Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Immersed in this realm, Zhu Bufan completely forgot himself, each punch and kick natural and fluid, like an antelope hanging by its horns, untraceable.

At first, Zhu Bufan's movements lacked any force, but soon, guided by an unknown force, the Cold Ice Internal Energy in his body began to circulate slowly with his movements.

A faint blue light enveloped Zhu Bufan's hands, and the originally silent courtyard suddenly stirred with a slight breeze.

Whoosh whoosh...

The wind grew stronger, and Zhu Bufan's movements became swift and powerful, bursting through the breeze with a fierce breaking sound.

As Zhu Bufan sped up his movements, the Cold Ice Technique inside him crazily accelerated as if it had a booster attached.

Following that, Zhu Bufan's whole skin took on a bizarre blood-red color; unexpectedly, the Hanhai Tide Technique began to operate on its own without him realizing.

Oh…

A stabbing intense pain emerged all over Zhu Bufan's body.

Stimulated by the pain, Zhu Bufan suddenly broke free from his selflessness, and sitting cross-legged on the spot, he began his cultivation.

Gurgling~~

Soon, a faint sound of flowing water came from Zhu Bufan's body, and the moisture in the air, under the pull of the Cold Ice Technique, quickly gathered around him, quickly covering him with a translucent blue ice crystal.

The Ninth Layer Technique of the Cold Ice Technique rapidly operated within Zhu Bufan's body, yet the feeling of obstruction became increasingly apparent.

"Am I about to make a breakthrough?"

Feeling all this, Zhu Bufan was overjoyed and strived to maintain his mental state, fully focusing his mind on the flow of his Inner Qi.

Zhu Bufan pushed his Inner Qi to the limit, confirming the route of the Seventh Layer in his mind several times, and then, with a shift in thought, he launched a fierce assault towards the Seventh Layer.

Buzz…

It felt like hitting a steel plate, a loud roar erupted in Zhu Bufan's head, and his meridians suffered severe damage from the impact. However, having endured the painful body refinement of the Hanhai Tide Technique, Zhu Bufan merely frowned slightly and did not wake from his cultivation.

Having barely touched this bottleneck, Zhu Bufan was not so easily discouraged; he regathered his Inner Qi and launched another assault.

Hmph...

Zhu Bufan grunted, a mouthful of fresh blood rushed to his throat, spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The painstakingly gathered Inner Qi, in this assault, scattered and uncontrollably rampaged through his meridians.

With Inner Qi wreaking havoc in his body and the burning pain in his meridians, Zhu Bufan dared not neglect this—if the meridians were severely damaged, it would create a significant obstacle for future cultivation.

Again driving the Cold Ice Technique, he divided the Cold Ice Internal Energy into two parts, slowly recollecting the scattered Inner Qi.

It took great effort to gather all the chaotic Inner Qi, but it seemed impossible to break through to the Seventh Layer.

Zhu Bufan sighed deeply, just about to give up, when an unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, a burning sensation arose in his lower abdomen, and a strong, pure Primordial Qi surged forth.

Stirred by this, the Cold Ice Technique naturally started operating, quickly refining these energies into Cold Ice Internal Energy.

Feeling the surfeit of Inner Qi, his meridians seemed to swell; Zhu Bufan no longer hesitated and, riding on this abundant Inner Qi, launched another attack towards the Seventh Layer.

"Boom boom…"

Two consecutive sounds, Zhu Bufan seemed to hear a crisp 'crack', as if something inside him shattered, suddenly making everything inside connect smoothly.

But, Zhu Bufan did not stop cultivating; instead, following the Seventh Layer cultivation route, he propelled the Inner Qi with his mind and began to circulate it slowly, trying to strike at the first acupoint of the Seventh Layer.

...

Unbeknownst to him, goose feather-like heavy snow began to flutter down, quickly blanketing the earth in white. In the elegant courtyard, a pile of snow more than half a meter high formed, but after a while, a gust of warm air emerged from the snow pile.

Crack...

The pile of snow suddenly burst open, revealing a figure.

"Seventh Rank!" Zhu Bufan leapt to his feet, his face undisguised with a smile.

"Haha, I've finally stepped into the ranks of the experts!" If it weren't for fear of arousing suspicion, Zhu Bufan really would like to raise his head and howl, venting the turbulent emotions inside him.

Looking at the nearby rocks, Zhu Bufan offered a slight smile, a blue glow hidden in his hand, yet the Cold Ice Technique inside him was fully operational.

"Bang..."

A crisp explosion sounded, and the rock, three meters tall and nearly two meters wide, was cleanly split in half, leaving a clear palm imprint about half an inch deep on the solid stone surface.

Seeing this, Zhu Bufan inwardly nodded, impressed by the strength that a Seventh Rank Martial Artist should possess, and quite satisfied amidst his amazement.

For a Martial Artist, cultivating cultivation methods is fundamental, but Martial Arts are equally crucial. Both complement each other and are indispensable.

"It seems, it's time to choose some Martial Arts!"

Zhu Bufan's eyes twinkled with a brilliant light, muttering to himself.

Taking advantage of the snowy weather and fewer people around, Zhu Bufan headed to the library.

The so-called library is a modest two-story building, one of the simpler and more worn-out structures within the Zhu Mansion.

The entire library has few restrictions, as top-tier cultivation methods are typically kept within the clan, and in the Zhu Mansion in Nanli City, only basic materials are stored.

Of course, even these basics are much more advanced than what is circulated in the outside world.

Outside the library, two guards glanced at Zhu Bufan, their expressions unchanged, standing immobile like stone statues.

Zhu Bufan was accustomed to this; he had visited here countless times. Politely nodding to the two, he walked into the building.

Upon entering the library, he immediately noticed a burst of brightness, followed by a wave of the fragrance of books.

The library strictly prohibits fire, but there are glass lamps or Luminous Pearls scattered about, illuminating the entire library as bright as day.

Zhu Bufan was very familiar with the library environment, directly bypassing the first floor and heading to the second.

On the second floor, a few of the Zhu Family's youths were reading and copying books. Feeling someone approaching, they glanced over and seeing it was Zhu Bufan, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces; some sneered and continued with their tasks, while others showed disdain.

However, Zhu Bufan ignored all this and went about his business.

The second floor, unlike the first floor filled with an array of books, had only about a third of the number of books.

However, this floor contains only books related to Martial Arts cultivation including Inner Qi Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and some seniors' cultivation experiences.

The books were well-organized into five areas according to the Five Elements Cultivation Techniques - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, perfectly surrounding the circumference of the building. In the center, long tables were placed where one could sit and read, equipped with writing materials at intervals for copying secret manuals.

Since Zhu Bufan cultivated Water Element techniques, he directly went to the Water Element section.

The first things that caught his eye were the Inner Qi Cultivation Techniques. These included the Cold Ice Technique, Soft Water Technique, Surging Wave Technique, etc. that Zhu Bufan cultivated.
