Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

As dawn approached, at Changfeng Escort Agency.

Normally, Lu Cheng would return before midnight.

However, a lot happened last night.

By the time Lu Cheng returned to the escort agency, it was already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).

It was exactly the time when Zhuang Xing got up to practice his martial arts.

"Lu Cheng, wait a moment."

Hearing Zhuang Xing call his name again, Lu Cheng felt helpless.

Why does this guy only ever stare at me all day?

At this moment, Lu Cheng's body was not particularly tired; the key issue was that he had a lot to do in a little while.

Having the blood-activating powder in hand, the first thing to do is to use the medicine.

Afterwards, I need to go find Feng Zhan and the chubby guy to discuss what to do next.

With so many things to do, there's never enough time, let alone time to chat idly with Zhuang Xing.

Lu Cheng originally wanted to pretend he didn't hear and leave.

But Zhuang Xing ran straight up to Lu Cheng and lowered his voice, saying:

"I heard you took a job as a caretaker?"

Unable to avoid it, Lu Cheng had no choice but to nod.

He only mentioned going to the black market to buy medicine on the first day.

For the next two days, he made excuses, saying he was going to make money.

Guarding the warehouse, thirty coins a night.

No one was surprised by this.

After all, everyone in the escort agency knew that Lu Cheng was poor.

At this moment, Lu Cheng just wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible, so he casually said:

"What, you're interested? Shall I introduce you to them?"

Zhuang Xing:

"Uh...no need."

"..."

After an awkward three seconds, just as Lu Cheng was about to leave, Zhuang Xing suddenly pulled something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Cheng's hand.

"for you."

"What?" Lu Cheng looked at the oil paper package in his hand and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

Zhuang Xing turned around and said with his hands behind his back:

"Don't go back to the nursing job."

"what?"

Zhuang Xing sighed and said loudly:

"The path of martial arts is to contend with the heavens, fight against the earth, and seize from others. This path is destined to be extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness will result in annihilation."

"Of all these disciples, only you have the potential to rival me."

"Although I will defeat you no matter what, if you delay your cultivation because of money, I will feel that it is not a fair victory."

"This is a blood-activating powder. I don't want to be too lonely on my future path in martial arts."

Having said that, he looked up at the sky and softly recited:

"One day I will stand atop the clouds, looking down upon the vast and insignificant world below. To meet you on the way is a sign that fate has not yet turned cold."

"Lu Cheng, don't let me down."

"..."

Lu Cheng looked at the oil paper package in his hand with surprise, but felt extremely embarrassed after hearing Zhuang Xing's words.

Judging from Zhuang Xing's expression, he probably couldn't refuse him with just a few words.

I have a lot of things to do, I'll return the medicine to him when I have time.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhuang Xing and said:

"Then thank you very much for the medicine, Senior Brother Zhuang."

Senior Brother Zhuang...?!

He called me Senior Brother Zhuang.

Upon hearing Lu Cheng's words, Zhuang Xing, who was standing tall and proud, suddenly trembled.

My heart pounded in my chest.

If it weren't for the top of his head blocking him, he would probably have flown straight out of the sky.

That's why Zhuang Xing raised his head even higher.

But then Zhuang Xing felt a sudden sense of boredom.

Feeling a sense of loss, I thought:

"Alas, Lu Cheng was finally captivated by my charm. I hope he won't lose his ambition in martial arts because of this."

"If that's the case, then it's my fault."

Turning back, wanting to offer a few more words of advice, he saw that Lu Cheng had already walked to the plum blossom stakes where he usually practiced his skills.

It looks like they're planning to start practicing martial arts.

This made Zhuang Xing feel as if he had a lump in his throat, unable to expel it, which was quite uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, I decided to say a few words to Lu Cheng.

……

Lu Cheng stood on the open ground and took out a packet of blood-activating powder from his bundle.

Looking at it now, I realize why it seemed familiar.

Zhuang Xing used the exact same paper and packaging method to make the blood-activating powder for himself.

"..."

Isn't that a coincidence?

I left four sets for Lao Pi, and they were sold so quickly, not to mention that an acquaintance got one.

Lu Cheng looked at Zhuang Xing, not expecting that this guy would also go to the Black Market.

However, to be fair, they do have good taste.

The title "Senior Brother Zhuang" wasn't given in vain.

He shook his head, unpacked the package, and poured the whole thing into his mouth.

Zhuang Xing, who was about to walk over, saw this scene.

The heart, which had already settled back into the chest cavity, suddenly pushed back in.

He stood there frozen for two seconds, then silently turned back around.

There are many ways to use Huoxue San (活血散).

Medicated bath, topical application, or oral administration.

Most people choose medicinal baths.

This method is inconvenient and slow.

But it is the gentlest, its medicinal effects dissipate in the water, slowly acting on the body, making it comfortable and painless.

Applying the medicine topically is more efficient and effective.

However, it requires applying it to the body, which is quite troublesome.

Secondly, the effects of the drug can be irritating, which is generally not well tolerated by most people.

As for the last method of ingestion...

This method is the most convenient, efficient, and allows the medicine to exert its fullest effect.

But it's also the hardest to endure.

When Zhuang Xing first used the blood-activating powder, he tried applying a tiny amount, about the size of his fingertip, and ended up in pain all night.

After that, I only used the topical application method.

Seeing Lu Cheng swallow the whole bag without hesitation, my mind went completely blank.

Let's not go there.

Not only can't we go over there, we have to pretend we didn't see it.

……

The snowflake-like medicinal powder originally had a pleasant fragrance.

But once it enters the mouth, the fragrance immediately transforms into spiciness, rushing straight to the nasal cavity.

Lu Cheng gulped down two large mouthfuls of water to wash away the spiciness.

A surge of scalding heat immediately rushed down the throat and into the abdomen.

The entire chest and abdomen immediately felt like it was on fire, and the sensation quickly spread along the meridians to the limbs and internal organs.

It constantly stimulates the tendons, bones, internal organs, and muscles.

Lu Cheng quickly closed his eyes, focused his mind on his dantian, and assumed the Xuan Ying stance.

From static stance to dynamic stance, and then to breathing stance.

Lu Cheng practiced over and over again.

In no time, his whole body was soaked in sweat.

Even the ground was wet.

Stimulated by the medicinal power, the internal organs and bones that were originally as stubborn as a rock were all activated.

A surge of energy was reborn.

Gradually, the burning sensation weakened until it disappeared.

Lu Cheng let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, and the chubby boy and the others had all arrived at the square to practice their skills.

Seeing Lu Cheng's appearance and the oil paper at his feet, one can naturally guess what happened.

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Seeing Lu Cheng awaken from his stance training, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Lu Cheng took a breath and scanned his mind across his sea of ​​consciousness.

【The Twelve Forms of the Black Eagle Stance】

[Grade: Low-grade human grade]

[Realm Level: Minor Success (18/300)]

……

In half an hour, I gained a full seven points of proficiency!

The remarkable results far exceeded Lu Cheng's expectations.

They've already surpassed their initial learning pace!

Based on this situation, even if one only cultivates for two hours a day, it will not delay the progress.

If this situation can be maintained...

Lu Cheng will reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining within ten days!

In retrospect, Yun Huizi's claim that Du Ruo could enter the Qi Refining stage in three years was not an exaggeration.

The Qi Refining Realm has the Blood Activating Powder, while the Body Refining Realm has no fewer than four types of pills.

If the supply is opened up, the three-year refining process will actually be a relatively slow pace.

"I don't have the abundant resources that the Dongyang Sect has."

"You have to earn everything yourself."

"Therefore, neither the upcoming plans nor the competition planned by Shen Yi can afford to fail."

A dose of blood-activating powder takes half an hour to prepare. Although the cost is only five qian (approximately 15 grams), it amounts to two liang (approximately 60 grams) per day, calculated over two hours.

But this was just Lu Cheng's idea.

Once you enter the next stage, the medicine's effects will likely weaken.

We'll inevitably have to increase the dosage then.

Not to mention the later Body Refinement Realm.

These may be the only two opportunities available now; once missed, they may never come again.

No matter what, we must gather enough resources needed to reach the Body Refinement Realm in one fell swoop!

But all of this is predicated on strength!

Lu Cheng took out another dose of blood-activating powder from his bag.

He poured it into his mouth in front of the chubby boy and the others' astonished eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, took out another packet, and swallowed it without saying a word.

Half an hour to master it at 7 o'clock is simply not enough!

I, Lu Cheng, am not necessarily unable to refine my Qi in three years!

A surge of medicinal power, several times stronger than before, descended from the throat, like a red-hot iron rod thrusting into the dantian.

The veins on his exposed arms were visibly knotted, and it seemed as if the blood in his body was about to be burned.

Lu Cheng groaned, veins bulging on his forehead, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Cheng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his disordered breathing, and practiced the stance training with trembling hands.

While practicing stance training, breathe forcefully, one breath at a time.

When you inhale, the medicinal power flows into your lungs along with your breath.

When you exhale, the stagnation between your internal organs eases a little.

Over and over again.

Sweat evaporated into hot steam that rose from Lu Cheng's body, soaring into the sky like smoke.
