Late Entering the Realm

Gurgle, gurgle!

Forcing himself to endure the scalding heat, Yang Qingyun downed three large bowls in one go!

The hot, viscous broth slid down his throat, feeling like he was swallowing chunks of red-hot coal. The searing pain sent jolts through every nerve in his body.

Although his Qi and Blood protected him, preventing actual burns, the intense pain was not diminished one bit!

However, Yang Qingyun didn't give up.

Nor did he entertain the slightest thought of waiting for the soup to cool before drinking it.

This All-Encompassing Tonic Soup, brewed from demonic beast ingredients, could only unleash its full efficacy when it was at its hottest and most scalding, allowing the body to absorb it rapidly and achieve the greatest effect!

The pain he felt now

was utterly worthless compared to the agony of his previous life, where he toiled endlessly without seeing any progress!

Boom!!!

The potent medicinal power, along with the essence from the demonic beast's flesh and blood, began to burn like a roaring furnace in Yang Qingyun's abdomen, transforming into streams of powerful Qi and Blood, which surged ceaselessly towards every meridian in his body.

Yang Qingyun felt his meridians swell and become engorged under the impact of the robust Qi and Blood.

He then leaped several feet into the air, landing in the cleared space like a roc.

Bang!

He threw a punch into the air, and the very air seemed to be shaken, vibrating!

Following the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist from his memory, Yang Qingyun began to practice his punches.

As his fists and feet moved, every inch of his body's tendons, bones, flesh, and blood tensed, twisted, and vibrated. Under the circulation of the potent Qi and Blood flowing through his meridians, his body began to be tempered, strengthened, and enhanced bit by bit!

Wisps of blood-colored mist began to emanate from his entire body!

Bang, bang, bang!

With every punch and kick, a violent gust of wind erupted, causing the ground to tremble slightly and dust to billow up.

Simultaneously, Swish, swish!

A sound like rushing water arose as Yang Qingyun's heart pounded like a drum, his blood flowing like rivers!

With each round of tempering, the ferocious power

was now integrated into every corner of Yang Qingyun's body.

The Qi and Blood within his Dantian and meridians continuously increased, and Yang Qingyun's aura grew more formidable!

Until, at a certain moment, Boom!!!

A bottleneck, a certain barrier, was shattered with a resounding crash!

Yang Qingyun's aura abruptly ascended to a new level!

In the air, a visible current of energy surged!

The strengthened Qi and Blood, like a torrent, surged and churned within his meridians, carrying an incredibly terrifying power!

"I've broken through!"

Yang Qingyun stopped, feeling the explosive strength contained within every inch of his muscles and bones. A smile touched his lips.

He couldn't help but clench his fist slightly.

Late Entering the Realm, he had achieved it!

With the replenishment of essence and vitality from the All-Encompassing Tonic Soup, this breakthrough

could be considered a natural progression!

Moreover, the residual essence from the meal remained in his stomach. Once he fully digested it, he could advance a small step further from his current Late Entering the Realm!

At that point, he would be close to the Viscera Refining Realm, That should be about it!

In this Southern Wilderness martial world, entry-level martial artists are considered insignificant, while those in the Viscera Refining Realm are already considered third-rate experts!

In just one to two months since his rebirth, he had already reached a realm that took him several years of effort in his previous life.

This undoubtedly brought Yang Qingyun great joy.

"Continue!"

Yang Qingyun took his stance in the arena and continued to practice the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist, digesting the essence of the All-Encompassing Tonic Soup and refining his Blood Essence.

Meanwhile, On the other side, Wang Xiaoshi walked out of the last remaining pharmacy in Huangshi Town, holding only a few packets of medicinal herbs wrapped in paper.

He looked up at the street, where occasional brawls led to economic decline, and his face showed a hint of worry.

"Forget it, I'll go back and let the Young Master decide on this matter."

Recalling his experience on this trip, Wang Xiaoshi thought to himself.

He then clenched the medicine packets in his hand with some force, not daring to linger on the street, and quickly walked in a certain direction.

After Wang Xiaoshi left, Inside the pharmacy, A man with a cold smile and a burly physique slowly emerged. A blue tattoo adorned the upper right corner of his forehead.

If Wang Zhu were here, he would surely recognize this person as Qingwen Long, a leader of the Black Tiger Gang, who had a conflict with him at the market outside town more than half a month ago!

The shopkeeper stood respectfully behind him, his face showing clear signs of heartache.

It was as if he was watching hundreds or thousands of taels of silver right before him but was unable to reach out, feeling the pain of being shut out.

He tremblingly cupped his hands towards Qingwen Long and said:

"Master Long, I have increased the price tenfold as you requested. That person is clearly a major customer, and our Zhang Family Pharmacy has suffered a significant loss this time."

"Hmph! Zhang, the gang has issued an order that all pharmacies in Huangshi Town must raise their prices by more than three times, especially to members of the Sifang Society. Absolutely no medicinal ingredients are to be sold to them. If you dare to ignore the gang's decree, you can go ahead and take that big business yourself!"

Qingwen Long said with a cold smile, his expression unchanged.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Our Zhang Family Pharmacy has been rooted in Huangshi Town for generations, how could we betray outsiders and become their dogs? I will strictly follow the gang's orders!"

The shopkeeper trembled all over and repeatedly patted his chest to guarantee.

"Hmph, then remember this: the person just now has very close ties with the Sifang Society. From now on, whenever he comes to the door, the price will be increased tenfold, and not a single medicinal ingredient is allowed to fall into his hands!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Long, please rest assured, I will handle it accordingly!"

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

Qingwen Long flicked his sleeve, no longer paying attention to the shopkeeper. He looked in the direction Wang Xiaoshi had left, a look of satisfaction from his successful revenge on his face.

"Yang Qingyun, is it? Hmph! Let's see what else you can do now!"

"From now on, you won't be able to get half a tael of medicinal ingredients, and even the prices of daily necessities will be increased tenfold. I want to see how you're going to play with me!"

"If I can't beat you, can't I still deal with you?!"

Recalling the scene where he lost face in front of everyone that day, Qingwen Long's face was filled with malice and ferocity.

"Don't worry, it won't last long. Once the Gang Leader deals with those people from the Sifang Society, it will be time for a reckoning!"

"At that time, I, Qingwen Long, will ensure you have nowhere to be buried!"

The shopkeeper of the Zhang Family Pharmacy stood behind him, as if he had heard nothing.

The Black Tiger Gang had ruled Huangshi Town for too long, controlling every aspect of it.

Even though they had lost face to the Sifang Society at the city gate that day, when this behemoth started to operate and target an individual or an external force, the power it could generate was undoubtedly terrifying!

It was imaginable that

during this period, the Weilong Martial Arts School, or rather the Sifang Society behind it, must have encountered immense pressure!
