The proof of Emperor Wu began with daily rewards for diligence.

At 9 p.m., Chen Jue saw Pei Qingying off, and the family's small group chat immediately became lively.

"Oh dear, this guy is really lame! Your uncle gave you a chance, but you were useless... You were given a chance, but you were useless!"

He Yuanshan was the first to speak out, strongly condemning Chen Jue's inaction.

"Alright, alright, at least I watched a sweet drama all night, so my girlish heart is satisfied."

"Young Master! You'll regret this! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of Madam He slamming her hand on the table.

"Cousin, are you even capable? Qingqing is such a good girl, how can you not make a move? Are you even a man?"

Chen Jue was speechless, and reached out to pinch the weakest link, saying, "He Tangtang, shut up! You're so young and already learning bad things, talking about this so confidently... Tell me! Are you dating someone at school?!"

"?!" He Yuanshan.

"!" Chen Yun.

"Brother! You're so mean! I just wanted to urge you to get married, and you actually want me dead!" He Tangtang immediately backed down and left the chat.

"Alright, stop talking about the young lady behind her back. It's not appropriate if it ruins her reputation."

Chen Jue typed a message to seal the conversation and returned to his study.

Before practicing his internal energy cultivation, he routinely took his second high-level Qi-boosting capsule of the day.

However, the response was lukewarm.

There was neither the warm sensation I felt when taking it in the morning, nor the slight feeling of warmth throughout my body.

He was surprised to flip through today's reward log and found that his Qi and blood value had climbed to 120% after digesting the spiritual food sent by Pei Qingying, and then suddenly jumped to 135 like a rocket.

When one's Qi and blood reach such a terrifying level, taking advanced Qi-boosting capsules will have its efficacy drastically reduced, from increasing Qi and blood by 0.4% per capsule to a mere 0.1%.

Chen Jue tried using his self-made Qi and Blood Pills again, but before these two bottles of Qi and Blood Pills could even exert their power, the original nearly 0.6% increase in Qi and Blood was forcibly compressed to only 0.2%.

"I had anticipated that the drug's effectiveness would wane, but I never expected this day to come so soon."

Chen Jue felt a pang of emotion, but was not disappointed.

He sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky.

From 11 PM to 1 AM the next day is the time when water-related spiritual energy is most active in the world. Activating the "Flowing Water Essence Gathering Method" during this time can slightly increase the speed of absorbing water-related spiritual energy.

However, perhaps due to the excessive increase in Qi and blood today, the number of River Chariots used to transport water-related spiritual Qi in the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, which is used to perform the "Flowing Water Essence Gathering Method," has increased sharply.

This causes a large number of Qi and blood vessels that cannot receive spiritual energy to circulate idly in the meridians, which in turn affects the efficiency of the normal Qi and blood vessels in transporting spiritual energy, and even leads to a situation where some meridians are "blocked".

Chen Jue was astonished. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he quickly transferred all the excess Qi and blood from the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian.

In this way, he can simultaneously activate the "Green Wood Life-Gathering Technique" to transfer a certain amount of wood-attribute spiritual energy from the outside world into the dantian furnace.

"I really am a martial arts genius with astonishing comprehension. My qi and blood are strong enough that I can even circulate multiple internal energy techniques within my body simultaneously..."

"Furthermore, if 135% of one's Qi and Blood is enough to allow two internal skills to be used simultaneously, then wouldn't it be possible to practice the Five Elements Cycle, just like practicing a single internal skill, once the Qi and Blood value exceeds 240%?!"

Chen Jue was slightly shocked by his own crazy idea, but then he was immediately proven wrong.

In the past, he only practiced one internal skill and used one meridian. Even if he practiced for 12 hours a day, he would not deplete his own qi and blood.

But now, with his two meridians flowing together, it's like two streams drawing blood from both ends. Plus, the red dot at the center of the furnace has an extremely high temperature, so it can directly refine any amount of spiritual energy that comes in.

This has caused Chen Jue to consume his qi and blood at an extremely rapid rate. In just two and a half hours, he has begun to show signs of qi and blood deficiency.

Chen Jue never expected that after achieving the Foundation Establishment stage in martial arts, there would be a day when his blood and qi could not keep up with his consumption.

Left with no other choice, he had to give up continuing to cultivate his internal energy and instead practice the Six Harmonies Saber Technique, determined not to waste a single moment.

The ripples of midnight arrived precisely on time.

[In the past day, you meditated for 10 hours, practiced the Six Harmonies Blade Technique 20 times, used the Remnant Sun Reversal Blood technique 5 times, refined pills once, took two high-grade Qi-boosting capsules and two self-made Qi-blood pills, and consumed one first-grade superior spiritual meal...]

[Today's evaluation: Rising at the crack of dawn, working diligently and striving for excellence, reward index 2 (3).]

[Reward Settlement]

[Gain an additional 20 hours of true qi gained from meditation (calculated based on the optimal state of 'dual channels'), True Qi Realm Level 1 (28%→38%)]

[Gained an additional four Qi-boosting capsules (+homemade Qi-blood pills), increasing Qi-blood value from 135.3% to 136.5%]

[Gained additional Qi and Blood from two Tier 1 Superior Spiritual Meals (with some reduction), Qi and Blood value (136.5% → 162.5%)]

[Gain an additional 40 experience points for using the Six Harmonies Blade Technique, increasing proficiency to (2320/10000)]

[Gain an additional 10 uses of the "Reversed Blood" skill, increasing the skill's perfection level to 7.5%.]

[Gain two additional Qi and Blood Pill refining experiences, increasing Basic Alchemy Proficiency to (30/10000).]

Even though Chen Jue was mentally prepared, seeing the seven spirit stones in his hand shatter one after another still made his heart pound with fear.

It is known that the "Reward for Diligence" talent requires one-tenth of a spirit stone to replicate a wisp of the Five Elements True Qi.

Therefore, it can be concluded that replicating two meals of Tier 1 superior spiritual food consumes a full six spirit stones!

Bathed in golden light, Chen Jue felt as if his entire body was about to burst from the continuously expanding qi and blood within him.

Fortunately, since he became aware of his own martial arts talent, he has become accustomed to this kind of numerical inflation.

He skillfully guided the flow of his vital energy into the dantian furnace, over and over again.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the blood-red light that originally only had a glimmer of spiritual energy gradually transformed into a fist-sized, crimson sphere of light under the continuous infusion of abundant qi and blood, constantly radiating astonishing light and heat.

"If one's vital energy and blood grow infinitely strong, a sun will surely grow within the furnace of vital energy and blood..."

Once his qi and blood had calmed down, Chen Jue looked inward at his dantian and gazed at the crimson ball of light suspended in the center of the furnace, falling into deep thought.

After a long while, he searched for answers online, still puzzled.

He found the answer he was looking for in a post titled "Ranking of Special Physiques".

With qi and blood far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists, and the ability to nurture a radiant "little sun" in the dantian furnace, it is a special constitution called "pure yang".

Among them, those with Qi and blood exceeding that of normal martial artists by 1.35 to 1.99 times are known as having a "Little Pure Yang" physique, ranking 36th on the list of top martial artists.

This level of powerful blood and qi will not affect a martial artist's normal cultivation of true qi; in fact, it will even give the martial artist an additional layer of "innate divine strength" buff, making them overwhelmingly powerful martial artists of the same realm who lack physical constitution.

When one's Qi and Blood reach two or three times that of an ordinary martial artist, they are respectively called "Pure Yang Body" and "Pure Yang Divine Body".

The former ranks 24th on the Earth Ranking and can cultivate true qi with thunder and fire attributes; while the latter ranks 12th on the Heaven Ranking and can only lift weights, following the path of pure body cultivation.

However, none of the three types of pure Yang bodies mentioned above are common. Netizens strongly suggest that those who possess them seek refuge with the government or powerful clans in exchange for careful cultivation by a major force.

Chen Jue forgot this suggestion as soon as he saw it.

Government officials and powerful clans are not benevolent men and women or charitable organizations. Every time they invest a single ingot in someone else, they are already planning to get a hundred ingots back someday.

Want to resist? Then ask them how sharp their swords really are.

"However, it looks like I've encountered a bug again."

"Before my Qi and Blood value reached 200%, I had already cultivated the Five Elements True Qi. Once my Qi and Blood value reached 200%, wouldn't that break the ironclad rule that a Pure Yang Body can only cultivate Thunder and Fire True Qi?"

Chen Jue reached out and touched the standard long sword on the bedside table.

At this moment, the brute force within him was about to burst forth, and it was impossible to tell what level it had reached.

The standard-issue longsword in his hand felt as light as a toothpick.
