Sword Technique Perfected, Expanding Power!

Soon after, Lu Ze returned to his bedroom, feeling an abundance of vital energy within him. His solar true energy was automatically circulating, absorbing the pure yang spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the pure yang blood and qi within his body, transforming it into solar true energy that flowed throughout his body, tempering his physique.

He just ate no less than thirty catties of the demon beast Crimson Flame Tiger meat, which greatly replenished his vital energy.

Zhao Yueling had also eaten about ten catties of Crimson Flame Tiger meat and had returned to her room to focus on cultivation.

Lu Ze's family didn't eat much, but they were still able to quickly improve their cultivation levels.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze checked the attribute panel and found that his proficiency in the Golden Body of the Sun (sixth level, 10%) had increased by 7%.

At this rate of efficiency, if one focuses on cultivation and has enough monster meat, it would only take three or four days for the Golden Body of the Sun to break through to the seventh level and elevate one's cultivation to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

It's so awesome to use cheat codes!

However, he plans to fuse the Golden Body of the Sun and the Blazing Sun Body Forging Technique, so for now he is mainly focusing on improving the latter. Once the solar energy is transformed into top-grade innate energy, that will be the time for fusion.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze consumed another 100 Source Points to strengthen a Tier 1 High-Grade Wisdom Stone, which he then consumed and began to comprehend the Azure Cloud Sword Intent within the Supreme Flying Sword Azure Cloud Sword.

An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes and checked his attribute panel. He had mastered the Azure Cloud Sword Technique (95% completion) and his Azure Cloud Sword Intent had reached 95% completion. He was only half a step away from perfecting his sword intent.

Without hesitation, Lu Ze consumed another 100 Source Points to enhance a Tier 1 High-Grade Wisdom Pill, then consumed it and began to comprehend the Azure Cloud Sword Intent.

Half an hour later, he finally comprehended the Azure Cloud Sword Intent to perfection, and the Azure Cloud Sword Technique was also perfected. He also mastered all kinds of sword techniques, including flying on a sword, flying sword in a hundred steps, sword light splitting, and flying sword transformation.

With the Azure Cloud Sword Technique at its perfect state, combined with the top-grade Azure Cloud Sword, it might not be invincible in the Qi Refining Realm, but in this small county town, it would definitely be a formidable opponent!

If I can raise my Qi Refining cultivation to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, I will be able to roam freely in Yunhe County!

Lu Ze initially intended to continue his cultivation, but after some thought, he realized it was time to develop his own power base.

Having power makes it easier to protect one's family.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze called Li Jinsong and Zhou Cheng and had them carry the carcass of a high-level ferocious beast, the Savage Bull, to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

Inside the Black Tiger Martial Arts Academy, the students were all astonished to see the enormous bull carcass, unaware that it was a ferocious beast.

Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Lu Ze ordered Li Jingsong and Zhou Cheng to put down the carcass of the bull.

The bull was recently killed and stored in the Qiankun Ring, so it's still very fresh.

At this moment, the third senior brother Zhou Hai, the fourth senior brother Wu Tao, the fifth senior brother Liu Meng, and the seventh senior brother Sun Li were all shocked when they saw the corpse of the high-level ferocious beast, the Savage Bull.

Lu Ze actually brought over a high-level ferocious beast, the Wild Bull. Was he going to give it to his master?

At this moment, Senior Brother Chen Xiong walked over, also looking surprised, and said, "Junior Brother Lu, is this a high-level ferocious beast, the Savage Bull?"

The strength of a high-level ferocious beast is at least equivalent to a Grand Martial Master in the Blood Exchange Realm. The meat of a high-level ferocious beast is very expensive. This high-level ferocious beast, the Wild Bull, weighs at least two thousand catties and is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It can be described as a grand deal!

Lu Ze glanced at his senior brother; his blood and qi strength had reached the level of the Great Perfection of Marrow Refinement, so it seemed that the meat from a top-tier ferocious beast was quite effective.

He nodded and said, "Senior Brother, consider this bull my way of giving back to Master and my fellow disciples. Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Zhuo, and the five senior brothers will each receive 100 jin of beast meat. Other formal disciples will each receive 10 jin of beast meat, and apprentices will each receive half a jin. The remaining thousand jin of beast meat will be offered to Master. I would appreciate it if you could help distribute it, Senior Brother."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiong clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Junior brother, rest assured, I will definitely make the arrangements properly!"

At this moment, he was truly convinced of Lu Ze's abilities. Last time, he gave him a hundred catties of top-grade ferocious beast meat, and this time he even presented the martial arts school with a whole high-grade ferocious beast, the Savage Bull. With such wealth and generosity, he could easily buy the entire martial arts school.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai, Wu Tao, Liu Meng, Sun Li, and other senior brothers all looked grateful and said:

"Junior Brother Lu, please don't hesitate to ask for anything in the future. I, Zhou Hai, will never refuse!"

"Junior Brother Lu, if you need anything from now on, just come to me, Wu Tao!"

"And there's me, Liu Meng!"

Even Sun Li, who came from a noble family but was born out of wedlock, looked grateful.

Lu Ze was giving too much; he gave each person 100 catties of high-grade ferocious beast meat, worth 500 taels of silver!

The Sun family was just an ordinary aristocratic family in the inner city. Their ancestor was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. As an unfavored illegitimate son, he naturally lacked cultivation resources.

500 taels of silver is Sun Li's monthly salary for a year!

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze smiled and said, "Since you senior brothers are so hospitable, I won't hide anything. I'm planning to establish a gang to control Qinghe Town. If any of you senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, or junior sisters are willing to come, you can contact Second Senior Sister!"

At this point, apart from the eldest disciple who wanted to inherit the martial arts school, all the other disciples expressed their willingness to join Lu Ze's gang.

Immediately, Lu Ze went to the backyard and found that Lin Muxue was cultivating the Nine Transformations of Thunder, and that she had also condensed a considerable amount of blood and qi power in her body. Obviously, she had broken through to the Refining Realm. It seems that the effects of the top-grade ferocious beast meat are indeed quite good.

Lin Muxue was delighted to see Lu Ze and smiled, "Junior brother, you've arrived. Let's spar!"

Lu Ze said, "There's no rush. Now that Senior Sister Lin has broken through to the Refining Realm, I will pass on to you an internal cultivation technique called the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which can assist in refining and accelerate your cultivation progress."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muxue was deeply moved. It turned out that Junior Brother Lu cared about her so much as well.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, junior brother!"

Then, Lu Ze taught Lin Muxue the basic techniques of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

A short while later, Lin Feihu came out of the bedroom, saw Lu Ze, and laughed heartily, "Ninth Brother, thank you for your top-grade ferocious beast meat! Your master has finally broken through to the Condensing Qi Realm!"

Lu Ze also sensed a considerable amount of internal energy within Lin Feihu's body, likely mid-grade internal energy, and clasped his hands in greeting, "Congratulations, Master!"

He then talked about giving gifts and preparing to form a gang.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feihu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give my full support. All martial arts school disciples are welcome to join!"

With over a thousand catties of high-grade ferocious beast meat, his body tempering cultivation will continue to improve rapidly. To have such a disciple is the greatest fortune of my life!

Not long after, Lu Ze returned home, took two high-grade essence pills, and began cultivating solar qi. At the same time, he used solar qi, solar true qi, and green wood spiritual power to temper his physical body alternately.

……

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

Lu Ze checked the attribute panel and saw that the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Technique (Primordial Perfection) had reached the tenth level of body tempering perfection, allowing him to break through to the Innate Realm!

Not long after, he ate and drank his fill and went to work as usual. When he patrolled at night, he would slack off at the stronghold tavern, take high-grade essence pills, cultivate the Golden Body of the Sun, and temper his body with the true energy of the sun.

As for breaking through to the Innate Realm using the Blazing Sun Body Forging Technique, that will have to wait until daytime.

At night, yin energy is dominant and yang energy is weak, so breakthroughs will only be less effective.

……

The night was deep, and the moon and stars were few.

Lu Ze was meditating with his eyes closed in the tavern.

A middle-aged general dressed in black armor and holding a lance was galloping towards them on a black warhorse.

Strangely, there was no sound of horses' hooves on the street.

Clearly, the black-armored general was a vengeful ghost.
