Half a month later, when Lufan lightly left a clear palm print several inches deep on a large blue stone, he nodded in satisfaction.
His mastery of the Soft Palm technique had reached a rather profound level.
During this half month, Lufan had made significant progress; he could feel that his strength had increased more than tenfold compared to two weeks ago.
First, the Nine Yang Divine Skill had been cultivated to the limit that the Flesh Refinement stage could accommodate after he expended ten drops of Primordial Liquid.
All that remained was to slowly nourish his body with Nine Yang internal energy, further develop his potential, and enhance his limits to accommodate more internal energy.
Secondly, he had thoroughly familiarized himself with the Flesh Refinement stage, and the Horizontal Thirteen Guardians had also been cultivated to an extremely profound level.
Now, Lufan had a tall and slender figure with streamlined muscles that exuded a sense of explosive power. Coupled with the aura of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he radiated a masculine energy.
Additionally, the Small Wuxiang Technique and Heaven and Earth Great Shift had also been basically mastered by him. The insights into the variations of internal energy were indeed exquisite, broadening Lufan's horizons and deepening his understanding of various martial principles.
In particular, Heaven and Earth Great Shift also had considerable potential for development and greatly benefited his solid foundation.
As for other martial arts, after practicing and experiencing many basic Fist Techniques, Lufan selected two forms for intensive training.
One was the Arhat Fist from Buddhism. This Fist Technique was simple but profound, characterized by its robust and ancient style with great force. It was one of the introductory Fist Techniques in Buddhism; mastering it would greatly aid in comprehending many advanced Buddhist martial arts in the future.
The other was the Soft Palm technique that Lufan had just used. This representative Taoist martial art was his best palm technique; he had already grasped its essence and understood its core principles. With a single strike, the palm force could easily shatter stones.
If it struck a human body, it would be even more devastating. An ordinary low-level Martial Cultivator would likely suffer internal injuries or even fatal damage upon impact.
The Arhat Fist and Soft Palm complemented each other well—one representing rigidity and the other softness—providing Lufan with substantial benefits in understanding the balance of hardness and softness.
With such powerful Soft Palm skills combined with Iron Cloth Shirt, Horizontal Thirteen Guardians, Nine Yang Divine Skill, Lingbo Weibu, Dugu Nine Swords, Small Wuxiang Technique, Heaven and Earth Great Shift, and other Divine Skills, Lufan believed that his combat strength now surpassed that of most low-level Martial Cultivators in the world, including those talented disciples from major super sects.
As for the intermediate Martial Cultivators above the Bone Refinement stage, Lufan compared his own combat power with that of the Black-hearted Tiger at that time and realized that he still had no confidence when facing experts in the Bone Refinement stage.
The main reason was that the momentary explosive power of the Black-hearted Tiger, when he forcibly activated his muscles and bones, was astonishing. This was under the condition that he did not possess any Secret Techniques. If he had a Secret Technique, it was hard to imagine how powerful he could become. Therefore, Lufan felt completely uncertain about combat power at that level.
This shows how rare it was for him to have killed the Black-hearted Tiger; it could be said to be a combination of wisdom and luck, an almost unrepeatable battle.
In the Martial Arts Nine Ranks, the First Rank has significant differences in strength, especially between the three major levels, which are even harder to quantify.
If others knew that Lufan had once escaped from a Martial Arts Master, it would surely shock the world; calling it a miracle of martial arts would not be impossible, and it would be worthy of being recorded in the annals of martial arts history.
However, although he had gained a lot during these days, there were also regrets. One was that Lufan had never been able to comprehend the impermanence of the Dugu Nine Swords and remained stuck at the first level of the Sharp Sword without intention. Although this was related to his focus on practicing boxing, not even having a hint showed that his talent in swordsmanship was not particularly high.
Another issue was that he had not yet practiced the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing. His research revealed that these two Divine Skills were most effective when one's body was strong enough. At this stage, if he forced himself to practice them, he might suffer injuries due to their high difficulty.
The Divine Skills of Buddhism are so domineering and effective; one must endure what ordinary people cannot in order to cultivate the Diamond Body.
Unlike Taoist martial arts, which emphasize gradual progress, the effects are undoubtedly significant. At least after reading the various effects described in the manuals, Lufan couldn't help but feel fascinated; they were incredibly powerful!
As for when it would be suitable to practice them, Lufan estimated that around the Bone Refinement or Muscle Refinement stages would be appropriate for practicing Yi Jin Jing, while he could practice Xi Sui Jing during the Marrow Refinement stage. This aligns perfectly with the essence of these two Divine Skills.
Since these two Divine Skills could not be practiced for now and other martial arts had also reached a bottleneck temporarily, what remained was merely grinding away at practice. Thus, further arduous training seemed to have little meaning.
There was no longer any need to stay in this valley; it was time for Lufan to leave.
Thinking about going back made Lufan feel excited. Although he didn't know exactly how long he had been cultivating in this valley, based on the amount of Primordial Liquid missing from the Liuli Jade Bottle, he estimated that he had been here for at least two months.
Calculating this way, he had been away from Qingyang City for over three months. With such a long time passing, Fatty and Xiao Ling must be extremely worried; pessimistically speaking, they might even think he had perished in the deep mountains.
He also wondered how Duanmu Xue and the others were doing and whether they had handed over their respective gains to Fatty. Although he currently possessed a large sum of money, those herbs were worth quite a bit as well, especially the White Jade Mushroom which was particularly precious.
Even though Duanmu Xue might see him as uncertain about life or death, Lufan still trusted her character; being called Big Sister Head wasn’t without reason.
Thinking of this, Lufan felt a strong urge to return home. There was nothing worth lingering over here. After packing his belongings, he set off towards Qingyang City.
The journey back was easy and carefree for Lufan. With his strength, he could dominate this mountain range.
He charged straight ahead, taking the most direct route, causing chaos among the nearby low-level elemental beasts, reminiscent of the old days when invaders stormed a village.
Since he only traveled in a straight line, it took him just two hours to exit the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. He quickly crossed the desolate area, and the distant Qingyang City came into view.
Standing on a small hill, looking at the city gate not far away, Lufan felt a moment of daze.
At this time, he was in tattered clothes with messy hair. Important items were hidden in his bosom, and the Qing Mang sword was wrapped in cloth and strapped to his back. He also carried a large Wild Deer on his shoulder, resembling a wild man.
This Wild Deer was a level one elemental beast with fierce antlers. Whether it was in heat or just acting foolishly, it charged at Lufan without hesitation. Lufan didn't hold back and swiftly killed it.
It would be perfect to take it back for a feast with Xiao Ling and Fatty, Lufan thought happily at that moment.
Now that Qingyang City was right before him, Lufan snapped out of his daze and shouted, "I, Hu Hansan, have returned!"
With that, he took big strides towards the city gate!
