azure Dragon in his mind!

Outside the body.

Muscles and bones roared in unison, skin and flesh collided.

Viscous crimson air waves wrapped around his whole body, and streaks of Gang Qi floated like flowing light.

At first, it was chaotic and disorganized, but faintly, it gradually leaned toward a domineering form, extremely captivating.

The term "Gang Qi" originally meant rigid, awe-inspiring Qi. Later, it was incorporated into martial arts to describe the unique Qi machine formed after the six orifices of Galloping Horse, with strong characteristics.

Holding this Qi machine, a martial artist could cut iron like mud and chop gold and break jade even with ordinary weapons, and could injure people by picking flowers and plucking leaves!

If it were a spiritual weapon, it would be even more like a tiger with wings!

Looking at the vastness of the world, no matter where one went, one would have a foothold.

And True Gang, compared to Gang Qi, went a step further, not only being indestructible but also having the divine effect of body protection!

A Wolf Smoke martial artist, no matter where they were in any county, or even some prefectures, could be called an expert.

That Sand River Gang leader, Cheng Chong, relied on his own strength, a pair of flesh hands, and the most ordinary Fierce Tiger True Gang, to beat the high-level members of the gang until they couldn't lift their heads.

And the Taiqing Dragon Gang was derived from the "Green Dragon Killing Scripture."

Not to mention the killing effect, just the fact that a Heaven-Human Jiang Zongshi obtained it and relied on this martial art to comprehend a True Technique-level spear technique made it far more brilliant than that ordinary Fierce Tiger True Gang!

Even after Yang Yang Dongxiong saw it, he said that all the methods of condensing True Gang he had in his hands were not as good as the "Green Dragon Killing Scripture"!

A complete and extremely powerful method of cultivating True Gang!

"Taiqing Dragon Gang, supreme and great."

Liang Qu emptied his mind and devoted himself to visualization.

The Gang Qi flowed and changed in the quiet room, and the form that flashed in the chaos became increasingly clear.

The blood energy also slowly transformed under the guidance of the Chong Meridian.

Unknowingly.

The spring breeze brushed over the new buds.

All things were vibrant, and the air with the fresh scent of plants flowed, making one's appetite open wide.

"Eat, eat!"

Fan Xinglai ran into the kitchen excitedly, rolled up his sleeves, and added rice to his bowl.

A growing boy eats his father poor.

Twelve or thirteen years old, just growing his body, not two hours after breakfast, Fan Xinglai was already like a hungry bear that had just woken up from hibernation.

"Master, the Jiang Zongshi hasn't come yet."

"It's okay, Aunt Zhang. Brother Shui said there are urgent matters recently, so he won't come out to eat, and the Jiang Zongshi also said he wasn't hungry. I went to call him early this morning."

Aunt Zhang gave an "oh."

She didn't understand the affairs of martial artists; anyway, whatever the Master said was what it was.

Fan Xinglai picked up his chopsticks and shoveled rice, eating the red-braised pork with fat and lean meat until his mouth was full of oil.

Enjoying it heartily.

Dong dong dong!

The main gate was knocked.

"Who is it? Coming to the door during mealtime."

Fan Xinglai wiped off the oil, complaining, but his legs were not slow at all.

"Master Li?"

Outside the main gate, Li Li Shoufu held a booklet, panting: "Xinglai? Is Lord Liang at home? There is an urgent matter, go and report it quickly."

"The Master is in seclusion, saying not to disturb him unless there is an urgent matter. Eh?"

Saying this, Fan Xinglai gave a light "eh."

It seems like it is an urgent matter now?

Li Li Shoufu's brows were tightly locked. He hadn't expected Liang Qu to be in seclusion at this time.

Xiangyi County had work!

Liang Qu had repeatedly urged him to inform him of any matters in Xiangyi County at the first opportunity, but he hadn't said whether it was important enough to disturb him even in seclusion.

At Liang Qu's age, seclusion must mean a major breakthrough!

Should he go in or not?

"Is Master Li busy today? If not, come in and eat first. Eat and wait a while. The Master didn't come out last night, so he should be out soon, right?"

Seeing Li Li Shoufu hesitating, Fan Xinglai made a suggestion.

"This..."

Li Li Shoufu opened his mouth. Just at this moment, a burst of green light appeared in the courtyard, like water mist.

Afterwards, there was a leisurely long chant, the whistling sound surging like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, covering the entire three-courtyard residence.

Fan Xinglai retreated a step, dust blinding his eyes. He lowered his head and was surprised to find all the dust floating and turning on the ground, flowing and spreading outward, rippling layer by layer—truly miraculous!

Is he really coming out soon?

Li Li Shoufu's heart tightened.

While he was thinking, a very large river otter ran out from beside the courtyard, carrying a wooden board on its body. After looking around, the river otter ran to the two on all fours, put down the wooden board, wrote and drew with a piece of black charcoal, and held it up to Li Li Shoufu.

On it, three large characters were written crookedly.

"Wait a bit."

Li Li Shoufu and the river otter stared at each other, and it took a long while to understand the meaning of the three characters.

Wait a bit!

He had long heard that Liang Qu had trained a group of river otters that could sail large ships, but he hadn't expected them to be so miraculous.

They could write!

"It seems he won't be out for long. Since that's the case, eat first."

In the narrow secret room, a violent wind rose, green light surged like water, layers intertwined, faintly forming a coiled Azure Dragon, flowing with a dangerous and powerful aura.

The green light spread over the bones, and there was the sound of gold and jade clashing, constantly strengthening the whole body!

True Gang entered the body, essence and Qi were overflowing!

Taiqing Dragon Gang appeared for the first time!

With the foundation of spirit-storing first, and then months of research and study, communicating with the Jiang Zongshi's spiritual resonance.

Liang Qu could be said to have paved the way for a long time, and everything was a matter of course!

Up to this point, the ordinary breakthrough should have been completely completed, only needing subsequent stabilization, and the True Gang would become increasingly clear, feeding back into the flesh.

But Liang Qu wanted more!

Condensing the Taiqing Dragon Gang was far from the limit!

Let Tatta Kai go out and keep Li Li Shoufu.

Liang Qu communicated with the Ze Tripod, his thoughts moving.

Forty-eight thousand points of Water Marsh Essence turned into a blue torrent, pouring into his body.

Such a huge quantity was unprecedented.

In no time, a white ape phantom appeared in the secret room!

The ten-foot-tall great ape illuminated all things, its aura covering the surrounding area.

The biting white fur all over its body flowed with the wind, majestic and extraordinary.

This white ape was not True Gang, but the Ze Rong phantom that Liang Qu could only manifest after integrating a large amount of Water Marsh Essence.

It was also another True Gang that Liang Qu had prepared!

In an instant, two giant beast figures were squeezed into the secret room at the same time!

Before Liang Qu could visualize and condense it to produce the White Ape True Gang.

A sudden change occurred!

The white ape in the phantom suddenly roared at the sky, as if it had come alive, waving its arms and grabbing the Azure Dragon in one grasp!

The speed of the change caught Liang Qu off guard, but he had no worries.

The blood energy in his body flowed, the Gang wind moved and changed again, still advancing in the direction of condensing True Gang as he had envisioned!

The second True Gang was generating spontaneously!

"There would actually be such a change!"

While Liang Qu was pondering.

The Azure Dragon held by the white ape didn't show weakness, twisted its body, entangled the white ape, squeezed it inch by inch, and sharp Gang Qi raged.

The white ape was furious and hammered violently, its fists like stars falling to the ground, pushing away the air waves.

Green and white light and shadow intertwined.

The two giant beasts unfolded a primitive slaughter in the narrow space, mountains collapsing and seas roaring.

Fierce and violent.

Domineering to the extreme!

However, with the continuous rise of the fusion degree, the Ze Rong figure became increasingly solid, and the aura it emitted gradually overwhelmed the Azure Dragon, forcibly stretching the dragon open bit by bit amidst the binding!

As one rose, the other fell, and the green light retreated step by step.

The Azure Dragon completely fell into a passive state.

Finally, when the fusion degree rose to seventy percent, the white light soared, overflowing the entire quiet room.

The Taiqing Dragon Gang wailed, collapsing and releasing a large amount of Gang Qi, letting the white ape pull and trample it under its feet.

The white ape won and roared at the sky, the sound waves surging like a sea tide.

Great Ape Riding a Dragon!

Liang Qu's mind sank, the Gang Qi behind him was orderly, and as it flowed, it converged into a brand-new Gang image.

Essence and Qi surged again, feeding back into the flesh!

Powerful!

Unprecedentedly powerful!

Two great True Gangs.

Done!

A true Wolf Smoke expert!

Once the feedback transformation was completely finished, beating Cheng Chong with one hand wouldn't be a problem!

However...

"Still have energy left?"

Liang Qu's eyes flickered.

True Gang was formed, and the mental and physical exhaustion he had envisioned didn't exist at all. Even because of digesting the Water Marsh Essence, the blood energy in his body was further increasing!

But condensing a third True Gang was unlikely; the difficulty of condensing True Gang increased exponentially.

Two True Gangs were already heaven-defying; a third was unrealistic.

Liang Qu observed the Great Ape Riding a Dragon Gang image, closed his eyes and pondered, and a bold idea emerged spontaneously.

At the same time.

【Ze Rong Ze Spirit Fusion 60%, Talent Skill Water Longitudinal Leap changed to Water Travel.】

【Ze Rong Ze Spirit Fusion 70%...】

【Ze Rong Ze Spirit Fusion 90%...】

Along with the complete fusion of Ze Rong.

The original evergreen-colored Ze Rong characters were completely changed to deep green, extremely profound.

【Completely fused Ze Rong, comprehended Talent Skill—Spirit Transformation】

【Ze Spirit Promotion Condition: Obtain 5 points of River Favor, completely fuse Ze Spirit Ze Rong (Green).】

Outside the Liang residence, pedestrians were busy.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, not casting another glance at the Liang residence.

The successive strange sounds inside didn't seem to attract anyone's attention.

In the hall, Li Li Shoufu had finished his lunch, skimmed off the tea foam, drank two sips to eliminate the greasiness in his mouth, and also silently measured the time in his heart, so as not to miss the rest time and cause gossip.

A cup of tea later.

Li Li Shoufu gradually became bored, silently staring at the black dog outside the threshold.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

A figure flashed past the window.

Liang Qu stepped over the threshold and entered the hall.

In an instant.

It was truly like a furnace tipping over!

Surging blood energy rolled, scorching wind rose from the ground, sweeping through the hall, spreading layer by layer.

This caused the temperature in the room to soar, and the biting spring chill was swept away!

Li Li Shoufu hurriedly stood up and bowed, shocked by the powerful aura that hadn't yet dissipated from Liang Qu: "Congratulations to Lord Liang for your martial arts advancement!"

"Sorry to keep Registrar Li waiting. I was just practicing, and I still can't completely restrain it. I don't know what the urgent matter is?"

Li Li Shoufu didn't dare to say more, took a booklet from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it over.

"Xiangyi County, originally called Blood Stone County, has sent an urgent report."

"Xiangyi County?"

Liang Qu's expression didn't change, and he took the booklet.

As a result, he didn't know until he looked.

Was the martial virtue of the families in Xiangyi County actually so abundant? ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
