Chapter 31: Severing Gold and Jade

is makes Xiao Heshan's arms increasingly numb, and his heart sinks deeper and deeper.Xiao He Shan has already exerted 70% of his strength, but the force coming from Zhang Li Yang still puts some strai...Snow Forest Garden!

A luxurious estate located in the center of Feilong City, formerly a rest and play resort for the Cil Lai tribe's chief, is now Mu Yinghua's temporary residence.

In this luxurious estate, besides Mu Yinghua and Zhang Liyang, there were also many servants and maids. However, after Mu Yinghua moved in, the largest and most luxurious courtyard was accessible only to her and Zhang Liyang. Everyone else had to report before entering.

To protect Mu Yinghua's safety, Xiao He Shan left three hundred men stationed at the manor when he returned to report. Leading them was the Yuan-surname centurion from before.

"Yuan Xiaowei, I entrust the safety of this manor to you."

"Rest assured, sir. Leave it to us. We guarantee that we will be able to distinguish between male and female flies if even one flies in."

Mu Yinghua lived in the best and most luxurious place, naturally. Zhang Liyang wasn't bad either, living in the courtyard next to Mu Yinghua, and even Zhang Liyang was assigned several maids to serve him with his daily life.

Zhang Liyang, who had never experienced being waited on, was initially a little uncomfortable. However, after enjoying it for a while, Zhang Liyang quickly accepted it.

"It's easy to indulge in extravagance, but difficult to embrace simplicity!" Wu Bing sighed dramatically, then pulled a token from his pocket and scratched his head with a troubled expression.

Yue Changping left Feilong City yesterday. Before he left, Yue Changping gave Zhang Liyang a set of clothing and tokens unique to the Black Prison Mansion, as well as a silver note worth 100,000 taels.

"This is what our ancestors meant. During your time in Flying Dragon City, establish a foothold for the Black Prison Mansion. You can choose the people yourself. Our ancestor only cares about the results, not the process."

"Seize the opportunity!"

The last sentence Yue Changping said was very clear, Zhang Liyang himself understood it, but to establish a stronghold of the Black Prison Mansion in the baseless Flying Dragon City, this would be quite difficult for Zhang Liyang.

"Sigh, let's take it slow. After all, the salary has already been eaten."

As soon as Zhang Liyang thought of his salary, he naturally thought of the last system reward.

Now that Yue Changping has left, Mu Yinghua has finished reciting the imperial grace here, and she doesn't have anything else to do. So Zhang Liyang will have a lot of free time in the coming days.

"Let's raise his cultivation level first and then talk!"

After greeting Mu Yinghua, Zhang Liyang rushed back to his courtyard. After closing the door, he took out the Wan Shou Liu Jin Dan.

It was still that refreshing fragrance, and after inhaling it, qi and blood began to surge. Zhang Liyang didn't say a word and directly swallowed it in one gulp!

Feeling a surge of immense power within him, Zhang Liyang's eyes lit up instantly. "As expected of a system product, it must be top-notch!"

Comparable to the last time's Wan Shou Liu Jin Dan, energy twice as powerful surged within Zhang Liyang's body. This time, however, Zhang Liyang didn't experience the same distress as before.

Under his current cultivation level, Zhang Liyang could easily digest all this energy!

Inhale, exhale~.

As energy is continuously absorbed, Zhang Liyang's inhalations and exhalations become increasingly spaced out, and the force of his breathing gradually strengthens.

Within the body, it was like a furnace. With Zhang Liyang's every breath, a large amount of air seemed to be forcefully poured in, causing the flames within the furnace to burn fiercely!

Boom, boom, boom~.

The fierce flames sent Zhang Liyang's heart racing, beating like a war drum in the room.

whoosh!

Under the sound of war drums, the sound of the flowing river also rose together, that was Zhang Liyang's blood surging within his flesh.

Glug, glug~

Under full firepower, Zhang Liyang's stomach was also churning, like a highly efficient energy absorption machine, absorbing the medicinal power of the Wan Shou Liu Jin Dan scattered into his body.

Under the potent power of the medicine and its efficient absorption, wind began to stir within Zhang Liyang's room.

Between breaths, there were faint flickers of white light, and with each flash of white light, the wind that swept through the room grew stronger.

Then, the entire room was filled with a whirlwind of books and paintings, swirling around Zhang Liyang in its center like a tornado.

Besides these, as Zhang Liyang's cultivation continued to improve, a faint white glow began to appear on his exposed skin, covering his entire body like metal!

Such a vision lasted for four whole days, until Zhang Liyang’s mouth and nose were clearly filled with white light. With a loud bang, the tornado shattered, sending books and paintings flying throughout the room.

He slowly opened his eyes, and just then a brush fell from Zhang Liyang's sight. Afterwards, Zhang Liyang extended a finger, on which there was a faint white glow flashing.

Yikes!

With a light sound, the brush literally broke in half. The break was smooth as glass, like it had been cut by a sharp blade!

"Sever the gold, break the jade!" Looking at the broken brush, Zhang Liyang's mouth curled into a smile. "I didn't expect this Jin Di's divine ability to be exactly the same as the name of that martial arts book."

The Golden Emperor's Minor Divine Ability, to cleave gold and shatter jade!

It has the same name and effect as the martial arts technique "Severing Gold and Jade" that Zhang Liyang learned, but while "Severing Gold and Jade" only targets the palm, this lesser divine ability targets the entire body.

Incarnation of flesh and blade, slash through all!

Although the effects of divine powers are the same as those of martial arts, it doesn't mean that this "Severing Gold and Breaking Jade" technique is obsolete. On the contrary, when two effects are identical, they produce a result greater than the sum of their parts.

Still extending his palm, Zhang Liyang went directly to a rockery in the courtyard. He activated the Qijin Duan Yu technique, slicing his palm horizontally toward the solid rockery!

I'm so excited!

Without almost any resistance, a smooth piece of rock from the artificial mountain broke off and fell into the pond.

Looking at his unharmed hand, Zhang Liyang had a satisfied expression on his face.

He then returned to the room and, while there was still some effect from the medicine, Zhang Liyang began another round of gradual...

Golden water, water belongs to the kidney, kidney qi nourishes bones!

Five Emperors' Rotating Fortune, Black Emperor!

Currently, Zhang Liyang has completed the construction of Fire Emperor, Yellow Emperor, and Golden Emperor. This involves strengthening the heart, spleen, stomach, lungs, blood vessels, muscles, and outer skin.

Actually, at this stage, Zhang Liyang's physical body, even if he didn't actively cultivate, would naturally circulate and strengthen itself according to the principle of the five elements generating each other.

If you actively progress gradually, the speed will be faster. This is one of the wonders of the Five Emperors' Rotating Sutra. As you progress later in your cultivation, the speed will increase even more, and the simultaneous gains are not limited to one aspect but encompass all-round improvement!

Whew!

With a deep breath, he pushed the table in front of him back a whole foot. Only then did Zhang Liyang officially leave the customs and step out of his courtyard.

"Hm Does Your Highness have guests today"of information flooded his mind.Here, Zhang Liyang was still in the room slowly receiving the system's rewards, but both inside and outside Flying Dragon City had become somewhat astonished."Was Daito...
