Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Two days later, Chen Mo came down from Wudang Mountain, but he didn't rush back to Hangzhou.

This time, we obtained three kinds of pill formulas and a large amount of medicinal materials.

He planned to refine all the medicinal herbs into pills first, and then devote himself to cultivation for a period of time.

Then we found a secluded farmhouse at the foot of Wudang Mountain, booked the entire courtyard, and told the owner that we preferred peace and quiet and didn't want to be disturbed.

The owner was an old man in his fifties. Seeing how generous he was, I happily handed him the keys.

The courtyard is small, with three single-story houses and the yard paved with blue bricks.

Chen Mo took the medicinal herbs out of the copper ring, spread them out on the floor of the main room, and arranged them in order.

The medicinal herbs collected from the three mountains filled half a room, and the air was filled with an overwhelming, pungent aroma of herbs.

His profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine allowed him to identify the age, properties, and optimal proportions of each herb at a glance.

These medicinal herbs, which others can only follow the prescriptions rigidly, can be disassembled, recombined, and used to deduce entirely new combinations in his hands.

He set up the alchemy furnace and began to work.

The charcoal fire burned brightly, and medicinal herbs were thrown in one batch after another.

The Great Completion Realm Alchemy Techniques were running at full speed in his mind, including the Three Yang Returning to Origin Pill from Longhu Mountain, the Jade Liquid Pill from Wudang Mountain, and the Golden Marrow Pill from Qingcheng Mountain.

The three sets of pill formulas are used for mutual reference, and each batch is being optimized and fine-tuned.

They practiced from day to night, and from night to dawn.

The only sounds in the room were the whooshing of the flames licking the bottom of the stove and the bubbling of the bubbling medicine.

That afternoon, a notification popped up in the system.

[Alchemy Proficiency +100] ×14

Congratulations! Your alchemy skills have broken through: Great Success → Perfection!

Alchemy (Perfect: 0/30000)

[Grade: Life Skill]

[Description: The basic skill of refining elixirs. The higher the proficiency, the better the quality of the elixirs.]

[Current Quality: Primarily High-Quality, with a Significantly Increased Probability of Top-Quality Items. Single Furnace Yield: 20 pieces]

A vast amount of knowledge about alchemy flooded into his mind.

All the prescriptions and notes I had previously consulted at Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain were now completely understood at this moment.

The threshold from the Great Completion Realm to the Perfection Realm is not just a change in the proficiency number, but a step up in his understanding of the entire Dao of Alchemy.

Keep refining the elixir!

The perfected alchemy technique made Chen Mo more adept and faster. By the evening of the third day, he had opened the last batch.

Twenty crimson pills rolled out, ten of which had the unique pale golden patterns of top-grade pills and a very faint luster on their surface.

The system panel popped up.

[Alchemy Proficiency +100] ×180

Alchemy (Perfect: 18000/30000)

The copper ring currently contains over two thousand high-grade pills, plus one thousand eight hundred top-grade ones.

He picked up a top-grade pill and looked at it in the sunlight outside the window. The pill's patterns were as fine as a spider web, and the fragrance of the medicine filled his nostrils, making his entire chest feel warm.

With this wealth, there's no need to worry about not having enough pills for cultivation for the time being.

There are plenty of pills, so there's nothing else to worry about. Just focus on mastering martial arts techniques.

I've mastered the three cultivation techniques I acquired from my master's wife, but it takes far too long to progress from mastery to perfection, and then to the ultimate realm.

But with the elixir as a safety net, it doesn't take much effort to go from beginner to expert.

He wanted to break through to the Inner Force Realm as soon as possible, and the most cost-effective way was to master all fourteen Yellow-Rank and one Profound-Rank cultivation techniques that he had acquired for free.

Furthermore, there is the internal energy cultivation method. Only by cultivating internal energy and generating internal force within the body can one truly step into the threshold of the internal force realm.

Without cultivating internal energy techniques, even the most abundant qi and blood are nothing but brute force and cannot be condensed into internal strength.

Moreover, internal energy has many uses, effectively enhancing physical strength, which is far more powerful than simply focusing on physical strength.

Chen Mo had clearly planned out his cultivation path, and immediately sat cross-legged and swallowed a top-grade pill.

The medicinal power exploded in his dantian, its potency far surpassing that of the previous Blood Tempering Pill.

Without further ado, let's begin our cultivation!

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

He mastered all fourteen Yellow-Rank martial arts techniques.

He had even mastered the Profound-Rank Soul-Chasing Sword Technique, his sword aura was terrifyingly fierce, and with a casual swing of his sword, the sword wind from a distance could pierce a small hole in the wall.

The real big changes will happen in these last two days.

He simultaneously activated both the Xuan Yuan Technique and the Cang Hai Heart Sutra, two internal energy cultivation methods.

Who would dare to do that?

Practicing two internal skills at the same time would at least result in qi deviation or even ruin one's meridians, but he was completely unharmed, probably because of the system's support.

The Xuan Yuan Jue compresses and tightens the Qi and blood in the Dantian, while the Cang Hai Xin Jing expands and stretches the meridians. The combination of contraction and expansion complements each other perfectly.

The thick, mercury-like qi and blood in his dantian were forcibly kneaded to create something entirely new.

It is lighter than qi and blood, yet more vigorous.

It's like mercury turning into mist, and the mist condensing into ice crystals.

This energy surged through his meridians and spread throughout his body in an instant. Chen Mo could clearly feel that his muscles, bones, and skin were being reforged and cleansed.

It's not the kind of grueling training that you get in the Qi and Blood Realm; it's a complete transformation from head to toe.

A wisp of internal energy has now appeared in his dantian!

He couldn't wait to circulate his internal energy, gathering a wisp of internal force in his palm. The air distorted slightly, invisible and colorless, just like in martial arts TV dramas.

Internal Force Realm!

Become!

He stood up and walked to the center of the living room.

Clench your fist, release it, and then clench it again.

When he was in the Qi and Blood Realm, his brute strength was forcibly bursting outwards, like a cannonball exploding in a cannon barrel—tyrannical and brutal.

But now it's different. Internal energy flows freely in the meridians. With a thought, the force immediately follows, and it can strike wherever you want.

He casually reached out and grabbed at the air, and a soft popping sound suddenly rang out between his fingers.

It wasn't the sound of wind caused by moving too fast; rather, it was the internal energy overflowing from the fingertips that forcefully crushed a ball of air in the palm.

He took out his iron knife and casually attached a wisp of internal energy to the blade.

He stepped into the courtyard and swung his sword with a single stroke.

The moment it was swung, the surface of the stone block was instantly covered with dense cracks, spreading from the center to the surrounding area. Then, with a "bang," the entire stone block was blown into a pile of rubble.

The force of the blade transformed into a powerful aura, completely shattering the internal structure of the stone pier.

A close-quarters collision at three steps versus shattering an opponent's body from three feet away—this is the world of difference between mere qi and blood and true internal strength.

And its defensive capabilities are even more outrageous.

By circulating internal energy through the technique, one can surround the body with internal force, forming an invisible protective shield.

He turned the iron knife around and used the back of the blade to strike his own arm hard.

Before the back of the blade even touched his skin, it was deflected by an invisible energy shield, causing his hand to go numb.

This is only the basic protective effect for someone who has just entered the Inner Strength Realm.

Let alone ordinary fist and foot weapons, even ordinary bullets wouldn't be able to penetrate this layer of protection.

Even the Barrett armor-piercing rounds couldn't penetrate Zhao Cang, which shows how strong its defenses were.

My total punching power has now exceeded 6,200 jin.

According to the division of internal strength realm, the punching power in the early stage is 3,000 to 5,000 jin, in the middle stage it is 5,000 to 7,000 jin, and in the late stage it is 7,000 to 9,000 jin.

Chen Mo has already steadily entered the mid-stage of the Inner Force Realm.

It's time to head to America.

Free America, shootings every day, free shopping every day.

This place is practically a stage tailor-made for him; he can play all sorts of games, from capital battles and American-style DIY to casual zero-dollar purchases.

Chen Mo was already eager to find a place where he could truly unleash his full potential.

There was also a Western-style feast, which he had been starving for over ten days in anticipation of!

P.S.: Wishing everyone a happy May Day in advance.
