Chapter 162: Chapter 161: Inner Power Heart Method (Request for Subscription and Monthly Tickets) "The realm was stable, but my aura also became somewhat stronger than before. Ordinary people might not notice, but fellow Inner Power Realm Martial Artists would surely sense it subtly." Bai Ziyue felt the difference in his aura, and naturally, some concerns arose in his heart. Moreover, when he once again performed the Breath Concealing Technique, although the aura weakened somewhat, it still failed to hide that thriving life aura unique to an Inner Power Realm Martial Artist. *Thoughts turned in his mind, and Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but open the Attribute Panel.* "Consume 932 Soul Energy points to upgrade the Breath Concealing Technique to Small Success!" "Consume 2000 Soul Energy points to upgrade the Breath Concealing Technique to Great Success!" "Consume 4000 Soul Energy points to upgrade the Breath Concealing Technique to Perfection!" "Upgrade!" "Upgrade!" "Upgrade!" Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Ziyue directly chose to upgrade. In an instant, countless insights about the Breath Concealing Technique emerged in his mind, various breath concealing skills and methods flowed through his heart, as if he had practiced them thousands of times, fully mastering them. "Concealing Qi and Blood, concealing Inner Strength, even altering aura, enhancing momentum..." Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but marvel in his heart. The Breath Concealing Technique not only could conceal the aura, but it could also project momentum to a level far beyond one’s true strength. Involuntarily, Bai Ziyue began to perform the Breath Concealing Technique. In the blink of an eye, his aura fully receded, tightly locked within his physical body. At this moment, he stood there, and even if someone was nearby, they wouldn’t be able to sense any trace of his aura, completely like a lifeless object, silent and still. Immediately afterward, Bai Ziyue began to change the way he executed it. Bit by bit, his momentum started to grow stronger, standing there like a towering mountain, magnificent and vigorous, with an aura that surged and surged. The momentum was far beyond that of an ordinary Inner Power Realm Martial Artist, even surpassing a Third-class Expert. To outsiders, he seemed more like a fully unleashed Second-class Expert. "Using this technique for intimidation could indeed be an effective way to deal with enemies. However, if it didn’t frighten the enemy, he’d have to rely on his own luck." Bai Ziyue smiled slightly, not caring too much in his heart. If he truly encountered a Second-class Expert, with his current strength, he would naturally choose to flee. But if he came across a Third-class Expert, it would be quite amusing. His strength was sufficient, and he wasn’t afraid anyway. If he could intimidate the opponent with such momentum, it would also be quite interesting to him. ... Bai Ziyue initially thought that his breakthrough this time would take a few days, but unexpectedly, he broke through his realm and stabilized it in just one night. Therefore, he got up the next day and went out. Familiar with the route, Bai Ziyue arrived at the Sunburst Gang. Without pausing at the entrance, he directly entered the Internal Affairs Hall. This time, he was naturally there to exchange for an Inner Power Heart Method. But before exchanging the Cultivation Technique, he first dealt with the previous Nine Seals Sect information affair and also planned to inquire about the current situation. To his surprise, it wasn’t Steward Du from last time who received him, but a rather young disciple from the Internal Affairs Hall. Originally, he was thinking about confronting him regarding the information records... "Steward Xuu usually comes early in the morning, but today, for some reason, he didn’t appear in the hall. As for this upheaval, it seems that only you and Steward Huang from the Law Enforcement Hall returned alive, everyone else perished completely." That steward said, stamping Bai Ziyue’s Contribution Record Book, changing the contribution value from 1000 to 1100 points. Meaning, Bai Ziyue’s previous intelligence, plus his own participation, was only worth one hundred points of contribution. Regarding this, Bai Ziyue had his own calculations, but another matter puzzled him, so he couldn’t help but ask, "What about the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden? All dead? Wasn’t there someone else who returned alive?" "We sent people to verify yesterday at the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, but no one had returned. Even if it was you, if you hadn’t come to the Internal Affairs Hall today, we wouldn’t know if you were alive or dead. Of course, there was indeed one body that wasn’t found, so perhaps someone really is still alive, who knows." The Internal Affairs Hall disciple explained calmly. Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyue was somewhat perplexed in his heart, *Could it be that Zhou Wei didn’t return to the Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden as he claimed?* While murmuring inwardly, Bai Ziyue didn’t linger in the Internal Affairs Hall but quickly arrived at a completely enclosed attic. This place was the Library Pavilion of the Sunburst Gang. With sentries every five steps and a patrol every ten steps, the security was extremely tight. Bai Ziyue, with his Identity Token, smoothly passed through and entered the Library Pavilion. The first floor mostly contained miscellaneous books, such as insights from expert seniors on their Martial Arts training, detailed explanations of certain Martial Arts, and guidance for the development of various cultivation techniques... These items had great benefits for a Martial Artist’s cultivation and were widely collected in the Library Pavilion. Thus, many Martial Artists within the gang would come to watch, hoping to gain something useful. The second floor was where Martial Arts, External Forging and Internal Cultivation Techniques, and Inner Power Heart Methods could be exchanged. Bai Ziyue directly stepped onto the second floor. An elderly man wearing a red robe, with a ruddy complexion, was sitting at one side of the entrance, dozing in a state between wakefulness and sleep. However, Bai Ziyue dared not show any disrespect, as this man was also a senior within the gang, one of the founders of the Sunburst Gang, who fought alongside the Gang Leader in its inception. Due to injuries, he took a leisure position in the Scripture Pavilion. His pair of eyes, though, were incredibly sharp; disciples rarely hid their strength in front of him. *This was why Bai Ziyue needed to raise the Breath Concealing Technique to Perfection previously.* "Elder Gao, this junior, Bai Ziyue, wishes to select an Inner Power Heart Method for exchange." Bai Ziyue slightly bowed and handed over the Contribution Record Book. "Just started with Inner Cultivation, and already thinking to cultivate an Inner Power Heart Method?" Elder Gao looked at Bai Ziyue, his gaze was sharp, but he soon carelessly waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and choose one yourself, then pay an additional ten taels of silver as the transcription fee." "There are many cultivation techniques; I ask Elder Gao for guidance." As Bai Ziyue spoke, he handed over a silver note. Representing a hundred taels of silver. Without showing any emotion, Elder Gao accepted the silver note, seemingly recovering some spirit, he said, "For a Martial Artist to cultivate Inner Strength, one must first break through the Dantian barrier to develop Inner Strength. Only with Inner Strength can one cultivate an Inner Power Heart Method. Generally speaking, Inner Power Heart Methods are quite similar, all aimed at breaking through the Twelve Main Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians. However, the attributes of Inner Strength cultivated by some Inner Power Heart Methods vary; some are fierce like fire, some are cold like ice, and others are stable and orderly. These distinctions lend differences to the methods. If you wish to quickly advance your Martial Arts Realm, I recommend choosing Blood Refining True Skill or Sanhe Qi Technique. If seeking more powerful and aggressive attack attributes, opt for Fiery Flame Technique or Cold Jade Technique. Of course, the strongest in the Scripture Pavilion are Sunburst Technique, Nine Yang Technique, and Purple Mansion Creation Technique. These three methods have their strengths and weaknesses. Although Sunburst Technique’s cultivation speed doesn’t surpass Blood Refining True Skill, it’s not slow and offers stronger attack power compared to Fiery Flame Technique; in fact, our gang was named after this cultivation technique. But because this method erupts like fire, it often damages the practitioner’s body before harming others, so relatively few within the gang now practice it. As for Nine Yang Technique, its power is extraordinary, though it requires cultivators to maintain their virgin state to preserve its potent power. Once broken, even if cultivated to a first-class expert, the strength will significantly decline, hence its few practitioners in the gang. This Purple Mansion Creation Technique, on the other hand, cultivates Inner Strength that bears no attribute, making it most impartial and balanced, yet its power is notably strong. However, one thing discourages people. That is the exceedingly slow cultivation speed of this method. While others might accumulate Inner Strength to Perfection in three to five years, breaking through the Twelve Main Meridians and entering the ranks of third-class experts, cultivating this method might take ten years or more. Thus, although this method is among the top techniques in the gang, those cultivating it are fewer than those practicing Nine Yang Technique; currently, only two people, as far as I know, are cultivating it." With these words, Elder Gao looked at Bai Ziyue and said with a smile, "As for how to choose, it’s up to your own preferences. By the way, if you want to select those three methods, remember to look under the red box in the farthest corner." "Thank Elder Gao for the guidance!" Bai Ziyue sincerely thanked him, knowing that his expenditure was worthwhile. Though spending one hundred taels of silver was somewhat painful, he received valuable information about the cultivation techniques and learned the specific location of those three top Inner Power Heart Methods. This was a worthwhile investment for him. Otherwise, what he might find would only be less powerful techniques, which would greatly impact his future. *The intricacies in this were naturally told to him by others; upon reflection, it truly wasn’t a poor deal.* Without hesitation, Bai Ziyue approached the bookshelves. Various Martial Arts Secret Manuals were arranged one by one. Cyan Cloud Sword Technique, Traceless Saber Technique, Invincible Warhammer, Three Peach Blossom Swordsmanship... Not lingering among these Martial Arts-related secret manuals, he quickly arrived at the cultivation technique area. Instantly, a multitude of cultivation technique secret manuals came into his view. Not only were there External Forging and Internal Refining Methods, like Vajra Lock Jade Technique, Vajra Glazed Body, Golden Cicada Technique, Cyan Jade Technique, Stone Body Cultivation Technique, but even Fifth Rank Golden Body was recorded. The volume and richness far surpassed the collection in the Qinghe Town branch. *Marveling inwardly, Bai Ziyue quickly found the true Inner Power Heart Method area.* Fiery Flame Technique, Cold Jade Technique, Sanhe Qi Technique, Blood Refining True Skill, Purple Mist Skill, Nine-Turns Heart Technique... The abundance astonished him and made him feel somewhat overwhelmed. *He couldn’t help but feel admiration; the Sunburst Gang truly deserved to be the largest gang in Wujiang County with such profound accumulation.* However, among these numerous cultivation techniques, Sunburst Technique, Nine Yang Technique, and Purple Mansion Creation Technique, which were said to be the strongest Inner Power Heart Methods within the gang, were absent.
