Chapter 9 - The Internal Health-Nourishing Technique

Chapter 9: The Internal Health-Nourishing Technique

The Ling Yun could be directly added to a broad category of abilities or individually allocated to a sub-skill.

But if added to a vast ability like [Martial Arts], a single Ling Yun would be diluted, spread thin across the immense, intricate martial system.

If he had enough Ling Yun, of course, he would add it to [Martial Arts] directly. But with only one for now, he reconsidered.

Investing it in a single branch would yield much greater value.

With Fang Han’s conscious command, the words “Health-Nourishing Technique” on his status panel began to blur.

A ripple of transformation occurred, and new words gradually emerged—

“Internal Health-Nourishing Technique” (Perfected).

Fang Han didn’t even have time to reflect. A wave of clarity surged through his mind, as streams of refined information emerged along with the change in the status panel.

In a daze, Fang Han seemed to run through the Health-Nourishing Technique again and again. Each iteration refined the method, simplifying the breathing and qi-blood circulation routes. The unnecessary complexity was removed, leaving something far more efficient… and more powerful.

His consciousness immersed in this near-enlightenment, Fang Han instinctively sat cross-legged, and as his breathing stabilized, the faint thread of inner energy he had only just cultivated began circulating on its own.

He had no idea how much time passed…

When Fang Han finally woke from this state and opened his eyes, the tiny wisp of inner energy had grown into a faint current. It still wasn’t “strong,” but compared to before, it had expanded a hundredfold!

Fang Han gasped softly in awe.

“This is worth a year of grinding effort!”

The cultivation of inner energy isn’t a matter of simple addition. It’s not like you cultivate one strand today, and tomorrow you’ll have two.

It’s a gradual, layered process. And even after nurturing a strand of inner energy, it doesn’t just stay—it can dissipate if not reinforced through regular practice. Even if you diligently trained every day, you’d be lucky to retain half of what you generated the day before.

What’s more, when your inner energy is weak, it’s easier to manage. But the stronger it gets, the harder it is to maintain and refine.

So even though this growth was “only” a hundredfold, it was truly equivalent to a full year’s worth of painstaking cultivation!

And the best part?

That wasn’t even the main reward.

Fang Han’s gaze turned to the status panel.

He focused his mind.

“Internal Health-Nourishing Technique” (Perfected): A method of internal cultivation focused on health, primarily through regulation of breath and circulation of qi and blood.

Although the technique’s purpose hadn’t changed, compared to the previous “Health-Nourishing Technique,” this new version was vastly more refined!

It didn’t feel like something that had been “bestowed” on him, but rather like something he had spent years perfecting. Except this process had been instantaneously accelerated.

Based on his sense, if he had to manually refine it over time, even ten years of effort might not be enough to reach this level.

Even more amazing—despite evolving into a new technique, its martial realm was still at the Perfected level!

That meant Fang Han had fully mastered this improved version of the technique.

“I struck gold…”

A single Ling Yun had given him massive returns.

Not only was his technique far more elegant, but his inner energy had grown dramatically.

This proved his earlier hypothesis—

The upgrade strengthened both mind and body simultaneously!

Granted, the mental aspect took the lead, while the physical side was like a bonus.

But still—that was insane!

Fang Han’s eyes lit up completely.

“If I had a hundred Ling Yun… I’d be unstoppable!”

Unfortunately, his excitement cooled a bit as he looked at the [Simulation Count: 0].

Back to reality.

“Only one simulation per year, huh? I’d better start planning how to increase my simulation rating.”

After all, the Simulation Rating determined how many Ling Yun he would earn.

If he couldn’t increase the number of simulations, he’d have to maximize their quality instead.

If he could score multiple Ling Yun in one go, he’d win big.

“Tch… shame.”

“Just when I want to grind, I can’t! Damn it!”

Fang Han closed his eyes and focused again, running through the newly evolved Internal Health-Nourishing Technique to consolidate his understanding.

But soon, he stopped.

“Too much of anything is bad.”

He shouldn’t overdo it.

After cleaning himself up, he headed out.

Though Linshui City was just a small city within Song, it had its scale. It wasn’t luxurious, but it was bustling enough.

Thanks to the Song Dynasty’s economic power, commerce thrived everywhere, including Linshui. The streets were crowded, noisy, and full of life.

Fang Han made his way from his home through the busy streets and arrived at a clinic on Xinghuan Street.

He pushed open the door and stepped in.

The place wasn’t large, but it was well-equipped.

“Small yet complete.”

This was also part of Fang Han’s month-long achievements.

He had established a new clinic, creating a sustainable way to live.

To be honest, with the help of the [Life Simulator], it would’ve been easy to make money, especially now that everything was set up.

But Fang Han didn’t care much for wealth. He believed in “just enough is fine.”

So the clinic wasn’t for money. After all, what little it brought in didn’t matter.

Its main purpose was to serve as his public-facing occupation.

If he needed a job anyway, why not pick the one he was best at?

One—it kept his medical skills sharp.

Two—he genuinely wanted to help people.

Three—it helped him root himself in this new world.

“What about traveling the land? Fighting the good fight? Wandering the martial world?”

Ha!

Fang Han had zero interest in that right now.

With the Life Simulator, why risk real-world danger?

He could explore, train, and uncover martial secrets all through simulation!

Why take real risks when the simulator offered safer, more efficient progress?

So he’d already made up his mind:

“On the surface—I’m just a humble doctor running a clinic.”

“In the shadows—I’m grinding lives and mastering god-tier martial arts!”

The dream of becoming the Sword God of Ten-Mile Slope reignited once more!

Tap, tap—

Footsteps echoed.

Fang Han snapped out of his thoughts and turned toward the sound.
