From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

In just a short while, a surge of vital energy was generated within his body.

Chen Xun quickly circulated his breathing technique, refining a wisp of qi and blood from this mass of qi and blood to strengthen his right arm.

Shortly afterward, another burst of energy was born.

The interval between the two events was no more than five minutes, which was much faster than Chen Xun's speed in condensing his qi and blood power.

"What an amazing boiling blood soup."

"If I could have a bowl of this boiling blood soup every day, I'm afraid I'd reach the peak of the Bullskin Realm very soon."

Chen Xun was filled with emotion.

It was at this moment that Chen Hu spoke up and asked, "Chen Xun, can you feel the power of qi and blood being generated within your body?"

Clearly, Chen Hu asked the question at the exact moment.

In his estimation, Chen Xun's [Bull Demon Stance Technique] had reached a proficient level, and around this time, he would be able to condense a ball of blood and qi.

What he didn't know was that Chen Xun's [Bull Demon Stance Skill] had reached the minor completion stage.

Chen Xun sensed it five minutes ago and had already used it to strengthen his body.

"Yes, I felt it."

Chen Xun didn't show off; he simply nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, then refine that ball of energy into true energy to strengthen your hand."

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun understood what kind of test Chen Hu was conducting.

it's actually really easy.

When Qi and blood strengthen the body, a blush will appear on the skin surface of the strengthened area.

This is a manifestation of the strengthening of the skin and flesh by Qi and blood.

Chen Xun had already observed this phenomenon during his daily cultivation.

Subsequently, Chen Xun quickly refined a wisp of blood and qi, circulated it to his left palm, and began to strengthen the skin and flesh in that area.

Chen Hu kept his eyes fixed on Chen Xun's right palm.

It wasn't until a noticeable reddish tinge appeared on the surface of Chen Xun's left palm that he shifted his attention to his left palm.

"As expected, he has already condensed his Qi and blood."

This scene brought a look of delight to Chen Hu's face.

"But why did you strengthen your left hand first?"

Then Chen Hu asked with some doubt.

Chen Xun made up a random excuse to brush it off.

Chen Hu didn't delve into the matter. What he didn't know was that the reason Chen Xun didn't strengthen his right hand was because he had already completed the strengthening of his right hand.

If he knew, he probably wouldn't be happy, but rather surprised and suspicious.

"Chen Xun, continue your cultivation until you've used up all the medicinal power in your body, then I'll take you to register your martial artist status."

"Yes, Lord Chen Hu."

"Why call me 'sir' anymore? You're a martial artist now, so just call me Chen Hu, or Brother Hu."

"Okay, Tiger."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu nodded in satisfaction.

Then he drank the rest of the boiling blood soup in one gulp.

Instantly, his exposed skin turned bright red.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hu took off his shirt and began to perform the "Bull Demon Mighty Fist".

The wind howled from the punch, and white smoke billowed from Chen Hu's head, which was quite magical.

After watching Chen Hu practice his boxing for a while, Chen Xun focused on his own stance training.

Every minute, the standing meditation experience will increase by one.

Each time a burst of vital energy is condensed, the experience gained from stance training will increase dramatically.

Even a minor level of stance training requires 50 points of stance training experience to advance even a small portion of the progress.

To reach the highest level of mastery, even with arduous practice, it takes a considerable amount of time.

"If you can drink boiling blood soup every day, you'll probably master the stance training in just a few days."

Chen Xun couldn't help but think to himself.

Of course, Chen Xun only dared to think about it.

This boiling blood soup looks expensive, and Chen Xun clearly cannot afford it.

After cultivating for half an hour and condensing a total of 10 strands of blood energy, Chen Xun finally finished refining the medicinal power.

These 10 strands of blood energy not only greatly increased Chen Xun's progress in strengthening his right arm, but also increased the progress of the [Bull Demon Stance Skill] by nearly 2%.

The [Bull Demon Breathing Technique] further increased the progress by 5%.

The harvest was quite substantial.

"I didn't feel hungry at all!"

Chen Xun touched his stomach, somewhat surprised.

Based on past experience, if you condense 10 strands of qi and blood at once, your stomach will be growling loudly.

"It's the effect of that boiling blood soup."

Chen Xun immediately guessed the reason, and his desire for the Boiling Blood Soup intensified.

So, after Chen Hu finished his cultivation, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Hu, how much is a serving of that Boiling Blood Soup?"

"What, you've tasted the benefits of this Boiling Blood Soup? Want to buy some to take back and cultivate?"

Chen Xun nodded quickly.

Then he saw a playful smile appear on Chen Hu's face.

"Let me tell you the price first," Chen Hu said, holding up two fingers.

"Two taels of silver per serving?"

Chen Xun tentatively asked.

"Two taels of silver? You think you can give money to a beggar? It's twenty taels a share."

Chen Hu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu couldn't help but gasp.

"So expensive?"

"Of course, this is the best medicinal soup for Qi and Blood Realm cultivators. One dose can sustain a Iron Skin Realm warrior like me for ten days of full-force cultivation."

"If I have enough Boiling Blood Soup, I am confident that I can break through to the Bone Forging Realm within a year."

Chen Hu sighed.

Chen Hu continued, "Did you know that besides money, you also need qualifications to buy this Boiling Blood Soup?"

"Boiling Blood Soup, or rather Boiling Blood Powder, is not something that our Chenjia Village can produce. We can only buy it from Ping'an Town nearby."

"This Boiling Blood Powder is controlled by the Medicine Gang. Each month, our Chen Family Village is only entitled to purchase ten doses of Boiling Blood Powder."

"But in our Chen Family Village, there are far more than ten martial artists who need the Boiling Blood Powder."

Chen Hu suddenly changed the subject, asking Chen Xun, "Do you know why Chen Ye and I don't get along?"

Chen Xun shook his head, and Chen Hu said, "It's because of the competition for the share of Boiling Blood Powder."

"Even the main conflict between our guard team and patrol team is over the competition for various cultivation resources."

"If there are enough resources, and everyone is from the same village and related by blood, how could there be any major conflicts?"

At this point, Chen Hu's tone carried a hint of regret.

"Forget it, why bother telling you all this?"

Chen Hu shook his head. "Let's go, I'll take you to register your martial arts identity."

Led by Chen Hu, Chen Xun arrived at a building called the Martial Arts Room.

The Martial Arts Room is where Chen Family Fort manages all martial artists and where they purchase various martial arts resources.

Before Chen Xun and his companion arrived, there were already quite a few martial artists in the martial arts room.

The military quarters are large and divided into three areas.

In one area, there was a large medicine cabinet and a counter, where a middle-aged man who looked like a doctor and two young apprentices were busy working.

"This is the medicine section, and that's Pharmacist Luo. He's highly skilled and can even concoct two kinds of medicines: Blood-Activating Powder and Blood-Replenishing Powder. He's a highly respected figure. When you deal with him in the future, you must be respectful."

Chen Hu introduced Chen Xun.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun quickly nodded, "Understood."

The other two areas are the management area and the task area.

The management area is responsible for registering martial artists' identities and calculating their contributions.

The higher your contribution, the more resources you will be allocated each month.

Of course, this contribution is not very useful for ordinary martial artists, because they can buy the resources they need as long as they have enough silver, and do not need to use contributions.

It is only of great use to powerful martial artists like Chen Hu.

The mission area is where missions are issued, usually involving going into the mountains to find rare medicinal herbs or hunting powerful wild beasts.

You will be rewarded with silver coins for completing the task.

Chen Hu's arrival prompted many martial artists to greet him.

Some were guards, others were patrols.

Unless there is a direct conflict of interest, no martial artist would be willing to offend Chen Hu.

After all, he himself was an Iron Skin Realm martial artist, and he also had an older brother who was a Bone Forging Realm martial artist.

Because of Chen Hu, Chen Xun also gained a wave of attention.

However, very few people know him at present.

"Uncle Wenjing, this is a martial artist I trained, named Chen Xun."

"I brought him here today to register his martial arts status."

"Management area," Chen Hu said to a middle-aged man.

"Little Tiger, that's great!"

Chen Wenjing smiled.

Next, they began to help Chen Xun with the registration process.

When he learned that Chen Xun was only fourteen years old and had become a martial artist in just half a month, his face showed shock.

"Little Tiger, is he really a martial artist?"

"Of course, Uncle Wenjing, would I dare to lie about this?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this situation is really rare, and I have to confirm it."

Finally, Chen Xun successfully registered as a martial artist and joined the guard team, becoming one of its members.

After becoming a member of the guard team, Chen Xun received a monthly salary of three taels of silver, with additional subsidies if he went on a mission.

In addition, there is a packet of blood-activating powder as a benefit every month.

Blood-Activating Powder is a medicinal powder that can increase a martial artist's blood and qi, and accelerate their cultivation.

To purchase it, one needs to be a martial artist and have one or two taels of silver.

At the same time, Chen Xun also had the right to rent or buy a house in Chenjiabao.

Afterwards, Chen Xun bid farewell to Chen Hu and returned home.

As soon as he got home, he began taking blood-activating powder to cultivate.
