Liang Qu sat cross-legged, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill. The entire Beast Head Great Pill was extremely heavy and fell down his esophagus into his stomach.

It's a bit hard on the throat.

Pills the size of eyeballs, if not chewed thoroughly, will cause choking if swallowed whole.

Liang Qu swallowed twice to relieve his discomfort, Qi Concealment his mind and focused on practicing his Cultivation Method.

When the pill first entered the abdomen, there was almost no reaction. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the gastric juices began to erode the pill, and the medicinal power slowly spread. A refreshing and warm sensation surged from the abdomen to the limbs and bones.

Liang Qu only ate one dinner last night before the operation, and has not eaten since.

Half a day of travel had left him with an empty stomach. The moment the medicine took effect, his hunger vanished, and a feeling of satisfaction washed over him after eating.

However, as the Qilin Great Pill was continuously digested, the medicinal power gradually became surging and overwhelming.

Liang Qu even experienced a feeling of "bloating"!

It's hot! So hot!

The dog days of summer are inherently unbearably hot, and all things become restless.

The effects of the Qilin Pill lie in further transforming the physical body; the surrounding heat is as if one is surrounded by boiling water, and all the pores on the body contract tightly.

Liang Qu felt as if he had stepped into Furnace, transforming into precious gold being forged, with raging fires burning both above and below.

Scorching heat emanated from his tightly closed pores, and a wave of heat surged from the cramped room! Awei detached his wrist, curled up into a basketball, and rolled into a corner. The ship timber, being baked, gradually turned black and emitted gray smoke. Liang Qu smelled this acrid odor and a thought struck him.

The Vortex Aperture opened, and the water flowed out.

A thin Water Membrane of water spreads out in all directions, forming a sphere that envelops the entire body and absorbs all the heat emitted.

However, in just a moment, the entire Water Membrane Fubo violently, with tiny bubbles rising and bursting, and a hissing sound echoed in the room.

The Water Membrane boiled!

How could there be no danger in consuming a powerful elixir capable of Flesh Refinement?

Left with no other choice, Liang Qu reopened the Vortex Aperture, and a brand new, more solid Water Membrane appeared.

Huff! Huff! Hot air gushed from his mouth and nose.

Liang Qu's emotions surged like hot oil, igniting a raging fire that burned his internal organs, flesh, bones, and tendons.

Under the surging power of the medicine, his blood seeped out of his pores at a visible speed, turning into bean-sized blood droplets, which then quickly dried on his skin, forming a thick layer of open-scaled blood cocoons.

The air was filled with scorching heat, and a faint, exotic fragrance wafted through the air.

Just as Liang Qu was draining all the blood from his body, his face turned pale, and he was completely powerless.

The Qilin Great Pill reversed its course, surging into the spine and continuously generating new blood.

Four blood transfusions!

Liang Qu has broken through four barriers and undergone three blood transfusions. Now, the Qilin Great Pill is enabling him to begin his fourth blood transfusion!

The four blood transfusions are the key to the birth of the Qilin Bright Spirit Force!

The newborn blood has an even stronger fragrance, is full of vitality, and surges like a living thing, filling the shriveled blood vessels and making the withered body moist and radiant!

The flow of blood further drives changes throughout the body's structure.

The muscles, bones, skin, flesh, and internal organs are further strengthened.

Every half-cup of tea's time, the Vortex Aperture reopens, and the Water Membrane gathers again.

Within the Water Orb, Liang Qu, this piece of pig iron forged by the raging fire, became increasingly compact, strong, and solid.

If someone were to brave the intense heat and press themselves against Liang Qu's body at this moment, they could even hear faint animal roars emanating from within him.

The Qilin Roar! Heaven and earth trembled, its sound like thunder.

Every tremor will further cleanse the body! At the same time, the once solid fifth acupoint of the galloping Galloping Horse — the Spinal Column Gate —is also constantly loosening under the bombardment of Qi and Blood.

Ordinary Martial Master often take three years to master a new skill and ten years to reach a new level of mastery, a period of arduous Galloping Horse that is often over halfway through life.

It implies that to reach the pinnacle of Galloping Horse, one must expend most of their life.

Unless someone lends a hand, or there is another fortuitous opportunity.

However, Liang Qu was clearly not among ordinary Martial Master. Not only him, but everyone he knew was extraordinary.

Impurities mixed in with the blood cocoon are expelled from the body, and waves of Qi and Blood and qi wash over the whole body one after another.

Boom! A fierce wind blew up inside, and twisting whirlpools appeared on the Water Membrane covering Liang Qu.

The flow of Qi and Blood was unstoppable, and the tightly closed fifth acupoint of the galloping Galloping Horse — the Spinal Column Gate —was suddenly opened!

The "Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness" and "Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Vajra Sutra" intertwine and connect to the fifth acupoint, giving rise to more complex and varied qi circulation routes.

In an instant, Liang Qu's entire demeanor and spirit changed dramatically!

An inexplicable "momentum" arises spontaneously, like a roc swallowing the ocean!

It is stronger and brighter than before! If the upper Dantian is the center of "intention" and the core of life activities, guarding it can prevent disease and prolong life, while losing it will lead to aging and death.

The middle Dantian is the center of "form". When this point is open, the mind is open and the body is relaxed, and the Qi Smooth Passage.

The lower Dantian is the center of "qi" (vital energy). If qi does not return to the center, it will disperse and float, and strength will lack foundation.

The Tail Vertebrae Gate is the center of "strength". When it is open, the upper and lower body Smooth Passage, the force can reach the limbs, and the strength of the whole body can be exerted.

Then the Spinal Column Gate, located between the scapulae and parallel to the "middle Dantian" in the spine, is the center of the "momentum"!

It is located at the junction of the two shoulders. In general, the shoulder blades of the two people protrude, which not only affects the smoothness of the posture, but also hinders the flow of the Du meridian.

When a person can straighten their back and arch their arms, their shoulder blades will retract, their spine will round, their arms will extend, and their Du meridian will be unblocked.

Therefore, this opening has the potential to encompass everything! Click!

As the fifth acupoint of the Galloping Horse opened, the blood cocoon around Liang Qu's body ruptured and shattered like a pine cone, and the medicinal power of the Qilin Great Pill finally dissipated and stopped.

Liang Qu listened with his eyes closed.

Blood surged like a mighty river.

During the practice, the body trembled constantly, like a tuning fork being plucked, and the roar of a mighty beast could be faintly heard.

The Qilin Roar is identical to that of the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound! Reaching out to grasp, the strength is greater than ever before. As the muscles and bones move together, subtle changes occur, giving rise to a unique force— the Qilin Bright Spirit Force!

An unprecedented vitality flowed through his body, its vigor and explosive power comparable to the first clap of thunder heard at the time of the Awakening of Insects! How long could he possibly live now?

Liang Qu had a question.

The lifespan of all things is predetermined by Heaven; 120 or 130 is already the limit of human lifespan.

Below the level of Grandmaster, all are mortals, and none can escape death.

However, even ordinary people are different.

After the Galloping Horse, the Martial Master artist is full of vitality and can be spared the suffering and disasters within a hundred years of his lifespan. Even when he is eighty or ninety years old, he is as vigorous as when he is thirty or forty years old.

Although Yang Dongxiong looks like an old man, he is actually full of vitality and is not much different from when he was in his thirties or forties. He only looks old so as to accompany Xu Shi.

According to Master Yang himself, he cultivated the "Ten Thousand Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness," which preserves a person's essence, qi, and spirit without internal depletion or external loss, thus maintaining a long-term abundance within the body, allowing him to live to around 140 years old.

Liang Qu also cultivates the "Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness". If his cultivation does not progress at all from now on, his lifespan will probably be around one hundred and forty years.

But he felt that his lifespan was far longer than the Unseen, perhaps two hundred years...

Leaving aside all kinds of Longevity Treasure, looking at the entire Da Shun, it should be unique to Scorpion Baba.

Was it because of the fusion with the Marsh Ape? Liang Qu felt that this was the only possibility; it seemed that he could not be completely classified as a "human" now.
