6: Chapter 6 Qi and Blood Pill

When the hall closed for the evening.

Lin Feng took a look at his martial dao panel.

[ Host: Lin Feng. Realm: None. Cultivation Technique: Stance Training, 40/200 (Entry Level). Jidao Fist 3/1000 (Not Yet Entered). ]

"Isn't this progress speed a bit too slow?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

After reaching the Entry Level in Stance Training, he had cultivated for a full two-plus hours.

Yet, Jidao Fist had only increased by three points.

This meant that if he followed the normal progress, even if he worked himself to exhaustion cultivating for seven or eight hours a day, he would only be able to add about 10 points at most.

Following this trend, it would take about 100 days to reach the Entry Level for the "Jidao Fist."

That meant it would take over three months to truly guide Qi into his body and step into the Early Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

(Everyone can rest assured, I will absolutely not intentionally hold back the protagonist's cultivation. Lin Feng will successfully step into the Spirit Gathering Realm in less than a month, promote to the Core Condensation Realm in less than two months, and reach the Divine Transformation Realm in less than three months. That speed will be as fast as lightning.)

Although this amount of time wasn't considered long, Lin Feng still felt it was too slow.

After all, the Disciple competition of the Three Great Martial Halls would take place in a year!

At that time, elites would gather, and to place in the top three of the competition, one must possess the strength of the Core Condensation Realm.

Didn't his biological parents look down on him and think he was a piece of trash?

He was determined to place in the top three in the competition and be successfully selected.

By then, I'm afraid Father Lin and Mother Lin's faces would be swollen from the slaps.

Therefore, he had to find a way to significantly increase his cultivation speed.

Actually, there was a way, and that was to consume a blood qi pill.

During his cultivation today, Lin Feng saw many Outer Sect Disciples consume a blood qi pill before practicing.

After consuming the Medicinal Pill, not only could it make the Qi and blood within the body more abundant, but the cultivation speed would also increase significantly.

Unfortunately, those blood qi pills were too expensive!

A single tiny blood qi pill cost fifty taels of silver.

As the saying goes, literature requires poverty, while martial arts require wealth.

Without sufficient silver, it was just a pipe dream for the poor to practice martial arts.

"However, I still have the three thousand taels the Lin family gave me. Although I've spent some, I still have over one thousand nine hundred taels left. Tomorrow, I will go buy some blood qi pills to test how much my cultivation speed can improve after consuming them!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng fell asleep contentedly.

...

The next morning! Lin Feng woke up early.

He came to the Martial Arts Arena in the Outer Courtyard.

He saw Senior Brother Li Qiang already there with several Disciples, doing morning exercises.

They were practicing the "Jidao Fist."

Every Move was filled with vigor.

Since he had already stepped into the Late Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, every punch Senior Brother Li Qiang threw produced a booming sound.

As for the other Disciples who hadn't stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm, their movements were just for show—good to look at but useless.

"Good morning, Senior Brothers!" Lin Feng greeted them with a smile.

"Junior Brother Lin, you're here!"

"Good morning, Junior Brother Lin!"

Senior Brother Li Qiang and the others heard this and nodded with smiles.

The reason everyone was much more enthusiastic toward him was mainly due to Lin Feng's performance yesterday.

It had only been a mere two days, and he had already reached the Entry Level in Stance Training. Otherwise, if Lin Feng were still the same as before, everyone's attitude would only be very cold.

"Senior Brother Li Qiang, I want to purchase some blood qi pills. May I ask who I should buy them from?" Lin Feng walked up to Senior Brother Li Qiang and asked straightforwardly.

Senior Brother Li Qiang heard this and, while practicing his punches, explained, "For these blood qi pills, you can go directly to the Master to purchase them. You can also go to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion in the city; the price is the same, fifty taels of silver per pill. Of course, I still recommend you go to the Master to purchase them!"

"Oh? Why is that?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

"Because the Medicinal Pills in the Master's hands are all purchased in batches from the Medicinal Pill Pavilion, ensuring they are genuine and authentic, with absolutely no fakes or inferior goods. If you go to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion to purchase them yourself, you cannot be completely certain!"

"You mean there's a possibility of buying fakes at the Medicinal Pill Pavilion?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.

Senior Brother Li Qiang shook his head, lowered his voice, and explained, "It's not to the extent of fakes, but I'm afraid they might pass off inferior goods as good ones, mixing one or two low-quality items among ten. Understand?"

"Hmm, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother!" Lin Feng nodded. "Then I will go find the Master to purchase blood qi pills now!"

"Junior Brother Lin, hold on!" Senior Brother Li Qiang quickly called out to him. "The Master should still be sleeping at this hour; you shouldn't go disturb him!"

"Then when is a good time to go find him?" Lin Feng asked, frowning.

He was anxious to consume the blood qi pill and verify the cultivation effect!

"Wait another hour!" Senior Brother Li Qiang thought for a moment and said.

Seeing Lin Feng's slightly anxious appearance, he quickly took a blood qi pill from his pocket and handed it over. "I still have a few in stock here; I'll sell you one first!"

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Li Qiang!" Hearing this, Lin Feng happily took the blood qi pill and then gave Senior Brother Li Qiang fifty taels of silver.

"Haha, no need to thank me. Hurry up and consume the blood qi pill to practice your punches!"

Senior Brother Li Qiang said this and continued to practice the "Jidao Fist."

Before this, he had already consumed a blood qi pill! He had to maximize its effect within the limited duration of the medicine!

Lin Feng nodded, raised his head, and consumed the blood qi pill!

Boom! The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth.

A surging, wondrous warm current quickly rushed into his limbs and bones.

Lin Feng felt his entire spirit jolt.

The Qi and blood within his body also began to churn violently, like boiling water.

Taking advantage of the blood qi pill's effect, Lin Feng also began to practice the "Jidao Fist."

The first Move, Straight Punch.

Lin Feng silently recited the mantra in his heart, "The head strikes as the intent follows the feet, rising without having risen, standing in the center..."

The second Move, Crushing Fist.

The third Move...

The "Jidao Fist" had a total of seven Moves.

As the seven Moves were successfully completed! Lin Feng took a look at the panel and saw that the progress for Jidao Fist had changed.

[ Jidao Fist 5 / 1000 (Not Yet Entered) ]

It had increased from the original three points to five points all at once.

"Haha, this blood qi pill is truly Heaven-Defying; it actually caused my cultivation speed to increase by nearly two times all at once." Lin Feng couldn't help but be ecstatic inside.

This also meant that as long as he had enough blood qi pills, he would be able to successfully step into the Spirit Gathering Realm within fifty days!

Promoting to the Spirit Gathering Realm in just over a month—that was absolutely a Genius among Geniuses! He could be called a peerless Prodigy.

Yesterday, while chatting with Senior Brother Li Qiang, Lin Feng learned! Even those six Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the Inner Courtyard of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall, who all possessed superior talent, the fastest among them to promote had taken a full two and a half months to step into the Spirit Gathering Realm.

If he could really promote in just over a month, that would absolutely shock everyone's eyeballs.

It could even make Hall Master Su Tongtian look at him with new eyes.

The Jidao Martial Arts Hall was a place to Cultivate Prodigies for the Jidao Sword Sect above!

So here, you don't need to worry about performing too outstandingly.

As long as you are outstanding enough, Hall Master Su Tongtian will focus on cultivating you!

Because once a peerless Prodigy is cultivated, by then, the Jidao Sword Sect will also heavily reward Hall Master Su Tongtian.

If a Disciple is particularly outstanding, Su Tongtian might even obtain an opportunity to enter the Jidao Sword Sect for further training.

Therefore, Lin Feng had no need to deliberately hide anything here!

He just needed to put in all his effort and use the "Martial Dao Divine Connection" fate to constantly grind experience.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng cultivated the "Jidao Fist" even harder. Every punch and Move was filled with power...

Under the repair and correction of the "Martial Dao Divine Connection" fate, his Moves became more and more proficient.

...

Just as Lin Feng was completely absorbed in his hard practice! Hall Master Su Tongtian walked out slowly from the Inner Courtyard with his hands behind his back!

Seeing the Moves Lin Feng was practicing, his eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Heh, not bad, this kid has some potential!"
