Although there is still so way to go before completely expelling the Acquired Muddy Qi and achieving the Postnatal Great Perfection physique, this is at least a significant step forward.
With this montum, Zhao Ya continued to practice other martial arts.
Feeling inspired, Zhao Ya leapt onto the roof, left the Capital City directly, and chose a remote location to practice martial arts that require larger movents.
After finishing the final move of the Great Vajra Fist, Zhao Ya slowly exhaled a stream of white breath, which dispersed only after extending over three ters away.
Seeing this unusual phenonon, Zhao Ya was delighted and quickly opened the attribute panel.

[Lung unlock progress: 50%]
After supplenting with that piece of dried at, advancents in all aspects were remarkable, but the most noticeable was that the lung unlock progress had finally reached fifty percent.
Once the internal organs unlock to fifty percent, their innate talents gradually beco apparent.
For example, Zhao Ya now felt his breathing was incomparably smooth, like a fish long dried has finally returned to water, with every cell in his body rejoicing.
Just one piece of dried at increased lung unlock progress by at least three percent, so with this box of Black Flood Dragon Dried at, the lungs could be fully unlocked.
It seems the generous gift sent by Yun Yuan is indeed quite substantial.
For the next few days, Zhao Ya went nowhere and stayed at ho all day practicing martial arts.
With the support of crazily chewing on dried at as if eating als, Zhao Ya’s strength accelerated into the fast lane, growing at an almost frightening pace.
The Acquired Muddy Qi in the bone marrow was gradually decreasing, which also ant that advancing to the Fifth Realm was no longer an unattainable goal, but a threshold that could be perceived.
Just then, the channel he set up in the Anshan Square Inn received news from Chen Xiao’Er.
A secret hideout for He Town hidden in Yan Capital City was found.
Zhao Ya imdiately stopped practicing and t with Chen Xiao’Er at the agreed location.
"As per your instructions, I have been discreetly inquiring about the news, and today I finally got the answer. It turns out He Town indeed has a secret hideout in the city. Let take you there now!" Chen Xiao’Er said excitedly when they t.
In contrast, Zhao Ya was much calr.
"How did you get this information?"
Chen Xiao’Er replied, "A friend of mine told . He said that when He Town was alive, he would often disappear without reason, and by chance, my friend saw him in Cyan Dragon Square, but He Town didn’t notice him. He was too afraid to speak up, so he kept it a secret until He Town died before telling ."
"Once inford, I focused on investigating and indeed found so clues at Cyan Dragon Square."
Undoubtedly, Chen Xiao’Er is a talent.
He could deduce many things from sparse details and conduct investigations based on them.
This alone is better than many people.
After carefully questioning Chen Xiao’Er, ensuring there were no traps or signs of a setup by the Four Seas Gang, Zhao Ya decided to go to Cyan Dragon Square.
This Cyan Dragon Square is located in the southernmost part of Yan Capital City, close to Qixia Gate, and the inhabitants are mostly from the bottom of society.
He Town chose such a place for a secret hideout, which shows a lot of thought.
Upon arrival at Cyan Dragon Square, Chen Xiao’Er quietly pointed.
"See it? It’s that house at the innermost part of the alley."
Zhao Ya nodded, "Find a hidden place to stay, and I’ll go take a look by myself."
"Understood!"
Zhao Ya wasn’t worried about Chen Xiao’Er’s safety. Soone like him, who has been living on the streets since childhood, could hide from an average Martial Artist if he wanted.
Although it was morning, Cyan Dragon Square wasn’t bustling; many people had gone out to make a living, so the area appeared deserted.
Zhao Ya used his Body Technique to first move to the side of the house at the alley’s end and listened carefully.
After a mont, Zhao Ya frowned.
Though there were no sounds, Zhao Ya’s Ear Power was keen enough to notice much.
He heard breathing from at least three people inside, two of whom had young breaths, likely kids, and a third, though an adult, had scattered breaths, suggesting no martial arts skills.
What’s going on?
Why would He Town, after putting so much effort into setting up a hideout, have such people guard it?
After ruling out potential dangers, Zhao Ya slipped into the courtyard silently.
The people inside were completely unaware, even when Zhao Ya barged in, only waking up once he entered.
One was a woman in her twenties, and beside her were two children only about four or five years old.
At the sight of Zhao Ya intruding alone, the woman appeared terrified, shielding the two children closely, and stamred.
"Please... sir, we have nothing at ho, I beg you to spare us three."
Facing this situation, Zhao Ya understood imdiately.
It turned out that He Town did indeed have people delivering things here, but this wasn’t a secret hideout; it was He Town’s mistress.
The two kids, without asking, should be He Town’s offspring.
Zhao Ya silently cursed Chen Xiao’Er for being careless, not doing enough howork beforehand, resulting in this misunderstanding.
But at this point, he had no choice but to put on a stern face and ask, "Don’t talk nonsense. Who is He Town to you?"
"He Town? I don’t know anyone by that na!"
"Then whose kids are these?" Zhao Ya pointed at the two children.
Surprisingly, these two kids weren’t afraid of Zhao Ya but instead gazed at him with their dark eyes.
"Of course, they’re my husband’s, but my husband’s surna is not He; his na is Liu Guan!" the woman replied tremblingly.
"Where is he now?"
"He said he was going out for business, claiming it would take a month or two to return, but now it’s been three months without any word. Please sir, this is all the silver we have; don’t harm us, I beg for our lives!"
The woman pulled out a handful of scattered silver taels, pleading bitterly.
Zhao Ya knew He Town probably hadn’t told this woman the truth, not even revealing his real na.
Yet seeing her utterly devoted appearance, He Town seed to have treated her well.
"Alright, answer a few of my questions honestly, and I won’t harm you or your kids. Understand?"
"Yes, sir, please ask!"
"Did your husband say anything before he left?"
"He didn’t... He only said he was out for business, telling to take good care of the kids and go out as little as possible."
Observing the woman’s expression, Zhao Ya was certain she wasn’t lying and felt quite disappointed.
Could it be that he was wrong?
Maybe He Town had no secret hideout; all he had was what he carried?
"Did he leave anything behind?" Zhao Ya asked persistently.
"No... he only left so scattered silver, nothing else."
Zhao Ya sighed inwardly, realizing this trip might yield no results.
He glanced at the woman, noting her plain looks, just a good figure.
He didn’t expect the murderous He Town to be fond of won, going through so much trouble just for an ordinary woman.
The woman seed to misinterpret Zhao Ya’s gaze, paled, and quickly shielded the kids’ eyes while stamring.
"Sir... as long as you don’t harm my kids, I’ll do anything you want, but can you not do it in front of them?"
Zhao Ya found this both amusing and frustrating but maintained a stern face and said, "Stop with the nonsense. I said I won’t harm you, and I won’t. But I must warn you, your man is in so trouble out there, and soon others might co to cause trouble for you. To stay safe, you should leave here as soon as possible."
Since Zhao Ya could locate this place, others could as well.
If the Four Seas Gang or anyone else with a grudge against He Town ca, the fate of the mother and her kids would be grim.
So Zhao Ya gave this advice and turned to leave.
At that mont, seemingly moved by Zhao Ya’s words, the woman suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a mont!"
"Hmm?"
"My husband left sothing with before he left."
