That wisp of Qi and Blood, acting as a "fire seed," rapidly took root and sprouted in Mai Xiao Wen's dantian!

It began to spontaneously devour the magic power that Xu Feng carefully, bit by bit, released back to her – magic power that had been "adsorbed" and thus gentled!

One wisp, two wisps, three wisps...

Qi and Blood condensed and grew at an astonishing speed within Mai Xiao Wen!

Her skin flushed slightly, her body temperature rose a little, and faint reddish mist emanated from her, her aura climbing steadily!

The entire process felt natural and smooth, encountering almost no obstacles.

In just over half an hour, the Qi and Blood in Mai Xiao Wen's dantian had gone from nothing to rapidly condensing to the count of "seven wisps"!

This marked her entry into the "Late Blood Replacement Realm" of the Qi and Blood martial path.

Purely on an energy level, she was already comparable to a high-level D-class magic power Hunter!

More crucially, this Qi and Blood originated entirely from the transformation of her own life energy and the absorption of external magic power, fitting perfectly with her body without any rejection!

Seeing this, Xu Feng's heart settled. He slowly withdrew his palm pressed against her back, and with a slight shift of his mind, he quietly dissolved the internal qi force field that had been swirling around them, used for "adsorbing" magic power.

The instant the internal Qi force field vanished--

The dense magic power in the air, as if finally finding an outlet, sensed the near-zero "vacuum" state of "magic power concentration" within Mai Xiao Wen's body and immediately surged towards her impatiently!

However, this time, the magic power entering Mai Xiao Wen's body was treated entirely differently than before.

The seven wisps of pure Qi and Blood residing in her dantian, as if smelling the most delicious delicacy, not only didn't reject this foreign magic power but actively welcomed it, beginning to devour, absorb, and transform the incoming magic power madly!

With every wisp of magic power devoured and transformed, the seven wisps of Qi and Blood seemed to grow stronger and more solid, with even signs of an eighth wisp beginning to form!

Mai Xiao Wen closed her eyes, fully immersed in experiencing this unprecedented change within her body.

She could clearly see the magic power that had accompanied her for many years being absorbed and assimilated by a more vibrant force.

And in turn, this new force was being nourished and strengthened!

The sensation was incredibly wondrous.

"It worked!"

Joy welled up in Xu Feng's heart as well.

This meant he had found a potential way to resolve the conflict between a Hunter's magic power and Qi and Blood--

Using the adsorption properties of the internal gang force, temporarily clearing out magic power, then using one's own Qi and Blood as a guide to help it quickly establish a foundation, and leveraging the Qi and Blood's inherent ability to absorb and transform energy to form a virtuous cycle!

In the future, Mai Xiao Wen might not even need to deliberately practice the Fist Scripture to increase her Qi and Blood; her body could passively absorb and transform the magic power in the air, allowing her Qi and Blood to grow slowly and steadily!

Of course, the Fist Scripture primarily used Qi and Blood to enhance physique.

It increased the capacity limit for Qi and Blood within the body.

Not all of its content was for increasing Qi and Blood.

Just as Xu Feng was rejoicing in this success and Mai Xiao Wen was immersed in the novelty of her new power--

[Breakthrough Points +10]

A clear and unexpected notification sound suddenly echoed in Xu Feng's mind!

"Huh?"

Xu Feng's brow furrowed sharply, and he instantly snapped out of his joy, becoming alert.

He instinctively released his senses, scanning every corner of the room, even penetrating the walls to check inside and outside the villa.

There were no traces of Monsters, nor any abnormal magic power or energy fluctuations.

"Where did these Breakthrough Points come from?"

He wondered.

Just then, his gaze fell upon Mai Xiao Wen in his arms, who was still with her eyes closed, sensing the subtle flow of Qi and Blood around her, her aura already completely different from before.

A more incredible, yet seemingly plausible, thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

"Could it be..."

Xu Feng's eyes gradually lit up, and he stared intently at Mai Xiao Wen.

"Helping others successfully embark on the Qi and Blood martial path, guiding them to condense their first true wisp of Qi and Blood... also grants Breakthrough Points?!"

If this guess held true... what did it mean?

It meant that spreading the Qi and Blood martial path was not only about enhancing the strength of those around him and creating a new transcendent system.

It could also be opening up an entirely new, sustainable avenue for him to acquire "Breakthrough Points"!

This was undoubtedly a groundbreaking discovery!

Xu Feng's heart could not help but quicken its pace.

He looked at Mai Xiao Wen's beautiful profile, tinged with joy, and then at the 10 additional Breakthrough Points in his mind.

A grander plan slowly unfolded in his heart.

The propagation of the Qi and Blood martial path might... be far more significant than he had imagined.

With Mai Xiao Wen's problem now solved, it meant she had embarked on a path of extraordinary potential, one that would forever be closely tied to him.

But with this came worries for her parents, Second Uncle, and other close family.

Mai Xiao Wen was fortunate.

She possessed the Hunter physique, naturally attuned to magic power. Even after her magic power was converted to Qi and Blood, her body's ability to absorb and adapt to energy remained far beyond that of ordinary people.

Her parents and Second Uncle, however, were completely ordinary.

While their bodies could function normally in a world filled with magic power, they couldn't actively absorb or utilize even the slightest bit of it.

Without a continuous external energy supply, relying solely on their own limited biological energy, the effect of cultivating the Fist Scripture would be minimal. The condensation of Qi and Blood would be exceptionally slow, perhaps even stagnating.

"I must find a way for ordinary people to stably obtain external energy..."

Xu Feng mused, his gaze falling once more upon his newly acquired ability—"Inner Gang."

Could the adsorption and traction properties of Inner Gang play a role in this?
