My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Liang Cheng nodded.

Just then, a gong sounded.

On the high platform in the center of the field stood Wang Teng, dressed in a white robe with gold trim, his hands clasped behind his back. His face was still somewhat pale, but his eyes shone with an inner light as True Qi circulated around his body.

He had reached the True Qi Realm.

At that moment, Dean Bai Hong stood up, his voice echoing across the grounds. "Martial Arts Academy Disciple Wang Teng, having endured his trial and affirmed his ambition, has successfully broken through to the next realm! Today, he is promoted to become the Academy’s fourth True Inheritor! He is granted Residence Number Four on True Inheritance Peak and shall enjoy all the rights and privileges that entails!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

Wang Teng bowed, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below. It paused on Liang Cheng’s face for a moment, and he gave a slight nod. Liang Cheng returned the gesture, not feeling particularly moved.

The ceremony lasted for an hour.

Representatives from various factions came forward one by one to offer congratulations, and gifts piled up like a mountain.

Liang Cheng watched from the side, unmoved by the material possessions. ’When Wang Teng failed to break through, no one paid him any mind. Now, he’s the center of attention, all because he broke into the True Qi Realm.’

’Strength is the foundation,’ he thought. ’Everything else is just icing on the cake.’

...

That evening, the ceremony concluded.

Liang Cheng had just returned to Residence Number Three and hadn’t even had a chance to change out of his formal attire when there was a knock on his courtyard gate. He opened it to find Wang Teng.

His eyes burned with intensity. "Senior Brother Liang, would you be willing to have a spar?"

Liang Cheng was taken aback.

’Wang Teng has always been proud and arrogant,’ he thought. ’He should have been the one promoted to third True Inheritor, but I beat him to it. It seems he still hasn’t accepted his defeat.’

Liang Cheng refused him outright. "Junior Brother Wang, my apologies. You’ve probably heard about the battle at the Dongshan Mine. An old injury to my lung meridians still hasn’t healed, so my True Qi isn’t circulating properly. It wouldn’t be a good idea for me to fight."

Wang Teng glanced at him, then nodded. "Fine. Then once you’ve recovered, Senior Brother, I will come back for a lesson."

Wang Teng took his leave. Liang Cheng shook his head. ’I’ve already fully recovered; I just don’t feel like fighting him.’

’Still a martial arts fanatic.’ Liang Cheng didn’t pay it much mind, but his opponent’s visit had sparked an idea.

’The elixir pill Elder Huang refined must be extraordinary to have helped Wang Teng break through successfully.’ At this thought, he informed Lady Ning, changed into some casual clothes, and headed for the back mountain.

...

「Back Mountain Alchemy Room」

"You brat, you want Source Replenishing Pills?"

After hearing Liang Cheng’s request, Elder Huang shot him a sidelong glance and refused outright. "No! You think you can get benefits after refusing to test my elixirs, you brat?"

"Elder Huang, I was being ignorant. I’m still injured, please help me out just this once."

Liang Cheng’s face was full of sincerity. Elder Huang just sneered. "With your mastery of Hard Skills, you can withstand attacks from most True Qi Realm cultivators. You expect me to believe that little injury of yours is still bothering you now?"

Liang Cheng gave an awkward laugh. Seeing that he was shamelessly refusing to leave, Elder Huang said, "Fine, but it’ll cost you!"

"How much?"

"Four thousand Contribution Points for one pill. A bottle of ten for a discounted price of thirty thousand. If you want them, transfer the points now. If not, get lost and don’t disturb my alchemy."

’The price is absolutely outrageous,’ Liang Cheng thought. ’A whole bottle of Condensing Truth Pills only costs four thousand Contribution Points. This is practically robbery.’

"Deal!"

"Hm?"

Elder Huang was a little surprised. He had quoted an exorbitant price; it was about what a typical True Inheritor earned in an entire year. He couldn’t believe this brat Liang Cheng had actually agreed.

’But I have my reasons,’ Liang Cheng thought. ’An elixir pill that could help Wang Teng overcome his foundational deficiencies and break through smoothly is worth trying. Besides, what are Contribution Points for if not to improve myself?’

Elder Huang then remembered that this brat Liang Cheng had earned quite a bit from the Dongshan Mine. Still, he didn’t go back on his word. He took Liang Cheng’s Jade Token, transferred thirty thousand points, and tossed him a Jade Bottle.

"Source Replenishing Pills. One pill at a time, once every three days. The medicinal power is potent, so don’t get greedy."

"Thank you, Elder Huang!"

...

「The fourth day of the first lunar month. The sky was clear after a snowfall.」

In the Quiet Chamber of Residence Number Three on True Inheritance Peak, Liang Cheng sat cross-legged, a crimson elixir pill the size of a longan fruit resting in his palm.

Faint, cloud-like patterns swirled across the pill’s surface. It was one of the Source Replenishing Pills he had purchased from Elder Huang the other day.

’One pill at a time, once every three days.’

Recalling Elder Huang’s instructions, Liang Cheng popped the pill into his mouth. The elixir pill dissolved the moment it reached his stomach, and a gentle yet immense wave of medicinal power spread through his limbs and bones like a spring tide.

Unlike the sharp, forceful rush of a Condensing Truth Pill, this medicinal power was richer and more enduring, as if it were gently cleansing his meridians and nourishing his Qi Blood.

Liang Cheng circulated the Broken Wave Technique. All nine of his True Qi Seeds vibrated in unison, greedily absorbing the medicinal power. The Source Replenishing Pill released its energy slowly and continuously.

「Three days later.」

As the last wisp of medicinal power was completely refined, the nine True Qi Seeds within his body suddenly trembled in unison, flaring with brilliant light.

Their previously independent orbits linked together. In that instant, Liang Cheng felt the speed of the True Qi flowing through his meridians surge by several times, and it was as if he could hear the roar of a great tide.

As the True Qi circulated, not only did its total volume increase, but its quality also underwent a subtle change. His Broken Wave True Qi, which had once been like a rushing river, now possessed the weight and swell of the deep sea, containing greater explosive power and longer-lasting endurance.

With a slight turn of his thoughts, he guided a wisp of pale blue True Qi out from his fingertip. It condensed without scattering, swirling slowly in his palm like a current of water. His control over his True Qi had improved yet again.

To his surprise, his body, already at Golden Armor Realm Perfection with the Stone Armor Skill, was being nourished by the rich medicinal power of the Source Replenishing Pill and washed by the new Tidal True Qi. His Qi Blood grew even more vigorous, and he felt as if he had boundless strength.

Liang Cheng slowly withdrew his technique, the azure light in his eyes receding.

He clenched his fists, feeling the greater power welling up inside him and the more complete control he now possessed. He slowly exhaled, his breath long and steady, like a dragon’s.

[Broken Wave Technique Second Layer: Great Success (1/15000)]

The effect of the Source Replenishing Pill was truly potent. It not only helped him break through in three days but also fortified his foundation, making it incredibly solid.

"Thirty thousand Contribution Points... worth it."
