Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

You suddenly perked up.

The upgrade of the Canglan Dinghai Stake is crucial to triggering that special encounter!

[And you're certainly eager to see what kind of stance training could trigger such an unknown adventure!]

With the boost from your self-cultivation, your cultivation speed has increased significantly once again.

This skill seems destined to belong to you and be used by you.

With a current 10 points of bone strength and the pressure of endless water, your body, every inch of your flesh, seems to be compressed even further.

[With the practice of stance training, the power contained within the flesh and blood has increased immeasurably compared to before.]

[Even at this moment, you seem to vaguely sense that under such water pressure, the residual toxins from the "Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Vitality Decoction" in your body are being digested more quickly.]

[This stance training method can even accelerate the learning speed of other stance training methods?]

You may not know, but all you can do now is take that final step!

[Cultivating the Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stake...]

【…】

[Like a deep abyss, you seem to have sunk forever into the water, where the pressure has finally reached its limit!]

[Your Canglan Dinghai Stake has gained some experience in your cultivation. Your Canglan Dinghai Stake level has increased. Current realm: Level 3, 0% (Beginner)]

【finally!】

[After several days of persistent training, and with the added boost of your terrifying innate talent—far surpassing that of a normal Body Refinement Realm martial artist—you finally felt the difference!]

Suddenly, you seem to feel as if a huge hole has opened up in your body!

Your pores, which were previously sealed off, seem to suddenly be able to breathe again!

The power within that entire deep pool, in just a fleeting instant, seemed to enter through every pore of your body, permeating your very flesh and blood.

It's cleansing your entire body! It's refining your strength!

It's even squeezing your body even further!

At this moment, you feel as if you have become one with the entire water source.

[You seem to be able to breathe freely underwater without needing to perform the "Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate" technique!]

Every pore of your skin, every drop of your blood, interacts with the water source, merging with this endless flow of water!

You can't understand how this happened.

But you know, your body seems to be undergoing an unimaginable change!

However, this change doesn't seem to have resulted in any increase in your physical strength or changes in your attributes.

Finally, these changes gradually subsided and ended, and your body involuntarily floated on the surface of the deep pool.

Underwater, it feels as if countless hands are supporting you.

【…】

At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn't wait to open his status bar and look at the changes of the Canglan Dinghai Stake in the martial arts.

It has to be said that the textual prompts this time were indeed too exaggerated. He really couldn't imagine what kind of changes had occurred in this particularly basic stance training:

【Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stake (Yellow)】

This is a basic stance training exercise, yet its cultivation requirements are extremely demanding and cannot be practiced using ordinary methods. Furthermore, practicing this stance training does not significantly improve one's physical refinement level!

However, through your exploration and persistent practice, you've discovered unimaginable mysteries of this skill! Similarly, the difficulty of continuing to cultivate it has increased dramatically!

[Current: Level 3, 0% (Beginner)]

【Features:】

【As the tide rises, so does every boat: The other stance training techniques you practice can coexist with you and be practiced simultaneously. At the same time, the training speed of all stance training techniques increases by 25%, and the consumption of potential points decreases by 20%. However, the attribute enhancement effect of body tempering brought about by the advancement of the other stance training techniques is reduced.

Note: Apart from the Canglan Dinghai Zhuang (Azure Wave Sea-Stabilizing Stance), a maximum of two stance training methods can be practiced simultaneously at present.

"Um?"

Chen Xuan stared at the so-called Canglan Dinghai Stake in front of him, blinked, and was momentarily stunned.

How come the grade of this cultivation technique has been upgraded?

Is this the true Burning Technique?

Wait, this should be called "Miao Jue"!

The previous characteristic of "each doing its own thing" that allowed one to practice other stances without being affected has disappeared, or rather, it has completely evolved and become this so-called "rising tide lifts all boats"!

Previously, cultivation was unaffected, but after advancing to the third rank and reaching the so-called "yellow level", not only was it unaffected, but the cultivation speed also increased, and even the consumption of potential points was reduced!

However, the only downside is that while the cultivation is simple, the improvement in cultivation seems to have disappeared. If the body-refining stance training no longer improves one's realm and allows for the acquisition of cultivation attributes, then what is the point of improvement?

Wait, there are still some, such as the special properties gained from cultivating the Shennong withered tree stump, making one immune to all poisons...

Thinking of this, an unexpected look of anticipation and joy suddenly appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes:

Something is wrong!

Something's wrong with this technique!

[Having experienced the unique changes in your body caused by the "Canglan Dinghai Stance," you finally realize that this unique stance training method seems to truly conceal a great secret unknown to you.]

[You didn't move, but your eyes involuntarily turned golden, eagerly looking at yourself, at this special martial art!]

[A special adventure will be triggered based on the special martial art: "Canglan Dinghai Zhuang"]

【The Lost Pearl of Canglan (2): Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stake. In the South China Sea, many years ago, many young people who longed for the path of martial arts knew about this martial art. This martial art is not mysterious. It is known to many fishing villages in the South China Sea and many sects near Qiong Island.

Even some experts have studied this technique, but none of them have figured out what it is, regarding it as a useless stance exercise! This technique requires a person to enter the water, but a person is not a fish, so how can they stay underwater for a long time?

Even some sailors who considered themselves excellent swimmers either eventually gave up or drowned. Over time, this technique was forgotten and no longer valued. However, the mysteries contained within this stance training far exceeded what others could imagine!

You have gradually unearthed its mysteries! You realize that if you want to further discover this technique and its hidden secrets, you need to improve further and enhance your own strength to complete the body refinement process!

This serendipitous encounter will trigger different subsequent encounters depending on the level of the stance you have cultivated when you break through to the Body Refinement Realm!

(Note: The current highest level of stance training is level 12.)

You remained silent.

At this moment, you experience an extraordinary adventure of unknown rank in this so-called "Lost Pearl of the Azure Sea," a place undergoing earth-shattering changes.

You know you're about to embark on a path no one has ever tried before!
