Ghost King Da took out several ancient manuals. He didn't want to say anything more to Li Ling. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist Li Ling's temptation and would really return to the martial arts world. He no longer had the energy for that.
Look at my own lame leg. My meridians were destroyed back then, and I can no longer practice. What can I do if I make a comeback? Am I just going to be ridiculed by others?
"Senior, farewell. I believe we will meet again."
Without saying a word, Li Ling put the last of his money on the table, then took the few ancient books and left the dilapidated house.
Looking back at the closed door, Li Ling couldn't help but sigh. If Ghost King Da were to sink into depravity and give up, he would only become a lump of mud next to a latrine.
He also wants to fulfill He Jinyin's wish and defeat Master Duan Shuiliu honorably, hoping that when he challenges Master Duan Shuiliu, he can help Ghost King Da regain his spirits.
Without further thought, Li Ling carried the several manuals and headed towards his residence. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a different character or title.)

Chapter 107 Internal Strength, Internal Strength!
Back in his house, Li Ling frowned as he looked at the small apartment, which was only about ten square meters. He never imagined that the small apartment he used to live in when he was a kung fu stuntman would be the same size as the one he was living in after transmigrating to a movie world.
Taking out his wallet, Li Ling made sure to bring all the savings He Jinyin had accumulated over the years when he went to buy the secret manual from Gui Wangda.
Li Ling spent nearly 20,000 yuan on the secret manual. He counted the remaining money and found he had 10,000 Hong Kong dollars left. Today is Friday, and there are horse races at the racecourse on Saturday. He'll go and try his luck tomorrow.
If anyone knew what Li Ling was thinking right now, they would definitely scoff: "Look at you, are you even speaking human language? Go win a round tomorrow! What's wrong with you winning a round?"
You have a system, you're awesome! You have a photographic memory and a history of horse racing, you're amazing! Handsome guy, please take me in!!
Mmm, it smells delicious!
"Don't worry about money yet, let's look at the manuals first." Li Ling cleared the table and placed the manuals one by one on it.
Iron Palm uses iron sand and medicinal materials as training aids. Through specific training methods, Iron Palm can be developed to the point that it can split bricks and crack stones over time.
Li Ling doesn't plan to practice this. Iron Palm, to put it bluntly, involves constantly damaging and repairing the palms to strengthen them. Successfully practicing Dragon Roar Iron Shirt makes the entire body invulnerable to blades and spears, including the palms.
Pass!
Li Ling turned to the next book, "The Golden Snake Entwining Silk Hand".
The Golden Snake Entwining Silk Hand technique, using internal energy in conjunction with specific training methods, can make the whole body supple and boneless, as flexible as a snake, allowing it to attack enemies from incredible angles.
This martial art requires internal energy to cultivate, so it cannot be practiced for the time being.
"The Shadowless Kick" is a technique where, once the first kick is delivered, the second follows closely, attacking the enemy without warning. Initial practice can improve leg flexibility, and with the development of internal strength, practice becomes twice as effective. Once mastered, the kick becomes so swift and unpredictable that the enemy is caught completely off guard.
"The Shadowless Kick can be practiced without internal energy, but to master it, it still requires the use of internal energy. It seems that the decline of ancient martial arts in modern times is inevitable," Li Ling murmured. "But I am an exception."
Li Ling turned his attention to the last book, 'Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt'.
"This room is too small; we can't fully utilize the Twelve Forms of the Dragon. Let's practice standing meditation first."
Li Ling took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
He Jinyin certainly couldn't have the same muscular physique as Li Ling. It was only after Li Ling's main consciousness awakened and the system unsealed his energy that his body returned to its original robust build.
Li Ling stood up in the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt stance, 'Rising Dragon Stance'. Following the key points of the technique, he mentally simulated the image of a real dragon. In today's information-rich society, Li Ling had naturally seen the form of a real dragon online, so imagining the image of a dragon in his mind was not difficult.
Imagine yourself becoming a real dragon, your spine becoming a dragon's spine, and your hands and feet becoming dragon's claws.
"Breathe in..."
"Breathe in..."
Imagining the breathing of a giant dragon in his mind, Li Ling's spine rose and fell at a specific frequency, accompanied by the breathing of a real dragon in his mind. His hands and feet seemed to transform into real dragon claws, thick and powerful.
What a wonderful feeling.
At this moment, Li Ling felt like a real dragon, soaring freely in the sky. Wherever the dragon passed, wind and clouds rose, and thunder and rain could fall at any moment.
Just as Li Ling was in this wondrous situation, the energy emanating from the world seed in his mind, along with the rise and fall of Li Ling's spine, slowly merged into Li Ling's body, strengthening his physical form once again.
Originally, since Li Ling reached his physical limit, although the world seed in his mind was constantly feeding back energy, because Li Ling did not know how to cultivate, his body could not actively absorb this energy. This energy could only passively ensure that Li Ling's body was in the best condition.
Now, as Li Ling begins to cultivate, his body automatically begins to absorb this energy, just like in ancient times when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, martial artists refined their essence into qi, which directly refined the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
As Li Ling's body absorbed more and more energy, wisps of black impurities gradually appeared in the pores of his body. This was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cleansing his marrow and tendons.
"Ugh, it smells awful."
When Li Ling regained consciousness from his wondrous state of cultivation, he was immediately hit by a stench that made him dizzy and lightheaded.
He quickly held his breath and focused his mind, only then realizing that his body was covered with a layer of black impurities, and the stench was emanating from these black impurities.
Li Ling hurriedly ran to open the door and windows, turned on the fan, grabbed her toiletries, and headed straight to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, he felt refreshed and invigorated. After expelling the impurities, Li Ling felt as if a hundred-pound burden had been lifted from his body, and he felt lighter than ever before.
Wearing his soaking wet pants, Li Ling realized he had forgotten to bring any clothes when he ran away, so he washed his pants and put them on to avoid being naked.
There's still a faint odor in the room, but it should dissipate soon with the fan blowing.
After changing out of his wet pants, Li Ling took a deep breath, surprised at how well his first time practicing standing meditation had worked.
"It must be because my body has been undergoing transformation by the world seed energy and has reached the limits of human beings. In addition, my first active cultivation and He Jinyin's combat awareness enabled me to quickly enter a cultivation state. These factors combined led to the state that was similar to an epiphany."
Of course, the constant release of energy from the World Seed during cultivation also provided me with a continuous source of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which facilitated this marrow cleansing process.
Li Ling summarized his cultivation progress.
