Chapter 33 Late Stage of Blood Burning Realm
Zhou Jin nodded thoughtfully, then picked up the book on the table, flipped through a few pages, and asked, "Senior Brother Shen, do you really intend to let Junior Brother Chen Feng join the Demon Suppression Division?"
"You were eavesdropping through the wall again?" Instructor Zhou paused, then said irritably.
Zhou Jin, however, acted as if she hadn't heard him and instead asked, "Because of that Heart-Eating Old Monster?"
"Hmm," Instructor Zhou's hand hovered in mid-air, a serious look flashing across his face, "Chen Feng's eerie aura is very strong."
......
evening.
End of cultivation.
Jiang Qi and Zhao Xiaoqi left the martial arts school together.
Just as he arrived at the door, Liu Ying, the plump cook from the kitchen, delivered the medicinal meal as scheduled: "Brother Jiang, today's Eight Treasures Strengthening Soup."
"Thank you, Brother Liu." Jiang Qi accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.
Liu Ying smiled and waved her hand, her gaze casually sweeping over Zhao Xiaoqi before she left.
After leaving the martial arts school, the two headed towards Sweetwater Lane.
As Jiang Qi turned the corner, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A feeling of expansion and impact surged from my chest, and the fourth stream of qi and blood was about to burst forth.
Is a breakthrough imminent?!
Jiang Qi's expression hardened slightly, but then a look of surprise flashed across his face.
I thought I'd have to wait another two days.
"Qi-ge'er, what's wrong?" Zhao Xiaoqi turned around and asked.
"It's nothing," Jiang Qi said, concealing his joy. "Let's go."
"Um... Qi-ge'er, my aunts at home know I've started practicing martial arts, and they've all come to borrow money. My mother might not be able to handle it, I..."
"Alright, then you can go home first." Jiang Qi stopped and took out a Blood Qi Powder. "Take this, I'll go see Auntie in a couple of days."
"Thank you, Qi-ge'er."
......
Inside the water room.
A breakthrough is imminent.
As soon as Jiang Qi returned, he took out two Blood Qi Pills and swallowed them.
He had actually made some preparations; he had spent almost all the money he had saved up during this period on buying Blood Qi Pills.
The tonic enters the abdomen, transforms into a warm current, and flows along the blood vessels, converging at the chest area where the Qi and blood are located.
He immediately assumed a fighting stance and began practicing the "Zhenyuan Body Strengthening Exercise," guiding the medicinal power to the fourth seed of Qi and Blood.
Under the infusion of medicinal power, the fourth channel of qi and blood gradually solidified.
Before long, cracks appeared all over the surface of the seed of qi and blood.
It seems like it's about to hatch at any moment.
As the medicinal properties intensified, cracks covered almost the entire surface of the seed.
Click click...
With a soft cracking sound, the seed shattered, and a wisp of vital energy sprouted from the chest.
done?
Jiang Qi was overjoyed and immediately increased his training speed to accelerate the absorption of the medicine.
However, he soon discovered the problem.
"The medicinal power cannot reach the young buds of qi and blood?"
He quickly focused his attention to examine the situation.
On the surface of the young bud, there seemed to be a thin film that blocked everything from the outside world, including the medicinal power that was gathering.
"A thin film? A strategic pass?"
Jiang Qi threw a punch, then stopped and carefully examined the thin film.
"It blocks the medicinal effects and the convergence of the first three streams of qi and blood... but it seems that the membrane itself is also being rapidly depleted due to this blockage..."
"So, the medicine wasn't strong enough?"
He immediately took two more Blood Qi Pills and swallowed them. The first three streams of blood and qi, carrying the medicinal power, turned into a torrent and launched an even more violent impact on the thin membrane.
Boom! Boom!
The blood and qi surged like a raging torrent, crashing against this barrier time and time again.
The barrier trembled until the medicine's effects wore off, but it remained unbroken for a long time.
The newly formed fourth bud of Qi and blood flickered like a candle in the wind, unable to grow and take shape due to its restraint.
Is this what knocking on the gate means?
This seems quite complicated; no wonder Coach Zhou said we need to prepare well.
Jiang Qineng could sense that the barrier was connected to him, yet it also possessed a natural "repulsive" force.
"Knocking on the gates...laying a solid foundation...refining qi and blood..."
After a moment's thought, he swallowed two more Blood Qi Pills, then took out a bamboo tube, uncorked it, and drank the entire tube of Moon Essence Water.
As the Moon Essence Water enters the stomach, a refreshing and sweet coolness spreads.
Wherever the coolness passed, the restless blood and qi seemed to be soothed, and the barrier that was blocking it seemed to have become softer under the strange effects of the [Moonlight Water]?
"efficient."
Jiang Qi remained expressionless as the first three streams of qi and blood, along with the medicinal power, transformed into a torrent once more, crashing towards the membrane.
pat!
Like glass falling to the ground.
The barrier shattered in the next instant!
Without any obstruction, the medicinal power was infused, and the fourth bud of Qi and blood visibly grew.
In no time, it became as thick as a hair.
At the same time, Jiang Qi felt a thorough and comfortable sensation throughout his body, his muscles and bones creaking slightly, and his strength, speed, and perception all instantly leaped to a new level.
[Realm: Mid-stage Blood Burning Realm]
Become!
Jiang Qi smiled as he carefully sensed the changes within his body.
"The four streams of Qi and blood have just been formed, but each one has been purified and refined through [Blood Absorption], making it far more powerful than ordinary ones... Now, my total amount of Qi and blood is about the same as that of an ordinary martial artist with seven streams of Qi and blood..."
The seven martial artists with Qi and Blood are already in the late stage of the Blood Burning Realm!
My consciousness swept over the [Book of a Hundred Trades]:
[Occupation: Warrior]
[Level: 2 (297/300)]
"My [Martial Artist] class is about to be upgraded." Jiang Qi's eyes gleamed. "With the Perfected Wind-Breaking Blade and the [Splittering Wind] Blade Intent, with my current overall strength, I should be able to put up a fight even against a true late-stage Blood-Burning Realm martial artist, or at least not be completely helpless."
"However, it's best to focus on the mid-game; it's better to avoid late-game warriors..."
Health and mana are not the only measure of combat strength. Those who can survive in Licheng all have some trump cards up their sleeves.
However, this strength undoubtedly gave him more confidence to make a living in the perilous city of Li.
After the initial joy, practical problems arose.
"Upon breaking through to the mid-stage, strength increases significantly, and correspondingly, the consumption of qi and blood needed for daily cultivation will also rise sharply..."
After a moment's thought.
"Go to Litong Money Shop."
......
Litong money shop, elegant room in the back hall.
"Mid-term?" Pang Zhan looked at Jiang Qi in front of him, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
He watched as Jiang Qi went from an ordinary person to the mid-stage of the Blood Burning Realm, a level that countless people might struggle to reach even with their best efforts.
And this happened in less than six months.
Is this kid's natural talent really just inferior?
Pang Zhan is now starting to have doubts about the bone-reading technique used by Zhenyuan Martial Arts School.
Perhaps... it's the Blood Nourishing Pill of the City Patrol Envoy, something truly extraordinary.
"Congratulations, young brother Jiang." Pang Zhan said with a broad smile.
The faster the cultivation, the more it proves that his funding was correct.
"Um," Jiang Qi cupped his hands in greeting, "Master Pang, about the mid-term funding we discussed at the martial arts school..."
"Haha...wait a minute." Pang Zhan seemed to have anticipated this, and upon hearing this, he got up and went out.
It didn't take long.
Pang Zhan then returned, but he was not alone.
"This must be Brother Jiang." The other man was tall and imposing, with an even more extraordinary presence than Pang Zhan, but his expression bore a resemblance to Pang Zhan's.
Jiang Qi cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Seventh Master."
This man's name was Pang Wei, the elder brother of Pang Zhan, and he was known as Seventh Master.
Because it's a grant for someone at the mid-stage of the Blood-Burning Realm, Pang Zhan doesn't have enough authority; he needs Seventh Master's approval first.
This Seventh Master had heard that Jiang Qi had obtained the Blood Nourishing Pill from Shen Yi, the city patrol officer of the Demon Suppression Division, so he came to see for himself.
Pang Wei nodded slightly and smiled, "As agreed, once you advance to the mid-stage, the subsidy will be increased to thirty taels of silver, fifteen Blood Nourishing Pills, and two Blood Gathering Pills."
Pang Zhan then pushed the items in front of Jiang Qi.
"Thank you, Master Pang, Seventh Master." Jiang Qi bowed in thanks, then feigned hesitation.
"It's alright, feel free to say whatever you want." Pang Zhan was in a good mood and quite forthright. "Seventh Brother is very easy to talk to."
"Can I... borrow more money?" Jiang Qi asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, Pang Zhan was slightly taken aback at first, then chuckled and shook his head: "You lad... you have quite the appetite. According to the rules of the money shop, once you have accepted the funding, you cannot borrow any more money, to prevent someone from using the funds to repay a loan and abusing resources."
After a moment's hesitation, he added, "However... you have good credit; you've repaid all your previous loans on time..."
