Seven days had already passed since Yang Qingyun settled down in this town.

During these seven days, He first used the channels and connections of Zhou Weilong's martial arts school to purchase a large quantity of medicinal herbs with the money seized from Black Wind Stronghold.

Subsequently, using some of the century-old Blood Lingzhi and three-hundred-year-old Fo-ti obtained from Black Wind Stronghold as the main ingredients, he refined a Qi Strengthening Pill.

In addition to this, he also concocted some medicinal ointments to supplement Blood Essence and prepared various medicinal bath formulas.

It was also under the nourishment of the Qi Strengthening Pill and the numerous medicinal ingredients that

Yang Qingyun's Blood Essence rapidly increased, and his progress in strength was also advancing swiftly!

"In my previous life, the initial stages were extremely difficult. It took me nearly two years to go from the early-Entry Realm to the mid-Entry Realm!"

"But now, reborn, it's only been about ten days, and I'm already close to advancing from the early-Entry Realm to the mid-Entry Realm!"

"Furthermore, even before reaching the mid-Entry Realm, my internal Blood Essence is already comparable to the peak-Entry Realm level from my previous life!"

Carefully sensing the power within his body, Yang Qingyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although he possessed all the cultivation memories from his past life, this current body

did not have the memory of re-cultivating.

The expansion of meridians, the tempering of the physical body, and the refining of Blood Essence all needed to start from scratch.

Even so, his cultivation progress was still astonishingly rapid. In just over ten days, he had covered the path that took him two years in his previous life, and even laid a foundation that he wouldn't have dared to imagine in his past life!

The Blood Essence within him was vast and robust, no longer like a trickle as in his previous life, where he constantly had to calculate and conserve, worrying about depleting it during battles.

When moving Blood Essence for combat, it flowed smoothly, no longer stiff and blocked like a rusty machine from his past life.

All these achievements

made Yang Qingyun feel as if he were dreaming!

"In this life, even with such a heavenly start, I cannot afford to slacken."

"Again!"

After a brief rest, Yang Qingyun let out a long breath and resumed his practice, throwing punches and kicks. The Qi that his limbs stirred up whistled through the air as he began to perform the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist once more.

This was a foundational body-tempering martial art created by a high-level martial artist of this era, combining it with the cultivation methods of the Xuantian Realm after the Spiritual Qi Resurgence.

It did not possess great power, but during practice, through specific postures and the movement of Qi, it could accelerate the consumption of Blood Essence, allowing it to permeate and integrate into the body's flesh and blood. This achieved the effect of subtly refining the body and speeding up cultivation!

Currently, the Spiritual Qi in the world was far less concentrated than it would be twenty years later after the large-scale Spiritual Qi Resurgence.

The impoverished ambient Spiritual Qi could not support the consumption required by this set of fist techniques.

If someone were to forcefully cultivate during this era, they would only end up draining their body's essence, damaging their fundamental health.

But Yang Qingyun was different.

In his previous life, with his path blocked, he could only strive to continuously excavate his body's potential, ultimately achieving his peak techniques.

This allowed him to possess the ability to change everything even when facing danger again after his rebirth.

In terms of controlling Qi, and his perception and understanding of Blood Essence and his body, at least no one in this era could surpass him!

This was also the source of his confidence in practicing this body-tempering fist technique!

Because of his meticulous perception of his body and his ultimate control over Blood Essence, he could clearly sense the consumption of every bit of Blood Essence in his body. This allowed him to pause the fist technique just before his Blood Essence was depleted and his body's foundation was about to be strained. He could then accelerate the refinement of medicinal effects, thereby cleverly achieving the effect of using the immense medicinal power to replace the ambient Spiritual Qi!

With each repetition of the exercise, heavy sweat dripped, almost soaking the ground.

Fatigue washed over him, his muscles feeling sore and numb, making him wish he could just lie down and sleep.

But Yang Qingyun's heart remained steadfast, filled with passion.

He could feel

his Blood Essence and his realm increasing at a perceptible rate!

His strength

was accumulating and progressing bit by bit!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three more days had passed.

Under Yang Qingyun's persistent practice over these past few days, This day, the four meridians and hundred capillaries within his body suddenly opened up, and his Blood Essence flowed naturally, allowing him to break through to the mid-Entry Realm in one go!

"Finally broke through!"

Within the courtyard, after finishing a set of fist techniques, Yang Qingyun

felt the Blood Essence surging like a river within him. A hint of a smile appeared on his slightly weary face.

For the past three days, he had not left his residence, dedicating the vast majority of his time to practicing the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist, digesting the Qi Strengthening Pill, and the medicinal properties of various herbs and prescriptions.

The sweat he had shed had yielded extremely substantial rewards.

He had entered the mid-Entry Realm with almost no bottlenecks!

Although it was just an insignificant realm in the Martial Path, reaching it in just ten to fifteen days, a realm that had taken him two years in his previous life, was enough to make him overjoyed!

The improvement in strength undoubtedly brought genuine happiness.

He also had to thank Black Wind Stronghold for their generosity.

Otherwise, without the funds for abundant medicinal supplements, he might not have been able to advance so quickly.

Moreover, the harvest was not just this!

Yang Qingyun casually picked up the saber from the saber rack beside him. The blade was held across his eyes, and the snow-white edge reflected his own pupils!

Clang!

The sharp blade trembled, and faintly, it seemed to possess a distinct vitality that vibrated, giving people a terrifying feeling!

"The Blade in the Heart has finally been formed!"

Yang Qingyun exhaled deeply.

A certain profound meaning dispersed, and the terrifying tremor within the long saber subsided.

The cold blade returned to its lifeless state, as if nothing had happened.

With the breakthrough in his realm and the improvement of his Blood Essence, Yang Qingyun gained more methods and insights.

During these three days of practicing his fist techniques, he had also been continuously honing the Drawing Sword Technique he had created in this life, the one that had killed the chieftain of Black Wind Stronghold, Golden-Eyed Leopard!

As his strength and realm improved, this technique had also advanced to the next level!

Before this, Yang Qingyun had to rely on physical form, tethered to the act of sheathing the saber, to nurture the blade with the momentum of the heart.

This was why he had not drawn his saber when fighting Golden-Eyed Leopard.

It was to prevent the nurtured momentum within the blade from dissipating.

He could only fight with the scabbard on, until the final draw, when he unleashed the saber imbued with his own Blood Essence and his understanding of the great momentum within the blade, killing him in one blow!

But now, with the improvement of his strength and realm, and with the gains from killing Golden-Eyed Leopard, Yang Qingyun had gained further insights and improvements in this Drawing Sword Technique!

If before, the Drawing Sword Technique still needed to rely on external forms, using the scabbard to conceal the blade's sharpness.

Then now, his body, his heart, is the scabbard!

Now, even if he were to draw his saber again, the momentum gathered in his chest would not dissipate!

Instead, at the opportune moment, it could be unleashed at any time!

"The improved Drawing Sword Technique is derived from the visualization concepts of the Ghost Cultivation path from the Xuantian Realm in my previous life, incorporating great momentum, and finally erupting with the sharpness of drawing the blade. It already has many differences from my Drawing Sword Technique concepts in my previous life."

"Now that the scabbard is gone and the blade is in my heart, it can no longer be called the Drawing Sword Technique. Let's call it Mind Slash!"

Feeling the momentum within the blade condensing in his heart, with terrifying power contained within, a look of joy appeared on Yang Qingyun's face.

This way, in the future, when he unleashed this strike, he would not be restricted in any way.

And he could begin practicing saber martial skills.
