As he prepared to continue his cultivation, Lu Shang focused on refining his martial core and strengthening the flow of qi within it. He delved deep into his meditation, connecting his soul with his martial core and channeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish and fortify his internal strength.
Gradually, he began to notice the fruits of his labor. His internal strength increased, his control over his qi became more refined, and his martial skills became more precise and powerful.
He could feel the gradual transformation within his martial core as his internal strength grew stronger and more refined. His connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth deepened, allowing him to harness its power with greater efficiency. The fifth stage of the consolidation realm was no longer a mere stepping stone; it had become a solid foundation upon which he could build his further cultivation.
