This is a cliff over ten ters high.
Even with Zhao Ya’s Lightweight Body Technique, he would need to find a point to exert his strength at least once midway to reach the top.
After all, it’s equivalent to a building over thirty ters tall.
But today is different.
After successfully opening the Foot Jueyin Liver ridian, Zhao Ya felt as if limitless power was contained within his legs.
So he wanted to test whether his Lightweight Body Technique had improved.
First, he stood still under the cliff, then looked up at the top.
Zhao Ya then suddenly leaped upwards, his body shooting up like an arrow off the string.
In an instant, Zhao Ya leaped four or five feet high, which was already a frightening number.
After all, with no run-up and rely relying on his leaping force, reaching this height was enough to prove the prowess of Zhao Ya’s Lightweight Body Technique.
But humans are not birds, and after reaching the highest point, Zhao Ya’s body inevitably began to fall.
But at this mont, Zhao Ya lightly tapped the air with his feet, borrowing a bit of force out of thin air, and then leaped upwards again.
This was precisely the Leg Technique, Planting Lotus in Fire, that Zhao Ya painstakingly broke through!
The mystery of this Leg Technique lies in borrowing force from nowhere.
But even so, after jumping another two ters high, Zhao Ya once again exhausted his strength.
In the past, Zhao Ya could only tap the rock wall with his toes, borrowing external force to go up.
After all, no matter how mysterious the Leg Technique, it couldn’t be used without limit.
At most, it could only provide one extra leap before strength depleted completely.
But this ti was different, just as the old force had gone and the new force had yet to be born, Zhao Ya felt the Azure Dragon True Power surge into his legs.
Zhao Ya’s spirits lifted, and he tapped the air again, and unbelievably perford the Planting Lotus in Fire once more, forcibly reaching the top of the cliff.
After landing, Zhao Ya slowly exhaled, first calming the boiling Qi Blood within him, then looked back at the deep cliff, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
Just opening one leg ridian had such an effect, what would it be like once all the ridians in his body were completely opened?
However, now was not the ti to ponder such things because, aside from the Foot Jueyin Liver ridian, there was another frontier on the brink of breakthrough.
Zhao Ya glanced at the progress of unlocking the large intestine and small intestine, both at 99% and 98% respectively, then gritted his teeth and took out the jerky he had confiscated from Hei Yunzi.
After consuming them over these days, very little jerky was left.
Lately, Zhao Ya had been reluctant to eat it, saving it for breakthroughs.
Zhao Ya threw the jerky into his mouth all at once, chewed slightly, then swallowed it down.
With the surge of Qi Blood, Zhao Ya earnestly began practicing the Eight Vajra Longevity Skill.
Honestly, practicing the Eight Vajra Longevity Skill now, for Zhao Ya, was no longer just a Cultivation Technique.
It felt more like a rembrance or reliance.
When practicing it, Zhao Ya not only didn’t feel the slightest annoyance but instead felt incredibly relaxed.
Within the flowing movents, the Qi Blood and True Power in Zhao Ya’s body slowly circulated.
The Star-Devouring True Power and Azure Dragon True Power, which were already integrating, beca even more inseparably intertwined.
Once he completed all the movents, Zhao Ya felt a warmth in his lower abdon after standing still, and then a prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Small Intestine Unlocked, Talent Acquired: Separating Clear and Descending Dregs]
[Large Intestine Unlocked, Talent Acquired: Transforming Wastage]
In an instant, Zhao Ya felt a squirming in his abdominal viscera followed by an indescribable comfort.
It was as if a gas knot that had been pent up for years suddenly unclogged.
Feeling refreshed, Zhao Ya opened the attribute panel.
Na: Zhao Ya. Age: 21 years. Remaining Life: 3877 ( 75 days) years

[Three Jiao Unlock has begun, current progress: 1%]
[Bladder Unlock has begun, current progress: 1%]
As expected, after unlocking the small and large intestines, the next to begin unlocking were the Three Jiao and Bladder organs.
These were the last two organs of the Six Viscera.
At this mont, another line of prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[After unlocking all Six Viscera, talents can be rged]
Zhao Ya instantly beca interested.
Honestly, the functions of the Six Viscera organs overlap in many areas and are primarily related to digestion.
But if all Six Viscera are unlocked, and their talents rge, who knows what kind of a scene it would be.
Then Zhao Ya opened the Human Body Outline Map to see the previously fog-heavy human map now lit up by a myriad of light dots.
The organs and acupoints unlocked and transford, along with the Dantian occupied by the silver starlight and green Azure Dragon True Power.
Each one testified to Zhao Ya’s arduous journey.
The achievents gained were remarkable.
At least now, Zhao Ya was confident that even when confronting soone as excellent at ridian Opening as Shen Yunshen, he would have the power to fight.
Since the official ridian opening, it has been less than half a year.
This progress is not exaggerated at all; it can truly be described as "unprecedented."
But Zhao Ya’s ambitions go far beyond this.
He wants to see how high his strength can reach after all his body’s ridians are open, and all his acupoints and viscera organs are refined.
Moreover, there’s the even more mysterious Primordial Sea stage; whether it is indeed as powerful as Fu Dongjun wrote in the Star-Devouring True Power Secret Manual, reaching a state akin to that of a Land Immortal.
At this ti, it was already late, and Zhao Ya rembered he had promised Tian Yixin to go drinking with him, so he quickly tidied up and hurried over.
When he arrived, the at had long been roasted, and along with Tian Yixin, Gui Xuanqing was also there.
Upon seeing Zhao Ya, Tian Yixin said helplessly.
"Junior brother, the at is almost burnt, and only now do you arrive. I almost went to the back mountain to find you."
Tian Yixin knew that Zhao Ya usually liked to train in the back mountain, hence the remark.
Zhao Ya apologized, "I got carried away with training and lost track of ti."
Tian Yixin rolled his eyes and then said to Gui Xuanqing on the side.
"You hear that? He says he just got caught up in training. You should give your brothers a break."
Gui Xuanqing looked at Zhao Ya with admiration.
He clearly rembered that he entered the Azure Dragon Temple together with Zhao Ya, and in less than a year, he had fallen so far behind.
Previously, he wondered if his talent was so poor that he couldn’t even see Zhao Ya’s shadow anymore.
It wasn’t until today that he found the answer.
With such diligence and hard work, not succeeding would indeed be unjust.
At this mont, Zhao Ya chuckled and sat down.
The venison, marinated for an entire afternoon and roasted over a low fire, was so tender and juicy that one might swallow their tongue.
Paired with the aged wine Gui Xuanqing brought, the group enjoyed eating imnsely.
Just as they were happily eating, Qin Jianji suddenly burst in, his face serious.
"Ya, co with quickly."
Though unsure what had happened, Zhao Ya felt a heaviness in his heart seeing Qin Jianji’s expression.
Clearly, sothing significant must have occurred.
So he imdiately responded and got up to leave.
Tian Yixin and Gui Xuanqing, seeing this, couldn’t sit still and followed along.
The group returned rapidly to the Azure Dragon Temple on the mountain and arrived at the Contribution Departnt in front of their sect.
Upon arrival, Zhao Ya found that many people had already gathered.
Many had faces filled with indignation.
"This is simply outrageous!"
"Indeed, attacking our people on our territory, how lawless can they be?"
At this ti, Qin Jianji parted the crowd, leading Zhao Ya inside.
There, Shen Yunshen was seen squatting on the ground with a frosty face, and several people lay on the ground.
These were disciples of the Azure Dragon Temple, but at this mont, they all lay motionless on the ground, looking as if they were dead.
Seeing Zhao Ya arrive, Shen Yunshen seed to see a savior.
"Ya, co quickly to see what happened to your brothers. Have they been poisoned?"
Zhao Ya imdiately went over to examine them.
After a mont, Zhao Ya softly hmm’d, then looked up at Shen Yunshen.
"Indeed, they are poisoned."
"Can you cure them?" Shen Yunshen imdiately asked.
"I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee it will work," Zhao Ya replied deeply.
"Okay, tell what you need now, and I’ll get it for you imdiately," Shen Yunshen said urgently.
Zhao Ya then picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a list of herbs.
"These herbs should all be at our dispensary, but there might not be anyone there at this ti..."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already inford them; just send soone to fetch the herbs quickly." A voice ca from outside, and then Guan Xuejiang quickly walked in.
"Great Elder!"
"Greetings, Great Elder!"
The disciples present all saluted.
Guan Xuejiang nodded slightly, focusing entirely on the few unconscious disciples on the ground.
"What happened? I ca over imdiately after receiving a report. How did they suddenly get poisoned?" Guan Xuejiang asked deeply.
"They received a task from today to hunt Exotic Beasts in the forest three hundred miles to the east. They left the temple in the morning, and by evening, they were in trouble. For specifics, you can ask these people." Shen Yunshen pointed to several disciples beside him.
Guan Xuejiang turned to look at them.
Though these disciples were also injured and exhausted from the day’s rush, they still tried to perk up as Guan Xuejiang looked at them.
"Great Elder, we were in the forest working together to hunt the Exotic Beast, but at a crucial mont, a group suddenly appeared. They attacked us without even a greeting."
"We fought desperately, but the opponent used dastardly thods, and so even poisoned us from the shadows. These brothers were caught unaware and fell to the poison."
"Oh? Then how did you all return?" Guan Xuejiang imdiately asked.
It’s not that he was suspicious, but if things were as these disciples described, they should have perished in that forest.
"We don’t know either. After these brothers were poisoned, those people suddenly stopped attacking. Then soone said it was just a minor lesson, a demonstration of their thods, and next ti, blood will be drawn."
