Blood Exchange Pills, Blood Coagulation Pills

By 3:45 Shen Time, the crowd of people registering for the Martial Arts School had thinned out.

Liang Qu held the pen with his five fingers, wrote his name, and let it dry before setting it aside.

He had a thick stack of registration books on hand, with at least a hundred applicants.

Each person's minimum wage is seven taels, with a guaranteed minimum of one thousand taels of silver. If calculated based on the middle wage of twenty taels, that would be three thousand taels.

Several students I had met at the academy had signed up, saying they wanted to develop in the direction of being well-rounded in both literature and martial arts, and they all chose the highest tier of fifty taels.

No wonder Pang Qinghe came to challenge him, even throwing down three hundred Silver Note after losing.

With fame comes a steady stream of wealth.

Xiang ChangSong walked out of the main gate, picked up the teapot on the table, poured water, drank three cups in a row, and let out a big sigh, "I'm so thirsty, my mouth is so dry from talking so much. Let's go, let's go, to Master's residence, to Breaking Blood Barrier!"

"Okay." Liang Qu tidied up the paper and pen.

The first three trials for Martial Artist are not dangerous, but the fourth trial involves the blood and veins of the entire body. A slight mistake can lead to death, making it the most dangerous trial.

He might even need the help of three Blood Coagulation Pill and three Blood Exchange Pill to pass the test smoothly. He needs to go and broaden his horizons.

Hu Qi finished packing his things and turned around to say, "Li LiBo, Chen Jiechang, you two help keep an eye on the Martial Arts School!"

"Okay, Senior Brother Hu." *2 Last time, when no one was at the Martial Arts School, Hu Qi temporarily asked Lu Shaohui to fill in, and the incident that happened is still fresh in his memory.

This taught him a lesson.

Those who learn martial arts Blood Qi, and many of them are illiterate; they are sent in by their families with some surplus wealth.

When seventeen or eighteen-year-olds get together, trouble is most likely to happen, so you have to find people you can trust.

Li LiBo and Chen Jiechang are about to the Breaking Skin Realm. They are good at keeping the new apprentice in check, and they are honest and upright people, so they are suitable.

It's all thanks to Liang Qu. Li and Chen had already completed three months of training, but Liang Qu used the excuse of recruiting assistants for the Martial Arts School to keep them here.

With the expansion of the Martial Arts School, there are often more than a hundred people. Hu Qi, Xiang ChangSong, and Liang Qu alone cannot take care of them all.

Currently, we only receive meals, not wages. We will only receive a monthly allowance of three taels of silver after we break through the current level.

Quiet Room of the Yang Residence.

Xiang ChangSong sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing only a pair of wide black trousers, breathing in and out his vital energy.

A moment later, he swallowed a fiery red pill.

Liang Qu kept his eyes glued to the screen, learning from the advanced experiences.

The fiery red pill is Blood Invigoration Pill, mixed with horn powder from Bullhorn Pomfret, which can activate the blood throughout the body and prepare for Breaking Blood Barrier barrier.

After the warm-up, we can finally get down to business.

Xiang ChangSong let out a long breath, opened the medicine bottle, and swallowed another fiery red pill. This pill was larger than the previous one, but it was not Blood Invigoration Pill; it was Greater Blood Exchange Pill!

The Blood Exchange Pill also contains powdered Bullhorn Pomfret horn as Medicinal Guide, but the two have completely different pharmacological effects, and can fully activate a person's blood.

To Breaking Blood Barrier, first consume the Blood Exchange Pill, then the Blood Coagulation Pill, and repeat this process three times.

In his perception, Xiang ChangSong took the Blood Exchange Pill. Within a few breaths, his body's energy suddenly intensified, and Qi and Blood red glow emanated from his body, causing the airflow in the Quiet Room to churn, almost becoming a wind.

Xiang ChangSong's skin was flushed, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and his breathing was rapid.

Yang Dongxiong shouted, "Pierce Yangming, Release Blood Qi."

Xiang ChangSong frowned slightly, his breathing gradually calmed down, and his chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm.

His crimson skin turned even redder, and a strong smell of blood suddenly rose in the Quiet Room, which was filled with a faint fragrance of incense. The source was Xiang ChangSong!

A horrifying scene unfolded.

Large beads of blood rolled down his crimson skin, seeping from his pores! But no one was shocked; this was the blood transfusion Guanzhong.

Three Surges and Three Coagulations!

Three times, fresh blood gushed out; three times, the blood congealed!

All of these must be completed in one go, within one hour!

A normal person will feel weak in the limbs and pale if they lose 20% of their blood, and their life will be in danger if they lose 30%.

Losing 100% of one's blood will surely lead to death! Without the foundation of the first three stages, one will die instantly after just one surge! The first three stages for Martial Artist are all preparations for the Three Surges and Three Coagulations.

The blood, like congealed dew, rolled down, but dried on the skin before it could fall due to the high temperature, forming a thick scab.

Half an incense stick later, Xiang ChangSong's breath became extremely weak. He tremblingly raised his hand, and blood scabs fell off his body in a flurry as he swallowed the Blood Coagulation Pill with difficulty.

A surge of emotion welled up in my throat as the pill entered my abdomen.

The aura that Xiang ChangSong to fall to the bottom of the valley gradually rose again.

Until his breathing stabilized, the intensity was twice as strong as it had been at the beginning! Xiang ChangSong took the second Blood Exchange Pill, and the scene was exactly the same as before, with the bloody smell in the Quiet Room becoming even stronger.

The ground around them was covered with a thick layer of scabs, like a pine cone peeled off, with layers of scales.

Then came the second Blood Coagulation Pill, the third Blood Exchange Pill, and the third Blood Coagulation Pill, repeated three times, each time causing Xiang ChangSong's aura to rapidly increase.

If a psychologically fragile person were to witness this, they would likely be terrified, their liver and gallbladder ruptured, their body covered in blood—a truly horrifying sight. The feeling of helplessness and impending death after the bleeding would be like falling into an abyss.

That's why Breaking Blood Barrier requires someone to look after you, provide you with mental support, and prevent accidents so you don't die silently.

Yang Dongxiong invited Liang Qu to observe as a precaution, to familiarize him with the process.

When Xiang ChangSong's Qi and Blood recovered for the third time, the intensity of his aura had tripled! In Martial Artist contest, the one with the longest qi lives, and the one with the shortest qi dies!

If he can't catch his breath, he might be killed on the spot!

But once the Blood Barrier is broken, it's like being adorned with flowers and brocade, or being cooked in a raging fire; one's strength is inexhaustible and inexhaustible!

Xiang ChangSong slightly shook his neck, and chunks of scabs fell off, shattering into powder on the ground. Finally, he opened his eyes, a sharp light seeming to shoot out. "It's done!"

"Good!"

Congratulations, senior brother!

Congratulations, junior brother!

Everyone smiled, stood up to offer their congratulations, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost everyone present had been through Blood Barrier, so how could they not know the dangers involved?

Now that they have crossed this threshold, they are true Martial Master, and everyone is genuinely happy for Xiang ChangSong.

Xiang ChangSong stood up from the ground, and with a surge of energy, he shattered all the clumps of blood scabs, revealing his original appearance.

The Blood Qi that had been emanating from the body were completely contained, not weakened, but strengthened. This was a manifestation of the condensation of Qi and Blood, and would no longer be revealed unless deliberately stimulated.

He clenched his Fist, his excitement evident.

Xu Zishuai grabbed Xiang ChangSong's shoulder and said, "Don't be so happy yet. Go take a shower and wash off the smell of blood. Then go eat. I've been starving all day and I've been waiting for your meal! I'm going to fleece you!"

"Of course, it's my treat today, so please order whatever you'd like to eat!"

Xiang ChangSong, beaming with excitement, ran out of the Quiet Room.

He was also uncomfortable, covered in the smell of blood.

The flowing water crashed against the rocks, creating splashes.

"How does it feel to have a blood transfusion?"

"It's so uncomfortable, I really feel like I'm going to die. I have no strength at all, and I almost couldn't swallow the pills."

"Haha, it must have been awesome to beat the level."

"Yeah, I feel so much lighter, and my breathing is easier."

"Now Xiao Jiu is the only one among us who isn't Martial Master. We need to hurry! Maybe we can have another meal together this year."

Liang Qu and the others approached the South Stone Bridge, Xu Zishuai, who was joking around, spotted them and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Pang Qinghe?"

"Really? They're eating at Lang Yun Tower too?"

"They saw us."

No one expected it to be such a coincidence; they had met at noon and then bumped into each other again in the evening.

On the other side, Pang Qinghe also noticed Yang Dongxiong and his group.

After noticing the gaze, Kou Zhuang scratched the back of his head, gave a sheepish grin, and showed his face with bruises.

"Master Pang is also dining at Lang Yun Tower?"

Pang Qinghe smiled awkwardly, "Yes, everyone has worked hard today, so I took my apprentices out for a good meal. That's perfect. I've offended you a lot today, so please take this meal off my plate, Master Yang."

"Master Pang, there's no need for you to go to such lengths." Yang Dongxiong shook his head. "Today is the day my eighth disciple Breaking Blood Barrier, so we're here to celebrate."

"That's wonderful news. I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer."

The two exchanged a few brief words without much further pleasantries.

Liang Qu and his group entered the private room and excitedly ordered dishes.

"Wow, there are quite a few new dishes!"

Dangtou bowed and smiled, "It's all thanks to Master Yang. There are more and more shops in town. Ingredients that were rare before can now be found every few days. So we've added them to the menu, and there are also all kinds of Spirit Monster meat. Gentlemen, please have a taste?"

"Alright, I'm going to make Eighth Junior Brother bleed badly!"

Xiang ChangSong welcomed everyone without hesitation, waving his hand generously. "Bring it on, my pockets are bulging!"

"Bring the wine first, ten jars of Drunken Immortal Brew! One jar for each person!"

"Okay!"

"Give me half of this Mangosteen Pig!"

Martial Artist eat in Martial Artist style. They have big appetites and can't order every dish. They usually order half of a dish and let the chefs use their skills to prepare it.

"Is Senior Brother Xu trying to save me money? Why eat half a head? If you're going to eat, eat the whole head!"

"Okay! One then, I'll try this one too."

"Okay, okay, let's have something vegetarian, otherwise it's too greasy."

The atmosphere inside the private room was lively.

One jar of fine wine after another was served, and various dishes were also brought out one after another by the chefs.

The sounds of bowls and plates filled his ears, but Liang Qu didn't stand on ceremony and buried his head in his food, figuring it would be his turn eventually anyway.

Compared to the meal the Fishing Wharf had treated us to before, this meal was indeed much more lavish.

Big places definitely have their advantages; you won't find these things in those remote, hidden corners.

An hour later, Xiang ChangSong, feeling dizzy, leaned against the wall to pay the bill.

"What? It's already been arranged?"

"Yes, Young Master Xiang, it's the Martial Master master who came with you that you got married."

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiang ChangSong held his head and, after a while, returned to the private room to inform Yang Dongxiong.

"He's quite a clever fellow." Yang Dongxiong shook his head after hearing this, then turned to Liang Qu, "How long until you Bone Barrier Breakthrough?"

"Within the next two days."

"Once you break through the barrier, we'll go explore the little lake you mentioned."
