I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 65: Blood Burning Technique

Xiang Xiu is very capable.

On her first day at Zhang Yuan’s house, she took over all the household chores from Mother Zhang.

Cleaning and tidying, doing laundry and hanging it out to dry, chopping wood and boiling water, and even making beds and folding blankets.

She also fed Da Hu.

The young girl was hardworking and attentive, and she specially found a wooden comb to groom Da Hu’s fur, combing out the fleas from the dog’s body.

Soon, this guard dog was happily following her around, wagging its tail to show affection.

Mother Zhang’s fondness for Xiang Xiu soared to the maximum because of this.

She was eager to take her as a daughter!

Zhang Yuan felt that the seventeen and a half taels of silver he spent were truly worthwhile.

Even if he had to pay an annual head tax for her in the future, it was still worth it.

With Xiang Xiu accompanying his mother from now on, Zhang Yuan undoubtedly had fewer worries.

In the quiet of the night, he was in his room, perusing the "Blood Burning Technique" he had just acquired today.

Strictly speaking, the "Blood Burning Technique" is neither a cultivation technique nor a martial art; it is essentially a special method for martial artists to manipulate their Qi Blood, specifically used to counter the eerie.

Therefore, this "Blood Burning Technique" is very thin, containing only five pages of content.

Less than one-fifth of it describes the technique’s secrets, with the rest being annotations and insights from predecessors.

The execution technique of the "Blood Burning Technique" is not complicated either.

After carefully reading it and combining the annotations and previous experiences from the text, Zhang Yuan gradually formed a rough outline in his mind.

Such technique secrets demand high comprehension from the practitioner when there’s no guidance.

After repeatedly reading it three times, he decided to practice according to the method recorded in the book.

Zhang Yuan stood up, moved the desk aside, and assumed the stance of the Rock Foundation Skill, taking a deep breath.

He attempted to stimulate his own Qi Blood.

Qi Blood is the foundation of a person, originating from the five viscera and six bowels, and limbs and bones, representing the power of Essence Qi and blood marrow.

Qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi; they depend on each other, cooperate, and coordinate to sustain life’s vitality!

When Zhang Yuan performed the method of the "Blood Burning Technique," his Qi Blood became immediately active and even restless.

However, controlling this force was not easy.

Zhang Yuan practiced repeatedly until midnight, slowly gathering some experience.

"Ha!"

He suddenly uttered a low shout, with dazzling brilliance shooting from his eyes, and a mist of blood spewed from his mouth.

This mist of blood instantly spread in the air, rising and swirling like burning flames, illuminating the entire room.

In the next moment, Zhang Yuan drew the Yanling Saber.

With a swing, he sliced through the blood mist in front of him.

The bright blade was immediately stained with countless specks of blood, looking very alarming!

Zhang Yuan let out a long breath.

He glanced at the Divine Nest interface and found that his Qi and Blood Value had decreased by thirty points.

The "Blood Burning Technique" must rely on one’s Essence Blood to perform, stimulated through the tip of the tongue or fingertip, to directly deal with the eerie or enhance weapons.

The higher the cultivation of a martial artist, the stronger the power of burning blood.

Although martial artists in the Qi Entry Realm can refine True Fire to deal with the eerie, the "Blood Burning Technique" is still useful.

Even stronger.

However, this martial arts technique is very consuming to oneself, usable once or twice without issue.

But frequent usage will undoubtedly shake the foundation, even costing life!

So it must be used cautiously.

Zhang Yuan did not continue practicing; he put away his weapon and the "Blood Burning Technique" manual, then took a slice of Dry Ginseng in his mouth and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, after washing and having breakfast, Zhang Yuan went out to find an Oil-Painted Car.

The Oil-Painted Car is a local carriage for hire in the city, picking up passengers and doing business on the streets, both for transporting people and goods.

Comfortably seating four or five people.

Zhang Yuan took along his mother, Xiang Xiu, Da Hu, and some essential items. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

They took the carriage to Wu Manor.

Upon reaching the destination, seeing this house Zhang Yuan had just acquired yesterday, Mother Zhang felt both happy and saddened.

The joy, of course, was that Zhang Yuan had truly become successful.

Not only settling in the city but soon owning a new residence, almost becoming a nouveau riche!

This house was far more impressive than the one in the city.

However, good things don’t fall from the sky!

What Zhang Yuan now possessed was likely earned through great effort.

For Mother Zhang, no wealth or glory could ever compare to her son’s life.

If she had the choice, she would rather continue living a life eating chaff and drinking water in Chen Family Village than have Zhang Yuan risk his life in the martial world for fame and fortune.

Despite her unease, Mother Zhang remained smiling and said nothing to dampen the mood.

She simply placed Zhang Yuan’s father’s tablet in the highest regard, praying fervently.

Praying for the deceased father’s spirit to bless and protect Zhang Yuan.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan and Xiang Xiu began cleaning the new home.

Initially, Xiang Xiu wanted to handle all the chores, not daring to let her young master become tired.

But after a glare from Zhang Yuan, she immediately shrank back like a frightened quail, not daring to say more.

Quickly, Mother Zhang joined them.

The three of them worked together, cleaning the courtyard and rooms.

Zhang Yuan then made another trip to the city to purchase a batch of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and daily necessities.

By evening, the new home looked proper enough, and it was entirely livable.

Zhang Yuan smilingly said to his mother, "Mother, this place is different from the city; the residents here are mainly families of Furious Whale Gang members. You can visit Master Chen’s place whenever you want, no need to stay cooped up at home."

Zhang Yuan still vividly remembered the local hooligans causing trouble in the past, and he lacked confidence in the security environment of the county city.

Be aware that Linhe County still had a local tyrant lurking.

The Fierce Tiger Gang!

So he usually advised his mother not to go out or only accompanied her on the streets.

To prevent any accidents.

But the situation in Wu Manor is entirely different—as the family area of the Furious Whale Gang, Zhang Yuan can basically keep his mind at ease.

But he didn’t plan to sell the house in the city either.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows; having more options and escape routes is always good, never knowing when they might come in handy.

"Hmm."

Mother Zhang nodded gently and said softly, "Yuan’er, you don’t have to worry about me, I will take good care of myself, and now with Xiang Xiu accompanying me, you can focus on doing what you want to do!"

"If your father were still alive, he would support you too."

Mentioning her deceased husband brought a sense of melancholy to Mother Zhang’s appearance.

Zhang Yuan gently held his mother’s hand, "Mom, trust me, our days will only get better from here on!"

Mother Zhang wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and smiled, "Of course, I believe in you."

She felt that her greatest fortune in life was having such an understanding, filial, and capable son like Zhang Yuan.

Heaven had truly been kind to her!
