Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

"How could the Lin Family Martial Arts School be so shameless!"

"Three days! Pressuring them so hard! They're clearly afraid that if too much time passes, Lu Cheng's strength will improve, and they won't be able to defeat him!"

Inside the house of Lu Cheng and others at Changfeng Escort Agency.

It wasn't just Liu Chang'an and the other two.

The Hu brothers also kept cursing the Lin family martial arts school.

Along with the news that the Lin family martial arts school refused to pay compensation, a challenge to Lu Cheng also arrived.

A scarlet cover with large, gold-embossed lettering.

The four characters of "Lin Family Martial Arts School" at the end were even painted with gold powder.

However, the content written in this grand calligraphy scroll is utterly ridiculous.

The content roughly states that, for the time being, Zhou Yunxiang's character will not be discussed.

However, what he learned was the martial arts style of the Lin family school.

Lu Cheng defeated Zhou Yunxiang, who was in the middle stage of the Qi Refining stage, with the strength of the early stage of Qi Refining. To outsiders, it seemed that the Lin Family Martial Arts School's techniques were inferior to those of the Changfeng Escort Agency.

Therefore, in order to legitimize their own martial arts techniques.

The Lin family will send a disciple who entered the sect at the same time as Zhou Yunxiang.

Three days later, he visited Changfeng Escort Agency to seek their advice!

We only care about winning or losing, not about life or death!

Overbearing and arrogant!

It's utterly ridiculous.

When problems arise with the disciples of the Lin Family Martial Arts School, they try every means to shirk responsibility.

However, fearing that his skills would be questioned, he couldn't wait to defeat Lu Cheng.

They dare not give Lu Cheng any chance to grow.

Where is even a trace of the demeanor of a top-tier power?

"Lu Cheng, don't fall for it!" Hu Er frowned at Lu Cheng and pointed to the name on the challenge letter:

"I've heard of this Yang Xiong; he's no ordinary person."

"He is a truly outstanding talent."

"Upon entering the school, he was accepted as an inner disciple by the master of the Lin Family Martial Arts School."

"It only took half a year to reach the middle stage of Qi Refining. Now that so much time has passed, even if it hasn't reached the later stage, it should be close."

"More importantly, this person, having just broken through to the mid-stage, challenged all the mid-stage Qi Refining martial artists from Cuiyun Temple, Tianquan Temple, and the Chen family, and remained undefeated in nearly twenty matches!"

"That powerful?" Lu Cheng asked in surprise.

Hu Er nodded firmly:

"Absolutely true!"

"Moreover, the challenge states 'regardless of life or death,' which clearly indicates that they are after our lives."

Lu Cheng pursed his lips and nodded to Hu Er.

"In that case, the duel is accepted."

"Huh?" Everyone thought they had misheard, but Lu Cheng had already peeled off the pink paper on the challenge letter and pressed it down.

This is convenient; it comes with the book, so you don't need to find a pen or inkpad. However, the color isn't quite right, and the print isn't very clear.

"Lu Cheng, what are you doing..." Liu Wan'er tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Lu Cheng smiled:

"Anyway, the competition is in less than three months. The opponent I'll face then will be even more difficult than Yang Xiong. What difference does it make if it happens sooner or later?"

"Besides, the Lin family martial arts school even offered a prize, didn't they?"

The prize offered by the Lin Family Martial Arts School for this competition is fifty doses of Blood-Activating Powder.

Lu Cheng was furious that several days had been wasted.

Take these fifty doses of the Blood-Activating Powder to relieve the internal heat!

The duel was over, and the outcome was already decided; all that remained for everyone was worry.

Lu Cheng, however, was not worried at all.

Even if the fight started now, not to mention there are still three days left, Lu Cheng has nothing to fear.

How boring is it for someone who is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining to claim invincibility among those in the same realm?

Lu Cheng casually tucked the challenge letter into his pocket and walked towards the door.

I took the opportunity to buy some blood-activating powder while delivering the challenge letter.

Including the five taels Liu Xun gave him, he now has fourteen taels and seven mace of silver.

If you haggle, you might be able to buy five pairs.

……

The next morning, at Changfeng Escort Agency.

As usual, Lu Cheng practiced the Seven Strikes of the Black Eagle in Feng Zhanyuan.

Feng Zhan didn't care about the fight at the Lin Family Martial Arts School.

He shared the same thought as Lu Cheng: if they couldn't even get past Yang Xiong, then there was no need to wait for the competition between the remaining seventeen families.

After practicing the Seven Strikes of the Black Eagle, Lu Cheng carried the Blood-Activating Powder he had bought the day before to the courtyard.

As I walked toward the plum blossom stakes, I heard Zhuang Xing's voice behind me.

"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?

When he clashed with Chen Qing, Zhuang Xing spoke up for him.

Therefore, Lu Cheng couldn't completely ignore him.

"I heard you went to work as a guard a few days ago?"

Zhuang Xing walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

Lu Cheng did not tell his other disciples about the events that occurred while he was cultivating his internal energy and escorting the medicinal herbs.

Therefore, Zhuang Xing was unaware of these things.

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

"What, you're interested too? If so, I can introduce you to someone."

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 paper package in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

Why does this look like a blood-activating powder?

Before it was even opened, Zhuang Xing turned around, his hands behind his back:

"Don't go for those kinds of guard jobs."

"Huh?" Lu Cheng was a little confused.

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, I've found the knack for it, so 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'm eager to try out the effects of the blood-activating powder, so 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 in the open space, shook his head, and tried not to think about Zhuang Xing.

I opened the packaging and poured the whole thing into my 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.

Zhuang Xingxu had not yet cultivated any internal strength, and in his impatience, he disregarded whether it would be a waste and began using the Blood-Activating Powder.

The first time I used it, I tried applying just a tiny bit, about the size of my fingertip, and it hurt for a whole night.

Later, it was changed to a medicinal bath.

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, he was soaked in sweat, even his feet were 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.

After an unknown amount of time, as Lu Cheng continued practicing the standing meditation, the burning sensation inside and outside his body gradually weakened until it disappeared.

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

He took a deep breath and his consciousness swept across his mind.
