Chapter 23 The Ancestor of Blood Refining and Qi Transformation Martial Arts
"Refining blood into qi" sounds like just four simple words.
But for martial artists who need a lot of energy to practice martial arts, its value is immeasurable!
This is especially true for someone like him who is not short of money.
It's like having another way to aggressively extract energy besides eating.
Moreover, compared to eating, refining blood into qi is simpler and more direct, and more efficient in increasing blood and qi.
Eating will convert a lot of vital energy into fat and muscle, leading to vertical growth. Even if you practice martial arts diligently, once your body is saturated, you will become a muscular tyrant who is no longer human.
However, practicing blood circulation and qi transformation has no effect on body shape.
And you don't even need to worry about whether it's edible!
Any substance containing energy can be grasped and refined in an instant.
It can strengthen the body in normal times and heal injuries and replenish qi and blood in battle.
It's even an area-of-effect skill that's ubiquitous and impossible for enemies to escape.
Such a top-grade soul skill is extremely rare, even in a hundred thousand years, let alone a thousand or ten thousand.
Besides 'refining blood into qi', after strengthening his origin, he discovered that he had gained a special control over his blood and qi!
In Douluo Continent, Qi and blood are another source of power besides soul power and spiritual power!
Enhanced ability to control Qi and blood.
It has two main uses.
First, when facing the enemy.
Even if the opponent is not injured, he can briefly manipulate their qi and blood, forcing them to divert their attention to suppress it with their soul power. Otherwise, at best, their qi and blood will become turbulent, and at worst, their heart will rupture.
Secondly, he could try to develop his own unique martial arts techniques based on his own internal energy.
After his ability to control his Qi and blood was enhanced, Qin Xu was able to mobilize several times his own Qi and blood for a short period of time, allowing the power he unleashed to briefly exceed his limits.
Qin Ruins called it: Qi and Blood Martial Arts Technique!
Qi and blood martial arts techniques are something that others cannot learn.
It is related not only to the flow path of force in the meridians, but also to the strength of qi and blood.
Similar to soul skills, he needs to explore and learn them.
Currently, Qin Xu has only completed two Qi and Blood Martial Arts techniques: [Heavy Mountain Strike] and [Great Turtle Step].
The former can instantly enhance his upper body strength. The latter can enhance his lower body strength.
Theoretically, even without relying on good fortune to deduce the path of martial arts, Qin Xu could still obtain considerable combat power solely based on the pure numerical values brought about by refining blood into qi.
But one day, Qin Xu discovered that the rate at which his physical strength was increasing was slowing down!
It's as if they've reached a point of saturation at their own level of life.
It seems that one cannot go very far with only physical strength.
Qin Xu speculated that this might be the law of heaven and earth on the Douluo Continent.
In this world, not only soul power, but also the physical strength of a person has an upper limit, which may be linked to the level of cultivation.
Like a spirit ring, once the body's strength reaches a certain limit, further strengthening of the physical body will not increase the strength of the qi and blood; it will only become more robust.
Therefore, Qin Xu had no choice but to use the luck to deduce a martial arts system that was based on himself, which could break through the great secrets of the human body and shatter the shackles.
Currently, this physical body system only has one major realm and five minor realms.
The five minor realms correspond to the five internal organs.
The five internal organs store and preserve essence and vital energy without letting it leak away. Among the three flavors of essence, vital energy, and spirit, spirit resides in the brain, but the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all closely related to mental activities.
The five internal organs, also called the five viscera, contain the spirit, blood, and soul. This is a great secret of the human body.
By developing Musashi, the power of the body's blood and qi can be transformed into secret power, and the human body can discover its potential through gradual transformation.
At that time, he will be able to split mountains with his strength, move freely among the five elements, and be capable of anything.
Kidney (water), Liver (wood), Heart (fire), Spleen (earth), Lung (metal).
The core principle is to use the human body as a furnace to nourish the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, yin and yang, and the five elements.
The Five Treasures are said to be five realms, but there is no order in which they are entered; they simply contain secret powers of different attributes. When the secret power reaches a certain strength, one can break through a realm.
Therefore, he can be considered the ancestor of martial arts in the Douluo Continent.
Regardless of their actual abilities, their reputation is undoubtedly very high.
In one year, Qin Xu has broken through two levels of the martial arts system, namely the liver wood and the heart fire. He is currently cultivating the spleen earth, which corresponds to the essence of earth.
In terms of strength, although it is completely different from the Soul Master system and there is no precise correspondence, Qin Xu's current physical strength has completely surpassed that of ordinary Soul Kings.
Even without using his soul power, he can withstand the soul skills of a Soul Master with just his physical body!
Having only cultivated for a year, he is already in no way weaker than the Soul Master system.
For this reason, Qin Xu placed great emphasis on martial arts and decided to pursue two different paths.
Instead of using martial arts as a mere cover-up, it is no longer the case that martial arts are used to deceive people.
Besides strength, there is another crucial point.
After the Black Seal Martial Soul is strengthened, the only obstacle to becoming stronger is time.
Since his future is destined to be invincible and brilliant, he should pursue other things as well.
For example... immortality.
Soul Masters cannot live forever, at most a few hundred years. The legend of becoming a god is also vague and without a clear origin. Qin Xu believes that it is a religious belief.
The world is wonderful, and life is worth living. How can we be like a shooting star, only glancing at the mortal world once?
Therefore, since Soul Masters cannot live forever...
What about martial arts?
If great power returns to oneself, there is hope for immortality.
Moreover, the two routes are not part of the same system.
For oneself, it can be used simultaneously during combat.
The path of martial arts is about harnessing power within oneself, achieving personal perfection and freedom, and proving one's way through strength.
The path of a Soul Master involves plundering the principles of all things and proving one's Dao through the laws.
He pursued two paths simultaneously, believing in himself that as long as he reached the end, he would surely create a method for immortality.
"According to the martial arts theory deduced by the Black Seal, besides essence, spirit, and blood, to truly reach perfection in the path of martial arts, one also needs to hone one's mental will. But how exactly should one hone one's mental will?"
According to Qin Xu, "精魄" actually refers to spiritual power.
However, Qin Xu was somewhat at a loss when it came to matters of mind and will.
"If I had enough good fortune, I would be omniscient, and omnipotent. If I had any questions, I could just ask good fortune... But right now, I still don't have enough good fortune."
With his mind at ease, Qin Xu focused his attention on himself.
Fate: Blue, Vitality: 1990, Soul Power: 1831, Luck: 4
Looking at his current stats, Qin Xu's face showed a hint of satisfaction. The Blood Refining Qi Soul Skill was too powerful, allowing his vitality to achieve a breakthrough.
In terms of soul power, although his soul master level is currently only 38, the special effect of the Blue Silver King of the Sun martial soul allows his soul power ceiling to far exceed that of other soul masters at the same level.
The first spirit ring also reached the age limit of 20,000 years, and the method of hiding the true age limit of the spirit ring was deduced through the black seal.
With his mind at ease, Qin Xu focused his attention on his martial spirit.
After the second enhancement of his martial soul, Qin Xu's cultivation speed was roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary innate soul power level nine genius.
Because he certainly didn't have enough luck before, he didn't take a closer look at the luck required to strengthen his martial soul.
At that moment, he suddenly became interested.
"The Bloodthirsty Vine of the Sun: A sincere son of the sun fell into the sea of blood, though he still retains the sun's radiance..." Skipping over the rest of the introduction, Qin Xu focused his attention on the final enhancement branch.
"...can be enhanced by branches"
'1. Blood-Growing Vine by the Sun...'
'Two Great Sun Trees (All-Encompassing, Bloodthirsty...)'
『3 Bloodstained World Tree...』
Looking at these simple, straightforward, and powerful names, Qin Xu felt that he was getting further and further away from the original Blue Silver Grass.
Perhaps by absorbing the spirit rings of animal-type spirit beasts, one can develop in the direction of beast martial spirit?
Anyway, after it was strengthened into the Sun-Chasing Blood Vine, Qin Xu never saw the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver Emperor again.
He hurriedly checked the amount of good fortune needed for evolution, lest he become envious and find that he needed too much good fortune.
He was quite excited when he saw that the first enhancement branch only required a little bit of good luck. However, the second and third enhancement branches required sixty points to start, as well as twenty years of reserve vitality.
Qin Xu's hand tightened slightly. Sixty points, more than ten times the previous enhancement.
He remembered that strengthening him to become the Sun Chasing Blue Silver Emperor wouldn't have required nearly that much.
As Qin Xu's blood pressure soared, he also realized that the strength of his martial soul would be extremely high after this second enhancement.
Because strengthening the black mark has always been very powerful.
However, too much good fortune is needed!
After taking several deep breaths to calm his soaring blood pressure, Qin Xu clicked on the first enhancement branch.
Two days later, Qin Xu left the pass.
Hei Bo immediately went to Qin Xu and told him about God King Tang San's purchase of whale glue.
Qin Xu said, "If I'm not mistaken, swallowing whale glue directly after roasting it in flames might enhance physical attributes."
He was quite knowledgeable about the properties of medicines, and with his martial arts training, he came to a conclusion after careful consideration.
"In that case, Xiao San has a chance. Uncle Hei, go and buy more. I'll perfect it and let Xiao San try the medicine. If it greatly improves his physical body, his chances of defeating that person will be much greater."
Qin Xu arranged it.
A gap that can be bridged with resources is not a real gap.
"Yes, sir, don't you think the young master knows too much?" Uncle Hei hesitated for a moment, then said, "He seems to know some special meditation methods. He may have cultivated his innate full soul power through this."
"I know," Qin Xu said casually. "He mentioned it to me before, but he said it was a different kind of inheritance. He said if I joined a sect, they could teach it to me, but I refused..."
"That's good." Uncle Hei breathed a sigh of relief. The master was extremely good to Tang San. If Tang San had a way to help those with lower innate soul power levels cultivate, why didn't he think of the master?
He will harbor some resentment in his heart.
Qin Xu had long seen through Tang San's many secrets, but he didn't expose them because he wanted to use Tang San to research and strengthen the Black Seal. When Tang San "confessed" to him last year, he wasn't very interested in the "Mysterious Heaven Skill."
Moreover, a gray-gold destiny number inherently signifies extraordinary nature.
"There's one more thing, sir. This is a letter from Wuhun City." Uncle Hei respectfully presented it with both hands.
"A letter from Da Dong?" Qin Xu casually accepted it.
"It's...it's a letter from Wuhun City."
Uncle Hei felt a chill run down his spine.
Only his master would dare to be so disrespectful to the Pope.
For a year and a half, although others did not know, he did know that the Pope would carry out a mission every three or four months and pass through Nottingham.
I don't know why His Holiness the Pope always passes through such a remote city.
Qin Xu casually tucked the letter into a book without opening it.
Uncle Hei noticed this detail but didn't ask any further questions, because the master seemed to be in a bad mood when Bibi Dong left last time.
After Blackie left.
After a while, a somewhat complicated voice appeared in Qin Xu's ears.
Why aren't you reading the letter?
"Now that the person has arrived, what's the point of me reading the letter?" Qin Xu said.
He had seen that crimson cloud of destiny long ago.
Little Bibi Dong, how laughable, she always hides there whenever I come.
"Last time, I didn't go to see Yu Xiaogang, but this time I..." Bibi Dong walked out from under the eaves, her beautiful figure coming to Qin Xu's side.
"If you want to see that taffy, go ahead. What does it have to do with me?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu found it hard to bear.
He had only been drinking and got a little tipsy last time, and he thought the woman was quite attractive, implying that she should open her eyes wider.
So when Bibi Dong said that she had helped her a lot, and there was nothing he could do, he said that he didn't want to see her go to see Yu Xiaogang.
He absolutely did not mean anything by it.
There was no hint whatsoever.
But this ordinary woman actually overthought things. How ridiculous! You're such a good actress; I never even considered dating you.
Although he was rejected, and rejected so decisively that it was very embarrassing for the man, he wasn't really trying to curry favor with Yang Fei. Qin Xu just sighed a little.
Bibi Dong remained silent, this time without getting angry or even reacting.
Because she knew that even if she reacted, it wouldn't have much effect.
Qin Xu called the man "cowhide candy," and his rebuttal was futile.
Although she would definitely be stressed at first, Qin Xu would say something like "lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife" to shut down any reason for her to get angry.
Back then, even when Yu Xiaogang was called a coward, she couldn't retaliate.
So, if Xiaogang swears at people, and I don't stand up for you, don't blame me...
Fortunately, God King Sugar Three has never been defeated, and she only comes to Notting City occasionally, so she still has a bit of the master's filter.
"Although I only come here occasionally... I think you're a very nice person, a great cook, and handsome, but..."
"Your Majesty, Dongzi, you are drunk," Qin Xu said.
"I've already lost too much, I don't want my past to look like a joke..." Bibi Dong was incredibly stubborn, with pain flashing deep in her eyes.
She carried the soul bone with her several times...
Looking at Bibi Dong's clown-like appearance, Qin Xu tried to keep his mouth turned down.
Sir, he did it!
Although he didn't know what charm Yu Xiaogang possessed, Qin Xu was not optimistic about the couple at all, because he found that Yu Xiaogang was really a bit of a good-for-nothing.
"I wish you well. There are always things that come above all else," Qin Xu said earnestly.
Bibi Dong looked at that handsome face and said those words, finally feeling completely relaxed.
She knew Qin Xu was a good person, and if she spent too much time with him, even if she still had feelings for Xiao Gang, there was a possibility that her feelings might change.
He's a bit too dangerous. He embodies all my aesthetic preferences.
And now.
It's good that you've explained it clearly.
I'll just stop coming here from now on.
Although I was somewhat reluctant to part with him as a friend, I realized that we were not from the same era.
If the other person knew that he had a daughter, he certainly wouldn't have these complicated feelings for me.
She left.
Before leaving, she took one last look at Qin Xu's retreating figure and did not go to see Yu Xiaogang, because she felt it was inappropriate.
This time, let's end it in a somber atmosphere.
If you want to see Yu Xiaogang, then maybe next time.
