  Before tempering the iron block, Wei Zimings right hand had a flush of flame-like redness, and his eyes flickered with an expectant light, as if anticipating what was about to happen next.

  Suddenly, a low and muffled sound of "Boom" echoed in the secret room. Wei Zimings palm struck the trial iron block with lightning speed, leaving a deep palm print on it. This new palm print was deeply embedded in the iron block, compared to the original palm print that already existed, this one was like a deep pit, while the original one was at most a shallow puddle.

  "Indeed! The purity of the inner energy has undergone a huge change, and the inner energy has become very pure, with a significant improvement in quality. The amount of inner energy contained in that one palm was the same as before, but the result is vastly different."

  According to the experience of cultivation, the simplest explanation for the improvement of cultivation is the increase in internal energy. After reaching the fifth level, every time you advance a level, the quality of your internal energy will only be improved to a certain extent.

  "Now that my cultivation has reached the fourth layer, logically speaking, the quality of my internal energy shouldnt have improved, but in fact, it has. This result should be due to the mysterious statue." Wei Ziming looked at the palm print in front of him, a smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself.

  This was an unexpected surprise, Wei Ziming had been practicing martial arts since he was six years old, and it took him nine years to raise his cultivation to the third layer, and he still hadnt reached the peak of the third layer.

  Under normal circumstances, Wei Ziming would need to cultivate for five or six years before he could raise his cultivation to the peak of the third layer, and breaking through the barrier of the third layer was still a distant dream.

  After all, the higher the cultivation base, the more difficult it is to make further progress, and the higher the level of the barrier, the harder it is to break through.

  At this moment, Wei Ziming not only upgraded a level, but the quality of his inner strength also improved, with such changes, Wei Ziming was extremely delighted.

  Wei Wei adjusted her mood slightly and then Wei Ziming walked to the only table in the practice room, picked up the long sword with a scabbard on the table.

  Slowly drawing out this long sword, under the lamps reflection, a wisp of cold light flashed quietly, this was an excellent steel-textured sword, with cold light flashing and its sharpness revealed, a thread of chill intent entwined around the swords edge.

  Wei Ziming chose the sword as his weapon. Cultivation was a dull thing after all, so the sword became the regulator of Wei Zimings cultivation life. However, Wei Ziming still had self-awareness and knew that his talent was not good, so he didnt spend too much energy on martial skills.

  So, until now, Wei Ziming still hasnt mastered any martial skills. The palm prints and sword marks on the trial iron are just what Wei Ziming did when he was practicing to the point of dryness and adjusting his state, not some kind of palm technique or sword technique leaving behind a mark, but purely one palm or one sword.

  "Swish, swish, swish..." The sound echoed, in the dimly lit secret room, a few snow-white, yet chilling sword flowers flickered. Although Wei Ziming had never practiced any sword techniques, this long sword had been in his hands for six or seven years.

  It is said that practice makes perfect, although Wei Ziming did not practice any sword techniques at this moment, but after a long period of grinding with the steel-textured sword, it became an extension of his arm and part of his body.

  The next moment, Wei Ziming sheathed his long sword in an instant. After a moment of contemplation, he opened his mouth and muttered to himself, "Now that Ive reached the fourth level of cultivation, I can feel that my bodys recovery has brought about a drastic change in my innate talent. As long as I cultivate, I can sense my cultivation increasing every moment. What I need most now is a martial skill that can boost my combat strength."

  With a firm grip on his attention, Wei Ziming put down the long sword in his hand, opened the iron gate that had been closed for two days, and walked out.

  Although Wei Ziming was locked in the room for two days, Wei Ziming was a martial artist with internal energy after all. Two or three days without eating anything was still okay. However, after coming out, the first thing Wei Ziming did was to solve his hunger and thirst. The food he ate was also dried meat and other dry rations that had been stored in advance.

  Its noon now, and because this place is located on the edge of the desert, the sun at noon is exceptionally intense and scorching. The air in the distance can be seen to be slightly distorted due to heat waves.

  The Wei family members are sparse, but the Wei family village still occupies a large area. There are more than 100 servants, but at this temperature, no one is willing to walk on the streets and corridors at this moment, so it seems extremely empty and cold.

  On the street corridor, only Wei Ziming was walking alone. The destination of this trip is the Cangshulou in the depths of Majiazhuang, where the secret manuals of Gongfa are stored. It is a forbidden place for lower-ranking people, and only direct descendants of the Wei family have the qualifications to enter the Cangshulou and choose suitable Gongfa and martial arts techniques for themselves.

  After a while, Wei Ziming arrived at his destination. The Book Pavilion was a sturdy stone building with no other buildings around it, looking empty and desolate, surrounded by high rocky walls that isolated the pavilion.

  As Wei Ziming stepped into the range of the library, he suddenly felt a deep and profound gaze cast upon himself, a feeling that someone was staring at him emerging from the bottom of his heart.

  Although Wei Ziming knew that the library was guarded and had been here before, he hadnt felt this gaze in the past. It seemed that after the changes in Wei Zimings body, his spiritual senses had also become more sensitive.

  Although being stared at by a gaze, Wei Ziming knew that this gaze had no malice whatsoever, so he pretended to be unaware and continued forward. Sure enough, the gaze lingered on Wei Ziming for a moment before shifting away.

  When Wei Ziming walked to the front of the stone building, the heavy stone gate was opened. From the stone gate came out Wei Ziwu, Wei Zimings twin brother. This stone building was where Grandfather Wei Yongde had been in seclusion for many years. Because Grandfather Wei Yongde had set up a small stove for Wei Ziwu, Wei Ziwu followed Grandfather Wei Yongde to cultivate his skills. Therefore, it was not unusual that Wei Ziwu appeared here.

  "Zi Ming, has your internal energy fully recovered?" Wei Zi Wu asked with a hint of concern, sizing him up and down before speaking.

  "Ah! Fully recovered!" Wei Zimings cultivation was not only fully restored, but also made a breakthrough at the same time. However, Wei Zimings breakthrough was too fast, recovering his energy in just two days and easily breaking through to the fourth layer, giving people an unbelievable feeling. So Wei Ziming could only temporarily hide it and wait for an opportunity to reveal it, and for now, he could only follow along with Wei Ziwus response.

  "Ah! Come on in! Ill take you to Grandpas place." Wei Ziwu heard this and showed an expression of "I knew it", then smiled.

  "Alright!" In Wei Zimings memory, Grandfather Wei Yongde was a kind old man. Since he had come here, it was only right that he should meet Grandfather Wei Yongde, so he spoke up straightforwardly.

  This stone building has three floors, and Grandfathers retreat is on the third floor. Although it is called a library, there are no bookshelves or books stored on the first, second, or third floors, so the entire stone building looks very empty. As for those martial arts manuals, they are actually stored in the underground secret room of this stone building.

  "Grandfather!" After a moment, the two walked to the third floor and saw an old man with silver hair. The two of them respectfully said in unison that this old man was Wei Yongde, the grandfather of Wei Ziming and Wei Zi Wu.

  Although Wei Yongde had a head of silver hair and his face bore the marks of time, he was still tall and robust, with a ruddy complexion and calm, deep eyes that seemed like a deep pool. His cultivation had reached the peak of the tenth level, without any sign of old age, and a benevolent smile spread across his face.

  "Haha! Alright, Ive also heard from Ziwu about your recovery, come let me take a look." Wei Yongde looked at Wei Ziming with eyes full of spirit and vitality, and faintly sensed the internal energy fluctuations within his body. He couldnt help but smile and beckoned to Wei Ziming, saying...

  "Yes! Grandfather" Wei Ziming heard this and walked forward as instructed, but his heart tightened. It seemed that Grandfather wanted to test him. If so, the fact that he had reached the fourth level of cultivation would be known to Grandfather. He still wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell others, it seemed he needed to think of an excuse to explain later. His heart couldnt help but smile wryly.

  "Hehe! Alright, Ziming, choose a martial arts secret book to cultivate, and lets put the improvement of your cultivation aside for now." Wei Yongde simply stretched out his right hand to stroke Wei Zimings head, with an old mans benevolent attitude towards his grandson, without probing into Wei Zimings cultivation.

  "Ah! Grandfather, I also want to cultivate a martial arts secret book." Wei Yongde simply stroked Wei Zimings head with a benevolent expression, which made Wei Ziming let out a sigh of relief and also spoke up.

  Grandfather Wei Yongde has an unyielding dignity in the eyes of his brothers, but in front of his grandson, he is always very kind.

  While the older generation of brothers were always very obedient in front of Wei Yongde, they also had an unyielding dignity in front of Wei Zimings generation, and no one dared to touch the tigers whiskers of the older generation of brothers.

  "Alright! Zi Ming will be fine once he opens up, thats all. Lets have Zi Wu take Zi Ming to pick out a martial arts manual." Wei Yong De heard this and let out an imperceptible sigh.

  Wei Yongde watched Wei Ziming grow up, and he was very impressed with Wei Zimings unyielding determination. Unfortunately, Wei Zimings physical condition is not good. If his physical condition can keep up, even if his talent is average, with Wei Zimings perseverance, his future achievements will be immeasurable.

  In Wei Yongdes opinion, after going through a near-death experience, Wei Ziming should not be so obsessed anymore. Now that Wei Ziming is willing to waste time on martial arts, it is also the best proof.
