Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 39 - New Changes, Blood Qi like Mercury! (Seeking Yue Tickets, Seeking Follow-up Reads!)
Chapter 39: Chapter 39 New Changes, Blood Qi like Mercury! (Seeking Yue Tickets, Seeking Follow-up Reads!)
“If it were a Cultivation Technique of the Grandmaster level or above, Wang Sheng was very willing to take a look, since all roads lead to the same destination by different paths.
Grandmaster-level Martial Artists have truly undergone a transformation, with a lifespan of 200 years; borrowing some of their advantages could better enhance oneself.
But when it comes to Basic Skills, that is the path of one’s own great journey, and Wang Sheng was not willing to cultivate them lightly.
So, after studying for half an hour, he stopped looking at this Cultivation Technique and turned to practice Ba Duan Jin.
Time passed, and more than ten days went by; Xu Qu still treated the villagers suffering from the martial artists’ plague at old man Ji’s house every day. As the treatments went on, his reputation improved, and the villagers respected him greatly.
Wang Sheng, on the other hand, used these days to continuously enhance himself.
On the sixth day, the Qi Blood Power successfully repaired the “wound” of the first disease focus.
Perhaps because the first disease focus only formed a very small “wound,” he didn’t feel any obvious difference after it was completely repaired.
However, on the fifteenth day, the Qi Blood Power repaired another “wound,” and this time he finally felt a sensation, albeit still weak enough to be perceptible.
The most noticeable time was when taking the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill.
Wang Sheng could clearly feel the effects of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill “strengthen,” with each pill providing a slightly higher boost to the body’s Qi-Blood.
Keep in mind that he had been taking the same batch of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills, with the same quality of medicinal ingredients, so the effects should have been the same.
But after repairing the “wound,” the effects strangely intensified, which was definitely not normal.
“Is it because there’s less leakage now?”
Wang Sheng had always thought he could perfectly absorb the effects of the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill, but now it seemed that was not necessarily the case.
With each dose, only some of the effect was absorbed, while a portion of the medicinal potency leaked out through the body’s “wounds.”
A little at a time didn’t amount to much, but over many doses, the total might be quite frightening.
He still hadn’t completely repaired the “wounds” formed by the Qi Rushing to the Disease, and many remained, likely still leaking.
However, Wang Sheng didn’t feel regret, since the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill was meant to be used; one can’t refuse to eat for fear of choking.
Besides, even if there was leakage, most of the energy was absorbed by him, and as long as the effects were achieved, that’s what mattered.
And compared with this effect, Wang Sheng valued another aspect of repairing the “wounds” even more.
That was the increased force he could exert when utilizing his Qi Blood Power.
When using the Qi Blood Power, it became more smooth and unified.
This increase in power was different from the Energy Emission techniques used in Baji Quan.
If Baji Quan was about exerting a certain amount of power to achieve an effect one or even several times greater, then after repairing the “wounds,” it was like turning the original amount of power into two or three times as much.
This was a fundamental increase.
But in fact, his Qi Blood Power had not strengthened; it remained as it was.
This means that these “wounds” were actually impairing the original power of his Qi Blood Power.
Wang Sheng suddenly had an epiphany.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
“Does this mean that if I repair all the ‘wounds,’ my Qi Blood Power will display an even more terrifying force?”
Is this the terror of a Pure Body?
No wonder in every world where cultivation is possible, the Pure Body is always considered a top-tier talent for cultivation.
And Inner Core Skill is about achieving a Pure Body postnatally.
But Wang Sheng thought perhaps any method of cultivation, if practiced to a profound level, could reach this stage, after all, cultivators need to exert extreme control over their bodies.
Of course, the formidable aspect of Inner Core Skill is achieving this state in the first step of cultivation.
As a result, at a young and weaker stage, both the speed of cultivation and the foundational combat strength will far exceed those of others at the same level.
Thinking this, Wang Sheng practiced with even greater effort.
Another ten days passed.
Wang Sheng repaired another “wound,” gaining even stronger control over his Qi Blood Power.
But this time, what he cared about wasn’t how much his power increased.
Instead, it was the strength of his own blood.
After breaking through three limits with Ba Duan Jin, the strength of his blood had been increasing.
Even under the state of introspection, he could see his blood thicken.
This change was only perceivable in the state of introspection. Otherwise, even if Wang Sheng cut himself, his blood would look no different from an ordinary person’s, showing no abnormalities.
Therefore, Wang Sheng had not paid too much attention to it, as long as it made him stronger, that’s what mattered.
But this morning, after completing a set of Ba Duan Jin, a progress bar appeared.
“Blood Qi like Mercury: 1%”
This progress bar appeared directly in front of him.
“Does this mean my blood strength has reached a certain threshold?”
He thought the strength of his blood would slowly and steadily increase without any extra change.
But this newly emerged progress bar revealed that the enhancement of blood strength also occurs in stages.
And it took him so long practicing Ba Duan Jin to reach the first stage of blood strength.
“Blood Qi like Mercury, so does that mean Blood Qi Smoke and Blood Qi like Dragon are next?”
Among the teachings of Inner Core Skill, there is no mention of blood strength, so Wang Sheng could only make assumptions based on his own speculation.
However, one thing was clear to him: once he reached the level of Blood Qi like Dragon, even without Qi Blood Power, he would still be an extremely powerful Martial Artist.
Blood Qi can suppress evil spirits; if it erupts, not to mention common people, even slightly weaker Martial Artists may not be able to withstand the pressure.
“An unexpected change indeed!”
Wang Sheng never expected that after breaking through three limits with Ba Duan Jin, the result would be like this.
But—
“Blood Qi like Dragon, truly something to look forward to!”
After the Foundation Establishment of a hundred days, Inner Core Skill moves to the stage of Refining Essence to Qi.
Refining essence and Qi transformation.
The first realm of refining essence is “producing medicine.”
This realm is to prepare the body to extract its great medicine; naturally, this “great medicine” can’t come from nowhere.
The enhancement of the body during Foundation Establishment serves as the nutrient for forming this “great medicine.”
In theory, the stronger the body is enhanced, the more powerful the resultant “great medicine” will be, and the more potent the stage of refining essence.
Refining Essence to Qi is the beginning of extending one’s lifespan in Inner Core Skill.
At this stage, one’s lifespan can basically be seen as transcending the ordinary, no longer a mere mortal.
And the stronger the “great medicine,” the stronger the power, adding even more to the increased lifespan.
The enhancement of blood strength, which is not covered in Inner Core Skill, but nevertheless aligns well with it.
Wang Sheng was very much looking forward to how potent the “great medicine” he would produce after completing Qi Rushing to the Disease.
He had a premonition that the strength of his “great medicine” would far exceed his own expectations.
At the same time, an idea arose in him.
To enhance himself as much as possible before refining essence.
This way, he would benefit more during the stage of refining essence.
However, to do so would require some different Cultivation Techniques. Yet he didn’t have many left; which one should he use?”
