After much pondering and meditation, he finally came up with a reliable theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be because I don't know how to control the Qi-Blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically speaking, to reach the level of a Martial Artist, one would need a corresponding Cultivation Technique, which naturally includes a method to control the Qi-Blood, avoiding such problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Sheng had taken a shortcut, using the progress bar's assistance to practice the \"Eight Pieces of Brocade\" and reached the level of a Martial Artist; naturally, he couldn't control the Qi-Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inner Core Skill's Hundred Days Foundation Building Method seemed to possess the ability of internal viewing, which is \"Inner Vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this process is complicated, and in his past life, Wang Sheng only wanted to focus on health preservation, not cultivation, so he did not delve deeply into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in his recent practice, he seemed to have naturally reached the realm of Inner Vision and thus saw his own Qi-Blood Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, it might not necessarily have been the rebellion of the Qi-Blood Power just now; it's also possible that my spirit was too weak and was startled by the Qi-Blood Power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chinese legends, spirits find it difficult to approach those with strong Qi-Blood and might even be directly annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng felt that he most likely achieved Inner Vision by utilizing his own spiritual power, and hence was startled by the Qi-Blood Power. To resolve such a situation, he had to find a way to control his Qi-Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like I'll need to spend more time grinding again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, Wang Sheng only practiced Inner Core Skill for a short period of time. He didn't persist as he did with the \"Eight Pieces of Brocade\" for over ten years, so his level was very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inner Core Skill (Hundred Days Foundation Building): 3 (68%)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current level of his Inner Core Skill was only level 3, far from a Breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a Breakthrough, it would just be an unremarkable health preservation method, only by breaking through could it unleash amazing potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Wang Sheng was no longer in such a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already become a bona fide Martial Artist; even if he currently lacked martial techniques and couldn't control his Qi-Blood, he was still a bona fide Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had the initial power and wasn't at the mercy of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Family most likely wouldn't resort to using a Martial Artist to force him into a brothel for the same reason as before; the cost and the benefit did not match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chrysanthemums needed for delivery were almost ready, so there wasn't too much to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Wang Sheng would slowly continue with the progress of his Inner Core Skill. Of course, if he could control his Qi-Blood before the Sun Family's people came to collect the delivery, that would be even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's still half a jar of Tiger Bone Ointment left; I can continue to enhance my Qi-Blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Foundation Establishment in Inner Core Skill, one needs to extract significant medicines from the human body to enhance one's realm, so the enhancement of Qi-Blood cannot be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's still half a month left, let's see what level I can achieve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the following half month, he entirely devoted himself to practicing and improving the \"Inner Core Skill\" and \"Eight Pieces of Brocade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 24 hours in a day, he used eight hours for sleep—health preservers never skip sleep, even for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining 16 hours included one to two hours for settling meals. With the Tiger Bone Ointment, most of his body's needs could be met, but a health preserver cannot ignore nutritional balance, even if other aspects can be overlooked, diet could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more hours went into planting chrysanthemums, fulfilling the supply demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still had a full 12 hours left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had ample time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there wasn't much of the Tiger Bone Ointment left, he practiced Inner Core Skill for eight hours, and Eight Pieces of Brocade for four hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng was a highly disciplined person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether it got boring, not only did it not, every time he felt his Qi-Blood strengthen and the progress bar advance, he felt fully motivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can clearly see progress, yielding remarkable gains; such achievements are addictive and never tiresome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If left to do assembly line work and then earn a monthly salary of 3000, anyone would grow weary unless pushed by life's necessities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within such days, more than ten days passed, and Wang Sheng made significant advancements in his three martial arts techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight Section Brocade: Breakthrough +2 (6%)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inner Core Skill (Hundred Days Foundation Building Method): 9 (86%)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chrysanthemum Planting: Breakthrough +1 (96%)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Inner Core Skill improved the most; in just over ten days, it advanced directly from level 3 to level 9 but, aside from the first time, it never displayed that initial introspection again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it simply represented a basic method of health preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what did level 9 signify?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a progress bar, Wang Sheng had spent over a decade and still hadn't reached 99.99% of level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was thus very healthy, significantly stronger than his peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what about level 9 of Inner Core Skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It certainly had significant benefits. The Inner Core Skill provided health benefits that incorporated many traditional Chinese medical theories to tune one's body to an optimal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Inner Core Skill's state without breaking through the ultimate limit to achieve miraculous effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had become a Martial Artist, he felt his body was noticeably stronger and more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still lacked the method to control his Qi-Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With 14% progress left, let's see if today brings success in achieving a breakthrough.

Then, harnessing his Qi Blood Power, he tried to lift the grindstone with one arm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was much easier.
