That night, with bruises all over his body, Wen Bao happily left the Misty Peak Martial Arts Practice Field.
Wang Lu's general method was indeed effective. That inhumane beating was undoubtedly effective.
The fatty was a timid fatty, but he was also a spoiled fatty who was extremely afraid of pain. His instinctive fear of pain caused him to rarely experience pain for many years. The relatively mild cultivation of the Spirit Sword Sect in the past two years had imperceptibly indulged him. However, Wang Lu was indeed a famous teacher. In just one afternoon, he had made up for Wen Bao's two years of shortcomings. All kinds of open and hidden injuries piled on top of each other. Wen Bao's whole body almost didn't have a single piece of good flesh.
In the continuous pain and torture, Wen Bao's anger was also rapidly accumulating. This anger came from an instinct deep in his character. His fear of pain made him instinctively resentful toward anyone who caused him pain, even if the other party was his incomparably respectful Senior Brother Wang Lu.
Behind this cowardly good-for-nothing, there was actually a powerful explosive force. His results in the Cloud Wave Map were not obtained by luck. Perhaps this was also an important reason why the Lingjian School accepted him as a disciple … Unfortunately, the Misty Peak's two years of training disciples didn't really realize this. Fortunately, Wang Lu's eyes were sharp and he saw the problem.
In one afternoon, under Wang Lu's beating, Wen Bao had used the perfect Black Iron Sword at least twenty times. Among them, there was one time where he broke through Wang Lu's Soft Cloud Sword with three consecutive sword strikes, and the last sword strike directly hit Wang Lu's chest.
Wang Lu's complexion immediately changed. He felt as if he had eaten the Misty Peak's Look Up at the Starry Sky. His pain index instantly went through the roof! It could be said that he was better off dead than alive! At that moment, he regretted that he didn't use Winding Steps to avoid the attack. Instead, he forced himself to try the fatty's iron sword...
However, the harvest of this sword strike was also extraordinary. All the main bones in his body were loosened by the Black Iron Sword, and the efficacy of the Bone Strengthening Pill in his body was able to further permeate and volatilize. Especially between his chest and ribs, the efficacy went straight to his bone marrow … After an afternoon, most of the bones in Wang Lu's body felt cool and refreshing. His cultivation of the Non-Phase Sword Bone's eighth layer had greatly improved!
According to Master's words, the first seven layers of the Sword Bone would not have too obvious of an effect, but this insignificant effect was enough for him to withstand the roar of the Full Moon Roar and face the fatty's black iron sword head-on. If he succeeded in the eighth layer, it was hard to imagine how strong his bones would be!
Tsk, is this the "hardness" that Wang Wu is so proud of? It was indeed extraordinarily hard. If one did not consider the fact that Non-Phase Sword Bone had almost no effect on other attributes, this Cultivation Method was simply a dream Cultivation Method. But now, it was really a pain in the ass.
However, with his Void Spirit Root, he was not qualified to be picky … Although the eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone was worth looking forward to, the real challenge was also in the eighth layer. According to the note left by his Master, the day he succeeded in the eighth layer would be the day he drew the spiritual energy into his body.
At that time, whether his Non-Phase Method's compatibility would be unparalleled, or his Void Spirit Root would be noble and elegant to death, haha, it would be up to the Heaven to decide!
However, as the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes." Before the final moment, the preparation work could not be less. That night, Wang Lu carefully read the note left by his Master twice, and then determined the next step of Immortal Cultivation — Endoscope, oh, wrong, Internal Vision Method.
The so-called Internal Vision Method, as the name implies, was a skill to observe the internal structure of the body. It was also an indispensable part of the Immortal Cultivation. The usual practice of the Lingjian School was to let the disciples, during the Qi Cultivating Stage, continuously draw the spiritual energy into their body, and then gradually master the Internal Vision Method until they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. At that time, the Internal Vision Method would also be pushed along with the current to reach the Large Success Stage, laying the foundation for the next step of building the Jade Mansion.
However, according to Wang Wu, if Wang Lu wanted to cultivate smoothly, it would be best for him to practice the Internal Inspection Method in advance, so that he could master the first stage of the Qi Cultivating Stage with the skill of subtlety, drawing the qi into his body.
As for the cultivation of the Internal Vision Method, it was not difficult. As long as there was a teacher to guide him, a talented person could master the initial stage within a week.
Wang Lu's talent was naturally not a problem, whether it was in martial arts or Immortal Cultivation. Unfortunately, he lacked a teacher to guide him. His Master, Wang Wu, had gone out to sell medicine, and he didn't know when she would be expelled by the relevant department. When she returned to the Spirit Sword Mountain, he couldn't count on her.
Fortunately, learning the Internal Vision Method did not necessarily require the help of an Immortal Cultivator. Many brilliant martial artists in the mortal world were also experts in this field. Rumor has it that the highest stage of Immortal Cultivation, Seeing Deity Invulnerability, was achieved by using the Internal Vision Method to the extreme. And Wang Lu happened to know that he had such an expert by his side.
The next morning, Wang Lu knocked on the door of the Ru Family Inn in the Spirit Creek Town. "Lady Boss, lend me your Endoscope."
"What!?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I mean teach me the Internal Vision Method."
The Lady Boss rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Are you sick?"
"You can be saved?"
"Damn, what the hell is going on? You can't even let me have a good sleep! You don't plan to seriously walk on the road of martial arts, so why are you in such a hurry to learn the Internal Vision Method? "
Wang Lu shrugged. "I can't disobey my master's orders."
Only then did the Lady Boss become a little more serious. "Did Wang Wu say that? Alright, let's practice then. I also want to see how you, with your Void Spirit Root, can cultivate the Immortal Path. "
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. It's not that difficult."
In reality, it was indeed not difficult. All the Lady Boss did was hold Wang Lu's hand and send pure inner Qi into his body, circulating it around his body and stimulating his inner Qi. At the same time, she guided Wang Lu's breathing, causing him to fall into a deep meditative state, isolating his five senses and focusing all his attention on the minute changes in his body.
Even an ordinary person without any cultivation would be able to sense the changes in his body, such as his internal organs, bones, and muscles. However, that feeling was like a blind man touching an elephant, unable to see the whole picture. With the deepening of cultivation, a person's perception would become more and more acute, until the last layer of window paper was pierced. In the long night, the light was ignited, and one could clearly see oneself.
For Wang Lu, who had been in the medicinal bath for two years and had a small success in Non-Phase Sword Bone, the only thing he lacked was that last step. Although many people were limited by their perception and would be stuck at this stage for a long time, Wang Lu certainly would not disappoint. When the Lady Boss's inner Qi completed the first major circulation, he saw the light in the dark night.
The Lady Boss, who was holding Wang Lu's hand, felt his breath stagnate for a moment. She couldn't help but smile. "What do you see?"
"Roads." Wang Lu's eyes were closed and he slightly frowned. "Many roads."
"Oh, where do they lead?"
"I can't see. Each road leads to a distant place that is hard to reach, and at the end of the road, it's still night."
"That's not strange. After all, you have just learned the Inner Vision Method. Before you formally cultivate your primordial spirit, your vision won't be too far. But, can you move your vision? "
"Yes … I'm trying to move forward along one of the roads. There are many forks in the road, and this road seems to form a loop back to the starting point."
The Lady Boss smiled. "Because those roads are the meridians in your body. You have been in the medicinal bath for two years. Although you haven't cultivated your inner Qi, the meridians in your body have already been cleared, so you can see a smooth road. Otherwise, you would have been blocked halfway. "
"So that's how it is …" Wang Lu nodded and opened his eyes. He looked a little tired.
The Lady Boss said, "The first time you use the Inner Vision Method, don't last too long. If you feel tired, then rest. This is the consumption of your primordial spirit. No matter how strong your physical strength is, you can't make up for it."
"I understand. It's inevitable that the first time is short. It's not shameful."
"… If you say it like that, then it's shameful!"
Then the Lady Boss kicked Wang Lu out of the door.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, one month had passed.
During this month, Wang Lu and the fatty had been practicing their sword in the training field every day. The fatty's Black Iron Sword was getting sharper and sharper. Although his moves were still as bad as dog shit, as he became more adept at using his anger, his lethality increased day by day. Wang Lu's Soft Cloud Sword had gradually been unable to keep up with the rhythm. It was difficult for him to easily divert the opponent's tremendous force and play with the fatty.
However, on the other hand, his Non-Phase Sword Bone cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds. Although he had not yet reached the eighth layer, the hardness of his body was still rapidly growing. There was one time when Wang Lu was in a bad mood. The Black Iron Sword struck him three times in a row, knocking the Soft Cloud Sword out of Wang Lu's hand. Thereupon, Wang Lu simply raised his arm and used his flesh and blood to block the fatty's heavy sword! Again, three times in a row! Finally, he took the opportunity to slap the fatty's face, which nearly scared the fatty out of his wits.
The price of that shocking performance was that the bones in Wang Lu's arms were completely shattered. It took him a full three days to recover. However, because the bones were shattered, the bone-strengthening pill penetrated deeper than ever before. After the recovery, not only did the hardness of the bones in his two arms went up a notch, but he also got an unexpected harvest...
Wang Lu's Internal Inspection Method had also been upgraded.
Perhaps the disintegration of the Non-Phase Sword Bone was too much of a stimulus for the body. During the time when the bones were healing, when Wang Lu was meditating, he clearly saw that on the side of the meridian road, there were hundreds of hazy jade pillars that seemed to be able to support the sky and the earth, piercing the darkness. Among them, there were several jade pillars that faintly emitted a golden light, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
When he asked the Lady Boss, the explanation he got was that his Internal Inspection Method had been upgraded. Now, not only could he see the meridian, he could also see the bones. If he continued to practice, he could also see the stars in the sky, which were the acupoints all over the body. At the same time, he might also see the surging rivers, the towering mountains, which were the qi, blood, and muscles...
Then, when everything inside his body was reflected in his eyes, his Internal Inspection Method was also successfully completed.
Naturally, Wang Lu was still far from reaching the consummate level of Internal Inspection Method. However, this time's advancement still brought him great benefits. Because he could observe the Non-Phase Sword Bone from a clearer perspective, it meant that he could do more targeted training. As long as the bones that flashed with golden light appeared in his Internal Inspection Method, it meant that he had already met the requirements of the current stage and could no longer pay attention to it. When all of the more than two hundred bones in his body flashed with golden light, it was the time when the eighth layer was about to be successfully completed.
On the other hand, with his Internal Inspection Method becoming more and more clear, Wang Lu could also, with the help of the Lady Boss, regulate his qi and blood with his breathing, and use his qi and blood to transfer the efficacy of the medicine, which allowed him to focus on some remote bones that were difficult to take care of.
In this way, both Wang Lu and the fatty grew rapidly between pain and happiness. In Wang Lu's words, this was probably a threesome.
After a month, Wang Lu's eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone was finally close to the consummate level. The toughness of his body had increased several times, and he was already close to the Foundation Building stage, where his magical power could run through the inside and outside of his body! And the dead fatty was also contentedly practicing the first six layers of the Black Iron Sword Technique to the extreme. Compared to the useless dead fatty from a month ago, he was now more than twice as strong.
However, this kind of rapid progress was based on the solid foundation that Wen Bao had built in the past two years. Following this, he had to take it step by step. On one hand, he had to continue to draw spiritual energy into his body, accumulating spiritual energy inside his body. On the other hand, he had to continue to study the Black Iron Sword Technique, cultivating the fourth layer of the sword technique … and these two things were not something that could be accomplished in a day. On the other hand, Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Bone had also reached the final bottleneck. He needed a period of accumulation before he could break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
However, Wen Bao was still not satisfied. He asked expectantly, "Senior Brother Wang Lu, what should we do next!?"
Wang Lu wrinkled his brows and seriously thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"That's right, we should go for experiential learning."
