A thought for an experiment took shape in his mind.
He quietly made his way to the garden in the backyard of the villa and easily caught an ordinary grey mouse foraging in the grass.
Returning to the soundproofed room in the villa's basement, he placed the terrified little creature on a specially made experiment table.
Xu Feng calmed his mind and spirit, separating a thread of extremely pure, gentle Qi and Blood from his Dantian.
This thread of Qi and Blood was carefully wrapped and compressed layer by layer by his own Inner Gang Qi energy.
Ultimately, it formed a "seed" the size of a grain of rice, with a faint red luster flowing internally and an external force field of Inner Gang that was almost transparent yet exceptionally tough.
With a light touch of his fingertip, this special "seed" merged into the mouse's body, settling in the corresponding position in its lower abdomen's Dantian.
At first, the mouse struggled violently, squeaking, clearly experiencing extreme fear and discomfort from the foreign object suddenly inside it.
However, soon, a change occurred.
Centered on the "seed," a weak but undeniably present "attraction" force field began to take effect.
The sparse, free-floating magic power in the surrounding air, as if drawn by an invisible force, began to slowly converge towards the mouse's body, and through its skin and respiration, it was absorbed into its body.
The magic power entered the mouse's fragile body, which had never encountered extraordinary energy, causing initial discomfort and a slight burning sensation. The mouse's struggles intensified.
But as more and more magic power was absorbed, and guided and preliminarily "tamed" by the Inner Gang surrounding the "seed," this magic power did not rampage chaotically within its body, causing damage. Instead, it was orderly directed towards the "seed."
And the core wrapped by the Inner Gang, that thread of Xu Feng's Qi and Blood, like a greedy miniature black hole, began to devour this guided magic power.
In the process of devouring, it underwent subtle changes itself, releasing wisps of thinner Qi and Blood power that were gentler and more compatible with ordinary creatures, feeding back into the mouse's body, nourishing its cells, and strengthening its foundation.
The mouse's struggles gradually subsided, its eyes losing their terror and replaced by a dazed tranquility, as if it had eaten its fill and was content.
Its body began to undergo visible changes.
Its physique slightly expanded, its grey fur seemed to gain more luster, and its eyes became more lively than before.
Most crucially, in Xu Feng's keen perception, he could clearly see, next to the "Qi and Blood Seed" that served as the core.
A thread of extremely weak, but undeniably the mouse's own, brand-new Qi and Blood was slowly condensing and taking shape!
This thread of Qi and Blood shared the same origin as the Qi and Blood within the "seed," yet it carried the mouse's unique life imprint, slowly rotating around the central "seed" like a satellite.
And the "Qi and Blood Seed," created by Xu Feng and wrapped in Inner Gang, in the mouse's Dantian, was like a miniature, operating "energy engine" and "guidance core."
It continuously absorbed and attracted external magic power, supplying itself to maintain the operation and slight growth of the Inner Gang. At the same time, its very existence and the energy field it emitted were continuously guiding and accelerating the condensation and growth of the mouse's own Qi and Blood.
Xu Feng carefully observed the depletion of his Inner Gang.
He estimated that without the absorption of external magic power, this "Qi and Blood Seed" could operate for about a month before the Inner Gang would gradually dissipate due to insufficient energy replenishment.
The Xu Feng Qi and Blood within would also lose its restraint and slowly dissipate or be absorbed by the mouse's body.
But!
Theoretically, if the host could absorb more, higher-quality energy, then the "seed" would receive more "supplies," the wear and tear on the Inner Gang could be replenished, and the traction force might even become stronger!
And the "seed" itself would grow, thus forming a virtuous cycle, theoretically... it could never dissipate!
"It's done!"
An irrepressible light of joy burst from Xu Feng's eyes!
The problem that had troubled him for a long time finally had a theoretically feasible solution!
He named this special existence, composed of a thread of his own Qi and Blood wrapped in his Inner Gang:
[Qi and Blood Seed]
This was not just a seed, but a bridge, a starter, a "cheat" for entering the extraordinary path, tailor-made for ordinary people!
With it, ordinary people could actively absorb external magic power, cross the chasm of the extraordinary, and formally embark on the path of Qi and Blood martial arts!
Without delay, Xu Feng immediately found his parents, who were chatting in the living room, and his Second Uncle and Second Aunt, who lived in the neighboring villa.
He brought the four of them to the soundproofed and energy-shielded quiet room, his expression solemn and respectful.
"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt."
Xu Feng's gaze swept over his four closest relatives.
"What I am about to do next is extremely important, and it involves a huge secret that must never be revealed to outsiders.
You must swear that no matter what happens, you will never mention anything you see, hear, or feel here today to a sixth person!"
Seeing their son's unprecedentedly serious expression, the four elders, though filled with doubt, immediately realized the gravity of the situation.
By now, Xu Feng was already a key figure in the entire extended family. Whatever he decided to do, they could at most offer advice, but not oppose it.
They exchanged glances and nodded solemnly.
Xu Shan, representing the family, spoke, "Xiao Feng, don't worry. We are your closest family, and we would never harm you. Tell us, what do you need us to do, and we will listen to you."
Xu Feng said no more, signaling them to relax their bodies and sit cross-legged.
He walked behind each of them in turn, extending his right hand, his palm pressed against their lower back.

Focus, gather Qi, divide and control the spirit.
Four [Qi and Blood Seeds], similar to those in laboratory mice but more refined, were carefully implanted one by one into the dantian of his four beloved family members.
This process required extreme precision, ensuring the "seeds" perfectly integrated with the host's body, causing no harm while maintaining stable operation.
After implanting the "seeds," Xu Feng didn't stop. He
mobilized his own gentle Qi and Blood, guiding the first wisp of energy that was drawn by the "seeds" and initially transformed within his four relatives' bodies.
Following the most basic circulation routes in the Fist Scripture, he slowly circulated it within them, helping them condense the first wisp of Qi and Blood that truly belonged to them!
Time ticked by.
Within the quiet room, energy flowed.
Xu Shan felt a warmth in his lower abdomen, as if he were holding a small furnace, and a faint yet real sense of power spread through his limbs.
Yang Lingxia's pale face gradually regained a healthy blush, and the chronic weakness from old injuries seemed to vanish.
Second Uncle and Second Aunt also showed expressions of surprise and comfort.
Finally, under Xu Feng's meticulous guidance, a wisp of Qi and Blood, carrying their individual life imprints, was successfully condensed in each of their dantian!
Early stage of the Blood Replacement Realm!
They had officially stepped onto the threshold of the Qi and Blood martial path!
Although it was only the most basic first step, for them, it was already a leap in their life's essence.
They could clearly feel the changes in their bodies.
Their energy was more abundant, their strength greater, their senses keener, and even their breathing felt smoother.
And the moment his four relatives successfully condensed their own Qi and Blood--
[Breakthrough Points +10]
[Breakthrough Points +10]
[Breakthrough Points +10]
[Breakthrough Points +10]
Four consecutive system prompts rang in Xu Feng's mind like heavenly music!
His Breakthrough Points instantly increased by 40!
"As expected!"
The last shred of doubt in Xu Feng's heart vanished, replaced by indescribable excitement and clarity!
Spreading the Qi and Blood martial path and guiding others to successfully enter it did indeed grant Breakthrough Points!
Furthermore, it seemed unrelated to the initial strength or potential of the entrants; as long as they successfully condensed the first wisp of their own Qi and Blood, a fixed reward of 10 points was provided?
This discovery was immensely significant!
It meant that he could not only gain Breakthrough Points through the "leveling up" model of hunting Monsters and conquering underground cities, but also obtain a stable additional source by spreading the Qi and Blood martial path through teaching and guidance!
An unprecedented idea, like a seedling breaking through the soil, grew wildly in his heart--
In this world dominated by magic power Hunters, to establish and spread the "Qi and Blood martial path"!
Before, he might not have had the strength or confidence to protect this secret, fearing it would attract covetousness and disaster.
But now, with his regular S-class low-level strength, Blood Dragon State S-class mid-level, and the ability to contend with S-class high-level in the Heaven and Earth Manifestation state!
As long as it wasn't one of the "National Power Level" Hunters standing at the pinnacle of the world who personally made a move, he had sufficient power to protect himself!
Moreover... a deep glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his palm.
Each [Qi and Blood Seed] in his relatives' dantian contained a trace of his own Qi and Blood, encased and maintained by his Inner Gang.
There existed a profound and subtle connection between him and these "seeds," transcending distance.
As long as he willed it...
The Inner Gang within those "seeds" could be instantly detonated, shattering the host's dantian!
Of course, they could also be remotely controlled by him, dissipating silently without a trace!
This was the absolute control he had prepared as a failsafe.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his family, but that human hearts are unpredictable and worldly affairs are ever-changing.
Once the Qi and Blood martial path spread, it was hard to guarantee that someone wouldn't be blinded by greed or coerced by powerful forces into acts of betrayal.
With this failsafe, he held absolute initiative and ultimate control.
"Qi and Blood martial path..."
Xu Feng murmured to himself, his gaze piercing through the walls of the quiet room.
"Perhaps, it's time to let this world feel the power of another path to transcendence."
