Blood Qi Like an Ox! Crisis Approaches!

Lu Yuan took about eight months to go from First Blood Change to Second Blood Change. Although it was much slower than himself, since he was a genius, it was still somewhat understandable.

But it only took him less than a month to reach the perfection of Second Blood Change. This completely exceeded Zhang Zhi's imagination, and he found it difficult to comprehend.

The super geniuses he had heard of were probably just like this.

Could a family of medicine merchants in an ordinary county town produce such a monster?

It was no different than a large chunk of gold appearing from a pile of stones.

After being shocked for a long time, Zhang Zhi accepted the fact: "I have the prescription for Three Blood Changes. I'll copy it for you later... Shut up, I know what you're going to say. I don't want anything. You just need to cultivate well..."

He was spitting and full of spirit:

"Although I am not your master, I have taught you to some extent. It is my honor in this life to have taught a disciple like you. If you can cultivate to Martial Dao Master, I am willing to die immediately."

Lu Yuan nodded heavily: "I will!"

He silently thought to himself, Martial Dao Master will not be my end!

After finishing a large bowl of wine, Zhang Zhi changed the subject:

"Blood Qi Like an Ox, how much do you know about it?"

"Please enlighten me, Uncle Zhang."

"Although I am only at Second Blood Change, my grandfather was a Martial Artist with Blood Qi Like an Ox. I have always remembered his teachings."

"He said, 'Three Blood Changes form one stage.' Three Blood Changes mean Blood Qi Like an Ox. This is not about cultivating a bull within the body, but about integrating the blood and qi, consolidating all the blood and qi in the body into one. This allows one to unleash power through punches and kicks, reaching the point where the entire body's strength erupts in one direction."

"Of course, although it is said that Three Blood Changes lead to Blood Qi Like an Ox, most Martial Artists, even after completing Three Blood Changes, find it difficult to integrate their internal blood and qi as a whole. It might take Four Blood Changes to fully integrate the internal blood and qi, but you are certainly not among them..."

Soon, Zhang Zhi brought the prescription for Three Blood Changes. Lu Yuan gathered the herbs according to the prescription and began to simmer the medicinal bath.

Stripping naked, Lu Yuan entered the wooden tub, his mind calm, his breathing long and steady.

Hoo~~

Hoo~~

With his long breaths, his breath sank. The blood and qi flowing slowly within his body suddenly accelerated.

As if transitioning from a slow walk to a hundred-meter sprint, Lu Yuan's entire body turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a boiled shrimp. He himself seemed to have become a furnace, emitting high temperatures.

The temperature in the room rapidly increased, and even the medicinal liquid began to boil.

At this moment, it was as if a craftsman was hammering a divine weapon in a fierce fire within Lu Yuan's body.

His internal organs, limbs, muscles, bones, skin, and flesh were all rapidly growing stronger.

After a while, Lu Yuan's breathing required a thirty-second interval between inhales and exhales. The blood that had been expelled became viscous like magma, incredibly hot.

He didn't know how long had passed before Lu Yuan's breathing returned to normal, his internal temperature decreased, and the boiling medicinal liquid in the wooden tub began to calm.

Splash!

Lu Yuan's eyes snapped open. He leaped out of the wooden tub and looked down at his body.

"I succeeded in blood replacement after just one try. I really am a genius!!"

His body had become more robust, his muscles bulging, their lines like steel forged through countless hammer blows.

A sense of lightness pervaded his mind. Every inch of his flesh, skin, and bones exuded a feeling of fullness, of power, and at the same time, a flowing potential, waiting for him to unleash it.

He had undergone a complete transformation.

More importantly, Lu Yuan clearly felt his entire body's blood and qi integrated into one. With a mere thought, he could unleash it from any part of his body – his fists, palms, fingers, feet, elbows...

Lu Yuan clenched his fist and punched out. The air seemed to be pierced by an arrow.

Feeling the explosive power within him, Lu Yuan became incredibly excited, swinging his fists and kicking.

Bang bang bang bang!

Each punch and kick carried immense force. With every step he took, the room shook, as if an elephant were charging.

Without seeing it, it was hard to imagine that such a commotion could be made by a human.

I couldn't find the book by searching the title. You can try searching for the author, maybe the title was changed!

At this moment, Lu Yuan recalled his first encounter with Li Jing. He felt he could now easily defeat him, and the genuine shock he had felt then had vanished without a trace.

"That mere Li Jing doesn't seem like much anymore..."

Lu Yuan grinned.

"Did I forget something? Damn it! The Brilliant Merchant Guild's annual grand auction is about to begin! Shit, I almost missed it!"

For the past month, Lu Yuan had been collecting cultivation techniques.

However, in an ordinary county like Lingbao County, even low-tier cultivation techniques were rarer than he imagined, and more important. People who possessed low-tier cultivation techniques would not sell them to an outsider like Lu Yuan.

Of course.

If Lu Yuan offered ten thousand taels, no one could resist the temptation.

But ten thousand taels was a significant sum for the Lu Family, and spending it rashly would cripple them.

No one sold at a reasonable price, and Lu Yuan was unwilling to pay such a high price for something beyond a reasonable cost. Therefore, in the past month, he had only managed to acquire three unranked cultivation techniques.

Not even worth mentioning, far inferior to even low-grade martial arts.

Lu Yuan didn't even bother practicing it, but he carefully read it all, turning it into nourishment for his own martial arts.

A mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

Lu Yuan immediately got dressed and rushed out the door. He didn't ride a horse, but ran the whole way on foot.

Blood Qi Like an Ox is the first watershed in martial arts. Breathing is continuous and deep, internal organs are powerful, stamina is long-lasting, and endurance is extremely strong. It is comparable to a human-shaped Supreme Grade warhorse. Movement is as fast as a galloping horse, and jumps are as agile as a flying bird.

Its agility is even more divine, capable of catching eagles and rabbits in a single move, and can fight a hundred men.

Lu Yuan wanted to test just how long his stamina truly was.

This year's Brilliant Merchant Guild grand auction was being held in Long'an County. It was further than Zhenping County, about two hundred and fifty li away.

Throughout the journey, Lu Yuan ran at a speed of thirty meters per second, a speed difficult for ordinary people to perceive. For the first ten minutes, his breathing was normal, with no discomfort.

At twenty minutes, his breathing became slightly rapid.

By thirty minutes, he was already panting like an ox.

At this point, he had already run about a hundred li.

"Master, the second young master left in a hurry today, saying he was going to Long'an County, and told you not to worry."

A servant reported when they were having dinner.

"I know. Go and see if the eldest young master is back. If he is, tell him to come and eat immediately. The food is getting cold."

As long as the family is home, they must eat at the same table. This was a rule set by Lu Longjing, and usually, the three father and sons would not violate it.

Unless there was something particularly important.

A moment later, the servant returned and reported, "Master, the eldest young master is not back yet."

"Go to the shop and hurry him up..."

As time passed, the food had completely cooled. Lu Longjing's brows furrowed, and he felt something was wrong.

Lu Cheng was steady and knew the family rules. If he couldn't return, he would definitely send someone to notify him.

"Master!!"

A panicked voice rang out.

"When did you start shouting like this!"

Lu Longjing reprimanded.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, followed by five or six people carrying two corpses who appeared before him.

"Lu Renjia, Lu Renyi!"

Lu Longjing abruptly stood up, instantly recognizing the two men with eyes wide open in death. They were orphans he had adopted and raised from childhood. Both had trained in martial arts since they were young and possessed the strength of Blood Refinement. They had followed Lu Cheng around day and night, protecting him.

Zhang Zhi's face was grim: "Master, these are the bodies just dumped at the doorstep, and... Young Master Cheng's jade pendant..."
