Chapter 373

Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth as he continued using Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing . After starting to cultivate under those extremely exhausting conditions, Yan Liqiang had only reached the seventh stance of the Three Forces Qi Channeling technique when that familiar surge of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth gushed out like an unrestrained flood . It surged into Yan Liqiang’s body from the Baihui Acupoint at the crown of his head and started to seethe . While cleansing Yan Liqiang’s bone marrow and organs, it also brought about new energy, replenishing all the depletion Yan Liqiang had gone through from the intense morning training .

Yan Liqiang had been through this process many times and it was all very familiar to him . Therefore, he was not too surprised . He calmly continued the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing process like an activated machine .

The body parts that went through the greatest amount of exhaustion from the blindfolded contest with Ji Xiaoyao were his legs, followed by his arms . His legs were first because he had kept on running and dodging while his arms were tired from incessantly pulling the bow and shooting arrows . Due to these circumstances, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that rushed into Yan Liqiang’s body kept on nourishing and strengthening Yan Liqiang from his feet to his legs, like water filling everything up to the brim . It continued to climb upward, and after staying for a brief moment on Yan Liqiang’s shoulders and back, that energy eventually split into two, flowing through Yan Liqiang’s meridian channels, blood vessels, muscles, bones, and into his arms before reaching out to his fingertips . Within a short while, Yan Liqiang’s arms felt extremely comfortable as if they had been soaked in a hot spring…

This morning, Yan Liqiang’s upper and lower limbs had been exhausted . Therefore, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, as well as the energies that entered his body, were concentrated in these two areas . However, the burnout his body faced this morning was nothing compared to the usual intense exhaustion he put himself through .

In just a short period of time, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that gushed into his arms had reached optimal condition .

Yan Liqiang, who was still carrying on with the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing, did not give it much thought . Based on his experience, his body would continue to be in this state for quite a long period of time . The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would slowly replenish his exhaustion . The greater his depletion, the greater the replenishment . In the end, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would become a part of his body’s energy, allowing his upper and lower limbs to improve tremendously in terms of strength and nimbleness .

However, today’s situation was a little out of Yan Liqiang’s expectations .

After his arms were filled up with Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the amount of Spiritual Qi and energy that poured into his body did not decrease . After it filled everything up to his throat, the energy suddenly condensed into strong currents and charged into Yan Liqiang’s consciousness .

This situation gave Yan Liqiang a huge start . With a tremble, he almost cut off the cultivation of his Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing .

Ever since he started cultivating, Yan Liqiang had not encountered something like this before . Prior to this, when the Spiritual Qi came extremely close to Yan Liqiang’s head, it would be to strengthen his vision . However, when it was strengthening his vision, it would pass through his Bladder Meridian, Stomach Meridian, Gall Bladder Meridian, and the Triple Burner Meridian . The energy did not flow in a chaotic manner . However, right now it was following an unknown pathway, heading toward the mysterious brain region .

The brain was the most important and most sensitive part of the human body . It was also the most fragile organ and could not withstand any damage at all . There were all sorts of mysterious martial arts techniques out there, none of which could cultivate the brain . After sensing the energy and Spiritual Qi entering his brain area, Yan Liqiang’s heart throbbed frantically . For a moment, he wanted to stop the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing in case the energy and Spiritual Qi would run amok in his brain and cause damage . If he ended up as an idiot or if his intellect took a blow, it would be really bad .

However, this thought just flashed in Yan Liqiang’s mind . In the next moment, the feeling from his consciousness was so comfortable that he almost moaned .

Just as Yan Liqiang was feeling worried that the Spiritual Qi would run amok, it instead was like a stream of water scattered across a stretch of desert and an extremely huge dry sponge . In the blink of an eye, it was completely absorbed by the mysterious area in Yan Liqiang’s brain, leaving not even a single bit behind .

The seething energy and Spiritual Qi absorbed by that mysterious area seemed to have turned into nerve impulses, transmitted throughout Yan Liqiang’s body . The double portion of joy was simply indescribable, and it was even stronger than the exhilaration one would feel when having sex . In that instant, Yan Liqiang felt as if his body and spirit had gone to the clouds . Damn, it was like he had become immortal .

Absorbing that energy and Spiritual Qi made Yan Liqiang feel as if that mysterious part of his brain had become excited . It was like a black hole, opening up its mouth and crazily engulfing, absorbing, and digesting the energy and Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth . It became the most anticipated and delicious food to that mysterious area in Yan Liqiang’s brain .

This was like the feeling of rain after a long period of drought .

The feeling of exhilaration cut off Yan Liqiang’s thoughts . He had a faint feeling that the mysterious area in his head was like a cenutry-old, dried up well in the desert that had been waiting for this day when water would be poured in .

Yan Liqiang continued to cultivate his Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing . Under that comfortable and exhilarating condition, he seemed to have entered an unconscious state, and everything was just circulating based on his body’s instincts .

…

It was unknown as to how long had passed before Yan Liqiang opened his eyes . He realized that he was laying on the floor . He blinked, and then jumped up .

“Grumble… grumble…”

A thunderous sound rang out from his stomach, reminding him that his body was in an extremely starved condition . Yan Liqiang looked at the sky outside the window . The sky was turning dim and the setting sun caused the sky in the west to be dyed in a bright red color .

Ah, to think that he had cultivated for an entire afternoon without realizing .

Yan Liqiang was a little surprised . He checked his body and did not discover any abnormalities . Not only so, but Yan Liqiang realized that his vision seemed to have changed just a little bit . Things became clearer and more vivid . An ordinary table in the room now even felt strangely cute…

It was as if his five senses had become sharper…

Yan Liqiang quickly checked his consciousness and his brain, only to discover that a small golden vortex was spinning incessantly in his consciousness without him knowing…
