Internal Strength Enhancement, Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Lu Ze stared at the Black Tiger Heart Sutra, where a "+" appeared, indicating that it would require at least 10 Source Points to strengthen.

"Please select the current enhancement direction: 1. Extreme Yang, enhancement will grant Nine Yang Divine Skill. 2. Extreme Yin, enhancement will grant Taiyin True Scripture (Nine Yin True Scripture internal power enhancement version). 3. Horizontal Training, enhancement will grant Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. 4. Extreme Speed, enhancement will grant Sunflower Manual (complete version)."

Of the four areas for enhancement, only the Taiyin True Scripture is unfamiliar to me; the other three are well-known divine skills.

Both the extreme yang and extreme speed characteristics are what Lu Ze wants most.

But the Sunflower Manual requires sacrificing one's genitals, which no normal man would choose.

While the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is quite good and has extremely strong defensive capabilities, the Nine Yang Divine Skill also possesses internal energy to protect the body, so its defensive capabilities are not much different.

More importantly, the Nine Yang Divine Skill can be mastered extremely quickly!

Moreover, only the purest Yang internal energy can pose a threat to the strange.

As for the extreme speed characteristic, it can be obtained by enhancing one's lightness skill.

Therefore, Lu Ze chose the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Immediately, the 10 source points disappeared, and the mental cultivation information of the Nine Yang Divine Skill appeared in Lu Ze's mind.

However, this Nine Yang Divine Skill is slightly different from the martial arts skills in my previous life. It is not divided into four volumes, but into seven levels. The first three levels connect the twelve regular meridians, and the fourth to seventh levels connect the eight extraordinary meridians.

The seventh level is the opening of the Ren and Du meridians, and the opening of all meridians. It is equivalent to the mastery of the original Nine Yang Divine Skill, which is the seventh level of the Acquired Realm in this world!

The Nine Yang Divine Skill also inherits the characteristics of the original, such as having miraculous effects like detoxification, healing, and body protection. Moreover, once the Nine Yang Divine Skill breaks through to the seventh level, the internal energy will be inexhaustible, and most acquired martial arts techniques will be readily available.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Ze's face. This was much more cost-effective than strengthening ten pounds of high-grade ferocious beast meat!

At this moment, Xu Wei suddenly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Lu, thank you so much for saving my life before! From today onwards, you are Xu Wei's elder brother. If you have any requests, just say so, and I will never refuse!"

"Okay, then you keep watch for me!"

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, transforming the internal energy of his Black Tiger Heart Method into Nine Yang Internal Energy.

Internal energy cultivation does not necessarily require meditation.

At the same time, Zhao Beichen, the commander of the Demon Suppression Guard, returned to the Xu family, and a group of Demon Suppression Guards followed him to collect the corpses of the Wusheng Sect demons.

As for the fine weapons and talismans that fell down, which were picked up by the Xu family's guards, the Demon Suppression Guards did not make a fuss about it.

Immediately, Xu Wencai, the wealthy man, clasped his hands in thanks to Zhao Beichen and said, "I am deeply grateful to Commander Zhao for saving my life this time. I will prepare a small gift and send it to your esteemed residence tomorrow. I hope you will not refuse it, Lord Zhao!"

Zhao Beichen said, "Master Xu, you are too kind. When I saw the distress signal fire, I was prepared to come and help as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the demons of the Wusheng Sect had planned ahead and destroyed the talismans inside the doors of more than ten houses, which attracted many wandering ghosts and caused many attacks by strange creatures. Our Demon Suppression Guard was also unable to get away."

Xu Wencai said, "I understand. The Wusheng Sect's demons are always cunning and ruthless, making them impossible to guard against. Commander Zhao has already done his best!"

Not long after, Zhao Beichen left with the corpses of the Demon Suppressing Guards and the Wusheng Sect demons.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze was practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill with his eyes closed by the courtyard wall.

Suddenly, the patriarch Xu Wencai and the guard commander Fan Zhao walked over with several guards.

Xu Wei clasped his hands in greeting and said loudly, "Greetings, Patriarch and Commander Fan!"

Lu Ze also suddenly opened his eyes, turned to the side, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Patriarch and Commander Fan!"

Xu Wencai noticed that Lu Ze had been slacking off, but didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you guarded your patrol area tonight and killed four Wusheng Sect demons. You deserve a reward! The reward this time is 5 taels of silver for beheading a Wusheng Sect demon at the Great Perfection of Muscle Refinement. So, your reward is 20 taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze was secretly delighted and said, "Thank you for the reward, Patriarch!"

With such a generous reward, Old Xu is a good guy to be around!

Of course, Xu Wencai had his reasons for setting such a generous reward. With nearly half of the Xu family's guards killed or wounded, morale was high, making it difficult to recruit more guards in the future.

After all, who would be willing to die for less than two taels of silver a month?

Therefore, he not only increases the rewards for kills, but also doubles the compensation to win people's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, a guard handed twenty taels of silver to Lu Ze, and Xu Wencai then left with his men.

At this moment, Commander Fan Zhao walked over, patted Lu Ze on the shoulder, and said, "Lu Ze, do a good job, the patriarch will not treat you unfairly!"

Lu Ze said, "Thank you for your high regard, Commander Fan!"

Immediately afterwards, Fan Zhao also left.

At this moment, Xu Wei looked at Lu Ze and smiled, "Brother Lu, with the patriarch and Commander Fan both thinking so highly of you, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

Lu Ze smiled and didn't mind. He guessed that Xu Wencai and Fan Zhao were being so polite to him because of the owner, Lin Feihu.

After all, he is now Lin Feihu's personal disciple!

If he didn't have this identity, he would have been scolded for slacking off in cultivation just now, and he probably wouldn't have gotten those 20 taels of silver.

Immediately afterward, Lu Ze began practicing the Thunderclap Steps.

Half an hour later, two more people came to relieve them.

Lu Ze and Xu Wei then went back to rest.

This time, however, Lu Ze did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged and practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill instead of sleeping.

Just like the Quanzhen internal energy cultivation technique and Yue Buqun's Huashan mental cultivation method, both can be practiced while sleeping.

Lu Ze's enhanced Nine Yang Divine Skill also has this effect!

The next morning, as the rooster crowed, Lu Ze suddenly opened his eyes and checked his attribute panel: Nine Yang Divine Skill (Level 1, 10%).

After two hours of cultivation, 40% of the Black Tiger Heart Sutra's internal energy had been completely transformed into Nine Yang Internal Energy, but the proficiency was only 10%. Obviously, Nine Yang Internal Energy was many times more refined.

He then changed his clothes and left with two steel knives, handing the other two over to Xu Wei.

Not long after, Lu Ze went to Butcher Li's house to slaughter a pig, harvested 1 source point, and bought five catties of pork.

He now has 20 taels of silver on him, so he no longer needs to be stingy.

However, this time, Lu Ze did not enhance the pork into beast meat, but instead planned to save up source points to enhance his pills.

He couldn't afford pills before, but now that he has money, he can try to buy them.

Shortly after, Lu Ze returned home.

Seeing so much meat, Lu Xuan, the younger sister, beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Second brother, have you struck it rich?"

Lu Ze laughed and said, "Pretty much. Last night, Master Xu's house was robbed. I killed a few and earned a reward of silver! By the way, don't tell anyone about this, or you'll get into trouble."

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Xuan nodded vigorously, saying that she wasn't stupid.

Lu Cheng and Liu Yumei were pleased to hear this, but they didn't ask Lu Ze how much he had earned. Instead, they smiled and said, "The rice is cooked. You rest for a bit, and your father and I will go and cook the meat."

Not long after, Lu Ze ate and drank his fill, then lay down to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill, managing to cultivate and sleep at the same time!
