Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 179 Golden Sun Body Tempering
The Heavenly Sword, propelled by the Dragon's Roar, vibrated at high speed. Amidst the high-temperature vibrations transformed from the Vermilion Bird's Divine Fire, it exploded into a blazing inferno, engulfing Gao Wu and Wang Tianyin.

The Destiny Sword, which was held by Wang Tianyin, seemed to come alive, constantly undulating and vibrating, like a long dragon trying to break free of its restraints.

No matter how the Heavenly Fate Sword changed, it could never escape Wang Tianyin's two fingers.

Gao Wu found it unbelievable. The Heavenly Destiny Sword was his natal sword, and with it in hand, his swordsmanship could be elevated to a higher level.

He also added two divine incantations, doubling the level of his source power. Except for not activating his Yin Spirit, he had already exhausted almost all his strength.

A martial arts grandmaster this strong? This completely contradicts his understanding of Lu Yuan's power.

"Is this your limit?" Wang Tianyin asked from the rising flames. His voice was calm and deep, without any emotion, as if he was just confirming with Gao Wu.

Gao Wu was holding his breath, but he was indeed close to his limit.

Wang Tianyin didn't mind Gao Wu's silence. He said, "In terms of warrior level, it is indeed very good. The instantaneous burst of source power is very strong, and the changes in flames are also very lethal."

He praised her briefly, then changed the subject: "But your cultivation is still not pure. Flames are flames, swords are swords, and divine will is divine will."

Wang Tianyin is actually a bit strange. His martial arts swordsmanship is superb and agile. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he and his sword are one.

In terms of swordsmanship, he was no less skilled than a martial artist who specialized in swordsmanship. However, for some reason, his martial spirit failed to integrate with the sword.

Simply put, someone of his skill level should have already condensed sword intent long ago.

In modern terms, sword intent is the special mental state most suitable for wielding a sword. It allows one to deeply resonate with the sword, source power, and body, and even materialize the mental power through the sword.

The essence and the martial arts spirit are the same; it is that the martial artist has found the martial arts spirit state that best suits him.

It is precisely because of this mental state that it can extend from the inside out to the level of the body and the sword.

Gao Wu is now the opposite; his body and sword are integrated exceptionally well, but he has not condensed true sword intent on a spiritual level, which is very contrary to common sense!
Wang Tianyin was able to perceive the subtle problems in advanced sword techniques precisely because he was a martial arts grandmaster. A martial arts master would not have been able to see these problems.

Even if Lu Yuan were here, it would be difficult to discover Gao Wu's problem unless he personally fought Gao Wu and forced him to use his full strength.

"Having witnessed your swordsmanship, I have a Golden Yang Qi technique I would like to ask you to teach me."

As Wang Tianyin spoke, he unleashed his source power, which, under his divine will, transformed into a blazing golden flame that enveloped both the Heavenly Fate Sword and Gao Wu.

The term "罡炁" is merely a description of the state of transformation of source energy. When condensed into a sharp edge, it becomes sword energy; when gathered and dispersed like the wind, it becomes 罡炁.

Enveloped in golden flames, Gao Wu felt as if he had fallen into a steel furnace. The high temperature penetrated his bones and internal organs through his pores, and his whole body seemed to be burning inside and out.

He could even hear a gurgling sound in his head, as if his brain was being boiled into a soupy mess...

Of course, this was just his illusion. Although the golden flames were intense, they were not so domineering as to burn him to a crisp.

Or rather, Wang Tianyin did not control it very precisely. The Golden Yang Qi penetrated Gao Wu's limbs, bones, and internal organs, but it only suppressed him and did not cause any substantial damage to his body.

Gao Wu didn't know what Wang Tianyin meant, so he could only fight back with all his might. Under his frantic stimulation, the three acupoints barely managed to absorb and release source power. He used the changes of Dragon Roar Nine Heavens to stimulate the source power vibration, trying to expel all external source power.

The two sides used Gao Wu's body as the battlefield for their source energy, engaging in a back-and-forth battle. After three minutes, Gao Wu finally exhausted the last bit of source energy. Although he still had two Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curses between his eyebrows, he did not activate them.

It wasn't a battle; Wang Tianyin was just using his source energy to refine his source energy and body. Once he reached his limit, his opponent would naturally stop.

Sure enough, sensing Gao Wu's extreme state, the blazing golden flames silently dissipated.

Gao Wu could no longer hold the heavy Destiny Sword; he had to hold onto it to maintain his standing posture.

Seeing Gao Wu swaying but not falling, Wang Tianyin's eyes flashed with approval. Gao Wu was only able to stay upright by sheer willpower.

The younger generation grew up in a wealthy and stable environment, so their determination and perseverance have not been tested and are all superficial.

The greatest suffering they've endured is nothing more than heartbreak, hurt self-esteem, or physical pain.

These pains are all too simple, too ordinary, and too short-lived.

Wang Tianyin always felt that the younger generation were like flowers, having never experienced real hardships or cruelty.

Such young people also have advantages, namely, they are full of confidence and fearlessness. Gao Wu, in particular, appears flamboyant.

By doing this, Wang Tianyin was also giving Gao Wu a small lesson, letting him know that there is no end to martial arts, and that although he is considered a genius, he is still far from perfect.

The intense heat of the Golden Yang Qi penetrating the body causes a scorching pain that is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people. The key is that the Golden Yang Qi penetrates into the limbs, bones, internal organs, and other organs of a high-level martial artist, causing every nerve to endure excruciating pain and transmitting that pain to the brain.

Gao Wu held on for three minutes without uttering a sound; he's a true man!
Wang Tianyin's opinion of Gao Wu changed somewhat. Although the kid was arrogant, he was quite tough, which was good.

He tossed Gao Wu a bottle of premium ginseng oral liquid: "I'll be back in two hours."

As Wang Tianyin turned to leave, the Heavenly Fate Sword clattered to the ground, and Gao Wu, without support, slowly fell forward.

Fortunately, he had already silently recited the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation, and a blue light flowed deep within his eyes, restoring some of the power he had lost. It wasn't enough to fight, but it allowed him to easily stand up straight.

With a wave of his hand, Gao Wu's Heavenly Destiny Sword on the ground returned to its sheath at his waist in a flash.

Wang Tianyin naturally sensed the changes behind him. He had to admit that returning the sword to its sheath was quite cool, but this couldn't hide the fact that Gao Wu's strength was completely exhausted.

After Wang Tianyin left, Gao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down. He grimaced and clenched his fists, trying his best not to make a sound.

"It really hurts!" Gao Wu had suffered a lot along the way. It was like being pierced through the heart by Shi Tieyu's sword. How could it not hurt? But at that time, the battle was intense, he was in an extremely excited state, and Xiao Song was by his side, so he was able to endure it.

He was intensely burned by the Golden Yang Qi for several minutes today, and he felt as if he had entered a steel furnace, being refined by the fierce fire from the inside out.

Such extreme exploitation almost turned his powerful body into trash.

All I can say is that Wang Tianyin's training method is fucking awesome, this time it was so exhilarating I felt like I was ascending to heaven!

After adjusting himself for a while, Gao Wu picked up the bottle of ginseng oral liquid and drank it all in one gulp. Drinking high-energy oral liquid in an extremely weak state is like drinking iced cola when you are thirsty and hot. It may not be very effective at quenching thirst, but it is really refreshing.

It's not just a simple feeling of comfort; it's that every parched cell is frantically absorbing energy.

The premium Vajra Elixir he had previously injected had already penetrated deep into his cells. Under the stimulation of the Golden Yang Qi, the energy from the Vajra Elixir, which had been mostly digested yesterday, further fused with his cells.

Gao Wu could also vaguely sense the changes in the drug at the cellular level. This tempering fully released the effects of the Vajra Elixir, and even enhanced its efficacy.

"Could it be a coincidence?" Gao Wuzhuan dismissed the idea. Wang Tianyin was a martial arts master, and his special training for him must have been planned. It was impossible for him to suddenly come up with such a thing.

Those who knew him thought it was special training, but those who didn't might have thought it was torture.

So, Grandmaster Wang knew that he had taken the Vajra Elixir, and specially used his source power to help him refine the medicinal power deep into his internal organs.
The Grandmaster is truly thoughtful!

Gao Wu was somewhat moved, but also felt that this method was a bit too direct and cruel. It would have been better if Wang Tianyin had given him a heads-up beforehand.

At least he wouldn't curse Wang Tianyin in his heart...

Two hours later, Wang Tianyin arrived on time again, and did the same thing as before, using the high-level martial arts provided by Jin Yang Gang Qi to perform a full-body ancient fire massage.

This four-times-a-day traditional massage completed Wang Tianyin's training session. He also added two bottles of premium ginseng oral liquid to his routine.

Gao Wu, who hadn't eaten all day, didn't go back to his residence but went straight to the Azure Dragon Laboratory.

At his insistence, the lab injected him with a potent antidote that night. By the time he returned to Building 18, it was already midnight.

The living room was dimly lit, and as soon as Gao Wu entered, he saw Song Mingyue's bright eyes.

"I'm going to get my Vajra Potion injected. Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Why do you miss me so much after just one day?" Gao Wu felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Xiao Song, but he just grinned and acted all serious.

Song Mingyue nodded slightly: "I just wanted to see you."

She stood up and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "Goodnight."

"Good night."

Gao Wu watched Xiao Song return to her bedroom. Although they only exchanged two words, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart!
He thought to himself, "Don't let Xiao Song's cold and aloof demeanor fool you; deep down, she's a lovely and sweet friend..."

Back in his room, Gao Wu's body was still very excited from the medicine, so he continued to cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon until the effects of the medicine were almost fully absorbed before going to bed to rest.

The next morning at nine o'clock, Gao Wu arrived at Canglong Tower on time again.

Wang Tianyin didn't say anything, and directly took Gao Wu to the training ground, repeating yesterday's procedure.

After a day of tempering with the Golden Yang Qi, Gao Wu was certain that the medicinal power of the Special Grade Vajra Elixir had been stimulated again, deeply merging with the bones, internal organs, muscles and tendons. The effect of the elixir, induced in this way, should at least double.

This was Gao Wu's first time using the premium Vajra Elixir, so he couldn't compare it to others. He could only rely on his perception of his body's condition to roughly determine that this tempering was very effective.

The Golden Yang Qi is like a steel furnace, constantly refining him from the inside out, fully activating the effects of the Vajra Elixir, and truly integrating the effects of the medicine with his body through the Golden Yang Qi.

Seven days later, Gao Wu felt that the increase in strength was secondary; the real increase was in physical strength, which had truly become as solid as diamond.

In order to fully exert the effects of the medicine, Gao Wu shamelessly asked Wang Tianyin for three more days of guidance. The grandmaster did not speak, but simply nodded.

Over the course of ten days, Grandmaster Wang Tianyin didn't teach Gao Wu anything. He simply used the Golden Yang Qi to temper his body inside and out, and combined with the effects of the Vajra Elixir, he helped him forge an extremely resilient and powerful physical body...

Gao Wu was very grateful for this. Using the Golden Yang Qi to temper the body is a very complex and subtle process. If it is too weak, it will not achieve the desired effect, and if it is too strong, it will cause great damage to the body.

The difference between strength and weakness lies in the fine line, and only a grandmaster can accurately grasp the nuances and, with the help of potions, complete the true tempering process.

Although Wang Tianyin never taught him any secret martial arts techniques, he engaged in in-depth exchanges with him through the Golden Yang Qi, teaching him a great deal of knowledge...
