In the bamboo forest behind the mountain, Lu Qing was practicing the first nine forms of the Health Preservation Fist.
After more than a month of practice, his health-preserving fist technique had become incredibly proficient and instinctive.
When practicing, each move has a unique charm and artistic conception.
It seems to be full of vitality, making people feel happy and refreshed just by looking at it.
Even if Doctor Chen were here, he would surely be impressed by Lu Qing's boxing skills.
Because he has developed his own unique understanding of the health-preserving boxing style, he has thoroughly mastered the first nine forms of this style.
Lu Qing was practicing his boxing techniques with complete concentration.
At the same time, he focused his mind and calmed his breath, carefully sensing the flow of qi and blood within his body, searching for that glimmer of opportunity for a breakthrough.
At this moment, the Qi and blood in Lu Qing's body were several times more surging than when he first entered the Qi and Blood Realm.
As his blood and qi surged, each of his moves, though seemingly slow, actually contained immense power, causing the surrounding air currents to surge and leaves to flutter.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Qing, and he instantly grasped the key to circulating qi and blood.
In an instant, the body's Qi and blood are completely connected, forming a unified whole, and circulating without hindrance.
Lu Qing was jolted, and a sudden realization welled up in his heart.
"My Qi and blood are like a net, continuous and unbroken. I have finally reached the minor completion of the Qi and Blood Realm."
However, Lu Qing has reached the minor completion of the Qi and Blood Realm.
The three realms of the Acquired Realm are the Qi and Blood Realm, the Tendon and Bone Realm, and the Internal Organ Realm.
Each one is divided into four levels.
Beginner, minor success, major success, and perfection.
The sign of achieving minor success in the Qi and Blood Realm is that one's Qi and Blood permeate the entire body, like an invisible net, interconnected and continuous, forming a unified whole.
With a thought, one can unleash power at will, without needing to first gather one's qi and blood before unleashing power as before.
Both endurance and explosive power have been greatly enhanced.
For Lu Qing, the biggest obstacle to breaking through to the minor completion of the Qi and Blood Realm was not the key to comprehending the continuous and unbroken network of Qi and Blood.
Rather, it refers to the total amount of Qi and blood energy within the body.
Having superpowers, he has no shortage of insights into martial arts techniques.
On the contrary, the lack of qi and blood in his body has been hindering his breakthrough.
Now, with the daily refinement of one blood-nourishing and qi-boosting pill, his blood and qi power has finally reached a critical point.
Reaching a minor level of mastery is simply a natural progression.
With a flash, Lu Qing arrived under a thick old bamboo tree and grasped the battle sword stuck upside down beside him.
The sound of a blade rang out, a flash of cold light streaked across the sky, and the battle sword was already drawn.
Lu Qing returned to his original spot, a murderous aura rising from his body, and began to practice the Four Directions Blade.
The blade flashed, like flowing moonlight. Every strike Lu Qing made was coordinated with a burst of blood and qi, making his blade extremely fast.
The blade cut through the airflow, causing strong winds to rise all around, stirring up countless dry bamboo leaves.
After completing the nine-form four-sided sword technique, Lu Qing stood still, finishing his stance.
Feeling that he still had energy left in his body, he showed a happy expression.
This minor achievement in the Qi and Blood Realm is indeed a breakthrough point, and it did not disappoint him.
Before his breakthrough, even with his full power, he could only practice the Four Directions Sword Technique up to the seventh move before he could not continue due to insufficient qi and blood.
Now, after completing a full rehearsal, he still has energy to spare, and another burst of energy wouldn't be a problem.
The nine moves are linked together, each one unleashing its full power in a continuous barrage.
According to the records in "The Four Directions Sword", he had already reached a minor level of mastery in this sword technique.
Sheathing his sword, Lu Qing prepared to go home.
He was in a very good mood after breaking through to the minor completion stage in two different cultivation techniques.
He decided that when he got back, he would cook something delicious and celebrate properly.
On his way back, Lu Qing was also thinking about his next cultivation plan.
In terms of martial arts realm, he has now reached the minor completion of the Qi and Blood Realm. As long as he continues to enhance his Qi and Blood, reaching the major completion or even the perfect realm will not be too far away.
The Blood-Nourishing and Qi-Boosting Pills are almost used up; it's time to ask Master to help refine another batch.
Although Lu Qing is skilled at preparing and decocting medicine, he has not yet tried to refine pills and has no experience in this area.
Otherwise, he could have refined it himself.
Anyway, he doesn't lack ginseng now.
A while ago, when Xiao Li moved into the house, Lu Qing asked it about it.
Only then did she learn that Xiao Li had actually discovered more than one ginseng plant deep in the mountains.
Some of them were even no smaller than the two plants he had brought him.
Upon hearing this good news, Lu Qing did not immediately send Xiao Li to gather all the ginseng.
Instead, they let it continue to grow in the mountains.
He will go and dig it up himself when it is needed in the future.
After all, every time Xiao Li digs up ginseng, it will be slightly damaged, which will slightly affect its medicinal properties.
Moreover, he had always wanted to go into the mountains to see what the actual growing environment of those herbs was like.
Having thoroughly studied the "Compendium of Materia Medica," he memorized the medicinal properties and appearances of many herbs.
However, there is still a difference between books and reality. One cannot become a good doctor by simply reading books; one must combine theory with practice.
Therefore, Lu Qing decided that after his master finished studying the "Qing Nang Medical Classic", he would go and ask him to learn how to refine blood-nourishing and qi-boosting pills.
With those ginseng roots, Lu Qing will not encounter any obstacles in his cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm.
On the contrary, he needs to think about his fighting style and martial arts techniques more.
He has now mastered the Four Directions Sword Technique to a minor level. The next stage of power generation requires a body at the Tendon and Bone Realm.
Before reaching the Bone and Tendon Realm, he had temporarily reached the limit in his swordsmanship, and it would be difficult to make any further progress.
Therefore, he needs to find one or two more martial arts techniques to practice.
"I'll go see my master tomorrow and see if there are any suitable martial arts techniques I can learn," Lu Qing thought to himself.
He remembered that his master had said that in addition to the three Bone and Tendon Realm martial arts techniques that he had taken out back then, he also had some ordinary Qi and Blood Realm martial arts techniques in his collection.
Since he had nothing better to do, Lu Qing didn't mind that the martial arts were of a low level, after all, he was only at the Qi and Blood Realm.
After making the decision, Lu Qing quickened her pace.
To celebrate his breakthrough, he plans to go back and cook some big meat dishes for a good meal.
As Lu Qing descended the mountain and walked to the back of his house, he suddenly heard a commotion, interspersed with several angry shouts, as if someone was arguing about something in front of him.
What happened?
Lu Qing was taken aback. He put the battle knife wrapped in a cloth bag into the house through the window at the back of the house, then walked around the house to the front yard.
As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, I saw a large group of people gathered, divided into two opposing sides.
One of them was the villagers of Jiuli Village.
Grandpa Zhang shielded Xiaoyan behind him, while the other villagers, including young people like Wang Da'an, carried farm tools such as carrying poles and hoes, their faces filled with excitement.
Opposite them stood seven or eight burly men, leisurely and composed.
"Didn't we agree that Lu Ming's debt to you has been settled? Why are you still here?"
Grandpa Zhang, who was protecting Xiaoyan, looked furious and shouted loudly.
