Nanyang County

A white sword shadow flashed, and Bai Ze's long sword was already sheathed again.

On the neck of the man on horseback before them, a deep blood hole was left.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, clutching the continuously bleeding wound as he fell to the ground. He never expected Bai Ze to actually make a move, and so quickly at that.

Even Li Qiuyu on his back was startled by this masterful Sword Drawing Technique.

However, she didn't say anything. If she hadn't been severely injured and unable to move, she probably would have acted herself.

Bai Ze flipped onto the horse, held Li Qiuyu in his arms, and sped towards Nanyang County.

After all, during the past few years with the Black Tiger Gang, he had no psychological burden from killing and robbing.

He had originally wanted to buy the other party's horse, but he couldn't blame anyone else for seeking his own death.

Night quietly fell.

Under the cover of darkness, Bai Ze and the other person had entered Nanyang County.

It was already past midnight. Every household had its doors tightly shut, and lights were few and far between.

This was Nanyang County. If it were Pingfeng City, the city gates probably wouldn't even be open at this hour.

Li Qiuyu glanced around and pointed forward, saying, "Go this way. The Li Family's business is over there."

"Okay."

As they spoke, Bai Ze didn't hesitate and rode the horse quickly forward.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a shop with the words "Li Family's Business" written in large characters above it.

"Dong."

"Dong."

"Dong."

As Bai Ze repeatedly knocked, the shop assistant inside heard the sound and lit a lamp.

Simultaneously, an impatient voice came from within.

"Who is it? If you have something to do this late at night, come back tomorrow."

"Get lost! If you knock again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing this, Bai Ze didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Li Qiuyu beside him.

Her expression was also a bit displeased, but she still suppressed her anger and said, "Open the door quickly and have Li Dong come out immediately. Say that someone from the Li Family of Pingfeng City has arrived."

"Clang."

Clearly, after hearing this, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside.

After all, they didn't know who was outside, but they knew about the Li Family of Pingfeng City and their manager here, Li Dong!

Without even properly putting on his clothes, he hurriedly opened the shop door.

Seeing Bai Ze and Li Qiuyu, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly invited them in, respectfully asking, "Are you two from the Li Family?"

"That's right. Where is Li Dong?"

"Shopkeeper Li will be here shortly. Please wait."

The subordinates below didn't recognize Li Qiuyu, but Li Dong, who rushed over after receiving the news, did!

He hurried over and said respectfully, "Eldest Young Lady, what brings you here...?"

"Quick, get all the physicians here, quickly!"

"Yes, yes."

The shop assistant nearby didn't dare to hesitate and immediately went to fetch people.

At this moment, Li Qiuyu had regained her composure as the Eldest Young Lady and said sternly, "Prepare some food and arrange two rooms immediately."

"This is my best friend. If he has any needs, you must do your best to satisfy them."

"Yes, yes."

Hearing this, Li Dong nodded quickly, indicating there were no problems.

Seeing this, Bai Ze didn't say anything more.

After being examined by the summoned physicians, his wounds were redressed and bandaged. He ate some food and returned to the room that had already been prepared.

Li Dong wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn't speak.

A moment later, Li Qiuyu personally wrote a letter and handed it to him, asking him to deliver it back to the Li Family as soon as possible.

At the same time, she warned him to be wary of the Blood Wolf's movements and not to be discovered by them.

Li Dong understood the urgency of the matter and, without any hesitation, personally set off to deliver the letter.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze, back in his room, didn't rest immediately.

After checking his wounds again, he muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to encounter a congenital martial artist just after leaving Changqing County."

"It seems I need to hurry and speed up my blood-changing process to break through to the Inner Qi Realm."

"However, my current blood-changing speed is ultimately too slow. I'll have to ask Li Qiuyu tomorrow if there are any other methods."

Although Bai Ze wanted to break through to the Innate realm as quickly as possible, it didn't want to do so carelessly.

It was best to reach the extreme of the Blood Changing Realm before breaking through, as this would result in even greater strength.

The next day, After a night of rest, Bai Ze had just come downstairs when Li Qiuyu also walked down from upstairs.

Although she had been severely injured before, after treatment, as long as she didn't get into a fight with anyone, ordinary walking was not a problem.

She sat down beside him, gave Bai Ze a deep look, and then spoke, "I've already sent someone to notify the family. I believe they'll send someone over soon."

"You were going to Pingfeng City first anyway. You can come back with me then."

"And this time, you saved me. You can ask for anything you need."

"Okay."

Bai Ze didn't refuse. After all, that was his original plan.

After Li Qiuyu finished speaking, silence fell over the room once more.

Li Qiuyu's heart was still quite conflicted. It was true that he had saved her, but he had also seen her naked.

Just as she was about to say something else, Bai Ze directly voiced his thoughts.

Hearing this, Li Qiuyu looked at him and said seriously, "You want to speed up your blood-changing process?"

"That's right. Are there any methods?"

"Yes."

Li Qiuyu immediately replied without much thought, "Normally, people cultivate using Blood Changing Pills. Of course, there are also specific blood-changing techniques to speed up the process."

"However, whether it's Blood Changing Pills or specialized techniques, the help they provide is limited."

"For example, with Blood Changing Pills, after your blood-changing reaches a certain level, they won't have any effect anymore."

"While blood-changing techniques don't reach that point, their effects will also gradually weaken."

Hearing this, Bai Ze nodded, understanding the situation.

If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many martial artists breaking through to the Inner Qi Realm prematurely.

Most of them would reach their limit in blood-changing, and when progress became negligible, they would break through because further delay would be futile.

At this moment, Bai Ze also asked about his curiosity, "Have any martial artists managed to convert all the blood in their bodies while in the Blood Changing Realm?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know either?"

"Mm."
