Chapter 257: Two Different Worlds
Translator: Myuu Editor: Myuu
Yan Liqiang’s consciousness was completely immersed in Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing. His entire body was moving solely on his instincts.
He wasn’t sure how much time had passed. Yan Liqiang only came back to his senses after he heard the series of knocks coming from outside the courtyard and realized that unbeknownst to him, he was already lying on the ground under the tree with the last Right Chest Baring Side Lying stance in the Crouching Body Diagrams as a closing move, as though he had been sleeping all this time...
“Commandant Yan, are you in? I am here to deliver your dinner...!” A familiar voice came from the other side of the door. When Yan Liqiang heard the voice, he immediately got up from the ground with a roll without checking the condition of his body. He went over to the courtyard’s entrance and opened the door.
The kitchen servant from Deer Villa who had been delivering Yan Liqiang his meals these past few days stood respectfully outside the door, carrying a three-tier food box.
“Thank you!” Yan Liqiang reached out to accept the food box and nodded to him.
“I am just doing my job. The manager said that Commandant Yan can just tell us if there is anything you wish to eat...”
“Alright...”
......
Realization only dawned upon Yan Liqiang after he returned to his courtyard again with the food box. His current physical condition was obviously different compared to before and seemed to have fully covered. Apart from hunger, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
Yan Liqiang carefully sensed his dantian and actually discovered a newly condensed ball of vital Qi in there. Judging from its volume, it was at least a third more than the vital Qi he had previously cleared out.
Just when his consciousness was immersed in his dantian and he was rendered speechless from the shock of discovering the newly condensed vital Qi there, his stomach started rumbling like thunder. He wasn’t sure if this was a misperception, but the growl of his stomach sounded louder than usual. Not only that, even his intestinal peristalsis felt stronger.
Taking in the aroma of the food in his food box, Yan Liqiang couldn’t wait any longer. As soon as he opened all the lids, the aroma of the meal that was prepared by the royal chef of Deer Villa permeated the air in his courtyard. Goldie had already brought its bowl in the yard to him while wagging its tail and it circled around Yan Liqiang excitedly.
“Here, this is yours...” Yan Liqiang emptied a plate of ribs from his food box into Goldie’s bowl. He also took out his own meal. He then took out the rest of the dishes and wolfed them down until nothing was left.
The portion of his meal in the food box was enough; it even came with a delicious bowl of venison soup. The same portion was enough to fill Yan Liqiang’s stomach for the past two days. Yet, Yan Liqiang only felt half full after finishing this meal. He had a feeling that he could probably stuff himself with at least another half portion of the same meal.
After finishing his meal and feeling that his body had recovered a little more, Yan Liqiang took the food box out of the courtyard. The servant who delivered his meal was still waiting outside.
“It would be nice if the portion from tomorrow onwards can be half a size bigger than today’s...”
“Understood, your humble servant will keep it in mind!”
“Thank you!”
......
Returning to his courtyard once again, Yan Liqiang still found it hard to believe that he had successfully cultivated the Iron Head technique and attained the Fourth Heavenly Layer in the art of archery just now when he thought about it. He scratched his head and spotted a wooden stick that was about a foot long with the thickness of a duck egg. After hesitating for a moment, he picked the wooden stick up. Clenching his teeth and shutting his eyes, he bashed the wooden stick on his head...
The wooden stick snapped into two, but Yan Liqiang only felt a light impact against his head. He felt around the area. It wasn’t swollen or bleeding, and the skin wasn’t even broken.
“Oh, this Iron Head technique has really been successfully cultivated...” Yan Liqiang murmured to himself. “Since the Iron Head technique can be cultivated so easily, wouldn’t it be very easy to cultivate the other various body techniques like the Iron Throat, Iron Arm, Iron Shoulder, Iron Palm, Iron Fist, Iron Elbow, Iron Claw, Iron Finger, Iron Leg, Iron Crotch, Iron Knee, and Iron Back techniques through this method? If I successfully cultivate all of them, that means that I would advance into the first layer of the Golden Bell Shield. According to the book, my physical endurance will increase more than five fold as soon as the first layer of The Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique is successfully cultivated, rendering ordinary fists, kicks, and sticks ineffective. The secret manual also indicated that it even takes a decade for people with great aptitude to successfully cultivate the first layer of the Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique. I wonder how long it will take me...? Oh right, I can also try out that lightness skill secret manual that I cheated off of Ye Tiancheng...”
As Yan Liqiang spoke while sorting out his cultivation ideas, his eyes also gradually lit up...
...
The next day, Yan Liqiang continued with his extreme cultivation as he did on the first day. However, the three huge metal poles which felt extremely heavy on his back yesterday suddenly felt a lot lighter when he carried them again this morning.
Going out with the heavy load on his back, Yan Liqiang looked at the mountain path in front of him and immediately strode quickly toward the mountain...
Today, Yan Liqiang returned to the courtyard an hour later than yesterday. Not only that, he didn’t black out in the middle of his cultivation during daytime and the intensity of his cultivation also increased significantly. At the end of it, he completely exhausted his physical strength and cleared out all the vital Qi in his dantian before he weakly walked back to his courtyard again...
Two days later, another aura of light suddenly rose from Yan Liqiang’s body when he was cultivating Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing in his room at night. Following that, the silhouette of a golden bell sank into Yan Liqiang throat, indicating that he had successfully cultivated the Iron Throat technique from the various body techniques in the first layer of Golden Bell Divine Protection Technique...
A few days later, when Yan Liqiang went out in the morning with a heavy load of about a thousand jin on his back, he could still run quite swiftly as though he was flying. He could even sprint on the mountain path...
.....
When Yan Liqiang was carrying out his daily extreme cultivation in the Deer Villa, he didn’t waste his time in the Divine Sword Sect in the Heavenly Realm either.
Since his idea of extreme cultivation was effective, he made use of the same idea in the Divine Sword Sect to rapidly raise his physical strength. In any case, he only had one life in the Heavenly Realm. If he died there, then he would only have benefited a little from it. Getting a GAMEOVER in the mysterious Heaven Realm which allowed him to peep into the future and the Divine Sword Sect meant that everything would collapse along with his death in there. Getting locked out from that realm forever was an ending Yan Liqiang never wanted to meet.
Yet Yan Liqiang didn’t expect that when he was just about to go all out in the Divine Sword Sect and silently rake in a fortune, an unforeseen mission from the sect suddenly fell on his shoulders, thus shattering his peaceful life in the Divine Sword Sect...
