Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

early morning.

yard.

Jiang Chuan stood in the courtyard, striking a strange pose.

Legs slightly bent, as if sitting but not sitting.

Cross your arms in front of your chest, palms down, fingertips facing each other, and hold them three inches above your lower abdomen.

His back was taut like a bow, but his head felt as if it were being gently lifted by a thread.

This posture looks awkward.

After assuming this specific posture, Jiang Chuan suddenly began to inhale.

In an instant, his face turned bright red!

There is no other reason.

In this position, the air he inhaled felt like knives, piercing his body and causing pain to his internal organs!

"hiss……!"

Jiang Chuan was so pained that he began to question the meaning of life.

He couldn't hold his breath, the stance was broken, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

He clutched his chest and took a while to catch his breath before pulling out the book "Nine Breaths Breathing Technique" from his pocket.

After repeated confirmation, it was finally determined that this was a normal phenomenon in the practice of the technique.

It wasn't because he took the wrong step.

This "Nine Breaths Breathing Technique" is a special kind of standing meditation.

And the strange pose he struck.

It is named: Huiyuan Stake.

By using the Returning Origin Stance in conjunction with the unique breathing method of this exercise, one can mobilize Qi and blood and strengthen the meridians.

However, at the same time, it will also cause cultivators to suffer pain as if they were being torn apart by a thousand knives.

Moreover, the pain intensifies with each repeated exhale.

If you can maintain this posture, you can complete nine breaths in one go.

This means that the practice of this method has been completed.

Jiang Chuan wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

He thought to himself, "This is not practicing martial arts at all."

This is clearly torture!

Despite thinking this, he still stood up again and carefully reviewed the contents of the technique in his mind.

Then, he continued his cultivation.

Fall down.

Get up.

The cycle repeats itself again and again.

Jiang Chuan wasn't suffering from unbearable pain; rather, it was his first time encountering this kind of peculiar stance training.

With no one to guide you, you can only rely on your own understanding to figure things out little by little.

He already knew his own aptitude for martial arts...

Not to mention.

Three whole days.

Jiang Chuan was trying his best to find the key to breathing techniques in the "Nine Breaths Breathing Technique".

Until the morning of that day.

The morning sun is just rising.

Auspicious purple clouds are coming from the east.

He assumed the posture of returning to the origin as usual, and suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, he took a deep breath at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept through the courtyard, causing the clothes racks to tilt and sway precariously.

And it was in that very instant.

at last.

Jiang Chuan endured the excruciating pain and successfully completed a breath attack!

"call……!"

He exhaled a heavy breath.

Jiang Chuan was immediately shaken.

His skin instantly turned red, like a boiled crab, with fine beads of blood seeping from his pores.

But at the same time.

An incredibly pleasant feeling washed over my entire body.

He only felt the vigorous blood and energy in his body that had already reached its limit.

At this moment, it seemed as if they had finally found an outlet.

Suddenly.

It surged towards the meridians that permeated the limbs and bones.

Click!

A cracking sound emanated from within, as if an invisible bottleneck had been instantly broken through.

Then, the panel appeared in front of Jiang Chuan.

[Qi and Blood: 8.6 (11)]

……

The two numbers represent different meanings.

The former refers to the current Qi and blood.

The latter refers to the upper limit of Qi and Blood!

Although his Qi and Blood level dropped from 10.0 to 8.6, his overall strength increased.

This is precisely because the effect of this technique is to consume one's current vital energy.

Permanently increase maximum health and mana!

The body's energy and blood can be easily restored.

A martial artist only needs to eat his fill, drink his fill, and rest well.

It will naturally return to its peak condition.

However, the upper limit of Qi and Blood is not so easy to increase.

Even if it's just an increase of 0.1.

It also requires years of diligent practice.

Especially him.

Before practicing this technique, Jiang Chuan had already reached the conventional level of blood nourishment perfection.

Now, another breakthrough has been achieved.

He had clearly entered the second stage of blood nourishment!

Once he has mastered this technique, what level of strength will he reach?

Jiang Chuan is very much looking forward to this.

Take a moment to adjust your breathing.

Jiang Chuan went to the water vat in the corner of the yard, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and washed away the bloodstains all over his body.

The cool water poured on my body created wisps of white steam.

Just then.

Liu Yue'e pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Liu Yue'e blushed.

I was getting a little distracted.

not long ago.

Jiang Chuan still looked like a lean, scholarly man.

But things are very different now.

Its head alone has grown to nearly 1.9 meters tall.

His muscles are well-proportioned.

Ape-like arms and wasp-like waist.

She exudes a classical beauty.

...In fact, Liu Yue'e knew very well.

Jiang Chuan was in that coma after that incident.

My whole personality suddenly changed.

It's not just his appearance.

More importantly, his personality is completely different from that of the original owner.

She wasn't without her doubts.

Is Jiang Chuan possessed by some kind of demon?

but……

Liu Yue'e didn't really care about this matter.

As a weak woman in this chaotic world, what right did she have to choose?

Having someone to rely on is already extremely fortunate.

Besides, Jiang Chuan was still so good to her.

There's not a single flaw to it.

Does it matter whether he is possessed by a demon or not?

She was gazing at Jiang Chuan's strong, muscular body.

Lost in thought.

Jiang Chuan suddenly spoke, drawing her attention: "Yue'e, has the travel permit been processed yet?"

"what?"

Liu Yue'e snapped out of her daze, her face flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her head and murmured:

"It will be soon."

"I have submitted all the tax payment certificates and also paid a sum of money to Wang, the clerk in charge of household registration."

"It should be processed in the next few days..."

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly.

In fact, after receiving the money from Song Kunzang, Jiang Chuan had already considered leaving Zhang County.

He now has money and also the cultivation methods.

You can go anywhere in the world.

Why stay here and continue to outwit and outmaneuver that insignificant Wang family?

But what he didn't expect was...

Relocation was not a simple matter in ancient times.

The most basic requirement is to have a travel permit.

The household registration system in ancient times was not as rudimentary as modern people imagine.

If you commit a crime in one place, you can escape to another place, change your name and hide your identity, and get away with it from the authorities.

In fact, the household registration system in the Jing Dynasty was far more stringent than that of modern times.

As the saying goes.

A traveler needs a travel permit when traveling a hundred miles from home.

If you travel to another place without a travel permit, you will be treated as a deserter by the army and as an illegal immigrant by the civilians, both of which are serious crimes punishable by exile!

In this world, without a guide, it's practically impossible to move an inch.

And because transportation was inconvenient in ancient times.

Unless a large-scale famine or war breaks out, forcing the local people to leave their homes voluntarily.

Otherwise, large-scale population movement is extremely rare.

Even if he changes his name and moves to another place, he will easily be discovered by the local residents.

So even if he wanted to take Liu Yue'e away from Zhang County.

We need to get the travel permits processed first.

Obtaining a travel permit is quite troublesome.

It involves taxes, land ownership, and so on.

Even though he had already used his financial resources, there was still no news for several days.
