Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Three Levels Up_1

Three days later, in his own pharmacy, Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes, which sparkled brilliantly.

The slightest movement brought forth a series of crackling noises from his body, like the popping of beans.

"I didn’t expect that this furnace of Yuan-supplicating pills could actually enable me to rise three levels!"

Ning Fan, feeling the spiritual power within him, exclaimed with joy.

Before his seclusion, he was only at the third level of Qi Refinement, but now, he had broken through to the sixth level in one go!

At this moment, the amount of spiritual power in his dantian had increased manyfold. If he were to spar with the ancient again, he was confident he could defeat him with a single palm!

"Brother, you’re finally out, are you alright?"

Upon leaving the pharmacy, Ning Fan saw Lin Xiaoling waiting anxiously at the door.

Having not seen Ning Fan for three days and nights, Lin Xiaoling couldn’t help but worry.

"Ling’er, do I look like I have a problem? I’m feeling better than ever!"

Ning Fan smiled, with a thought, spiritual power coursed through his body, and he suddenly felt full of unprecedented strength.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

However, his stomach chose an inopportune moment to growl twice.

"Hehe, brother, you’re still boasting when your stomach is protesting! I’ll go cook you a bowl of noodles!"

Lin Xiaoling giggled and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Although Ning Fan was now at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, he was still far from the state of fasting; having not eaten for three days, he was indeed very hungry.

After ten minutes, Ning Fan wolfed down a large bowl of noodles.

Lin Xiaoling’s cooking skills were not as good as Ning Fan’s, but seeing him enjoy it so much gave her a profound sense of satisfaction.

"By the way, brother, Miss Su came looking for you a few days ago. I told her you weren’t here, and she wanted to force her way in," Lin Xiaoling suddenly mentioned.

"Miss Su? What does she want with me?"

Ning Fan turned on his phone to call her, but at that moment, a knock came from the door.

Upon opening the door, it was Baldy Qiang who had arrived.

"Mr. Ning, today is the day of the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting. I couldn’t get through to your phone, so I came to find you," Baldy Qiang said.

"Oh, the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting is today."

Ning Fan slapped his forehead, remembering that he had told Baldy Qiang to call him when the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting was due.

"Mr. Ning, would you like to go take a look?" Baldy Qiang asked again.

"Let’s go," Ning Fan nodded, gave a reminder to Lin Xiaoling, and then got into the car with Baldy Qiang.

The car sped off toward the outskirts of the city.

On the car, aside from Baldy Qiang and Ning Fan, there was also a middle-aged man, and behind them followed around a dozen cars, all filled with capable men handpicked by Baldy Qiang.

If they were going to the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, it was natural to bring the strongest personnel.

In the car, Baldy Qiang introduced the man:

"Mr. Ning, this is the owner of the Liao’s Martial Arts School from the provincial city, Master Liao Zhenting."

"Master Liao, this is Mr. Ning."

Liao Zhenting was a master whom Baldy Qiang had specifically gone to the provincial city and spent ten million to invite. This Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, he was counting on Master Liao to fight for him.

Liao Zhenting, believing Ning Fan was another martial artist hired by Baldy Qiang, greeted with a fist palm salute, "May I know which martial arts school Master Ning is affiliated with?"

"Uh, actually, I’m not a martial artist," Ning Fan admitted honestly.

"You’re not a martial artist? Then why are you coming with us?" Liao Zhenting was taken aback.

"I heard that there will be many martial artists at the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting, so I wanted to go and learn from them," Ning Fan explained.

Then, he pulled out a small vial from his pocket, handed it to Baldy Qiang, and said, "This contains the Potent Strength Pills you asked for. I’ve refined a few for you. They’re very effective, but the side effects are also significant, keep them for life-saving situations."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ning! Thank you so much!"

Baldy Qiang was overjoyed, taking the small vial with both hands and carefully storing it away.

"So you’re an apothecary."

Realizing this, Liao Zhenting said, "For an outsider, the Ghost Festival Boxing Meeting can indeed be eye-opening, but it’s also quite dangerous. Stand behind me later, I’ll protect you."

"Thank you, Master Liao," Ning Fan said with a smile.

Liao Zhenting felt quite pleased with himself and began to elaborate, "Since you’re not a martial artist, Mr. Ning, let me educate you a bit."

"Martial artists are divided into External Strength Martial Artists and Internal Strength Martial Artists."

"External Strength Martial Artists train in external martial arts, developing their muscles and skin. For instance, the legendary Iron Sand Palm, Golden Bell Cover, and Iron Cloth Shirt are all prowess of outstanding external martial artists."

"However, the ultimate potential of External Strength Martial Artists is ultimately too low. They are much stronger than ordinary people but pale in comparison to Internal Strength Martial Artists!"

"As the name implies, those who can cultivate inner strength within their bodies are called Internal Strength Martial Artists. Unlike the External Strength ones, they might not seem as aggressive, but their power is on a whole different level!"

"Among the Internal Strength Martial Artists, there are four levels: entry, Basic Achievement, Great Achievement, and peak. Those who have reached the Great Achievement of inner strength are also known as masters of Internal Strength!"

Hearing this, Baldy Qiang suddenly interjected, "Master Liao must certainly be a master of Internal Strength, right?"

Liao Zhenting’s face flushed slightly as he shook his head, "To reach the Great Achievement of inner strength is not so easy. Among Internal Strength Martial Artists, one in a hundred might achieve it! I’m only at the Basic Achievement of inner strength. But with my skill in the Liao Family Fist, I’m unbeatable below the Great Achievement of inner strength!"
