From absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to achieving divine mastery in martial arts

Martial arts techniques to escape surveillance!

They were like two great mountains, weighing heavily on Canglian's heart.

For the next few days, he racked his brains to think about these two things almost every day.

Now that he has mastered the Hunyuan stance and other auxiliary cultivation methods, he no longer seeks out Elder Huang for guidance every morning. He only greets him respectfully and exchanges a few pleasantries when he sees him from afar while out for a walk.

In Master Huang's eyes, the young master seemed to have entered a bottleneck period in his cultivation and was exploring on his own, which made him feel a little sorry for him, out of a master's heartache.

In Gu Guolong's view, this young master had completely become an idle person with nothing to do.

Deep within the Cang Mansion, in a detached building blending Chinese and Western styles, thick Persian carpets cover the mahogany floors, the flames in the fireplace flicker quietly, and the air is filled with the complex aroma of cigars and coffee.

The patriarch, Cang Hong, was sitting on a large leather sofa, holding a cup of freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee in his hand. His eyes, staring at the newspaper, were as deep as an ancient well, revealing no emotion.

Across from him, the first wife, Shen Peiyu, was elegantly stirring her cup of black tea with a small silver spoon.

She wore a cheongsam, her figure was plump, and her well-maintained face showed no signs of aging. However, her slightly upturned phoenix eyes always carried a hint of subtle meanness.

Gu Guolong stood quietly beside the sofa, his head slightly bowed.

"Guolong! What has Alian been doing these days?" Cang Hong finally spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a strong sense of authority.

Gu Guolong bowed and said, "He goes home, takes walks, sunbathes, and plays with the caged thrush in the garden. Other than that, the young master has not made any unusual moves."

"Heh." Shen Peiyu let out a barely audible sneer. She put down her teacup. "Besides being able to stand in a stance, what kind of trouble can he possibly cause? He even tries to learn martial arts from others. Without profound martial arts training, he'll never amount to anything in his life. Top-tier martial arts are the foundation, but unfortunately, he doesn't have that. But at least it saves me some trouble."

Cang Hong simply took a small sip of coffee.

Gu Guolong paused for a moment, then continued reporting, "By the way, Master and Madam, a few days ago, the young master asked Master Huang about the secret medicine and martial arts techniques at the Ming Jin stage. Then he asked me if the family... could provide him with some."

"A secret medicine?" Shen Peiyu thought to herself that she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "He dares to even think about taking a secret medicine? Guolong, you know how precious a single 'secret medicine' is. How dare he even dream of it?"

"So I declined on behalf of my wife!" Gu Guolong added expressionlessly. He was already used to his wife's temper and knew what to do.

"Good for you to refuse!" Shen Peiyu's expression softened, and she picked up her teacup again.

Cang Hong remained silent until this moment, when he slowly put down his coffee cup.

He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Guolong.

"I can't give him the secret medicine or martial arts techniques. But his monthly allowance of silver dollars will continue as usual, without any deductions."

He waved his hand. "Go down. If anything happens, remember to report back!"

"Yes, Master!"

Gu Guolong bowed respectfully, made no unnecessary movements, turned around, and quietly left the room.

……

After the meal, Cang Lian leaned back on the garden bench, squinting her eyes and enjoying the warm sunshine, looking completely at ease with the world around her.

The warm sunshine shone on him, and he was like a contented cat, greedily enjoying the warmth.

However, beneath this languid facade, a transformative metamorphosis is quietly underway.

He let the scorching sunlight shine on him without reservation. Deep in his brow, the Heaven and Earth Pearl, like a miniature sun, frantically absorbed the light and heat from the outside world.

Invisible golden rays were continuously drawn into the bead and transformed into the purest and most primal energy—the essence of the sun.

This essence of the sun, like the golden thread in the hands of an embroiderer, repairs and reshapes the weathered body stitch by stitch.

Where the warmth of the sun's essence flows, muscle fibers are no longer simply torn and grown, but rearranged and recombined in a mysterious rhythm.

They become denser and tougher, and the gaps between each muscle fiber seem to be filled with golden dust, giving the entire muscle explosive power and resilience beyond its size.

This is what martial arts often refer to as "training tendons to form tendons," a level that ordinary martial artists need to achieve through countless blows and stretches. For Cang Lian, it is simply a natural result of being nourished by the essence of the sun.

The fragile skeleton is also changing.

The essence of the sun slowly traveled along his bones.

His bone density was increasing at an incredible rate, and the color was gradually changing from the original grayish-white to a warm, jade-like color.

His spine, in particular, with its twenty-four vertebrae loosened and then relocked under the sun's heat, resembled a meticulously crafted jade dragon, poised to unleash its power.

This is the foundation of the "Dragon Bone," the "pillar of heaven" through which martial artists transmit their power, and what others call "extraordinary bone structure."

The deepest change occurred in his very bones.

The warmth of the sun's essence seeped into the bone cavity, gradually turning the originally crimson bone marrow into a light gold.

The hematopoietic function is greatly enhanced, and the newly generated blood is full of vigorous vitality, flowing in the blood vessels like a rushing golden river, delivering endless vitality to every corner of the body.

This is the "Golden Marrow Blood Transformation" that martial arts practitioners dream of, a sign of complete transformation!

This solid foundation can only be built by taking "secret medicine".

With the essence of the sun, the sculpted body undergoes this fundamental transformation from the inside out every moment.

He lay there, motionless, but inside his body, it seemed as if a cataclysmic evolution was taking place.

His breathing became long and shallow, and his heartbeat was strong and powerful.

His skin shimmered with a faint, healthy glow in the sunlight, as if coated with the finest mutton fat jade.

He may seem to be wasting his time, but in reality, he is using the most efficient and luxurious method in the world to forge an unparalleled "treasure body" for himself.

This body will be his greatest asset in the future, allowing him to dominate the martial arts world and reign supreme!

……

Time, like sand slipping through your fingers, quietly slips away day by day.

Three days, five days, ten days, half a month...

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Canglian remained the same carefree young master, spending his days strolling in the garden, basking in the sun, and occasionally teasing the caged thrush.

Gu Guolong's surveillance reports were routine and repetitive every day.

He wondered if this young master's martial arts training was truly just a passing fancy.

In that case, it would be a shame to waste such a decent talent in martial arts!

However, behind this "waste," only Cang Lian himself knew what earth-shattering changes were taking place inside his body.

That morning, just as the sun rose over the eastern wall, the first rays of golden sunlight pierced through the window and shone precisely on his face.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, he felt that he had changed.

He was no longer "himself," but a huge water vat filled with water.

No, it's not water, it's liquefied gold, it's viscous mercury slurry brimming with explosive energy!

The energy transformed from the essence of the sun surged through his limbs, bones, and flesh, pushing every cell to its limit. It seemed that if it were just a little more, it would break free of the body's constraints and explode with a roar!

He slowly sat up from the bed, a simple action that gave him an unprecedented experience.

He moved effortlessly, without deliberately exerting any force, yet his bones emitted a series of crisp, dense popping sounds, like popping beans!

From the cervical spine to the thoracic spine, then to the lumbar spine and all the limbs, it runs through each segment, with sounds connecting them, like a string of firecrackers that are lit in an instant.

The sound is no longer the harsh, strained sound of the past, but rather mellow, clear, and full of metallic resonance.

He looked down at his hands, his skin glowing with a warm, jade-like luster in the morning light.

He could clearly feel that the blood under his skin was no longer rushing, but flowing at a heavy, slow pace, like molten lava underground, the energy contained within it startling him.

He clenched his fist suddenly!

"Boom!"

A dull thud from the joints!

An unprecedented, breathtakingly powerful force instantly rose from the soles of his feet, twisted through his waist and hips, ran down his spine, and finally condensed on his fist.

This power was so pure, so perfectly integrated, that he felt he could easily punch through the wall in front of him!

This is not a powerful force acquired through hard training, but rather an innate strength that comes from having one's body reshaped to its extreme!

"The Precious Body technique is finally complete! Although I've never practiced Ming Jin (a martial arts method), with my current strength, I feel I can rival a Ming Jin master!"

Cang Lian clenched his fists tightly, feeling the power within his body that seemed capable of splitting mountains and breaking peaks. An unprecedented excitement and pride surged forth from the deepest part of his heart.
