Fishing Toad Force was created by Master Zhang in his later years. It is said to have the effect of prolonging life, but unfortunately, almost all the subsequent cultivators died young.
Two who mastered it did so due to their extraordinary talent.
Most people got injured instead.
Over ti, Fishing Toad Force beca a forbidden cultivation technique of the Wudang Sect.
The ban against teaching it wasn't to prevent others from mastering it, but to avoid harming others. This is different from the Vajra Skill, and that's how the Sword God's Smile got his hands on it.
However, this technique is indeed profound. Everyone who has seen it praises it, and through it, they can glimpse Master Zhang's martial arts mastery.
Truly heaven-sent!
In Fang Zheng's view, Fishing Toad Force is not as refined as the gradually perfected Vajra Skill, but its concept is much more impressive.
It even involves...
The power of heart and spirit.
In so places, it has similarities with the One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash.
Master Zhang truly deserves to be an existence at the pinnacle of this realm's Martial Dao. While others are still struggling with body refinent, he began exploring cultivation thods.
"Monk."
The Sword God's Smile specifically warned:
"I asked several seniors from Wudang Mountain. This Fishing Toad Force is extrely peculiar, just take a look, but do not practice it blindly."
"It..."
"Consus primordial energy!"
"Understood." Fang Zheng replied:
"How about Master Zhang and the two others who mastered it?"
"Cultivating Fishing Toad Force depletes the body's essence and blood. Anyway, the seniors said so, which is why the more you cultivate, the weaker your body becos," said the Sword God's Smile:
"Master Zhang was a legendary figure. He could contain his primordial energy without leaking it, using it to temper his five viscera and six bowels. The two others had extraordinary talent, abundant primordial energy, and could eat an entire ox a day. They supplented with dicinal herbs to keep up with the consumption."
"Essence and blood? Primordial energy?" Fang Zheng pondered and asked:
"Can it be replenished with nutritional injections?"
"..." The Sword God's Smile was apparently taken aback, and after a mont responded:
"I just asked the seniors. They said no, the primordial energy consud by Fishing Toad Force isn't just surface-level nutrition, but involves the essence of the body."
"Even the prescribed dicinal formulas don't work. Otherwise, more people would have mastered it."
"To be honest, this technique seems a bit mystical. If it wasn't confird to be from Master Zhang, I would suspect it to be a scam."
"By the way, don't spread it, it'll be bad if soone sses up their body."
Indeed.
In modern society, although there are martial arts, they mostly involve the movent of qi and blood and the power technique.
Essence and blood, primordial energy, power of heart and spirit...
These terms clearly exceed the scope and can be classified under the realm of fantasy novels.
"I understand."
Fang Zheng comprehended, put down his phone, and picked up the printed cultivation technique.
In terms of martial arts realm, he admitted he couldn't compare to the Divine Fist Zhang, but in terms of understanding martial arts in this world, he wasn't intimidated.
In the Otherworld, there are experts above Three Blood.
The author of "Notes on Martial Arts" is one such person.
Fang Zheng had morized "Notes on Martial Arts" thoroughly and received several pointers from Du Sheng of the Pan She Martial Arts Hall, understanding the Three Martial Arts Realms deeply.
He also trained in dozens of martial arts techniques.
In modern society, he could definitely be considered a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Although Fishing Toad Force is profound, in so areas it amazed Fang Zheng, but he ultimately saw it as a body tempering technique.
At most,
it involves the subtlety of underlying qi and blood.
"Besides Master Zhang, only two others mastered it in later generations. Those two, even with extraordinary talent, probably didn't have my solid foundation now."
"If they could master it, there's no reason I can't!"
With this thought, Fang Zheng sat cross-legged and silently manipulated his qi and blood according to the thods described in Fishing Toad Force, causing his five viscera and six bowels to gently move.
Ti slowly passed.
An hour later.
"Whew..."
Fang Zheng exhaled a turbid breath and opened his eyes, a look of fatigue on his face, and a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
"I was careless!"
"The two who mastered Fishing Toad Force were forty, and their bodies were already declining, ultimately failing to achieve the prolongation effect."
"I won't take that long to master it, but the consumption of qi and blood is indeed..."
"Terrifying!"
With his martial arts mastery, entering the doorway of Fishing Toad Force wasn't difficult.
On the first attempt at cultivation, the five viscera and six bowels absorbed the surrounding primordial energy like a hungry glutton, strengthening themselves.
Just after an hour, he was already sowhat overwheld.
The key is...
This thod weakens the strength of the skin and bones to strengthen the internal organs, which is equivalent to not increasing one's strength, a futile effort.
Unless reaching Master Zhang's level, where rely manipulating the body's qi and blood can temper the internal organs, but that level of control over the body is far beyond what Fang Zheng can achieve now.
"Primordial energy!"
"Still primordial energy!"
Thinking it over, Fang Zheng lightly knocked on the table:
"There's no solution here, but in the Otherworld, perhaps there is!"

Three Purities Temple.
"Elixir to replenish primordial energy?"
Zhang Mingrui furrowed his brows:
"Why is Young Master Fang inquiring about this? You're still young, as long as you don't squander recklessly, you shouldn't worry about running out of primordial energy, right?"
He spoke with a light smile.
"No." Fang Zheng shook his head and said:
"I have a cultivation technique that requires the consumption of primordial energy to practice, but primordial energy is rare, how can it all be used up?"
"So I want to ask if there are any elixirs for replenishing primordial energy to assist in cultivation."
"Oh!" Zhang Mingrui's eyes shifted slightly:
"Is there such a thod? Young Master Fang isn't cultivating so yin-nourishing, yang-tonifying evil technique, is he?"
"Absolutely not." Fang Zheng was speechless:
"Daoist, just tell if there is one!"
"No need for haste, Young Master Fang." Zhang Mingrui chuckled lightly:
"Elixirs to replenish primordial energy are few, but they do exist."
"I happen to have two Nourishing Essence Pills, bestowed by the sect. They can replenish essence and blood and primordial energy, but they only replenish; they won't increase. Under normal circumstances, taking them would be useless and might disrupt the body's natural balance of qi and blood."
