In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

After practicing the Wind-Breaking Saber Technique twice more, Lu Yuan's progress was nearing perfection.

"Once the Wind-Breaking Blade Technique is perfected, it can unleash its blade's aura, which will definitely cause quite a stir. I'll practice this last time when I get back this afternoon!"

Lu Yuan thought to himself, then followed the crowd toward the dining hall.

Sure enough, the canteen had all kinds of meat, including beef, pork, chicken, duck, fish, as well as eggs, duck eggs, and so on.

As for rice, flour, and steamed buns, there's an abundance of those.

With that identity token, as long as he doesn't waste it or take it away, he can play as many times as he wants.

When he was at Songyuan, although he could get a free meat dish at noon, it was at most half a pound of pork, plus a little egg.

Here, not only is there no limit to the amount of meat, but you can also eat until you're stuffed at every meal.

However, after Lu Yuan had a hearty meal, he found that even beef seemed to have far less effect on him than before.

Even if he eats another meal tonight, it will probably be difficult for him to fully recover.

Immediately, Lu Yuan got up and walked towards the outer hall.

"Shopkeeper, may I take the Replenishing Soup this time?"

Lu Yuan asked the shopkeeper directly.

"Both the Tonifying Essence Soup and the Qi-Boosting Soup are worth three taels each, so of course they are!"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

Immediately, he first performed the enthronement ceremony for Lu Yuan, and then handed Lu Yuan a packet of herbs for a tonic soup.

Thank you!

After receiving the medicinal herbs, Lu Yuan walked directly out of Guangchun Hall.

Upon returning home, he first asked Yang to prepare the tonic soup, and then went directly to the courtyard.

"Buzzing..."

Lu Yuan unleashed the Wind-Breaking Saber Technique once more, his moves flowing seamlessly together, each strike faster than the last.

In the end, even the trajectory of the blade became invisible, and the sharp sound of it cutting through the air continued to ring out.

Furthermore, one could faintly see that the tip of the blade seemed to be constantly emitting white energy.

"laugh!"

Lu Yuan cleaved the stone with a single stroke, splitting it completely in two, leaving the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

"The blade's edge is complete!"

Lu Yuan stood holding his sword, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Since he first encountered martial arts, in less than a month, he has not only successfully reached the Dark Force level, but also perfected the Wind-Breaking Blade Technique, successfully unleashing its blade light.

It should be noted that even Master Song, who has been immersed in the Wind-Breaking Blade Technique for more than ten years, has not yet reached perfection, nor has he ever been able to unleash the blade's brilliance. Yet he succeeded in doing so in just over ten days.

I'm afraid even those top geniuses with exceptional talent and noble families are probably no better than this.

Blade gleam is the ultimate expression of swordsmanship, a special realm that countless swordsmen dream of.

Before setting foot there, one only knew that it was powerful enough to injure even a rank-3 martial artist; after setting foot there, one realized that it was even stronger and unstoppable.

Lu Yuan carefully experienced the terrifying power unleashed by his previous strike, and felt that even if he were to face an ordinary master of internal energy, he could easily kill them with a single strike.

Although activating the blade's aura consumes a great deal of his vital energy, and given his current limit, he can only activate it a maximum of three times, three times would be enough in a life-or-death battle.

Moreover, with his already perfected Five Animal Fist, his blood and qi limits can continue to increase rapidly.

"Now, even looking at the entire Qinghe County, I'm basically capable of protecting myself!"

Lu Yuan smiled gently, appearing even more composed.

If one were to perfect the Finger Flicking Skill, even against a seasoned master like Master Song, one might not be unable to turn the tide.

Of course, despite his significant improvement in strength, he still maintains a steady and low-key approach.

Because he knows that now is not the time to be reckless.

With his current strength, he might be considered a master in Qinghe County, but if placed in the entire Anyang Prefecture, he would probably still be slightly lacking against the true geniuses of aristocratic families.

In short, his skills are not good enough yet, and he needs to continue training!

[Wind-Breaking Blade Technique Perfected (Unlimited: 1%)]

Lu Yuan glanced at the ancient scroll in his mind again. The Wind-Breaking Saber Technique, like the Five Animal Fist, had reached perfection, and its proficiency level had also changed to an unbroken state.

Even if he continues to cultivate, there shouldn't be any further changes.

Clearly, whether it's the Five Animal Fist or the Wind-Breaking Saber Technique, to successfully break through the limits, other conditions must be met, or a certain opportunity must be reached.

As for the specific conditions or opportunities required, Lu Yuan has not yet figured them out.

He didn't dwell on it too much. Since he no longer needed to practice the Wind-Breaking Blade Technique, he could use his time and energy to practice the Finger Flicking Skill.

"Pfft...pfft...pfft..."

Lu Yuan sat in the courtyard, grabbed a handful of pebbles, and began practicing his finger-flicking technique.

As one small stone after another sank into the mud, his proficiency in the finger-flicking technique rapidly increased.

[Minor Mastery of Finger Flicking Skill (781/1000)]

[Minor Mastery of Finger Flicking Skill (897/1000)]

……

After mastering the Finger Flicking Skill, Lu Yuan downed the entire bowl of the nourishing soup he had prepared in one gulp.

Immediately, he could feel his physical strength rapidly recovering.

After resting for only two and a half hours, Lu Yuan's physical strength had basically recovered to its peak.

This is the effect of the medicinal soup; it is not only more effective than ordinary meat, but also allows for a faster recovery.

Unfortunately, this tonic soup can only be taken for a maximum of three days, which is equivalent to one tael of silver per day.

Although he still has ten taels of silver left, he can only buy three servings of the Replenishing Essence Soup, which is enough to last him for ten days.

Unless he can earn thirty taels of silver a month, it will barely be enough for him to take a dose of the Vitality Tonic Soup every day. If he includes the Qi Tonic Soup, the amount will double. And if he adds meat, it will be a bottomless pit.

Unfortunately, his current income is far from enough to support him in entering a cultivation state with maximum energy consumption.

If it weren't for the Zhou family's support, I probably would still only be able to practice once a day, maintaining the lowest possible progress.

"Practicing martial arts is a complete waste of money!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then began practicing the Five Animal Fist again.

After this training session, he could clearly feel that the qi and blood in his body had increased by at least 10%.

Based on this progress, he estimated that it would probably only take a month at most for him to undergo the third Qi and Blood Tempering and break through to the Transformation Realm.

Moreover, after completing this training, I no longer felt as tired as before. Even though I could no longer quickly recover my physical strength, I was still able to maintain a normal state.

Clearly, the residual medicinal effects of the Buyuan Decoction are still taking effect.

"Bang!"

Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and several men strode in.

Without exception, all of these people had a black tiger head mark on the back of their hands.

"Something happened?"

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, appearing extremely calm.

Although less than a month had passed, he was no longer the ordinary martial artist who needed lime powder to kill two Black Tiger Gang thugs. Instead, he was now a true master of internal energy, capable of unleashing the power of his blade!
