Breaking Through Limits Physique, Indian Divine Oil

"So, to go further on the Martial Artist path, I need to break through the Seven Limits of the Physical Body?"

Qin Shi mulled it over.

The reason why the Martial God inheritances had such harsh conditions and incredibly high thresholds was because the original inheritors were too powerful themselves, having broken free from the shackles of their mortal bodies and undergone a life transformation.

Dongxia's territory was unprecedentedly vast, covering almost half the Galactic, and from an immeasurable population base, each Martial God stood out as a legend!

Their experiences and achievements were difficult for later generations to imitate.

Their experience and knowledge were also impossible for later generations to fully adopt.

Therefore, Ning Yuanhai, who shone throughout the era before and after Yan Haishan, his True Scripture of All Ages could only lie in the Imperial Capital National Museum as an exhibit, rather than a textbook for cultivating Martial God seeds.

Especially with the rise of the New Martial Arts faction, the Old Martial Arts inheritances became increasingly useless, with low applicability and promotion value.

"That's right. Setting aside other unconventional shortcuts and dangerous unorthodox paths. The Seven Limits of the Physical Body is the only legitimate way to significantly increase vitality, a fact even the New Martial Arts faction has to admit. In the last ten years, related research topics for Martial Artists, such as how to break through human limitations using life technology, have always been the hottest projects for swindling research funds."

Old Liang, smoking a cigarette, led Qin Shi through a maze of streets to Shenyang Street, south of Old Factory Street.

The storefronts on both sides were uniformly decorated with car wash and tire repair signs, and workers in work clothes were busy disassembling tires and performing maintenance.

"Master Liang, if there are no divine skills to teach, can you at least give me some pills or secret treasures? Otherwise, relying solely on Cultivation Methods and Fighting Styles to break through the major limits of the physical body will be too slow. I'm not young anymore; after my birthday, I'll be eighteen, practically half my foot in the grave."

Looking at Old Liang walking ahead, Qin Shi couldn't help but say. After all, the Old Martial Arts faction had a glorious past; since the master-disciple relationship was confirmed, he should at least give him some golden coins!

"There is no order to the Seven Limits of the Physical Body. Your main advantage lies in your strong sinews and well-proportioned, sturdy bone structure. So, we will proceed in the order of sinews first, then bones, aiming to break through two limits."

Old Liang ignored his overly ambitious disciple, who was always thinking about his meager possessions. If Qin Shi was half his foot in the grave at eighteen, then Old Liang would have yellow earth up to his neck?

"I brought you here today to help you take another step forward, to see if you can knock on the door of the sinew limit."

Old Liang ducked into a dark, gloomy alley, its red brick walls plastered with various small advertisements. Most were about urinary system issues and men's hidden pains, with occasional fake messages about wealthy women seeking pregnancy with hefty rewards.

Another step forward? Breaking through the ten-point vitality threshold!

Qin Shi, filled with excitement, followed Old Liang closely as they stopped in front of a pharmacy. He looked up, and the bright red characters "Indian Divine Oil" caught his eye. The left aluminum sliding door read "Conscientious Direct Sales," and the right read "Men's Gospel." Next door was the "Love Rendezvous Hotel," offering foot massages, massages, and essential oil back treatments with room rentals – it didn't look very reputable.

"Master Liang, does your Old Martial Arts faction particularly favor this kind of place? Can't we learn from the New Martial Arts faction and find somewhere high-end and sophisticated?"

Qin Shi almost couldn't hold back his laughter. What kind of respectable master and disciple went to foot massage parlors and bought divine oils every day?

"The greatest reclusion is in the marketplace! Don't you think about how many people Old Factory Street supported during its prime? Everyone rushed to the east district of Dangyang, crowding together to do business and make a living. The best medical environment and top hypnotists in Hengzhou might be in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area or the central city. But the most cost-effective clinics and the most skilled technicians are definitely here."

Old Liang wore a look of disdain, as if thinking, "My disciple is truly ignorant," and pushed open the door first, stepping inside.

Life is not easy, Qin Shi sighed. Who could he blame when he truly lacked financial resources and came from a poor family? His classmates in the metropolitan elite class frequented training centers daily, enjoying professional therapists and nutritionists. As for him, he was downgraded to foot massage technicians and sellers of divine oils. The disparity in life was too obvious!

"Old Liang! Why are you here? Finally decided to find a companion?!"

A rough, booming voice, full of energy, sounded like a broken gong, even overpowering the seductive sounds from inside the store. Qin Shi's gaze swept over the old television, which was playing an adult-restricted film.

Watching porn with the doors closed in broad daylight, the boss is quite a character, he thought.

His gaze swept across the cramped interior, piled high with various odds and ends.

The counter was stacked with yellowed, old-fashioned paper novels, and the walls were adorned with posters of women in qipaos. Behind a bulky, boxy computer, a man in a bathrobe with gaunt, pale cheeks sat.

He looked frail and sickly, yet his voice was surprisingly full of energy?

The man in the bathrobe reached for the remote, pausing a yellow videotape at a crucial moment:

"Why did you bring a kid? Hey, Old Liang, this shop is compliant and legal. We absolutely do not sell any adult products to minors."

"I'm not here to chat idly. Old Gu, I want a bottle of the best, authentic Indian Divine Oil. Don't try to fool me."

Old Liang got straight to the point, pulling a wad of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and slapping them on the counter.

"Whoa, you're quite generous! Old Liang, have you found a suitable prospect?"

The man in the bathrobe unceremoniously scratched his crotch, then licked his finger before starting to count the money.

"I don't have much stock left, only three bottles. That region in India is an autonomous area. Although it's under Dongxia's administrative jurisdiction, I have to be careful of customs every time I get new stock... I'll sell it to you for four thousand a bottle, not expensive. You're still short eight hundred, you see?"

Old Liang's eyes widened:

"Wasn't it three thousand two before?"

The man in the bathrobe sighed helplessly:

"Hengzhou only has one interstellar route per month. You need to verify your identity to buy a ticket and board. Those damn bureaucrats have been enforcing traffic blockades for over a decade since the explosion at the Old City District military factory.

These few bottles have been sitting here for a long time. Four thousand a bottle is already the cost price. It's only because of our deep friendship; for anyone else, I wouldn't hesitate to sell it for seven thousand."

Old Liang turned and looked at Qin Shi:

"How much do you have on you?"

Qin Shi replied truthfully:

"Three thousand five hundred and thirteen."

The ten thousand yuan given by Big Sister naturally couldn't all be carried on him; only a portion was kept for emergencies and daily expenses.

Old Liang turned back to the man in the bathrobe and stated resolutely, driving down the price:

"Seven thousand for two bottles."

Just as the man in the bathrobe was about to shake his head and refuse, Old Liang interrupted:

"Old Gu, you won't be able to sell this stuff anyway. The New Martial Arts sects play with injections and supplements, injecting energy fluids. Who still uses India's 'Golden Elixir'?

It doesn't even have a drug inspection certificate. If you try to sell this in the metropolitan area, you'll be reported by competitors, and you'll be caught red-handed!"

The man in the bathrobe's expression flickered slightly, then after a moment, he relented:

"Fine, seven thousand for two bottles. Consider it a favor. Once I save enough money, I'll definitely buy a ticket and get out of here. This cursed place, Hengzhou, is too much for me!"

He lifted the curtain and went into the back room, taking a long time to return.

It seemed he had been rummaging through cabinets and drawers, his bathrobe covered in dust.

"Two bottles of Golden Elixir, definitely authentic Indian product. The cost price alone is over seven thousand. If it were the Old Martial Arts era, people would buy it for twenty thousand a bottle!"

The man in the bathrobe winced as if he were cutting off a piece of himself, clearly pained.

Old Liang didn't say much more. He and Qin Shi pooled the seven thousand yuan, and he tucked the glass bottle wrapped in silk cloth into his embrace.

"Thanks, Old Gu."

The man in the bathrobe grumbled:

"Get lost, don't disturb my handicraft."

After Old Liang and Qin Shi turned to leave, he couldn't help but add:

"The best way to use Golden Elixir isn't for external application. It's to boil it into a thick, steaming liquid, and while it's still hot, apply it to your back and abdomen, then sit in a bathtub and heat it up to promote absorption.

This step is called 'burning the sinews.' That old monk who sold it to me told me.

If your disciple can endure the hardship, you might as well try it and see if he can burn out a 'Dragon Sinew'."

Old Liang nodded and closed the door.

After they left the quiet, deserted alley, he began to speak:

"This man's name is 'Gu Nanting.' His name sounds elegant. He's originally from Haizhou and his family was very wealthy. His mother was replaced by a mistress, and he was kicked out. His father was quite heartless, cutting off his livelihood as well.

Fortunately, Old Gu attended a good school and had a talent for languages. He dropped out midway and followed ships, so he didn't starve to death.

It's a shame his luck is bad. He spent all his fortune stocking up on a batch of medicine from India, planning to make a fortune by riding the wave of the New Star development. But then the military factory exploded, and Hengzhou blockaded its external routes. Only the state-run spaceship that departs once a month could take off."

Military factory explosion?

Qin Shi frowned, retrieving the memory.

It happened a long time ago, supposedly a fire at the 420 Military Factory, which produced components for divine mechanisms.

"In the last few years, the Tai'an Metropolitan Area has relaxed some restrictions and started free trade. Many people say that it was that explosion that caused Hengzhou to fall to the bottom of the administrative new stars."

Old Liang explained, then led Qin Shi to Jinse Impression, where they had been last time, and asked the manager, Sister Hong, with the big wavy hair, to prepare a private room.

He opened the glass bottle wrapped in silk cloth. Inside was a golden, gelatinous substance, greasy and thick like fat.

"This is 'Golden Elixir' from India, extracted from the belly of the 'Three-Eyed Crocodile'.

In the Old Martial Arts era, the masters of the great sects loved using it to nourish their sinews.

Our Hong Sheng's most outstanding limit-breaking physique consists of 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Kirin Strength' and 'Bee Waist Ape Arm Mantis Leg'.

One is internal, the other is external.

For the latter, you're not far off; just focus on improving your Cultivation Method.

For the former, you'll have to endure some hardship."

Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone?

It sounds incredibly potent!

Qin Shi was impatient. As the legendary Endurance King, what hardship couldn't he endure?

"Bring it on, Master Liang! Please don't go easy on me just because I'm young! Train me hard!"
