My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chen Mansion, the back courtyard.

"Buzz——"

"Whoosh——"

Si Qin, holding food and drink, stopped at the entrance to the back courtyard, listening to the noises inside that frightened her so much she didn't dare to come any closer. There was just a door separating them, yet it sounded as if a gale was blowing inside.

She didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, gently put the things down at the door, and slipped away.

Another late autumn had come.

The thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard gradually gathered together beneath the Jiao Long-like dance of the long spear, eventually forming a golden tornado that swept through, shattering one flower bed after another, with the sound of popping and cracking continuously erupting.

Inside Chen Sansi's body, the blood of the dragon and elephant boiled and surged; his Xuan Yuan's five organs were operating at full capacity, maintaining the Blood Explosion State while continuously generating powerful energy, which was then infused into the Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear without stop.

The path of Martial Arts.

One misstep leads to a cascade of more.

Starting with Qi-Blood, if one is naturally inferior to others, as their realms climb higher, the gap between the same levels will grow wider and wider, eventually forming a chasm too great to cross. This was the very reason why Selected Point deemed the bone assessment stage so crucial.

Only martial artists with a strong physique could cultivate a more solid foundation.

At this very moment.

Chen Sansi continuously tested his limits to refine the purity and strength of his energy.

With small achievement in Hua Jin, it meant to enhance one's weapon with energy.

And with great success, one could externalize the energy to form a layer of force around the weapon, achieving a terrifying offensive power. Even without the weapon's blade making contact with the opponent, it could still inflict damage.

If one were unarmed, using only hands, they could still block a sharp blade with pure energy, provided their energy is indeed more powerful than the opponent's, and they wouldn't hurt themselves.

Every time Chen Sansi thrust his long spear, he felt the energy infused on the gun tip grew stronger; gradually, it began to spill over the tip and then spread outward. He kept pushing himself deliberately, exhausting every bit of energy until he was worn out and had drained the last whiff of energy from his body.@@novelbin@@

Then came a qualitative change.

After the extreme pain, his body ascended once more; the energy born from his Qi-Blood and internal organs became more refined. When added to a Mystical Weapon, it was like an extendable sharp sword, expanding around it. Upon reaching the gun tip, it formed an invisible force wrapping around the blade.

Breakthrough!

Hua Jin had achieved great success!

[Utility:..., True Dragon Strength]

[True Dragon Strength: The energy rampages, akin to a True Dragon]

The energy of a common person can be simply described as adding another invisible blade around the weapon's edge; it's static, with only the differences in strength and no special qualities.

But the energy of the True Dragon Strength is alive!

"Buzz——"

Chen Sansi gripped the spear shaft with both hands, enhancing it with energy. The Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear trembled incessantly, especially the buzzing from the gun tip, as if several small dragons were circling around the blade.

He didn't use any moves or let the spear tip actually touch any object, just slowly pushed the long spear with True Dragon Strength, and when he was still more than an inch away from a potted plant, the ceramic pot burst open with a bang.

Such a weak reference object still couldn't manifest the full extent of the power.

If he had to describe it, Chen Sansi felt that the True Dragon Strength outside his spear tip was like a chainsaw that could attack twice upon contact with an enemy, bound to be highly effective in real combat.

"Done!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath, "Next, it's time to hit the Meridian Passage."

The cultivation technique for the Meridian Passage Realm.

Shortly after returning to Liangzhou, Sun Li brought it to him, still the National Guardian Dragon Spear, complete with the techniques up to the Xuanxiang Realm, including annotations and insights.

She hadn't given it to him all at once before because she must have added these things later.

Speaking of which.

His master had vanished since he went to the Capital City, an ordinary man gone without a trace nearly a year, including the chaos in Ming State where it was rumored that the Emperor himself almost took to the field.

Chen Sansi guessed there must have been something more important for him to attend to.

But honestly, even his master's presence didn't have much significance for his cultivation anymore.

As the saying goes, "The master guides you through the entry, but your progress depends on yourself."

He had the cultivation technique and the supply of treasure medicine had never been interrupted.

What remained was solely reliant on his own effort.

Speaking of which, Chen Sansi had been anything but frugal with the treasure medicine, devouring it continuously as long as he could digest it. After Hua Jin, each pill could be worth thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, a cost that most officials would find unaffordable.

Originally.

His master demanded that he reach Martial Saint within three years.

Now, a year had passed, and two major realms remained: Meridian Passage, Profound Image Realm, and finally Martial Saint.

With enough resources...

Perhaps?

One can only do one's best and leave the rest to fate.

After a brief rest, Chen Sansi ate the food left at the door and then went back inside to lock the room. He took out a Xuanzhu filled with White Xuan Qi and purple incense, starting to practice the Sword Qi Skill.

Once certain that the practice of magic would not be affected by the incense, he could confidently and boldly use it.

Chen Sansi sat cross-legged, eyes closed, focusing on meditation.

He held the Xuanzhu in his hand and, under the pull of his Spirit Root, continuously drew the energy from the incense into his body before circulating it within his meridians according to the pathways of the Sword Qi Skill.
