Chapter 932: A Void Dream (4800 bonus)

Time flows leisurely.

In the blink of an eye, another forty years of winters and summers have passed.

Aaron had long since faked his death to escape, and now he was hiding on Little Nanshan, having opened up a concealed Cave Abode to cultivate, occasionally observing the situation in Yukan Town.

Over these forty years, the outside world had truly undergone earth-shattering changes.

Twenty years ago, the imperial government collapsed, rebel armies rose everywhere, and one force even besieged Yuanjia City! Many rebel armies and soldier-bandits ransacked Yukan Town time and again; it was truly a scene of wailing everywhere, with white bones scattered about.

Whether it was the Fang Family or the Li Family, both lost many people during these successive military disturbances.

Aaron just watched quietly, not stepping in to help.

By now, they were struggling to make ends meet.

With just a light shout, the five viscera within his body shook, generating a strange strand of Gang Qi.

……

【Realm: Outer Gang】

……

"After cultivating for over a hundred years, I have finally broken through to Outer Gang!"

He felt as if his entire skeleton had become several ounces lighter, and within his dantian, the Hundred Poisons True Qi had also undergone a mysterious transformation, its quality greatly improved.

From now on, even if caught off guard by a sneak attack, as long as they could not break through this layer of Gang Qi, Aaron would remain safe and sound.

"So it is someone from the second branch, of the 'Bi' generation; it is a pity that all your brothers and clansmen were captured by those god-damned soldier-bandits."

"However, what does that have to do with me?"

Aaron let out a low shout: "Five Viscera and Six Bowels, all brought to Great Success; today is the time to enter the Outer Gang!"

Within the Taoism Mysterious Gate, there is the Great Five Elements Divine Gang, but that requires special techniques and secrets, which Aaron does not possess.

"Aunt, do not be too sorrowful; they are blessed by heaven and will surely turn danger into safety."

Therefore, although it was the Five Viscera and Five Elements Qi he had painstakingly refined, what condensed was still the Small Five Elements Profound Gang!

This Gang Qi permeated the five viscera and seeped into the surface of his body, forming a layer of imperceptible defense.

Now, as the years passed and countless generations had gone by, his sense of closeness to these two families had grown increasingly thin.

Aaron thought about it for a moment and understood the cause and effect.

"If it were an ordinary Five Viscera and Six Bowels Gu, the True Qi breakthrough would not be this significant... but I spent a hundred years of effort refining my own five viscera and six bowels, so the foundation is solid, and thus the quality of the True Qi has been elevated to the limit..."

At this moment, he was equivalent to having broken through by refining the Five Viscera and Six Bowels Gu, refining both types of Gang Qi in one go, which was of immense benefit!

【Technique: Myriad Gu Book Outer Gang Chapter (1/5000)】

Just then, Aaron's eyes suddenly moved, and he looked up.

These two Gu Insects, one pure white as jade and marked with skeletal patterns, were the 'Change Bone Gu' he had deduced the recipe for and refined himself!

The other, resembling a ladybug, was pitch black with a dim aura; it was the 'Breath Restraining Gu' Aaron had refined on a whim!

Over these decades, after countless failures, he had finally refined both of these Gu Insects.

If nothing else, having two layers of Gang Qi defense on his body naturally provided one more layer of protection than ordinary Outer Gang cultivators.

Banxian Hall.

【Age: 180】

【Name: Xin Chen (Fang Yu, Aaron)】

Most importantly, after these two Gu Insects were refined, they merged with Aaron's body as if they were his own flesh and limbs, allowing them to be treated as one by the Heaven Calculating Gu within Aaron's body for protection, while simultaneously gaining the effect of being Not Within Calculation.

Aaron observed himself and discovered that outside of the Small Five Elements Profound Gang, there was another strand of Gang Qi: the Six Ren Strange Gang!

This emerald-green Sword Light circled in mid-air, then descended into the Li Family residence, and subsequently departed with a few people.

Anyway, with the first branch in such a state, who else could stop him?

After finishing all this, he changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes, carried a bundle on his back, left the Cave Abode, and arrived at Yukan Town.

At this time, his attribute panel had also undergone a change:

At this moment, with a thought, he took two Gu Insects from his sleeve.

Aaron walked in, peering around, and asked: "Is this the Banxian Hall of the Fang Family?"

As for the 'Breath Restraining Gu', besides concealing one's cultivation, its most important function was to tamper with one's aura, which was quite effective for masking one's identity.

This time in meditation, he did not know how much time had passed.

An old woman walked out, her face withered: "Young man, who are you?"

It was now long since dilapidated; when a group of rebel soldiers passed through, they had looted the doctors and medicinal herbs, not even sparing the young apprentices who knew a little Medicine, leaving only some old, weak, sick, and disabled people struggling to hold on.

Suddenly, the sound of tearing silk came from the horizon, followed by a streak of emerald-green Sword Light.

He had come now, naturally, to represent the second branch in buying up the assets and becoming the legitimate successor of Banxian Hall once again.

This made the possibility of his flaws being detected even smaller.

Aaron was spirited, but after the excitement, he felt just so-so, only secretly deciding to go to a flower house to celebrate properly.

In Aaron's view, the people of the Fang and Li families were no different from the other townspeople.

First was the Qi of the five viscera, forming five colors with the wonder of the Five Elements generating each other, followed by the Qi of the six bowels, also flowing with light, circle after circle, until finally, the Qi of the Bladder was also refined to Great Success!

"I am from the second branch of Little Nanshan, my name is Fang Bida!"

Truly, forty years east of the river, forty years west of the river...

Aaron continued to sit cross-legged, cultivating the final stage of the six bowels: the Qi of the Bladder.

"No, there is one more!"

However, this matter was not urgent.

"Since ancient times, only great chaos leads to great order; now that the world has been in chaos for twenty years... the chaotic era should be coming to an end, and a new dynasty should be rising, right?"

Among them, the 'Change Bone Gu' conceals Bone Age and can also incidentally modify height and facial bone structure, equivalent to a Disguise that is like growing up all over again, and it is completely traceless.

Aaron exchanged a few more pleasantries, exited Banxian Hall, and walked through the dilapidated town, slowly approaching the Li Family.

He had long since cultivated the Condensing Evil Realm to its peak, and having now refined his internal organs, he had laid an extremely solid foundation; breaking through was merely a matter of course.

Aaron just watched quietly, even smiling as he comforted them: "Eat slowly, don't choke..."

Furthermore, Aaron's joints popped and cracked, and an unknown amount of foul-smelling sludge mixed with butter-like sweat seeped out from every pore of his body—it was remarkably Bone Cleansing and Marrow Washing!

Heaven and Earth are benevolent, treating all things as equal.

【Talent: Changsheng, Not Within Calculation】

Aaron touched his head and answered honestly.

Suddenly, Aaron opened his eyes, and one after another, the Qi of his internal organs emerged from within his body.

This Gang Qi had five-colored Light flowing through it and was extremely profound; it was the Small Five Elements Profound Gang!

Upon hearing this, the old woman wailed loudly: "By seniority, I am still your aunt!"

If it were not for the impending tragedy of total annihilation, he would not have been prepared to intervene, possessing a mindset of "Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs."

Aaron refined the Change Bone Gu, and the bones of his face immediately writhed, changing slightly to become that of a handsome young man, while the aura on his body also plummeted from the Outer Gang level, turning him into an ordinary mortal.

The Li Family had been robbed several times and had long since fallen into ruin, with only a few people left struggling to hold on in the ancestral home.

According to Aaron's understanding of the Hundred Yang Illustrated Record and his comparison with the Dry Yang True Qi, it should have reached the Seventh Rank, and a top-tier Seventh Rank at that!

One by one, they immediately took them and began to wolf down the food.

Aaron saw several little heads poking out from behind the old woman and hurriedly opened his pack, took out some dry rations, and handed them to the little ones.

At this moment, he moved his Dharma Power, first summoning some clear water to wash up properly, and then refined two Gu Insects.

He pinched his fingers to calculate, then suddenly cursed in his heart: "Li Rubi, you ancestor-damning bastard... so you really did enter the Side Door, and now that you've become a Side Door Sword Immortal, you've moved all your family away and run off?"

Although this was a good way to prevent the Bat Duke from continuing his vendetta, Aaron's schemes had all come to nothing!
