Dragon Blood Pill! Extended Lifespan! Thunder Kill!

At this moment.

Lin Changsheng felt that the world had become brighter and clearer!

His eyesight, hearing, and perception had all undergone earth-shaking improvements!

The obscure parts of certain martial arts techniques that had puzzled him before suddenly became clear!

At the same time, his entire body shuddered. He felt his dantian instantly expand, growing more than tenfold larger than before. The vast internal energy transformed from the Tiger Blood Pill's medicinal power surged into his dantian like a giant whale drawing in water!!

His dantian trembled, and the internal energy within it boiled violently. A quantitative change gave rise to a qualitative one, gradually condensing into streams of qi ten times purer than before!

An incomparably powerful feeling flooded his body and mind!

"I... have finally broken through the final shackle and entered the Martial Grandmaster Realm!"

"My internal energy has undergone a qualitative transformation into true qi!"

"Wonderful!"

Lin Changsheng reached out and grasped at the air. He felt translucent breath curl around his palm like flames!

It was true qi!

Whether in intensity or power, true qi far surpassed the internal energy of the previous First-Class Realm!

A tangible sense of strength spread throughout his entire body!

Lin Changsheng examined his panel with his consciousness.

[Great Dao Made Simple: Level 1]

[Lin Changsheng: 17/75]

[Cultivation: Martial Grandmaster Realm (1/62500)]

[Techniques: Sun-Moon Breathing Method (Perfected), Golden Bell Shield. Incomplete Fifth Stage (Perfected), Lesser Heavenly Cycle Breathing Method (Major Mastery 72740/125000)]

[Martial Arts: Nine Stars Linked (Arrow/Hidden Weapon) (Perfected), Fleeting Light and Passing Shadow (Perfected), Iron Sand Palm (Perfected), Azure Snake Sword Technique (Perfected), Thunderclap Slash (Perfected), Tiger Roar Fist (Proficient 2471/2500)]

[Alchemy: Qi-Replenishing Pill (Perfected)]

[By spending a certain amount of silver, techniques, martial skills, and more can be simplified.]

[Status: Yin qi invading the body (Extremely weakened)]

"Huh?"

"My lifespan limit increased by twenty years after entering the Martial Grandmaster Realm! This... is not bad!"

When Lin Changsheng saw the lifespan section on the panel, his eyes immediately lit up, and joy filled his heart.

Twenty more years of life meant infinitely more possibilities!

However, Lin Changsheng guessed that it was because advancing into a major realm had transformed all aspects of his body, thus increasing his lifespan.

After all.

When he had previously advanced to the First-Class Realm, the lifespan section had not changed at all.

"The yin qi invading my body still hasn't been expelled?"

"What the hell is this? Why is it as hard to remove as maggots clinging to the bone?"

Lin Changsheng stared at the final section of the panel, his brows deeply furrowed. He looked at his chest but saw no skull mark. When he circulated the true qi within his body, he felt no discomfort either.

But.

This display of yin qi invading his body remained, always giving him a sense of pressure.

However, the status had changed from 'weakened' to 'extremely weakened,' which meant that entering the Martial Grandmaster Realm had suppressed and weakened the yin qi invading his body!

"My cultivation advanced to the Martial Grandmaster Realm, and the yin qi invading my body changed from 'weakened' to 'extremely weakened.' That means stronger strength and more powerful qi and blood are effective! Once I become a Martial Arts Myth, this yin qi invading my body should be completely annihilated!"

Expectation shone in Lin Changsheng's eyes.

This thing was like maggots clinging to the bone, a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had to get rid of it.

What he could do now was continuously raise his strength!

Obtain more techniques to fuse!

Get more silver and buy medicinal pills!

"Tonight, I can go settle accounts with Mad Blade Martial Academy!"

Lin Changsheng murmured as he looked into the distance beyond the window.

Having become a Martial Grandmaster, he needed 62,500 experience points to advance to the next realm. Aside from fusing techniques, taking Tiger Blood Pills was undoubtedly the fastest way to raise his experience.

Tiger Blood Pills required vast amounts of silver. He would see whether he could harvest a crop of leeks from Mad Blade Martial Academy.

Of course.

If he had Dragon Blood Pills, that would be even better. But the Dragon Blood Pills at Hundred Herbs Hall had all been reserved by the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Golden Saber Sect, and the Yu Kingdom imperial family.

Calling it a reservation was merely a polite way of saying they had monopolized them. It would be far too difficult for him to get his hands on any.

Even if he could find a channel to purchase them through, they would probably be outrageously expensive. He had more than ten thousand taels of silver, but he did not know how many pills that could buy.

However, if he could obtain the Dragon Blood Pill formula and simplify it himself, then perfecting the Dragon Blood Pill would be wonderful indeed, would it not?

Only.

The Dragon Blood Pill formula.

Was a core secret of Hundred Herbs Hall.

Obtaining the formula would likely be extremely difficult.

As far as he knew.

The Tian Family, foremost among the five great families and the family behind Hundred Herbs Hall, possessed a Martial Grandmaster. He did not know whether that was true. Even if Lin Changsheng wanted to go, he would have to wait until his realm experience reached 62499/62500 and make thorough preparations first.

That way, his strength would stand at the peak even among Martial Grandmasters!

Then obtaining the pill formula would be safer.

After all, although he had a panel in this immortal cultivation world, he still had to tread carefully at every step. One careless mistake, and the entire board would be lost!

"Find somewhere to test the power of my current Thunderclap Slash!"

Expectation flashed in Lin Changsheng's eyes as he thought to himself.

He was now a Martial Grandmaster. Testing Thunderclap Slash in this small courtyard of his would still draw attention, so he decided to go outside the city.

Eastern District, Southern Min City.

Within a vast manor spanning ten li, buildings stood row upon row, with red walls and green tiles.

This was the Lei Family, one of Southern Min City's five great families.

The Lei Family specialized in gunpowder and had long been famous for its powerful, easily carried Thunder Shakers and Heavenly Thunder Beads!

At this time.

Inside a secret chamber of the Lei Family, a sturdy, red-faced middle-aged man looked at a scholarly middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, "Steward Yu, leave this matter to me. I will certainly make him disappear from this world!"

"Mm, that brat is truly hateful. Handle this well, and I will put in a few good words for you before the young master!"

Steward Yu looked at Lei Zhen, head of the Lei Family, and nodded.

"Many thanks, Steward Yu. I have three Heavenly Thunder Beads here as well. Throw all three at once, and they will be enough to blast a peak First-Rate Master to death! I offer them to you now, Steward!"

Lei Zhen's eyes lit up at those words. He took out a small bundle and pulled out three pitch-black round beads.

"Then many thanks. I shall not stand on ceremony!"

"Get rid of that Lin brat soon and put the young master's mind at ease. I shall take my leave first!"

Steward Yu carefully accepted the three round beads from Lei Zhen's hand, satisfaction on his face.

"Very well, farewell, Steward Yu!"

Lei Zhen nodded, cupped his fists, and bowed. He watched as Steward Yu's figure flashed away, then immediately pressed a mechanism on the wall beside him.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Before long, two similarly red-faced middle-aged men hurried over.

They were Lei Zhen's second brother, Lei Ming, and third brother, Lei Bao.

"I summoned you here because I need you to kill someone!"

"This person is a youth of seventeen or eighteen, yet he has already entered the First-Rate Master realm. He once killed the Canglang Saber Warrior Zhong Ling and Situ Zhan, leader of the Minnan Five Tigers. Though we do not know what method he used, we must kill him in a single strike. Blast him with firearms!"

Lei Zhen looked at Lei Ming and Lei Bao as he spoke.

"A First-Rate Master at seventeen or eighteen, who can even kill First-Rate Masters like Zhong Ling and Situ Zhan? That... can't be possible, can it?"

Lei Ming and Lei Bao widened their eyes, disbelief showing on their faces.

As far as they knew.

Zhong Ling was known as the Lightning Saber, and his Six Life-Slaying Slashes were something even they did not dare take lightly!

Situ Zhan's strength was no weaker than Zhong Ling's, yet he had been killed by a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth?

"Go. This was ordered by Steward Yu. If we handle this well, it will be a heaven-sent opportunity for our Lei Family! Do your utmost to kill him!"

Hope appeared in Lei Zhen's eyes as he said in a deep voice.

He understood clearly that for a family from Southern Min City like theirs to catch that person's eye, they had to rely on their family's firearms!

The current crown prince had not yet been established.

That person had a great chance of ascending the throne in the future!

If they entered his sight now, then once that person ascended the throne, their Lei Family would have the merit of following the dragon. Would they not rise with the tide and soar into the skies?

Moreover.

Killing an insignificant brat posed little risk to the Lei Family!

A casual matter!

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Lei Ming and Lei Bao cupped their fists and bowed, then turned and left.
