Chapter 37: Entering the Blood Refining Realm

【Lucky: 32
Tidal Breathing (Minor Success) +】

"promote."

In his mind, as Geng Xuan focused his thoughts clearly, the Tidal Breathing Method from the Minor Success Stage was advanced to the Major Success Stage.

Good luck was also rapidly consumed in the process. When it stabilized again, there were only 20 points left. This promotion alone deducted 12 points.

【Lucky: 20
Tidal Breathing (Great) +】

All kinds of experiences and tips about tidal breathing quietly emerged in Geng Xuan's mind. The ripples from the skin around his body to the flesh and blood under the skin became more and more obvious, and the pressure that flowed into his body like a tide became greater and greater.

On the other hand, each breath became deeper and more thorough, and his lungs, along with other internal organs, were more deeply involved in each of his breaths.

In an instant, the pressure brought to the body by the two "milling wheels" inside and outside increased significantly.

Under such pressure, the efficiency of tempering the flesh and blood around the body has reached a new level.

After carefully feeling it, Geng Xuan thought to himself:

"With the efficiency of the Great Accomplishment Realm Tidal Breathing Method in refining the flesh, I only need to stabilize it for another four or five days before I can formally practice the "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong" and begin the third stage of body tempering."

The Xuanshui Gong of the Ca Nu was a blood-refining technique.

Cai Nu and Xuan Shui both mean mercury.

The ultimate purpose of this technique is to cultivate the blood in the body to be as watery as mercury.

This does not mean that the blood in the human body should be cultivated to be as heavy as mercury, but that the concentration of vital energy in the blood should be increased by several times or even several times, just like condensing water into mercury.

When refining blood, what is refined is not the blood, but the life force in the blood, making it purer and more concentrated.

For a cultivator who has achieved success in blood refining, the strength will be greatly improved compared to a cultivator who has only tempered his body to the level of skin refining and flesh refining.

With more sustained combat power and stronger endurance, whether it is high-intensity combat or desperate escape, practitioners in the Blood Refining Realm clearly have greater advantages.

The key point is that the level of skin and flesh refining of cultivators who have reached the Blood Refining Realm is only higher than that of cultivators in the first two realms of Body Tempering.

At the same time, even if a Blood Refining Realm practitioner is seriously injured, such as having his aorta severed, or even more extreme, having his heart pierced by a sword, he will not lose his combat effectiveness immediately and will be able to hold on longer, thus buying himself more time.

It can be said that starting from the third level, both combat capability and survivability will have a qualitative improvement.

In comparison, the skin refining of the first stage of body tempering and the flesh refining of the second stage are still somewhat superficial.

After many days of study and comprehension, Geng Xuan no longer had any difficulty understanding "The Mysterious Water Skill of the Caesar".

There are only two real thresholds.

One is that the basic physical quality is not up to standard.

The second is to change from “understanding in the heart” to “actually doing it with the body”.

This is actually the most difficult part, but for Geng Xuan, it is the easiest part and can be solved by consuming some good luck.

Therefore, the only thing he lacks from reaching the third stage of body tempering is his physical fitness.

Just as the practice of tidal breathing has basic requirements for physical fitness, the practice of Xuanshui Gong is no exception, and the requirements are even higher.

In order to allow practitioners to more accurately judge whether they have the qualifications to enter the third stage of body tempering and begin practicing the Xuanshui Gong, the book provides more precise standards for the levels of skin and flesh refining.

Practitioners only need to conduct a few tests according to the methods in the book to make a clear judgment.

This was also something Geng Xuan found quite interesting and also very practical.

In the book, the achievements of body tempering in each realm are divided into zero percent, from before tempering begins, to ten percent, when tempering is completely thorough.

In order to start practicing the Xuanshui Gong of the Lady Maiden and officially enter the third stage of body tempering, the prerequisite for the body is to "refine the skin to 50% and refine the flesh to 40%.

Geng Xuan tested himself according to the method in the book and found that his skin refining had reached 60%, not only meeting the requirements, but even exceeding them by a lot.

This was the result of the master's iron skin skills and the high-intensity tempering these days. The level of flesh refining had only reached about 270% or 30%, which was still far from the standard of "40% flesh refining".

But Geng Xuan believed that as the tidal breathing method advanced to the great perfection realm, the level of flesh refining would surely be rapidly improved in a short period of time.

By then, he would be able to enter the third stage of body tempering, and there would no longer be any obstacles.

However, the price of such rapid improvement is horrific physical consumption.

For example, at this moment, while the tidal breathing method of the Great Accomplishment Realm allowed the blood and flesh throughout the body to be efficiently tempered and improved, the warm current that filled the whole body brought by the half-pound of tiger bone, deer ginseng wine was also quickly disappearing.

After only an hour, the warm current that originally filled the body was gone, and the body was once again filled with a feeling of emptiness and hunger that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

It was not until Geng Xuan picked up the tiger bone, deer ginseng wine and drank half a pound of it again that he was able to barely make up for the loss caused by this training.

……

Four days later, at night.

Geng Xuan picked up the jar of tiger bone and deer ginseng wine again. He tilted his head back and let the last drop of wine in the jar pour into his mouth. However, he still couldn't make up for the physical deficiency left after practicing the tidal breathing method of the great success realm intensively today.

Looking at the unopened bottle of Bear Heart and Leopard Gall Wine next to him, Geng Xuan just sighed a little in his heart, then he just picked up the jar and started drinking.

Compared to the mild and soft tiger bone, deer ginseng wine, the bear heart and leopard gall wine was obviously much more violent. The wine that was constantly swallowed into the stomach was like a ball of flame, which turned into sparks and scattered into the limbs and bones.

In addition, the alcohol was much stronger.

After drinking several glasses of wine to make up for the deficiency in his body today, Geng Xuan felt a little drunk as the warm current filled his limbs and bones again.

At this moment, Geng Xuan didn't care about these.

Driven by the tidal breathing method of the great success realm, after several days of high-intensity training, the level of flesh refining has advanced by leaps and bounds, and has officially crossed the threshold of "forty percent flesh refining".

A piece of information arrived as he expected and appeared in his mind this afternoon.

[The host has already mastered all the skills and tricks of "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong", and his body also meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. He can quickly get started by consuming three points of red luck. ]

【whether?】

At that time, facing this new change, Geng Xuan was just happy in his heart, but he did not stop what he was doing.

It was not until this moment that Geng Xuan finally gave a clear response.

"Yes."

Afterwards, Geng Xuan felt that many experiences and insights of practicing "Channu Xuanshui Gong" emerged in his mind.

On the physical level, under the combined effects of the skin, flesh and blood all over the body, the blood that originally circulated in the blood vessels according to natural laws is under unprecedented pressure.

At the same time, the heart beats vigorously. With its support, the blood in the body fights tenaciously and even desperately against the pressure coming from all directions.

Geng Xuan was caught off guard and instantly felt overwhelmed with pressure, and felt a little dizzy.

If someone's physical fitness was a little worse, he would probably bleed from all seven orifices on the spot.

Fortunately, Geng Xuan's body had a strong adaptability, and he quickly coordinated his skin, flesh, and blood, making them put pressure on each other while being within the range that each could bear.
