In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 132 Perfection, Protection

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan returned to a calm and peaceful state of cultivation.

After he spent his merits to exchange for a top-grade cultivation technique called the Transformation Meridian Technique, the new chapter of the Five Elements Vajra Body was finally deduced and perfected.

Furthermore, the final three chapters were deduced and perfected in one go: the chapter on opening the meridians, the chapter on clearing the orifices, and the chapter on baking the furnace.

This means that the Five Elements Vajra Body technique has been completely perfected and can now directly reach the first rank.

As for those above the first rank, that's another level altogether.

[The Five Elements Vajra Body Opening Meridian Chapter: Not Yet Beginner (3/4000)]

As Lu Yuan began cultivating according to the Five Elements Vajra Body Opening Meridian Chapter, he could clearly feel that the internal energy in his dantian was being rapidly consumed, at a rate several times faster than before.

As his internal energy was continuously depleted, the rudimentary chakras within his body were rapidly being developed.

The so-called "opening the meridians" refers to using internal energy to connect the meridians in the body, ultimately building a complete chakra.

For the vast majority of martial artists, this is an extremely slow process.

Even with ample resources, success will only come naturally over time.

However, Lu Yuan was different. As long as his internal energy recovery speed could keep up, he could maintain the highest efficiency in his cultivation.

Fortunately, he brought back a large number of precious medicines from the secret realm. In addition, he still had the Blood Bodhi, Crimson Essence Fruit, Five-Colored Lotus and Golden Jade Mushroom left in his hands. He would no longer need to worry about the consumption of internal energy in his subsequent cultivation.

Even if I reach a pace of five training sessions a day, it's perfectly fine.

As for the two little golden figures on the ancient scroll in his mind, one continued to break through the limits with the Wind-Shocking Kick, while the other, after being freed up, began to complete the Sky-Splitting Finger technique.

Although the progress seems very slow, I believe that results will be available soon.

Of course, in addition to the profound mysteries of thunder that he has already reached the Gang Realm, Lu Yuan will also continue to comprehend the profound mysteries of fire and wind, and his progress will not be much slower than before.

In short, Lu Yuan's cultivation level is improving at an extremely rapid pace.

And so, more than two months passed quietly like water.

During this period, Lu Yuan had already mastered the Five Elements Vajra Body Meridian Opening Chapter. Not only were his internal chakras still close to perfect, but his cultivation level had also risen to the third rank, truly placing him among the top three ranks.

In addition, the five elements internal energy in his dantian was at least twice as strong as before.

It can be said that he is now able to truly contend with second- or even first-grade martial artists with his third-grade cultivation and internal strength.

If we add the profound mysteries of thunder and fire that have already reached the Gang Realm, as well as the profound mysteries of wind that have reached the full extent of their intent, it is probably not impossible for him to overwhelm even those first-grade powerhouses who can be considered quasi-grandmasters with an absolute advantage.

Even a true martial arts master might not be unable to contend with him.

"It's a pity that the Sky-Splitting Finger technique isn't fully completed yet. Otherwise, if I could master this invincible technique that touches space, I could even defeat a martial arts grandmaster!"

Lu Yuan sensed the changes within his body, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Of course, that's still not enough.

He still needs to advance to the second rank, the first rank, and even become a martial arts grandmaster, until he reaches the realm of martial saint.

"Lu Yuan, Lord Zhuo Hang wants to see us."

Just as Lu Yuan was about to continue his cultivation, Jiang Ying's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"good!"

After Lu Yuan responded, he got up and walked out.

Generally speaking, even when a mission is required, it is only Fan Ping who relays the message.

Zhuo Hang was not only the Golden Sword Envoy of the Suspended Sword Division, but also the controller of the entire Tianshui Garrison, and he rarely summoned them casually.

In other words, Zhuo Hang probably summoned them this time because he had some important mission to convey in person.

Before long, Lu Yuan and Jiang Ying followed the crowd to the council hall.

Not only were all the silver sword wielders, including Fan Ping, present, but almost all the bronze sword wielders from each department were also present.

"There seems to be demonic disturbance in Shangwu County, possibly related to the Longevity Cult. We need to go there immediately to resolve the situation!"

Zhuo Hang's gaze swept over everyone, then he asked directly, "Who among you is willing to lead the team?"

However, Fan Ping and the other silver sword wielders fell silent.

Because their strength is insufficient to fight against real demons, not to mention that there may be experts from the Longevity Sect hiding behind the scenes.

"Those who slay demons will receive 50,000 merit points!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhuo Hang spoke again.

Upon hearing this, although Fan Ping and the others all showed interest, none of them agreed.

Although 50,000 merit points are tempting, if demons really appear in the world, then going there would be no different from sending them to their deaths.

After all, even the weakest demon is stronger than a typical third- or even second-rank demon.

These silver sword wielders were mostly only at the third rank of cultivation, and even if they joined forces, they might not be able to contend with the demons.

Only a Golden Swordsman with the cultivation level of a first-grade cultivator, like Lord Zhuo Hang, can truly fight against demons.

If a powerful demon appears, headquarters will even send a Golden Sword Envoy with the cultivation of a Grandmaster.

Therefore, they were quite puzzled. In the past, whenever demons appeared in the world, it was usually Lord Zhuohang who went to deal with them personally. Why did Lord Zhuohang ask them to go this time?

"Lu Yuan, would you be willing to lead the team?"

Zhuo Hang didn't take it seriously and then turned his gaze to Lu Yuan.

"Lord Zhuohang, although Lu Yuan is exceptionally talented and has already reached the fourth rank of cultivation, he still cannot contend with true demons. Is it inappropriate to send him?"

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Fan Ping quickly interjected.

In his view, even though Lu Yuan had killed Jin Sheng, the Holy Body Prodigy of the Ziyang Sect, in the secret realm, his strength was at most comparable to that of them, the Silver Sword Envoys. He was still slightly lacking in the ability to contend with true demons.

"Lu Yuan, you tell us yourself!"

Zhuo Hang simply waved his hand, still keeping his gaze fixed on Lu Yuan, and smiled.

"Lord Zhuo Hang, may I not go?"

Lu Yuan looked directly at Zhuo Hang and asked in return.

To be honest, what he lacks now is not merit, but enough time to cultivate.

"Are you worried about facing retaliation from the Ziyang Sect after leaving the Suspended Sword Division?"

Zhuo Hang pondered for a moment, then said, "You may not know this, but the reason why the Ziyang Sect has not sent any experts to retaliate against you for the past two months is because the Sword Master has already made it clear that he doesn't care how the younger generation fights, but if any shameless old geezer personally intervenes, then he will have to leave the palace and stretch his muscles."

"So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing Zhuo Hang's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a relieved expression.

He had always found it strange that the Ziyang Sect's retaliation had not come for so long, or even made a sound.

It turned out that it was because of that old sword saint who protected him with just one sentence.

"Not only that, he also granted you a special opportunity!"
