Stepping Onto The Right Track

Chapter 32: Back on Track

In the cellar, there were Silver Dollars and ingots totaling 2200 dollars. Lu Li naturally accepted them all with a smile.

Besides that, they also found a bottle of pills.

The container was a brown glass bottle with a label:

[Blood Vitality Pill, produced by He Nian Tang, Phone: 3300998]

"Blood Vitality Pills! These help martial artists with their cultivation!"

Xiao Cha was overjoyed. She opened the bottle, took a sniff, counted them, and exclaimed excitedly, "There are ten left!!"

Martial Arts naturally had external aids for cultivation as well. After Lu Li took a curious look, he said:

"This trip has been a success. We should head back now."

"Mm~ Let's go!"

Next, the police flower lady personally set a large fire.

The manor had too many wooden structures, and it was instantly engulfed in raging flames. All the sin, resentment, and killing were consumed.

Xiao Cha pulled the cart and ran back, while Lu Li sat on it, holding Tong Shao.

As the sun slanted downwards, their excited moods gradually calmed.

Tong Shao had been frightened for many days. With the bumps of the cart, she fell asleep not long after.

Lu Li let her lean into his arms and asked softly, "Why did the human traffickers treat this girl so specially?"

Xiao Cha was silent for a moment before replying:

"Perhaps they intended to use her as a burial sacrifice... Rich people like to take young boys and girls with them into the afterlife."

"Human Sacrifice?"

Lu Li was greatly shocked! What era was this, that such ignorant and cruel things still happened!?

Xiao Cha sighed, "The Jin people's nobles favored burial sacrifices. The trend trickled down, and it was prevalent throughout the country."

Lu Li frowned and said nothing further, but he firmly remembered this matter.

When the time was right in the future, he would definitely start a rebellion and dig up graves or something.

Just then, Xiao Cha's sarcastic voice was heard:

"It's precisely because there were too many valuable items for burial that the tombs of nobles were repeatedly robbed, leading to their remains being left exposed in the wilderness."

Lu Li nodded, "Heaven's justice is clear, and retribution is swift."

"Yes~ That's exactly the principle~"

As they chatted, Jinmen City was already visible in the distance.

Lu Li used the sack filled with medicinal herbs to thoroughly cover Tong Shao, to avoid attracting attention.

~~~~~~~~~~

When the group returned to the medical clinic, Wan Qing's worried heart finally settled.

"You're finally back... Is everything alright?"

"How could anything be wrong? We rescued Tong Shao and wiped out the human traffickers' den!"

Xiao Cha grabbed Wan Qing's hand and said excitedly:

"Lu Li has broken through to Entering Samadhi and personally killed an Organ Refining martial artist!"

"Entering Samadhi..."

Wan Qing was only slightly surprised before she chuckled, "Young Master Lu is truly amazing."

At this moment, Lu Li was placing Tong Shao, who was sleeping like a little pig, onto a bed to settle her down.

Xiao Cha stared at him, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement:

"Speaking of which, he was already so impressive when he broke through to Concentrating Spirit... Do you think he might be a powerful being in hiding? Perhaps he was severely injured and is slowly recovering his cultivation?"

Wan Qing poked her forehead and smiled:

"You've read too many storybooks. Young Master Lu is talented and diligent, so of course, his progress is rapid."

As the two girls were chatting, they saw Lu Li take off his shirt and walk into the courtyard to practice the White Dragon Whip Technique.

Before, no matter how hard he tried, his efforts yielded half the results, and his posture during practice carried an unshakeable stiffness and awkwardness.

But now that Lu Li had achieved Spirit Refining and Entering Samadhi, his body moved with his will. Every muscle was under his control, and he possessed a neural reflex speed of 50 milliseconds!

With the micro-control and coordination of his entire musculature, his movements were as smooth and fluid as water. Every gesture carried the balanced, rhythmic beauty of traditional martial arts!

This was the essence of-- "When moving, everything moves; when still, everything is still; revolving with perfect ease!"

After completing a set of movements, Xiao Cha nodded repeatedly as she watched, and he himself wore an expression of surprise:

"So this is what Tendons Training is!"

"Tendon" refers to ligaments, which contract muscles and stabilize bones and joints. All of the body's movements are controlled by them.

If a person loses their tendons, they become a pile of lifeless bones and flesh!

Martial Arts' Tendons Training is about using various movements to stretch and pull the body's major tendons against each other, thereby strengthening them.

This not only improves strength and flexibility but also yields the most crucial element—explosive power!

But that's just a side benefit!

As the saying goes: "An inch longer in tendons, a decade added to life."

The true purpose of Tendons Training is to invigorate the blood and flesh by stretching the major tendons, nourishing the bones and muscles, and laying a solid physical foundation!

At this moment, after finishing the White Dragon Whip Technique, Lu Li felt his entire body come alive.

His body felt sore and tingly, his blood flowed freely, and every part of him felt comfortable!

Xiao Cha applauded and praised, "As expected of Spirit Refining and Entering Samadhi, you've already mastered the White Dragon Whip Technique!"

Lu Li let out a long sigh, "Finally, I can practice Martial Arts normally!"

"More than that!" Xiao Cha said enviously, "With this ability to move freely, one round of your punches is equivalent to three, seven, or even eight rounds for others! No wonder the Governor's daughter, despite practicing Martial Arts, exhausted all means to improve her Spirit Refining cultivation."

Lu Li was naturally overjoyed that Martial Arts could restore his broken leg.

However, his stamina was completely depleted. He took the towel handed by Wan Qing and wiped his sweat, saying, "It's still early, let's burn some incense."

Xiao Cha was impressed, "You really can't stay idle for a moment~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After closing the doors and windows, the few of them sat at the table and lit a stick of Calming Incense.

Lu Li actually wanted to see how his current mental strength would affect the Kunlun Mirror.

A few minutes later, the Calming Incense took effect, Lu Li immediately poured his mental energy into the Kunlun Mirror!

The Kunlun Mirror didn't hold back, gently siphoning off 90% of its master's power.

In the Entering Samadhi realm, mental energy could even be condensed to move objects.

With this infusion, the Kunlun Mirror was immediately greatly replenished!

Its surface suddenly erupted with golden light, several smaller wounds slowly smoothed over and healed, and the entire mirror looked much brighter and more lustrous.

It also became more active, flipping and moving within the Sea of Consciousness, its trajectory resembling the character "Dao."

At this moment, Lu Li watched with his own eyes as the boundary of his Sea of Consciousness visibly expanded outward by a circle!

Simultaneously, his eyes suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire room!

The two girls were focused on savoring the incense and didn't notice the anomaly.

Lu Li glanced through the window at the "stone lock" in the courtyard.

This was what Xiao Cha used to train her strength; it weighed about a hundred pounds.

Under Lu Li's gaze, the object flipped over with a "clunk"!

"This seems a bit too exaggerated..."

Even though Lu Li came from humble beginnings and lacked foundational knowledge in Spirit Refining, he knew that his mental strength was somewhat astonishing...

However, with his Heavenly Eye, which had activated prematurely even in the Fetal Breathing realm, this wasn't that surprising.

"With such a powerful Magic Treasure assisting me, I cannot afford to slack off. The next step is intense training!"

Even though he had just broken through, Lu Li was still not satisfied.

As his strength grew, there were more and more things he couldn't stand, and more and more things he wanted to do.

He wanted to make a big impact, but his current strength was far from enough!
