The next day, at dawn.

"How many variations do you think you can execute in a single move with your current understanding?" Shan Lingguan asked expectantly.

Last time, he noticed that the boy had learned quite a few martial arts techniques, indicating his high martial arts aptitude.

But the awkward thing is...

Chen Ku currently didn't have the Hui Dragon Transformation, which could enhance his 'aptitude,' so he could only shake his head and say, "At most... four or five variations."

Currently, the Transformation Diagram on him consisted of the Five-colored Peacock, Flower Fox Mink, Er Lang, Fire Beak Pot, and Red-Tailed Bee.

Shan Lingguan wasn't too disappointed, as he had only taught him for one night, and said:

"Then you should go back and practice properly. Oh, and don't forget to take the Dragon Tiger Qi Doubling Pill your senior brother gave you. If everything goes well, when you complete the Li Fire Body, it should be the time you break through into the Fourth Realm, the Meridian-Opening."

Chen Ku bid farewell to Shan Lingguan and returned to his own courtyard, informing Medicine King Hall that he would be focusing on closed-door practice to break through. His family stayed at Medicine King Hall, while he needed to stay quietly in the courtyard he bought.

The main reason was to cultivate the Huntian Overlord Body, which couldn't be seen by others.

Yang Luochen, who had just taught Chen Ku the fourth layer of the Meridian-Opening Incantation, didn't mind. He was only slightly worried about Chen Ku possibly being secretly targeted by the Fish and Dragon Association, but on second thought, given Chen Ku's current strength, even if Li Yutang came personally, Chen Ku would be able to protect himself and escape if necessary, so he let Chen Ku proceed.

Returning to his own large courtyard.

Chen Ku immediately removed the Red-Tailed Bee Transformation and replaced it with the Hui Dragon Transformation, which could elevate his aptitude to the 'Rare Level.' He began to deduce in his mind how many variations he could execute with the aid of this aptitude.

Thousand One, one thousand one hundred and one moves.

In Chen Ku's mind, more than a hundred move silhouettes and actions instantly appeared, all condensing into a single move.

This move could be a sword, spear, saber, halberd, or it could be a staff, cudgel, hammer, or claw.

"A hundred and eight variations!"

Chen Ku muttered to himself:

"With the rare talent of Hui Dragon Transformation, the ability to execute the 'Thousand One' containing a hundred and eight variations in one go."

What he didn't know was that he had already reached the 'Minor Achievement' stage of Thousand One.

If Shan Lingguan knew that after Chen Ku donned the Hui Dragon Transformation, he could instantly execute over a hundred variations, he would absolutely treat Chen Ku like his own son.

"Let's try again, with the rare talent of Hui Dragon Transformation, to see how quickly 'Fire Cloud Technique' of the first layer of Tyrant Body can refine 'Lihuo True Qi' and 'Li Fire Body'!"

Without hesitation.

During the cultivation process, Chen Ku directly swallowed the Dragon Tiger Qi Multiplying Pill given by Qin Yuxian. Instantly, he felt the Qi power within him expand like an inflating balloon...

As if a small pond had suddenly become a large lake!

A feeling of seemingly endless Qi power lingered in his heart:

"This is the feeling, taking advantage of the abundant and swelling Qi power, a single push, train the cultivation body, transform into the true body, enter Meridian-Opening..."

Chen Ku began serious cultivation in his room.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, if someone could see Chen Ku, they would find that the clothing on the person sitting cross-legged on that heated bed had already been completely burned clean.

This was the characteristic resulting from his cultivation of the Fire Cloud Technique, where 'Lihuo True Qi' emerged within his body.

The strange thing was.

His skin showed no signs of scorching; rather, it appeared as healthy as white jade.

This is precisely why the Heavenly Tyrant Body requires the cultivator to possess a corresponding spiritual body. If the cultivator does not inherently have a fire-related spiritual body, then the first layer 'Li Fire Burning Body' checkpoint cannot be passed.

Only a naturally fire-associated physique can achieve not only an unburnt body in the flames but also forge a supreme cultivation body through the flames.

Seven days passed.

Chen Ku suddenly opened his eyes, from which a golden light shot out, incredibly intense, as if he had developed a pair of Fire Eyes.

Hoo!

As he exhaled, many things in the room spontaneously caught fire, reaching ignition point, but as he inhaled again, those flames were reabsorbed into his body.

At this moment, looking internally within his body, he felt that the Inner Qi flowing through his veins were no longer Inner Qi, but rather rivers of magma.

"Is this Lihuo True Qi?"

Chen Ku felt the Lihuo True Qi constantly surging through his meridians, and in this seven-day period, he had rushed through three meridians recorded in the Medicine King Hall's 'Fourth Realm: Meridian-Opening Chapter,' which were considered difficult to break through.

"The Meridian-Opening Realm literally means opening up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians in the human body, totaling twenty meridians, so that once the meridians are cleared, the Inner Qi flows as if on a highway, achieving unprecedented speed and power."

Previously, when Chen Ku was breaking through the Mystic Barrier, he traversed the Girdle Vessel. Back then, passing through the Girdle Vessel took an entire night.

Now, with the aid of Lihuo True Qi, it was as if mountains were being cut and temples were being broken, demons were being subdued. He roared through with Lihuo True Qi, meeting no resistance.

"No wonder Master said that after I have the Dragon Tiger Qi Multiplying Pill and train in Lihuo True Qi, the moment I form True Qi will be when I break through to Meridian-Opening."

Chen Ku felt the Lihuo True Qi within him and the three meridians he had opened: the Three Yin Meridians of the hand—Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, and Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian.
