From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Why?

Chen Xun looked at Chen Hu with a puzzled expression.

"Why would the Medicine Gang make such a request? I don't think I've had much contact with anyone from the Medicine Gang, so how did they know about me?"

Chen Xun raised a series of questions.

Chen Hu patiently explained, "Last time, when we were transporting medicinal herbs to the Medicine Gang, didn't you use your bow and arrow to kill quite a few Black Wind Bandits?"

Chen Xun nodded.

"Actually, at that time, the Medicine Gang had people following our group to prevent the Blood Hand Gang from intercepting us and stealing the medicinal herbs."

"However, since we almost wiped out that group of Black Wind Bandits, they didn't show themselves."

"Your excellent archery skills are highly admired by them, which is why your name is on this list."

After saying that, Chen Hu looked at Chen Xun and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Chen Xun did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.

In his heart, he didn't want to get too involved in fighting and killing.

He preferred to cultivate quietly by himself, enjoying the feeling of gradually becoming stronger.

But he also knew that as a martial artist, if he wanted to improve, he had to strive for more resources.

How do you fight for it? Naturally, you do it with your fists.

He is now at the peak of the Stone Skin Realm, and only a thin layer of paper remains between him and breaking through to the Iron Skin Realm.

With diligent practice, you'll be able to break through this barrier soon.

At that time, Chen Xun will have to consider how to obtain the Boiling Blood Powder.

Boiling Blood Powder is not sold in Chenjia Village.

If Chen Xun wants a share of the pie, he must reveal his cultivation level.

Even if he did that, the amount of Boiling Blood Powder he could receive each month would still be limited.

It's very likely that there will only be one or two packs a month.

However, his ability to digest medicinal powders far exceeds that of ordinary people, and one or two packets of Boiling Blood Powder are not enough for him.

"Perhaps joining the medicine gang is an opportunity."

With that thought in mind, Chen Xun no longer hesitated and looked at Chen Hu, saying, "I agree."

"Okay, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu nodded and patted Chen Xun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll take care of you when we get to the Medicine Gang."

"Um?"

Chen Xun looked at Chen Hu in surprise: "Brother Hu, are you going to the Medicine Gang too?"

"Of course, although going to the Medicine Gang at this time is dangerous, as we would have to fight the Blood Hand Gang, it is also an opportunity."

Chen Hu explained, "The Medicine Gang promised that as long as we join the Medicine Gang, we can buy three doses of Boiling Blood Powder from them every month. If we make contributions, we can also get more cultivation resources."

"In Chenjiabao, I only have one dose of Boiling Blood Powder per month, and sometimes I don't even have that."

"Although I bought dozens of doses of Boiling Blood Powder from the medicine shop last time, I only got five doses."

Five portions are not a small amount, but they're only enough for me for two months.

"After two months, we will resume the routine of one packet of Boiling Blood Powder per month."

"One packet of Boiling Blood Powder can only meet my needs for ten days. For the remaining twenty days, I can only barely use Blood-Nourishing Powder."

"The quality of blood and qi provided by Boiling Blood Powder and Blood-Nourishing Powder differs greatly."

"Using blood-replenishing powder for a long time during cultivation will slow down my cultivation progress."

"If I want to break through to the Bone Forging Realm, I have to take some risks."

Chen Hu said with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with ambition.

Afterwards, the two agreed to set off three days later.

After Chen Hu left, Chen Xun began making blood-replenishing medicinal soup and continued his cultivation.

"I have three days left. I need to successfully break through to the Iron Skin Realm within these three days."

Chen Xun set a goal for himself.

So, for the next three days, Chen Xun practiced the [Bull Demon Mighty Fist] day and night.

With his current physical strength and energy, he can persist in cultivating for ten hours every day.

Under such intense training, Chen Xun's progress in boxing skills increased dramatically.

The speed of Qi and blood transformation is gradually approaching the critical value of the second transformation.

On this day, there were only ten hours left until the time of departure.

Chen Xun, who was practicing boxing, suddenly shuddered, and then his blood and qi began to boil.

The previously scattered qi and blood began to solidify.

This is the Qi and blood within Chen Xun's body undergoing a second transformation.

After quite some time, the surging blood and qi in Chen Xun's body gradually stabilized.

"A breakthrough has been achieved."

Chen Xun felt invigorated as he experienced the purer and more refined blood and qi within his body.

Now, he is also a martial artist at the Iron Skin Realm.

"If Tiger knew that I'm at the same level as him now, I wonder how he would react."

Chen Xun could imagine the shocked look on Chen Hu's face.

Young people often want to show off when they achieve something.

Chen Xun seemed to be influenced by this body as well, and after achieving such success, he had an urge to show off to someone.

Fortunately, this body ultimately houses a mature soul in their thirties.

Therefore, Chen Xun quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Then, he began to examine the "Martial Arts Diligence Record".

[Owner: Chen Xun]

[Realm: Qi and Blood Realm (Iron Skin 0%)]

Martial Arts: Archery (Mastery 25%), Bull Demon Stance (Limit Breaking Trait: Strength of a Bull), Bull Demon Breathing Technique (Perfect 58%), Bull Demon Mighty Fist (Minor Mastery 88%), Dragon Elephant Stance - Giant Elephant (Beginner 22%)

Compared to when Chen Xun first transmigrated, the "Martial Arts Diligence Record" was almost blank, but now it is much richer in content.

In terms of archery, Chen Xun only practices occasionally, so his progress is very slow.

In terms of boxing techniques, if given some more time, Chen Xun is confident that he can break through to the highest level.

As for the Dragon Elephant Stance Technique, Chen Xun rarely spent time on it, so it was still in the beginner stage.

However, Chen Xun's [Bull Demon Stance Skill] has now exceeded its limit, and no matter how much he cultivates it, he will not be able to gain experience points.

Therefore, Chen Xun plans to spend more time on improving the giant elephant stake in the future.

This will undoubtedly slow down Chen Xun's cultivation speed.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

It's better now that my cultivation level is low, but as my cultivation level increases, the effect of the [Bull Demon Stance Technique] in condensing qi and blood will become less and less effective.

Chen Xun must plan ahead.

After contemplating his future cultivation focus, Chen Xun rested for a while to calm his excitement after the breakthrough.

After adjusting his state, Chen Xun resumed his cultivation.

He quickly made a bowl of blood-nourishing soup.

Drink it down in one gulp and wait for the medicine to take effect.

Then, Chen Xun's expression changed.

"What happened?"

A look of surprise and doubt appeared on Chen Xun's face.

Previously, after taking the blood-nourishing medicinal soup, Chen Xun felt a surge of heat throughout his body, with a continuous flow of heat coursing through his entire being.

However, after taking the blood-tonifying soup this time, I only felt a slight warmth in my body.

The heat, which he perceived as flowing like a stream, had shrunk to the size of a ditch.

When he started cultivating, he found that the power of qi and blood he condensed was smaller than usual.

The condensed qi and blood is only a tiny wisp.

It was completely absorbed in less than a second after it was circulated to my right palm.

The blood-replenishing medicinal soup, which was originally meant to last an hour, was completely absorbed by Chen Xun in less than half an hour.

Left with no other choice, Chen Xun made another bowl of blood-nourishing soup, this time using double the amount.

The double dose of blood-tonifying soup finally lasted for an hour.

In this way, one dose of blood-replenishing powder is only enough for Chen Xun for half a day.

"I wonder how effective the Boiling Blood Powder will be."

Chen Xun was somewhat expectant.

Today, Chen Xun cultivated until late at night again before washing his body and going to bed.

Before going to sleep, he glanced at his cultivation progress.

Qi and Blood Realm (Iron Skin 4%)

It's equivalent to a packet of blood-replenishing powder, which can advance the progress by 2%.

Chen Xun's absorption efficiency of the blood-nourishing powder is extremely high, which is why it has such an effect.

If it were any other Iron Skin Realm warrior, they probably wouldn't even make 1% progress, and it would take several days.

Nobody can digest two packets of blood-nourishing powder in a day like Chen Xun.

"If the effects of the Boiling Blood Powder are not enough to allow me to advance my progress by 5% per day."

"Perhaps, using the blood-tonifying powder would be more cost-effective for me."

Chen Xun thought to himself before going to sleep.
