Hong long!
Just when Wang Chong thought that this was the end of the transformation, there was a sudden jolt. A majestic and heavy energy reminiscent of golden fluid gushed into Wang Chong's chest from the void and into every single one of his lungs.
For an instant, Wang Chong felt as though he was suffocating. That intense energy was scalding, viscous, and scorching. It filled every single one of his lungs and cells, leaving Wang Chong unable to breathe at all.
The heavy weight increased the pressure on his lungs and upper body significantly, such that he felt as though he was going to collapse.
Weng!
Just when Wang Chong felt that he was on the verge of collapsing, the heavy and scorching golden fluid suddenly shot out, revealing an opening.
As though a drowning man, Wang Chong struggled to rise to the surface.
Sss!
In the study, Wang Chong took in a deep breath. Even the maids and servants shuttling to and fro outside the room could hear him clearly.
"Ah! How unbearable! As expected, it isn't that easy to obtain powerful energy! "
Wang Chong thought as his body heaved up and down violently.
The five viscera and six bowels were the softest and weakest existences in the human body, and it was also an area that was extremely difficult to cultivate.
Even the strongest experts could only strengthen their five viscera and six bowels slightly due to the existence of Origin Energy. As for cultivation techniques that focused on strengthening the five viscera and six bowels, there was no such thing.
This was also the first time Wang Chong had encountered such a thing.
In terms of strengthening one's physical body, the 'Golden Organs' was definitely one of the best physical body strengthening techniques out there, even surpassing the Dragon Bone Art.
Back then, when Wang Chong first saw this reward in the Stone of Destiny, he couldn't help but feel delighted, and he was tempted to exchange for it.
But back then, due to the restraints of the world energy, Wang Chong dared not exchange for it at all. It was only when Zhang Munian's Elementary Superior Rice appeared that his wish was fulfilled.
"Buzz!"
His body was warm. As he breathed heavily, Wang Chong could clearly feel the golden liquid from the hundreds of large and small alveoli in his chest seeping into his heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and other internal organs.
The boiling energy flowed into every cell, and finally, it slowly merged with the cells in these places.
An experience he had never experienced before surged into his heart. Wang Chong felt that his body was as light as a feather, and it was getting lighter.
Not only that, but as the energy of the Golden Juice Organs continued to fuse with his body, Yang Ji also had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was soaking in water.
This feeling wasn't obvious at first, but it grew stronger and stronger as time went on. It was as if he wasn't surrounded by air, but a viscous liquid.
"So this is the Golden Viscera …"
Wang Chong slowly sensed the changes in his body and finally understood why the golden organs could change the affinity between a martial artist and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
In the past, although Wang Chong could feel the existence of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, it was only a feeling, and it was subjective.
But now it was different. Wang Chong felt that he could even touch it with his palm, as if he was touching something real.
Not only that, Wang Chong could even feel the flow of energy in the air. However, the range of this perception was not large, only about five or six zhang.
But this was already very powerful.
Even a True Martial Realm or Profound Martial Realm martial artist might not be able to do this.
"This is really inconceivable. The Stone of Destiny's ability is completely different from the world of martial arts. Many of its abilities can't be estimated with common sense."
Wang Chong shook his head and praised in his heart.
He stretched out a finger, and a stream of energy that was hard to see with the naked eye flowed through the air. It was easily wrapped around by Wang Chong's fingertip, and then absorbed into his body.
Although the amount of energy absorbed was not a lot, this kind of purposeful and targeted absorption of Yuan Qi was much more efficient than normal.
If he wanted to, Wang Chong could absorb all the Yuan Qi within five or six zhang in an instant.
In an intense battle where both sides' Yuan Qi was exhausted, this kind of ability would be decisive.
"Buzz!"
Standing alone in the study, he closed his eyes and spread his legs apart, motionless. Once the energy of the 'Gold Organs' in his chest had completely dispersed into his five viscera, everything calmed down. Only then did Wang Chong slowly open his eyes.
The energy in his body had completely calmed down. Compared to before, Wang Chong could feel that his five viscera and six bowels were stronger, more resilient, and could withstand greater impacts.
Compared to a martial artist of the same level, his five viscera and six bowels were at least seven or eight times stronger.
"Eh? Strange, it seems like my body's strength has increased by quite a bit."
Wang Chong's eyes lit up. He suddenly moved his arms, feeling that his strength had increased by quite a bit. He was secretly pleasantly surprised.
The 'Gold Organs' only targeted the internal organs of a martial artist. Not only could it strengthen the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, it could also increase one's strength. This was an unexpected gain.
"But if this is the case, coupled with the True Martial Little Dipper, it will be much easier for me to reach the True Martial realm in the future. My strength will also be much stronger."
Wang Chong closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
'A hundred feet tall building is built from the earth'. The foundation of a building was often determined from the very beginning. If the foundation was unstable, it would be useless no matter how hard one tried to reinforce it.
With a lifetime's worth of martial arts experience, Wang Chong couldn't be clearer on this point.
"It's about time. That person should be here by now."
After meditating for another hour in the room and stabilizing his cultivation, Wang Chong glanced at the hourglass on the table before walking out of the study.
"How is it? Has Lord Zhang arrived?"
Wang Chong looked at the Wang Clan guard outside the study and asked.
"Reporting to gongzi, Governor Zhang has just arrived, and he's already waiting in the lounge. The servants have already prepared top-notch tea and pastries. Knowing that gongzi is cultivating in the study, Madam is already there to receive you. She said that gongzi will meet the governor immediately after you are done cultivating. "
The guard outside bowed respectfully. Clearly, he was sent by Wang Chong's mother, and he had been waiting here for quite some time now.
"Un, I understand. You may leave now. "
Wang Chong nodded. Flinging his sleeves, he headed straight for the study.
Jiannan Governor Zhang Wentuo was an influential figure. Even though his standing couldn't compare to Zhangchou Jianqiong, the Protector-General of the empire, in Wang Chong's heart, he was definitely one of the most important figures in this life.
Back at the banquet, due to Zhangchou Jianqiong's invitation and the fact that he was ambushed by the Goguryeons, Wang Chong didn't find it appropriate to talk to him. It was just that Zhang Xuan remembered the other party's face and made an appointment with the Jiannan Prefect two days ago.
The time was set by Wang Chong, and since this was their first meeting, Wang Chong didn't want to leave a good impression on the Jiannan Governor. Thus, he chose the time carefully.
Passing through many gardens, ponds, and corridors, Wang Chong finally met Zhang Wentuo in the lounge of the Wang Clan.
There was a faint fragrance of tea in the room.
When Wang Chong walked in, his mother was chatting with the Jiannan Governor, who had come to the capital to report on his work. Upon seeing Wang Chong enter, Madam Wang immediately stood up from her seat.
"Chong-er, it's rare for Lord Governor to visit our Wang Clan as a guest.
Madam Wang seemed to have a good impression of the Governor of Jiannan. After leaving those words behind, she left with her maids and servants.
"Lord Governor!"
Wang Chong straightened his robe, straightened his expression, walked over, and gave a respectful bow.
"You're too polite, Chong gongzi."
Zhang Wentuo hurriedly stood up from his seat and returned the greeting. While returning the greeting, Zhang Wentuo assessed the legendary gongzi of the capital in astonishment.
In a place like the capital, Zhang Wentuo was definitely a legendary figure. Many of the things that he had done were inconceivable even to an adult like Zhang Wentuo.
However, Zhang Wentuo couldn't understand why this legendary gongzi of the capital would invite him over.
He had lived in Jiannan for a long time, and other than the annual reporting on his work, he had never spent much time in the capital. As such, he had never interacted with this Wang gongzi before him.
The Wang Clan was a clan of ministers and generals, and Duke Jiu was an esteemed and virtuous minister. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Wentuo wouldn't be able to associate with such a prestigious clan.
Only Protector-General Zhangchou Jianqiong was qualified to interact with them.
Zhang Wentuo couldn't understand why Wang gongzi would bring him up when they had never met before. Not only that, he even brought him up at Protector-General Zhangchou Jianqiong's banquet, even issuing such a bizarre invitation two days ago.
The main reason why Zhang Wentuo agreed to the invitation was due to this doubt.
"He's indeed a ferocious man!"
While Zhang Wentuo was assessing him, Wang Chong was doing the same as well. Even though there were many governors in the Tang dynasty, the one before him would definitely become the most famous one in a few years' time, leaving his name in the annals of history.
Even though it was all because of his dishonorable conduct which was known to the world!
A hundred and eighty thousand elites of the Tang dynasty, hundreds of thousands of civilians, a war that shook the entire Central Plains, and a war that would change the fate of the Tang dynasty and the surrounding powers, all of this was because of the dishonorable actions of this Jiannan Prefect.
If the fall of the Tang dynasty could be described as a chain reaction of dominoes, then Zhang Wentuo, the Jiannan Prefect, would be the first one to fall.
For any shocking event, there would always be a fuse that would be lit first!
And Zhang Wentuo was the one who had lit this fuse.
There was only a thin line between peace and war!
It was this person who had single-handedly ended the two hundred years of peace of the Tang dynasty, leading the country into a chaotic future.
If chaos and destruction had to have a person who would sound the death knell, then this person before him was definitely that person.
Just that, Zhang Wentuo himself probably didn't know of this matter.
Other than Wang Chong, no one else in the entire Tang dynasty knew of this matter.
However, he was different from those who hated Zhang Wentuo to the core.
