As he continuously absorbed Skill energy and Qi and Blood energy, the cold light emanating from Chen Yan's body grew more brilliant.
Within his heart, the Qi and Blood energy became even more condensed, his heart rate quickened, and the thump-thump-thump of his heartbeat echoed like thunderous drums.
Yin Zhe flowed through every part of his heart, helping Chen Yan absorb Qi and Blood energy at an extremely rapid pace.
It was like a greedy, colossal serpent, drawing all nearby Qi and Blood into Chen Yan's body.
As a result, the red mist of Qi and Blood near Chen Yan actually formed a vortex, pouring into the top of Chen Yan's head.
Gradually, a heavy cold mist enveloped Chen Yan, and his body emanated a radiant glow, appearing utterly serene.
Chen Yan began to crudely circulate the Chaos Abyss Art. At this moment, his heart felt like a perfect machine.
Rich Qi and Blood energy gathered from Chen Yan's skin and flesh into his heart. After passing through the Chaos Abyss Art, it transformed into frigid energy and converged with Yin Zhe.
Yin Zhe grew stronger!
Chen Yan was certain that an ordinary person absolutely could not absorb as quickly as he could.
A heavy door creaked open from the depths of the Blood Sensing Chamber, and two figures emerged from the Intermediate Blood Sensing Chamber further within.
"You haven't entered the Hundred Meridians yet. The Intermediate Blood Sensing Chamber has too much energy for you and could cause meridian blockage. It's better for you in the Beginner Blood Sensing Chamber."
A middle-aged man wearing glasses with black frames and a Town Martial Division uniform spoke to a girl beside him.
"Mhm," the attractive girl nodded, a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes.
"Teacher Shen, I actually think I was just uncomfortable the first time. If I practice slowly, I can actually cultivate in the intermediate cultivation room too."
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly.
"It's normal to feel unconvinced after losing to Chu Xuanxian, but the path to becoming stronger isn't about a single moment, it's about a lifetime. Take it steady."
The girl froze, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, but she still nodded.
"Next time, I'll defeat him in front of the Gong Family members!"
The middle-aged man nodded, sighing inwardly.
These years, the aristocratic families' luck has been like dragons. A small Gong Family has now grown into a behemoth that can contend with the Town Martial Division.
The younger generation is even more so, with many prodigies. This Chu Xuanxian isn't even a Gong Family member.
The Town Martial Division has it hard, Qin Prefecture has it hard, and the Summer Country has it hard.
The man's expression darkened slightly. The girl beside him looked, clenching her fists even tighter.
The two walked on.
"Huh." The middle-aged man paused slightly, his gaze piercing through the red mist of Qi and Blood, spotting Chen Yan.
"Someone's still here this late. It seems diligence isn't exclusive to you and me."
Beside him, the girl also looked over, evaluating with slight surprise.
"Such fast absorption speed, and it has ice attributes too. Quite impressive."
A look of astonishment also appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. He nodded, recognizing the Chaos Abyss Art in Chen Yan's hand at a glance.
"His Qi and Blood intensity isn't high; he's clearly just entered the Five Viscera Realm.
But look, he can still absorb Qi and Blood so quickly in a Beginner Blood Sensing Chamber. You should learn from him."
The girl beside him choked slightly, but then nodded.
When she first entered the Five Viscera Realm, she couldn't absorb at such a rapid speed either, and her master was the Deputy Director of the Town Martial Division.
This person is another prodigy!
She clenched her fist and quickly walked towards a direction her master had mentioned, a place where Qi and Blood was dense.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, his disciple was always unwilling to admit defeat in anything she did.
As he passed Chen Yan, the middle-aged man paused.
"Mid-grade Earthly rank ice element?" He frowned, finding it somewhat abnormal.
"Kid, which school are you from?"
Chen Yan looked up. A red mist obscured his vision, allowing him to vaguely see a tall, thin figure. However, the aura emanating from him was terrifying.
Chen Yan recalled Luo Puxin's words and replied, "I'm from the Gong Family."
As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a terrifying coldness erupt from the man, instilling fear.
"Did you register your presence here?" the man demanded again, his face darkening.
Chen Yan remained silent.
The man narrowed his eyes, his coldness intensifying, but he said nothing more and left directly.
Stepping out of the room, the man's eyes remained icy.
"A Gong Family member, leeching off my Town Martial Division for a long time." He glanced back at the door of the Blood Sensing Chamber, narrowing his eyes.
He thought it was a genius, but it was merely a parasite feeding off the nation's strength.
The Gong Family produces many geniuses?
Indeed.
But many more people in the Gong Family spent far more wealth than ordinary people to become so-called geniuses.
If others cultivate the martial path at a rate of 100 per day, and you spend 10,000 per day, it would be strange if you weren't better than others.
But where did all this money come from?
The people's sweat and blood!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's aura grew colder. As he walked, he heard a hearty laugh:
"Old Shen!"
Luo Puxin was walking down the stairs, laughing heartily:
"I thought you went home to rest. I was wondering what was so strange, you're such a workaholic."
The middle-aged man named Shen Yiwei's expression softened upon seeing the newcomer:
"Old Luo, you're here."
He grabbed Luo Puxin's arm, happy to see his old friend.
"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Luo Puxin asked in surprise.
"Don't mention it, just those things." Shen Yiwei slowly shook his head. The Town Martial Division was large, with many people and many ears. He wouldn't speak directly.
"Sigh."
Luo Puxin chuckled:
"Let's go to your office, we'll have a drink first, and I'll tell you some good news later."
"Okay."
Shen Yiwei nodded. Luo Puxin was his old comrade-in-arms, and his strength was not weak. He was happy and grateful that Luo Puxin could come to help him.
Inside the Blood Sensing Chamber.
Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that just saying he was from the Gong Family made the problem go away.
The Gong Family still had a lot of influence. He had heard of the Gong Family back in the village.
"You're from the Gong Family?" a cold female voice sounded in the Blood Sensing Chamber, filled with hostility.
"Yes," Chen Yan replied again.
"Who is your father?" the woman asked again.
Chen Yan remained silent. He didn't know how to answer. Gong Yuhu?
Seeing Chen Yan not answer, the woman sneered:
"Very good!"
Chen Yan frowned but ignored her. He didn't have much time. Now he not only had to absorb Qi and Blood but also meditate on the [Chaos Abyss Art].
His attention turned to the Origin Crystal of the [Chaos Abyss Art]. Chen Yan's own comprehension was also good, and he had even consumed two Saint Breaking Fruits with the character [Skill].
His understanding of the [Chaos Abyss Art] and the Qi and Blood Martial Path was already incomparable to before.
The first realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Path was the Five Viscera Realm, cultivating the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Storing Qi and Blood, the body was like a furnace, and Qi and Blood were like mercury.
After the Five Viscera came the Hundred Meridians, where Qi reached all meridians, and the body possessed spiritual brilliance.
The Qi and Blood Martial Path did not cultivate the physical body. Qi and Blood were energy, a type of energy that could be utilized by humans.
A martial artist's defense could become higher because Qi and Blood energy could manifest on the physical body. Every particle in the body was protected by Qi and Blood, making it naturally powerful.
Punching was the same. With a punch, Qi and Blood surged, greatly increasing its power.
For example, the [Chaos Abyss Art] could be cultivated to the peak of the Hundred Meridians Realm. A single punch could freeze a lake.
These were unimaginable techniques.
However, the physique of a Qi and Blood martial artist was inherently not strong.
If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the title has just been changed!
Therefore, Body Tempering was also very important.
Many people did not cultivate Body Tempering, partly due to talent issues and partly due to not having enough time to cultivate Body Tempering. It was better to switch to another path.
You cultivate two paths, which is good, but when your Body Tempering reaches the Twelve Patterns and your Qi and Blood reaches the middle stage of the Five Viscera Realm, I might already be at the Qi and Blood Hundred Meridians Realm.
"But I have the Saint Breaking Tree, and I'm not without talent or perseverance," Chen Yan muttered to himself.
He circulated the [Chaos Abyss Art] and Yin Zhe.
Originally, Chen Yan's absorption rate of Qi and Blood had slowed down.
However, both the [Chaos Abyss Art] and Yin Zhe were constantly growing stronger. The stronger they became, the higher Chen Yan's absorption rate of Qi and Blood would be.
The biting cold air flowed around him like a vortex. Chen Yan was like a piece of magnetic ice, greedily absorbing the surrounding energy.
Two and a half hours later, the fifth Saint Breaking Fruit with the character [Blood] ripened.
Chen Yan stood up and began to move. The Qi and Blood energy in his original spot didn't seem very abundant. Based on the amount of red light within the Saint Breaking Realm, he could find the truly concentrated locations.
After choosing a spot, Chen Yan sat down again.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Streams of red mist suddenly flowed around him. Chen Yan was startled. Someone nearby was absorbing energy from his area.
Why are they only absorbing after I arrived?
Chen Yan was impatient and moved again. He hadn't registered yet and didn't want to cause trouble for Luo Puxin.
After choosing another spot, red mist streams began to flow around Chen Yan again.
Chen Yan frowned and continued to search.
It was the same again.
Are they going to keep doing this?
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes. This was already the best spot he had found. Even with the interference, the Qi and Blood concentration was higher than before.
Whatever, let's absorb!
"Hm?"
Not far away, the woman sitting cross-legged had cold eyes. Since they were a Gong Family member and had come secretly, she wouldn't be polite.
Her master was too lazy to deal with juniors, but she was a junior.
Let's absorb!
With me here, you won't be able to absorb much energy.
She circulated her cultivation technique, held her breath, and began to release her own Qi and Blood to envelop the red mist.
In her perception, there seemed to be a block of cold ice standing beside her.
The woman sneered and guided her own Qi and Blood to begin absorbing the Qi and Blood energy from Chen Yan's side.
This was a rather underhanded method: first releasing her own Qi and Blood, then enveloping Chen Yan's Qi and Blood, preventing him from absorbing it.
If they absorb the Town Martial Division's blood, I'll absorb their blood.
Is there a problem?
The fact that Qi and Blood could be circulated so sensitively usually only happened at the peak of the Five Viscera Realm. They were bullying Chen Yan because his strength wasn't high.
The woman carefully manipulated her Qi and Blood and soon arrived beside Chen Yan, a smile appearing on her lips.
Chh...
A cold current suddenly emerged from Chen Yan's body. The woman's eyes widened.
So cold!
Just now, the Qi and Blood energy she had sent out...
Was eaten?
Impossible!
A martial artist can't absorb another's Qi and Blood energy like this!
On the other side, Chen Yan's eyes flashed. What pure Qi and Blood energy!
It's even purer than this red mist!
This wasn't absorbed by him directly; it was Yin Zhe.
Yin Zhe had eaten this mass of Qi and Blood energy, and then Chen Yan used the Chaos Abyss Art to refine it.
Yin Zhe can actually absorb other people's Qi and Blood energy?
Is there something wrong with Yin Zhe, or is that woman simply helping me?
She deliberately let me sit here.
The Qi and Blood energy was also given to me by her.
She's helping me!
Why?
Could she also be a Gong Family member? Knowing I'm a Gong Family member, she came to help me?
Chen Yan felt guilty and stopped talking.
Within the Saint Breaking Realm, a large area of red light suddenly gathered and was absorbed by the Saint Breaking Tree.
A few more, and the sixth Saint Breaking Fruit with the character [Blood] would ripen.
What a great harvest!
Whoosh, whoosh...
At this moment, another mass of Qi and Blood energy drifted over. Chen Yan's eyes flickered. This woman was helping him so much.
He felt a surge of emotion and activated Yin Zhe, consuming this mass of pure Qi and Blood energy once more.
This time, it was purer and more immense than the last.
A new Saint Breaking Fruit grew a little larger.
In the distance, within the red mist, the woman's eyes widened.
Her Qi and Blood had disappeared again.
It was frozen, then vanished. Eaten?
"No!" she gritted her teeth. It was impossible for a martial artist to directly absorb another's Qi and Blood.
No, some people could, but it required extremely special methods.
This person had only just entered the Five Viscera Realm; he couldn't possibly possess such a peculiar ability.
Her Qi and Blood had been frozen by the other party and then dissipated.
That was it.
Her Qi and Blood had been frozen, so she couldn't sense it, which made her think it had been eaten.
What powerful ice element ability!
Hostility deepened in the woman's heart. To possess such elemental energy upon entering the Five Viscera Realm, how many heavenly treasures had the Gong Family fed him?
No wonder Master hated the Gong Family so much.
Wisps of cold air appeared, and the woman clearly felt this chilling current.
Was it provoking her?
She circulated her cultivation technique, her own Qi and Blood flowing out and moving towards Chen Yan. She refused to believe she would lose to someone who had just entered the Five Viscera Realm.
Yin Zhe consumed this piece of Qi and Blood energy. Chen Yan was surprised; it was too generous.
Or did the other party not care about it at all?
Should he express his gratitude?
What if he slipped up and said something?
Chen Yan chose to remain silent and continued cultivating. The third [Skill] character Saint Breaking Fruit and the sixth [Blood] character Saint Breaking Fruit were about to mature.
Meanwhile, in the distance.
The woman's anger subsided, and the cold currents swirling around her gradually dispersed.
Wasn't she provoking him anymore?
Freezing her Qi and Blood must have also consumed a significant amount of her elemental energy.
The woman narrowed her eyes.
She didn't choose to continue interfering with Chen Yan. Instead, she began to absorb the surrounding Qi and Blood red mist. As long as she absorbed all the Qi and Blood energy here, the other party wouldn't be able to absorb it.
At the same time.
The third [Skill] character Saint Breaking Fruit matured.
Chen Yan's eyes shone brilliantly. After consuming it, his understanding of the Chaos Abyss Art reached a new level.
Coupled with the effect of Yin Zhe, his absorption speed of Qi and Blood became even faster!
