For several days in a row, Jiang Liu sat cross-legged to the side meditating and cultivating, ignoring the women's cultivation. If they didn't understand something, he told them to go and ask someone who did!
As for those three young monks who were just doing odd jobs, it seems they really are destined to be menial laborers. After studying for several days in a row, they still haven't memorized all the moves!
Seven days passed peacefully like this, during which people continued to come looking for the monk, but Jiang Liu always sent them away as before!
That evening, Jiang Liu left the courtyard alone and found a secluded spot. He sat cross-legged on the ground.
Because he was about to break through to the Seventh Grade, Jiang Liu was afraid that the pressure he released during the breakthrough would be too strong and might accidentally injure them!
The most important sign of reaching the Seventh Grade is the transformation of vital energy into liquid within the body!
Previously, the vital energy was in a gaseous state. Now, the gas needs to be compressed and transformed into a liquid. Once all the gas in the body has been transformed into liquid, one can begin the process of breaking through to the Grandmaster level.
However, Jiang Liu didn't need to pay attention to any of that. As long as his vital energy reached the advancement requirements, the system would help him advance!
The vital energy within the Jiang Liu belongs to different attributes, making its transformation much more difficult than cultivating a single attribute. However, to break through from the Subordinate Ninth Rank to the grandmaster level, cultivating a single attribute requires even more time to replenish at least all Five Elements Primal Qi before a breakthrough can be achieved!
Therefore, it's unclear which of these two cultivation methods is better or worse. However, for Jiang Liu, cultivating all nine methods simultaneously is definitely the best. Because he's overpowered!
As for what I heard from Brother Hai before, that no one in the Jianghu cultivates multiple attributes, that's because those who cultivate more than two attributes are all busy cultivating, so they don't have time to wander around!
Those who emerge are all at least Grandmasters. Because those who dare to cultivate several attributes from the start are being groomed to become Grandmasters!
After all, there were no Grandmasters in the entire Cloud Sun City, so where would they learn these secrets? Jiang Liu learned them from the auxiliary panel!
Jiang Liu circulated the mental technique again and again, until finally a sharp pain shot through his body, as if all his strength had been drained away. The vital energy within his body spun faster and faster, as if it were about to stick together.
It gradually turned into a sphere, initially the size of a tennis ball, then compressed to the size of a golf ball, and finally to the size of a ping-pong ball before it couldn't be compressed any further!
After spinning for about half an hour, suddenly a stream of vital energy appeared out of nowhere and merged into the sphere. Jiang Liu knew this was feedback from the system!
Finally, a drop of liquid-like Essence Particles escaped from the sphere and adhered to its surface. The moment the liquid appeared, an uncontrollable pressure enveloped the surroundings, turning everything around into powder—a cloud of dust that swirled and rose into the sky!
The moment the liquid appeared, the pain inside Jiang Liu disappeared, and a wave of comfort spread throughout his body. The heavy pressure on his body seemed to have been greatly reduced, as if one of the shackles on his body had been removed!
Jiang Liu knew this was a further step towards becoming inhuman. This was the true secret of cultivation: forging ordinary mortals into superhuman beings.
A person's lifespan increases with their cultivation level. Generally, a first-grade martial artist can live to be over 150 years old. A grandmaster can live to be over 300 years old. Therefore, people on this continent are desperately cultivating in order to live longer, unless they are truly lacking in talent.
Of course, those who pursue quick results and cause physical damage are an exception! That's why Jiang Liu lays a solid foundation so that he can climb to a higher peak in martial arts in the future.
After meditating for a while, Jiang Liu dispersed his consciousness and found that he could "see" movements within a range of at least 150 meters, which was a huge difference.
You should know that a Seventh Grade consciousness can only cover a range of 100 meters at most! This is 50 meters more than theirs, which is a bit terrifying! He glanced at the sapling he had been carrying on his back and his heart was filled with joy!
Using the Wind Walk, he could instantly reach a range of tens of meters with a single thought! Combined with the Ice Blade, hehe! Jiang Liu's face broke into a sinister grin as he imagined the possibilities!
After channeling the liquid energy from the sphere into my meridians, I immediately felt a lightness in my body. I used the Wind Walk and found that my speed had increased significantly, but I couldn't fly!
Jiang Liu was frustrated. After thinking about it, he realized that the problem was probably with his technique. After all, he had learned the technique from the Fallen Blossom Gang, and the level was not high enough. Or perhaps he needed a special technique to fly!
Jiang Liu was deeply disappointed, thinking he would be able to fly through the air from now on! In fact, Jiang Liu was overthinking it. Even if a martial artist reaches the Seventh Grade, they will not fly unless absolutely necessary, because they cannot afford to consume their vital energy!
Only grandmasters can achieve long-duration flight! But with Jiang Liu's extraordinary energy, it's hard to say.
Jiang Liu didn't stay outside for long before returning to the courtyard to continue meditating and refining the Primal Qi Liquid!
With a thought, a deep blue light screen appeared.

Whew! Jiang Liu took a deep breath! After all this time, he'd finally reached the Seventh Grade! At least now, back in Cloud Sun City, there shouldn't be anyone who could threaten him!
However, a small city like Cloud Sun City is indeed not suitable for development. Even though Qian Luoying dominated Cloud Sun City for so long, it was still easily wiped out by others!
Although an eighteen-year-old Seventh Rank Martial Practitioner is rare in the Jianghu, only by constantly striving and standing at the pinnacle of time can one achieve true freedom! Jiang Liu was absolutely clear about this!
