7: Chapter 7 The Power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique

The introduction to this Cultivation Technique was roughly the same as what he already knew.

The difference, however, was that the version of this Cultivation Technique he held could only be practiced up to the 12th level, and each level consisted of 9 practice postures, totaling 108 postures across the 12 levels.

Each posture had 36 variations, containing the number of Tiangang. By using different postures to guide the flow of blood within the body, it strengthened the practitioner's Qi and blood, gradually influencing and reinforcing all 206 bones and 639 muscles in the body, ultimately reaching the Realm of Golden Marrow, Jade Bones, and Molten Blood.

The so-called Golden Marrow, Jade Bones, and Molten Blood meant that upon reaching Major Achievement, one's bone marrow would resemble flowing gold, the 206 bones would be as white as jade, and the Qi and blood throughout the body would be as scorching as molten lava.

Furthermore, every level successfully completed would add the strength of one Dragon-Elephant to the Physical Body, making it a top-tier external martial art.

The book wrote of the strength of a "Dragon-Elephant," not the strength of one Dragon and one Elephant as he remembered.

He knew what a Dragon was, and he knew what an Elephant was, but as for what creature a Dragon-Elephant was, he did not know, though it sounded quite high-end and impressive.

However, while the Cultivation Technique was ridiculously powerful, the difficulty of practicing it was equally ridiculous. For an ordinary person, it would take at least one month to fully master each posture, and at least nine months to successfully complete one level of the Cultivation Technique.

This was because every posture required a gradual, step-by-step approach; without fully mastering the previous posture, one could not thoroughly practice the next.

Each posture far exceeded the limits of the human body.

Eighteen minutes later...

Lu Siye, sitting on the floor in a strange posture, blinked his eyes as beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his astonished face. He said incredulously, "I... just unlocked all 9 postures this easily?"

"What happened to needing a month to master one posture? Am I really a once-in-a-ten-thousand martial arts prodigy?"

"Or is all of this thanks to that Medicinal Pill from last night?"

Lu Siye still remembered that the introduction of the "dragon spirit tiger gall pill" mentioned it could enhance martial arts talent, but he hadn't expected it to be this powerful.

Lu Siye practiced it again to confirm once more.

Eighteen minutes later, the 9 postures were completed in one go, without any difficulty.

When he held the final posture, he could clearly feel the speed and direction of his blood flowing within his body. The blood was constantly scouring his blood vessels, and wisps of scorching Qi were born from the blood, continuously strengthening his blood circulation System.

He could feel himself slowly growing stronger. His brain, which had been somewhat drowsy from lack of rest, instantly became clear, and every cell in his body was cheering. He began to grow somewhat addicted to this feeling.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from Lu Siye's stomach, forcibly interrupting this feeling.

Hungry! So hungry!

A strong sense of hunger was constantly assaulting his stomach. This unprecedented hunger made his eyes turn a bit green, and every cell in his body was sending out signals craving food.

He rushed into the kitchen, found everything edible, and swept it into his stomach like a whirlwind.

No matter what the food was, once it entered his stomach, it would be digested by his powerful digestive ability, turning into wisps of energy that were transmitted through his blood to every corner of his body.

Ten minutes later, the kitchen was in a mess. Although Lu Siye was still very hungry, he had finally regained his sanity.

"System, what is going on? Did I practice the Cultivation Technique incorrectly?" After regaining his sanity, his first action was to ask the System.

"Practicing the 'Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art' requires consuming a large amount of Qi and blood. Host, this is a symptom of insufficient Qi and blood. Once you replenish the lost Qi and blood, you can eliminate the hunger."

"Such an important matter, why didn't you say so earlier, System?" Lu Siye resisted the hunger and continued to rummage for food.

"Host, you did not ask beforehand."

"I..." Lu Siye was speechless.

"Fine, tell me System, do you have any way to quickly replenish Qi and blood?" Lu Siye asked through gritted teeth.

"You can quickly replenish Qi and blood by strengthening food or medicine that has blood-replenishing properties."

"Things that can replenish blood..." Lu Siye looked at the red dates in his hand, which he had just found under the table in the living room.

He hurriedly tore open the package, opened his large hand and reached in, grabbed 10 red dates, and silently commanded in his heart to strengthen them.

"Does the Host wish to consume 100..."

"Don't talk nonsense, strengthen them quickly." Listening to the inquiry in his ear, Lu Siye hurriedly shouted, as he was about to lose control.

As a stream of light flickered, the originally shriveled red dates in his hand instantly became plump, and a sweet fragrance wafted towards his face.

Just by smelling them, he felt wisps of warm currents entering his body, which alleviated that tormenting hunger a little.

Without much time to observe, Lu Siye hurriedly tossed the strengthened red dates into his mouth and swallowed them whole, flesh and pit together.

Boom!

Lu Siye felt as if he had swallowed 10 fireballs. Infinite heat exploded in his stomach, turning into streams of hot energy that penetrated his stomach wall, rushed into his blood, and swept towards his limbs and bones.

The hunger was wiped away. Immediately after, his Qi and blood began to surge violently. His skin surface instantly turned crimson, a wave of heat rose from his body, and the sweat on his face was rapidly evaporated, leaving behind spots of white salt stains.

Oh no, there's too much Qi and blood!

Lu Siye felt that his body at this moment was like an over-inflated balloon. All his blood vessels, muscles, and skin were swelling at the same time, as if his entire body was about to explode.

He immediately began to Cultivate, repeating the nine postures of the "Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art" over and over again, enduring the intense pain while struggling to guide the violent Qi and blood within his body to flow in an orderly manner.

Under his guidance, gradually, all the Qi and blood merged into his blood, blood vessels, and heart.

Suddenly!

An extremely scorching breath emanated from Lu Siye's body, like a blazing furnace.

At the same time, Lu Siye's heartbeat became increasingly powerful, gradually emitting a thumping sound like a drum; from within his blood vessels also came a rushing sound, like clear water flowing.

The heat wave on his skin began to dissipate, his skin gradually contracted, and all the Qi and blood were completely refined.

Lu Siye opened his eyes and instinctively stretched his body. A faint, elusive sound resonated from within his body, sounding neither quite like a Dragon nor quite like an Elephant.

Lu Siye suddenly came to his senses. Heart like a beating drum, blood like a flowing spring, and the Dragon and Elephant sounding in unison—these were the characteristics that could only be possessed after practicing the first level of the "Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art" to Major Achievement.

"Is this considered a success?"

Lu Siye was pleasantly surprised. He felt that his body contained infinite power, as if tearing apart tigers and leopards or splitting mountains and cracking stones would be effortless.

He threw a few punches casually, and a violent sound of breaking wind rang out. Each punch could unleash a fierce gust of wind, blowing the curtains on the balcony a few meters away, making them rustle loudly.

Is this the strength of one Dragon-Elephant? He had only used a portion of his power, yet he could already unleash such terrifying wind from his punches.

It was simply terrifying!
