Chapter 108: Chapter 104: Skill Breakthrough and Black Dragon Spear
The new year quickly passed.
The next day marked the beginning of a new year, but due to the cold weather, people in the village didn’t venture out, mainly huddling at home waiting for the spring to plant crops.
Wang Sheng also took a rare few days off, setting aside his self-discipline for several days.
However, after resting well, he quickly reentered his cultivation state.
He had several important skills nearing breakthroughs, such as Inner Core Skill, and Ba Duan Jin; each one was extremely important, so he valued them highly.
“Realm—
Refining Essence and Qi. Producing Medicine: 82% Blood Qi Smoke: 40%
Cultivation Technique—
Inner Core Skill (Refining Essence to Qi): Breakthrough+3 (92%) Ba Duan Jin: Breakthrough+3 (96%) Five Elements Fist: Breakthrough+1 (97%) Yijin Scripture: Breakthrough+1 (99%)
Life—

Forging: 3 (10%)
Mechanical Techniques: 5 (65%)
Martial Skills—
Eight Extreme Fists: Breakthrough+1 (97%) Plum Flower Step: Breakthrough+1 (95%) Six Harmonies Spear: Breakthrough+1 (75%)”
Overall, basically all important skills were about to breakthrough.
Of course, the majority of skill breakthroughs were secondary breakthroughs; Wang Sheng didn’t expect much change, but with all progressing beyond ninety percent, he felt the need to grind them to breakthrough, otherwise, it wouldn’t sit well with him.
Actually, according to his original plan, many of these skills should have already broken through. However, because he wanted to synchronize his Planting Skill previously, he neglected the training of some skills, hence now many were close to breakthrough.
Having made his decision, Wang Sheng began to act.
“Next, let’s break through the martial skills first!”
Post New Year, he was full of vigor, immersing himself completely in skill cultivation.
Thus—
Seven days later, Eight Extreme Fists broke through, enhancing its application of the Qi Blood Power.
On the eighth day, Plum Flower Step broke through, increasing his speed significantly.
He simply tested it; now when he moved using Plum Flower Step, in Da Bai’s eyes, it appeared like Instant Teleportation—almost instantly moving from one place to another.
The breakthroughs of these two martial skills further strengthened Wang Sheng’s combat power, but these changes were anticipated, nothing surprising.
After all, they had not achieved breakthroughs three times, which would have led to qualitative changes.
On the tenth day, both Yijin Scripture and Five Elements Fist achieved double breakthroughs.
These two cultivation technique skills, the final breakthrough results of Yijin Scripture were similar to Eight Extreme Fists and Plum Flower Step.
They were helpful but didn’t lead to qualitative changes.
It was just further strengthening of physique, significantly enhancing strength, achieving standard effects.
Five Elements Fist, however, strengthened the vitality of the internal organs, and its effect from exercising twice after breakthrough, actually gave Wang Sheng a huge surprise.
Five Elements Fist strengthened the internal organs, which helped the movement of Qi Blood Power along the meridians, focusing the strength of the internal organs on the kidneys—the source of power for the Inner Core Skill; Essence Qi emerged from there.
With stronger internal organs, the Qi Blood Power not only became more potent but also moved more smoothly.
Wang Sheng used inner vision to observe the spirit light within his Dantian and could sense it becoming stronger, while the merging of Qi Blood Power and “spirit” became more integrated.
“Unexpectedly, the skill that helped me most after training turned out to be Five Elements Fist.”
The effectiveness of Five Elements Fist somewhat exceeded Wang Sheng’s expectations. However, in Inner Core Skill, the internal organs were very important; so after careful consideration, it was understandable.
“In that case, I should be able to complete the ‘Producing Medicine’ step more quickly, right?”
“Refining Essence and Qi. Producing Medicine” is a step that eventually forms a “Small Medicine,” also known as True Seed.
Only after achieving the “True Seed” can the Great Medicine be formed.
Therefore, Wang Sheng highly prioritized this step, paying extra attention to any skills that could aid this process.
“Five Elements Fist seems to be a skill that needs to be focused on as well, utilizing it well will have significant effects.”
He quickly made his judgment.
But as important as Five Elements Fist was, Ba Duan Jin was still essential, as it was his foundational practice, but because it was at “Breakthrough+3,” progress was slow.
On the eighteenth day, it finally broke through again, reaching “Breakthrough+4.”
Although breaking through four times didn’t lead to fundamental qualitative changes, the effect of Ba Duan Jin’s breakthrough enhanced, increasing resource consumption and once again accelerating his training speed.
Thus, Inner Core Skill, originally set to breakthrough in a month, also successfully reached “Breakthrough+4” on the twenty-fifth day.
Inner Core Skill was one of Wang Sheng’s most important skills, unrivaled.
Because it was his foundational method, the path he followed.
The presence of Inner Core Skill ensured that after the birth of Qi Blood Power, it began to impact and repair the body, ensuring that after Foundation Establishment was completed, Qi Blood Power would start from the Dantian and move along the meridians.
Therefore, the cultivation difficulty of Inner Core Skill was also the highest, with a slow progress bar growth.
Of course, after the breakthrough of Inner Core Skill, Wang Sheng felt a noticeable difference; the movement of Qi Blood Power already had its speed increased significantly by the breakthrough of Five Elements Fist.
