Qi Blood Perfection, Comprehending Runes

Without hesitation, Lu Qing started teaching the two little ones to recognize characters after finishing breakfast.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless..."

Lu Qing held a small wooden stick and wrote in a basin of sand while reading it aloud to them.

He had never tutored children in his previous life, so he could only teach them slowly according to his own understanding.

Not knowing what the world's primers were like, he taught them little by little, based on the Thousand Character Classic he had learned.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li are both very intelligent, and even though Lu Qing's teaching was clumsy, they were still able to remember it quickly.

Of course, I only recognize it; I can't write it or understand its meaning.

"Alright, now that you two recognize these characters, you can try to write them on your own."

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Li had both remembered, Lu Qing brought over two basins of sand and placed them in front of them.

If a schoolteacher saw this, he would probably get so angry he'd fall ill.

How can you teach children to recognize characters like this? On their first day of learning, you're cramming them with this kind of rote learning. Aren't you worried that the children won't be able to learn it all?

But right now, only Lu Qing and the two little ones are in the room.

Both sides were willing to teach and learn. After hearing Lu Qing's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li began to seriously learn to write.

Xiao Yan held a small wooden stick, first looking at the words her brother wrote, and then using the stick to copy them on the sand basin.

Xiao Li was in a bit of trouble. It only had claws, and after a few tries, it found it very inconvenient to hold the stick. In the end, it simply threw the stick away and stretched out a sharp claw to write on the sand basin.

Lu Qing found it somewhat amusing, but did not stop them.

It's really too much to ask a small animal to hold a pen and write.

Just as the two little ones were diligently learning to write, a voice came from outside. "A Qing."

"Master, what brings you here?"

Lu Qing went out to greet them, surprised.

"I've finished making the Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill you need, and I'll bring them to you," Old Doctor Chen said with a smile.

"How could I let you, Master, deliver it personally? I should be the one to go and get it," Lu Qing said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Why should we, master and disciple, bother with these things? I've been sitting in the Medicine Room for a few days, so I'm just getting some fresh air."

The Old Doctor walked into the room.

"Grandpa Chen!"

Xiao Yan greeted them politely, and even Xiao Li called out to her.

"Hmm, sweetie, what are you doing?"

The Old Doctor was curious when he saw the two little ones sitting in front of their respective sandboxes.

"My brother is teaching us to recognize characters, and we're learning to write them!" Xiao Yan said happily.

"You can read?" The Old Doctor was even more puzzled and looked at Lu Qing.

It's understandable to teach Xiao Yan to recognize characters, but why is Xiao Li sitting so obediently?

Lu Qing said apologetically, "I had nothing to do, and I thought that Xiao Yan was getting on in years and should start learning to read, so I taught her a little. I didn't expect Xiao Li to be so interested, so I taught her too."

Old Doctor Chen looked at Xiao Li in surprise, not expecting the Black Little Beast to have such a thirst for knowledge, which was far superior to that of many human children.

Little did he know that the reason the two little ones were so eager to learn to read was entirely because Lu Qing had captivated them with his stories, sparking their interest in learning to read.

"It's good to be able to read. Most of the knowledge in the world is hidden in books. If you can read, you can learn many principles on your own in the future," the Old Doctor said with satisfaction.

"Grandpa Chen, are there many interesting stories in the book?" Xiao Yan asked with great interest.

Xiao Li also looked over.

The Old Doctor was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, many traditional Chinese stories are also very good."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and they became even more enthusiastic about writing.

Lu Qing was embarrassed and quickly diverted his master's attention. "Master, you said the Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill are all ready?"

"Good, it's finished." The Old Doctor nodded and took out several large medicine bottles. "They're all here. I've already categorized the pills according to their medicinal effects. These two bottles are made from Ginseng that's less than two hundred years old, this bottle is from three hundred years old, and this bottle is from that five-hundred-year-old Treasure Ginseng. Keep them safe."

After Lu Qing accepted the pill, the Old Doctor said, "A Qing, although the pill is good, you must be careful when taking it. All medicines have some toxicity. No matter how good the pill is, you must pay attention to the dosage. You must not harm your body because you are eager for quick results."

"Disciple has remembered," Lu Qing said earnestly.

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer. Let's go back up the mountain first."

After delivering the medicine, the Old Doctor felt relieved and immediately said...

"Master, you've been refining pills for me for several days now, you probably haven't even had a proper meal, have you? How about I cook you a simple meal?"

Seeing that his master was leaving so soon, Lu Qing quickly said.

"No need, I've already eaten. These past few days, while refining pills, I've been pondering the Innate Method you gave me and have gained some insights. I'll go back and go into seclusion for a while. You can continue teaching Xiao Yan and the others to read." The Old Doctor refused.

Seeing that his master had said so, Lu Qing had no choice but to give up.

After all, insights are rare, and he was genuinely afraid of interrupting his master's comprehension.

After his master left, Lu Qing saw that Xiao Yan and the other girl were still writing diligently, so he didn't disturb them. He went to the courtyard, took out a hundred-year-old Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill, swallowed it, and began to cultivate.

After swallowing the pill, its effects quickly spread throughout his body. Lu Qing assumed a boxing stance and began practicing the first nine forms of the Body Nourishing Fist.

Lu Qing's Body Nourishing Fist has undergone many changes compared to before.

During his trip into the mountains, Lu Qing gained a great opportunity. He not only received the inheritance of Li Weitian, a top expert with Innate Perfection, but also obtained the cultivation method of Runic Path.

Although these two inheritances did not directly improve his strength, they greatly broadened his horizons.

This gave him a completely new understanding of the path of cultivation.

This also deepened my understanding of Body Nourishing Fist.

As Lu Qing moved, his movements were devoid of any trace of frivolity, yet brimming with vitality. Just watching him brought a sense of peace and relaxation to the viewer.

It perfectly embodies the concept of "nourishment" in the Body Nourishing Fist.

If the Old Doctor were here, he would be astonished to see Lu Qing's boxing skills.

Because Lu Qing's mastery of the first nine forms of this Body Nourishing Fist is no less than his.

Lu Qing's improved mastery of the Body Nourishing Fist greatly accelerated his refining speed of the Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill.

Before long, he completely refined the Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill, transforming it into his own Blood Qi Power.

Without hesitation, he took another pill from the medicine bottle, swallowed it, and continued his cultivation.

Lu Qing's martial arts realm had long since reached the point of Qi Blood Perfection; all he lacked was the Blood Qi Power.

Therefore, refining pills continuously was not a problem for him at all.

What he needs to be careful about is not refining too many Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pills in one day, giving his body a buffer period to adapt.

However, refining a few Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill a day will not cause any problems.

Lu Qing was cultivating in the courtyard when some passing villagers saw him and couldn't help but stop and watch, their eyes filled with envy.

But no one dared to disturb him.

Lu Qing now holds a very high position in Nine Li Village.

Putting aside his strength to kill people with a flick of his wrist, the silver he distributed to the village before was enough to make the whole village remember his kindness.

So when they saw Lu Qing practicing his martial arts, no one dared to disturb him.

In the days that followed, Lu Qing's life became very regular.

Every day, besides paying my respects to my master and learning some medical skills, I also...

He spent most of his other time cultivating and refining Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill.

The rest of the time was spent teaching Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to read.

Occasionally, I would go fishing to supplement Xiao Li's food supply.

It's worth mentioning that since catching those two Golden Loach, Lu Qing has never been able to catch any more of these unusual fish.

It's unclear whether he caught all the strange fish in the river or became wary.

This meant that Lu Qing was unable to fulfill the promise he had made to Xiao Li.

And so, time flew by.

As Xiao Yan and Xiao Li learned more and more characters, Lu Qing's martial arts skills also increased rapidly.

On the seventh day after Xiao Yan and the others began to learn to read, Lu Qing reached the stage of Qi Blood Realm Major Accomplishment.

Fifteen days after learning to read, in the Back Mountain Bamboo Forest.

Lu Qing, who was cultivating, trembled all over as a huge surge of Blood Qi Power rose up, moving freely with his will, gathering and dispersing at will, perfectly harmonious and flawless.

"Finally, Qi Blood Realm Completion."

Lu Qing opened her eyes, her face filled with joy.

After cultivating continuously for half a month and consuming most of the Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill, he finally raised the Blood Qi Power in his body to its limit, reaching the state of Qi Blood Perfection.

Next, once he has rested for a while and fully mastered the power of Qi Blood Perfection, he can try to break through to the Tendons and Bones Realm.

"This martial arts cultivation is truly a money-devouring beast."

Looking at the medicine bottle placed beside him, Lu Qing sighed.

In half a month, one can progress from Qi Blood Minor Achievement to Qi Blood Perfection.

If other Martial Artist knew about this cultivation speed, they would probably be astonished.

But Lu Qing didn't think it was anything special.

In the past two weeks, he has swallowed countless Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pills.

If all these pills were replaced with silver, they could probably kill several people in the Tendons and Bones Realm by smashing them.

With so many resources piled up, if his martial arts progress isn't fast, then he'll really be cultivating like a pig.

"However, because of consuming the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid Elixir, my potential has been greatly enhanced, and the amount of Blood Qi Power I can accommodate far exceeds that of ordinary Qi Blood Realm."

"The Blood Qi Power is now probably several times that of an ordinary Martial Artist at the same level who Qi Blood Perfection."

Feeling the harmonious and satisfying Blood Qi Power within his body, Lu Qing was very satisfied.

Earth Vein Spirit Liquid is, after all, a spiritual object created by Mysterious Existence beyond the Innate Realm, and its effect on improving aptitude is quite powerful.

If Heart-Picking Wolf were to be resurrected and face him again, what would happen?

He was confident that he could kill him with a single punch without even using a knife, and wouldn't need to make a second move.

Even if someone at the same level of Qi Blood Realm Completion is not a martial arts genius with equally amazing talent, they would probably have a hard time withstanding a few of his moves.

"I just don't know how much of a chance I would have against Ma Gu right now."

Lu Qing remembered that Ma Gu's martial arts realm was the initial stage of the Tendons and Bones Realm.

It belongs to the bottom tier of the Tendons and Bones Realm.

In the path of martial arts, there are huge gaps between each realm.

Logically speaking, even the weakest Tendons and Bones Realm should be stronger than the Qi Blood Realm.

But in this world, many things are simply illogical.

Some exceptionally talented martial arts geniuses are able to cross that chasm and fight beyond their level.

Lu Qing didn't know if his current aptitude qualified him as a martial arts genius.

Therefore, he was unsure whether he was qualified to fight Ma Gu.

"Perhaps, I should find an opportunity to spar with Ma Gu?"

The idea was barely formed when Lu Qing immediately rejected it.

His current strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Qi Blood Realm Completion Martial Artist, so it is not advisable to reveal it yet.

Otherwise, it's hard to say that it won't arouse unfounded speculation from others.

Something unusual must be going on; no one is truly a fool.

It's astonishing that he was able to cultivate to the Qi Blood Perfection in such a short time.

But this can also be explained by talent for cultivation.

If he were to also display extraordinary Blood Qi Power, even a fool would know that something was wrong with him.

Even if others couldn't guess the existence of the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, they would probably guess that he had obtained some kind of heaven-defying elixir.

At that time, I'm afraid all sorts of troubles will follow.

Lu Qing is not yet capable of resisting such trouble.

"For now, we should keep a low profile. Once I reach the Inner Organs Realm, or when Master breaks through to the Innate Realm, we won't have to fear most of the forces in the world."

Lu Qing set a goal for himself.

At the same time, I must remind myself that I must never become arrogant just because I have gained some strength.

The Qi Blood Realm is merely the first stage on the path of martial arts; he still has a long way to go.

If they get carried away now, how will they ever reach the pinnacle of martial arts?

After reflecting on himself for a while, Lu Qing calmed down his excitement about the breakthrough and regained his usual composure.

He sat down cross-legged, slowly regulated his breathing, then activated his Supernatural Ability, entering a state of Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing, and took out a Broken Silver from his pocket.

During this period, he spent most of his time refining Blood Replenishing and Qi Boosting Pill to break through his martial arts realm.

My understanding of the Rune Dao has decreased considerably.

Now that you've broken through to the next level, it will take some time to prepare before you can enter the Tendons and Bones Realm.

Now I can continue to study the Rune Dao.

Holding the Broken Silver in his hands, Lu Qing observed them with Mind Stabilization and Heart Cleansing.

During this period, he did not spend too much time comprehending the Rune Dao, but he still occasionally studied the patterns on the silver.

He had a feeling that if he studied it carefully one more time, he would be able to fully understand the patterns on the silver.

A gentle mountain breeze rustled through the bamboo grove.

Sunlight quietly streamed down through the gaps in the bamboo.

Everything seemed so relaxed and carefree.

In this environment, Lu Qing quietly pondered the mysterious patterns on the silver.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight gradually slanted, but Lu Qing remained motionless, staring intently at the silver.

Finally, as dusk approached, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
