Absorbed from the Wild Boar Meat, it should have dissipated over time.

But now, it was forcefully brought together into the Dantian by Zong Shou’s Guiding Technique.

It could enhance the body, transform into Inner Breath, heal injuries, and even be transferred to others, with numerous uses.

In his past life, Zong Shou stood above hundreds of millions of players, and this Guiding Skill was a significant contributor to his supremacy.

Usually, Zong Shou would practice inside the carriage, three times a day.

Chuxue had seen it before and, after a brief look, lost interest.

This was the first time Yiin Yang had witnessed it, and after just one glance, a sharp gleam grew evident in his eyes, fixated.

Not until Zong Shou completed the entire set of the Guiding Technique did Yiin Yang’s piercing gaze subside.

He said indifferently, “I wonder, Princely Heir, where did you learn this set of movements?

With diligent practice, even if one cannot become a great hero, it will strengthen the body—”

Zong Shou nodded slightly, acknowledging the instruction, but a hint of peculiarity flashed across his face.

In these seven days, all he knew was that he had studied for quite some time at the very familiar Coastal Academy and was only recently retrieved by the two people.

More so, with his insight and experience, he couldn’t fathom the depth of Yiin Yang.

Calm and composed, with measured actions, in no way did he seem like a mere charioteer.

After finishing the pork, Yiin Yang Chuxue each retired to meditate and regulate their breathing.

Their breaths became even, almost as if they had fallen asleep.

Zong Shou also sat down cross-legged, and tentatively, he started to practice a basic mental method.

He transformed the Essence in his Qi Sea into Inner Breath.

At first, he didn’t feel much, but as the energy streams barely entered his meridians, he felt an acute pain throughout his body, as if ten thousand steel needles were simultaneously piercing him, nearly causing him to cry out in pain.

Instinctively, Zong Shou inhaled sharply but didn’t want to disturb the two beside him, forcibly enduring it.

Only after a moment did the severe pain slightly abate, leaving his front and back drenched in cold sweat.

“Indeed!

It’s because of the parallel meridians!”

A glimmer of realization flashed through his eyes, and Zong Shou stirred his Thoughts, causing the warm streams to return entirely to the Qi Sea.

For the time being, he gave up on continuing to practice Inner Qi.

In the Cloud Realm, all races based their cultivation on the nine Wheel Meridians within the Body Meridian.

Nine Wheel Meridians encircled the body.

However, as Zong Shou circulated his energy, he distinctly felt the Essence within his meridians split and travel separately.

As he had suspected, his body indeed contained Dual Veins!

This body was half-demon, possessing the Bloodlines of both the Human Clan and the Fox, each of distinguished origin, endowed with the strengths of both lineages, and the root bone and Five Elements Spirit Root were undoubtedly extraordinary.

However, precisely because of this, there was conflict between them, which made his physical strength terrifyingly low, preventing him from normally cultivating any Inner Qi.

For anyone else with a body constitution of Dual Veins running parallel like this, they would likely give up on practicing Martial Arts.

But to him, it wasn’t entirely hopeless.

What he was most grateful for in coming to this world was the decades of reading in his previous life and the testing in virtual Illusion Realms, which accumulated Martial Arts experience far beyond any Martial Artist of this era!

Recalling the information from his past life, Zong Shou’s brows gradually furrowed.

He could either practice special Kung Fu suitable for Dual Veins, of which his memory contained several types, all with exceptional power, at least better than Absolute Skills, but none were suitable.

Alternatively, he could obtain several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Strengthen one of his Bloodlines to suppress the other, improve his constitution, and unite the Dual Veins.

Such rare and precious materials, however, were not even contemplated by Zong Shou.

“Indeed, it serves me right!

Fiery Fire Cold Flame Technique, Great Reversed Luo Divine Technique, Sun and Moon Radiant Wheel, when I obtained them before, why didn’t I examine them carefully?

Although they were a bit trashy—”

As he brooded over the issue, the thoughts in his mind suddenly flashed like spirit light, and another passage of text swept by.

“The Way of Heaven takes from the plentiful to replenish the lacking.

The Way of Man takes from the lacking to serve the plentiful—”

Zong Shou’s expression froze for a moment.

Then the next instant, as if seeing a venomous snake, he hurriedly drove those memories out of his consciousness and buried them deep in his mind.

These words came from an Ancient Martial Arts technique he had once acquired by chance, known as ‘Swallowing Essence.’ It had caused boundless troubles in the Cloud Realm, stirring countless bloodshed, its name known across ten thousand worlds, deemed taboo by all.

If he used this technique, it could indeed resolve the conflict between his Bloodlines and even explosively increase his cultivation.

However, unless he was truly in a life-and-death situation and had no other choice, he was reluctant to touch it.

Especially with his Dual Veins body, which might only introduce more complications.

At this moment, he was still hesitant.

With a sigh, Zong Shou decided to disperse all the gathered Essence into his four limbs and hundred bones, strengthening his body.

Especially his pair of hands, making the muscle groups stronger and the tendons and bones tougher.

He then cut down a piece of Iron Wood, commonly seen in the Cloud Realm, from a nearby forest.

With his Fine Steel Treasure Sword, he carved out a handful of half-foot long wooden Flying Knives.

Standing by the carriage window, Zong Shou raised his wrist slightly, and a dark shadow immediately shot out from his sleeve.

In a blink, it was already twenty zhang outside the carriage, deeply embedded in a small tree, emitting a ‘duo’ sound as the light impact rang.

“Left by half a millimeter!”

Ever since being driven by Yiin Yang, the speed of the Cloud Flipping Chariot had increased by quite a bit.

The small tree used as a target quickly passed by in the field of vision and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
