The Golden Toad Swallowing Heaven Method operated on its own.
With every passing instant, his Spirit and Energy increased.
Though the increase was tiny, tiny indeed.
Yet as drops of water wore through stone, over time it would become something remarkable.
More importantly;
This rate of improvement would continue to increase.
More interestingly:
Chu Qing felt that the strength of his internal organs had risen by a huge margin out of nowhere.
Though he had not cut open his chest to test them himself, he felt that his internal organs had at least reached bronze grade.
They might even be infinitely close to silver grade.
"My internal organs are already growing stronger from the start. If I temper them further with secret teachings and raise them step by step..."
"Then will my gold-grade internal organs be stronger than those of other martial artists?"
He moved his limbs.
He even began practicing his martial arts.
His limbs were strong and powerful, his Spirit and Energy vigorous.
Though the power of his martial arts had increased somewhat,
the increase was exceedingly slight.
Sure enough:
Internal organs could not directly increase combat power.
But the enhanced Spirit and Energy had, to a certain extent, strengthened his foundation.
After a round of testing,
he also discovered that although he had not formally cultivated his internal organs, he could already control their functions.
He could even deliberately speed up or slow down his heartbeat, and accelerate the movements of his stomach.
This ability was no different from silver-grade internal organs.
He even had a feeling:
he could control his stomach and actively absorb or reject all kinds of substances.
After a long while, he discovered:
when he controlled his lungs to blast out air currents and combined them with sonic arts, their killing power doubled.
