Chapter Twenty: Breakthrough in Washing the Marrow

  Lan Caihe left, but his words had a profound impact on Song Qingchu. What Song Qingchu did not expect was that he originally thought it was just crossing over to Jin Laoshi's "The Legend of the Condor Hero", but now it seems that things are not so simple. The strange gate rivers and lakes have appeared, what about the immortal world? Will there be those divine skills that can ride a sword for thousands of miles and enter and exit the heavens?

  Although there were all sorts of worries, fortunately Song Qingchu came from the future and had a super strong ability to accept new things.

  At the same time, there was also a little bit of joy in his heart, and he didn't know why.

  But anyway, as the saying goes, 'when the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up'. For now, these troublesome things are not for oneself to worry about. When one really has the ability, Song Qing believes that when the time comes, it will be 'the road will appear when the car reaches the mountain, and the bridge will naturally be straight at the head of the waterway'.

  Whatever will be, will be.

  Putting down the things in his heart, Song Qing felt that his realm had improved a bit again.

  Next time, everything returned to its original trajectory. Song Qing Shu continued to follow the established plan, practicing swordplay during the day, refining his palm skills, engaging in actual combat, and taking snake gall to cultivate his internal energy at night.

  Flowers bloom and wither, tides rise and fall. Focusing on one thing is the easiest way to make people forget about time. Before you know it, half a month has passed.

  According to Song Qing's own estimate, he might have broken through the marrow washing in about a month. Unexpectedly, because he had put down his distracting thoughts, Song Qing's state of mind was elevated, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he was about to break through ten days ahead of schedule. It was truly an unexpected joy.

  Tonight, Song Qingyu took the snake gall as usual to cultivate his internal energy, and was about to rest when he suddenly found that his internal energy started circulating automatically after stopping his cultivation.

  Song Qing saw this and couldn't help but feel great joy, because this was a precursor to a breakthrough in his skills! If he broke through now, Song Qing would be considered a top-notch expert in the Jianghu.

  If it is said that Song Qingchu is now just an unremarkable martial artist, but once he breaks through, Song Qingchu will become a top-notch third-rate expert.

  Don't underestimate this third-rate master. The boundaries of the Jianghu are divided into: non-mainstream masters, third-rate masters, second-rate masters, first-rate masters and top-notch masters, as well as the legendary innate masters.

  Nowadays, the recognized Zhang Sanfeng in the Jianghu is only a top-notch master, although he is only one step away from being a congenital master. However, as the saying goes, 'losing by a hair's breadth, missing by a thousand miles', although it's just a short step, countless heroes and heroes have been stuck there since ancient times, making it difficult to make progress. It's said that taking this one step can lead to a completely different world, and when the time comes, it may really be possible to achieve enlightenment through martial arts.

  According to Song Qing's estimation, Zhang Sanfeng may have created Tai Chi Sword only after ten years of breakthrough.

  However, top-notch masters in the Jianghu can be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Apart from Zhang Sanfeng, it's hard to find a single top-notch master on the surface of the Jianghu. Of course, whether there are any hidden ones is not something that Song Qingyu would know. That's why there's the saying that Zhang Sanfeng is the number one master in the world. However, top-notch masters are like nuclear weapons and won't be easily deployed. It's the first-rate masters who are the top powers in the Jianghu. The leaders of the top sects in the Jianghu are usually first-rate masters, such as Kong Wen Master of Shaolin, Mie Jue Master of Emei, and also the Left and Right Messengers of the Ming Cult, the Four Guardian Kings, etc.

  The leaders of ordinary sects are generally just second-rate masters, such as Xian Yu Tong of the Hua Shan Sect.

  So third-rate masters are the backbone of the Jianghu. The usual emergence of certain heroes, certain village heads and so on, are just third-rate masters.

  Without further ado, Song Qing felt that he was about to break through and knew that the opportunity was hard to come by, so he didn't dare to slack off and quickly took out the strong wine soaked in snake gall.

  It's because the smell and bitterness of snake gall are too strong, although it's just a small problem, but since we can make the taste slightly better and eat less bitter, why not?

  The liquor is the strongest wine brewed by Song Qingxue in Xiangyang City, with ten snake gallbladders added to each bottle. This not only greatly improves the flavor but also helps preserve it. Most importantly, directly swallowing a snake gallbladder would be a huge waste of its medicinal properties. The reason why elixirs have been created since ancient times is precisely because directly consuming those precious materials is too wasteful. When cultivating, drinking just one mouthful is enough; although the effect may not be as good as eating a raw snake gallbladder, it has the advantage of being gentle in its medicinal properties.

  Song Qing took out a bottle of wine, flipped his hand to unscrew the cap, and drank it all in big gulps. After finishing, he threw away the bottle.

  The Wudang Internal Elixir Washing Marrow Chapter begins to transport the Grand Heavenly Cycle, and after refining the Snake Wine, its medicinal properties are directly transformed into a vast amount of internal energy. If Song Qing's tendons and veins were rivers, then the internal energy transformed from the medicinal properties would be the rolling river water, and the bottleneck of washing the marrow was no longer obstructed in the face of this withering and decaying internal energy.

  Although the surging internal force has a great effect on breaking through, everything has a degree. Once it's exceeded, it will damage the tendons and veins. So Song Qing didn't dare to relax at all, using his full strength to operate his skills, turning the medicinal properties into a runaway horse-like internal force that he could control.

  As Wudang Internal Skill circulated repeatedly, the momentum of the violent and tyrannical rock flow was quickly dissipated and weakened.

  After transporting for countless weeks, the originally violent rock flow finally slowly transformed into warm streams, following the circulation of Wudang internal power throughout the body, gradually being assimilated into pure yang true energy, and finally returning to the dantian.

  When it was brought to the point of perfection, Song Qing felt a loud noise, a buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything. When he came to again, Song Qing found that what his ears heard and what his eyes saw were completely different.

  Within dozens of meters, the sound of gentle breeze rustling through tree tops, the trail of crawling insects, everything is so clear and distinct.

  Song Qing knew that he had finally broken through the boundary of washing his marrow and entered a brand new realm.

  Under the stirring of true energy, Song Qing couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a loud shout. The sound was like a dragon's roar in a vast marsh, or a tiger's howl in a deep valley, carrying far away and echoing through the small hills and surrounding areas.

  Song Qing had previously read that when one's internal skills reach a certain level, they often involuntarily make strange sounds. Song Qing used to think this was just pretentious, but now he understands that it is not necessary to suppress his excitement and that the path of cultivation involves sudden breakthroughs after long periods of closed-door meditation, and letting out a loud whoop has an extremely important effect on releasing one's mind.
