In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

As Lu Yuan continued to circulate his qi and blood, a muffled, thunderous sound emanated from his body.

It felt as if a red-hot knife was churning wildly inside his abdomen.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth; he could only endure the pain that was necessary for opening up his dantian.

However, as time went by, not only was his qi and blood greatly depleted, but he also seemed to feel an invisible barrier.

No matter how he mobilized his qi and blood, he could not break through this barrier.

Immediately, Lu Yuan stuffed another piece of blood ginseng into his mouth.

"Break it!"

Lu Yuan roared inwardly, frantically activating all the qi and blood in his body.

The qi and blood seemed to transform into a heavy hammer, slamming fiercely onto that barrier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Once, twice, three times...

After being hit countless times, Lu Yuan felt as if his abdomen was about to be completely torn apart.

"Snap!"

Finally, Lu Yuan felt as if something inside his body had shattered.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible space the size of a fist was forcibly expanded by the continuous influx of qi and blood.

Dantian, done!

However, this is only the first step.

Next, he needs to continue to channel more Qi and blood into his dantian, then continuously compress and condense it until the first trace of internal force is born, only then can he truly begin the cultivation of the Skin Polishing Chapter of the Five Elements Vajra Body.

Only after acquiring the first trace of internal energy could he be considered a true master, and only then could he begin to use his internal energy to refine the skin and membranes all over his body.

This is actually a gradual process that requires time and effort; it cannot be rushed.

Of course, this is true for others, but not for Lu Yuan.

He has the destiny of becoming more skilled with practice; he will only get faster and faster as he practices.

Even if one can only cultivate twice a day, it will only take a maximum of ten days to achieve this.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Lu Yuan had just stepped out of the room when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He opened the door and saw several strong, burly men standing outside.

The leader was a middle-aged man with unusually thick hands, wearing a gray cotton robe.

"May I ask if you are Brother Lu Yuan, who practices martial arts at Guangchun Hall?"

The gray-robed man asked with a faint smile.

Clearly, he had already gathered all of Lu Yuan's basic information before he arrived.

"What's up?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

"I am He Qing of the Iron Palm Clan."

The gray-robed man smiled, then took out a portrait and asked, "Young Brother Lu Yuan, have you ever seen this person before?"

"Never seen it before!"

Lu Yuan glanced at the portrait, then shook his head.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer!"

He Qing's smile remained unchanged. He then put away the portrait and turned to leave.

"Could it be that the middle-aged man in this portrait is the murderer who killed Wang Qing, the young leader of the Iron Palm Clan?"

Watching He Qing and the others leave, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and pondered to himself.

If that's the case, then he won't have to worry about being unfairly blamed anymore.

Immediately, he walked out of the courtyard and headed straight for Guangchun Hall.

"Master Qing, why are you being so polite to him, the vice leader of the Iron Palm Clan?"

In a corner not far away, a man asked He Qing with some confusion.

"This boy must be extraordinary to have caught the eye of Guangchuntang!"

He Qing watched Lu Yuan walk away, his expression somewhat solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Moreover, according to the information we have gathered, this boy is very likely the real culprit who almost wiped out the entire Black Tiger Gang."

Although everyone believed that the Iron Palm Gang had destroyed the Black Tiger Gang, and even they themselves admitted it, only they knew that the real culprit who destroyed the Black Tiger Gang was someone else entirely.

"Master Qing, isn't that giving him too much credit?"

"That's impossible. Even counting from the day he started practicing martial arts at Song Academy, it's only been a little over a month. Even if he truly has exceptional talent, he should at most be at the Ming Jin level. How could he possibly destroy the Black Tiger Gang?"

The men all said in disbelief.

"This is just my own guess, but my intuition tells me that this kid is definitely not a good person!"

He Qing pondered for a moment, then continued, "In any case, try not to provoke them easily. Also, temporarily suspend the commission for this area. Furthermore, have your subordinates be more vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately."

"Master Qing, so what should we do now..."

After the group nodded in agreement, they asked another question.

"Keep searching! How dare they kill the young master of my Iron Palm Gang and steal that item! We must find it, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!"

He Qing's eyes revealed a cold and stern look.

……

As soon as Lu Yuan entered the backyard of Guangchun Hall, he discovered that not only had everyone arrived, but Huang Hui and the Zhou brothers, Wen and Wu, had also come.

"Brother Lu Yuan!"

Zhou Wu strode up to Lu Yuan with a smile on his face.

"Master Zhou."

Lu Yuan also greeted him with a smile.

"From now on, you can just call me Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Wu waved his hand, then smiled and said, "We're going to the Lieyang Martial Arts Academy to participate in the Heroes' Gathering. There, you can spar and exchange ideas with the young talents from other schools, gaining experience for the upcoming martial arts competition!"

"good!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in exchanging skills, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

However, since he was going to the Lieyang Martial Arts School, he couldn't easily reveal the Lieyang Sword Technique that he had been secretly practicing.

Soon, after finishing their meat meal in the dining hall, everyone walked out of Guangchun Hall.

Led by Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, and Huang Hui, the group of more than twenty people soon arrived at the Lieyang Martial Arts School.

Upon entering the Lieyang Martial Arts School, one can see that a large number of people have already gathered on the spacious training ground.

Some people were practicing on their own, while others were sparring and exchanging blows, with shouts rising and falling.

"My God... is that the genius disciple of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts Academy? He actually mastered sword energy!"

At that moment, Zhang Feng suddenly pointed at someone and exclaimed in shock.

Everyone stared intently, and saw a young man dressed in a white outfit with a crimson sun pattern embroidered on his chest practicing swordsmanship, with a crimson light, about an inch long, constantly flickering from the tip of his sword.

As he continued to swing his longsword, charred sword marks appeared on the ground.

"This is indeed the blazing sun sword light that can only be unleashed after mastering the Blazing Sun Sword Technique!"

Huang Hui also looked at the young man in white with a strange expression, and then spoke.

"That's impressive. If I were to cultivate sword energy, could I achieve what he did?"

Wang Chao asked with hope in his eyes.

"Your natural talent is not exceptional. If you were not exceptionally gifted in swordsmanship, it would be very difficult to achieve this without several years, or even more than a decade, of dedicated study."

Huang Hui glanced at Wang Chao and continued, "Moreover, the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is a Xuan-grade technique. The Blazing Sun Sword Light it generates is not only extremely sharp but also extremely hot, capable of scorching everything. It is incomparable to ordinary sword light."

Upon hearing this, the envy in Zhang Feng, Wang Chao, and the others intensified.

Lu Yuan remained calm, because he had not only mastered the Blazing Sun Sword Light, but was also about to master an even stronger Blazing Sun Sword Qi.

"It's just a sword beam. My Raging Dragon Spear Technique is already fully mastered, so I can use it to test my spear skills!"

At this moment, Cao Yang spoke calmly, his words filled with strong confidence.
