Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The So-Called Supreme Art

Canglang Martial Arts Hall.

“Mr. Shen, what brings you here today?”

“How does Elder Wang feel about the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill after testing it personally?” Shen Congyun asked with a smile.

“So that’s why you came, Mr. Shen!”

“What else?” Shen Congyun replied with a slight smile, continuing, “Or did Brother Wang think I came to invest in the disciples of your martial arts hall? At Wanhua Building, our investments are always choosey, never excessive, seeking only that which is fated—once we see something that catches our eye, we invest.”

Wang Jin nodded, “That’s true, the so-called geniuses of ordinary circumstances could hardly catch Mr. Shen and Wanhua Building’s discerning eyes.”

Shen Congyun simply smiled noncommittally.

Indeed, Wanhua Building makes investments and forges relationships with genuine martial arts talents.

The reason Wanhua Building could expand so greatly was its gift of recognizing talents, betting on prodigies before their rise, making investments.

Providing timely help wins true friendships.

With such relationships spread all over the world and across various powers, how could Wanhua Building not grow large?

His previous befriending of Wang Jin was also due to this factor.

As the two talked, they continued walking toward the back courtyard of the martial arts hall.

Wang Jin said, “Just now, Mr. Shen mentioned the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is indeed miraculous; truly a legitimate Inner Strength Method from Daoist teachings. I feel much rejuvenated and see potential for further improvement.” @@novelbin@@

Shen Congyun glanced sidelong at Wang Jin, remotely sensing his breathing rhythm and the beating of his heart.

“So, Brother Wang had successfully cultivated the torn page I gave you?”

Wang Jin nodded, his eyes sparkling, “I did, I officially began a few days ago! Now I feel much rejuvenated, as though I’ve grown five to ten years younger.”

“Brother Wang indeed possesses remarkable talent!” Shen Congyun praised.

“What’s remarkable?” Wang Jin shook his head, “If it weren’t for the box of secret medicine you gave me, I would never have sensed the so-called Essence Qi of the universe, let alone begin its cultivation.”

Shen Congyun shook his head with a smile, “Even with that box of secret medicine, ordinary people still wouldn’t be able to sense the Sun Essence. Brother Wang’s innate spiritual wisdom is truly extraordinary.”

“For someone to begin cultivation within just two months with the secret medicine represents Brother Wang’s exceptional nature. It’s no wonder Brother Wang could reach the peak of Martial Arts Seventh Grade in this small town.”

As he spoke, Shen Congyun appeared quite emotional.

At that moment, Wang Jin looked puzzled, “I’ve heard Mr. Shen mention spiritual wisdom many times, saying I have innate spiritual wisdom. What exactly is this wisdom?”

Shen Congyun replied with a smile, “Brother Wang may not know, during the Ancient Era, in the Immortal God Era, only those with innate spiritual wisdom could cultivate the immortal pathway. If successfully cultivated, one could stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, unbound and free, achieving great liberty and vast freedom.”

“Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is an ultimate skill derived from the ancient immortal method; only those with innate spiritual wisdom can perceive the Essence Qi of the Great Sun using my secret medicine and cultivate this skill.”

At that moment, Wang Jin looked shocked.

“Did Mr. Shen just say, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is a superior martial art? An ultimate skill ranked even above superior martial arts?”

Shen Congyun smiled, “Indeed, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is an ultimate skill ranked above the superior ones. Moreover, it is extremely mysterious and exquisite even among these ultimate skills.”

“What price would Mr. Shen demand to teach me this Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill?” Wang Jin asked, his eyes immediately revealing a longing look.

As a martial artist, who wouldn’t desire a powerful martial arts skill?

Not to mention, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is an ultimate skill that strengthens the internal organs and provides solid help, enhancing bodily functions and prolonging life.

In this way, he would have an opportunity to advance further, stepping into the ranks of Martial Arts Sixth Grade.

“Easy to say!” Shen Congyun continued with a smile, “We call each other brothers, and I see great talent in Brother Wang, naturally, I am willing to invest in you. Thus, if Brother Wang wishes to learn this Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, it certainly won’t be difficult.”

“Only…”

Wang Jin immediately took over the topic, “Only what?”

Shen Congyun continued, “Only, be mentally prepared, this Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is incomplete. I myself have not been able to cultivate it to the level of Perfection; I only have the technique up to the Great Success Realm.”

“What level can it be cultivated to?” Wang Jin quickly asked, as this technique concerned his ability to recover bodily functions and pursue the path of Martial Arts Sixth Grade, he naturally cared deeply about it.

Shen Congyun replied, “I have cultivated the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill only to the level of the Great Success Realm; it lacks the crucial Perfect Method. However, even the Great Success level of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is comparable to superior martial arts, so if Brother Wang’s ability reaches the level of Great Success, achieving the Five Internal Organs Thunder Sound and Inner Breath Like Gang, it also means reaching the Great Success Realm of Internal Strength, and you could step into the ranks of Martial Arts Fourth Grade.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a smile.

“That’s enough! Even as an incomplete method, if it’s comparable to superior martial arts, and I can cultivate it to the Great Success Realm of Internal Strength with the Five Internal Organs Thunder Sound and Inner Breath Like Gang, isn’t that more than enough? A martial arts strongman with Fifth Grade Internal Strength’s Great Success is no more than this.”

Shen Congyun sighed slightly with a look full of deep regret, “True, but the most core, most essence part of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is the Perfect Realm.”

“Attracting the Fire of the Great Sun at Noon into the body, the body like a furnace, internally refining the Golden Core.”

“Once the Golden Core is formed, it symbolizes the legend: swallowing a Golden Core into one’s belly, my destiny becomes independent of heaven’s will.”

“In this way, it is truly an ultimate skill, at least securing a lifespan of over a hundred years, and the Inner Breath would undergo a qualitative change.”

On hearing this, Wang Jin’s eyes also brightened; such a powerful Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill shattered his understanding.

Immediately, his expression dimmed slightly.

Because the core of this technique was missing, even the Vice Building Owner of Wanhua Building, Shen Congyun, couldn’t find this missing core method—what chance did he have?

At this moment, Shen Congyun and Wang Jin walked side by side, and Shen was very satisfied with Wang Jin.

Wang Jin, an unexpectedly discovered talent with innate spiritual wisdom, led Shen to probe and, after validating Wang Jin’s entry into Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, he became thoroughly determined to invest in and support Wang Jin.

Wanhua Building’s ability to expand throughout the Nine States of Great Xia in any county was due to its vast and deep connections.

Whenever they discover invest-worthy talents, they often support them when they are weak or resolve their difficulties when they face hardships.

As the saying goes, many add flowers to brocade, but few send charcoal in snowy weather.

Such investments, once the supported talents grow, result in enormous gains.

The gratitude of a strong person is immeasurably valuable.

And Wang Jin was a talent valued by Shen Congyun.

Talents, even if they are older, remain talents.
