Chapter 39: Sublimation, Breakthrough! (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  After quitting the game, Li Huan found that it was already afternoon. The first thing he did was to check his internal Qi, and when he saw that his internal Qi had increased significantly, Li Huan nodded in satisfaction. Although his current cultivation was still not up to par, he felt like he was about to break through soon.

  Li Huan's true energy in his dantian has now reached the peak of the introductory chapter of the "Nine Turns of the Universe Technique". At any time, he may enter the realm of the first turn, at which point Li Huan's cultivation will be on par with that of a top-notch third-rate master.

  Li Huan eagerly took out the "Nine Turns of Qian Kun" from the ring and began to study it slowly. At this moment, Li Huan's top priority was to rapidly increase his strength. Only by becoming extremely powerful could he truly achieve a carefree and dominant state, looking down on all living things. Moreover, Li Huan carried the secret responsibility of his own life on his shoulders, and all of this depended on having great strength.

  This time, Li Huan only roughly glanced at the records of "Jiuzhuan Qiankun Quan", now he has enough time to study it carefully and see what kind of mystery it has. After all, this is the only way he can cultivate, so he must understand it thoroughly.

  The book actually doesn't contain much, just a few dozen pages, but the content is mostly profound and abstruse. The vast majority of it is incomprehensible to Li Huan, after all, he's only at a mediocre level right now, so many things are naturally beyond his understanding.

  However, he also roughly understood the characteristics of the entire skill. According to the introduction above, "Nine Turns of Qian Kun" is an unparalleled skill that can be said to have been created by seizing the creation of heaven and earth, with extraordinary mystery and strength. This is a dual-repair skill that is more difficult to cultivate than ordinary skills, and its combat power is also much stronger than that of the same level, even allowing for cross-level challenges. Generally, internal and external dual-repair skills are extremely rare.

  Like the records in "Huangdi Neijing" and "Guiguzi Qishu", most of the authentic internal family kung fu are mainly for cultivating internal power, belonging to internal cultivation methods. On the other hand, Jiuli's "Dari Shenmo" is an external cultivation method, and more common ones like Tiebushan are also external cultivation methods. However, in ancient martial arts, internal cultivation is still the main focus.

  After cultivating the "Nine Turns of Qian Kun", not only will you possess powerful true energy, but your physical body will also become incredibly strong. Like Li Huan's current physical strength, it is estimated that he has already exceeded 200 kilograms, which is already at a level that an average third-rate master can possess in terms of physical strength. Moreover, with the increase in physical strength, the flexibility of the body will also be greatly enhanced, providing a good environment for the cultivation of internal energy.

  There are also many people in the Jianghu who want to cultivate both internal and external skills, but unfortunately, they have not achieved much. This is because cultivating both internal and external skills requires a very long time, and if the internal and external skills do not match, it can easily lead to deviation from the correct path, or even cause physical harm. So far, there has been no perfect combination of internal and external skills in the Jianghu. Therefore, people who have cultivated both internal and external skills to a high level are basically non-existent, and being able to break through to the Xiantian level is already quite good.

  The Nine Turns of the Qian Kun Incantation that Li Huan is currently cultivating is a top-notch dual cultivation technique for both internal and external power, with a compatibility rate of 100%. This is absolutely unprecedented. Moreover, Li Huan can continuously increase his true energy through the game, so there's no such thing as a lack of spiritual energy in the air, which would slow down his progress. As a result, this has greatly reduced the difficulty of cultivation, and it can be said that this technique was tailor-made for Li Huan.

  Apart from that, Li Huan was only slightly familiar with other things. Due to the thinness of his true energy, he had no way of understanding too many things at present.

  However, by the time he finished reading, it was already evening, and the sky outside had darkened, with only the neon lights on the distant streets flashing continuously.

  Li Huan suddenly had an urge to go out and take a walk. Although he had been at home for the past few days, after being modified by the Purple Heart Jade Pendant, his body felt more comfortable than ever before. However, Li Huan was still unaccustomed to staying at home all the time due to his long-standing habits. Even though he no longer needed to pick up trash now, he couldn't bear the habit of being cooped up at home.

  Li Huan has now solved the problem of food and clothing, and the money he earned in the past few days, combined with the savings in his bank account, has exceeded 100,000 yuan. Although this is not a significant amount in Shanghai, an international metropolis, it is still a considerable fortune for Li Huan.

  Li Huan thought for a moment, then simply tidied up and put on some casual clothes before heading out. The area around Li Huan's home was mostly inhabited by poor people, with very poor living conditions. Many vagrants and beggars would spend the night here, and there were no public facilities nearby. The nearest streetlight was over 200 meters away on foot.

  Li Huan was walking aimlessly on the street alone, possibly because of the cool weather tonight, or maybe because of the maintenance of "Wuji" tonight. Anyway, there were many more pedestrians on the road than before, and many couples were strolling around.

  Looking at the couples and married pairs on the road, Li Huan couldn't help but think of Wu Xin, and recall the happy times they spent together. However, very soon, a cold indifference replaced the expression on his face, clearly indicating that he had thought of Wu Xin's later transformation.

  Whenever he thinks of the two people, Li Huan feels a inexplicable pang in his heart. To him, that first love was extremely important. For someone who had never received much care since childhood, his first love gave him endless hope. At the same time, he cherished and enjoyed that relationship exceptionally, but the final result turned out to be like that, which is something he cannot accept no matter what.

  Although it can't be said that Wu Xin is entirely to blame, it's clear that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. However, this doesn't deny that Wu Xin wasn't dedicated or determined enough in her emotions. Perhaps this has something to do with Wu Xin's upbringing environment - as a lovable little princess at home, she always fantasized about having a beautiful romance and infinitely idealized her partner. When she finally realized that Li Huan was far from the Prince Charming in her heart, she couldn't accept it. With some people constantly destroying her last line of defense with their gossip and finger-pointing, she ultimately chose to give up on Li Huan.

  But she didn't understand what this meant to Li Huan, it was as if a wounded person saw someone bring them medicine only to find out that it was actually poison inside, undoubtedly pouring salt on Li Huan's fragile wound.

  Although Li Huan also found the guilt and apology in her eyes, it was meaningless to Li Huan. Although she didn't mock or ridicule Li Huan like others did, Li Huan couldn't forgive her and would never understand how much heart and hope Li Huan had invested in that relationship.

  "Ah, forget it, let the past be the past. The old Li Huan is dead, and the current Li Huan is the real one. Let those bastards from before go to hell!" Li Huan shouted in his heart, and suddenly he felt a sense of clarity and openness, the gloominess in his heart reduced greatly, and his overall demeanor gave off less coldness and more sunshine and majesty.

  At the same time, Li Huan's internal Qi was also slightly shaken, and the speed of its operation suddenly accelerated, and it actually rushed towards the meridians. At this time, Li Huan also felt a pain that he had never experienced before, which was applied to his heart, and as the Qi continued to impact, that pain became more and more terrifying.

  Li Huan stood there in a daze, his facial expression also becoming extremely ferocious. For Li Huan, every second now seemed as long as a century.

  "Hum, hum, hum!" After an unknown period of time, the true energy in Li Huadan's abdomen suddenly seemed to find a vent and frantically rushed towards the meridians inside his body. At the same time, the route of the true energy also underwent a tremendous change, becoming even more mysterious. The true energy inside his body was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, constantly breaking through one barrier after another. In Li Huadan's body, every cell began to slowly secrete tiny threads of true energy, which then merged into the vast army of true energy.

  It wasn't until more than an hour later that the true energy in Li Huan's body finally calmed down, and at this time, the true energy in his body had increased by more than ten times its original amount. The originally empty meridians now had several meridians filled with colorless true energy, and the true energy inside his body had formed a small cycle in his meridians. The route of the true energy's circulation was even more complex and unparalleled.

  "This, this is the second turn? How is this possible? It's only been a short while and I've already reached the second turn? Is this what they call enlightenment?" Li Huan thought to himself, then felt the powerful energy within him surge up, and suddenly he felt an overwhelming aura. He now felt that he could easily knock out a cow with just one punch.

  Actually, Li Huan's thoughts were not bad at all. This was indeed a kind of epiphany. Li Huan had been undergoing transformation by the Purple Heart Jade Pendant since he was young, and these few days were just his true awakening. In the past, the Purple Heart Jade Pendant would transform his body while he slept, infusing some true energy into Li Huan's body. However, in the past, he couldn't activate it, so they all lay dormant. This time, Li Huan's spiritual upgrade triggered the circulation of true energy in his body, and the true energy that had been dormant for many years was also activated. As a result, Li Huan's true energy suddenly reached the early stage of the second turn, and a small cycle was initially formed within his body. This could be considered a case of "thick accumulation and thin release".

  The surge in power made Li Huan feel like letting out a loud roar, but fortunately he restrained himself. At the same time, he didn't know whether to hate Wu Xin or thank her, as this breakthrough was only achieved after resolving his emotional knot. Then Li Huan shook his head and suppressed the thoughts in his mind, forcibly burying Wu Xin's shadow deep within his heart.

  No sooner had Wu Xin's figure disappeared from his mind than Li Hua's brain suddenly conjured up the image of Yu Hou's face, fresh and elegant yet full of temptation. Thinking of that enchanting smile on Yu Hou's rain-washed face, a ripple of emotions rose in Li Hua's heart.

  "My god, what's going on? Why did I think of her? How could we possibly be together? We only met once, and although she's beautiful, she's definitely a rose with thorns, and will surely leave me wounded in the end." Li Huan was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but shake his head.
