Chapter 47: The First Transformation of the Golden Qi

  After the last experience, Zhao Long once again absorbed the golden energy to cultivate the Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique and didn't dare to do it in a crowded place. This time he ran along the coast for more than 50 kilometers before finding a desolate rocky beach. Here was already some distance from the city, there were no tourists, and there were no residents around, normally nobody would be here.

  Zhao Long found a place to clear away the stones first, now several hundred kilograms of stones are easy for Zhao Long. After exposing the ground, Zhao Long used a stone of four or five hundred kilograms as an iron hammer and smashed it violently, directly smashing the ground down by nearly two meters, with a solidity comparable to that of ordinary stones before stopping.

  The height is enough for Zhao Long to stand upright inside, and then put those stones around, looking messy, but actually sealed very well. Even if someone approaches, if they don't move these stones one by one, especially the thousand-jin heavy stone at the entrance of the cave, they can't see the situation inside.

  Zhao Long spent more than three hours doing all this, and only then did he bring the gold inside. This time, the gold bars he bought were still those relatively small ones, each weighing only 100 grams. After all, this was only his second time absorbing golden energy to refine his body, and the Nine Revolutions Five Elements Body Refining Technique became increasingly difficult as it progressed.

  Although Lao Shi also said that if you can find the wood element to match and practice body refinement, the effect will be better and the pain can be reduced a lot. Because the wood element is in charge of birth, it is also the birth element among the five elements. Although absorbing the wood element cannot make people live forever, but with the same lifespan, it can keep people in their best state at all times, activate human cells, and the effect is still very strong.

  The thing that the wooden energy needs is much more precious and rare than gold, Zhao Long can't get it now, so he can only do this for now.

  Holding a gold bar in his hand, Zhao Long sat cross-legged on the ground. The 100-gram gold bar quickly lost its enticing color and gradually became dull. At this time, Zhao Long could clearly feel the golden energy flowing from his left arm into his body.

  As the golden energy entered his body, Zhao Long followed the method of the Nine Revolutions and Five Elements Body Refining Technique taught by Lao Shi, constantly impacting and entering his bones, blood vessels, muscles, skin, and other parts, with the most intense impact being on his bones.

  During this period of exercise, fighting, and the last refinement, Zhao Long's golden energy had been refined for the seventh time. At this moment, Zhao Long was undergoing his eighth refinement, and he could clearly feel that the eighth refinement was much more difficult than before, as if it was approaching a bottleneck.

  The stronger the body, the more sensitive the feeling, and this golden energy always needs to penetrate deeper. There is a kind of rearrangement that disperses the original bone sequence and then merges it, reorganizing it. As intensity and sensitivity increase, new golden energy enters the body, tempering the body, and pain will also increase accordingly.

  Feeling the pain once again, Zhao Long's body organs went into overdrive to defend against it, his pores opening up instinctively as a large amount of heat was about to be lost due to the intense pain. At first, Zhao Long had experienced this once before, and that time it had a huge impact on his body, greatly reducing the effectiveness of his physical training. Now, Zhao Long was no longer an ignorant newbie; he had gained a whole new understanding of the human body and its power.

  Especially in the process of learning cannon fist power, the role of muscles, skeleton and skin is very large. Zhao Long has not yet practiced to control the internal organs to assist in exerting stronger punches, but the combination of bones, muscles and skin can already do it. The muscles immediately take control, completely sealing and controlling those forces, turning them into their own use.

  Zhao Long had never cultivated internal energy, because in Lao Shi's words, it was just a minor path that arose from the fact that his strength had not fallen. However, at this moment, as he controlled this power, he could feel a flow of air moving and surging within him. He faintly felt that outside his body, there was an enormous power that seemed to be everywhere, which should be the spiritual energy. Although Lao Shi said it was very thin, but for himself now, it was still boundless.

  The Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique has a method of refining the body, and also has some methods for controlling the body. It uses the body to absorb and control the powers produced within it. Then, using this power to help resist pain and reduce pain. Until this power gradually dissipates, but in this process, Zhao Long found that his control over every muscle in his body was much stronger than before.

  When exerting force with skeletal movement, one's own strength is the first priority, and intense muscle movement can produce a second change. At this moment, Zhao Long suddenly understood how he had unintentionally burst out with his double fist power when fighting Nie Gang under Lao Shi's guidance.

  Ni Gang and others should be using their internal energy to propel themselves, then separating a portion of the internal energy to control the muscles, bones, skin, and blood in coordination with each other, ultimately able to emit double-cannon fist power. However, this requires reaching a certain level, practicing the kung fu until it is ingrained in the skin and flesh, only then can one achieve this point. This requires practicing the kung fu until it is internalized, understanding its subtleties.

  "You're not bad, little one. Great me already knew without telling you."

  "Come on, didn't I ask you if it was okay?" Zhao Long despised Lao Shi.

  "This little problem, I'm too lazy to answer, but now I remember that there are still threefold cannon fist and fourfold cannon fist, since you're so capable, then take your time to think about it."

  "I will definitely learn from him, standing on the shoulders of a giant can take me further and higher." Little Li flattered Old Li with a few words.

  "That's about it, just knowing your teacher's greatness is enough. However, what you're learning now isn't very useful, just having a basic understanding is fine. These things are all about mastering one skill to understand all skills, putting the effort into your bones and flesh so that in boxing you can release double power, and in other martial arts you'll use different techniques, the techniques are different but the level of mastery should be about the same."

  "As for the triple force, it is about controlling the bones, muscles and tendons. Controlling the bones and muscles can release the second force, and when the tendons and bones are in harmony, the third force can be released. The fourth force is about controlling the blood flow, which is actually a process of gradually discovering and controlling the body's strength. The way it manifests is different, I've told you this before, even now with your current second force punch, you're just starting to grasp it, your control over bones and muscles is still at an elementary level, okay, let's continue. One step at a time is most important."

  The tone of the old loss suddenly reminded Zhao Long of a math teacher in middle school who, while explaining a problem, casually mentioned that if he used college calculus to solve it, the effect would be... It was just a passing remark, letting everyone know that this existed, but he wouldn't really delve into it because there were only drawbacks and no benefits.

  So Zhao Long didn't go after him, and instead picked up another gold bar. Now his Golden Qi's first cycle eighth refinement of the body had already reached one-third of its completion, he would focus on leveling up first. These gold bars should be enough to complete the Nine Cycles Five Elements Refining Body Technique's Golden Qi's first cycle.

  Unconsciously, time gradually passed, the sun went down, rose from the sea level again, fell again, and another two days and one night.

  "Boom…… boom…… boom……" Today's wind is very strong, the waves are not small either, and the sound of the coastline being hit is also loud. However, if you get close to that rocky beach within a few hundred meters, you can hear another sound. When you walk closer to tens of meters, you can even feel the ground shaking.

  At this moment, Zhao Long was crouching there, his feet moving like a boat, walking in the footsteps of the cannon fist. His fists were like cannonballs, pounding the ground one by one, and this practice finally completed the first turn of the Golden Qi of Zhao Long's Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique.

  Jin's aura first turned nine times to refine his body, Zhao Long had fully completed it. According to Zhao Long's own rough estimate, not only did he directly reach the lowest standard of a martial artist, but he also possessed an explosive force of nearly three thousand catties, which was much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. A martial artist, he himself had reached the realm of a martial artist!!

  At this moment, it is to test one's own strength and also to expand and deepen the cultivation place. To be able to blast through the hard ground that was previously difficult to extend further is also an achievement.

  With his current strength, the ground under his one trial was not only pounded into the ground with those discarded gold bars, but also pounded down another half meter. This also made the stone cave built by Zhao Long himself much more spacious.

  The most violent explosion, looking at the change in space here, looking at the ground becoming harder and with a black special iron quality, Zhao Long was also very satisfied. However, when he looked at his left arm, he couldn't help but sigh again. No way, his originally strong left arm had gained quite a few benefits during this body refinement of Zhao Long's, plus the previous battles and autonomous absorption of spiritual energy. Now his left arm stably possessed over 4,500 jin of strength.

  The strength of his left arm alone has already possessed the explosive power that a mid-level martial artist can possess.

  Fortunately, the distance between my left arm and body has been shortened a bit after this exercise. As long as I don't let my left arm exceed two to three times the width of my body, it won't be dangerous in the short term.

  "Lao Shi, I've already completed the first transformation of Jin Zhi Qi, what should I do next?"

  "Cultivating the energy of wood and fire is also possible, because you first cultivated the energy of metal, and then cultivating the energy of fire is a bit easier. As for the energy of wood, it is the energy of life, which can help to flourish fire, and also greatly assist in concentrating power on other things."

  Thinking of starting to cultivate the other four lines of the Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique, Zhao Long was both excited and worried. The Wood Element and Fire Element that he currently knew existed were even more expensive than gold.

  "Then can't we just get more gold and refine the Gold Essence for the second conversion?" At first, I felt that absorbing the Gold Essence from gold was a waste of money, but now I realize it's actually pretty good. At least you can buy it with money.

  "It's not that simple, unfortunately. You have to complete the first cycle of five elements before you can start the second cycle. Moreover, the effect of the golden energy in the second cycle will be weakened, and you'll need to find other ways to compensate for it. Don't worry about this for now, just focus on cultivating the wood and fire energies."

  It's only temporary, let's take it one step at a time. Thinking to himself, Zhao Long glanced at the time and immediately pushed away the boulder and went out. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and after making sure no one was around, his body suddenly accelerated, his legs exerting force, and in an instant, he had vanished from the spot.

  Since it was already the time mentioned on the invitation, Zhao Long directly dialed the phone number on the invitation. The person inside gave an address. Zhao Long then called Fatso again, and he quickly rushed to the dock.

  At this time, on the dock, there were two three-story yachts, each with dozens of people who had just set off. When Zhao Long arrived here, a person stood on one of the yachts next to him, looking at Zhao Long with a condescending gaze.

  "Boss, he's here." said into the earpiece.

  "Zhu Shifu, since he knows kung fu, you can teach him a lesson first and let him know that there are people outside of people and sky outside of sky. Wait until he boards the gambling ship, then I'll slowly play with him."

  Zhu Changjin was invited by Lei Xiangyu, and since the last time he let someone investigate Zhao Long, knowing that he had caught several wanted criminals in a row, Lei Xiangyu transferred Zhu Changjin over. This time, he also specially arranged for Zhu Changjin to come and pick up Zhao Long, with the intention of giving Zhao Long a warning shot.
