Chapter 50 Internal Refining
The Yang residence.
The courtyard of the west wing.
Yang Jian was fully focused on practicing the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique" in the courtyard. Compared to before, his breathing rhythm and body movements were becoming more and more skillful.
From a distance, it already resembled the rudimentary form of a breathing celestial serpent. Its breathing rhythm was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, quite different from that of ordinary people.
This breathing rhythm was maintained for a long time, until at a certain moment, Yang Jian's aura suddenly changed, his aura also rapidly increased, and at the same time his breathing rhythm became longer.
Yang Jian felt his internal organs being further tempered, and he felt a pain, but at the same time he could also feel himself becoming stronger.
He knew very well what this meant.
This change lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually stopping.
"In just two days, I finally mastered the Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique and my martial arts cultivation also broke through to the Inner Refinement level."
Yang Jian exhaled a long breath of white air, and his aura became much stronger.
He felt that his strength, speed, reaction speed, and other aspects had improved significantly.
Although the improvement from this breakthrough is not as great as when breaking through the limit, it is still far superior to a normal breakthrough during external training.
External cultivation and internal cultivation differ by only one word, but that one word represents a level that many ordinary people find difficult to transcend.
Within the Yang family mansion, those with martial arts cultivation at the external refinement level can only serve as ordinary guards, while those at the internal refinement level can become the head guard.
Their social status, salaries, and level of importance are not on the same level.
Yang Jian had previously broken through his limits in external cultivation, achieving the Flesh Form: Dragon Python Entangling Tendons, making him stronger than ordinary internal cultivation masters. However, he was still practicing external cultivation, and his internal organs had not yet been tempered, leaving him with very obvious weaknesses.
If he encounters someone stronger than him who can injure his internal organs with overwhelming power, his resistance will be weaker than that of an expert in the Inner Refinement Realm.
An ordinary internal cultivation master might be able to withstand it, but he might die from the shattering of his internal organs; this is the difference in their cultivation levels.
The inner cultivation realm represents a stronger existence, and there's a reason for that.
Now that Yang Jian's cultivation has broken through to the inner refinement level, the internal organs in his body have become stronger. At this point, he is considered to be superior to ordinary inner refinement masters in all aspects, rather than being stronger in only one aspect.
"I've mastered the basics of the Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique, and my cultivation has successfully broken through to the Inner Refinement stage. Now it's time to use attribute points to continue improving!"
Yang Jian's mind sank into the sea of consciousness.
【Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique (Beginner) (+)】
The moment he began practicing the Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique, the technique appeared in his mind, accompanied by a '+' sign that he wanted to see.
Yang Jian had some concerns before, because the light orbs were not just white; he had seen other colored light orbs in the Meijiang River.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far at the time, and the strangeness in the Meijiang River seemed to be just something he passed by. After that, Yang Jian never saw it again, but he also learned that the light orb had other colors.
Yang Jian was originally worried that the white attribute points would be useless after reaching the inner refinement level, but now it seems that he was overthinking it!
The situation is not as bad as it seems.
Yang Jian took out a Three Spirits Blood Spirit Pill from his pocket and swallowed it directly.
"Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique, add points."
With a slight thought, Yang Jian consumed two of his six white attribute points, leaving him with only four.
At this moment, Yang Jian's internal organs were further tempered. Yang Jian had experienced this tempering sensation when he first broke through to the inner refinement stage, but now the tempering was deeper and progressed faster, making Yang Jian feel more intense pain.
Fortunately, the pain didn't last long, only about five minutes, before it ended.
Yang Jian's aura grew even stronger once again.
"Upgrading the 'Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique' from beginner to minor mastery level consumed two attribute points, double the amount consumed during external training!"
"At this rate of energy expenditure, I won't even be able to reach the Perfected level, let alone raise the Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique to the Limit Break level!"
Yang Jian was not so happy about his breakthrough in cultivation, because the attribute points consumed at the inner refinement level were more than he had expected.
If we follow the previous consumption of "Little Dragon Elephant Fist", six white attribute points would be enough to break the limit, but with the current consumption, it is definitely not enough!
This dashed Yang Jian's hopes of breaking through his limits through internal cultivation!
"Forget about all that nonsense, let's just use up all our attribute points to improve our cultivation!"
Yang Jian shook his head slightly.
Under these circumstances, although it may not be possible to break through to the inner refinement limit in one go, it is still possible to continue to break through and improve.
Yang Jian took two more Three Spirit Blood Spirit Pills. Just as he broke through to the Lesser Completion Realm, the previous Three Spirit Blood Spirit Pill had already been almost completely absorbed by his body.
"Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique, add points."
Yang Jian had a slight thought, and this time he directly consumed all of his attribute points.
An even stronger pain immediately followed.
This time it lasted even longer, a full fifteen minutes.
Throughout this process, Yang Jian remained silent, enduring the pain without uttering a sound.
After the pain subsides, a further transformation begins.
Yang Jian could sense that his strength, speed, and reaction speed had increased significantly once again.
At the same time, within his sea of consciousness, the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique" skipped directly from the Lesser Completion stage to the Proficiency stage and directly reached the Greater Completion stage.
From the moment he began practicing the "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique" to the moment he reached the pinnacle of mastery, the entire process took less than half an hour. Such rapid progress would leave anyone who witnessed it speechless with astonishment.
Even with the aid of rare and precious medicines, those prodigies could not possibly cultivate so quickly.
With Yang Jian's current strength, if he were to encounter the woman in red whom he shot last time, the sheer force of their clash would be enough to kill her; there would be no need to fire a shot at all!
Those who seemed troublesome before are now no match for me; I could take on ten of them without any problem.
"Based on this rate of increase, it will take me at least two white attribute points to perfect the Heavenly Serpent Breath Technique. If the white attribute points required to break through the limit double, then I will need four white attribute points."
"To cultivate the Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique to the limit-breaking level, I need at least six white attribute points."
Yang Jian mentally calculated the attribute points needed to break through the limits of the "Heavenly Serpent Breath Technique".
The consumption is twice that of "Little Dragon Elephant Fist".
This method consumes a lot of resources, but each improvement far surpasses any breakthrough at the same level achieved through external cultivation. This translates into a comprehensive improvement in his overall strength, making him even more powerful.
"With my current strength, even someone who has achieved perfect inner cultivation would be no match for me."
"However, compared to a martial arts master like Zheng Bo, there is still a gap."
"Especially that extremely strong defensive air membrane, which cannot be compensated for by tempering and deepening the internal organs."
Comparing the commotion when Zheng Bo fought with the experts in the Divine Talisman Society, Yang Jian realized that Zheng Bo's current strength was still somewhat lacking.
The biggest difference lies in the membrane that even a musket cannot break through.
Even with his current level of physical tempering, he still couldn't withstand the bullets from the musket.
