Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 28

[Chapter 28: True Power Enters the Marrow (Please Recommend)]

Shanty town.

Inside the cellar.

breathe……

The terrifying air waves hit the walls back and forth, rippling out…as if they were about to form an air current that swept across.

Fang Xi was shirtless, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.

With every breath he took, his blood seemed to become stronger, and even the muscles all over his body became as elastic as rubber.

“The principle of Iron Clothes Kung Fu is counter-shock!”

“When you reach the Great Perfection stage, even if a warrior holds a blunt weapon, he won’t be able to cause much damage!”

Fang Xi took a big bite of Tai Sui meat and closed his eyes to meditate on the divine intention of Iron Armor Kung Fu.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He suddenly opened his eyes: “It’s done!”

The Iron Armor Skill has reached perfection, and his true strength has broken through again!

This time, he felt as if his whole body was covered with a layer of transparent gauze, which greatly increased his defense, especially his chest and back!

These two places are where the White Cloud Palm and the Red Snake Leg are missing!
“It’s just as I expected… With the spiritual energy of the Xiuxian world and the blessing of Tai Sui meat, my martial arts training has improved rapidly! Breaking through is as easy as eating and drinking.”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly.

Of course, this is also because he is already a real force warrior, and it would be much easier for him to practice another martial art to this level.

Not to mention, there is also spiritual awareness to help comprehend God’s intentions.

“But… the increase in my overall strength brought by the Iron Clothing Technique is already very small.”

After looking inward for a while, Fang Xi felt helpless again.

The superposition of Zhenli martial arts is not as simple and crude as one plus one.

If the first breakthrough of Red Snake Leg increased the true power by ten, the second breakthrough of White Cloud Palm increased the true power by four to five at most.

Of course, with the power increasing by 40% to 50%, the strength has already doubled.

But… after that, Fang Xi searched for martial arts and chose a ‘Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Technique’. After mastering it, his true strength increased by only about two.

By now, the breakthrough in Iron Armor Skill has increased the overall Zhenli by less than one percent…

“In fact, this is how it should be. The total amount of human energy and blood is limited, so there must be a limit… Otherwise, if a warrior keeps stacking martial arts, wouldn’t he be invincible?”

“But in fact, the benefits of this mixed martial arts approach will become lower and lower, and finally approach zero… On the contrary, the problem of qi and blood conflict in the warrior’s body will continue to intensify!”

Suddenly, a few abnormal red spots appeared on Fang Xi’s face, but he quickly suppressed them.

“I have used my spiritual sense to look inward and have tried my best to choose martial arts that do not conflict with each other, but I have reached my limit… If I continue like this, the gains will not outweigh the losses.”

Not only that, Fang Xi also relied on his terrifying ability of inner vision to fine-tune the four techniques to make the circulation of qi and blood more coordinated and reduce conflicts.

If a warrior from the Daliang world had practiced to his current level, he would most likely be riddled with numerous illnesses…

“Fortunately… after stacking four martial arts, my true energy can now cover most parts of my body.”

In Daliang martial arts, the three changes of Qi and blood are all the stages of laying the foundation, collectively known as ”
martial arts apprentices”! To comprehend the divine intention and integrate the true power is to become a “martial artist”! It is comparable to the first level of body refining, that is, the cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining!

After the true strength is formed, the true strength will cover the whole body, training the internal organs, limbs and bones… waiting for the true strength to be generated! This is a true strength martial artist!

A True Strength Martial Artist is already comparable to a cultivator at the second stage of Body Refining, that is, a cultivator at the middle stage of Qi Refining!

Fang Xi is now trying his best to reach the point where his whole body is covered with true energy through the superposition of martial arts, thus tempering his entire body.

The White Cloud Palm mainly trains the palms and arms, the Red Snake Leg trains the legs, the Iron Armor Palm covers the main torso, and the Heaven Vision and Earth Hearing Palm is a relatively unconventional method that increases eyesight and hearing, and has the effect of hammering the head.

“Unfortunately… we are still missing a True Force technique. Mu Canglong is only a True Force warrior after all, so most of the specific operations are just guesses…”

Fang Xi lowered his eyelids: “The fattened Yuanheshan branch should also be slaughtered.”

Although he knew that Yuanhe Mountain was in the Nanchengmen District, he never took action.

This was mainly because Linghu Yang’s martial arts had already reached the level of a true strength martial artist, comparable to a cultivator at the second level of body refinement.

Although they don’t have as many methods as the monks, they are not easy to kill either.

To be on the safe side, he still needs to increase his strength to its current limit before making any plans.

Besides… Black Stone City is now a big cage, and Linghu Yang can’t escape! So there is no need to rush.

Anyway, as time goes by, the one whose strength grows the fastest must be Fang Xi!

…

Qingzhushan Market.

Danding Pavilion.

“Does this fellow Taoist want to buy some elixirs?”

When Zhuo Luting saw a guest with his face covered coming to his door, he walked towards him with a smile, without any change in his expression.

Cultivators generally prefer not to show off their wealth, and many of them try to conceal their identities.

“A certain family wants to buy a type of elixir that mainly solves several problems with the circulation of qi and blood in the body…”

Fang Xi spoke in a hoarse voice and stated his request.

His body shape has now been strengthened through several breakthroughs in martial arts and is very different from before.

In addition, his face was covered, so unless this Zhuo Luting was a foundation-building cultivator, it would be impossible to recognize him.

Even if the other party recognized him, it didn’t seem to matter…

Zhuo Luting listened to the request with a smile on his face: “The customer wants to buy a pill to resolve the conflict between different qi and blood? This kind of pill is not available in our pavilion…”

“No?” Fang Xi felt a little disappointed.

At this time, Zhuo Luting continued to smile and said, “Although there is no such thing, if you only want to solve the conflict between refining Qi and cultivating Qi and blood, you can ask our alchemist to make a tailor-made pill for you…but the price…”

“A certain family doesn’t have that many spirit stones.”

Fang Xi sighed.

In fact, he had known the solution a long time ago. For example, he could ask the pharmacist of Danding Pavilion to examine his body, diagnose himself, prescribe medicine, and then let the alchemist make the medicine according to the symptoms. The problem of qi and blood conflict could be easily solved.

But firstly, he is not a direct descendant of the Foundation Establishment Family, so he does not have that much face and so many spirit stones.

Secondly, if someone carefully examines your body, it will inevitably reveal your special abilities, and you may even need to hand over your skills to the other person, which is absolutely unacceptable.

So he didn’t hesitate any more and turned around to leave.

At this time, Zhuo Luting said, “If you don’t want a cure, Luting has a temporary solution!”

“Oh? What do you mean by treating the symptoms but not the root cause?”

Fang Xi stopped and stared at Zhuo Luting with a gleam in his eyes.

“According to what you have described, the conflict between Qi and blood is only a minor problem. As long as the foundation is strong, it won’t be a big deal. Just like water conquers fire, but how can a drop of water put out a mountain fire…” Zhuo Luting introduced: “This attic has ‘Qi and Blood Pills’, which are ranked as the first-class intermediate grade. They are mainly used for physical cultivation. They can increase the essence and blood in the body of the cultivator and improve the foundation… If the foundation is solid, even if there is a slight problem, it will not affect the subsequent improvement. However, this only covers up the problem, not the root cause. In the next great realm, the problem will inevitably become more serious…”

“Qi and blood pill?”

Fang Xi’s voice remained steady, but his thoughts were racing.

This Qi and Blood Pill can actually increase the upper limit of a person’s total Qi and blood. In the Daliang world, it is an unparalleled elixir for improving martial arts aptitude!

In other words, if Fang Xi had taken a Qi and Blood Pill, perhaps he wouldn’t be considered a martial arts loser…

“What this female cultivator said makes sense…”

“If my total amount of Qi and blood increases, I can at least practice a few more martial arts…”

“As long as the body has a strong foundation, even if the qi and blood in the body conflict, as long as it can be suppressed, it will not be a big deal…”

“Maybe I will be able to break through to the martial arts master level before the hidden danger breaks out?”

Fang Xi thought about it and nodded in agreement: “How much is this Qi and Blood Pill?”

The price of a first-grade intermediate-quality elixir must be higher than that of the Qingling Pill.

He already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhuo Luting’s face showed a trace of excitement, and he opened his red lips and said, “Five spirit stones for one pill.”

…

“Damn Danding Pavilion…stealing spirit stones…”

In the shantytown, Fang Xi looked at the blood-red pill in his hand, and his face fell.

For this Qi and Blood Pill, he not only spent all his money, but also sold all the spiritual rice he had stored, and borrowed four spiritual stones from Chen Ping, Di Qi and others!
He also agreed to pay it back in one month, and he had to pay back five!

“When I have enough spirit stones, I will take one Qi and Blood Pill after another…”

Fang Xi secretly became ruthless, then swallowed the Qi and Blood Pill in one gulp, closed his eyes and used his magic power to refine it.

Soon, he felt the power of the elixir taking effect, and his whole body felt warm.

The previous feeling of tension in all parts of his body disappeared, replaced by a feeling of relief.

“Sure enough, the Qi and Blood Pill works!”

A hint of joy appeared in Fang Xi’s eyes.

“The so-called conflict of qi and blood, if the human body is compared to a house, then there are several beasts in the house. The territory is too small, so it is inevitable that conflicts and frictions will arise, and they will attack each other and then collapse the house…”

“The principle of the Qi and Blood Pill is to reinforce and enlarge the room… Although there are still ferocious beasts, it is not easy for the room to collapse…”

“Since the beasts still exist, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.”

After a long time.

Fang Xi stood up and looked at the dark filth that seeped out of his body, which was mixed with blood. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and went outside to get some water to wash it off.

After his body and mind were refreshed, he changed into clean clothes, lay on a bamboo chair, and looked up at the night sky: “How long has it been… since I put everything aside and took a good look at this starry sky.”

With the spiritual consciousness and elixirs of a cultivator, the so-called “no way forward” is a joke to him.

But it was not until this moment that Fang Xi felt a sense of relief after being truly certain.

In this silence, he seemed to hear the sound of a flowing river.

When Fang Xi got serious, he realized that the sound of the stream came from his body. It was… the sound of his blood flowing.

Crackling!

A series of explosions came from his body. Every joint sounded like frying beans, and his muscles and bones made a sound!

“Is this… the true power entering the bones and starting to refine the marrow?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

At this point, the true power has entered an extremely high realm and is only one step away from generating true power on its own!
