"Chief Zhao, did Senior Qiao successfully pass the challenge?"

When Lu Chen was on duty in the morning, he asked Zhao Yiting a question.

Several days have passed since Qiao Yuan went into seclusion.

No news came.

Zhao Yiting did not answer Lu Chen, "Just take good care of the hospital, don't ask about anything else."

Lu Chen gleaned the answer from Zhao Yiting's reaction.

Clearly, Qiao Yuan failed.

Otherwise, such a joyous occasion would not have been so peaceful for the Wang family.

Peak of Blood Removal.

That was a force powerful enough to change the landscape of Chixia County.

Once Qiao Yuan reaches the peak of Blood Transformation, the Wang family will inevitably stir up trouble and reclaim everything they have lost.

But now, there's no sign of anything happening at the yam market.

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze, his fingers slowly clenching.

Even a martial artist like Qiao Yuan, who had reached the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, failed to break through the barrier despite having the Gu Yuan Pill as an aid.

As you progress through the martial arts path, it becomes increasingly difficult.

On his way to the alchemy room to change shifts, Lu Chen ran into Liu Heng.

"I never expected that I would be on duty with him today."

Lu Chen felt rather helpless.

He ignored it and walked straight ahead.

Liu Heng, however, stepped to the side and blocked the way.

"Kid."

Lu Chen looked up at him: "What's up?"

Liu Heng gave a cold laugh: "Would you dare to have a duel?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly: "A contest?"

Liu Heng took out a money pouch from his pocket, weighed it in his palm, and the silver clinked together with a dull sound.

"I'll offer twenty taels."

As he spoke, he opened the money bag, revealing the gleaming silver inside.

"Let's have a fight. If you win, all twenty taels are yours."

"I won, all I got was one of your arms."

Lu Chen looked at Liu Heng and rolled his eyes.

Twenty taels of silver, and you want to gamble away your arm?

You think you're worthy?

He didn't voice his true feelings, only saying calmly, "Not interested."

After saying that, Lu Chen walked past Liu Heng and continued towards the alchemy room.

Liu Heng's face immediately turned ugly.

Twenty taels of silver is no small sum for a martial artist at the initial stage of the Blood Transformation Realm; it is equivalent to half a year's salary for Liu Heng.

He originally thought that Lu Chen would be tempted by the price of twenty taels.

But Lu Chen didn't even glance at him.

This disregard infuriated Liu Heng even more.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Heng caught up, his voice suddenly rising, "Are you going to be a coward?"

"Are all the people from Hidden Dragon Martial Arts School born in the year of the tortoise?!"

Lu Chen kept walking, he had no intention of starting another conflict with Liu Heng.

The less trouble, the better.

Seeing that Lu Chen was ignoring him, Liu Heng's anger burned even more fiercely.

"Lu Chen, you're being shameless."

"Hmph, one day I'll make you kneel down and polish my shoes!"

evening.

After finishing his shift, Lu Chen did not linger in the alchemy room and went straight back to his residence.

At the bottom of the wooden box, Lu Chen took out a small porcelain bottle.

This is the blood-nourishing powder that Wang Ji supplied to him this month.

The dark red pills lay quietly in the bottle, emitting a spicy and heavy medicinal aroma.

Lu Chen looked at it with a calm gaze.

Master Ge Ye once said that ordinary martial artists at the initial stage of Blood Transformation should ideally take one Blood Qi Powder every ten days. However, last time he only took seven days to completely refine the medicinal power of the pill and even nurture a new wisp of blood qi.

Now, his Panlong Zhuang Gong (a type of martial art) is nearing completion.

This is a good opportunity to accelerate my cultivation.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen tilted his head back and swallowed the blood qi powder.

When the pill went down my throat, it initially had only a slightly bitter taste.

But once it enters the stomach, it explodes like a ball of fire within moments.

boom!

The potent medicinal power surged through the body instantly.

My chest and abdomen felt hot, my muscles were tense, and even my skin turned red as if it had been doused with hot water.

This medicine is far more potent than a medicinal bath.

The medicinal bath is like warm water slowly seeping into the body, while the Blood and Qi Dispersant is like a wild horse, charging and rampaging as soon as it enters the body.

Lu Chen felt the two strands of blood and qi in his chest suddenly startled, and he became somewhat agitated.

He dared not delay and pushed open the door to the training ground outside.

A night breeze blew, but the heat on my body only intensified.

Lu Chen stood with his feet apart, toes gripping the ground, knees and hips slightly lowered, waist and back slowly rotating, his spine rising and falling rhythmically, like a dragon coiling around its body.

As soon as he assumed the stance, his aura immediately subsided.

The chaotic effects of the medicine within my body felt like I had suddenly stumbled into an invisible net.

As he inhaled, Lu Chen gradually withdrew the medicinal effects into his chest and abdomen.

As you exhale, guide the heat to slowly spread along your muscles.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Guided by the standing meditation, the medicinal power permeates the limbs and bones, nourishing the muscles and bones while also strengthening the body's Qi and blood.

Sweat quickly broke out on Lu Chen's body.

Sweat dripped down his cheeks, landing on the blue bricks and breaking into tiny watermarks.

I don't know how much time passed.

Lu Chen's body suddenly trembled slightly.

It wasn't an external vibration, but a tremor emanating from deep within the flesh and blood.

At first, it was just a slight tremor in my shoulders and back.

Immediately afterwards, my chest, abdomen, waist, hips, legs, and arms all began to vibrate subtly, as if drawn by an invisible force.

Lu Chen felt all the muscles in his body tighten and relax at the same time.

That feeling was extremely strange.

It was as if an invisible hand was reaching out from deep within his body, reshaping all his muscles.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling that was both extremely familiar and strangely unfamiliar welled up from deep within my body.

Before his eyes appeared countless images of himself practicing the Panlong Zhuang Gong (a martial arts technique).

Scene after scene, frame after frame, magnified continuously in the depths of Lu Chen's pupils.

Until the trembling of his muscles stopped, the scene before his eyes was completely flooded into his mind.

Subsequently, like a dragon transforming into a dragon, Lu Chen's body underwent a complete metamorphosis.

A transparent light screen then appeared before my eyes:

[Panlong Stance Exercise: Mastery]

[Progress: 0/1000]

Lu Chen's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Mastery of stance training!"

He lowered his head, looked at his body, and carefully felt every change within him.

Moonlight fell on his arms.

The muscles in his arms looked as if they had been sculpted by a craftsman, with clear, understated lines. They weren't bulky or muscular, but rather firm, fluid, and resilient.

With a slight movement of the forearm, the muscles undulate like a dragon swimming in water.

The soreness and stiffness in my shoulders and back from practicing boxing had completely disappeared. My shoulders were steady, my back was relaxed, and my entire spine was like a drawn bow, slightly gathering strength.

His physique seemed to have been reshaped, becoming as agile as a dragon.

Lu Chen clenched his fist, and his blood and qi quickly gathered in his palm along his meridians.

He could feel that the transmission of his body's power had become smoother.

As soon as he has a thought, his feet, waist, back, shoulders, and arms naturally align in a straight line.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up with even more joy.

After mastering the stance training, the effect on body shaping is particularly noticeable.

Now his body is like a piece of iron that has been repeatedly forged, with impurities being knocked out little by little, and its outline gradually taking shape.

Stance training is not a martial art for killing, but it is the foundation of a martial artist.

No matter how strong your boxing skills are, without proper stance training, they're just empty show.

Moreover, after mastering the stance training, Lu Chen's efficiency in circulating qi and blood increased again.

In the future, whether it's meat, medicinal baths, or blood-nourishing powder, it will be able to be transformed into qi and blood more quickly.
