Fang Clan, Rain-Listening Pavilion.
Fang Han was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a long aura all over his body, and the light cyan Internal Qi was flowing endlessly among the six Acupoints places.
The Internal Qi in Shenshu's orifice has been filled to more than 90%, and the bulging feeling is becoming more and more obvious. There is only one step away from the invisible barrier leading to Seventh Rank.
After several hours of high-intensity practice, I felt a faint swelling and pain in my meridians.
Fang Han knows that this is a sign that the meridians are overloaded. The way of cultivation is to relax and relax appropriately, and too much is not enough.
Slowly withdrawing his power, Fang Han opened his eyes, and a green light flashed in his eyes.
He got up and got out of bed, moved his somewhat stiff muscles, and the joints made a slight crackling sound.
When he came to the courtyard, he was going to practice martial arts for a while.
Now <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> and <Wind Shadow Step> are both Greater Accomplishment. After reaching Mastery Realm in any martial arts, if you want to improve, you need not only proficiency in the moves, but also a deeper understanding of the essence of martial arts.
Every bit of progress requires more effort and time to figure out and verify, and the difficulty more than doubles.
Countless warriors with insufficient talent have been stuck here their entire lives, unable to glimpse Perfection Realm.
With his sixteen-fold increase in talent Sword Technique and Footwork Talent, there is naturally no shortage of talent.
However, it is inevitable that the cultivation speed will be much slower than before. It is expected to take about two months to break through to the Perfection Realm.
Thinking that many warriors with insufficient talent would not be able to the Perfection Realm even if they practiced for a lifetime, he was relieved by the slowdown in their cultivation speed.
After practicing <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> for a while, Fang Han started practicing <Wind Shadow Step>.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
His figure turned into a light cyan shadow, sometimes like Breeze Brushing Willow, elusive, sometimes like lightning, appearing and disappearing suddenly.
Greater Accomplishment level "Wind Momentum" lingers around his feet, making his movements follow a natural rhythm, silent but extremely fast.
"Master Han."
A Maid quietly came to the courtyard gate and saw Fang Han turned into a series of afterimages. He was extremely shocked. After a while, he came back to his senses and called out softly.
"The New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin. Madam has asked your servant to invite you over."
Fang Han Hearing this, he slowly stopped his movements, and a faint heat evaporated from his body.
He nodded. "I know, I'll be there later."
After simply washing up and putting on a brand new cyan robe specially customized for him by Lineage, Fang Han walked out of the room and met his parents and Younger Sister who had been waiting for him.
Fang Ying was wearing a brand-new red cotton-padded jacket with two small hairpins, his face was red, and he excitedly held Fang Han's hand. "Brother, hurry up and hurry up, I heard there are a lot of delicious food tonight!"
Fang Zheng and Lin Wan also had festive joy on their faces, but underneath that joy, there was still a trace of hidden worry caused by the Lineage incident.
The family walked out of the Rain-Listening Pavilion and walked towards the grand banquet hall in the center of Lineage, which is only opened during major festivals.
Along the way, they met many tribesmen who were also going to the banquet hall, and these tribesmen all greeted them warmly.
"Brother Zheng, Sister-in-law Wan."
"Xiaohan, long time no see, you are even more cheerful than before!"
"..."
The tone was full of flattery and awe.
When his eyes fell on Fang Han, his envy and respect were unabashed.
Arriving at the brightly lit banquet hall, the hall was already bustling with people and filled with a noisy festive atmosphere.
Dozens of mahogany Round Table are arranged in an orderly manner, and the main table in the center is the exclusive seat for Clan Head Fang Lingyuan and several powerful Elder.
Butler Fang Zhong had sharp eyes and saw the Fang Han family from a distance. He immediately ran towards them with a smile on his face, and his attitude was more respectful and attentive than last year.
"Master Han, Master Zheng, Mrs. Wan, Miss Ying, you are here! Please come quickly, the seats have been prepared!"
He first respectfully led Fang Zheng, Lin Wan and Fang Ying to sit down at the core seat next to the main table. Sitting at that table were all Lineage's meritorious veterans and powerful figures.
In previous years, their family would never have been qualified to sit here.
Afterwards, Fang Zhong bowed and led Fang Han straight to the central and most distinguished main table.
"Master Han, your seat is here. Clan Head and Elder specially ordered it."
Fang Han sat down calmly, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
With his current strength in the late Grade Eight, he is qualified to sit at this table, so he does not feel uncomfortable at all.
In some seats near the back of the core seats, Fang Hong, Fang Xue and other former companions of the Inner Hall looked at Fang Han, who was now seated with Clan Head and core Elder and whose status was extremely respected, with complicated eyes.
There was admiration, envy, and a hint of unspeakable surprise.
A year ago, everyone was still practicing at the Inner Hall. At the beginning, many people's rankings in the inner courtyard were higher than Fang Han.
Even if Fang Han later catches up, although there is a gap, it is not insurmountable.
Now, Fang Han has soared into the sky and reached the height they need to look up to.
Life's encounters are truly unpredictable.
Soon after, Clan Head and the four core members Elder arrived, the atmosphere reached its hottest moment, and the banquet officially began.
A sumptuous and lively New Year's Eve dinner was spent in a noisy and festive atmosphere.
The exchange of glasses of wine, laughter and chatter seemed to have temporarily dispelled the haze facing Lineage.
After the banquet, Fang Han returned to the Rain-Listening Pavilion with his family.
He did not participate in the New Year's Eve chat, but went straight back to his room.
Outside the window, there were faint sounds of sporadic firecrackers and the laughter of children, exaggerating the atmosphere of the New Year.
But Fang Han's heart quickly calmed down.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes again, and let his mind sink into his body.
Inside Shenshu's orifice, Internal Qi is surging, already overflowing to over 95%, and the invisible barrier leading to Seventh Rank has become clear.
"You should be able to Internal Qi fill your Shenshu hole tonight!"
Fang Han was determined in his heart and guided Internal Qi to start another round of practice.
Time passes quietly in cultivation, and the New Year is quietly approaching.
As midnight approached, several small fireworks began to explode sporadically in the sky above Liangshui City. Red and green colors bloomed briefly in the dark blue night sky.
It was immediately annihilated, leaving behind a faint smell of sulfur, mixed with the biting cold wind, and drifted into thousands of homes.
Fang Han sits cross-legged, highly concentrated.
The light cyan Internal Qi was flowing endlessly, running in the circulation system composed of six Acupointss, emitting a low roar that only he could hear.
In Shenshu's orifice, Internal Qi is almost overflowing, and there is a faint feeling of bulging.
When a wealthy family somewhere in the city lights up thousands of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the crackling sound of the firecrackers spreads throughout the city like beating war drums.
The Shenshu orifice inside Fang Han was finally filled by Internal Qi.
The extremely filled Internal Qi flows out spontaneously, like a torrent that has been gathering momentum for a long time, rushing towards the next Acupoints--Laogong Acupoint.
"Boom!"
Internal Qi hit an invisible but extremely tough barrier.
It is much stronger than Eighth-rank early stage in the middle of the impact and Grade Eight in the middle of the impact and in the late stage.
This is the Seventh Rank bottleneck!
Subordinate Eighth Rank to Seventh Rank is a big hurdle in the Inner Qi Realm. It is another leap in the level of life. The barrier is so strong that it is far from comparable to the previous small realm breakthroughs.
Fang Han remembers clearly that when he first attacked Eighth-rank early stage from Ninth-rank late stage, he spent several days of hard work before finally breaking through.
However, today is different from the past.
Earth Heart Stone Milk's marrow cleansing by the I Ching has greatly improved his bones.
At this moment, with this greatly improved root bone, under the terrifying increase of thirty-two times, his cultivation efficiency was pushed to an incredible situation.
Internal Qi is like a tireless giant hammer, condensing majestic power and continuously bombarding the chasm-like barrier with a stable and violent frequency.
Every impact caused the barrier to tremble slightly and create ripples.
Although I don't know how long it will take, I guess it won't take as long as several days.
The sound of firecrackers became more and more intensive, and more and more fireworks took off into the sky, rendering Liangshui City's night sky colorful. The light and shadow passed through the window paper, and flickered on Fang Han's calm face.
His mind was calm, without any disturbance, he just guided Internal Qi accurately, guiding Internal Qi to hit the barrier.
Half an hour later.
When a cluster of particularly gorgeous golden fireworks burst into bloom at the highest point, turning into streams of fire that filled the sky -
"Crack!"
A clear cracking sound, originating from the depths of the origin of life, sounded from Fang Han's body!
Seventh Rank bottleneck, broken!
The surging Internal Qi, which has been accumulated for a long time, is like a sea bursting from a dam, instantly overwhelming the remaining obstacles, and pouring crazily into the newly opened Laogong orifice with unprecedented joy.
In an instant, the aura around Fang Han suddenly surged.
Qi Sea, Guan Yuan, Life Gate, Zhongfu, Stomach Meridian, Shenshu, Laogong, and seven Acupoints were completely connected, building a more complex, more stable, and more efficient Internal Qi circulation bridge.
The speed of Internal Qi's running speed increases sharply, the color becomes deeper, almost ink-green, and the texture is as condensed as mercury slurry. The sense of power brought by the flow is far superior to that of the later period of Grade Eight, which is a qualitative leap.
The bones made a dense explosion, the blood surged like a river, and the internal organs seemed to be washed and nourished by a new vitality.
And with the penetration of Laogong, a new Divine Treasury - "Iron Arm" also opened.
Fang Han felt his arms sink slightly, and a steady and hard force quietly blended into the skeletal fascia, as if invisible molten metal was injected, causing the bone density and muscle strength of both arms to instantly increase by several levels.
Without Internal Qi perfusion, you can feel a faint metallic texture coming from under the skin of both arms, and the hardness increases sharply.
Open this Divine Treasury, and your arms will gain extraordinary toughness.
With the blessing of Internal Qi, its hardness is comparable to that of hundreds of refined steel, strong enough to withstand swords, and difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords.
"Seventh Rank, it's done!"
Fang Han slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of dark green light flowed deep in the pupils, and then disappeared.
He gently clenched his fists, feeling the powerful Internal Qi running like a dragon in his body, which was far beyond the past, and the heavy and solid strength of his arms, which seemed to be able to crush gold and iron. The corners of his mouth raised a slight arc uncontrollably.
"It only took half an hour!"
It only took half an hour from touching the Seventh Rank bottleneck to the final breakthrough.
This speed, if spread, would be enough to silence the entire Liangshui City, no, the entire Qingyang Prefecture warriors.
He slowly raised his right hand, brought his index and middle fingers together, and lightly hit the hard sandalwood table next to him.
"Pfft."
There was a dull sound, and the tabletop was directly pierced by his finger, leaving a hole as thick as two fingers.
Fang Han's eyes were slightly bright, and he was quite satisfied with the effect of "Iron Arm".
Immediately, the arc at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, turning into a hint of coldness.
"The agreement with Clan Head has been reached!"
His eyes were calm, but there was a sharpness in his eyes, like a sword hidden in a sheath, quietly revealed.
Breaking through Seventh Rank, the agreement with Clan Head has been reached.
Then, it is time to completely liquidate Lin Family, the scourge that caused many casualties to the Fang Clan's clan members.
