Martial Artists, Only the Blood Refining Realm is True Martial Art

"I don't know, so let me explain. Martial Artists were created by the ancient people observing fierce beasts and the heavens and earth. Originating from shamans, they observed the intent of fierce beasts and the heavens and earth, condensing their own vital energy and blood. This is the Martial Path."

"Only by stepping into the Blood Refining Realm can one be considered a Martial Artist. The Skin Refining Realm can only be considered an apprentice. Its purpose is to enhance the firmness of the skin and muscles to lock in vital energy and blood!"

"And to step into the Blood Refining Realm, one must have a True Meaning Diagram. One observes the True Meaning Diagram with oneself, and then refines the false into the true within the body, gathering vital energy and blood to enter the Blood Refining Realm. The Blood Refining Realm is generally divided into three stages: First Blood Refining, Second Blood Refining, and Third Blood Refining. First Blood Refining can at most step into the Bone Refining Realm. Only Second Blood Refining and above have a chance to step into the Viscera Refining Realm. Subsequently, when vital energy and blood enter the bones, it is the Bone Refining Realm. When vital energy and blood enter the viscera, it is the Viscera Refining Realm. The True Meaning Diagram of my Overlord Blade Martial Hall is inherited from the Cangyuan Sect Overlord Blade Hall, which is the Fierce Tiger Intent. Its condensed vital energy and blood are rich in killing intent, possessing the power to resist evil demons, and its strength is also outstanding among those of the same realm."

Inside the room, Xie Qingshan slowly explained.

And Chen Xuan listened attentively, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

This was his first time coming into contact with the Martial Path, and also his first time understanding the extraordinary system of this world.

Even he hadn't expected that the Skin Refining Realm was not the beginning of the Martial Path.

At this moment, he finally understood why it was so difficult for him to obtain Blood Refining Realm cultivation methods through the system.

Because the Blood Refining Realm was not simply achieved through actions or consuming something; one must possess a True Meaning Diagram.

Only by comprehending the true meaning was it possible to condense vital energy and blood.

Under these circumstances, no matter how he tried, without a True Meaning Diagram, it was difficult for him to obtain the method for the Blood Refining Realm.

While Chen Xuan was lost in thought.

Outside the door, Xie Yunhua had already walked in with a wooden box.

Xie Qingshan took it, then opened the wooden box and took out the scroll inside.

Chen Xuan, who had been deep in thought, couldn't help but follow Xie Qingshan's movements and look over.

At this moment, Xie Qingshan unfolded the scroll and hung it on a screen that had been prepared earlier.

On the scroll, a huge Striped-Eyed White Tiger was depicted, lifelike, as if it would leap out of the scroll in the next moment.

Just by focusing his gaze, Chen Xuan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

His heart couldn't help but tremble.

"The True Meaning Diagram of my Overlord Blade Martial Hall is the Fierce Tiger Intent. It's a pity that there was turmoil back then, and the original manuscript of the Fierce Tiger True Meaning Diagram disappeared. This is a copy I made later. Although it's not as good as the original True Meaning Diagram, it's enough for someone to complete two Blood Refinings. For ten days starting today, you can come and observe for half an hour each day."

Xie Qingshan looked at Chen Xuan's gaze and spoke slowly.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Xuan nodded and respectfully responded.

At this moment, he also changed his address for Xie Qingshan.

"It's too early to call me Master. Just call me Hall Master. It's not too late to call me Master when you successfully refine blood!"

Xie Qingshan waved his hand, his words calm.

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Chen Xuan didn't pay too much attention to Xie Qingshan's indifferent expression.

"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. After half an hour, you can leave on your own!"

Xie Qingshan waved his hand, indicating something, and then Xie Yunhua pushed Xie Qingshan out of the room.

Soon, only Chen Xuan was left in the room.

"True Meaning Diagram, Blood Refining Realm!"

"So that's how it is!"

Waiting for Xie Qingshan and his daughter to leave, Chen Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At this moment, his heart was still filled with shock.

To be honest, at first, he thought the reason he couldn't create the Blood Refining Manual was due to insufficient prerequisite settings, but he never expected it to be for this reason.

The Martial Path of this world was also much more complex than he had imagined.

The first step of the Martial Path actually involved something as profound and mysterious as True Meaning.

His heart stirred.

Target: Quickly complete the Blood Refining Realm (To be determined)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path 1: Watch the True Meaning Diagram for half an hour daily. After ten days, go to the deep mountains and observe tigers hunting. In ten days, you can gather True Meaning. Return to the Martial Hall, obtain the secret medicine, and reach the Blood Refining Realm."

"Path 2: After noon tomorrow, the Green Mountain City Black Market will have Blood Refining Manuals for sale. Bring one hundred taels of silver to the Black Market to purchase and return. Every three days, hunt one tiger and one leopard. Use the tiger gallbladder and leopard heart, along with a Thirty-Year Ginseng and a Thirty-Year Lingzhi, boil them in three buckets of water until only one bucket remains. Soak in it every three days. Practice with the Blood Refining Manual, and you can complete the Blood Refining Realm in three years."

"Path 3: Three hundred li outside Green Mountain City is a Blood Demon Sect outpost. Arrive at the Blood Demon Sect, successfully join the Blood Demon Sect after passing their trial, undergo blood refining to temper the body. If you survive after six months, you will successfully enter the Martial Artist Blood Refining Realm."

The text flickered, and this time his paths had clearly changed again.

"Black Market, is it not going to open without me?"

Chen Xuan's expression was a little strange, and he subconsciously glanced at the second line.

He hadn't expected that after a considerable amount of time had passed, this Black Market option was still there.

Of course, surprise was surprise, but Chen Xuan only focused on the Black Market for a moment before shifting his gaze back to the first line.

Compared to the second and third lines, the first line was undoubtedly the most feasible for him.

There was no need to mention the second path; hunting a tiger and a leopard every three days and taking three years was too long, and the cost was too great. As for the third path, he basically didn't need to consider it. The Blood Demon Sect, after repeated attempts before, Chen Xuan knew what kind of place the Blood Demon Sect was. He didn't want to seek death.

In comparison, although the first line was also dangerous.

Especially needing to go to the back mountain for ten days, the level of risk for ordinary Skin Refining Realm martial artist apprentices was undoubtedly like a fool's dream.

But for Chen Xuan, it was not a problem.

In Small River Village, he had gone to the mountains for more than ten days.

The only problem was that this time he needed to stay in the mountains for ten days.

However, with his Conceptual Ability, ensuring his safety shouldn't be a big problem.

His eyes flickered, thoughts swirling.

But Chen Xuan quickly suppressed them.

Regardless of future arrangements or whether there were new methods, for now, he would focus on observing the True Meaning Diagram.

He sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the True Meaning Diagram.

For some reason, as Chen Xuan concentrated on it, his expression began to become hazy.

He vaguely felt as if he were in a mist.

"Roar!"

He seemed to hear a fierce tiger roaring nearby.

It felt close, yet also far away.

The evening glow gradually fell, and the new day was slowly drawing to a close.

Half an hour passed quickly. Chen Xuan only felt that in his daze, something had tapped him.

"What is this?"

He subconsciously looked around, his expression somewhat confused.

"You should go back!"

A clear, cold voice sounded, and only then did Chen Xuan see Xie Yunhua standing beside him.

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan responded, then stood up.

Alright, the power system is starting to show itself. One hundred thousand characters.
