The courtyard returned to silence.
Fang Han's gaze fell on the four wooden boxes. He took a deep breath and sat down at the stone table.
He took out a rare and precious herb that could enhance one's Secret Art Talent.
The Eight-Petaled Purple Lotus melted in my mouth, transforming into a cool, refreshing stream that rushed deep into my brain.
It felt as if a clear spring was flowing through my mind, and my understanding of the secret techniques was becoming clearer and more profound at an indescribable speed.
The effects of the medicine wore off after an hour.
Without pausing, he picked up the Dark Green fruit again and put it in his mouth.
After consuming the second rare and precious herb, the changes in his brain became increasingly noticeable.
His already extraordinary Secret Art Talent rose even higher.
" His Secret Art Talent should already be on par with his physical constitution Sword Technique."
Fang Han opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing in them.
His talents are well-rounded in all aspects, with no single talent being particularly outstanding.
Now that he has activated the five amplification talents, the Secret Art Talent should have caught up with the Constitution and Sword Technique talents.
"Next is Body Movement Talent."
Fang Han picked up the first rare and precious herb that could enhance his Body Movement Talent: the silvery-white Seven-Leaf Spirit Herb.
Upon tasting the herb, a strange sense of lightness rose from my stomach, surged through my limbs and bones, and finally gathered in my feet.
That feeling was as if one's feet had become more agile, more suitable for the practice of Body Movement.
One plant, two plants, three plants.
After consuming the third rare herb that enhanced his Body Movement Talent, Fang Han felt his feet become incredibly nimble, reaching an unprecedented level.
" His Body Movement Talent constitution and Sword Technique."
Fang Han muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the third wooden box.
The three rare and precious herbs that enhance one's Body Tempering Talent were consumed one after another.
The medicinal power of the Dark-Gold Ancient Ginseng was as solid as a mountain, transforming into a thick, hot current that permeated every inch of the muscles, bones, and skin.
The medicinal power of the Black Lingzhi is gentle and lingering, like the water of a deep pool, guiding the heat into the deepest, most subtle corners of the body.
The last fruit, as white as jade, possessed a domineering and potent medicinal power, as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened within him, frantically improving every inch of his flesh and blood.
After consuming all three rare and precious herbs, Fang Han slowly opened his eyes, a glint of Dark Gold light flashing in them.
He could clearly feel that every inch of his body, every bone and every membrane, was undergoing a complete transformation, becoming more suitable for practicing Horizontal Training arts.
" His Body Tempering Talent has also caught up."
All five talents—physical constitution, Sword Technique, Body Movement, secret arts, and Horizontal Training —have now reached the same level.
Fang Han took a deep breath and looked down at the last wooden box.
That was a Low-Grade Heavenly Treasure could enhance Sword Technique talent.
He reached out and picked it up, glanced at it, but didn't take it. Instead, he carefully covered it up.
This one was exchanged for Yun Qianyue.
He had already consumed four Sword-Shaped Grass, and his body had developed a strong resistance to these rare and precious herbs. Even if he consumed more, the improvement would be limited.
Instead of wasting it on yourself, it's better to leave it for someone who needs it more.
Fang Han put the wooden box into his Storage Ring and took out two secret manuals.
The first manual is the manual for the < Soul-Chasing Art >.
He flipped through a few pages, then put it away.
Since the < Nether Guide > technique has not yet been Perfection Realm, it is not suitable to switch to cultivating this Low-Grade Artistic Conception -Tracking Secret Technique at present.
The best time to learn the Soul-Chasing Art is after the Nether Guide Perfection Realm.
The second secret manual is the " Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture Manual".
The cover is made of a unique material that feels cool to the touch, and features five powerful characters written in ancient seal script.
Fang Han opened the manual and studied the introduction on the first page word by word.
The more he looked, the brighter the light in his eyes became.
This Middle-Grade Artistic Conception martial arts technique is not only of a higher grade than the < Azure Profound Art > he is currently practicing, but it also contains the profound Artistic Conception the vitality of plants and trees and the endless cycle of life.
The Internal Qi cultivated is not only pure and abundant, but also has a remarkable detoxifying effect—during the circulation of the technique, it can automatically dissolve toxins that have invaded the body.
"When you're out and about, poisonous creatures are the hardest thing to guard against."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fang Han's eyes.
With the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture >, a Middle-Grade Artistic Conception technique capable of detoxification, combined with the Shenshu Aperture Divine Treasury his body that can also detoxify, the two together are enough to make him fearless of most poisons.
From now on, the worry about poisoning will be gone.
In some ways, this is more important than simply increasing combat power.
The following morning, the morning light shone through the window lattice, casting long, thin shadows on the blue brick floor.
Fang Han sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a secret manual in his hands, which was the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > that he had exchanged.
He opened the " Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture " and began to study it carefully.
The ancient and profound texts that catch the eye contain a deep Artistic Conception and profound martial arts principles in every sentence.
Those cultivation routes were extremely complex, involving many obscure meridians, and the methods of circulating Internal Qi were completely different from the < Azure Profound Art > he had previously cultivated.
If it were an ordinary Second Grade martial artist, even with considerable talent, it would be extremely difficult to grasp even the Middle-Grade Artistic Conception martial art without at least a month of study.
Even for the top figures on the Prodigy Ranking, it would probably take several days to even begin to understand it.
Fang Han, however, is not included in this list.
With a 512-fold Root Bone Talent Amplification, his comprehension, understanding, and deductive reasoning in internal energy cultivation have reached an unbelievable level.
Those scriptures and diagrams that seemed like cryptic texts to others appeared to him as if they had come alive.
The complex pathways of Qi circulation are like a clear network diagram, with various key points and difficulties that can be grasped with a slight thought.
Many subtle points that required repeated contemplation to understand suddenly became clear and natural at this moment.
He flipped through the manual page by page, at a moderate pace, yet he understood it extremely thoroughly.
The sun was gradually rising higher outside the window.
The room was filled with the interplay of light and shadow, with only the occasional soft sound of turning pages.
As the last page was turned, Fang Han slowly closed the booklet and shut his eyes.
He mentally reviewed the complete cultivation method of the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > from beginning to end, including the Internal Qi circulation trajectory, the method of transformation, and many other details that needed attention.
There was no more hesitation; everything was fully understood and memorized.
He opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing in them.
"Long time."
Fang Han muttered to himself, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
To comprehend and memorize Middle-Grade Artistic Conception martial art technique in half a day—if such speed were to spread, it would astound countless people.
However, compared to his combat strength spanning six minor realms, comparable to a martial artist who Break Three Passes, this doesn't seem like much.
He composed himself, took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, uncorked it, poured out two Earth Spirit Pill, and put them into his mouth.
The Danyao melted instantly upon entering the mouth, its gentle yet powerful medicinal force spreading throughout the abdomen and reaching every part of the body.
"The method of transformation and cultivation."
Fang Han closed his eyes, and the cultivation method recorded in the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > appeared in his mind.
The azure-gold Internal Qi of the < Azure Profound Art > within the body began to change course according to the transformation method of the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture >, slowly circulating along a completely new and more complex and subtle meridian route.
Initially, the old Internal Qi clashed greatly with the new training method.
Those cyan-gold Internal Qi that had been cultivated for a long time were like river water that had become accustomed to its old course. When it suddenly had to change course, it inevitably crashed against the banks, bringing waves of stinging pain.
Fang Han remained calm and focused, patiently guiding the patient.
A wisp of cyan-gold Internal Qi was stripped away and refined, its color changing from cyan-gold to light ink, a successful transformation.
Two strands, three strands --
More and more of the Internal Qi of the Azure Profound Art is being transformed into the Internal Qi of the Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture.
The stinging sensation gradually subsided, replaced by a strange, warm feeling, as if the vitality of plants was sprouting and flowing through my meridians.
Time passed in silence.
The sun was setting outside the window, and dusk was deepening.
The wisps of smoke from the Sandalwood Incense burner rose gently, leaving faint trails in the gradually darkening room.
Fang Han Han's aura fluctuated, sometimes as still as an ancient well, and sometimes as turbulent as an undercurrent.
Within his body, the azure-gold Internal Qi he had cultivated from the Azure Profound Art was being drawn out, refined, and transformed bit by bit.
Two hours passed.
Three hours passed.
As night completely enveloped the Imperial Capital, the faint sound of the night watchman's clapper could be heard in the distance—
Fang Han's body trembled slightly.
The last trace of the Azure Profound Art's Internal Qi within his body was completely transformed!
In an instant, a brand-new Internal Qi circulation system, consisting of more than twenty interconnected Acupoints, was formed.
The speed of the Internal Qi flow suddenly increased, making a rushing sound, like a stream flowing into a river, and the surging momentum became even more magnificent.
The color of the Internal Qi changed from its original metallic cyan-gold to a deep, restrained Dark Green.
That dark green was not somber, but rather as lush and verdant as ancient trees in the deep mountains, brimming with the vitality of vegetation.
The texture is so refined and pure that the power and might it brings with its flow far surpasses anything before!
Fang Han opened his eyes, a glint of Dark Green light flashing briefly in the depths of his pupils before disappearing.
"The < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > has been successfully converted to a new cultivation method."
He muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed joy.
Compared to the Internal Qi of the < Azure Profound Art >, the Internal Qi of the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > is significantly more condensed and purer.
The same quantity can have vastly different effects.
If the Internal Qi of the < Azure Profound Art > is like mercury, then the Internal Qi of the < Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > is like the essence of mercury syrup fused with gold and iron, refined to another level.
He slowly raised his right hand, and with a slight thought, a wisp of Dark Green Internal Qi emerged from his palm.
The Internal Qi was condensed and did not dissipate, like solid jade, gleaming with a faint luster in the dim room.
A light flick of the fingertips.
"Laugh--"
A thin stream of dark green energy shot out and struck a blue brick on the ground several feet away.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, but a hole the size of a finger, seemingly bottomless, silently appeared on the surface of that incredibly hard blue brick.
A glint of light flashed in Fang Han's eyes.
The power of this casual flick of the finger was at least several times stronger than before the transformation.
"Moreover, the cultivation speed has also doubled!"
As an internal energy cultivation technique of a higher grade than the Azure Profound Art, the <Azure Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture > not only improves the quality of Internal Qi, but also increases the speed of cultivation.
Fang Han could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had doubled again, on top of the already exaggerated speed.
