Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

"Ganlin Powder is incredibly effective!"

Inside the courtyard, Lu Ming stepped out of a medicine barrel. Looking at the dark liquid and smelling the pungent odor of Chinese medicine, he felt in great spirits.

I practiced for three hours today and was exhausted, but after soaking in the medicinal bath, I almost fully recovered.

As expected of the Li family's secret cultivation elixir!

With the aid of this powerful medicine, he was able to cultivate for a full six hours a day.

This is basically the limit; he can't hold on much longer. Not just physically, but also mentally.

[Evolving leg techniques (958/1000)...]

Lu Ming dried himself off and put on his gray training clothes. He always wore gray training clothes when practicing, otherwise white training clothes would easily get dirty.

He was greatly encouraged when he saw that his leg technique experience had reached 958.

Four days have passed since I returned that day.

After acquiring the Ganlin Powder, he cultivated the Pingbu Qingyun Technique, gaining a full 180 points of leg skill experience every day, which has now approached the 1000 mark.

He can cultivate for another three hours today, which means he can evolve his second leg technique today!

He was immediately invigorated and continued his cultivation.

[Evolving leg techniques (962/1000)...]

[Evolving leg techniques (966/1000)...]

[It's evolving...]

[Evolving leg techniques (1002/1000)...]

[Evolution complete!]

[Gained the leg technique: Earth Split.]

【Splitting the Earth】: With great strength, one can split the earth and establish a territory.

[Leg-based supernatural abilities]: Divine speed (initial stage), earth-splitting (initial stage).

Split the soil!

After Lu Ming finished practicing the Sky-Soaring Technique for the last time, he saw that he had obtained the Earth-Splitting Divine Power, and immediately felt that his feet had a powerful force.

He had a feeling that the land within a radius of three zhang was subtly under his control.

With just a light stomp, he can split the ground beneath his feet, like a man-made earthquake!

Lu Ming's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected such a powerful divine ability.

Keep in mind, he's only at the Skin Refining stage right now. Let alone him, even someone at the Flesh Refining stage or the Great Perfection stage wouldn't be able to crack the ground in one step.

Although he can only crack the ground within a radius of three zhang now, that's because his cultivation level is too low. As his cultivation level increases, the power of cracking the earth will also increase.

Looking at the ground beneath his feet, Lu Ming felt an itch to stomp on it and see the effect.

But in the end, he held back.

He didn't know how he would explain it to Wei Jinlin if he caused a large crack in the courtyard of the Military Affairs Department.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just as Lu Ming was feeling regretful, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went to open the door. Sure enough, it was Wei Jinlin. He immediately welcomed him into the courtyard.

These days, because he was practicing the "Soaring Clouds Technique" instead of the Nine Palaces Palm that others practiced, Wei Jinlin did not force him to go to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts every morning.

After practicing diligently for so many days, he finally mastered the basics of the "Soaring to the Clouds" technique.

Therefore, he could finally legitimately request to learn another martial art, and that's how he invited Wei Jinlin over.

"Eight days, and you've finally grasped the basics?" Wei Jinlin's expression remained unchanged after watching his demonstration.

Lu Ming asked, "Master Wei, is this speed fast or slow?"

Wei Jinlin said, "Although the 'Soaring Clouds Technique' is a first-class lightness skill, it is the kind that is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is not difficult to get started."

"You have the basics of flying on grass, but it still took you eight days to master the art of soaring to the clouds. Your talent is not outstanding."

Lu Ming thought to himself, it seems that although his cultivation talent is above average among this year's martial arts disciples, it still appears mediocre among those Wei Jinlin has seen.

He was not discouraged. He possessed a supernatural power panel, an ability that others did not have. Although his talent for cultivation was average, he made up for it with diligence.

One day, I'll grind my way to becoming a Myriad Paths God!

He then said, "I feel the same way, so I would like to ask Master Wei to teach me another martial art."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jinlin looked at him in silence.

Lu Ming quickly handed him a heavy cloth bag, laughing, "I understand, I understand, you need to pay extra, right? Here's three hundred taels of silver, please teach me, Master Wei!"

Wei Jinlin weighed the money pouch in his hand, accepted it without ceremony, and nodded:

"Do you want to learn finger techniques or palm techniques?"

Lu Ming tentatively asked, "Could I... learn both?"

Wei Jinlin frowned. He had told Lu Ming last time that he shouldn't try to do too much at once, but he didn't expect Lu Ming to say the same thing again.

He was about to reprimand them when he suddenly stopped.

He thought to himself that Lu Ming's insistence was perhaps due to his nature.

Lu Ming had previously learned the Nine Palaces Living Stance, Bone Dissection Technique, Finger Technique, Grass Flying, and Soaring to the Clouds Technique. In just over a month, he had learned so much and mastered the basics of everything.

Now I want to learn other palm techniques, as well as more advanced finger techniques.

Could this be his talent?

Could it be that this child actually has the talent to cultivate the Formless Divine Art?

The Formless Divine Skill is a special martial art. To learn it, one needs to be familiar with most different types of martial arts.

Wei Jinlin's heart stirred slightly. If this year's Martial Arts Division could produce a disciple like this, it would still be of some benefit to him.

But eventually, he calmed down and realized it was too early to say anything.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Alright, I'll teach you a second-rate finger technique first, the Cloud Piercing Finger!"

"If you can reach the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement within seven days, which is halfway through your martial arts training, I can teach you another palm technique."

Regardless, even if someone is a suitable candidate for cultivating the Formless Divine Art, their talent for cultivation must be sufficient. Reaching the Great Perfection of Skin Refinement within a month and a half is the minimum requirement.

Lu Ming was both surprised and delighted to hear this. He had just casually asked for a chance, but he didn't expect that the person would actually agree.

He couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Is Master Wei suddenly being so generous? Could it be that he's looking for an excuse to punish me, and throw me out of the Martial Arts Department if I don't meet the requirements? Is Master Wei also afraid of that Lingyun Sect outcast?"

In recent days, the matter of the Li family's money shop has gradually become clear. It turns out that a new money shop, named Chongyun Money Shop, is going to open in Chiyun County.

The owner of the money shop was actually a former disciple of the Lingyun Sect.

This person is named Zhou Zhen. He was once a martial arts genius from Chiyun County and entered the third-rate Lingyun Sect to cultivate.

However, having reached middle age and unable to break through his current level, he left the sect, calling himself an outcast of the Lingyun Sect. He opened a money exchange here, supposedly to retire in his old age.

Don't underestimate Lingyun Sect just because it's only a third-rate sect. In fact, even though it's a third-rate sect, very few people from Chiyun County were able to join it in previous years.

Third-rate sects are not necessarily the worst. Beyond the third-rate, there are many insignificant minor sects, and those are the truly worst sects.

Those who can enter the Lingyun Sect are already considered genius martial artists in Chiyun County.

After Zhou Zhen returned from his apprenticeship, his cultivation level reached the top in Chiyun County, surpassing even the heads of the three major families.

Therefore, as soon as he revealed that he was going to return to open a money exchange, the Chen and Shen families, as well as many powerful forces, took the lead in destroying the Li family's money exchange as a gift in order to curry favor with him.

As the one who turned the tide for the Li family in the arena battle, Lu Ming has recently been approached by many people urging him to visit Zhou Zhen as soon as possible and apologize. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret it once Zhou Zhen became angry.

Upon hearing Lu Ming's conjecture, Wei Jinlin frowned and rebuked him:

"Nonsense. If you don't want to learn, I'll save my time."

Lu Ming chuckled awkwardly, "I want to learn, I want to learn."

Wei Jinlin snorted coldly, taught him the Cloud Piercing Finger technique, gave him a few pointers, and then turned and left.

Lu Ming saw him to the door, then turned back and closed the courtyard gate. He thought to himself, "It seems Wei Jinlin thinks highly of me. Otherwise, he would have just refused outright instead of setting up such a test."

Recalling Wei Jinlin's previous statement that he would have to pay for the repairs himself if he broke a wooden plaque, Lu Ming felt secretly pleased that 300 taels of silver could now buy him two sets of second-rate martial arts instruction.

In the end, we still saw his extraordinary talent.

As for Zhou Zhen's matter, he wasn't actually worried. He was just joking with Wei Jinlin.

Before Zhou Zhen arrived, he had made a big show of getting those families to take down the Li family's money shop. But after arriving, he wanted to develop the business in the long term, so he wouldn't be too domineering.

Besides, he only fought in a ring battle; given Zhou Zhen's status, he wouldn't be so concerned. He might not even know about it.

However, the Li family's situation is indeed very awkward now. Li Youning has not returned to the Military Service Department yet, and it is unknown what the fate of the Li family will be next.

They'll have to rely on themselves now.

"Cloud Piercing Finger!"

Lu Ming originally planned to have dinner at the public kitchen, but for some reason, the mealtime was delayed today.

He could only return to the courtyard to cultivate. In the evening, he recalled the second-rate finger technique that Wei Jinlin had just taught him, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.

After the previous arena battle, Qin Zhonghai of Tianji Pavilion traded his second-rate lightness skill, Water Skimming, for Grass Skimming.

However, the bonus from second-rate lightness skill is definitely not as good as that from first-rate lightness skill. At that time, he had not yet mastered the art of walking on water. If he were to practice walking on water, he would gain even less experience in leg techniques.

Therefore, he has not yet mastered the skill of walking on water.

This means he still doesn't know whether the experience bonus provided by second-rate martial arts is as he expected.

Wei Jinlin had just taught him the Cloud Piercing Finger technique, and now was the perfect time to practice it.

Therefore, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and practice the Cloud Piercing Finger, and also see the bonus effect of second-rate martial arts!
