Vortex Aperture
Liang Qu was not surprised that a single sip of soup could bring over a hundred drops of Marsh Essence.
Since it was a gift from Great Demon, it's perfectly normal for it to have more Marsh Essence.
He was surprised by the taste of the soup.
Pinch the "Fish Bag" and take another sip.
The rich, savory aroma shot straight from the taste buds to the top of the head, exploding with a bang at the back of the brain.
It's like sitting around a warm stove in the dead of winter, enjoying a bowl of the freshest fish soup.
The milky white broth is topped with golden oil droplets and a few green scallions floating on top. It warms you from your stomach to your toes, making you feel comfortable from the inside out.
No wonder the Toad received such high praise!
"This is incredible! Is this something that can grow naturally inside a living organism?" Liang Qu was incredulous. When he came to his senses, the "Fish Bag" in his hand was almost empty.
Leave some for a few Water Beast.
Resisting the urge to drink it all, he cut off the fin of the Golden Gong Fish with a single stroke.
As the blade slid across the surface, a row of cartilage as thin as scallion shreds was revealed, each piece radiating a faint golden light, like pine resin amber without any bubbles.
Having eaten so many Treasure Fish, Liang Qu's knife skills were beyond question; he quickly cut the Golden Gong Fish into Fist- sized pieces.
A thin layer of golden grease covered the blade, which he rubbed off with his finger and applied to Oolong's nose.
The well water bobbed, and several beasts rose to the surface one after another.
Liang Qu took out a small porcelain cup, poured the juice from the Fish Bag into it, and fed it to each of the beasts, letting them taste it together.
Cannot Move, he took a sip and collapsed to the ground, his belly full.
Bubbles kept rising from his Fist, and his Round Head patted his belly.
Awei flew from one rooftop to another, the Mirage Worm's body fully extended.
The Fat Catfish smacked its lips, as if it hadn't tasted anything, and slid right into its stomach as soon as it entered its mouth.
Refusing A Fei's offer of another cup, Liang Qu poured in charcoal, found a flint from the kitchen and lit it, laid out a wire mesh, neatly arranged a layer of Golden Gong Fish, and then placed a clay pot next to it, pouring in water and shark fin.
While the meat is cooking, separate the internal organs as well.
Most of them were divided by weight, but he cut the shark liver into several pieces, one piece for each animal, not letting them eat too much to prevent poisoning.

The fish meat is snow-white, the skin is slightly curled, and the edges are roasted to a golden brown. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. It melts in your mouth with just a slight touch, and the juices fill your mouth. A little salt elevates the whole flavor to a whole new level.
Boiled shark fin is more fragrant. Golden Gong Fish looks like a shark, and its bones are also made of cartilage, which is crunchy when chewed.
After eating most of the fish, and sharing some with Liu Shou, Liang Qu glanced at the harvest of the whole Golden Gong Fish.
[Marsh Essence +4582]
Is this the effect of top-grade Treasure Fish?
The pupil of the Liang Qu experienced an earthquake.
I remember that the Two Lives Flower contributed more than 5,300 points of Marsh Essence, but I didn't expect that a Golden Gong Fish contributed more than 4,500 points, only 1,000 points less than the Two Lives Flower.
Doesn't that mean he just received two Great Merit?
No, the Golden Gong Fish might not be the most premium Treasure Fish; it's just that the Toad is so fond of it because of its delicious taste.
How much is a large iron anchor worth?
The Da Shun has warriors and all sorts of amazing machines, making mining much easier.
Adding iron anchor casting requires no special skills; it only requires pouring. The labor costs are not much, and the entire large iron anchor only cost Liang Qu a few dozen taels of silver.
Is there a more profitable business in the world?
Nearly a hundredfold profit!
As soon as the Golden Gong Fish entered my stomach, a sudden heat spread throughout my body, and my previously sluggish Qi and Blood surged like a hibernating snake awakening from hibernation.
Without time to use the Marsh Essence, Liang Qu ran back to the Quiet Room to circulate his Qi and Blood.
The Nine Apertures of Galloping Horse are distributed in the front, back, top, bottom, and middle of its body, forming the image of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
It is divided into three realms: the Three Dantians, the Three Apertures Gates, and the Three Apertures, which correspond to the Galloping Horse Initial Realm, respectively.
If all Nine Apertures are opened, it is another honorific title: the ultimate realm.
This division is not because it is easier to distinguish them when grouped into three, but because each of the three levels of improvement is different.
The Dantian, Dantian, and lower Dantian are the foreground, all belonging to yin. Yin is gentle and responsible for storage, and is the place for nourishing life, containing within and circulating throughout the body.
With all Three Dantians open, Martial Artist can utilize these Aperture Gate, significantly increasing their efficiency compared to the period when only four energy centers were open.
Therefore, a qualified Cultivation Method, even if it doesn't include the Thirty-Six Ways to Bridge in the Wolf Smoke Realm, should at least include the Three Dantians Aperture Gate to be considered a qualified Lower Vehicle Cultivation Method.
If it doesn't even include the Three Dantians Aperture Gate, then it's just a second-rate, mass-produced product that won't even get Lower Vehicle rating.
The coccyx, the spine, and the occipital bone are the three points of the back, which all belong to Yang. Yang is strong and open, and is the place of operation. It should extend outward to protect the body.
Once these three barriers are opened, Martial Artist's self-control will be greatly enhanced, enabling them to release their Gang Qi and multiply the power of their martial arts techniques.
Liang Qu is currently at this stage; in other words, he is already a mid-level Martial Master in the Galloping Horse Middle Realm.
Once the Viscera Gate are opened, one can jump directly to the Galloping Horse Middle Realm. If this were to be told, it would shock countless people.
Liang Qu was already attempting to break through the fifth Aperture Gate – the Spinal Column Gate.
The Spinal Column Gate point is located between the two shoulder blades, in the vertebrae that are parallel to and opposite the "middle Dantian".
This is the center of the "momentum," located at the junction of the two shoulders. In most people, the shoulder blades protrude, which not only affects the expansiveness of the momentum but also hinders the flow of the Du meridian.
When one can achieve the posture of "pulling back and arching arms," the shoulder blades will retract, the spine will round, the arms will extend, and the Du meridian will be unblocked, thus giving one the power to encompass everything.
Unfortunately, without the help of profound energy, the difficulty of opening the mind is more than ten times greater.
Until the energy from the Golden Gong Fish was exhausted, Liang Qu was covered in sweat, and his Spinal Column Gate was only slightly loosened, without feeling like it was about to collapse.
The further you progress in spiritual practice, the more difficult it becomes.
Many people waste their lives struggling with the Four Gates of Skin, Flesh, Bone, and Blood, but if they can enter the Galloping Horse, they can become a lord in a town and leapfrog social classes.
Liang Qu was not annoyed. He communicated with Ze Cauldron and added the accumulated Marsh Essence to the fusion level.
He hadn't used the more than two thousand points of Marsh Essence from the Mermaid Tear before, but this time he combined them with the Golden Gong Fish and increased the fusion level to continue circulating his Qi and Blood.
I close my eyes and meditate, as the sun begins to set in the west.
[The Marsh Ape and Marsh Spirit merged three parts, gaining the Innate Skills - Vortex Wave.]
Liang Qu opened his eyes.
Vortex Wave?
What's the use?
Communicate with Ze Cauldron.

thousandth?
Liang Qu did a rough calculation and his lips twitched.
Eight tons?
