This was the first time he had experienced such a state while cultivating his inner power. With no one to guide him, Meng Qingshan could only endure it in silence, not daring to move recklessly.

As the True Qi in his dantian gradually settled, the itching sensation quietly faded away.

Only then did Meng Qingshan slowly open his eyes and begin carefully examining his body.

He gingerly undid the bandage on his shoulder. What met his eyes was a dark brown scab.

Meng Qingshan lightly touched it, and the palm-sized scab immediately fell off, hitting the ground hard and breaking into several pieces.

Staring at the smooth, fair skin on his shoulder, Meng Qingshan was first a little stunned. Then an idea quickly surfaced in his mind.

He moved his shoulder slightly and found that he could move it without any difficulty, so he tore off all the bandages on his body without hesitation.

Just as he had expected.

After Long Wind Heart Method broke through to the twelfth layer, the injuries on his body had been completely healed. The strange itching he had felt just now had been a sign that his wounds were healing.

Meng Qingshan was overjoyed. With a thought, he summoned his Character Panel:

-------- Character: Meng Qingshan Blood Qi Value: 180/180 True Qi Value: 115/115 Cultivation: 209 External Skills: Physique 18, Strength 13, Agility 3 Internal Skills: Inner Breath 23, Chi Force 8, Insight 11 Dantian Meridians: [Shenque Acupoint]--+5 Inner Breath, +2 Chi Force. Basic Skills: "Regulate Breath" Martial Arts Illustrated Book: Click for details! --------

The Character Panel showed clearly that not only had Meng Qingshan's injuries healed, but his Blood Qi Value had also increased significantly. It was now nearing the 200 mark.

Even more notably, his True Qi Value had nearly doubled. This improvement was truly gratifying.

After Long Wind Heart Method had broken through several times in a row, Meng Qingshan's accumulated cultivation of more than ten thousand points had nearly run out. It seemed he would have to spend some time accumulating more.

Meng Qingshan then opened the Martial Arts Illustrated Book and brought up the Attribute Panel for Long Wind Heart Method, which had just broken through to the twelfth layer:

-------- Martial Art: Long Wind Heart Method Affiliation: Changfeng Escort Agency Grade: Common (Green) Mastery: 12 layers (can be cultivated up to 24 layers) Progress: 0 points (accumulate 4678 cultivation points to break through to the next layer) Meridians: Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian Bonuses: Inner Breath +18, Chi Force +6, Physique +12, Insight +6 Special Effects: [Ride the Wind] Using inner power against an opponent increases move damage by 20%; [Flowing Wind] When taking damage, Body Protecting True Qi can be activated. Consuming a certain amount of True Qi can reduce the damage taken by 20%. --------

There had not been much change to Long Wind Heart Method. Overall, its stats had increased as expected.

Only its inner power special effects had changed somewhat.

First, the inner power special effect Ride the Wind, which he had gained at the sixth layer, now increased damage by 20% instead of 10% after the technique broke through to the twelfth layer.

Next, a new inner power special effect, Flowing Wind, had been added. It was a defensive effect; judging by the panel, it could consume True Qi to reduce damage by 20%.

Seeing this, Meng Qingshan felt a little regretful. The special effects of Changfeng Escort Agency's family-inherited cultivation method are actually pretty good. Too bad it's only a green-grade martial art. If its grade were a little higher, this inner power technique might have lasted me through the entire game.

In fact, in the game Wulin Qixia Zhuan, special effects on inner power methods were more important than bonuses.

Although a good set of stats could raise the minimum potential of an inner power method, good special effects could raise its maximum potential.

If he had to explain it, the only answer was that bonus stats were fixed, but the percentages from inner power special effects kept changing along with the character's stats.

After exiting Long Wind Heart Method's information panel, Meng Qingshan looked at Nine Forms of Swift Saber, which had just been added to the Martial Arts Illustrated Book today, and opened it.

Since this was only a green-grade martial art, it took just 175 cultivation points to reach the first layer.

Meng Qingshan remembered that he had exactly 209 cultivation points left in the Cultivation Bar on his Character Panel.

Intent on converting all his remaining cultivation into strength, Meng Qingshan poured 175 cultivation points into the cultivation bar for Nine Forms of Swift Saber.

A glimmer flashed across the progress bar for the saber technique. It was the sign that a martial art had broken through.

Suddenly, many memories of practicing saber techniques appeared in Meng Qingshan's mind.

He closed his eyes and focused. A stream of memories quietly flowed into the depths of his mind.

At that moment, Meng Qingshan's consciousness seemed to have stepped into a mysterious realm, where hazy mist drifted all around him.

But whenever he formed a thought, the mist lifted gently like a veil, revealing vivid scenes of saber techniques being practiced.

He seemed to see himself practicing basic saber techniques, sweating profusely through countless days and nights.

He strove for precision in every movement and swiftness in every turn.

He saw himself persistently swinging the saber in his hand in the wind, in the rain, and even across the snow-covered ground.

The blade glimmered through the hazy mist like the brightest star in the night sky.

To be honest, this was the first time Meng Qingshan had poured cultivation into a martial art technique.

The effect left Meng Qingshan deeply shaken.
