"My strength is still far from enough!"

After all the commotion today!

Once Jiang Yi calmed down, he keenly felt just how lacking his own strength was.

The Skin Refining Realm was clearly no longer enough!

The town he was in was like a larger pond; naturally, the creatures within were more varied and larger in size.

If he, this little fish, did not continue growing, he would sooner or later be swallowed by a big fish.

What was more!

He had even defied a big fish!

This was undoubtedly forcing him to improve!

"Postmaster Jiang, Steward Liu sent over a bottle of medicine. He said it would help with cultivation. This..."

"Leave it at the door!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yi opened the courtyard gate and picked up a small white porcelain bottle placed by the entrance.

The porcelain bottle was shaped like a gourd!

It was roughly two fingers wide!

A small red paper label was pasted onto it, bearing three tiny gold-lettered words—

"Body Tempering Pill!"

He opened it and looked inside!

Six round brown pills lay within, and a pungent medicinal smell rushed straight at his nose!

This was a medicine used to assist martial artists in cultivation, concocted from various medicinal herbs that had aged for a certain number of years.

After a martial artist consumed it, it could greatly speed up their cultivation.

But for Jiang Yi, it was rather useless!

He only needed to consume lifespan to continuously raise his cultivation.

As for medicines and the like!

He truly had little need for them!

"I'll give them to Brother Dafeng and the others when I go back. They should have use for them."

Jiang Yi shook his head and sealed the medicine bottle again.

"Continue raising the Cauldron Origin Art. Strive to reach Great Accomplishment, or even Completion!"

"Let's first consume... ten years of lifespan and simulate the martial art—Cauldron Origin Art!"

[Year 1, having already begun the Cauldron Origin Art, you continued cultivating diligently.]

[Year 2, your strength increased by two hundred jin!]

[Year 3, relying purely on physical strength, you could casually strike with more than eight hundred jin of force.]

[Year 4, you discovered that your strength had begun increasing slowly!]

[Year 5, your strength increased by another hundred jin.]

[Year 7, the strength throughout your body approached one thousand jin. You discovered that its growth had become incomparably slow.]

[Year 9, through painstaking, water-dripping work, you forcefully shattered the thousand-jin boundary.]

[Year 10, your strength reached an astonishing one thousand two hundred jin.]

[An ordinary Muscle-refining realm martial artist only had one thousand jin of strength.]

Jiang Yi's bones began crackling and popping, while his flesh continuously tightened and solidified.

It felt as though his entire body had vaguely expanded by a full circle!

Powerful strength rapidly welled forth from his flesh and blood.

With every lift of his hand and every step he took, fierce winds accompanied him.

This filled him with heroic spirit, giving him the illusion that he could smash everything apart.

If he faced that man in black again, he was confident that he would not fall behind—he might even suppress him.

"One thousand two hundred jin... I should count as a martial artist at the Muscle-refining level now, right?"

Jiang Yi calmed his turbulent thoughts!

"According to the Cauldron Origin Art!"

"Only upon reaching the Great Accomplishment Boundary and giving rise to Cauldron Origin Great Strength can one be considered to have broken through to the Muscle-refining realm."

"My Cauldron Origin Art has not yet reached Great Accomplishment. That means I still do not count as one."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, glanced at his remaining forty-five years of lifespan, and made his decision.

"Then I'll continue simulating. Let's play big and consume... twenty years of lifespan!"

[Year 1, filled with heroic spirit, you continued cultivating diligently, striving to break through to the Great Accomplishment Boundary.]

[Year 3, your strength increased by another two hundred jin.]

[Year 6, with a raised hand, you struck with one thousand five hundred jin of force. Cauldron Origin Great Strength arose from within your body.]

[This year, the Cauldron Origin Art reached Great Accomplishment.]

[Year 8, you continued cultivating, and your Cauldron Origin Great Strength increased somewhat.]

[Year 10, you felt as though something was missing.]

[Year 11, you began recalling all manner of ancient cauldrons from your previous life.]

[Year 12, you gained an epiphany.]

[Year 15, the Cauldron Origin Great Strength within your body began surging wildly, as though a vast, weighty intent were gestating.]

[Year 17, you wielded Cauldron Origin Great Strength as easily as lifting a hand, reaching the utmost limit of Great Accomplishment.]

[Year 19, you broke through. Cauldron Origin Great Strength was stored within the flesh and blood of your entire body.]

[With a casual strike alone, you could unleash a full three thousand jin of force.]

[Year 20, you comprehended the true intent of Cauldron Origin. Every gesture and movement reached a state of seamless perfection.]

[Your Cauldron Origin Art was completely perfected.]

Jiang Yi's physique grew stronger by several degrees once more!

His entire figure appeared upright and tall, while his originally thin face gradually became sharply defined!

The strength within his body surged ever higher!

It had more than doubled!

A powerful aura spread out, carrying an ancient intent of completeness, vastness, heaviness, suppression, and killing.

[Lifespan: 35]

He had originally only had twenty-five years of lifespan left, but as Jiang Yi's Realm broke through and his cultivation increased,

his lifespan increased by another ten years.

Now, he had thirty-four years left to use. Naturally, he kept one year for staying alive.

If he used it all up, yet his lifespan did not increase in the slightest...

What would the result be?

Jiang Yi did not dare imagine it. Could it be sacrifice to the Dao above all else?

A direct one-step ascent!

Jiang Yi did not dare gamble on it. He felt that living properly was better!

People!!!

Had to learn to enjoy the process of growth, to feel themselves becoming stronger without end...

"Continue the simulation."

"Consume ten years of lifespan. First, simulate this movement-art martial art—Soaring Cloud Leap."

[Year 1, you began cultivating Soaring Cloud Leap.]

[Year 2, you entered the hall and grasped the secrets of the martial art.]

[Year 5, Soaring Cloud Leap reached Great Accomplishment, increasing your strength by five hundred jin.]

[Year 8, you comprehended the light and ethereal intent of Soaring Cloud Leap.]

[Year 9, Soaring Cloud Leap was completely perfected, reaching the pinnacle of perfection. Your strength increased by another five hundred jin.]

[Year 10, with nothing to do, you had a sudden whim one day.]

[You attempted to combine the intent and moves of Soaring Cloud Leap with Eagle Claw Technique and Rock Steadiness Fist.]

[It possessed both the mysteries of movement techniques and the might of eagle claws and steadfast rock.]

[After cultivating for a period of time, the coordination between the three became increasingly skillful!]
