Yang Chan’s Martial Arts Cultivation had broken through to External Refining of Iron Bone Perfection, just as he’d hoped. He had even deployed the Fusion Martial Seal Nine Oxen and Two Tigers, which combined his Ox Demon Martial Seal and Tiger Demon Martial Seal. After feeling the power boost it provided, he didn’t try to push it any further.
It wasn’t suitable to use such power within the Cyan Yuan Sect. Doing so offered no benefit and risked exposing his true Cultivation.
His Cultivation was his ultimate life-saving asure, and he wouldn’t reveal it easily.
Besides, he was only seventeen and had already reached External Refining of Iron Bone Perfection. This fact alone would surely bring him a lot of trouble, and trouble was the last thing Yang Chan wanted.
Displaying an External Refining Copper Skin Cultivation was already impressive enough. Anything more would be a bad thing.
Therefore, he chose to keep a low profile.
He would have plenty of ti to experint with the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Martial Seal later.
He changed his clothes—after all, he didn’t own a pair of pants like the Hulk’s that could stretch and shrink. After another glance at the pitch-black night sky outside, he lay down on his bed to sleep. ’Pulling an all-nighter shortens your Lifespan,’ he thought. ’My life is more important.’

「Cyan Yuan Sect, Instructor Hall.」
After learning that Han Zhengcheng, the Hall Master of the Instructor Hall, had returned to the Cyan Yuan Sect, Yang Chan ca to the hall once more to request the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod.
"Elder, this disciple, Yang Chan, wishes to use the rits and Contribution Points I earned while away from the Sect to exchange for the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod. I ask for your approval."
He also had the letter of recomndation given to him by Gu An, the dicine Hall Master.
"This is the recomndation letter from Hall Master Gu."
Yang Chan then presented the envelope to Han Zhengcheng, the Hall Master of the Instructor Hall.
"Since this is a letter of recomndation from Hall Master Gu, I won’t ask any more questions."
After taking the envelope, Han Zhengcheng looked over its contents. It ntioned Yang Chan’s ritorious service in Tan City and the request to teach him the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod.
The letter only provided a general outline, but it was enough for him to approve the request.
Normally, only a Direct Disciple could be taught the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod, but an exception could be made with a guarantee from soone at the Hall Master Level.
Within the Cyan Yuan Sect, many influential mbers had juniors they looked after. If one of them was outstanding, they would often provide a recomndation. Such practices were considered reasonable.
Yang Chan’s case of exchanging rit for an Inner Refining Cultivation Technique was also considered reasonable, so Han Zhengcheng naturally had no grounds to refuse.
The only thing that gave him pause was teaching the complete Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod. However, since it was Gu An’s recomndation, he could grant the full request.
"Thank you for your approval, Elder Han!"
Yang Chan clasped his fist in gratitude.
’It’s finally happening.’
"Next, I will demonstrate the cultivation of the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod and its Martial Seal Visualization Image. Pay close attention. I will perform the demonstration three tis. If you can’t learn it by then, that will be your problem."
"Of course, I will also give you the secret manual for the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod. However, you must not share it with anyone. Once you have morized it, you are to destroy it imdiately."
"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Han Zhengcheng explained these crucial points to Yang Chan with a stern expression. They were matters of extre importance, potentially life-threatening, so it was imperative that Yang Chan paid close attention.
The Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod was an extrely important Cultivation Technique within the Cyan Yuan Sect. Anyone who obtained it was bound to be an important and highly trusted figure in the Sect; otherwise, they would never be granted access.
Although the Cyan Yuan Sect allowed disciples to exchange for Cultivation Techniques of an equivalent level, when it ca to a technique like the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod, a thorough investigation was mandatory. The exchange would only be permitted after confirming that the disciple had no issues and possessed potential worth nurturing.
Although Yang Chan hadn’t revealed much of his Martial Arts Talent, his aptitude as a Pharmacist was excellent, which naturally made him a person worth investing in.
In Hall Master Gu’s eyes, Yang Chan could beco an Interdiate Pharmacist. This implied he had a high chance of reaching the External Refining Iron Bone Realm, which was the peak Martial Arts Cultivation for most Interdiate Pharmacists. As for whether he could break through to the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens, that would depend on personal opportunity and his own Talent.
One could brute-force their way through the External Cultivation realms with enough Cultivation Resources, but Inner Refining wasn’t so simple.
Besides vast Cultivation Resources, it also required opportunity and Talent.
Many experts in the Cyan Yuan Sect were stuck at the External Refining Iron Bone Realm, unable to break through.
The Stewards of the various halls were almost all at the External Refining Iron Bone Realm. So had even been Direct Disciples before, but after failing to break through to Inner Refining, they beca Sect Stewards in the hopes of eventually achieving an Inner Refining Cultivation.
The gap between External and Inner Refining wasn’t just in Cultivation level; there was also a vast difference in Lifespan.
An External Refining Iron Bone Expert would be fortunate to live to be sixty, whereas those in the Inner Refining Realm almost always lived past one hundred. The difference was imnse.
If a Direct Disciple of the Cyan Yuan Sect failed to break through to the Inner Refining Realm after a prolonged period, they would be stripped of their status and required to take on duties for the Sect.
This was because the Sect needed disciples who could beco Inner Masters, not those who had exhausted their potential.
Once a person’s potential was depleted, it was only natural to shift focus to cultivating soone who still had it.
"To practice the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod, you must first focus on your breathing. It begins with the Six Viscera Tempering. The Six Viscera are the stomach, gallbladder, triple burner, bladder, large intestine, and small intestine. This Tempering is done internally and can be very dangerous. Therefore, you must use a specific breathing technique and coordinate it with the Flood Dragon Demon Force to perform a gentle Tempering. This process requires your utmost attention."
"If you use too much force and injure the Six Viscera, you will be left with hidden injuries that will affect your future Cultivation. Therefore, when you begin the Tempering, the force you apply must be extrely supple. Use the unique Flood Dragon Demon Breath in coordination with the Flood Dragon Demon Force to temper the organs slowly. It is a process that requires patience, like water wearing away stone."
"There is no required order for which of the Six Viscera to temper first. As soon as you successfully temper one, you will have broken through to the Inner Refining Realm, becoming what is commonly known as an Inner Master."
"The Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens Cultivation is not a singular step; it also prepares you for the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera. The large intestine corresponds to the lungs, the small intestine to the heart, the stomach to the spleen, the gallbladder to the liver, the bladder to the kidneys, and the pericardium to the triple burner. Therefore, the one of the Six Viscera you choose to temper first will grant a corresponding boost in power. The choice depends on your personal inclination."
"Among them..."
Han Zhengcheng’s explanation was incredibly detailed, covering everything from the Inner Refining of the Lungs and Spleens to the Inner Refining of the Five Viscera. Although he had not yet reached the stage of refining the Five Viscera himself, his theoretical knowledge was extensive. Yang Chan listened attentively, committing every detail to mory. This information was crucial for his future Cultivation, and he couldn’t afford to be careless; he would be the only one to suffer for any mistake.
"For the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal’s Cultivation, the emphasis is on the Visualization Image. You need to visualize the Flood Dragon Demon..."
After finishing his explanation of the Flood Dragon Demon Breath thod, Han Zhengcheng didn’t stop. He went on to discuss the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal—that is, the Flood Dragon Visualization thod. It seed he intended to teach Yang Chan as much as the young man could possibly absorb.
"You can look at the Flood Dragon Demon Martial Seal on my body. Use it as a reference."
Han Zhengcheng didn’t just talk; he also gave a demonstration.
