Chapter 29 Ultimate Martial Arts
Inside the carriage, Feng Xiu looked down at the silver mace in his hand.
The silver mace has a dragon-like tongue at the guard, and is hexagonal in shape. There is a circular protrusion every three fingers. The fine patterns from forging and hammering can be faintly seen on the silver mace.
This silver mace was specially made for Feng Xiu by Zheng Bo. Because of his immense strength, ordinary Body Refinement Realm cultivators couldn't withstand more than a few punches from Feng Xiu.
Therefore, in order to unleash their full potential, whips, maces, or other heavy weapons become the preferred choice for Feng Xiu.
In addition, there is a saying in martial arts that one must kill upon first encounter. Feng Xiu's contact with weapons was only the heavy mace that Han Che taught him to stabilize his lower body.
Later, he used the mace to kill the strange fish man, and naturally, Feng Xiu also loved this weapon very much.
"What a pity, if only I had the surname Qin, how impressive it would be to conquer three prefectures and six counties with a mace!" Qin Xiu couldn't help but think.
Immediately, Feng Xiu raised the silver mace in his hand straight, then swung it slightly, looking satisfied.
"I'll call you Ten States."
After setting down the ten states, Feng Xiu opened the wooden box. The box contained enough cultivation resources for a month, with more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs neatly arranged.
On top of the several pieces of living bone, there were three small dark brown wooden boxes.
Reaching out, I took one of them and opened it. Inside, a bright green pill came into view.
The pill felt cool in his palm, coated with a layer of wax. Even with the wax coating, a fragrant aroma wafted out the moment he opened it, causing Feng Xiu to shudder.
Blood-Replenishing Pill!
The Blood-Replenishing Pill is extremely valuable and cannot be bought on the market at all; every pill consumed reduces the available supply.
The reason for this is that one of its main ingredients is now extinct: White Jade Blood Rhinoceros. The White Jade Blood Rhinoceros is pure white like jade and is famous for the blood-red rhinoceros horn that grows on its head.
In Yunzhou, there is a place known by the false name of "Blood Rhinoceros" and "Ten Thousand Jin of Golden Ears".
However, the extinction of the white jade blood rhinoceros was not due to natural factors.
Instead, the former Emperor Hui of Liang extensively searched for rare and exotic animals throughout the land and gathered them in the beast shed of the imperial palace.
In other words, the Blood Restoration Pill is a tribute item, and it's of a high grade!
"Uncle Zheng once advised me that this pill would be most effective when taken during a breakthrough. Now that I have reached the peak of body refinement, if I take it now, I will surely be able to break through the Blood Burning stage!"
Feng Xiu leaned back against the soft cushion, thinking to himself.
"While this statement certainly implies the intention to unleash the full power of the medicine in order to reach a higher level, there is also the consideration that my body cannot withstand this level of medicinal power."
"Zheng Bo is right."
Back then, the effects of Bailudan alone required him to punch several times before he could barely neutralize them.
Although the name "Blood Rejuvenation Pill" is ordinary, the blood and qi energy contained within it is far beyond what a Body Refinement Realm cultivator can digest.
Feng Xiu thought for a moment and carefully put away the Blood Rejuvenation Pill.
He then took out a few Qi-gathering pills from the pouch at his waist and chewed them.
Similarly, the price of Qi-gathering pills is not low either. The cost price of one pill is ten taels of silver, and this is only because the Chu family pharmacy is giving Feng Ao a discount.
If you calculate carefully, you'll find that you've spent no less than five thousand taels of silver on military supplies alone within this month.
It's only because the Feng family is wealthy and powerful that they can afford to eat Qi-gathering pills as snacks.
"We still need to continue to lay a solid foundation in preparation for future breakthroughs."
Feeling the subtle increase in Qi and blood within his body, Feng Xiu made up his mind.
In the short term, continue to search for new martial arts techniques to strengthen and enhance your own attributes.
It wasn't that Feng Xiu deliberately suppressed his strength; for him, achieving the Blood Burning Realm at the age of twenty-six was something to be proud of.
The real reason is that its current four-dimensional values have not yet reached their limit!
【Life: 17】
【Spirit: 7】
【Strength: 12】
[Agility: 7]
[Technique Record: Eight Vajra Techniques (At its peak: Health +2, Spirit +2) - Cannot be improved]
【Five Strength Fist (Mastered: Strength +5, Health +5, Spirit +2)】
[Bagua Stance Skill: (Reached Perfection: Agility +5)]
[Synthesis: Reached Mastery (Can be synthesized)]
Feng Xiu brought up the panel data and carefully calculated the few lines of small text on the light screen.
"Based on my previous experience in acquiring attributes through cultivation techniques, if a technique is cultivated to the Transcendent level, corresponding changes will occur."
"So, assuming that a martial art that focuses on life will not increase life strength even after reaching the later stages."
The longer Feng Xiu cultivated, the more he felt that his cultivation manual was tailor-made for rigorous cultivation.
As long as you cultivate, you will surely reap the rewards!
Feng Xiu lowered his eyes, slowly savoring the moment. "Martial arts is based on tapping into the extraordinary power of the human body, but it also abides by corresponding rules."
"Ultimately, martial arts are based on qi and blood; the more qi and blood one has, the stronger one's power."
"On the contrary, if one's Qi and blood are insufficient, it will be difficult to unleash a decent attack. The same applies to other attributes."
In conclusion, Feng Xiu did not feel that he had reached a bottleneck, and his four-dimensional attributes should still be able to be improved.
When will it be after I've reached the pinnacle of martial arts cultivation and my stats no longer increase?
That's what true 'mastery of body refinement' looks like!
Of course, ideas are just ideas; the specific training plan will depend on subsequent developments.
With the Feng family's crisis still unresolved, advancing to the Blood Burning stage as soon as possible will provide them with a greater chance of self-preservation.
"However, this technique synthesis function... hmm." Feng Xiu thought for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Xiu shifted his gaze slightly, looking at the brightly lit synthetic text on the light screen, licked his lips, and thought to himself with some interest.
The fusion of martial arts is, after all, an unknown option, and he has already been looking forward to seeing how much it will change him.
It will take quite a while to get to Dendrobium Village, and since I have nothing else to do on the way, I might as well give it a try.
Then, without hesitation, he focused his mind on the synthesis.
In an instant, countless memories of practicing the Five Strengths Fist, the Eight Vajra Skills, and the stance training for lower body strength flooded into my mind like a cramming session.
Feng Xiu's expression froze.
After hurriedly and carefully sorting out all the moves, an upward arrow suddenly appeared on the synthesized text.
Feng Xiu took a deep breath, his mind spreading upwards towards it, and then he pressed down hard!
Boom~
Feng Xiu was startled. The next second, his blood and qi began to circulate on their own.
Like a tidal wave, it surged forth, its violent and domineering energy causing Feng Xiu's chest bones to creak slightly.
【Five Strengths Fist....】
【Bagua Stance Exercise....】
【Eight Vajra Techniques....】
The characters for the three techniques slowly disappeared. Finally, accompanied by extremely subtle compression and condensation of qi and blood, streams of qi and blood converged and flowed out towards the arms.
The bones of the forearm and upper arm made a cracking sound, as if the ulna, radius, and elbow were being crushed and recast.
The intense pain that struck him instantly turned Feng Xiu's rosy complexion deathly pale, and he clenched his teeth tightly!
He remained completely silent, his heart pounded, and a suppressed, painful groan escaped his lips.
"Hold on, hold on! Martial arts are the path to enlightenment, we must endure!" Feng Xiu trembled all over.
In a daze, Feng Xiu had only one thought in his mind, and his body swayed.
After an unknown amount of time, I noticed that the strange sensations I felt were gradually disappearing.
Feng Xiu gasped for breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead. It took him a while to recover.
【Life: 17】
【Spirit: 7】
【Strength: 12】
[Agility: 7]
[Synthesis: Not yet at the pinnacle (unavailable)]
On the panel, at this moment, in addition to the four-dimensional values,
All the progress information for martial arts techniques disappeared, replaced by a line of small text.
