Bronze Head Iron Arms

Lin Heng's mind was tranquil and clear at this moment, and his comprehension of sword intent had improved.

Baptized by the pure Heaven and Earth Origin Energy brought by the medicinal power of the Jade Sword Grass, his body began to undergo a slight transformation.

However, it was not enough to let Lin Heng break through a Realm. After all, he had only just advanced to the Grandmaster Fourth Level.

In the end, the medicinal power of this Heaven and Earth Treasure became part of Lin Heng's accumulated foundation.

Lin Heng felt that with the foundation accumulated from this Heaven and Earth Treasure, he might undergo another transformation after cultivating for at most another month or so.

Lin Heng was satisfied with this result. Being able to speed up his cultivation was already exceedingly rare.

After fully absorbing the Heaven and Earth Treasure, he calmed the distractions in his heart and entered focused cultivation once more.

Time passed quickly when he was focused.

A little over a month later, Lin Heng indeed underwent another transformation and reached the Grandmaster Realm Fifth Level.

After that, Lin Heng cultivated diligently every day without pause.

With the Sect's abundant supply of Cultivation Resources, he maintained a pace of advancing one level every four months. A year and a half later, he reached the Grandmaster Realm Ninth Level.

The Grandmaster Ninth Level was when a Martial Artist's Physique reached its peak, forging Bronze Head Iron Arms and an Indestructible Vajra Body.

At that time, an unprecedented transformation occurred within Lin Heng.

Within the Cold Pool, Lin Heng, who had been practicing his sword, suddenly stopped. He stood quietly where he was, seeming to meld into his surroundings as he exuded a natural, harmonious aura.

Heaven and Earth Origin Energy gathered around Lin Heng, rising and falling with his breaths.

From the rosy dawn spilling across the sky until the moon hung high overhead, Lin Heng remained motionless, like a statue.

Yet as time passed, the sound of Lin Heng's heartbeat grew louder and louder, thundering like war drums and shaking the four directions.

Within Lin Heng's body, surging blood and qi circulated, washing through every part of him. The vitality and vigor accumulated in his brilliant ruby-like blood burst forth, producing an unparalleled force of growth throughout his body.

The Origin Energy gathered from heaven and earth nourished that force of growth. Empowered by it, Lin Heng's body underwent a violent transformation, and he felt as though he had returned to his mother's womb to be nurtured anew.

This was a true shedding of the mortal frame and exchange of bones. Skin, muscles, bones, organs, and brain—everything was evolving.

The potential within his body was developed to the peak at this moment, and he became more perfect from the inside out. Lin Heng's "Ethereal Aura" was naturally cultivated at this moment, a layer of cloud-like Body Protection Aura enveloping his entire body.

When all the transformations ended, Lin Heng felt a powerful strength radiating from within to without.

His entire body seemed cast from bronze and forged from iron, his Physique becoming incomparably sturdy. His blood and qi flourished like a Flood Dragon, emanating an indestructible vajra aura.

At this moment, Lin Heng could already remain untouched by water and fire, impervious to blades and spears. His Physique had reached a Realm transcending the mundane.

With the slightest inspection, Lin Heng could clearly discover that within this indestructible vajra Physique, his Meridians and Acupoints had also been expanded to their peak, capable of containing Internal Energy as vast as rivers in circulation.

Thus, Lin Heng completed the Grandmaster Realm First Cultivation Goal. Through nine bodily transformations, he had tempered and elevated his Physique to the peak of the Human Body.

Next, he had to begin cultivating by accumulating Internal Breath.

Once Lin Heng filled all 1,296 Acupoints throughout his body with Internal Breath, he would reach Grandmaster Realm Great Completion.

"The efficiency of Refining Essence into Qi has increased by more than dozens of times. The speed at which I can accumulate cultivation has become far faster than before."

After completing his transformation, Lin Heng tried cultivating his Internal Cultivation for a moment and discovered the difference in himself.

After cultivating the Indestructible Vajra Body, Lin Heng's blood and qi had reached the peak. Each circulation of his Internal Cultivation Method could Refine a great amount of blood and qi into Internal Breath.

Furthermore, now that Lin Heng's bodily transformation was complete, all the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy he absorbed from the outside world could be directly Refined into his own Internal Breath. Naturally, the speed at which he accumulated cultivation increased dramatically.

Compared to his previous rate of accumulating cultivation, it was a leap forward.

"At this pace, I can fill one Acupoint with Internal Breath in a little over a day and advance one level in Three Months."

"And my current cultivation is at the Grandmaster Eleventh Level. If I advance one level every Three Months, then in around another five years, I can break through to the Grandmaster Realm Great Completion of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven."

The Grandmaster Realm First Nine Levels corresponded to nine bodily transformations, while the Later Eighteen Levels corresponded to filling Acupoints one after another with Internal Breath.

Throughout the process of the nine bodily transformations, Lin Heng's Internal Breath had also continuously accumulated, becoming increasingly profound.

Now that the nine transformations had ended, Lin Heng gathered all the Internal Breath in his body and found that it was enough to fill eighty-seven of his Acupoints, which had now been expanded to their peak.

By the standard of seventy-two Acupoints per level, Lin Heng was now at the Grandmaster Eleventh Level.

"But in truth, my cultivation can improve even faster."

Lin Heng's mind was tranquil and clear, free of sorrow or joy.

He took one step out of the Cold Pool, his figure moving toward Cloud Sword Palace like a gentle breeze.

"Has your cultivation ended, disciple?"

Xiao Rang sensed Lin Heng's arrival and spoke with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Heng and nodded in satisfaction. "No wonder you returned a little late today. I never expected you to have already cultivated Bronze Head Iron Arms. Since that is the case, you may now take Essence Pills to increase your cultivation."

He rose and went to the storeroom, taking out the Essence Pills that had been refined a few days earlier.

Over the past period, Cloud Sword Palace had continuously gathered materials for refining Essence Pills. Unfortunately, even after exhausting every effort, they had only collected eight sets of materials and refined eight Essence Pills.

Yet even though they had only refined eight Essence Pills, Cloud Sword Palace had spent an enormous sum.

The raw materials for a single Essence Pill cost five hundred thousand taels. These Essence Pills were worth more than four million taels of silver.

However, the effects of the Essence Pills were also powerful.

One Essence Pill could provide a Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist with the immense blood and qi needed to fill twenty Acupoints. Furthermore, it could increase the speed at which a Martial Artist absorbed and Refined Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, fully justifying its price of five hundred thousand taels.

"Disciple, Refine these Essence Pills as soon as possible."

"Once you have finished refining them, you need not return to the Cold Pool to cultivate. Your master will use the Hundred Schools Martial Arts to feed you moves and improve your Combat experience."

Xiao Rang casually handed over a Jade Box, as though he were not giving Lin Heng precious pills worth four million taels, but merely a box of Ordinary candy beans.

Over the past two years, he had already spent a great deal of money on Lin Heng. Another four million now made little difference.
