Long Wind Heart Method Breakthrough

Night fell.

Changfeng Escort Agency.

Inside a room.

Meng Qingshan had entered a state of Internal Cultivation, fully focused on guiding True Qi through the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.

After completing one Small Heavenly Circuit, he unexpectedly gained 12 cultivation points this time.

Even more pleasantly surprising, this session of Internal Cultivation had not only increased his cultivation points, but also shortened the time needed to circulate a Small Heavenly Circuit from an hour to around fifty minutes.

Seeing that the medicine's effects remained, Meng Qingshan naturally would not waste them lightly.

He immediately closed his eyes without hesitation, entered a state of Internal Vision once more, and continued this tedious journey of cultivation.

[You guided True Qi through the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian to complete one Small Heavenly Circuit. Long Wind Heart Method gained 12 cultivation points!]

When another line of translucent blue text appeared, Meng Qingshan opened his eyes and brought up the information panel for Long Wind Heart Method. The cultivation progress of this internal art immediately appeared before him:

-- 'Progress: 54 points (accumulate 567 (708) cultivation points to break through to the next level)'

The information panel showed that cultivating Long Wind Heart Method to the fourth level required three times as much cultivation as the first level.

If he relied on daily meditation and Internal Cultivation, progressing step by step, then even with the effects of Tiger Bone Qi Boosting Wine, he would still need nearly a month of grueling practice.

Fortunately, he could gain cultivation by killing Wild Monsters. Otherwise, relying on hard cultivation alone, who knew when he would be able to train Long Wind Heart Method to the sixth level?

Today, he had killed two Wild Beasts in the mountains and gained a total of 2,500 cultivation points.

These cultivation points were clearly enough for him to train Long Wind Heart Method to the sixth level.

Meng Qingshan had never been careless when it came to cultivation. Since he had accumulated enough cultivation, naturally he had to use it.

With a thought, he poured 513 cultivation points into Long Wind Heart Method.

[You consumed 513 cultivation points. Long Wind Heart Method meets the breakthrough requirements for the fourth level. Would you like to break through?]

Yes!

Meng Qingshan decisively chose to break through his internal art.

[The path of Martial Dao is like rowing against the current: if you do not advance, you fall behind. You persevered through diligent and arduous training, breaking Long Wind Heart Method from the third level to the fourth level. Inner Breath +1, Physique +1, Chi Force +1, Insight +1.]

The moment the notification flashed before his eyes, wisps of invisible heat flowed from Meng Qingshan's lower abdomen, raced through the Meridians throughout his body, and finally returned to settle within his Dantian Origin.

Looking at the remaining 1,787 cultivation points, Meng Qingshan once again poured them into Long Wind Heart Method without hesitation.

[You consumed 788 cultivation points. Long Wind Heart Method meets the breakthrough requirements for the fifth level. Would you like to break through?]

Yes!

[The path of Martial Dao is like rowing against the current: if you do not advance, you fall behind. You persevered through diligent and arduous training, breaking Long Wind Heart Method from the fourth level to the fifth level. Inner Breath +1, Physique +1.]

[You consumed 1,055 cultivation points. Long Wind Heart Method meets the breakthrough requirements for the sixth level. Would you like to break through?]

Yes!

The instant Meng Qingshan clicked "Yes," he suddenly felt a blazing heat rise from his lower abdomen. This sensation was completely different from his previous breakthroughs.

Rather than following the path of the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, the heat curled up within his lower abdomen and spiraled continuously.

As the heat spun faster and faster within his lower abdomen, Meng Qingshan felt its warmth gradually spread through his entire body, as though he were enveloped by a warm current.

Yet this warmth did not make him uncomfortable. Instead, it left his whole body feeling relaxed and incomparably clear.

Meng Qingshan was now utterly immersed in this state, his mind wandering beyond his body, free of all distractions.

In his hazy state, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and found it difficult to breathe. He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

In an instant, Meng Qingshan's lips parted slightly, and a stream of murky red-and-black air slowly escaped from his mouth.

As the foul air left his body, Meng Qingshan clearly sensed some invisible restraint within him suddenly shatter with a crisp cracking sound.

A long-lost sense of freshness and ease flooded his chest, like sweet rain after a long drought.

When he opened his Eyes, the night still shrouded everything before him, yet the world he perceived seemed clearer in the darkness, its outlines sharper and more distinct.

Clearly, this was the beneficial effect brought by Long Wind Heart Method's breakthrough.

Meng Qingshan clearly sensed that the nerves of his Five Senses had seemingly been strengthened, becoming even more acute.

He lowered his gaze and saw two lines of translucent blue text in the notification panel:

[The path of Martial Dao is like rowing against the current: if you do not advance, you fall behind. You persevered through diligent and arduous training, breaking Long Wind Heart Method from the fifth level to the sixth level. Inner Breath +1, Physique +1, Chi Force +1, Insight +1.]

[You have achieved success in cultivating Long Wind Heart Method, activating 'Dantian Origin—Shenque Acupoint' and comprehending the Basic Skill—"Regulate Breath."]

After glancing over the two notifications, Meng Qingshan first opened the Attribute Panel for Long Wind Heart Method:
