Entering the Bone Forging Realm, Qi and Blood Gauze Robe!

"How could this be?"

Nangong Wan'er shook her head and continued, "While you were gone, two more groups came to check. They saw the door was locked and left."

"Also, I found a thug on the third floor lurking around not far from the restaurant."

"A thug lurking around?"

Qin Shuang thought of Liang Chang, his eyes flashing as he said, "After my restaurant closed down, the Flying Eagle Gang's hall master, Liang Chang, produced an IOU saying my family owed him a thousand taels of silver. That thug was probably sent by him to monitor me."

"You're already at the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm. I have a bottle of Tiger Blood Pills here. Take it and see if you can break through to the Bone Forging Realm."

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Nangong Wan'er thought for a moment, took out a palm-sized white porcelain bottle from her bag, and handed it to Qin Shuang.

This Tiger Blood Pill was also something she had found after killing an enemy.

With her cultivation, the Tiger Blood Pill wouldn't have much effect. Giving it to Qin Shuang to improve his strength was a good idea.

"Ah? A bottle of Tiger Blood Pills?"

Hearing Nangong Wan'er's words, Qin Shuang's eyes widened. He cupped his fists and thanked her.

He hadn't been able to buy Tiger Blood Pills at the three major pharmacies, and he never expected Nangong Wan'er to have them.

Truly, when all hope seemed lost, a new path appeared.

Moreover...

These Tiger Blood Pills weren't even sold at the pharmacies, and Nangong Wan'er was giving him a whole bottle. This bottle was worth a fortune!

"You're welcome. If you can advance to the Bone Forging Realm, you'll be able to better help me evade the search."

Nangong Wan'er waved her hand and said.

"Miss Nangong, rest assured you can stay here. If anyone comes to search, I'll handle it!"

Qin Shuang looked at Nangong Wan'er and patted his chest.

"Okay, I'm going to cultivate. You can busy yourself."

Nangong Wan'er nodded at Qin Shuang. With a flash of her figure, she went up to the third floor.

"There are actually 12 pills!"

Qin Shuang unscrewed the wooden stopper wrapped in red cloth on the white porcelain bottle, and a rich medicinal aroma wafted towards him.

His eyes lit up with surprise. He poured ten Tiger Blood Pills into his palm, observed them for a moment, and then threw them into his mouth.

[Tiger Blood Pill +1]

[Tiger Blood Pill +1]

[...]

[Condition for ten Tiger Blood Pills met.]

As he consumed the Tiger Blood Pills, system notifications continued to sound in Qin Shuang's mind.

[Simplified advancement conditions: 1. Pet Tiger Hide 100,000 times (current 17,768 times), 2. Ten Tiger Blood Pills (met)]

"Not bad. It's 3 PM now. I still need over 83,000 pets. If I stay up all night, I should reach Fierce Tiger Fist mastery tomorrow. By then, it will be that Qi's death day!"

Qin Shuang looked at the panel in his mind with anticipation.

He went to the kitchen, constantly stroking the piece of Tiger Hide in his left hand, while holding the spatula he bought in his right to stir-fry pig's blood with chives.

The delicate bamboo cage for catching dragonflies was placed to the side.

[Pet Tiger Hide +1 time!]

[Watch dragonfly flight +1 minute!]

[...]

As Qin Shuang stir-fried the pig's blood, system prompts sounded in his mind.

Before long.

The stir-fried pig's blood with chives was ready. Qin Shuang left a bowl for Nangong Wan'er and picked up a bowl for himself to eat.

Although the taste was mediocre, he persevered and finished it for the sake of the Blood Rage Saber Art.

[Condition for eating one bowl of pig's blood met.]

[Blood Rage Saber Art: (Beginner, practice ten times daily, proficiency in three months)]

[Simplified advancement conditions: 1. Kill a pig, 2. Eat ten bowls of pig's blood]

Just then, three system prompts sounded in Qin Shuang's mind.

"To advance the Blood Rage Saber Art to the proficient level, I need to kill a pig and eat ten bowls of pig's blood?"

Qin Shuang looked at the conditions for the Blood Rage Saber Art, his eyes filled with thought.

The slaughterhouses in the market usually killed pigs in the morning, sometimes until noon. He had watched a pig being slaughtered at the slaughterhouse that morning, and it was the last pig the butcher killed. To complete the task of killing a pig, he would have to get up early tomorrow morning and head to the slaughterhouse.

Tonight is perfect for completing the conditions of petting Tiger Hide ten thousand times and observing dragonflies in flight.

East City.

Good Fortune Casino.

"Xiao Guizi, haven't you seen Ji Yao yet?"

Liang Chang, dressed in a brocade robe, sat on a lounge chair, holding a steaming teacup. He looked at the thin, small young man before him, his brow deeply furrowed, and asked.

"Hall Master, I haven't seen him."

Chen Gui shook his head.

"This kid, he's probably thinking about his wife again and ran back! You keep an eye on that kid surnamed Qin!"

Liang Chang sighed. This nephew really gave him a lot of grief. He had gone back to sleep with his wife without saying a word before, and he had done the same thing a few times.

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Xiao Guizi nodded.

The next day, twelve noon.

[Pet Tiger Hide +1!] [Pet Tiger Hide +1!] [...]

In the backyard of Fusheng Restaurant, Qin Shuang held a small piece of Tiger Hide in his left hand, constantly petting it. In his mind, a system prompt sounded every two seconds.

[Ding! You have petted Tiger Hide ten thousand times! The advancement condition for Fierce Tiger Fist has been met! Your Fierce Tiger Fist has successfully reached perfection!] [Ding! Your Qi and Blood has surged, successfully entering the Bone Forging Realm!]

Half an hour later, Qin Shuang suddenly felt his body tremble. A surge of powerful Qi and Blood erupted from within him. His bones crackled and popped like exploding beans!

At this moment.

Qin Shuang felt his strength surge by a large margin, as if his entire body was about to explode. The world seemed to have become much brighter, and he could even hear the sound of a stray dog crawling behind the kitchen.

"To practice Fierce Tiger Fist, first temper your Qi and Blood!"

Just then, a voice like a yellow oriole's came from beside Qin Shuang, belonging to Nangong Wan'er.

"Okay!"

Qin Shuang immediately struck a stance upon hearing this. Fierce Tiger Emerging from Mountain, Fierce Tiger Pouncing, Tiger Tail Sweep, Fierce Tiger Tearing, Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain – he cycled through the five moves. In an instant, within the three-zhang radius backyard, gusts of wind from his fists blew!

Qin Shuang felt the Qi and Blood surging within him, as if a fierce tiger was roaring!

As he swung his fists, a faint layer of blood-red mist appeared on the surface of his body, like a veil, looking incredibly magical!

"I've broken through to the Bone Forging Realm!"

Qin Shuang stood straight after punching Fierce Tiger Fist ten times, looking at his hands with satisfaction.

To know.

He had only been practicing Fierce Tiger Fist for two days, and it had already reached perfection. Moreover, his strength had gone from knowing no martial arts to reaching the Bone Forging Realm!

If Liu Hao, the senior disciple of the Golden Tiger Martial Arts School, knew this, he would probably be so shocked he wouldn't be able to close his mouth.

"Let's see my perfected Grass on Flying movement technique!"

Qin Shuang thought to himself.

Last night, he had met the condition of observing dragonflies in flight for two hours.

He activated his 'perfected' level Grass on Flying. With a slight exertion of force under his feet, he leaped up, lightly borrowing power from the backyard wall. His figure flashed, and he was on the second floor, landing gracefully on the corridor.

Qin Shuang leaped again, landing lightly in the courtyard. He leaped again, reaching the second floor, then leaped from the second floor, landing gracefully on the third floor, playing to his heart's content.

"Finally, my initial dream of leaping over walls and treading on roofs has come true!"

Qin Shuang felt the powerful strength within him, immensely satisfied.

This was strength he could truly control!

"Tonight is the death of that guy surnamed Qi!"

Qin Shuang thought of the bearded man surnamed Qi who had pointed at him and cursed him yesterday. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. Letting that dog live another day was like cutting his heart; tonight, that dog must pay a hundredfold!
