A refined dwelling, a courtyard.

A few drizzles of rain play in the warm sunshine, while fragrant grasses indifferently entwine around the low wall.

Bai Cang returned to the courtyard, and suddenly a light rain began to fall.

The drizzle was light and carried a slight chill, but it could not extinguish the burning flame in his heart.

After popping a small health-preserving pill into his mouth, a wisp of true energy was generated in no time.

Bai Cang reached out and picked up the gilded bronze vajra at his feet. The profound meaning of the Great Vajra instantly flashed through his mind.

"The pestle is a heavy weapon, its killing method is brutal and its killing power is fierce. It emphasizes force and weight. If hit, the victim will suffer broken bones or die on the spot!"

"Therefore, this fighting style requires the use of the whole body!"

"Power originates from the ground, is generated in the feet, is generated in the legs, passes through the waist to the shoulders, and is finally transmitted to the arms, twisting all the strength of the body into a rope."

"A single strike is as powerful as wind and thunder, yet it is also exquisite, emphasizing the overlapping force. If the strike misses, it returns with the momentum and strikes again, each strike heavier than the last, each blow more powerful than the last..."

"Such overlapping waves, with continuous force, are like a raging thunderbolt, as ceaseless as the wind..."

In an instant.

Decades of experience in honing fighting and killing techniques flooded his mind instantly.

Holding the gilded bronze vajra, Bai Cang felt the rhythm of "man and weapon as one" and constantly adjusted his breathing.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the pestle pierced the air, roaring like thunder.

The fine rain, like a curtain, was instantly shattered by the bombardment.

The shadows of the pestles, like a violent storm, seemed to shatter the very air.

Even a large bluestone, the size of a millstone, would probably be reduced to dust.

But after a short while, Bai Cang suddenly stopped moving, saying, "Although the Great Vajra Pestle is more focused on external skills, it doesn't consume much true energy."

"But my current amount of true energy is too little; it's simply not enough."

With a thought, he popped another small health-preserving pill into his mouth.

After a dozen or so breaths, he was full of energy again.

He practiced intermittently, and soon all ten small health-preserving pills were used up.

The amount of true qi in Bai Cang's dantian also increased to a "many" fifteen strands.

"Next up is the Great Health Pill!"

Bai Cang took out a small jade bottle, poured out a pill the size of a longan, and swallowed it.

"boom!"

The next moment.

A surge of potent and volatile medicinal power suddenly exploded from my stomach.

Bai Cang quickly assumed the stance of the Hunyuan Stance and began to practice internal cultivation techniques such as the "Transportation Method" and the "Breathing Method".

"call!"

"suck!"

In an instant.

Bai Cang suddenly felt as if he had transformed into a stream of true energy, which flowed into his limbs and bones with each breath, making his senses extremely sharp.

He could even hear the sound of his own blood flowing, a "whoosh" like the Yangtze River.

One strand, two strands, three strands...

Ten strands, twenty strands, thirty strands...

This "Great Nourishing Pill" actually increased his true qi by a full thirty strands, causing the amount of true qi in his dantian to jump to forty-five strands.

"Now is the time to break into the second tier!"

The white, divine energy merged with true qi, surging powerfully towards the Yingxiang acupoint beside the nostril.

Then, it ascends along the nose, passing through acupoints such as Chengqi, Sibai, Juliao, Dicang, Daying, Jiache, Xiaguan, Touwei, Renying, Shuitu, Qishe, Quepen, Qihu, Kufang, Wuyi, Yingchuang, Ruzhong, Rugen, Burong, Chengman, Liangmen, Guanmen, Taiyi, Huaroumen, Tianshu, Wailing, Daju, Shuidao, Guilai, Qichong, Biguan, Futu, Yinshi, Liangqiu, Dubi, Zusanli, Shangjuxu, Tiaokou, Xiajuxu, Fenglong, Jiexi, Chongyang, Xiangu, Neiting, and Lidui.

Finally, the special meridian of the dorsum of the foot branches off from the Chongyang acupoint on the dorsum of the foot and enters the Yinbai acupoint on the inner side of the big toe, connecting with the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.

At this point, the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, one of the twelve primary meridians, has been fully connected, and the first major acupoint of the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian has also been opened.

This meridian is paired with the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and is mainly used to treat gastrointestinal diseases and diseases of the head and face.

But at this moment, Bai Cang's greatest feeling was a surge in strength.

It was dusk, and the setting sun was sinking in the west.

Bai Cang's eyes lit up, and he felt his physical strength surge and his energy explode.

This feels so good!

Bai Cang couldn't help but become deeply immersed in it.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had felt the exhilaration of physical growth so clearly.

This feeling is more pronounced and intense than any exercise.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Bai Cang suppressed the urge to roar to the sky, kicked up the gilded bronze vajra, and then performed another set of vajra strikes.

I felt my true energy surge and the first meridian open up, and many of my moves became smooth and fluid.

Countless hammer shadows swept across the sky, creating a vacuum as they flew through the rain.

It cannot be pierced by a needle, nor can it be soaked by water.

If Bai Cang hadn't retained some rationality, he might have even considered testing his skills on someone.

"This is true martial arts! This is true violence!"

Bai Cang felt a sense of relief, and the gloom in his heart seemed to dissipate considerably.

Once you enter the second tier, it's a completely different world.

The breathing and movement techniques of the Great Vajra Pestle, along with the external training methods such as footwork, pestle techniques, and energy manipulation, complement each other, forming a harmonious whole.

Bai Cang felt his true energy flowing continuously as he unleashed one set of Great Vajra Pestle after another, without feeling tired at all. In fact, he felt more and more exhilarated as he fought.

"Layer upon layer of waves, Weituo vanquishes the demon!"

With his consummate skills, Bai Cang seemed like a veteran martial artist who had been immersed in the art for decades, his moves were skillful and exquisite, and he could use all kinds of killing moves with ease.

Even the ultimate move of the "Great Vajra Pestle": Vajra's Great Subduing of Demons, was mastered at this moment.

"boom!"

In an instant.

Bai Cang slammed his pestle down, and a white line of air exploded outwards.

An overwhelming and unstoppable surge of violent power caused him to involuntarily loosen his grip.

The gilded bronze vajra was thrown from his hand, like a trump card, and sank three feet into the ground.

"The Great Vajra Pestle emphasizes continuous and overlapping power, with the force of thunder and the wind never ceasing."

"But the final move, the Great Subduing of Demons by Wei Tuo, unleashes all the momentum and power accumulated beforehand, causing terrifying damage."

"The Great Vajra Pestle, a move of consummate skill, should be able to combine the power of thirty-six pestles in one strike, producing thirty-six sounds with each strike."

"But my cultivation is too weak right now. I can only exert the force of 'one strike, three sounds'. If I exceed this limit, I will lose control and it will be easy to hurt myself."

The weapon slipped from my hand, and my tiger's mouth burned with pain.

Bai Cang simply flicked his hand, exhaled a breath of stale air, and dispersed the rain curtain in front of him.

"To have just entered the second tier, congratulations!"

"If I combine this with the Five Ghosts Secret Manual and activate the Five Ghosts Possession state, even a top-tier expert might be killed by my single blow under extreme burst damage!"

"But cultivation is the foundation, so I still need to continue taking the medicine!"

"But where will this money come from?"

Bai Cang's mind raced, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

We can't keep relying on cheating, deception, and extortion forever, can we?
