The so-called path of body refinement is actually the mainstream path for martial arts generals in the main world. From the first level of skin refinement all the way to the sixth level of internal organ refinement, it can be described as a truly heaven-reaching path.
The principle is that as long as there are resources, a breakthrough is almost guaranteed. It's just that a lot of resources are needed.
Just like Lin Yang, who absorbed the life essence of hundreds of death row inmates in the Tang Dynasty world, converting them all into resources, which allowed him to directly push his Skin Refining technique to the perfect stage. Keep in mind, that involved several hundred people. Although, most of them were ordinary people.
If someone were to observe closely, they would notice that Lin Yang's skin was incredibly fair and delicate, even more beautiful than that of a young girl. In fact, it was somewhat like that of a newborn infant.
Apart from that, there's not a trace of aging. There are no scars either, it looks like it was just born. In fact, this is the wonder of skin training. This appearance is also a symbol of the completion of skin training.
"Phew, it's been a month, no, to be precise, it's been more than two months. After all, I spent a month in the Tang Dynasty. In just two months, I've already reached the peak of skin refining, which is equivalent to ten years of hard training for an ordinary person. This is the domineering nature of the Reincarnation Land." Lin Yang looked at his perfect skin and said with a smile.
Drink up!
With a loud shout, Lin Yang's clothes instantly became completely clean, leaving him naked. His entire body, with over two hundred muscles, bulged and swelled in an instant.
At this moment, Lin Yang was eight feet tall, having inexplicably grown a full foot taller. Even the color of his skin had suddenly turned bronze. This was actually the result of absorbing a great deal of the murderous aura from the battlefield.
At the same time, Lin Yang continuously absorbed the spiritual energy within the secluded cultivation chamber. Then, a buzzing sound emanated from Lin Yang's muscles.
This is the rhythm of the imminent generation of罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy). And the generation of罡气 is actually the sign of entering the second stage.
A military general only becomes truly formidable once he possesses "罡气" (gāngqì). Moreover, unlike a martial artist's internal energy, "罡气" is incomparably domineering. Both its explosive power and overall strength far surpass those of internal energy.
At the same time, Lin Yang took out a pill and swallowed it directly. After all, the spiritual energy required for a breakthrough was far too great, and absorbing it slowly would take too long. Therefore, to speed up the breakthrough and shorten the time, it was better to take the pill directly.
With the constant inhalation of drugs, the buzzing sound had turned into a deafening roar. Even from a distance of several dozen feet from Lin Yang, it could be heard clearly.
bump
There was no explosion, but rather the direct generation of protective energy. This sound was the initial cry of this protective energy.
"Not bad, not bad, this power is quite good. Now, I am at the peak of the second level of the Literary Dao, the late stage of the first level of the Martial Dao, and the early stage of the second level of the Body Refinement Dao. Not too much, not too little, I can be considered a minor expert in the early stages. More importantly, I can adapt regardless of whether there is spiritual energy or not, so I finally have some survival ability."
...
It was the same tent again. A flash of light appeared, and two people emerged from the solitary tent once more: Lin Yang and Su Qing'er. If there was any difference compared to the beginning, it was time.
When the two left, the moon was high in the sky. But now, with just a glance, Lin Yang knew that almost two hours had passed. In a little while, the morning star would appear in the east.
"Wow, that was close, young master. I almost didn't make it back this time. My arm was broken, but luckily the Reincarnation Land is extraordinary. After using my authority, a beam of light healed me. Otherwise, I would have really lost out this time," Su Qing'er said with lingering fear.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you to be careful? Didn't I say I'd help you solve any problems? How could you be so careless?" Lin Yang said worriedly.
"Hehe, isn't this all for the purpose of completing the mission better? This time, I entered a very peculiar world, a world where spiritual energy is extremely thin. The various mechanical creations are quite ingenious."
"Then, I helped a man named Uncle Nine suppress many zombies. Afterwards, seeing that I had great aptitude, he taught me authentic Maoshan Taoist techniques. Later, I even created a third-tier zombie. It was because of this zombie that I was injured." After saying this, Su Qing'er summoned a coffin as if presenting a treasure.
A seal was affixed to the coffin. In fact, it was a Taoist talisman, still containing a trace of magical power, and had a certain sealing effect.
With a sweep of his Divine Eye of Fortune, Lin Yang discovered a faint yellow aura emanating from the inside of the coffin. This indicated that the zombie's strength was roughly at the early or mid-stage of the third tier. However, considering the zombie's corpse poison and its unique characteristics, its combat power was likely even greater.
"Huh, Qing'er's luck has changed from pure white to deep red. I remember when the last cycle ended, it was only a faint red. This progress is really huge. To be able to obtain a third-tier zombie in Uncle Nine's zombie series, I don't even want to say anything about her luck and strength."
"In comparison, if I hadn't been familiar with history, successfully quelled the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and gained a series of destinies, I really wouldn't be able to compare to her," Lin Yang muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Young Master, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It seems that you not only learned authentic Maoshan Taoist techniques this time, but also made a breakthrough in your internal strength."
"Yes, I'm now a second-tier innate master. I didn't really feel it in that world, but now, I feel like I can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with a wave of my hand. The same move is at least ten times more powerful," Su Qing'er said happily.
What could Lin Yang say about this? He had taught Su Qing'er the Longevity Technique, yet she had already surpassed him. He could only conclude that she truly lived up to her fifth-tier destiny; given enough luck and resources, she could break through immediately.
Unlike myself, who is currently at the second-tier destiny level and has a strong literary cultivation, I'm stuck here. If I want to break through to the third tier, I'll have to change my destiny level in advance.
However, I now possess a portion of the destiny of a true dragon and a trace of dragon energy. If used properly, breaking through to the third or even fourth tier of destiny would be within my grasp.
"Young Master, Da Huang told me that there are quite a few wolves nearby, moving towards us. Judging from their path, they're probably heading for us," Su Qing'er suddenly said.
"Hmm, Big Yellow?"
"Oh, Big Yellow is this zombie."
Hearing this, Lin Yang nodded. After all, zombies have a very strong sense of sensing living beings, much stronger than ordinary people.
"Hu Feng, Hu Feng, quickly and quietly wake everyone up. Make sure you move very quietly. Then, have everyone put on their armor, grab their crossbows, and prepare for battle," Lin Yang whispered.
Then, Lin Yang went directly outside the tent and began to observe carefully. He was truly shocked by what he saw. Everywhere he looked, there were wild wolves.
These wolves had remarkably shiny fur. This was strange, as the fur of most wolf packs, due to irregular eating habits, is usually quite rough. It's unlikely they would have such glossy fur.
"Hiss, just how many wolves are there? In the Divine Eye of Luck, a single wolf is just a wisp of black mist. But within my field of vision, almost everything is black mist. Let me count them."
One
Both ends
Ten heads
Fifty heads
"A total of seventy-eight wolves, and the alpha wolf seems to have become a spirit, looking very powerful," Lin Yang said.
However, glancing at his own team, he saw ten other skilled fighters besides himself and Su Qing'er. All of them appeared to be at the peak of the first tier, and were wearing armor. It seemed that dealing with these wolves shouldn't be a problem.
"Use rockets, get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, under Hu Feng's command, everyone began a volley of fire. It was pitch black, and even though everyone had excellent eyesight, it was still somewhat impaired.
