Elderly Martial Saint: Sixty Times the Cultivation Speed ​​at the Start

Yi Yang discovered that this technique followed a powerful and forceful approach, repeatedly tempering the tendons, bones, and muscles with true qi, pushing the physical body to its limits with each repetition.

After successfully cultivating, a martial artist can use their physical body to directly confront a True Qi Realm expert wielding a magical artifact.

Moreover, the cultivation method of this technique is simple and brutal—circulate internal energy, pass through acupoints, vibrate the bones, and then conclude the practice.

Yi Yang sat cross-legged on the hard bed, guiding the circulation of the Yi Wood True Qi according to the route on the first page of the book.

The true energy travels down the spine, passes the coccyx, enters the legs, and then bounces back from the soles of the feet to the lumbar spine, oscillating for a cycle before returning to the dantian.

After finishing the first round of repairs, Yi Yang looked at the panel that only he could see.

【Martial Arts Dragon Elephant Body (Beginner) 60/20000】

A 60x bonus. Normally, you only make a little over 100 progress points in one run, but multiplying that by 60 gives you 60.

He hasn't even mastered the basics of the technique yet, but it's not difficult to get started. Once he masters this powerful external cultivation technique, Yi Yang's strength will increase significantly.

A wave of soreness and swelling came from his muscles and bones, which was slowly soothed by the self-healing properties of the Yi Wood True Qi.

This exercise does not conflict with the Yi Mu Health Preservation Exercise; in fact, they complement each other.

Yi Yang put the booklet away and continued to practice according to the instructions in the manual.

End of Yin hour.

Before dawn, the air outside the barracks was bitterly cold.

Yi Yang was already sitting on the bed.

He closed his eyes, and the golden-haired ape deep within his mind squatted in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

As he practiced the "Mind Monkey Guarding the Will Technique," Yi Yang's spiritual power spread outward from the core of his consciousness, circle after circle.

Having mastered this technique for some time now, Yi Yang's mental strength has long since become clear and sharp, transforming from its initial vagueness.

Through Yi Yang's persistent and arduous practice, this skill is only one step away from achieving minor mastery.

His breakthrough to the mid-stage of True Qi expanded his Qi Sea and meridians, and his spiritual platform also loosened.

In addition, the aftereffects of refining the true elixir last night had not yet dissipated, making the boundaries of his spiritual power much more active than usual.

Yi Yang seized this opportunity, drawing all his spiritual energy back to the center of his mind and cultivating according to the energy circulation route.

As the progress on the panel reached its maximum, Yi Yang's sea of ​​consciousness underwent a dramatic change.

It began to expand outwards, and the golden-haired ape that had been residing in the sea of ​​consciousness raised its head and roared. With its roar, Yi Yang's spiritual power began to surge.

Yi Yang's perception range changed at this moment.

Previously, his mental power coverage limit was 100 zhang.

Now he closed his eyes and peered outwards—150 zhang, 200 zhang, until he could catch the heartbeat of a mouse in the corner of the camp wall 230 zhang away, before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

It's done.

Looking at the progress on the panel, Yi Yang opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

His perception range has more than doubled, which means he is almost impossible to be ambushed on the battlefield.

Any hidden hand below the True Qi Realm will be exposed two hundred feet away.

Feeling stronger, Yi Yang got out of bed and pushed open the door to the barracks.

A gray-white line of sky stretched out outside the door.

Before the morning light had even reached the camp, the sounds of drills could already be heard on the parade ground.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

The sound of synchronized exhalations echoed from the training ground.

Yi Yang walked to the corridor and leaned against a pillar to look in that direction.

Ning Xiong stood in the center of the training ground.

He held an iron spear in his hand, the shaft of which was two sizes thicker than an ordinary spear, and the tip of the spear gleamed with a dark red luster.

He was shirtless, and the muscles in his arms rippled and bulged with the force of the gunshot.

Around him, twelve guards stood in fixed positions, each holding a weapon, their breaths mingling with each other.

This is a formation.

Yi Yang spread his spiritual power, his curious gaze enveloping the entire formation.

He discovered that Ning Xiong's iron spear was the key to the formation.

Each time he drew his gun, twelve fine lines of true energy would emanate from the gun, each connecting to the inner energy emitted by one of the twelve people.

The twelve people's internal energy was guided by that true energy and operated in sync, integrating offense and defense.

Ning Xiong pointed the spearhead forward.

The twelve men stepped forward simultaneously, their weapons slashing out from different angles.

The internal energy gathered at the front of the formation, and the combined force was more than three times that of a single person's output.

Yi Yang watched from the corridor for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

The brilliance of this formation lies not in a single burst of power, but in its sustained suppression.

The twelve people take turns outputting their internal energy, with Ning Xiong in the center directing and distributing it. As long as the core of the formation remains intact, this fighting method can be maintained for a long time.

If you encounter a mid-stage True Qi opponent in actual combat, this formation may not win, but it can definitely hold them off.

With twelve Inner Qi Realm experts plus one early True Qi Realm expert as the array's core, their combined attack was enough to threaten the mid-True Qi Realm expert.

Not bad.

Yi Yang mentally noted Ning Xiong's ability to train troops.

This man is indeed very capable; no wonder Ding Xiang used him as a trusted confidant back then.

Ning Xiong sheathed his gun and looked up to see Yi Yang standing under the eaves.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, slammed the gun barrel on the ground, and said:

"Commander, you're up quite early."

"You were here earlier." Yi Yang walked down from the corridor. "What's this formation called?"

"Twelve-linked spear formation".

Ning Xiong slung the iron spear over his shoulder and explained, "It was passed down from Brother Ding Xiang when he was alive. I've modified it over the years to make it more suitable for me."

Yi Yang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He also didn't care about the fact that the Zhenfu Guards were cooperating with Ning Xiong.

He turned and walked toward the camp gate.

"Where to?" Ning Xiong called out from behind.

"Sword Transformation Alliance".

Without turning his head, Yi Yang raised his right hand and shook the commander's token at his waist.

"The door you couldn't get in last year, I'll try knocking on it today."

Ning Xiong stood there, watching Yi Yang's figure disappear outside the camp gate.

He tightened his grip on the gun barrel, his lips moved twice but no sound came out.

A guard from the town came up beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Deputy Commander, is this newcomer... reliable?"

Ning Xiong did not answer immediately.

He recalled the dark blade flash on the arena yesterday, and the image of Kong Wu's 300-pound body being blasted away.

"Let's wait and see."

Yi Yang walked through several main streets in the eastern part of the prefectural city and turned into an alley paved with bluestone slabs.

At the end of the alley, a plaque hangs above the gate of a three-courtyard house.

The three characters "Huajian Alliance" are written in bold, powerful strokes.

Two gray-clad guards stood at the entrance, swords at their waists, their auras at the second level of internal energy.

Yi Yang walked to the door without stopping.

Just as the two guards were about to stop him, they noticed the flying eagle emblem on the black iron token at his waist.

Zhenfu Guard. Commander.
